Romance of a Boating Accident.

ST. GEORGES BAY, N. F., May o.
A French brig arrived here Thursday
from Saint Malo, North of France,
bound on fishing expedition to Port-au'
Choix. She diverged from her course to
send on shore Miss Louise Journeaux
who was rescued from small shell boat
at sea about twenty miles from the Island
of Jersey. Her story is this: That on
Sunday, April 18, having left church,
she went out boating with a gentleman
companion. While rowing, the oarsman
lost one of his oars, and in the effort to
rescure it he lost the other. Being a good
swimmer, he unhesitatingly jumped over
to recover his oars. Meanwhile the wind
was freshening and the tide was setting
from the shore. He lost sight of the
boat and must have sunk. Miss Jour-
neaux was then alone, and during the
two days and nights was drifting about
in her fragile craft, which was almost
filled with water and at the complete
mercy of wind and tide. When the
French brig providentially arrived on
the scene she was in a most hopeless con-
dition. She was taken on board the
brig and cared for, and failing to rerch
Jersey was brought 1000 miles away
from home to the West coast of New
foundland. Meantime, Farne, her COM
panion, succeeded in reaching shore, and
boat was dispatched in search of the
missing shell boat, but without success.
Farne was arrested next day and exam,
ined before the Mayor of St. Hellers,
and committed to custody on a charge of
murder. The sentry at Elizabeth Castle
deposed that about the hour of the oc-
currence he heard cries of murder off St.
Heller's harbor. The circumstancial
evidence against Farne is now disproved
by Tho living woman's evidence.

Hillside Understanding.

Will you please say in your next Cal-
s;vator whether it is best in making hill
side bitches to throw the dirt on the upper
side or the lower, or would you do away
with all hillside bitches, and instead
make terraces? Please give me your
advise on this saving land subject, for |
believe it is the vital one of the day
j. HIS.
ANswER.-Ditches are indispensable
where water accumulates above q field
and naturally flows down through it. One
or more bitches at the upper edge of a
field are very necessary in such case.
Where the slopes are steep or very long
and washes have already started, we find
it easy to control the water by combi-
nation of bitches and terraces. After the
terraces have become we'll established and
firmly held by grass and weeds, and after
the incipient washes have been stopped
and obliterated, then the bitches may be
filled up. Where land is fresh and has
no washes started in it, terraces alone
will answer, but as general rule it is
well to begin with bitches and end with
terraces. If bitches are made, let them
be wide and deep enough to carry off the
water of the heaviest rains, one that call
not do this will cause more harm than
good. Dig the ditch deep enough for
the lower edge to hold the water; when
the dirt taken out of the ditch is not
thrown up into dam, but is scattered
broadcast on the land below, little mar.
row dam on the lower side of a ditch is a
very poor dependence; let the ditch be
deep enough and wide enough to hold
the water without dam. Give it good
fall, not less than one foot in sixty a
ditch is more apt to fill up, than wash
out too deep. fit tends to wash out too
much, few distractions placed here
and there along its course will correct
that.
If ditch is cut through turfy soil, the
dirt may be thrown on the upper side to
advantage; but if the dirt is loose, the
first big rain is apt to wash it back into
the ditch at certain points, and filling ii
up cause it to break over. We prefer to
throw the dirt broadcast below the ditch
and leave an unplowed strip three OF
four feet wide along the upper margin Of
the ditch to keep its upper edge from be-
ing cut down by the water as it runs into
the ditch. This strip is soon set in grass
and weeds, which check the force of the
water and fitted the dirt out of it. The
lands between bitches are terraced just
like any other, the lines of terraces run
ming across the bitches, so that when tht
bitches are finally obliterated, the terra
ces will be continuous across the field.
You are entirely correct in holding
that the saving of the soil from washing
is the vital point in the hill country
Hold the soil, hold the manure put in i
and deepen it from year to year, until
soil proper, eight or ten inches deep, il
secured, and it will truly be bank o
deposit from which the largest dividend
NAV be drawn.-,Southern CuNiuator.

Miss Wallace Questioned.
Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs
George Fickland, Al McAffee street, and
from her own lips the reporter learned
the following appalling story:
Several months ago she became almost
totally blind and deaf. Her bones be.
came the seat of intense pain, her joints
were swollen and painful, and eventually
her whole body and limbs became COW
cred with splotches and small sores.
Her appetite failed, and she gradually
lost flesh and strength, and had but little
use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed.
To the reporter she said: II had blood
poison and rheumatism, and before one
bottle of B. B. B. had been taken | began
to see and hear. When I had completed
the use of six bottles my eyesight and
hearing was fully restored, sense Of taste
returned, all splotches disappeared, sore.
ness all healed, and my strength and
flesh restored"

Throwing Out Hints.

When Georgia farmer found out that
his son John was sparkling certain far
mer's daughter for year or more without
settling any question, he called him out
behind the stack and said to him:
"John, do you love Susan Tinker?"
ri guess do, dad"
"And does she love you?"
"That's what I dunno, and Pm 'fraid
to ask her."
"Well you'd better throw out a feH
hints tonight and find out. It's no use
wearing out boot leather unless you are
going to marry her."
That night at ten o'clock John came
home a wreck. His face was all SCARED
up, his ear was bleeding, his hat gone
and his back was covered with mud:
"John ! John what on airth is the
matter? ?" exclaimed the old man, laying
down his paper.
"Bin over to Tinker's," was the reply
"Aud-and-"
Sand threw out few hints to Susan. =
"What kind % hints ?"
"Why, I told her I'd been hoohng ii
two miles four nights in a week for the
last year to set up with her while she
chawed gum and sung through her nose,
and now I reckoned it was time for her
to brush her teeth and darn up her stock
ings, cure the bile on her chin and tell
the old folks that we're engaged"
"And her father bounced you ?"
"No, dad, no; that's where I'm con-
soled. 1t took the whole family, includ.
ing Susan, two hired men and three dogs,
and then wasn't morn half licked. l
guess we moved on 'em too soon, dad
guess it wasn't quite time to throw out
hints" s."-Savannah Record.

Gordon and Bacon.

ATLANTA, GA, May 2l.-The strong
personal tone that has been given to the
Joint discussions between Gen. Gordon
and Major Bacon, the rival candidates
for the Governorship, in their tour
through the State, has aroused partisan
feeling everywhere as it has not been
aroused for long time. Every commu.
nifty is divided into factions on the ques.
tion whether Major Bacon did right in
quitting the army in 1868. So great is
the tension on public feeling that Pat
rick Walsh, on behalf of Major Bacon,
and E. P. Howell, for Gen. Gordon,
have decided that the joint discussions
shall cease with the engagement for to-
morrow. 1t is remarked that the propo-
sition to abandon the prearranged pro-
gramme came from Major Bacon's friends.
Now that each of the candidates can
make separate dates for speaking, free
from the presence of his adversary, it is
feared that the personal reference of each
to the other will grow more pointed.
