The Flight of Time.


1t has come to light that Horace
Greeley was once indicted by grand
jury in Harrison county, Va, for felony
on account of one of his editorials
Three copies of Greeley's weekly Tribune
were taken in the county, and his abolition
editorials were considered so offensive to the
peace and dignity OF the commonwealth that
the grand jury finally took action in the case
Col Benjamin Wilson, attorney for the COM
monwealth, drew the instrument. The wit
nesses against Greeley were AmaZiah Hill and
Seymour johnson, subscribers for the Tribune.
The Indictment recited that on July s. 1856.
Greeley did write, print and publish in New
York the Tribune, the object and purpose of
which said New York Tribune is to advise and
incite negroes in this state to rebel and make
insurrection and to inculcate resistance to the
right of property of masters in their slaves in
the state OF Virginia. and he also knowing
~, willfully and feloniously' circulated said
paper in Harrison county. With the indict-
ment was filed copy of the weekly Tribune of
July g. 1885, in which appeared an editorial
touching the introduction of slavery in Kan
sas. 1t was under the head: 1--WE Will Sub
due You" Less than fifteen years after the
Indictment was drawn Horace Greeley adj

SOUTHERN GlEANlNGS.
A Romantic story.

A romantic story came to light in
Atlanta, Ga, the other day in case in
the.superior court. The petitioner is
Leonora Dean, a minor daughter of
Mrs. Lola Marshall Dean, who was well
knewn in Atlanta, and who died few
weeks ago. 1t was told in the hearing
that Mrs. Dean went to Florida and
became acquainted with a hotel man,
w. +. NJ. Pinkham, who fell in love
with her and she in turn fell in love
with him. At the same time, Mr..
Pinkham was visiting a young
woman in St. Augustine. This
Mrs. Dean did not like, and
she agreed if he wouldn't visit the
other young women for the space of Is
months she would deed to him lot in
Atlanta, worth about 81. 500. He agreed
to this, and kept his promise. The deed
was fully recorded, and then Mrs. Dean
died. 1t developed in the case that the
only reason that Mrs. Dean did not
marry Pinkham was that she had
promised her husband on his death bed
that she would never marry again.
Although she loved Mr.. Pinkham. she
had too much regard for the promise
she had made to her husband to break
it. Since her death her executors have
brought suit in the name of the little
girl to recover the property.

CULTIVATION VS.. IRRIGATION.

In dry seasons the conservation of
moisture in the soil becomes a ques-
ton of paramount Importance to every
irrigation farmer. The condition of
the soil and needs of whatever is
growing upon it should be carefully
studied. Too much water is used by a.
majority of irrigators in the orchard
and garden, and more harm results
from too free use of it than from too
little In a word, everything beyond
a legitimate use is an abuse, and this
will be better understood in a few
years than it is now. This much is GER
tain, that the continuous soaking of
land or crop is sure to result in in
jury.
Much depends on cultivation Often
a thorough stirring of the soil is as
good, if not better than an irrigation.
One method of attracting moisture
which is most effective, but which is
often lost sight of, is by means of a
thorough stirring of the soil. Deep
blowing means protection against
drouth frequently, where shallow turn
ing of the soil would mean failure In
fact, judicious cultivation calls to aid

NOTES IN SEASON.

| Chickens shauld not be dragged
about by a strong. hungry hen, or
turned out to shift for themselves
through long, hot or damp days. They
| Will dwindle and die with no explain
able cause except that they are not
given the opportunity to let nature re-
build the used-up tissues in frequent
sleep and rest. Little chicks need sleep
and lots of it. 1t IS as necessary as
food.
Nahaleb cherry seedlings are the ia
vorite for cherry propagation with
American nurseryment. They are a
small wild tree found on sand knobs
and dry rocks, over western Europe,
| with white bark, hard, close grained,
dark-colored wood, small black bitter
fruit and Towering in short racemes.
The wood, leaves, flowers and fruit are
so powerfully perfumed that it is
known as "the perfumed cherry" The
mazard seeding is from the pits of the
wild red cherry of Europe; it is nearly
allied to and supposed to be the orig
inal form of many of our cultivated
varieties. The choke cherry is neither
the one nor the other, being an Amer
lean seeding known as Prunus Vir-
giniana.
All veterinarians agree that charcoal
is very desirable for swine. 1t seems to
act as a vermifuge and to keep the di-
gestive organs in order. Every swine
raiser admits this; but charcoal is diff
ficult to procure. Anyone who has
corncobs can make it. Dig a hole in
the ground, throw in little dry wood
and fire it, add cobs as they get to
blazing, until the hole is full, and then
cover with sheet iron. Ii twenty-four
hours the cobs will have been changed
into charcoal. 1t may be fed in a self
feeding box. The animals will not eat
more than their systems require for
health.
1t has been demonstrated at the Iowa
station that mutton can be produced at
less expense than beef, and that, too,
leaving the fleece out of consideration
Good lambs have outsold good steers
all winter. 1t is safe to say that the
sheep industry is not only to be run
on a mutton basis, but also on what
may be called a lamb basis. Lambs
have en- advantage over older sheep in
the market, and to their credit also
must be put the fact that they cost
less. Mutton which goes to market in
the form Of we'll ripened lambs does not
need to go begging for buyers at good
prices. Past experience has shown
that lambs sell for about 81 a hundred
lore than adult sheep, and according
to the station report just referred to,
the gain is made at about one-third
less expense. The popular size at pres
emit is about seventy to ninety pounds,
and this will hit the greater portion of
the lambs that go forward.
