THE shooting and killing of Geo.
Smith, dredger, by one of the crew
of the oyster police schooner Daisy
Archer, Capt. Hartge in command,
in the fracas on Tuesday, was a
mere accident and one of those un-
fortunate occurrences that could not
well have been avoided under the
circumstances. When men engage
in such unlawful acts, they take the
consequence in their own hand
and often the innocent are made to
suffer the penalty of the guilty. We
are sure from the evidence in the
case, that it was not an act of
intention, and no one regrets the
unfortunate occurrence more than
the Commander of the oyster navy
himself, who is giving the matter
his personal investigation, and says
that he regrets it more than any
man in the State. Itwas his ambi-
ton, be says, to avoid the taking of
human life while in command of the
oyster State fishery force. Gen. Seth
closely questioned Capt. Hartge and
his crew regarding the killing and
directed them to appear at the in
quest in Baltimore city this even.
ing. 1t is one of the many lessons
that is constantly being taught this
class of yiola'ors of the law. They
know the law and the consequence
that follow. and when violated they
should suffer the penalty.

The discussion of better roads has
been going on all over the country
and we hope the incoming legisla-
ture OF our State will take hold
OF the matter in a wise and states
manship manner and give us laws
that will accomplish something for
Maryland. The trouble is that We
have TOO naayPu6lic rOads Two or
three roads leading from our north
ern limits to Calvert county, and as
many across the county running
esst and west, are as many
as the county should main
tain. Other roads leading to few
farms not on the line of these pub
lie roads should be deemed private
roads and their maintenance should
be in the keeping of the owners of
the farms with such safeguards as
would secure their proper repairs
and good order. Persons skilled in
road building should be employed
by the county commissioners. and
their duty should be to take care
that county roads should be kept in
good repair, and exercise supervi-
for over the local roads leading
from these county roads. Such a
system or one of similar import
would soon enhance the value of our
r,al estate and induce immigration
from other States to settle amongst
us. A few advanced agricultuIists

would have strong tendency to i'm

WHOSE Ok WAS GoRED?-The theft
of Montana, Connecticut aud New
Hampshire are recent events, SAYS
the SIN. but they seem to be forgot
ten by some of the New York pa
pars when commenting on the re-
count of votes by which the demo-
Gratis gain State Senator. These
papers assume that the republican
candidate was elected, and on that
assumption denounce the democrats
for wrong-doing. If the demo
Gratis have deprived a lawfully cleo
ted man of his office they have GER
talnly. in our opinion, done wrong.
But in the opinion of the partisan
republican press of New York, de-
priving lawfully-elected men of their
Offices was not wrong last year. 1t
was then considered perfectly right
to keep the democratic Governor of
Connecticut out of his Office, to de-
prlve the New Hampshire democrats
of control of the Legislature, and to
steal the Legislature and two Sena-
tor in Montana. A question sug-
gests itself: If the partisan republi-
can press was so blinded by party
feeling last year as not to know po-
litical wrong doing when they saw
it is their vision accurate now!
Much depends on whose OK is gored.

Business VS.. Philanthropy.

The most thankless task a man
can attempt is to promote the inter-
est of his fellow men. If he ac-
cepts an Office in some voluntary
association, and gives freely to the
cause OF his time and energies, to
say nothing of contributing his mon-
ey, his usual reward is fault finding
and ultimate dismissal. This is no
more true among farmers than with
other classes of workmen. Such
work is most unsatisfactory, and
complaints are loudest in voluntary
associations; for the members feel
no responsibility, and expect the
officers to do everything, yet give
them nothing to work with. This
is the real cause of the want of sue
cess of our milk unions, attempts at
buying together and starting cooper
ative stores where the officers and
managers work for glory. But when
these matters are put right down to
a hard-pan basis in a business-like
| way, success usually follows. In

by being roasted; it contains no

AS a substitute for corn, it is the

age planter. would advise no
man to sell his corn and feed roasted
cotton seed alone; but if his corn is
scarce, he can carry along the work
on large plantation by feeding
roasted cotton seed to portion of
his stock, or as a mixed ration to
them all, and in pinch -and many
planters get there-he will find that
roasted cotton seed will bridge him
over tight spot between crops in a
most surprising and satisfactory
manner. At the time when his corn
crib is very low, corn is always high
and hard to get, but cotton seed is
usually abundant, it is roaste d with
little trouble or expense, and will
take the place of corn so opportune-
ly that he will wonder why he had

Do not expect to get eggs of the

you buy eggs, you buy them for the
stock and not because they are par

pure. He must separate them from
others, attend to them personally,
and pay high prices himself for new

eating it at all, is nearly all burned
by the roasting process, and this,
when the seed is ground, can be en-
tirely removed by shaking it in
box or pan, the lint being so light
it rises to the top at once and is
thrown out. The roasted seed, be-
ing very dry, will keep for any
length of time, will not mould, get
musty or turn sour, and it is diff.
cult to distinguish the meal year
old from that which is ground to-
day.
The proper manner of feeding
roasted cotton seed is one of those
problems that every man can best
solve for himself, for the simple
reason that the conditions existing
upon no two plantations are alike.
To commence with the roasted seed
or meal is rich, wholesome, pala-
table food, and having it, the next
question is how to feed it to the
best advantage. The farmer may
have oxen, cows, calves, horses,
mules, sheep and hogs. If it was
corn, he would use certain amount
of judgment as to the gu lntity, the
time, place, etc., and whether it is
to be fed alone or as part ration in
conjunction with other coarse or
concentrated foods. Cotton seed is
usually so abundant and cheap that
it is the custom to throw it out with
a shovel to any and everything that
will eat it. It's disagreeable taste
and indigestible nature make it
quite certain that none will eat it
to excess, and whatever is left is
thrown upon the compost heap, and
this is repeated each day as long as
the seed lasts. But when the far
mer has taken the trouble to roast
his seed and put it in the best con-
dition for feeding, he must use
judgment and skill to so feed . as
to attain the best results. A pound
of meal from roasted cotton seed
contains as much nutrition as q
pound of corn, and he neglects his
interests and does himself an inius-
tice if he does not feed it with as
much economy and care.
Raw cotton seed are very indiges-
tible; the animal eating it does not
assimilate all the real food it con-
tains; it passes through them undi-
gested and they fail to receive the
proper benefit of considerable
portion, but the roasted seed is very

VOL. XIV.
Feeding Roasted Cotton Seed.

Feed1ng Roasted Cotton Seed.
The feeding ofroasted cotton seed,
which can no longer be character
lied as an experiment, has given
rise to 80 many questions regarding
the manner of feeding or the quan-
tity to be fed, that I am constantly
surprised or annoyed or amused at
the various views that various peo-
pie take about it. AS the originator
of the process of roasting cotton
seed, and an opportunity to notice
its use for, number of years in
feeding all kinds of stock and under
almost every possible condition, l
ought to be able to express an in
telligent opinion regarding the man.
ner in which it should be fed, the
quantity, etc., but when a man
writes to me to know how much he
should give mule, without stating
any of the surrounding conditions,
am quite upable to make reply.
The mule might be large or small,
or old or young, working hard or not
working at all, having abundance of
hay or fodder in addition, or posi-
bly, nothing but the roasted seed,
and it must be seen that it is diff
cult to make satisfactory answer
to question that involves so many
conditions that the absence or pres
ence of any one might nullify all the
rest.
Roasted cotton seed is a rich,
wholesome, palatable food that all
animals will eat and thrive on. The
raw seed contains the elements of a
rich, strong food, but they are very
indigestible, and but few animals
can eat them, and the raw oil they
contain is an element of discord in
the stomach OF any animal, and the
lint upon the seed makes it impos-
sible for many animals to eat them
at all. The roasting process changes
all this; the bitter. .disagreeable taste
is entirely gone and is replaced by
pleasant taste and flavor of roasted
coffee-so similar that many people
imagine it would make an excellent
substitute. The oil which in it's
raw condition is so difficult of diges-
ton, is changed by the heat requir-
ed to roast the seed into sort of
gelatine, and bursting the cells in
which it is held, it rermeates and
spreads through all the meal con-

frequent and disastrous to the Mashonas
hitherto have now ceased as the natives of
Mashonafand are under the protection of
the English. Imagine the terror in which
these unfortunate natives used to live con-
tinually, not knowing when they would be
swept down upon by horde of Matabeles,
who would kill all the men unable to es-
cape, carry away the women and children

The Mashonas live in round huts, 10 or 12'

They are made of small poles placed per-

Jackson Out of Pittsburg.

"REMINISCENCES OF EARLY AND LEE
WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. ]


Old Ben Kelley was one of the silent
heroes of the war; Major Davis, the army
officer who has charge Of the publication Of
the Rebellion records, told me that Kelley
made less history for the amount of fighting
he did than any general officer in the
service
Prudent, secretive, vigilant, General Kel-
ley committed little to paper. No telltale
order ever betrayed his plans to the enemy.
His instructions always went by word Of
mouth, through trusted adjutants, and no
correspondents were allowed in his camps.
His reports scarcely showed which side
licked when he had been victorious. They
were characteristic of the man, terse, Ia
comic, modest. In the forthcoming volume
of War Records, covering some of Kelley's
operations along the Baltimore and Ohio
Railway, Major Davis will have to depend
largely upon the reports of the Confederate
commanders for his history. The reports Of
Stonewall Jackson, Loving and McCausland
relate interesting experiences with Kelley's
ten thousand along the upper Potomac and
in the Shenandoah.
KEPT JACKSON OUT OF PITTSBURG.
From the beginning to the close of the
war Kelley operated i'll the mountains and
kept open the Baltimore and Ohio road,
the great supply artery for the armies of
the East; and he was the man who kept
Stonewall Jackson out of Pittsburg. EARLY
In the war jackson conceived the idea of
invading Western Pennsylvania to ravage
the rich farming country of the Mononga-
hela Valley, burn Pittsburg and destroy the

For many years have refused to write

rich newspapers, when the big price named
would have been very material aid IN my

now were it not for the many recent mis-
leading publications upon the same subject,
which force me to set all things right. Some
of them have been unjust and all Of them
imperfect. 1t is also due to the memory Of
the elder Booth that the truth be told now
that the matter has been made public by
those who did not know and could not OBJ

Some nine years ago, while walking along
Eden street, far beyond the business centers
of the city of Baltimore, 1 came upon an old
Catholic graveyard. 1t was such quaint

cited and 1 wandered in through the open
gate. There was such an air of peace and
rest that 1 spent an hour and more in look
ing over the crumbling monuments and
reading the strange inscriptions thereon.
In far orner of this curious old cemetery
I came upon a half sunken grave with a
tombstone, brown with age, half fallen over.
It's appearance is shown in the accompany
