VIII Happen When Mormonism
Overthrows the Government
Trouble In Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, August 9.-The Mormon
trouble in Wilson county has been settled
temporarily by the expulsion of one of the
most active of the proselyting elders.
The excitement, however, has by no means
snbsided, and the remaining elders
are threatened with coats of tar and
feathers If they, too, do not clear out.
The elder VINO was driven from the county
delivered an exordium Sunday. He told his
sympathizers that the Mormons owned the
country; that they were preparing to take
it by force, and that the church was organic
ing an army for that purpose and to punish
scoffers and non-believers with death. Said
he:
'The blood of Joseph Smith must be
avenged, and God commands us to over
throw this Government for its oppression of
the Saints. The great wine press Of his
wrath has not yet been trodden. We are to
tread it. and tread it we will until we have
pressed out the last drop of blood and the
national and personal existence of these &C
cursed people"
One of his proselytes became alarmed at
the excitement created in the Mormon COM
munity by these words, and reported them
to Rev. John Barrett. The latter repeated
them in the course of his sermon the same
night, and read letter from a lady in Ken
lucky, who had Joined the Mormon Church,
gone to Utah, become disguised with the
practices of the sect, apostatized and re-
turned to her home. She denounced Nor
4
and the priests and many of the laymen as
set of scoundrels.
As a result of Rev. Mr.. Barrett's vigor-
GUS denunciation the good citizens informed
the elder who preached revolution that he
must leave the community or expect the
same treatment resorted to in Lewis county
two years ago when several elders were
killed. The elder went to-day and will not
be permitted to return.

LEGITIMATE EXAGGERATI0N.
Illustrated By a Neat Story Of Charles Lamb
and q Bore.

and q Bore.
London Globe.l
Charles Lamb was wont to tell charm
ing story (of his own invention) about Cole
ridge. He chanced one day to meet the sage
of Highgate, who as usual seized him by
the button and burst into food of words.
Lamb, who was pressed for time, quietly cut
of the button, and resumed his way into
the CITY, Returning some hours after he
found Coleridge stationed on the self-eame
spot, with the button in his fingers, still
pouring forth the torrent of his speech.
This fable is, according to our view, a
model OF artistic and legitimate exaggera-
ton; it stamps. with the brevity which is
the soul of wit, more forcibly upon the
hearers mind than could the most elaborate
statement the figure of ''the old man elo-
quent, bursting with exuberance of thought
and language. and superlatively careless of
his hearer.

Culture of the Fig.

good deal OF interest seems, at pres
ent, to be springing up in the gulf coast
belt with reference to fig culture for rproft
1t appears to have been reused mainly by
Northern people who are settling among
us, and who, with their characteristic
farsightedness, are feeling sure that there
is money for them in the fig. Several we
know OF are already planning to plant
considerable fig orchards, and not few
letters have been received by us asking
for information relative to propagation,
culture and SO on. They say they pro-
pose growing the fig for preserving pur-
poses, and possibly for drying, and one
writer says he thinks he knows of a
method that will enable him to ship and
place green figs upon Northern markets.
We have long entertained the opinion
that there was much for the lower South
i'll the fig, but no talking or writing on
the subject has ever enabled us to get our.
people to thinking the same way. The
fig they have always had with them. IT
comes itself, soto speak, and takes care of
itself, therefore tits too common a thingto
amount to much, is the way they appear
to fix the matter up, and yet there are
hosts OF demonstrations, madein a small
way, that are amply qualified to knock
all the props from beneath their position.

Among these are experiments in drying
our figs, which have proved successful,
also in preserving them and finding
ready marketfor the preserves. Preserving
has been the most practiced. We now
know Of several families in Mobile county,
with a few fig trees on their places, who
preserve all the. fruit every year, land sell
it at home without the slightest trouble,
realizing good prices. Northern people
coming down in winter usually buy the
product to take home with them. The
goods are not put up after any style that.

we say. How much better if they were

ing to- rule by a regular preserving
factory! Thousands upon thousands of
jars so put up could be sold on almost
any Northern market-the novelty of the
thing, associated with their superior ex-
cellence, would undoubtedly always carry
them booming.
The fig does splendidly anywhere in
lower Alabama between the gulf shore
and the Black Prairies. 1t used to be
thought that the tenderer varieties could
not be made to succeed save on a narrow
belt Immediately along the gulf, but this
was mistake. They do better, if any

them in the neighborhood of the coast.
| In choosing a site for the fig orchard
near the coast, it is always best to make
choice of northern slope. On a south

stand a chance of being cut down by frost.

The fig may be readily propagated by

to get the cuttings ready. Take off small
twigs of last years wood, and bury them
in the ground six inches below the sur

are beginning to put out leaves, take up
the cuttings and set them, and they will
