Earth and charcoal are both good
dIslnfectants aud preservers Of flesh,
and if | was in Florida would pack
my meat in charcoal, not dust. but
small crushed coal. Before putting
the meat down l would powder it from
pepper box with borax. Borax is
almost universally used now. 1t is
sure death 10 shippers and other YER
mine, and a druggist told me that the
sale OF it had increased thousand per
cent within the last five years.
When my family got home we found
thati was not good to live by meat
alone and we had TO send down the
river Il hundred miles for few bushels
OF com aud hid it near mill in the
country, because the outlaws and de-
scrters were patrolling the land and
taking everything they could find. a
good friend brought US half bushel
of meal at time on the sly, and SO
We got along. The memory of old
Rowland Bryant is still precious to us
for his kindness in those days of trib-
ulation. 1t is encouraging to know
that Armour & Go. have not abolished
all the smokchouscs in the land, nor
drawn our home made meat into their
mighty trust. Our farmers are gene
rally raising their IN meat and bring
good deal to town to SELL and my
wife says that country lard is purer
and better than any that comes from
the packing houses of the west. Our
home market is well supplied by our
farmers with almost everything that
is good to eat. Beef, pork, butter,
chickens, eggs, potatoes, turnips,
cabhages, beans and apples are in
great abundance. Of course, we can t
have mutton, for the negroes must
have dogs and the candidates must
have negro votes. lost eight fine
Merinos in one night and my neigh
bor, Mr.. Dobbins, lost three hundred
In five years, and quit the business.
But with all our drawbacks. our pco-
pie are on the upgrade. Seven cents
cotton has helped greatly, and if our
farmers will cut down the acreage still
more, it will bring S cents next year
and leave more land for wheat and
corn. The southern farmers ought to
form a mighty trust and regulate
acreage and price. Our own county
could regulate itself by organizing
and combining with the local banks.
Our average crop is 10000 bales, and
at cents a pound would bring $780,
600. About one-half of this could be
carried and held by the more wealthy
producers. The other 5000 bales
could get an advance Of 5 cents a
pound, or $50 bale. from, the banks
on warehouse certificates. This would
take only S15O,OO0. Even s25 bale
would pay the cost Of production and
leave the margin for the producer,
and this would require from the banks
only s125, 900. If every county was
to do this a 100000 bale crop
would jump to 8 cents within sixty
days. That's the way to meet trust
with trust and defy the spectators.
Why can t it be done?

"A g00d-natGred phllanthroltst was
walking along the docks one Sunday
morning, when he found boy asleep
in hogshead. He shook him until
he was wide-awake, and then opened
the following conversation:
"What are you doing here, boy?'
81 slept here all night, sir, for | had
no other place to sleep in
How is that? Have you no father
or mother? Who takes care Of you?"
"My father drinks, sir, aud l don't
know where he is. l have to take
care Of myself for my mother is dead;
she died not long ago. And at the
mention of her name the boys eyes
filled with tears.
"Well, come alons with me. I'll
give you home, and look after you
as well as can.
The child thus adopted on the wharf
was taken to Il happy home. He was
sent tc common school, and after
wards employed as clerk in the store
Of his bcnefactor. When he became
of age, his friend and bencfactor said
to him: "Iou have been faithful
and honest boy aud man. and if you
will make three promises, 1 will fur
nish you with letters Of credit, SO that
you can start business in the West on
your own account.
"What promises do you wish me to
make?' inquired the young man.
First, that you will not drink in
toxicating liquors of any kind"
81 agree to that"
Second, that you will not use pro-
fame speech"
II agree to that
"Third, that you will not become
politician.
II agree to that
The young man started in business
in the West, and by minding his own
business in IA few years he became
rich man. At the close Of the war he
came East, and called upon his friend
and accepted father. In the course
of happy interview the philanthrop-
ist asked his adopted son if he had
kept his total abstinence pledge.
"Yes, sir, was the answer
"Havc YOU abstaincd from the use
Of profanc specch?'
"Ycs, sir, said the man with en-
phasis.
Have you had anything to do with
politics?''
The visitor-thc adopted son, per
haps should have said-blushed, and
said: without my consent l was
nominated for Governor of my State
and elected. am now on my way to
Washington to transact important
business for the State

wine before it could be shelter for
the little Arab who ran wild in that
wilderness of marble and mortar, the

that the little waits afoat on the wave

At the meeting of the board of managers
at the studio of Miss Amy C. Leavitt it
was determined that the opening rehearsal
for the season should be postponed from
Monday. October 2, to the next Monday.

cember 70 and January 2. For the soprano
part in these two performances it is ex-
pected that enc will be taken by Miss Sara
Anderson, whose career during the past

one of the most successful known to an
American singer. She has been pronounced
by competent Judges as the most satisfac-
tory soprano concert singer now on the
stage
For the other concert the soprano will be
Mrs. Charles B. Morton, we'll known in
musical and social circles in Baltimore.
She has appeared several times in her ma
tive city in oratorio, under the direction
Of Prof. Joseph Pache, at the concerts OF
the Baltimore Oratorio Society. Mrs. Nor
ton has been heard in Washington only In
private. She has the rare advantages not
only Of a beautiful and highly cultivated
voice, but also of the most charming per-
sonal appearance.
Reports were received in regard to the
engagement of the great dramatic con-
tralto. Nine. Schumann-Heink. A commu-
nication by cable is expected from her in
q few days, which will enable definite in
formation to be given of her appearance in

lied to secure artists of unusual standing

first complete performance of this great
work ever given in Washington and will
signalize the tenth annual presentation of
the work Of the society.
