a Mafl Of Cotton Cloth.

PARIS, September 5.-The city Of Con-
stantine in Algeria has just heea making
remarkable fight against Inc crickets,
which Threatened to strip the town Of
every BIT of foliage Thess pests, which
haveibeen trying foS tive Years to turn.
Algeria fife Z 1ssert, invaded the town
in { ofoGdi, and in few hours they we're
dsvouring all the gardens, and even the
interior Of the houses, the hospital and
the prisons swarmed With them. It is
well known that the particular insect
which is affecting Algeria does not fly
high. In order to keep out fresh arrivals
the citizens lost no time in surrounding
the entire town with a fence Of cotton
cloth about six feet high and over 5000
feet long.
AS soon as they had cutoff the sources
of reinforcements, every man, woman
and child began to devote exclusive at.
tention to the enemy within the walls.
Business was almost entirely suspended,
and lawyers, merchants, magistrates,
Jew bankers, laborers, Mohammedans
and Christians all wcn. eagerly to work
to kill crickets and save the gardens.
The insects were ki!i,! by ti,e hundreds
of thousands, and the h,ties os the slain
were swept into tho ii.er and carried
out of the city. The town had no ether
thought or business as long as there were
any crickets to be killed. At last the
enemy was completely vanquished, aad
the halfdestroyed gardens were sayed
from further injury. The wal, kept tht
town busy for nearly week.

there, 30 far as possible, the methods of
the cultivation of cotton in vogue

A Leaf From History.

Gen. Edward Ac Grady in his excellent
address on s'The peopling of The State.
read st Statesburg last month, it will be
remembered, referred to the massacre
the Hampton family suffered from the
Indians during the Revolutionary Was in
Spsrtanburg district.
The facts Of this event have, like much
of the history oi That period, been almost
entirely forgotten, and there is scarcely a
person h the. State who knows any
detailed information whatever about it.
Anthony Hampton, the father, with
his wife and daughter, Mrs. James lar
rison, and his sons, Preston, Edward and
Henry, moved to Spartanburg district
and settled on the Tiger River in 1774.
At the commencement of the troubles
between, the colonies and the mother
country il was matter of deep concern
to the people on the frontier OF South
Carolina that the Cherokee Indians should
not engage in the war. In order to secure
peace with them, Preston and. Henry
Hampton made them e visit, and formed
an acquaintance with their chiefs and
head men. But they had already been
seduced by the British Government, and
about the time that Sir Peter Parker
made. his memorable attack on Fort
MouItrie, in Charleston harbor, the saTa-
ges began their incersio1s on the frontier
Of the State.
A party Of Indians one day in July,
1776, approached the Hampton place,
and some of the leaders we're recognized
BY Preston, who went out to meet them,
thinking their errand was peaceful one.
AS he extended his hand to them in
friendly greeting, however, he was struck
down and killed, and the whole horde of
savages then set upon the plantation,
numbering Anthony Hampton, his wife
and little grandchild, the infant Of Mrs.
james Harrison, a lad named John
Bynnm was taken prisoner and adopted
into the tribe. He remained with them
for some time, but was restored under the
treaty of 1777.
Immediately sitter this massacre Col.
Andrew Williamson raised large body
of troops and marched into the Cherokee
country, burning several towns and villa
ges and taking ample revenge on the
tribe for their treachery. Henry Han p:
ton, who was an officer in the expedition,
killed with his own hand an Indian who
went into the. battle wearing coat which
had been taken from the dead body Of his
brother Preston at the time of the massa-
ere.
Edward Hampton, at the time OF the
massacre, was at Baylis Earle's on Paco.
,let, whose daughter he afterwards married
and in this way escaped. but he was
afterwards killed in the war by the Tories
He was a bold cavalier, and one Of the
best horsemen for his age in South Caro-.
lima.
Mrs. Harrison, who was an ancestor of
the present family in Anderson, was
absent on visit to a neighbor's house
when the massacre occurred, and returned
Just as the Indians left.
Gen. Wade Hampton, the famous old
Revolutionary officer, was in North Caro-.
lima when the attack was made. Ne,os
