A Wife's Presence Of Mind.

James Cole lives with his wife, near
Hobdy's, Pa. A few nights ago he awoke
with a strange humping in bis right ear
followed by twinges of pain, as though
the lining of the ear were being torn
away. Almost crazed, he woke up his
wife and told her som ethiug lad crswled
into his ear and was eating its way
through his head. Mrs. Cole lighted a
lamp and tried to fine. what the foreign
substance in her husbands ear was by
feeling in it with hair pin and knit.
ting needle. She was unable to draw it
out. Mr.. Cole then dressed himself to
drive 70 the doctors, eight miles distant.
His wife happened to think that certain
insects were generally fascinated by a
light, and she bad her husband wait until
che tried an experiment She held a
candle close to his ear, assuring him that
if it was swapping bug or miller of
any kind it would come out to the light.
In less than minute Mrs. Cole saw the
head of formiS Sablo looking bug thrust
out of her husba and's ear. The head was
quickly followed by a body an inch long.
The bug crept out and Mrs. Cole knocked
it on the floor. A stream of blood fol.
lowed the exit of the bug from Coles ear.
Mrs. Cole stepped on the insect and kill.
ed it. It was on 9 of those big beetles
that have their heads hung on hinge,
and work them up and down with a loud
snap when in use. Thanks to his wife's
know ledge of insect habits, Mr.. Cole was
rescued from the bug in time to prevent
serious consequences.

Sad Suicide.

GREENvILLE, August 15.-Coroper
McBee returned last night from the resi-
dence of Mr. T. j. Cureton, in Grove
township, nine miles below The city,
where he held an inquest over the body
OF Mics Mamie Cureton, whose supposed
suicide was telepraphed to The Sunday
Ne1os. The evidence at the inquest de.
yeloped the fact that a-youpg man ID during
Mr.. and Mrs. Cnreton's visit to the city
drove to Mr.. Cureton's gate and handed
the young lady note and said something
about meeting somebody. This conver-
sation was overheard by the younger
children. Miss Cureton soon afterwards
dressed herself in her best clothes, and,
dividing her effects as presents among the
other children, left the house, telling
them she was going off to get married.
Yesterday morning she was tracked to
the river at Adams's mill pond. Her
tracks were the only ones that could be
found. The pond was dragged and her
body found. a very careful examination
by DR.. G. T. Swsndale proved that there
had been no violence upon her person,
and the banks of the river showed no eyi.
dence ofa struggle. Who the young man
was who called at the house is not known.
The affair is wrapt in mystery, as her
parents are sure, from her quiet home
life, that she was not entangled in love
affair, and was not receiving the alten-
tions Of any young man. It is the theory
Of some people that the note. which can.
not be found, was merely business note
to Mr.. Cureton. The young lady had
formerly shown symptoms of alteration
of the mind, and the most plausible the
ory is that che had become insane, aud
either intentionally drowned herself or
accidentally fell into the water. The
family are people of good standing in
the community, and the young lady her
self was of the best character and above
the slightest breath Of reproach. There
is much sympathy with the family over
the sad eveDt.-Dispatch to the Ne'cs and

1t is doubtful whether, in all The time
since South Carolina was the hunting
ground of the Indian, any single fifth OF
q century has witnessed within her Dor.
ders a relative progress in material vel
fare equal with the last. 1t needs no
complication OF statistics to show this.
Look at Columbia, the beautiful city in
which you are holding this Summer
meeting. Compare her in 1865, sitting
amid ashes and her population feeding
on the refuse cattle of Sherman's supply
train, with her condition to-day. See her
waste places rebuilt, often more substan-
TALLY than. before; ber. homes once more
surrounded with the comforts of life, and
her people on the streets and in the marts
again steadily asserting themselves in
the battle of life. Columbia in this but
represents the State, and in the degree of
her rehabilitation does not more than
equal the general progress. The uncom-
planning fortitude. the incompatible
energy of the South in the struggle to
restore her fortunes, broken in the late
civil war, has been witnessed with admi-
ration by all, and to y.mind presents as
much of the heroic element as anything
in her history, from Sumter to Appomat:

: Spring oats arc planted in rotation
with corn on the second low grounds (;
fall oats on highland in rotation with
cotton. In the cotton rotation the land
is sown down Immediately upon harvest
ing the oats in peas, fertilized with either
ash element or kainit. When the peas
are matured, hogs, and no other stock,
are pastured, not too closely, upon them.
The value of the peas to the hogs is esti.
mated at about the cost of the pen and
ash element crop, leaving its ameliorat.
ing value as clear gain. The cotton re.
ceives two hundred bushels of compost
in the drill, which is found to be as much
as can be advantageously applied to the
acre in that way. The oat crop, neither
spring or fall, receives manure. The
crop ia threshed as soon as harvested,
both to secure economy in feeding the
grain and by careful housing to save the
straw in the best condition for winter
forage. Cut when not over-ripe and
cured without or with little rain it is
valuable. Salt, in putting it away, makes
it moro palatable to stock. Tho yield of
oats hns varied with SEASONS from twenty
five to forty yseven bushels per acre.

was ten thousand pounds to the acre,
exceeding more than four.fold the
average crop of the United States. Mr..
Childs, within FIVE miles of where ne are

per aunum. Col. Rion's growth OF
lucerne in Fairfield yielded ten cuttings
in the season, and by actual measurement
twenty-five feet of growth. The Egyp-
tiau millet, a luxuriant and valuable
forage plant, is cut from six to seven
times and gives a total growth of eight to
ten feet
The market gardens near Charleston
are unsurpassed anywhere. Within the
last four years the growth of watermelons
for market has been introduced along the
line of the South Carolina Railroad in
Aiken aud Barnwell Counties, and the
profits have been such that this year FIVE
thousand acres are devoted to the crop.
Last year one farmer, Wethersbee, Of
Barnwell, sold one hundred carloads for
ten thousand dollars, finding his market
in Charleston, New York aud Cincinnati
He informs me that his net return, the
expenses of production being included
with cast of marketing, was something
over $4,000. In the same section o1

THE FISHING INTERESTS.
An Enquiry by the Senate Committee
on Foreign Affairs.

Yesterday afternoon, at the Falmouth
Hotel, the Senatorial committee on foreign
affairs held session of inquiry into the
condition of the fishing interests and took
the testimony of a number of Portland fish
dealers and vessel owners. The gentlemen
of the committee arrived in the city at noon.
They are Senators Edmunds, Frye and Sauls-
bury, and were accompanied by Mr.. Wilson
Vance, the clerk of the committee; Mr.. A.
johns, stenographer, and Mr.. John D. Mer-
ritt. deputy sergeant-at-arms of the United
States Senate. Senators Frye and Edmunds
were accompanied by their wives.
The meeting in the afternoon was private
After its conclusion, Senator Edmunds
stated that the committee had concluded its
work in Portland and would probably take
no more testimony inthe matter of the fish
cries. The Senator stated that it had been
deemed advisable to have the sessions of the
committee private as the question under
consideration is an international one.
