Agricultural Notes.

BE sure TO make good job of pillow.
ing the corn the first time.
The farmer who raises what most
others are neglecting frequently
makes it pay.
Try patch of peas and oats sown
together, feed the cows and horses
should drouth cut the grass short.
Let the boys have piece of ground
on which to plant and grow for their
use or profit whatever crop they may
desire.
Several experiment stations have
concluded from tests made, that two
inches is about the right depth to
plow corn.
Get the start of the weeds and then
plow the corn often enough and only
deep enough to keep the weeds down,
and to keep loose surface to act as a
mulch.
There is no excuse for farmers 60
ing to town in their working clothes.
A farmer is under as many obligations
to dress neatly as the doctor or law
yer.-Journal of Agriculture.
An exchange very aptly says that
because the father was compelled to
work himself almost to death when he
was young is no sort of reason why his
child should be made to work himself
to death.
If the soil is not finely pulverized, it
will pay to run the roller ahead of the
cultivator the first blowing. II the
first cultivator leaves any weeds in
the hill they are very hard to get at ex-
cept with the hand or hoe.
Farmers would do we'll to to try an
acre or two of Kaf1ir corn as an exper-
mental crop. Mr.. j. e. Trimble
was exhibiting sample of the Kaflir
corn that he brought from Oklahoma
to some friends few days ago. 1t is
said to be most excellent and very
grateful feed for stock. 1t would be
well worth the while of some of our
stockmen to investigate the merits of
the Kaffir.

Secretary Carlisle has written let.

Secretary Carlisle has written let
ter in which he says: 81 never made
speech or written letter in favor OF
the free coinage of silver at the ratio
of I6 to l, or in fact at any other ratio,
and the quotation which is so often
made from the speech to which you
refer was a denunciation of policy
which would destroy, by legislation or
otherwise from threC-sevenths to
one-halt of the metallic money Of the
world, as is shown by the speech itself.
At that time the silver dollar had been
dropped entirely from our coinage,
and was by law legal tender only to
the amount of S.. The act OF 1875
corrected this, and since then we have
coined $420OO0000 full legal tender
silver dollars. Silver is not now de-
monetized in this country as it is in
England, Germany and other coun-
tries, but is, as you know, in constant
use among the people as fnl legal
tender money"

Ex-Governor Buckner, through
the medium of an interview in the
Courier-Journol presents his views
on the silver coinage. His Ian,
guage is clear, vigorous and to the
point. Refusing to take into con-
sidcration any possible effect Of his
statements upon his chances for
election as United States Senator,
he declares himself unequiYocally
against the free coinage Of silver.
He is in favor of both gold and
silver, but believes that an attempt
to maintain a double standard
must result in recommendation, and
that bimetallism is assured only
by adherence to a single standard.

That was a terrible retribution that
overlook the guilty ones in the Cor
don-Brown killing at Louisville last
Tuesday. Notwithstanding the UNI
written lawthat gives man the right
to Stay him who enters his family and
destroys, forever, its peace, we grow
sick at the bloody butcher who is not
satisfied with killing the aggressor,
but turns his weapon upon the weak,
though guilty, woman and kills her
also.
Grievous were the sins of the pair
thus bloodilv ushered into the pres
ence of an offended God, and grievous-
ly have they paid the penalty Of their
guilt. Who can sound the depth of
sorrow and the awfulness of the grief
of those who loved them, in spite Of
their sins? God pity the suffering
ones, for their anguish is beyond the
reach of human sympathy.
The guilty ones have paid their
debt and we may well say, "peace to
their ashes" But from the brutal
butcher, no matte" what his provoca-
ton, we can only turn with horror and
disgust

to escape mob violence. He is charged
with criminal assault on his fifteen

some cause it was kept secret until

soon as this was learned the citizens OF
the community became very much

This topaz stone is one of the
 few beautiful gerls pn this conti-
 nent. It is of extraordinary size, beautiful in color, and perfect in
 shape. It was taken from the
 Scioto merchants, who were im-
 paled alive during the insurrection
 between the Isles of Sico and the
 Turkish Government. Captain
 Pasha Ali claimed possession and
 kept it until his death, which was
 instantaneous from the fall of n
 blazing mast OR his own flag ship.
 1t was taken again with other spells by Miasondis, the Greek Com
 mander. Count Cape q Istria.
 President of the Guve1 men of Greece, next became possesser. His government becoming unpopular he was assinated, and his property confiscated. This topaz with other presents, was then given Prince Leopold, of Sax-Cobourg, who, in his turn, graciously presented if to the princess. In course of time the stone once more fell into the hands of merchants, and was purchased in Europe by diamond merchant of Toronto, for $5.000 Mrs. Jennie Kimball, while playing an engage ment in Toronto, few weeks ago, heard of the eexistance of this historic jewel. and made up her mind to it.

 In the Court.
CGazette, Wednesday. Dec. lq.j

The third days proceedings in the Pine Bluff water works case in Federal Court yielded no termination of the suit, and the hearing will be. James M. Clifford, the receiver of the water company, was on the witness stand yesterday and testified in de fense of himself against the charges preferred by the city to the effect that he is a nonresident and leaves tine management ur Pine Bluff's water supply to subordinates Re- ceiver Clifford resides in New York and was appointed by Judge Cald- well to take charge of the water works at the instance of the bond holders interested. Tn his statement yesterday the receiver aVerred that the men selected by him to manage the water supply had been chosen because of their fitnes and experience. During the day bottles containing samples of the water supplied were exhibited in the court by the at torneys for the city. The water had d muddy appearance and tended to bear out the city's contention that it is not fit for drinking or domestic purposes. great deal of testimony was taken during the day. Judge Williams took q hand in the ex- animation of witnesses and pre- pounded many questions. t is thought the testimony will be finised today and q decision is looked for immediately after the court hears from the counsel on both aides.

Amid all the noise of wrangling which has been going on during these past few months in New York over the question of Sabbath observance, no thought is more quieting, no pie ture more peaeeable, no example more conducive to wholesome re- spect than that which the South at present offers to the entire country. As restful q picture, and suggest tive of the true al of living, as the South always offers to. those who can look at it and it's people with Il broad
 minded spirit and with discerning eyes, that garden-spot of American life has never presented more delightful aspect than at this moment. And it should command our national respect, admiration and thankfulness. Just now the Southern people are enjoying a Cot ton States Exhibition at Atlanta, and at no time,. thus far, in the history of their celebration and mer- ry-making has the thought occurred to either the managers of the expo sition, or the people Of the South, to question the propriety of Sabbath observance.
