A colored Bar Association vas organic

smeeting at Greenyille. There were about
twenty charter members, and it is claim.
sed that no other State in the Union has
enough colored lawyers to form Bar As
sociation, or, at least no other State has
ssuch an Association. One feature of their
meeting was the discussion of the new
State Constitution, under which some of
sthe members charged that the negro race
was Disseminated against. One of the
most intelligent members contended that
sthe association should only discuss the
constitution from judicial staBdpoint.
He argued and showed that twas good

CHICAGO, March pa lymph to cure
drunkenness The announcement of ths
discovery of such remedy has beer
made by DR.. Leslie Keeley, of Dwight
ILL.,, after having performed 5000 success
full experiments upon confirmed drunk
ards. In q measure the lymph Is only
little less wonderful in the remedies il
works than Koch's famous liquid for con
sumptives.
Dr.. Keeley says that he is absolutely
sure that with single injection of bichlo
ride of gold any man can be transformed
from disciple of the demon into first
class prohibitionist. The treatment Il
only required for few days, or at mos
two weeks. Out of the thousands of the
worst specimens of drunkards in Illinois
and Iowa, whom the doctor has treated
at his institute in Dwight, there has moi
been one who went away uncured.
II give them all the whiskey they
want when they come to me-" said DR.
Kelley, 'tand excellent whiskey, too
My, how some of the old topers do guzzle
it for about two days. In the meanwh lie
I'm getting in the lymph"
The third day after leaving "shots,
as it is called, of the bichloride of gold
there is little whiskey asked for. The
patients do not abhor 1t, but they fee
first rate without it, and don't have bi
more craving for liquor than child has
An appetite for food increases, and the
ex-drunkards brace up in spirits and
manliness.
The chemical action of the iymph upon
the system of person who has used s
great deal of alcohol apparently counter
acts the effects of the poison and drives
away any appetite for strong beverages
The lymph is also cure for the opium
craze, and the most confirmed users Of
the deadly drug are healed of their mala
dy in fortnight. Cocaine is another
prey of this gilt edge liquid and a modi'

After Twenty-one Years,

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March pa re-.
markable meeting after twenty.one years
of separation occurred at the woman's
prison here yesterday between a mother,
q life convict, and her daughter, resi-
dent of st. Louis. In January, 1870,
Mary A. Adams was tried in the Jennings
County Circuit Court on the charge of
poisoning her husband. She was sent to
the woman's prison to serve life sen.
tence, and her family of children we're
scattered. One of these was Emma, who,
at the time her mother was convicted,
was FIVE years old. She was adopted by
family who moved to Missouri. She
grew into womarhood without knowledge
Of her parents, regarding both as dead.
In time abe married and made her home
in St. Louis. A few days ago she returned
to this State to attend the funeral of a
sister in Bartholomew County, and there
she learned her mothers fate. Without
delay Emma came to this city and went
direct to the woman's prison, where she
asked to see Mrs. Adams. A woman,
with sorrow marked on every feature and
form bent with age, vas pointed out to
her. Emma, sitting with emotion, ap.
preached the prisoners and with tremb-
ling voice asked:
care you Mrs. Adams? ?"
"Yes," replied the prisoner, "but who
are you ?"
81 am Emma, Emma--your little EN-.
ma. Don't you remember me?"
In an instant they we're clasped in each
others arms. The sobbing of the two
women deeply affected all who witnessed
the scene. The mother continually pat
ting the daughter on the shoulder, cry
ing, "Oh ! my Emma; my little baby
girl !"
After the meeting the daughter went at
once to Governor Hovey, and throwing
herself on her knees, prayed for her
mothers pardon. To her joy she learned
that her prayer had been answered, as
papers for Mrs. Adams pardon had long
been pending and the night before the
Governor had decided to issue the order
for the woman's release In the afternoon
Mrs. Adams became free woman and
left last evening for St. Louis.

w. 81. Holloway, of Indiana, who
was Governor Morton's private Secretary
says that soon after Fort Sumter was fred
upon, Capt. Grant, later General Grant,
presented himself to Governor Morton,
explaining that he had been educated at
West Point at the expense of the Gov
ernment, and had served in the Mexican
war, and asked Hhat chance there was for
his getting an Indiana regiment to COM
mand. Governor Morton explained to
Captain Grant that in Lincoln's call for
$4,000 men Indiana's quota was but six
regiments, and these were all supplied
with commanders.
"A young man camping in the sier-
ras discovered and captured butterfly OF

an individual of fossil species, suppos-
ed to be extinct, and great was the ex-
citement among the scientists at the dis
covery that one of the race had been re-.
Gently alive. Although diligent search
has been made by men paid for the SER

Flowers in RefrIgerators.

There seems to be something curious
ly incongruous about placing flowers in
a refrigerator but that is exactly what
all florists do, and everybody sees that
through this COOL not to say chilly,
treatment Of them they are preserved
very satisfactorily. The florist Thorley
is said to be the first man who ever used
a refrigerator in this way. Before GO
ing into the flower business he did
large butchering business in Washing
ton market. Without any particular
theory in the matter he nut the flowers
in the refrigerator because he had been
in the habit of putting his meat there.
The effect was, of course, to arrest the
development of the flowers. When
they were taken out they were nearly
as fresh and crisp as when they went in.
The use of the refrigerator was rapidly
adopted, and the refrigerator is now one
of the most expensive appointments in
flower shop. They are all illuminated
with electric lights, and the tempera-
ture is about IS or 60. Before the re-
frigerators were introduced the flowers
were kept in layers underneath the
counter, but the heat of the store, espec'
tally at night, had the effect Of willing

Educated Farmers.

1t is no doubt natural that the col
lege boy, in love with literature, with
the sciences, should look forward to a
life devoted to intellectual pursuits
that in his vision of the future, so
filled with name and fame, there
should be little room for the homlier
occupations of filling the soil and at
tending to the details of business, yet
it may well be doubted ifthe average
professional man could not make for
himself a more enviable reputation,
exercise a wider influence, and come
down to old age better satisfied with
himself than those about him, were
he to give himself to farm life. AS an
instance in point we recall the case
of one who generation since was
graduated with high honors from a
leading New England college. Scarce.
ly had he entered upon his chosen
profession, which promised unusual
success, when duty seemed to call
him to the side of his aged parents.
He saw that they needed a strong
arm upon which to lean in their last
years, and he had not the heart to
ask them to leave the old farm where
they had worked so long and to
which their very lives seemed we'd
ded, so, with a beautiful devotion,
he gave up his brilliant prospects and
went with his fair young bride back
to the old homestead in an obscure
ruIdBIistrict.
When afew leara syter he laid his
parents to rest he found that he had
no longer desire to return to his
profession. He was convinced that
his work lay in his old home, and
there he has lived and labored faith,
fully, endeavoring to develop to the
utmost his powers for the good O
those about him. With his cultured
mind and broad views he has com,
manded profound respect, and ha'
exerted an influence which has made
itself felt in all the country round
The books and papers upon his tabl,
have been duplicated in the home
about him, and the youth of thos,
homes, emulous of his own sons anC
daughters, have been equally ambi
tious to obtain a liberal education
and with the will they have founc
the way. Indeed, it may be salt
that his presence has placed the en-
tire community upon a higher men
tai and moral plane, and who shal
} say that his influence has been les
far-reaching Or that his lie has bee

Early Winter Pruning,
Marblehead, Mass.

A Pennsylvania orchardist of much
experience sums up in the Country
Gentlemen his wisdom with regard
to the pruning of apple trees as fol ..
lows: Most Orchardists know that the
practice of neglecting to prune an
orchard for some years, and then
pruning heavily, is very injurious.
If trees are properly pruned while
young and the sprouts of suckers
rubbed off once or twice each sum,
mer, it will obviate a great deal of
after-pruniug. But what l want to
show is, when It's necessary to take
off thrifty limbs of some size as in the
case of top grating or opening out the
top OF a tree-at what season of the
year it should be done.
About 20 years ago the idea was
current in many papers that June
was the time to prune; that if done
