Riot at an Execution,

At Morgan, Calhoun county, Ga, Wednesday
crowd of seven thousand people, mostly
negroes. gathered to witness the execution of
Polk Newton, negro murderer. Interference
by the governor, however, prevented the exc
cution, but the crowd fingered in the town and
there was much drinking. In the afternoon a
riot took place, in which the race lines were
pretty strictly drawn. 1t was caused by a
drunken negro striking a white child and the
attempts of the town officers to arrest him. A
great number of shots were fired, with the
result that one white man was fatally wounded
and three others seriously The crowd dis
persed and it is not known how many negroes
were injured. but none were killed

Charleston, eight bishops being present. The
only business of interest transacted was the Sc

action of the conference, which had appointed
Selma, Ala, as the place, the objection to
Selma being on account of race prejudices.

THE CoNsERvAToRY's FUTURE
"What do you think are the prospects for the
conservatory's future?' asked the reporter.
''What is to be done has been clearly marked
out for us in the great national Conservatives
of Vienna, Berlin, Leipsic, Brussels, Paris &c.
There Is no reason why our own should be in
ferior to any OF these. The question of the
future is simply one of funds and how they
may be best secured i'll order to obtain that
permanent income without which the most
worthy institution can have no stability
venture to think that when it is known that a
work is In progress the object OF which is to
provide every native-born American whose
gifts may command it with the teaching that
shall render those gifts fortune to their own
ers and an honor to the land the day will not
be far distant when the generous advocacy of a
cause SO clearly in the interest of all to further
will receive due recognition in the thanks of a
grateful people.
1T now rests with the public to decide
whether the nations need shall be worthily
recognized by the peoples generosity, and
most earnestly ask the consideration of pa.
triotic Americans for work upon the perma.

must depend"

sAYING SEED CORN.

There Is no better practice on the farm
than that of saving seed corn in the early
part of autumn. Great loss and vexation
are avoided thereby, and the wonder is
that so many farmers still refuse to avail
themselves of this investment, which al
ways Yields a profit of hundred to a
thousand per cent. The method is so
simple and easy that all may partake
thereof. In this latitude, corn begins to
ripen about the first of September. All
things considered, the earliest ears are
the best ones to select and save; go
through and examine the earliest that are
maturing, having in view well-developed
cars, medium sized grains, and bright
ness of color. In selecting yellow corn,
choose COLDER colored cars; for these
possess characteristics of oilness and hard
ness as we'll as that of beauty. Remove
all Of the shuck except enough to suspend
by, and then the ears are hung in high
and dry place and allowed to remain
there until wanted. have never known
seed to fail when gathered and cared for
in this way, even when the temperature
went down to thirty degrees below zero.

Makushian and Shisilden and also Aku-

On Ship island thousands Of birds

Life Amonu Hudson Bay Indians.

No tent was carried even in the coolest
weather, and it was often forty degrees
below, with snow five feet deep. A hole
was dug down in the snow with a snow
shoe, which makes an elegant snow
shovel Some poles were then slanted
over the hole, thrust into the snow on
the sides; against the poles boughs were
piled and the loose snow was heaped
over these. A warm hut was thus made
at the bottom of which the ire was made.
We usually put the dogs back of us in
the hut and that kept us warmer. We
always carried an'extra dog along to re-
place any one that might be crippled in
one of the numerous fights they were al
ways having. The log houses of that
country had floors made of puncheons
and the hinges on the doors were made
OF rawhide. The logs were usually OF
spruce and the chinking was made OF
moss and mud The chimney was built
inside of a frame Of four poles. A hay
rope, covered thick with mud was wound
round aud round and the chimney built
up in this way. 1t dried very hard and
made very good chimney. We had no
brick and very little iron.
The Indians of that country lived
through the winter in bark tepees with
little clothing beyond blanket, breech-
clout and leggins. l have seen Indian
children playing in the snow bare-footed
and bare-legged, and they seemed happy,
and with the thermometer forty degrees
below zero. The squaws carried their
babies in a sort of bark packing basket,
with a hoop across the face to save the
babys nose in case of trouble.
They packed the baby in it with
three or four inches of moss
around its blanket, aud once in it was
liable to stay in for three or four days.
The Indian women were usually short
and uncomely. These squaws used to
make peculiar sort of blanket, very
warm. They cut rabbit skins into long
strips and then wove them together just
as one would bottom cane seat chair.
This made fur fabric two or three
inches thick, but it was not very pleasant

Western friends. The occasion for the
presentation grew out of the Senator s re-

friends, in a spirit of humor and friend

which contained in the handle a CON-

pressure of the thumb releases nickel

PAVING CHANNELS.

It is impossible to rid ourselves of
water courses where the inclines Of the
land meet. On hillsides we may lessen
Outlying by stopping some channels as
soon as they are made. But we must
have some channels, for the water will
flow off the land. 1t is idle to stop
streams, for the alter will make another
way for itself and the loss of soil will be
greater than if nothing had been done.
Wise measures consist in closing unneces-
sary channels, and in so managing the
Others that the loss Of soil and the incon-
venience in cultivation will be the least
possible. Where the amount of water
to be carried off is not large, and the in-
cline is not sharp, the deepening or
widening Of the channel can be prevented
by seeding it to grass and leaving the
grass when the field Is put in cultivated
crops 1t may be necessary to raise the
channel somewhat first, which can be
done by putting in occasional dams Of
brush, stumps, or stones, to catch the
"wash." The channel should be no
deeper than is necessary to carry off the
water, that the difficulty of crossing with
teams and implements may be reduced to
the minimum. Where stones are abund-
ant it will be profitable to pave the
streams which are too large to be con-
troled by grass. If this work at first
sight seems labOrious, it is we'll to reflect
that it need not all be done in a day, a
week, or year. We have in mind sew.
eral farms of which some fields are so
stony that the land must be kept clear
for cultivation, while in other fields
streams cut through a loose soil so deep
that they cannot be crossed by a mower
or grain drill. These channels could be
.aised and then paved with the stones
from the other fields, and, if the work
was done with reasonable care, it would

psursdatIcns by Wild Beasts in Texas.

The loss of live stock in Texas by de-
predations Of wild animals is enormous,
and the evil is growing. Indeed, in
many localities this loss is so discourag-
ing that some fockmasters are selling
their focks, while many others seriously
contemplate the abandonment Of their
business unless some relief shall be az
forded them. While the loss falls heaviest
upon owners Of sheep, goats and poultry,
cattle and horse owners admit that their
loss of calves and colts is quite heavy
Figuring the loss Of sheep and goats
alone at the lowest estimate, three per
cent would give an annual loss Of at least
s4OO, 900. To this add the loss Of colts,
calves and poultry, and the aggregate
loss would fall little, if any. short OF
