Vile. Governor Buchanan, being In
formed of the situation, sent ten com
panies, some of them artillery armed with
Gatling guns, to the scene of disturbance
A committee of miners visited the Gov
ernor, but could get no satisfaction from
him. There was great excitement among
the miners and violence was threatened.
A meeting was held, at which the COM
mittee appointed to wait upon the Gov
ernor made report.
It was a turbulent gathering. The
only concession that the committee had
been able to obtain was a compromise
that the Governor would call an extra
session OF the Legislature and submit to
that body proposition for the repeal OF
the convict labor law. A few counseled
forbearance until this should be brought
about, but the majority insisted that con-
vict labor IN the mines should cease at
once. Finally, however, it was agreed
to allow the Governor to act as he had
proposed, on condition that the militia be
ordered home; that an armistice be main
tanned for sixty days and that the con-
vict lease system be abolished. The
committee was instructed to inform the
Governor that if these conditions were
not complied with there would be war,
and that any force sent into the mount
aims to coerce them would be extermi-
mated from the face of the earth.
Governor Buchanan called the Legls-
lature in extra session as agreed, but that
body refused to repeal the convict labor
law. Troops we're again sent to the dis
trict to protect the convicts, and, al
though there have since been no popular
disturbances, an armed neutrality exists
which may at any time be overthrown
and result in reign of carnage.
The district in which these troubles
have arisen is one of the widest in
Tennessee, and the people are by no
means peaceaoly inclined when they con-
slider that their rights have been infringed.
The miners are for the most part sober,
industrious and law-abiding set of men.
Work in the mines is the only means of
subsistence for entire communities. Tne
labor of the convicts has had an exceed
ingly hurtful effect upon them. 1t has
tended to lessen wages, to impair the
morals of the community and to destroy
that emulation or esprit du corps that is
so essential to general prosperity. Free
labor has been unable to compete with
convict labor, and as result the people
have been growing poorer year by year.
There are many personal and family
feuds in the section that have several
times resulted in bloodshed. The Sutton
Barnard feud several years ago attracted
widespread attention. Originating in q
trivial difference of opinion, it grew to
great proportions, and resulted in the

RAISING PEKrN DUCKS.

The Pekin duck is comparatively new
variety in this country, as the first speci-
mems were landed in New York in 1873,
after voyage of 124 days from Shanghai,
China. They are, however, as hardy and
prolific as any of the domesticated ducks,
and their bodies are so large and heavy
and wings so short that they ara readily
kept II yards or other enclosures. This
variety of the duck can be raised whera
ever other fowls succeed and with the
same care, except that they need more
water for drink than hens. As soon a.
the ducklings are out of the shell re-
move them, with the mother, to a coop
set on fresh grass, and keep them CON.
fined in a small pen, say ten feet square,
until they are two or three years old
Keep shallow pan of water constantly
in the pen, in which the ducklings may
wade at pleasure. The water should be
changed frequently in order that it
may be kept pure. For the frst
food give the yolks of hard.boiled
eggs, and if these cannot be had then
give boiled liver chopped up fine. This
food will answer for the first week, then
gradually change to scalded Indian
meal, wheaton grits, or rice. Bread
crumbs and sour milk may also be given
As the ducklings get older give them
more liberty, when they will get q
greater variety of food, such as insects !
and angle worms; also vegetables, or at
least ane grass and clover. If you do
not have a pond filed with weeds, OF
good high land pasture, give CHOPPED
onions, cabbages, lettuce, and other
green and succulent vegetables. Always
have your ducks kept in yard at night.
and let this be their home, for when,
they get enough to lay you will want to
gather their eggs, and as they are usu-
ally dropped early in the morning, and
almost anywhere on the ground, You
have only to look about the yard to finf
them. If the ducks are allowed to roam
at will they usually seek some secure
spot for hiding their nests and eggs, and
this is why they should be placed in q
yard at night, and not let out until about
the middle of the forenoon each day
during the laying season. In feeding
the old ducks it is good plan to scatter
the corn, oats, wheat, and other grain
given them in shallow water, and Let
them pick it out as it becomes soft

Wild Rice.

Wild rice is native of our Northern
and Western States, valuable as forage
plant for swamps and inundated lands.
Stock of all descriptions are fond OF it
when green and also when used for fod-
der. It is also an attractive bait for
wild fowl. It grows very rapidly in
from one to five feet of water, rpens
late in August or early in September. 1t
is sometimes sown in fishponds. Form.
erly the Indians of the lake region of
the Northwest made great use of it as an
article of food by gathering it in their
canoes and curing it for winter food.
Some of the leading seedsmen quote it
in their catalogues. Thorburn gives the
following directions for sowing it: Put
the rice in coarse cotton bags and sink
them in water for twenty-four hours.
Sow in water which is from six inches
to five feet deep, in soft mud bottom,
and in places where there are but few
weeds. It is useless in sowing this seed
except on mud bottom, or on low
marshy places which are covered with
water the year round.-New York

Annlying the Death Penalty In Spain.

Speaking of recent execution by the
garrote in Spain, the San Francisco Ex.
sminer describes the method of capital
punishment in that country as follows:
The platform upon which the garrote
was erected was surrounded by a.roush
wooden railing, inside OF which was a
strong detachment of police and troops,
who had no trouble in keeping the people
back. Upon the scaffold there were four
wooden partitions, in each Of which was
q stake. Attached to each stake there
was metallic collar which is put around
the criminals neck. Behind the collar
is screw which is turned until Its point
crushes into the spinal column, causing
almost instant death.

TESTING GRASS AND CLOVER SEED.

It is we'll to test grass and clover seed,
not only to determine if the vitality OF
the seed is impaired. but also to ascer-
tain if it is adulterated with seeds OF
weeds or noxious grasses. Testing should
never be neglected, for it IS the seed
not suspected that does the harm. Select
a number of seeds large enough to make
the test a test-at least one hundred.
Count carefully. Place the seeds between
woolen cloths moistened with tepid
water. The cloths should be boiled re-
fore they arc used, and the plate or pan
in which they are laid should be scalded
to avoid the growth of fungi or mould.
For the same reason, only recently boiled
water should be used for moistening the
cloths. At least two cloths should be
laid upon the plate. Then the seed IS
distributed over them, and covered with
another cloth. If the reader can cover
the plate with glass he should do so, as
this vii! ,etard evaporation and protect
the cloths from floating germs. Under
tLcsc conditions aad temperature of
seventy to eighty degrees Fahrenheit,
good seed Will germinate within ten
days. Seeds Of little vitality may germ
inate after ten days, but they should not
be counted in the test, as they would
probably fail to gcrmlnato under field
conditions. Seed should not be used
whom more than ten per cent. fails to
gerrainate, If better seed can be procured
in time for testing and sowing. Amer

Kerry Cattle.

Kerry cows have not been kept in this
country to any extent, probably on ac-
count of their small size. Those that
have been imported have disappeared
from sight or have been kept by a few
persons who have made no effort to spread
any knowledge of them. They may be
procured through E. Goodwin Preece,
live stock agent, Shrewsbury, England.
Good specimens of the breed will cost
about $I5O per head landed on this sle

to be the most productive OF all for the
food consumed. New York Times.

FLINDERS. .

Few persons think of the suffering
caused to horses from the use of blind
ers. The horses eyes are placed on the
side of the head, but the blirGers, shut
ting off the side view, compel him, to
look ahead, hence they must cause con.
slant strain and besides they act as re-
Electors, and reflect the suns glare into
the animals sensitive eyes. Most people
know the painful effect on the eye of a
ray of sunlight from mirror.
When close to the head, blinders cause
an unnatural heat which is injurious.
The horse is not so likely to be fright
ened if he can see what is behind him.
In Russia, where binders are never used,
a shylng horse is almost unknown. Care,
of course, should be used in taking them
off horses accustomed to them.-New

ENSILAGE IN STACKS.

The Scotch or English practice OF
stacking hay and then subjecing it to
pressure by weights or by windlasses,
drawing together chains or ropes attached
to cross-timbers under and over plank
foorings, seems to be successful there,
but it is not adapted to this country
with its variable climate and extremes of
temperature. Experiments made in this
State and Massachusetts showed much
loss in spoiled ensllage-in one case
nearly two-thirds of the stack; and this
wastage, even if much less, will doubt
less offset the cost of good silo.-Coun-

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
1t is love that makes us come;
We are certain Of our welcome,

We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!
For to whom, Lord, can We go?

From Thy lips forever flow.
We come to Thee. sweet Saviour!
We have tried Thee oft before;
But now we come more wholly,
With the heart to love Thee more.
We come to Thee, sweet Saviour!

We cannot live without Thee,
And still less without Thee die.
