In a Kansas town few days ago, {

In Kansas town a few days ago, a woman applied foi a divorce from her husband after they had lived together in peace and harmony for period of sixty years. On the trial it developed that the cause of this. their first quar- rel, was saussages. We have not read full particulars of the case, and do not know whether it was the husbands bird dog or the wifes poodle that was missing, but a quarrel over sausages was the beginning of the divorce suit and there must have been something out of the common to break matrimo- nial bonds which had remained intact three score years.

As a fair specimen of the kind of comment indulged in by some of the Northern Republican papers, we copy this from The Washington National Tribune:
 Free passes must lie unusually near the heart of Aiabamians. when an ex-Gov- ernor and a delegate draws a knife and threatens to cut the heart out of the Con- stitutional Convention unless he can have the legislation in regard to them that he desires.
 The Tribune is the accepted organ of all the pension -grabbers, and is one of the bitterest enemies of Commis- sioner Evans. It is natural for it to indulge in such false statements about Southern men and affairs.

In a Constant Stew.

Blocton Messenger.
 The Montgomery Advertiser thinks that if the dampness of the damp had been equal to the hotness of the heat last week it would have been awfully uncomfortable in Montgomery. We have always observed that the damp dampness has tendency to dry out in hot heat otherwise we should be in a constant stew.

good for fowls with bowel troubles.
Late melting hens are of little value
for laying during the fall and winter.
Sunilowers and sorghum seed may be
fed without thrashing. Let the fowls
pick them off.
Hens will rarely eat their eggs if they
are given plenty of broken bone and
oyster and clam shells.
Healthy. thrifty fowls are always early
risers. They should be fed as soon as
they fly down from the roost.
Besides the fact that profit can be
made in raising poultry and eggs for
market, a still greater profit can be
made by raising them for home use.
Poultry pays well in orchards. The
shade is good for the fowls-they pick
up numberless insects and fertilize the
soil el1'ectually. There is no surer remedy
for the curculio. Give them free range
in the orchard.
In making up the breeding yards it is
better to have a small cockerel and large
hens than large cockerel and small
hens unless some special object in the
breeding is desired. The cockerels should
be vigorous and active.
