The Former Judge From South Carolina
Has Failed to Fulfill Expectations.
Greenville News.
Ex.Judge Thomas ]. Mackey has
heen run down and caught in Phila'
delphia and must stand trial for biga-
my. There has long been general
belief in this state, where the judge is
well-known, that he would end his
career "behind the big casino"-which
is the professional term for gazing
through the opening in barred win
dow-but nobody thought it would be
bigamy and we do not hesitate to say
that he is distinct disappointment 10
South Carolina. We though it would
be manslaughter or grand larceny or
burglary on a high scale or very large
confidence game or something else
dashing and dignified aud appropriate
to his age and intellect. None of us
though he would descend to such a
commonplace, easy, cheap crime as
marrying two or three different women.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-A Canadian
river steamer was the scene of an
amusing blunder, which a Wisconsin
paper describes as follows:
A lady passenger was taken ill in the
night; doctors assistance was re-
quired, but the steamer did not carry
a member of the profession. The list
of passengers was read through, in
order to discover if there was med
ical man among them, and happily
there was the name, James Thompson,
M. D.
The stewart quickly ran to Doctor
Thompson's berth, and aroused the
occupant by vigorous blows on the
door.
"What's the matter? Is the boat
sinking ?" came from within, in star
tied tone.
"There's a passenger i'll, and we
want your assistance, DOCTOR" replied
the steward.
"What are you playing at?" growled
the voice. ~ amt no doctor"
"Why, you have got M. D. after
your name"
"Well, 1 can put them letters after
it if 1 like, can't l ?" said the NJ. d.
"That's my trade. I'm mule-drlver."

COTTON'S LOWEST.
Record For Price of Futures Broken oI
the New York Exchange.

Record For Price of Futures Broken on
the New York Exchange.
New York Sun, Thursday.
During the days transactions at the
Cotton exchange yesterday, a new re-
cord for cotton futures was established.
Prices have been declining for some
time past but never touching the low
figures of 1894, when, on November
18th, the December futures sold at 5.23
cents. At The opening of the market
yesterday morning, several hundred
bales of October cotton changed hands
at 5.23. Then the price advanced sud-
denly and until five minutes before
the close the decline was stemmed.
Then liquidation carried The figures
down to 5.24 and to 5.23. Someone
in the pit then bid 5.22 for 100 bales Of
October cotton and the offer was &c.
cepted. Before the close another 100
was sold for the same figure, thus
establishing the lowest price for futures
in the history of the New York Cot
ton exchange.
The causes operating toward this
condition date back to last year, when
southern planters raised 100000
bales of cotton, for which there has
been but moderate demand. AS re-
suit some 100000 bales of last years
crop still remain available Tor use, and
planters made practically no decrease
in the cotton acreage this spring. A
crop of at least 1O,5OO,OO0 bales is
predicted for this fall, and some es-
Inmates place the yield at last years
large total. Three months ago specu-
lators foresaw the coming situation
and began an aggressive campaign on

NANCE ON HOGs.-John Cruze
writes to The Rural World as follows ::
"Have just had some interesting ex-
perience with mango or scab on pigs.
Lost ii out of SO from dosing them
with everything heard or read about.
Was in despair until common sense
came to my aid. figured it out that
it was a parasite under the skin, and
to cure the pig the parasite must be
destroyed. So l mixed up some tur-
pentine and coal oil, and added quite a
bit of sulphur. Then, while the pigs
were at the trough, / squirted the mix
ture all over them from nose to tail by
means of machine oil can. Have
not lost Zig since, and have not been
obliged to repeat the dose"

COULD Not BE RETURNED.-This
is one of the yarns of childhood.
Six-year-old Tommie was sent by
his eldest sister TO the corner grocery
to buy a pound of lump sugar. He
played allies on his way to the store,
and by the time he arrived there he
had forgotten what kind Of sugar he
was sent for. So he took home pound
of the granulated article. His sister
sent him back to the store to get lump
sugar. After the proprietor of the
grocery shop had made the change
for the little lad, he engaged Tommy
in conversation.
"Tommie," said he, 81 understand
there is new member of your
family"
Eyes, sir" replied the kid, "I've got
a little brother"
"Well, how do you like that, hey ?"
inquired the groceryman.
"Don't like it at ALL" said Tommy.
Rather have a little sister,"
"Then why don't you change him,
Tommie?"
swell, we would if we could, but l
don't suppose we can. You see, we
have used him four days now."-

THE USE OF SALT.-Salt is very
useful, though humble, friend of the
housekeeper, if she would but realize
the fact. Damp salt will rub off the
discoloralions left in cups 10y the sedi-
ment of tea and coffee. Salt will SET
the dyes of black and colored articles,

mixed with lemon juice, removes the

basket and straw work, and rubbed in
with Il soft nail brush, is IL most effect

may be kept bright by rubbing them

HIS SALARY. The Washington
Post tells of bright boy, one of the
pages in the senate entrances when a
lady approached with a visiting. card
in her hand.
"Will you hand this to Senator B ?"
she said.
81 cannot" replied the boy ; "all
cards must be taken to the east lobby"
The woman was inclined to be angry
and went away muttering. Then a
thought struck her, and taking out
her pocketbook she found 25 cents
piece. With it in her hand she went
back to the boy.
"Here, my lad" she said, in coax
ing tone, "here is quarter to take my
card in."
MADAM" said the boy, without a
moments hesitation, 81 am paid a
larger salary than that to keep cards
out"

Furnishing A THIEF.

A professional man in st. Louis,
who was accustomed during the sum.
mer months to have his fruit sent TO
him by express from his farm in cen
trail Missouri, was much annoyed one
season by the pilfering of the baggage
men. No matter how carefully his
choice peaches or pears were boxed,
the packages were sure to be broken
into and despoiled with free hand.
He stood the loss without murmur
for several weeks, when, having no.
ticed that the boxes which came in
express car No 81 were rather worse
robbed than those shipped in other
cars, he decided to mete out little
righteous retribution.
In pursuance of his scheme, he
wrote a letter of instruction to the
manager of his farm, and patiently
awaited events.
Three or four days later he receiv-
ed notification that an express pack
age, addressed to him, was coming in
car No. 81, and would reach the city
about noon. He went to the station to
meet the train, and when it came in,
he took a position near the express
car and watched.
He had not long to wait. A man
whose head and face were swollen be-
yond recognition came to the door OF
the car. He was pulling after him in
the most careful manner a box that
bore marks of having been opened and
hastily nailed up again. With NUT
tered curse, he lowered the box to the
truck waiting below to receiveit
"Handle that mighty careful, Jim"
he said TO the boy with the truck.
"For all you know it may have"
"Suffe7in' Job" interrupted the
boy. whats the matter, Swipesy ~
"Notaing," shortly replied the bag
gageman. "Be mighty careful how you
handle that package. That's all I've
got to say to you. Stand out of the
the way; I'm going to throw this
trunk"
The story soon leaked out. Fol-
lowing the instructions he had recelv-
ed, the manager of the farm, by a
little cautious night work, captured a
hornet's-nest, boxed it up, and ship
ped it on that particular day and in
that particular car, in lieu of the
peaches which the box was supposed
to contain.
Fruit-packages addressed the profes-
sional man in question were never
meddled with by that baggageman
afterward.

To CONTROL CUTwoRMs.-A CORES
pondent writes TO The Journal of Ag-
riculture in regard to cutworms: IL
have plowed all kinds of sod, in fall
and spring, and l discover that, view
ing the matter from an anti-cutworm
standpoint, fall plowing is the proper
procedure. Spring plowing does not
check the cutworm's progress as does
fall blowing; the former simply turns
them under, where the earth is warm,
and there they remain until it is con.
venient TO come out. But the latter
gets close to their backbone it turns
their eggs under, where the cold earth
has its. say with them they are so far
beneath the surface that they cant
hatch out-the environment is not
favorable to their nature. But the
eggs, nearly ready to hatch out, plow-
ed under in late spring or corn planting
time, when the ground is warm and
mellow, soon send forth their crawling
creatures"

THE HOG ON THE FARM.-The hog
is the most abused animal on the
farm. We are inclined to think that
by nature he is quite as clean as the
COW; yet no farmer would think OF
keeping the COW in as filthy quarters
as are allotted to the hog. Some say
that the hog will make his pen filthy,
no matter how clean it IS when he is
put in. So will the COW or any other
animal. Suppose you should not clean
the horse stall for a month. How
would they look, and what condition
would the horse be in if you did not
apply the comb and brush for that
length of time? Give the hog a
chance 10 make gentleman of him
self, and you will have a cleaner and
thriftier animal and cleaner and better
pork.
