We desire to call the attention OF Cot on
Planters throughout the South, well as
the shippers of Hay, to the following facts,
which we sincerely believe viii pay YOU To
carefully peruse and consider before you in
vest your money in a PRESS.
We claim for Taylor IreSs the fol
lowing qualifications superior to any otile,
now on the market:
l 1t works by Lever Power without fric-
tlOn, to perfection
2. 1t will pack Il bale of cotton in less time
and with more ease than any other Press
manufactured.
B. 1t will with two ordinary hands, pack
a bale of cotton in = minutes.
f. In much as there is absolutely no
friction from the ropes, pulleys, chains, &c,
1t Will cost nothing TO keep the press in re
pair and requires no Oil for fabrication.
For simplicity in construction and opera
ton, as well as for durability, it cannot be
eXcelled. This is a Press which, owing TO
the facts above stated, does not require the
addition Of steam power. For reasons al
ready mentioned it is not liable to get out
of order.
This Press was patented in 1853, and this
is the fourth season it has been in use !
desire to extend my sincere thanks to the
public for their very liberal patronage, and
with several important improvements and
superior facilities for manufacturing them,
| hope to merit and receive their continued
patronage. l will also state that the ratch-
cts Of those presses heretofore made of cast
iron are now made of the very best wrought
iron, and with reasonable use warrant and
guarantee the Taylor Press III every partic-
ular. For further particulars | refer to the

Bicycles.


The supreme court Of Indiana was called
upon to review q non-suit in a N action brought
to recover damages for being struck down ON
sidewalk by a bicycle rider. The trial court
had held that bicycling was Q form of pedes-
tianating, and that the bicyclers had -
much right on the sidewalk as any pedestrian.
The appeal from the non-suit was argued in
the forenoon. When tho court adjourned for
dinner, Judges Coffey and Berkshire started
to walk to their hotel, and az they were pass
ing out Of the capitol grounds a clumsy b.
cycle rider ran into them, knocking both
down and badly bruising the former. This
practical argument had such q convincing
e1ect on the minds of the learned judges that
they immediately overruled their unrendered
deoisSou and fled an opinion setting forth
that . person who ''rudely and ~recklessly"
r1des Q bicycle against q man standing on q
atdswalk II responsible for damages for as
satt and battery.
After quoting an Indiana Law forbidding
persons from riding or driving on the sde-
walks, the court says: If sidewalks are Ok
olusively for the use Of footmen, then bicycles,
II they are vehicles, must not be ridden along
thsm, Gnce to affirm that sidewalks are ex-
caudvely for the use of footmen necessarily
implies that they cannot be Travelled by hcy-
cles It would be q palpable contradiction to
affirm that footmen have the exclusive right
to use the sidewalks and yet concede that
persons not travelling as pedestrians may also
r~iehtfully use them. We think, however,
that a bicycle must be regarded as q vehicle
within the meaning Of the law. New York

Ventilation.

" tenGll8C1Ous
Perhaps few who nave heard of the ''Black
Hole Of Calcutta" know the terrible facts
that nave rendered the place famous and
made it the synonym Of all that is to be
dreaded from foul air and overcrowding.
At 8 o'clock on the evening Of June 20,
l758, l46 prisoners, officers and men, black
and white, and Of different n~ationalities,
were thrust into a room eighteen feet square
with two windows on one of the four sides.
heavily barred with iron-giving to each in.
nate forty cubic feet of space. In ten hours
l2S were found dead-only t~wenty-three
being alivel -..."
Another instance is where, IN l742, the high
constable of Westminster London, committed
twenty-eight persons to prison, where they
were thrust by the keeper into a hole six feet
square and five feet ten inches high-the win
dows being close shut. In a very short time
four Of the inmates were suffocated. These
facts show the poisonous effects of the human
breath-or Of respired air. Professor Brown
Sequard has recently made some experiments
that are not only highly interesting, but show
why the expired air Of man and animals is
80 deadly. From the condensed vapor Of the
expired air he produced q liquid so poisonous
that when injected beneath the skin Of rab-
bits it produced Almost instant death. This
poison he found to be not a microbe, but an
alkaloid. His conclusions are that the ex-
pired air Of all animals contains a poison
more fatal than carbonic acid. t@@a
It is well for the people to understand these
facts. They cry aloud for better ventilation
and purer air-for less crowding in home and
church, and hall and SCHOOL room.-Board

A Snake Forty-seyen Feet Ix

A Snake FOrty-seven Feet Long.
A few whispered words notified half the
party to aim at his head and the other half
ct the central part of his body. n
The second volley produced the desired ef-
feet. The colossal snake leaped wholly out Of
the pool, and with a few terrible convulsions,
In which he dashed the water and the floor Of
the cavern, he sank quivering to the ground,
. third volley for a quietus insuring his GER
tain death. This fact was then made sure
of, and the caves were soon invaded by the
pursuers. " 80.
The monster was dragged out into the level
and found to measure forty-seven feet, the
thickest part Of his body having a diameter
of two feet six inches. In color he was yell
low in the upper part of his body, dark above,
with dark rings encircling the body, between
which semi-lunar gray disks served as spots
TO variegate the skin. +
He was opened by the machetas of some
cocoa primers, under the direction Of Mr..
Mccarthy. In him there were found the
half digested body Of q deer and q number of
forma pauperis forms, probably swallowed
by him with the body of some unknown and
unfortunate cocoa contractor.
By $50 p m. the joyful ~concourse, drag.
ging the monster, reached Arina, where the
necessary steps were taken to preserve the
carcass for display in the council hall Of Port
Of Spain. The exciting occurrences connect-
ed with the monster are still the subject of
general discussion and gossip. The island
has not for a long time been disturbed by
tragic incidents Of this extraordinary nature.

Pasta's Servant.

People who have seen so much of the world,
and especially those who have participated .
great deal in it's fashion and frivolity, often
carry their simplicity Of life, if they retire
from the active world, to the point Of affec-
tation.
The famous singer, Mime. Pasta, in her later
years lived very obscurely in q villa ON Lake
Como, in Italy. One day Nine. Alboni, an
other singer, who had just made her appear
ance, paid a visit Of respect to Pasta In her
Lake Como villa. She was met at the door
by a wretched serving woman old. unkempt,
frowsy and badly dressed.
"Can l see Signora Pastai' the visitor in
quired.
I'm a few minutes, If o will wait" said
the servant, conducting her to the parlor.
, In q short time Signora Pasta made her ap-
p~earance, and the visitor recognized in her,
with no little astonishment, the same un-
kempt servant woman who had just admitted
her, though somewhat ''spruced up in ap-
pearance. In fact, Alboni's astonishment
was so great that she could not help showing
It in her face.

she can be to an attentive husband, and q
more exceptional one will not be very dis

who, having bound q woman to him, made no
effort to make her happy; hard not to love
one who was constant and tender; and when
q woman loves she always tries to please. The
great men of this world have often been
wretched in their domestic relations, while
mean and common men have been exceedingly
happy. r Iva 49,
The reason Is very plain. Absorbed In
themselves, those who desire the worlds ap-
plause were careless Of the little world at
home, while those who had nom of that

Iattie Prairie Don.

Maj. Benteen, who d spending his retire
ment in Atlanta, was one Of the bravest from.
tier officers, and led part Of the Custer expo
dition, which ended 20 fatally he Il a great

"Not a blade Of grass viii grow" said he's
where a prairie dog takes up his abode.
1.-THE prairie dog lives in burrows The
burrows run down to a depth OF i've or SIX
feet, then they turn upward running near
the surface Of the ground for several feet
The reason they make this turn in the bur
rows IL to prevent water from drowning
them out, and to take moro precautions they
work the dirt up around the mouth Of their
burrows to the height Of a foot. sometimes
more. ts.
s'There are q great many mistakes concern
ing the habits OF these ingenious little ami
mails. Some claim that II one Is shot near
his burrow he will crawl back into his bur
row before he dies, but that Is all q mistake.
I have shot them while they would be IN the
mouth Of their burrow and then took them
out. Some think that a prairie dog enters
his burrow at the coming Of winter and re-
mains there until spring calls him forth, but
that Is another mistake. | have seen them
walking in the snow hunting for something
to eat They live on grasses and roots and
prickly pear, or cactus, US it Is called BY some.
"The prairie dog is about the size of q fox
squirrel, and Is almost the color of one. They
are very destructive to cropa The farmers
poison thousands of them, but it seems as il
the old adage of killing one fly ten win take
his place, has reference to the prairie dog.
Another tale is told OF the prairie dog-that
the rattlesnake, the prairie owl and the
prairie dog all live in the same burrow, but
that is the greatest mistake of all. The owl
and the rattlesnake do live in the towns, or
rather the rattlesnake dies in the prairie dog
town, for no sooner does he enter a burrow
than the dogs collect and filing
up the burrow, and il the RATHER has gone
too far to hear them HIS doom is sealed, but
IL he is near the mouth of the burrow he will
come out as soon as possible. When the owl
takes up his abode in a burrow the dog leaves
it and goes to another burrow. They never
try to fill up a burrow when IN owl goes in,
probably because they think there is not so
much harm in an owl as there is in a rattle
snake. Atlanta Constitution.
