Safe Burial of Bowlders.

Having buried many large stones,
affirm that the dangers incurred is
very slight if the work is attempted in
the right manner. Do not dig under
it at all. Keep the excavation about
six inches from the nearest side of the
stone. Make it long enough, wide
enough and deep enough to contain the
stone with room TO spare. When the
hole is dug, then with long-handled
tools carefully remove the six-inch
shell of earth as low as you can reach
easily without taking any risk OF being
crushed. A plank laid along the further
edge of the hole may give you some
advantage in digging. Next dig mar
row trench along the opposite side OF
the stone from the excavation. Make
this trench close to the stone and part
ly under it. Now pour water into the
trench, and keep on pouring until the
earth underneath is softened into mud,
when the stone can usually be slid
without much trouble into the hole,
A lever can be used to give it u start.

DISABLED ANIMALS.
The Danger OF Allowing UnskilIod "Cov
Doctors" to Treat Them.

Doctors" to Treat Thcm.
Even on the best regulated farms,
when all due care is exercised, animal,
will get sick and disabled. In sucf
cases 1t Is best, when practicable, u
call in skilled veterinary surgeon al
once. BY prompt and skillful atten
tion an injury may often be repaired
and an animals usefulness preserved,
or simple ailment may he prevented
from growing into something more
serious, so that the extra expense is
usually IL saving in the end. In the alb
sence Of a veterinarian, the family ply
sician may sometimes be pressed into
service. He will often do quite as we'll
as II "vet' when willing to act in this
capacity. Some farmers are quite sue
cessful in treating the simple ailments of
their stock themselves. These are
men who have made an intelligent
study of the structure and habits of the
animals in their care and when symp-
toms of functional disturbance pre-
sent themselves they can make a
pretty correct diagnosis of the case and
get at the root of the difficulty. As a
rule, however, the way in which sick
and disabled animals are dosed and
treated, in the absence of competent
medical skill, by their well-meaning
owners and the local ''horse DOCTOR"
is simply atrocious. We have known
a man to bore half inch auger hole
clear through the skull of a muley cow
as a remedy for what he called "hollow
horn" 1t is scarcely necessary to eX-
plain that the COW died.
In another case an ignorant fellow,
who treated most of the sick animals
in his neighborhood, poured pound
OF quicksilver down horse as remedy
for collie. The dose ruptured the poor
horses stomach and he was soon re-
lieved from his sufferings. Turpentine
poured into cows ears is common
If the poor COW shakes her head it is
doing her good. Cayenne pepper is
used in the same way. The actions of
the animal testify to the excruciating
suffering caused by the application of
such fiery substances to an extremely
sensitive surface. In fact IL sick animal
is often more danger from the doctor
ing" of some ignorant quack or its
thoughtless owner than from the dis
case which the treatment is aimed at.
There are quacks among veterinarians
as well as among family physicians,
and unless man can show a diploma
from reliable veterinary college it is,
as q rule, safer to trust the case to
nature than to have any thing to do
with him. Don't waste time and add to
au animals sufferings by administering
heroic remedies for such mythical dis
eases as "hollow horn" "wolf-tail," =" etc.
If a cows horns are cold boring them
and blowing pepper into the holes will
not cure her OF the Indigestion which
is probably at the bottom of the whole
difficulty. If good medical skill is not
within reach and unless you are cer-
tain you know what ails an animal and
can treat it intelligently, it is better to
rely upon good nursing and let RENE
dies alone. Philadelphia Press.

SUNDAY IN LONDON.
The Sharpness of Contrasts I'm Metropo

| The Sharpness of Contrasts I'm Metropoli-
tan Life vividiy Realized.
If one wants to realize the real sharp
ness of contrasts in London, where
horrible slums are side by side with
wealthy squares, and where the beggar
and millionaire tread the same pave
ments, one can not see it better than
by walking very few steps from the
well-dressed, middle-class decorum
assembled in st. Georges Church,
Bloomsbury, or the fine drawn intel
lectualism of Mr.. Stopford Brooke at
Bedford chapel, into Seven Dials, on
any Sunday morning. 1t is really u
matter of some difficulty to pass along
Neal street or little Earl street, so
crowded is the whole roadway with
costermongers and Cheap Jacks bar
rows. Every one of the little poverty
stricken, grimy shops is open, and the
whole scene is more busy than it is on
any other day of the week. The sight
is one to freeze the heart of strict
Sabbatarian, but more than that, it is
truly dreadful picture Of the real con-
dition of life in west central London.
stood for some time in the doorway
of one of the sickeningly odoriferous
butcher shops, where loathing scraps
of trimmings of bone, fat and skin were
sold at two pence pound. A tall,
gaunt woman came and looked them
over, but the butcher said: mo pick
ing; yer takes as they comes with
them, missus!" "Well," she answered.
"then yer might let me have two
pounds for three pence half-penny."
Cant" was the vender's prompt and
laconic reply, and the woman turned
away; but she stood by the barrow of
potato dealer till his back was turned,
and furtively appropriated first one
and then another of his tubers.
Not only were the evidences of pow
erty something appalling in this Sun
day fair, but the looks of utter degrad-
alton of soul and body in the majority
were truly lamentable. Angry words,
and an occasional blow even, occurred;

rags; girls who had lost the feminine
pride OF vanity which leads them to
bestow thought upon their personal
appearance, strong. middle-aged men
whose love of drink was apparent;
mothers with babies in their arms, but
who looked old and careworn enough
to be grandmothers, these prevailed in
the crowd. And the noise and the
hustle, the tumult and bargaining, lasts
till about 1880, when things resume
more weekday like tranquility. But
one passes out into Shaftesbury avenue
aud sees the conventional and well-to-

one realizes that in London of all places

Anscdotes Showing That It's Full OF Pit
falls for Unlenrned Men.
In some cases it becomes painfully
clear that the contracting parties
recognize but few of the words they
are hidden to say, and merely initiate
the sound with such accuracy as their
imperfect knowledge will permit. Tho
words Ito have and to hold" ought to
be simple enough, but, as matter OF
fact. they are the subjects of some
astounding blunders. / remember one
bridegroom who had brought a very
charming young bride to church, and
perhaps regarded her as thing of
beauty to be in his home a JOY forever,
rendering ''to have and to hold'' as ito
have and behold" Another, who pos
sibly had some cause to dread the fate
of Mr.. Caudle, struck out an entirely
new version, and faithfully promised
''to have and be told" "To love and
to cherish" Is another frightful stum-
bling block. ITO love and be cherries
was the nearest to the original of many
variations popular amongst the males
of that parish. The brides were happy
with the familiar rendering ''to love
cherries and to bay" Goods holy
ordinance" tripped up many. "Holy
orders was convenient, and per-
haps conveyed the most meaning.
"Plight thee my troth" and "give thee
my troth" were, imagine, words Of
foreign sound, and / well remember
one young person, who was wedding a
most Misunderstanding fellow, chang
ing her statement into "theretO give
thee my throat" There was, per-
haps. an unconscious prophecy wrapped
up in that promise. - CornhiN Maga-

Lincoln's First and Second
Choice for Governor.

A reporter of the LEADER wrote
out the following list of gentlemen
who have been most prominently men
toned in connection with the nominal
tion for Governor, aud polled nearly
all of the Democrats in town attend
ing Court last Monday for the pur-
pose of learning their first and sec
ond choice: Judge J. b. Chrisman,
Ex-Gov. J. VI. Stone, Major +. Banks
dale, Gov. :. d. Lee, Gov. I. s.
Ford, Gov. w. s. Featherston, and
Hon II. II. Taylor.
OF the large number mentioned, an
overwhelming majority were for Chris
man for first choice, and for Stone rs
second. In fact, Stones strength on
second choice stood in almost the ex-
act proportion of Chrisman's for first.
For first choice, Stone and Barksdale
received exactly the same vote; but
Stones majority over Barksdale as
the second choice of the entire list
was six to one. AS second choices:
Major Barksdale and Gen. Lee showed
about the same strength, and there
were only Il few scattering votes for
Gems. Ford, and Featherston, and
Col. Taylor, for either first or second
choice, while a few more were found
have preference for Gen. West.
Judge Chrisman was seen III the
evening and the result of the poll re-
ferrcd to. and he said that while the
choice thus expressed was very graft
fying to him he had never been
a candidate for Governor aud did not
expect to he. THAT being the case"
replied the reporter" Ex-Gov. Stone,
who is an avOwed candidate, will car
ry Lincoln by an overwhelming ma
jorIty, if the poll | have taken signi-
fes any thing"

jackson to Have Bagging
Factory.

JACKSON, March 29.-About fifty del 8.
legates representing alliances of TWEEN
ty-fve counties met in the Senate
chamber to-day to discuss plans look
ing to the establishment of one or
more bagging factories in the State.
r. Il. Love was called to the chair
and C. Il. Smithson elected secretary
After good deal of discussion the
meeting visited the penitentiary and
examined the building belonging to
the same, known as the factory build
ing, which the Board of Control of the
penitentiary proposes to lease for the
purpose.
DR.. p. w. Peoples, on the part OF
the Board of Trade of Jackson, offer
ed to render all assistance in its pow
er and to subscribe for any amount
of stock that remained untaken.
At the afternoon session a resolu-
ton was adopted to establish bag.
ging factory in this city, and com.
mittee was appointed to confer with
the Penitentiary Board of Control to
morrow and ascertain on what termt
the factory building belonging to tn,
penitentiary and the machinery per
tanning to same could be leased unit
Jan. l, 1890, the same after that dat,
being under the control of the Legis
lature. The Board of Control is very
anxious to lease the buildings and ma.
chinery and cOnvicts to work in tn,
factory after the same is established
The meeting is favorably impressed
with the scheme, and it is very pro
bable satisfactory arrangements will
be made. Considerable stock in thu
enterprise has already been taken
and the remainder can he disposed
of without trouble. The raw materia
to be used in the manufacture of the
bagging has not yet been determined
on, but it will either be pine straw OF
cotton. The meeting will not adjourn
until O-mOrrow.-Iimes- DemOcra

Circuit Court.

Circuit Court convened last Mon
dag AS per appointment. Messrs. John
Storm, Prentiss Buie, Randall FUR,
and Staten Baker, were excused from
service as grand Jurors aud the rest
of the jury sworn in, to which Judge
Chrisman delivered an unusually clear
and forcible charge. The jury which,,
as 1t stands, contains only sixteen
members, is one of the best ever en-
paneled in the County, and If they do
not make law breakers of all classes
hump themselves, we are mistaken.
Mr.. Frank Greer. of Beat 3, was ap-
pointed foreman, and Mr.. Gus Max
well, bailiff.
BY request of District Attorney
McLain, who wished to assist the
grand jury all he could, the State
docket was set for tomorrow. The
Civil docket was then taken up and
one or two cases tried, when the petit
Jurors were discharged until yester-
day.
The docket is very light considering
it has been over year since Court
was held in the county, and Judge
Chrisman is confident In finishing all
of the business up within the pre-
scribed limit of two weeks.

Our New Contemporary.

The first issue of the Radiator un-
der the management of our Iowa
friend, DR.. N. S. Craig, made it's ap-
pearance last Thursday, and its solid
tone, sprightly and enterprising air,
wasdecidedly gratifying to the many
friends of the new editor and pro-
prietor. The future policy of the pa
per is thus set forth in a well-consid-
cred saIutatory:
The futherance of all honorable
enterprises tending to promote the
welfare of this city and county shall
be sought after. With the confident
hope of persuading SOME of the many
worthy people of the Northern
States, who are inquiring for and
seeking cOngenial homes in a milder
climate, the advantages, capabilities
and attractions of this favored local
ity shall be prominently presented.
Necessary and desirable improve
ments in city and country will be sug
gested and advocated from time to
time. While the paper will have
opinions of it's own, it is not the organ
of any political party or faction and
will be independent and untramelled
i'm its utterances. 1t shall ever be its
aim to be found on the side of right,
truth and justice, to be upright and
honorable in its treatment of friend
and foe.
We hope to see all classes Of our
people give the new management a
cordial and liberal support. Or. Craig
has the ear and confidence of that
very desirable and better class of
Western immigration that this section
is seeking, and if sustained by prop
er local support, can do more toward
attracting settlers and capital from
the West than native Mississippian.
The LEADER welcomes him as a CO.
laborer in building up the moral. So
cial and material interests ofour town
and coarty.
Or. Craig also gives notice that the
paper viii soon be improved and the
Old name probably changed.
