LEGISLATIVE DOINGs.

Senator LeCato, who has been ill,
has returned. He received an ovation
from his friends.
The tax rate has been set at q
cents on personal and real property
instead of 30 cents as heretofore
lO cents has been added for school
purposes.
The Edwards bill, taking all OF
April and fifteen days of September
from the oystering season, was or.
dered to its engrossment. 1t is pretty
sure to pass.
TO REMOVE JUDGE CAMPBELL.
The House Committee has decided
by majority to recommend the re-
moyai from office of Judge G. j,
Campbell, Of Amherst.
1t is understood that Hon. II. b.
Davis, of Petersburg, will draw the
majority report. which will recon-
mend that Judge Campbell be re-
moved. Capt. w. ID. Cardwell, of
Hanover, will probably pen the mi
nority view. The paper will censure
the Judge and stop there. A great
tight is expected on the floor of the
House, and many members not on
the committee are going to make
speeches.
MIR. Davis, rising to question of
privilege, had read at the clerks
desk an editorial from the Ne,cs-
Leader, which he claimed reflected
greatly upon the members of the
Committee. The member from Peters
burg spoke with some show of feel
ing, but it was with the utmost de-
Liberation that he addressed the
House. He defended the committee
earnestly and said the insinuation
was but the Pigment of a corrupt and
distorted brain, capable of doing
itself what it laid at the door of
others. He rasped the editor vigor-
ously, aud declared his belief that
the charge had been wilfully and
maliciously made to reflect upon the
COMMITTEE. He would take pleasure
in saying this personally TO the editor
II occasion presented itself. Applause
greeted the closing of Mr.. Davis re-
marks, aud Mr.. Duke followed brief
-ly on the same line.

BROUN'S STORE.

Quite unique little mass-meeting
was held at the coy home of Il. j.
Eubank Monday night last, where
two of the most delicate and fasci-
mating temptations of the age were
ably discussed. One Of the boys, il
seems, has been wandering from the
path of duty and righteousness (for

and the object of this amusing and
tickling little mass-meeting was
simply to persuade or scare him back

any desired information pertaining to
it.

do you wonder why? One of our
farmers last fall sold to his neigh

oats aud several days ago, when he
went after them, was told that the
English sparrows had not only eaten
all his oats, but had flown away with
the bags.

who is spending the winter in Balti-

LOOK OUT- COON

We are like the Southern Confed-
crate camps-though in dead earnest
in favor Of having the Government
pension the ex-slaves. But far less
astute men than Senator Hanna
know the old slaves will never be
pensioned-not unless the Southern
States take it on themselves to do it.
Undoubtedly a good deal of harm
Will result to the negro by having
this piece Of political buncome
launched on the part of Mr.. Hanna.
Just let a word of such things get
out and there are thousands of sharks
ready to pounce down upon the poor
black and fleece him of what little
treasure he might have stored up in
his musty old socks. We wish we
could get the ear of every negro and
warn him against being trapped by
INSCRIPTIONS men, some white and
some of his own race. We may look
soon for reputed agents of a fake
bureau securing the country and ex-
acting tithes of ignorant Africans
with promises to further their in.
terests and secure the pensions.

THE CAMPBELL CASE.

DIR. Crawford and Judge Campbell
seem to have reached the end of their
tether neck and neck and incidentally
left Virginia with considerable bill of
costs to pay Times Dispatch.
Would that the chapter ended here.
But it will not. Presumably the
Legislature will have to haul over
the whole fostering mess again. The
$4,000 which it was estimated
would be the cost to the State does
not touch bottom. All this because
of political and personal feuds that
the world would hardly have heard
of but for a few sensational news
papers and greedy public. The
same papers and public clamor have
dogged the steps of the trial and
participants, and, to the oulooker, it
appears that public sentiment has
largely swayed judicial decision.
This is not unlike the Wilcox case
in North Carolina.
AS to a point of merit between
the contending factions it is pretty
much "pull Dick, pull Devil" The
Judge of Amherst appears to have
been unworthy to sit on any bench
but that of Amherst. He is good
enough for that county, and they
might have, with perfect consistency,
let him sit out his term. Amherst
county seems to be rotten to the core
nearly the whole set bunch of
falsifiers when we review the testi-
mony. 1t was an effort to see
which sides witnesses could swear
the hardest against the other. We
are disgusted-but with nothing
more so than the spirit of a few
papers and people that stirred the
fostering mess. Wish it could
avaunt.

TOMATOES AND PICKLES.
Directions from Experienced
Raisers. = Comments from
Others Welcomed.
TOMATO GROWING.

TOMATO GROWING.
Sow tomato seed from 10th to goth
of April IN bed out in the open
ground. For a latter drop they
should be sowed still later. Half
pound of SEED will grow plants
enough for five acres. Set in field
four feet apart each way. Use from
five to seven hundred lbs. fertilizer
to the acre.
In making bed TO SOW seed it
should be raised little to keep the
water off. Then lay off in drills
half inch deep and one foot apart.
Sow the seed not too thick. 1t is a
good plan to have woods mould or
fine manure to sprinkle in the drills
after the seed are sown. Then cover
with very little dirt. This precau-
ton is SO the soil will not bake as it
does sometimes after heavy rain,
when then they cannot break
through. From $50 to 800 bushels
per acre is an average yield here.
GROWING PICKLES.
Plow and manure in April, or a
month or two before planting. If
using fertilizer, two months before
planting. Plant 1st May, LIST June
and LIST July. Put forkful of ma
nure in hill when planting seed; need
not use manure in hill if ground has
fertilizer on when plowed. If ma
.nured when blowing, need not put
manure in hills. Plant in rows four
feet apart, Is to "a inches apart in
the row. Drop three or four of the
seed in hill, thin out when begin to
work to one or two plants in hill,
leaving one or two stalks in hill.
Can work in rows or fat, enough
to keep out grass; work same as
English peas; work first time with
hoe came as corn, then afterward
with cultivator, throwing dirt to
vines, as soon as plants get started
to Keep out grass. Need not work
any more. When following English
peas cut off pea vines for hay; then
pillow; if plenty fertilizer used for
peas need not manure in hill for
pickles.

Paine's CELERY
Compound
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The fortunes and evils of dyspepsia and
indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptic's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; il opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:-
" 1t gives me great pleasure to testify to the
merits Of Paine's Celery Compound. can
candidly and honestly say 1t Is the best medi-
cine IN the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
was so run down that I could hardly walk
without help. used two bottles of Paine's
Celery Compound and got better almost from
the first dose, and have had no use for medi.
cine since. was completely cured.''

The question ia often asked says the

being supplied. Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawhs turn red
on boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is IN
iron compound in the lower state Of
oxidation. which boiling oxidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair is
said to owe its brilliance to iron exist
ing in the higher oxidized state, and
by means of reducing agents. such as

may be modified. In short, oxygen is
