THE MISSISSIPPI MASSACRE.

We referred briefly last week to
the massacre Of thirteen colored men
in Carrolton, Miss, by an armed
mob Of white men. 1t seems that
two colored men named Brown had
been charged with attempting to as
sassinate prominent citizen named
Linden. The accused were on trial
for the offense, and number of col
ored people were present, as is gen.
orally the case in such proceedings.
Without warning a mob of flom fiji
ty to one hundred masked men APP
peared in the Court House aid CON-
menced firing on the colored people
the result of which was seventeen
colored men were killed. They rush
ed from the Court House pell nell
and ran to the woods and other
places of concealment, to elude the
vengeance of their pursuers. No one
Of the mob was injured in the least,
and this fact refutes the statement
that the colored people were armed.
No efforts were made to investigate
the horrible occurrence, or find out
the perpetrators of it. The Govern
or had taken no steps to that end,
stating that all was quiet at Carroll
ton. A dispatch from Washington,
dated the 25th, referring to the sub
ject, says: "Letters continue to be
received here, giving further details
of the recent slaughter of colored
men while attending court in Car
rollton, Miss. The latest report
places the number of killed and those
who have died from wounds at sew
enteen. The attention of the Presi-
dent has been called to the matter
by ex-senator Bruce and ex-Con-
gresham Lynch. They have re-
ceived many letters from the scene
of the slaughter which represent that
many colored people, paralyzed by
fear at the outrage, fed to the woods
and that among these were num-
Der who were wounded. These let
tiers state that it is not known how
many have died of their wounds, but
the number rs much larger than was
at first reported. The slaughter
was committed near the home of
Senator George, and his son is said
to have been one of the "Regula

ed his attention to the fact that the
Governor of Mississippi had taken
no official action in the premises, and
was represented as having intimat-
ed that no action could be taken, as
it would trench upon the authority
of the county. The President listen
ed with attention to the recitals of
Messrs. Bruce and Lynch, and ex-
pressed himself in decided terms
against such blight to our civiliza,
ton. He expressed himself surDris-
ed that the State authorities had
taken no steps to have the outrage
investigated and the guilty parties
brought to justice. He intimated
that it had been talked about by the
Attorney General and himself

SOWING CLOVER SEED-H0W TO
GET A CLOVER CATCH.

Mr.. f. Barry, of Ohio, gives to
the Country Geatlemdn his method
of securing a catch of clover: "0n
bare hillsides, where the soil has
been washed away, few loads of
manure scattered over the narrowed
surface will always insure good
stand of clover if sown in February
or March. The best time to SOW
clover upon wheat land is when the
snow is on the ground, during these
two months. As the snow melts,
leaving the ground soft, the weight
Of the seed will carry it sufficiently
deep to insure termination.
Mr.. Barry says: although seed.
ing clover by itself has been my ia
vorite practice, / do not insist on il
where the land is in frst.class con-
dition. But if land is in any degree
run down would say by all means
seed it to clover without any other
crop.

that needs renovating is free of
wheat or grass in the spring. !
would proceed as follows: Fist,
pick up all the stones, if there are
any, large and small. The same

sance. Then harrow the ground,
and keep narrowing it till it is as
level and fine as it is possible for 1t
to be. There is no use OF blowing,
but put labor on with the harrow,
though, if at all lumpy, going over
with the roller, with harrow again
afterward, will be well. The finish
ing up should be done with the
Thomas, or at least with fine tooth
implement. Then sow eight quarts
to the acre, and if sown both rags it
will be more sure to be even, unless
the sower has unusual skill.n
"Now, instead of narrowing it in,
take two planks, eight or ten feet
long, more or less, fasten them to-
gether and rig for drawing sideways.
Put on a box for seat and go over
the ground once, and j shall conf

fine-tooth harrow for covering the
seed will answer, yet some of it gets
covered too deep; besides, the press

the greatest utility. | am disposed
to think the plank preferable to the
roller, but am not sure OF this. !

any, should be picked again after

OF sowing clover on wheat, with no

of doing things. 1t is only under

rhe Railroad to Eastern oregon.

If il is true that a railroad is now to be
constructed from the present terminus OF
the California and Oregon, enthusiastically
into eastern Oregon and Idaho, it is OF
more Importance than any other enterprise
that has been undertaken on the coast since
the Central Pacific was projected. Such a
road will do more for the merchants and
manufacturers of this State thar the con-
struction of any other road could possibly
do. There was a time when all the trade
of eastern Oregon, eastern Washington,
Idaho, and a portion of that OF Montana,
flowed to this coast. Although that great
area was then sparsely settled, n its re-
sources undeveloped, the value OF the trade
was very great.
Idaho from 1862, the year gold was dis
covered there, to 1882, paid the merchants
and manufacturers of this State an average
of S.. 600, 600 annually. The trade of east
ern Oregon, eastern Washington and Mon
tana was proportionately large. The build
ing of railroads to those regions from the
East entirely changed the current of that
trade. It flowed East to Chicago, and is
now entirely lost to the State. The terri
tory now to be opened to our competition
is not the same as when our merchants
m~onopolized the trade. Population has
increased many fold. The mining, grazing
and grain-growing interests have grown
maryelously. The value of their trade is
many times what it was then.
The road to that great country is not by
vay of Portland, Or, thence up the Co
Iumbia river. That road goes around the
elbow, while this projected road up the
klamath valley cuts straight across, and is
the short line, and will furnish the means
TO fight for the trade of a rapidly-develop-
ing empire which, geographically, belongs
to Sacramento and San Francisco. We
hone that it is true that such a road is to be
built. The building of this branch, to-
gether with the completion of the road to
Portland, will insure an immense traffic
ere nam years over the roads extending
up the Sacramento valley.

narrow fingers, or shoes, set close together,
that may be raised or lowered by the driver,
pass along the ground, just as a mans hand
would if put down with fingers extended
to SCOOP up clods. Between these fingers
or shoes run seven wheels operating indie
pendently on a common axle. The periphry
of each wheel is armed with %protruding
diamond-shaped spokes or teeth extending
six inches, and set from three to four
inches apart, but in line with each other.
AS the fingers or shoes are drawn along,
the clods are forced upon them, and the
spokes or teeth descend upon and break
them to a fineness equal to the width be-
tween the spokes and fingers, and even
finer. The spokes, sinking into the ground,
describe the arc of a circle going down and
coming up, and thus loosen the soil. Me-
chanical device provides for clearing one or
all the wheels of sticks, or my cause OF
clogging, and part OF this device consists
in freeing the shoe, so that it turns
completely over, and the other or upper
end takes its place, thus skipping the OBJ
struction. The patent claims also a seeder,
to operate at the rear, and drills for plant
ing; also outer wheels and shoes to run close
up to trees or vines. The test had showed
no packing of the ground whatever, and
clods were broken that otherwise required
very heavy blows to break. After rainfall
the machine would, of course, work greatly
easier. 1t left rows that appeared as if har-
rowed and raked like a garden. Those
who witnessed its operation came away
satisfied that the application of the lifting
and breaking principle is full of promise
for farming interests. After rainfall a
more accurate test can be made, because
the conditions will be fairer. The trial
machines were.made at the Benicia Agri-
cultural works.

Murder and suicide Near payisyiIIe.

A dispatch from Davisville states hat a
murder and suicide occurred near that
place, on the ranch of H. NJ. LaRue, Thurs
day evening. The particulars are given as
follows a German woman named
Schmighten, who has been employed as
cook and housekeeper on the farm for sew
eral months, returned by the 3:15 train
from a visit to Sacramento, accompanied
by her husband, with whom, it seems, she
has not been On very good terms lately.
The pair fingered about town until a late
hour, when they started for the ranch in
an open buggy. Nothing is known of what
occurred on the route home. although they
probably quarreled, and the first intimation
of their arrival on the ranch was the sound
of pistol shots and the screams of the
woman. j. E. LaRue was the first breach
the unfortunate couple, when he found the
man stone dead and the woman in the
agonies of death. 1t is known that the
woman possessed some property of which
her husband desired to gain possession,
aud possibly her refusal to surrender it led
to the tragedy" The Woodland Mail of
yesterday says that Schmighten kept a sa-
loon in Sacramento.

A sacramento Invention.

Improvements in agricultural imple-

great mass of them tend to advance agri-
cultural interests. and enhance the capacity

latest of these inventions has just been
natented to David Lubin, of Sacramento. 1t
IS a clod pulverizer and a culhyator:
Crushing clods in summer, after months OF
hakinq Is rarely attempted with success.
Tbe new machine was tried last week, how
ever. on land of varying ~stubborness, and
demonstrated that a right principle has
been applied. Ulod crushers are generally
beavv. and in breaking clods often drive
them into the ground and pack the earth.
The great desire is to avoid this. The new
machine operates on the principle OF pick
ing up and breaking the clod, n OF u
yerizing the earth below it. A series OF

PRospERIrY AT ANDERsoN.-The Ander

PROSPERITY AT ANDERsoN.-The Ander-
son Shasta county, Enterprise speaks of the
prosperity of that place as follows: "On
every side in Anderson are signs of increas-
ing trade. Our streets are full of teams
some hauling freight to the north, some
bringing in the fat of the land, and others
going out with merchandise for the farms
and mining fields. 1t will not be long be
fore the bridge will be completed, and when
this is done we expect to see trade still in
creased. The fact is Anderson has, in our
opinion, started on q movement forward
that will not be checked for several years.
She is destined to make a nice town of
several thousand inhabitants, and right
now is a good time for those hunting
places to engage in different lines of indus
try to come here and begin. And it is safe
to say that property of all kinds can be had
cheaper now than in any time in the fu-
ture.'
