may begin to force their growth if
necessary. Nothing is better at this
stage of their growth than to apply
dry stable manure, rubbed fine, and
sowed over the bed. applying at the
rate of five bushels to every one hum
dred square yards. Be sure to have
it dry and fine. and apply when the
plants are dry. This is favorable
time to apply good fertilizer, and
the best time to apply it is during a
shower, or when it is apparent that
one is impending. Nothing is better
than compost for top-dressing on

The Past Winter.

We shall now begin to reap the re-
ward of our winter management OF the
flock. II the management has been
good high standard OF health will
likely be the rule and the breeding
owes win perform their mission safely
and well. II the management has not
been good the reverse Of this possibly
will happen. In either case we may
learn q good lesson There is one
feature of poor management that is
very apt to be entirely overlooked or
really accounted as good management
and that is feeding too much. Some
how overlooking is regarded as kind
ness and good treatment. There are
few fiocks that do not get enough to
eat There are many that get
too much. Ewes are often kept
too fat Sheep management fails in
feeding too much especially of the
wrong kinds of food, and in neglecting
to provide plenty of water and to keep
the quarters clean. Too much dry food
is bad But then, again. too much
watery food is bad, especially for breed
ing ewes. To fill up eve with cold
roots will likely cause abortion. to say

foods in too large quantities toward

Remarkable Discoveries,

CRY OF MEXICO, Mexico. Aug. 6.--Re-
Gently returned explorers from the state
of Chiapas confirm and add to the re-
markablo reports concerning important
archaeological discoveries. a fine, broad
paved road, built by prehistoric inlabi-
tants, has been traced from Tonala down
into Guatemala, and thence in Il curve
up again into Mexico, terminating at
Palenque, All along this road are still
to be seen the remains OF ruined cities
and careful estimate of the
one time reputation of these
places is about thirty millions On that
part of the road near Palenque the ruins
are of great magnitude. Houses four
and often five, stories high have been
found In the depths of the forest. Many
ofthesc houses are pyramidal i'll form
and so covered are some of them with
vegetable mold that large trees are grow
ing from the roof In some Of the
houses employment has been made of
stone beams of tremendous weight, and
the architecture indicates q high degree
of science.
In some of the houses visited bronze
lamps have been discovered aud the in.
terror and exterior decorations OF the
more important houses consist of panel
ings filled with elabOrntely carved figures
almost life size, two types of men and
Egyptian and Others genuine Africans.
In front of one OF the houses the eXplor-
ers found fourteen sculptures of gods
with folded arms.
The work of exploration was one of
extreme difficulty, owing to the density
of the forest and the unwillingnesS of
the Indians 10 enter the ancient edifices,
they averriug that the buildings were
Inhabited by spirits. Another discovery
was that an enormous paved road ev-
tends frOm Palenquc across luca.0l %

AS the story goes, many years ago q
man named Rcissner accompanied
George Kochler, wife, and two daughters
from Hamburg to this country; Reiss-
ner's s wife remaining in Germany, Rciss'
ncr lived with the kochiers and became
infatuated with one of the daughters,
whom he married. The union did not
prove TO be a happy one, and the couple
led miserable life One day after q
stormy interview with his newly made
wife she left him, returning to her pa.
rents. Reissner called upon them, and
was refused admittance to the house.
lie then told the old folks that he was
willing 10 separate from his wife, and
that they should come to his home and
take away her belongings. They com
piled, and when the parents of Mrs.
Reissner reached his house the latter
shot them both, wounding them fatally.
He then committed suicide. The neigh
bors came together and buried him
without any ceremony or coffin in IL
corner of his property. On Monday last
prepoSsessing young stranger made
his appearance here and represented
that he was n son of the murderer and
that he desired TO view his fathers
grave. He was taken to the spot on the
farm OF Peter Weinand, and left next
day seemingly satisfied with the result
OF his mission.

A HAUNTED SPOT.
a Place Which the Negroes VIII Not
Nisit-How "a Child disappeared.

from the Brunswick tGa) Times.l
There is a lonely and scquestered spot
in the woods around Brunswick, whore
no negro man, woman OF child will dare
be found.
In what is generally known as Full
toms pasture, near Dixville, and facing
the boulevard, is a pond of stagnant
water, the surroundings of Which are all
suggestive of quiet and solitude. The
surface of the pond is dotted will small
clumps Of sand, upon which myrtle
bush Invariably grows. The pond itself
is about 500 yards in circumference with
an average depth of one and half feet.
IL is said that no negro will 20 near
this pond at any hour OF the day, and
Investigation has proven the statement
TO be true. Upon questioning one of
these prcjudiced darkies, Il Times re-
porter learned the following cause for
stunning il by the colored people.
Way back yonder in the early part of
the year 1863, a young negro girl was
sent by her mother TO gather wood in
the neighborhood of the pond and she
never returned. Search was made for
her but nothing was found except her
wide-b -brimmed hat which was found
floating on the stagnant water. The
community was aroused and turned out
en- masse TO find the missing child. They
failed to find her.
One dark night, about one year after
this strange disappearance, lone
negro fisherman landed at the
bluff, near where the boulevard
bridge now stands, and gathering up his
oars, oarlocks and a few fish he had been
fortunate enough TO catch, proceeded on
his way home, 1t being considerably
nearer for him to "cut" through these
woods, he did so and had TO pass direct
a IN
picked his way carefully through the
underbrush, his koen-sighted eyes peer
ing eagerly through the darkness, a
strange sound met his ears. 1t was the
voice of child, singing some weird and
discordant notes of a well known pianta-
tion air. The fisherman paused and lis
tened. II seemed as if the source of the
almost .paralyzed with fear, the old
negro called out:
"Whe's thereT'
The song suddenly ceased and an
answering voice was heard.
The spirit of Myrtle pond"
So weird and unearthly wrs the
answer that the old negro turned and
ran in the direction from which he came
while the ghostly music was resumed.
The fisherman reached his cottage by
a more roundabout way that night, and
his family, in their humble cot, listened
to his recital Of the thrilling experience
he had passed through. The story
spread until II was general talk among
the superstitious negroes and not one
dared approach the pond.
Two little negro boys came running
into their NANNY" one day recently
and told a ir-splitting narrative of
how. while out near the pond playing,
O white robed figure appeared before
them singing a plaintive melody. They
had run home as fast as possible, SO
frightened were they by the apparition.
