Mass. has passed law forbidding
the docking of horses tails. We sup
pose this is partly because the new dock
bears a close resemblance to the square
"bang." But really where is this 60
ing TO end? IF we do not guard our
selves against the encroachments of the
law, we shall not be allowed to cut off
our cows tails or pull them out by the
roots, or do anything whereby we can
secure our comfort when milking. To
meet the demands of some of these fas-
tidious philanthropists, we shall not be
permitted to chop off our lambs tails,
nor our pigs tails, nor any other tails.
Some of these good people who legis-
late for us cannot understand without
close calculation how much hay and
grain it takes to keep lively tail in ac-
ton during hy-time. This is one of
the places where farmers need to econ
omize to make farming pay. If some
of our good friends in trying to be hui
name would not force humanity to sub
NIT to inhuman treatment from brutes,
to crafty an overweight sensitive
ness in perverted direction we should
have no occasion to recite tale like
this.

sirable and reasonable purchase. AL

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Sullivan and Kilrain had their fight
on Monday morning on Mississippi soil
and the authorities did not interfere and
the whole nation constituted the spec
tators. The Boston slugger won the
match. 1t was a shameful, brutal af-
rair but it afforded immense enjoyment
to large number of people built after
the same manner as these sluggers on
ly on a smaller scale.

The acquittal of Mellow, the muir
derer of Dawson furnishes a singular
Illustration of South Carolina Justice
That a married man could attempt the
seduction Of an innocent girl and then
when demonstrated with by her en-
ployer, murder him and attempt to con-
ceal the crime, narrowly escape lynch
ing. and when tried put in the plea OF
self-defence, and secure an acquittal, ,
and when acquitted treat the matter as
a mere trife, a little scandal that viii
soon blow over, receive the congratula-
tions of men and women in society, as
though he had been subjected to an un-
pleasant experience, and then take his
former place in the community and re-
sumo the practice of his profession fur
nishes a commentary on Southern ways
Of doing things in line with past record.
1t is surprising that some avenger of
Dawson has not arisen. The result Of
this trial has done immense damage to
South Carolina. Where human life is
held so cheap honest and prudent men
will not care to make their homes.

Work commenced on the Nicarau-
qua canal on the 3rd of June and is
progressing favorably. There has been
slight collision between Costa Rica
and Nicaragua, the former state as
serting that the canal shall never pass
through its territory. But thisis look
ed upon as a game of bluff, Costa Rica
being jealous of her larger neighbor.
Those Central American and Mexican
States are in condition of ferment a
good deal OF the time. They may an
noy the builders of the canal somewhat
at first, but when they discover that no
good can come of it they will probably
sit calmly by and allow the project to
go right along.

Col. Hooker is reported to have said
at Pomfret the other day, in substance
that no -four should be brought into the
State and that the farmers should live
on corn meal. We don't believe the
Col. said this, for however often he
may fall off his base he is clear-headed
enough to know that the best mothers
for the coming generation cannot be de-
veloped from corn-fed girls. We are
sorry the Col. has been so badly mis-
quoted, but we hope it will not injure
his gubernatorial prospects.

Of the most noted members that ever sat

o little blue book of his own that contains
information Of q peculiarly interesting
character, but which the old officer
steadily refuses to make public.
In this book are recorded the applica-
tons Of Senators for the desks of brother
members whom they expect to leave the
body. The publication of tue contents
might prove extremely embarrassing for
come Of the Senators who do not seem
TO regard highly the prospects of ~re-elec-
tion of some of their colleagues.
Capt. Bassett knows by peculiar private
marks he has placed upon them the iden-
tical desks used by Webster. Calhoun.
Clay, Benton. and other great statesmen.
These desks are still i'll use, but the
Captain keeps their location a profound
secret, as he does not want TO be overrun
with applications for them and worried
by visitors who want to see them.

FROM PLANTATION TO CITY.
Wonderful Mushroom Growth OF the

Wonderful Mushroom Growth of the
Town OF Shefaeld, in Alabama.
Five years ago there was no such place
as Sheffield. Ala. says the Atlanta ConsG-
tuition. The place where it now stands
was simply an old cotton plantation run
ming back from the great rock bluffs
overlooking the broad Tennessee.
1t had been the plantation Of n rich old
a~ristocrat, who twenty-five yeaIs ago
owned four or FIVE hundred negroes and
nearly that many mules.
There were some twelve thousand acres
in the plantation. and 1--WE years ago,
when q party Of Southern men. who saw
millions in it," purchased the land for
a consideration Of about S25. 0OO, there
still remained the old homestead and the
negro quarters. That was all.
To-day Sheffield is the prettiest little
city in tho Southland. There are six or
seven thousand people there, and a con
siderable number OF them are living in
as handsome modern houses as the South
can boast of.

Yet sucn is the case.
One is almost inclined 20 doubt the

TO make a living from their sales. so
much greater does the supply seem TO 10
than ,he demand. A reporter expressed
Lis surprise recently 10 n friend at the

No. see no WAY except that some
