to learned Judge the other day and he
said that when d negro had case in

rather than against him. But let the
negro 60 North and try to get in q white

has tried to enforce the amendments to
the Constitution, and he can't do it,

been at any time since the war. If this
money was given to educate the negro he
ought to have it, and if he goes before

About this time the usual equinociial

disturbance should be greater at one
place than another, for the earth is
revolving at the rate of thousand miles

Why is it Thus )

1t has been estimated that the cost of
producing bale of cotton will average
$Sl. Now suppose the bale to weigh 500
pounds at s cents, it will bring in the
market $40; a net profit of 50. There
fore the farmer who raises ten bales OF
cotton has the handsome income of $50,
and he who raises twenty rejoices IN
twice so much. From this we see that
the man who can make 100 bales OF
cotton may do very we'll, but he who
makes much less had best try something
else. We are astonished at the vast
amount of cotton that is planted, when
it is universally admitted by our farmers
that it is an industry in which there is
little or no profit. Still thousands of
acres were planted this year and as many
more will be planted again. Why is it?
Is it because they have contracted the
habit of raising cotton and can't shake it
off even tho they are willing to admit it
is bad one. They have handled the
soft stuff SO long that they can't quit, or
still worse have they inherited it from
their fathers? Is this strange facination
for cotton fields in their very blood,
great appetite handed down from sire to
son? I'VE cannot tell. Would that our
farmers would rise in their strength and
with one great effort overcome this
mighty passion for hoeing and blowing
cotton and with all respect to their
fathers turn their attention to something
else. :,
We heard one of our most experienced
farmers remark the other day, that any
thing, even raising grass was a better
business. We will not insist on total
abstinence, one may indulge himself if
he wishes in few garden spots around
the house for the sake of "auld lang
syne," just an occasional acre will DO no
harm, it may serve as q gentle reminder
of the Improbable days that are gone.--.

Fighting With a Jersey Bull.

Mr.. J. E. Cock6eld, a young man of
Lake City, was few days ago engaged
in moving hay. In the field was very
large Jersey bull belonging to MIR. ). d.

mower approached him he began paving
the ground and making other demonstra-
tions Of fight. Mr.. Cockfeld knew that
he was fierce, and fearing that he would
gore the mules, stopped the mower, and
q approached with whip to drive him of.
The bull ran q short distance, and Cock
field thinking him gone, started back
toward his machine. Hearing a slight
noise, he turned just in time to glimpse
the mad beast rushing upon him. The
next instant he was hurled forward
several PAGES, and the bull dashed on
over him. Fortunately he had struck
between the horns. As he sprang to his
feet the bull had turned and charged
again, knocking hin, down and attempt.

horns, and caught the beast firmly around
tho neck, checking him. He managed
then to get one hand in the bulbs eye

AS n Pill Vendor.

NEW YORK, September 26.-It does not
seem quite natural to associate Samuel
J. Tilden with pill factory, but it is
fact that he was deeply interested, fnan-
cially, in the first concern that went into
the pill business in this country, Tilden
& Co. have large factory at New Leba-
non and New York headquarters on
Liberty street. The troubles about that
remarkable will have developed the fact
that for many years previous to his death
the statesman had been the main stay OF
the concern which one time came near
going under. And the main point at
issue now between the heirs is whether
certain debts Of Tilden & Co. shall be
paid by the active members of the firm.
or by The estate of the always and now
doubly silent partner. Not only did Til
den & Company venture before all others
into the business of pill making, but they
were the first to manufacture fluid ex.
tracts. To this day pills and fluid
extracts are the leading features of the
business, and eight or nine articles on the
list are specialities that cannot be obtain
ed elsewhere. They are protected by
trade marks but are in no other sense
patent medicines as they are never dis.
posed of to the public, and public patron
age has never been sought. The concern
deals directly with the wholesalers and
the physicians, and the names of the
drugs and compounds if printed would
be Insignificant to all but the trade and
profession. Many of the plants from
which the extracts are developed are
cultivated by the company at New Leba'
non, considerable area of ground being
devoted to this purpose. Such chemicals
as are necessary to the production of the
medicines manufactured are made also
at New Lebanon, and in fact, the man-
ufacture of chemicals is part of the
business. Tilden g. Co. are making lots
of money. The statesman kept out of
sight as to his connection with the firm
during his lifetime, but it does not follow
that his voice was entirely silent in its
councils. The Office that still has his
name on the door on Nassau street,
where he met his clients as lawyer, is
suspiciously near the headquarters of the
drug factory on Liberty street-just round
the corner, in short.

Physicians Puzzled.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, September 81
Ifsuch a thing as witchcraft exists at the
the present time, then this city has a
genuine stamp-on the-bottle case of it.
Leonard Westveer is a paper hanger who
resides at No. II Huntington street. Mr..
Westyeer's family consists of himself,
wife, two daughters and son, twelve
wears of age, named Army. The family
is of Dutch descent and we'll to do. Its
members have attended the Dutch Re.
formed Church here, and are considered
among the leading members of the con.
gregation. 1t is the boy Army about
whom interest centres.
Five weeks ago he was seized with q
form of St. Vitus's dance, and for fully
fifteen minutes was unable to control the
muscles of bis lower limbs. The fit pass.
ed off and no other symptoms appeared
until he retired in the evening. After
getting into bed he was seized again with
q shock, which apparently affected all the
muscles in his body. The boy cried for
help and his parents entered the room.
AS they did so they were astounded to
see the chairs and other furniture moving
up and down, seemingly in unison with
the movements of his muscles. The
chairs would rise six or eight inches,
while the bed and bureau would shake
perceptibly. Finally the shock passed
away and the motion ceased, only to be
followed, as the family state, by noises or
rappings which seemed to come from the
walls and ceilings of the room. The
rappipg also died away.
Since that time Army has had the fits
or shocks at intervals oftwo or three days.
They are now increasing in frequency,
and hardly a day passes without one,
though they do not increase in violence.
In each instance the shocks were accom-
panied by the moving Of articles in the
vicinity of the boy. Residents of the
neighborhood soon heard of the peculiar
case, and it was generally believed that
the story told by the family was hoax.
Several prominent residents called at the
house one evening to see for themselves.
While there the boy was attacked 80
strongly that it required two men to hold
him in his chair. Meanwhile everything
in the room, except the carpet. was IN
motion, chairs rose to two feet high, and
a heavy centre table was lifted several
inches above the floor.
Since tho evening mentioned parties
have been at the house almost daily to wit.
ness the strange phenomena. Amongthos
who called are Rev. Peter DeBruyn,
pastor of the church which the Westveers
attend, and Rev. Mr.. Meirsman of the
German Church. Young Westveer has
had medical attendance for about a
month, and has been watched by three
physicians, who say they are all puzzled
by the symptoms. They say he is not
troubled with St. Vitus' dance or epiep-
sy, and are inclined to believe he has
heart disease. The physicians scout at
the idea of witchcraft, but cannot account
for the movements is of furniture and the
rappings which accompany each spell.

Down in Hanover county, Va, is an Atri-

family of the Rev. Curtis Grubb, an Episco.
pal clergyman, who many years ago went
out from Loudoun county, Va, as mission
ary to Western Africa. While there, he
and his wife became very much attached to
a little girl, princess of the nation among
whom they were prosecuting their mission
airy work, and when it came time for them
to return to their home in America they
asked permission that the child should &C.
company them. She was then not more
than eight or nine years OF age. Her father,
when first requested to allow his daughter
to come 20 America, gave his consent, it
may be not thinking that the missionary
and his wife were serious in their intention
of taking the child home with them, but
when it came time for the departure he did
not want her to 60. He was told that be
had promised that she might be taken by
the missionary. It is 6 cardinal principle
among the tribe that promise once made
cannot be broken, if it is insisted upon;
so the father reluctantly gave his
consent that the child might go.
The missionary named it Nettie, after
his own wife, and treated it more as a
plaything and curiosity than as servant
Though having children of their own, the
little African girl was treated as though OF

the missionary and his wife as though they
were her own parents. She made progress
