An Agricultural College and Farm.

To the Editors of The Cotton Plant:
Hon T. G.. Clemson, son-in.law OF
John G. Calhoun, who died here on 6ih
April, has willed Fort Hill, a large an.
fertile plantation, to the State of South
Carolina for the purpose of establishing
an Agricultural College. The State is
required. to put up the necessary build
iugs for the College, but in the event the
State does not respond to this require
ment there is ample provision made for
the establishment of the College indie.
pendent of State aid, though if the State
will lend its assistance to this laudable
enterprise the College can be made much
larger and more beneficial to the farmers
of the State at large than otherwise.
In addition to the gift of Fort Hill, Mr..
Clemson has endowed to the support of
this College the largest amount, 1 am
informed, that has ever been endowed
to any institution in the State, and if the
State will allow this college its share of
TIE seventy.six thousand dollars annual
appropriations from the State and Ma
tional Government for agricultural pur-
poses, South Carolina will have an
Agricultural College second to none in
America. GARNER Tillman," the agita-
tor of the farmers movement" and Col.
D. K. Norris, President, are among the
board of directors who are to have per-
petual control of this institution. Loca-
ted as this property is, in one of the best
farming ond stock raising sections of the
State, there is nothing lacking except
the harmonious action of the farmers of
the State to make this College one of the
first institutions in the country.

An Article of Many Uses.

What on earth our grandmothers and
mothers ever did without kerosene oil
is wonder, says thrifty housewife
Hardly day passes that this article is
not in requisition for some purpose. It
is used in washing, clear starching, loos.
ing screws and bolts, cleaning furniture,
polishing windows; then incidentally for
red throats, externally, and for Group
both externally and internally. But
the best use that have known it to come
into was to take'sthe rust from stove
that had stood through the summer and
gathered thick coating of red rust.
Sand and elbow grease were applied most
vigorously, but the rust held its own,
when bright idea suggested itself and
and will be Improbable. Every dollar
invested in it will be sunk, and the gen.
eral sentiment is that it ought to be.
If it is intended to bring up personal
"reminiscences of the war, it will fail in
its purpose, as few if any soldiers west Of
Indiana we're confined there. The Wes.
tern ex.soldiers will care nothing for it,
and it is argued that if it is intended for
display of the bloody shirt, it would be
more practical to remove it to Phila-
delphia, New York or Boston, as IS pei
cent. of the Libby prisoners belong in the
East.
Chicago has no bitter memories con-
nected with it, and no desire to have the
old tobacco warehouse brought here
The building in itself would be public
eyesore and nuisance. According to the
sentiments expressed by the people here
the best use to make of it is to let it stay
where it is. It is somewhat remarkable
that such feeling should have mani
tested itself against what was intended as
purely business enterprise, but the
feeling exists nevertheless.

Incendiary Rats.

According to Fire and Water, Fire
Marshall Whitcomb, of Boston, has been
recently experimenting with rats and
matches, shat up together in cage, in
order to ascertain whether they were
likely to cause fires or not. In the
absence of other known cause, frequent
fires have been ascribed to their agency,
while at the samo time many under.
writers affected to scoff at the idea.
The question may, however, now be con-
sidered as settled. The very frat night
that Marshal Whitcomb's rats were left
alone with the matches four fires were
caused, and not day passed while the
experiment was being tried that fires
were not set in this way. The rats were
we'll fed, but they seemed to find some
thing in the phosphorus that they liked.
1t was noticed that only the phosphorus
ends were gnawned, and in nearly every
instance the matches we're dragged away
from the spot where they had been laid

A Much Married Woman.

A very muchly married lady was in
the city last week FROM St. Louis. Her
name is now Mrs. Amelia Lewis, and she
was on her bridal trip with her seventh
husband. She married first in Connecti-
cut when but fifteen years old. Since
then she has married six more husbands,
coming from the States named in regular
order: New York, New Jersey, Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, Illinois and,
last but not least, Missouri. The last
husband looks as if he might live six
months or year. Mrs. Lewis is not an
old lady by any means. She bore letter
of introduction to me from friends in st.
Louis, and she said sadly that destiny
had been very unkind to her in regard to
her husbands. I suggested boycott on
destiny. Her Connecticut husband lived
just two years by the clock, when con.
sumption carried him off. Her New
York husband proved bad egg, for Mrs.
Lewis being quite wealthy, he seized all
the money he could after year of mar.
ried life and fled to London, where, sitter
a long debauch, he committed suicide at
the Charing Cross Hotel. The New Jer-
sey husband CAME next, but after two
years as the husband of Mrs. Lewis, he
fell from the steamer Chicoro, on Lake
Erie, and Was drowned. The Massachu.
setts husband, six months after his mar.
riage, accidentally shot himself, the wound
resulting in death. The New Hampshire
husband lasted the longest. BE vas mar
ried FIVE years to Mrs. Lewis, but one
summers day he eloped with q married
woman and has never been heard from
since. The Illinois husband proved 8
terror. He had most vicious temper,
was lazy, and he made Mrs. Lewis mise
rable. For monetary consideration he
consented to a divorce, which was obtain
ed, and now Mrs. Lewis has got her
seventh husband from st. Louis, Mo.
She is going to try and save him if she
can, and yesterday sailed for Europe for
a pleasure trip. Mrs. Lewis is far from
40, is plump and pretty, highly intelli.
gent and worth about 100000. Her last
husband is about thirty, and with good
care he may keep. Mrs. Lewis paid a
visit to the Capitol and told me her visit
to this city reminded her of her first visit
here with her Connecticut husband upon
their bridal trip, when she was but Is
years old. Mrs. Lewis ia still hale and
hearty enough to raise the record to ten
husbands if they will only be accommo.
dating enough to pass out of the way
with rapidity.-ABany Argus.

Consequences Of Inter.Marrlages.

'Do consanguineous marriages neces-
sarily lead to disease in the ofspring?"
is question that has been argued pro
and con for great many years. Alfred
Henry Hurth has furnished very care.
fully considered answer in the negative
in his work entitled "The Marriage of
Near Kin" Mr.. Hurth examines in the
light of all the known facts, first:
Whether consanguineous marriages are
themselves. by the mere fact Of consan.
guinity and irrespective of any inheri-
tance, injurious to the offspring; whether
in marriage between two relatives who
are both perfectly healthy, who live
under healthy conditions, and whose
family are perfectly healthy, the chill
dren born will probably be unhealthy.
And, second: Whether consanguineous
marriages give a greater proportion Of
unhealthy children than non.consan-
guineous marriages; or IN other WORDS,
whether it is fact that consanguineou,
marriages, through intensi6cation of a
previously dormant hereditary family
taint, give a greater proportion oi
unhealthy children. His conclusion
substantially, is that providing both
parents are healthy, no harm need be
expected to result to the children of such
marriages; while if both parents exhibit
proclivity to any form Of disease (a
for example, scrofula,) the tendency j:
likely to be exaggerated in the children
This accords with the practical everyday
experience of the stock.raiser and the
horse-raiser.

Children on o Battlefield.

A writer, formerly Confederate sol.
dier, tells in the Wide Awake pathetic
story of two children lost on battle field,
in a sudden assault; of Northern upon
Southern troops along road where the
children were passing. They were found,
after the battle, sin an old field, whose
long-neglected furrows were covered with
thick growth Of yellow sedge, all wet
with melted snow and shining in the soft
red rays of the setting sun. The chil>
dren were in one of the moist, tangled
fence corners. Their little blue home
spun frocks-for they both wore dresses
were all torn and draggled. Their
chubby faces were brier.scratched and
dirty. Their bare heads were matted
with dry leaves and straw. But I reckon
every man of us thought that Gods blue
sky never looked down upon prettier
picture than they made lying there, fast
asleep and clasped closely in each others
arms.
"The sergeant stopped with a low
chuckle of satisfaction. The little un is
asleep for surep he said, as he lifted
him gently and turned. The next mo-
ment he staggered under his light burden
and almost fell. A horse groan burst
from his lips. The little head with its
tangled mass of curls rolled heavily to
one side; the little arms hung inertly
down; the sergeant's hands, where they
supported the tiny neck, wereall dabbled
in blood.
"The stray shot had done its cruel work
we'll. 1t had plowed across the small, /,
white throat and the baby's head was
almost severed from the little body.
"Ten minutes before we were all ready
to toss up for the privilege of carrying
those little chaps home. But now every
man of us hung back, dumb, and unnerv-
ed. And the sergeant and Tom turned
slowly and tramped away through the
falling shadows to lay the living and the
dead together in that waiting mothers
arms. We followed silently, with uncov-
cred heads.
"More than once that night our pickets
we're challenged from the other side, and
anxious inquiries made for the little ones
/ When the answer went back across the
hush and silence of night, wescould feel,
though we could not see, the look that
swept over the faces of our foes. And
that look made Us all akin"

Progressive Agriculture.

Progressive agriculture, as some appear
to understand it, means going ahead,
without regard to safety or expense. The
young progressive farmer, who never
hoed an acre of corn nor moved an acre
of grass, fancies that by applying "busi.
ness principles" to agriculture he can roll
up fortune in few years. he must
have farm as large as his father had in
his old age; must live in better house
than his parents; he must drive better
horse, ride in better carriage, sport a
finer watch, play the gentleman at more
expense, cut larger swells, speak louder
and be known further than his old.foggy
ancestors ever dared to dream of.
The young progressive farmer has no
idea of getting rich by the little; he is
bound to have pile all at once. He Is
not going to bring up lambs by hand,
selling turnips at twenty-five cents a
bushel, carry chickens to market, wear
patched clothes, and cart potatoes round
like q peddler-not he. Talk to him
about cultivating q farm of fifty acres
Why, he wants four or FIVE hundred acres,
and he will demonstrate figures that the
more land he cultivates the larger bis
percentage ofpro6ts will be. Talk to one
of those progressive farmers about expe-
rience, and he will laugh at you. Why,
he is sure that he knows thousand
things which would astonish his father

working and waiting, and, though willing
to work, he is not anxious to wait. Now
that is the point. We believe young
men ought to be set right on. Instead Of
