Mob Politics.

MONTGOMERY (Ala., March 14.-The biggest political sensation of the day in Alabama has developed in the Fourth Congressional district. At the last election Lewis w. Turpin Demo- crat) was declared elected A notice of contest was filed by J. L. McDuffic, the Republican nominee. The taking of testimony began several days ago, and McDuffie went to Wilcox county for that purpose. After remaining in Camden, the county seat, for day, he was waited upon by masked band of the most desperate men in the county, who told him if he did not leave the county in forty-eight hours he would suffer violence. The men claimed to represent the Democratic Executive Committee. McDufiie told them he would leave as ordered.
 Before the expiration of the forty citizens of Wilcox held a mass meet ing and passed resolutions that the action of the desperate characters was not sanctioned by the Executive Com mittee or the white people of the cOun- ty. McDuf1ie asked them if they would guarantee him against injury, Being told that they would not, not deeming it necessary or expedicnt, he left and 1 has not since been back.
 The matter has become generally known throughout the State. The Republicans say they will lay the mat ter before the next Congress and then expect it will give McDufiie the coun-
 ty of Wilcox by the figures which they claim are correct.

Manager W. s. Lyle went up to the Silver King mine last week and re- turned Wednesday. He has ordered some important changes to be made in the workings at the mine. The air compresso-s for working the Burleigh drills will be entirely dispensed with, effecting saving in wood alone of seventy dollars per day. It is found that a better headway is made by the miners with hammer and drill in the soft rock than with the Burleigh drills, with quite saving in powder. An engine vii! be put at the 9SO level for hoisting purposes. About twenty seven men are now employed in the mine and the development of large bodies of good ore is believed to be only question of short time, and the miners are nearly all confident that the Silver King will eventually resume it's position as one of the best dividend payers of the territory.

Examines of Good Farming.

Tho practical teaching of farming
must be by example. Theorizing on
agricultural matters has its place; but
the proof of theories lies in their sue
cessful application. And as farming
is a business, conducted like other pur-
suits for the purpose OF making money,
if the teaching is to have much practi-
cal effect it must be shown to average
farmers that the new methods which
teachers of farming recommend are
able to and do give greater profit than
their own. 1t is not enough TO show
that with unlimited money certain inn
provements can be made. Almost
anything can be done If plenty OF
money is furnished. In fact, the prod
igality with which money is used in
some experiments by wealthy men,
farming for their amusement, has
doubtless repealed rather than attract
ed imitation.
1t is well doubtless that much care
be given to the common methods oil
farming which have found favor in any
neighborhood. Doubtless much i'm
provement can be made by an in
telligent man who fully understands
the why's and wherefores of the com.
mon ways of doing things; but we pre-
sumo that little practical Improvement
will be made unless these are first
understood. Whenever teacher be.

Slow Promotions.

A suggestive fact connected with the
new Army Register is that 1t shows no
fewer than ninety-six first .lieutenants
on the active list who have service in
civil war to their credit. The rank
and pay of first lieutenant are not an
enormous remuneration for the length
and value of the service whic h some OF
these officers have rendered. The re-
tired list shows also thirty-eie hit first
tieutenants who have seen war service
and while the causes OF retirement
have been various, yet they Include
some compulsory retirements for age
Only a year or two ago occurred Ihe
retirement of a first lieutenant at the
age of GA. OF course these exceptional
cases result from the fact that some
volunteer officers received commissions
in the regular army after the war when
already some considerably advanced in
wears, and also non-commissioned OH

That Little Island.
The scene Of Napoleons landing at
Porto Ferraio was curious one. He
had taken tho municipality by surprise,
SO that the proposed decorations end

Eighty pounds sterling had been voted
for these preparations, and the council
had also decreed that fl0 should be
expended In the purchase OF suitable
furniture for the palace wnicn was set
dpaft for him. But, il their means
were small, the Etbans' hearts were
warm. Napoleon was met ON the mole
by tho mayor and corporation, the
ticarid, and other clergy.
The people crowded around the
harbor and waved bunting from their
win lows. The keys of the city We're
offered him in silver dish by the
mayor. He did not touch them with
his fingers. His troops then escorted
him through the little piazza of white
houses with green jalousies, now
known as Fl zza Cavour. into the
adjacent piazza (Vittorio Emanuele)
by one side of which is the plain little
cathedral of the city. Here Te Detim
was sung with enthusiasm. Napoleon
stood throughout the function, with
bent knees and far-away look. He
was afterward presented with a map OF
the island. Then he lunched, mounted
his white horse Tibertiti, and rode out
of the battlemented little town to see
something Of this residue of this great
empire.
The vicario's vision of the opulence
that was to come upon Elba with the
emperor was Elusive. The revenue of
the island, all told, was only 3S7 ,OOO
francs. Of this, is soon as the figures
were before him, Napoleon devoted
2OO, 900 francs to public works, such as
roads and Notifications. The balance
was little enough for the maintenance
of u court and several hundred soldiers
of the old guard who had followed him
into exile. BY the treaty of Fontaine-
bleau an annual allowance of 1000, DOC
francs was allowed to him. But he re.
teived not franc of this, and had he
not carried with him d sum OF 3,4OO, 0OO
