the preparations were completed.
As I before stated, the hut stood
close to the stream, and from the
rear the bank sloped abruptly to
wards the water. The American for
the first time seemed affected. When
the men fell uuder our shots, there
whs not the slightest change percep
tible in his voice; but the few words
he fcpoke to his dog were broken aud
singularly soft. I'll be sworn there
were tears in the man's eyes. Every
thing beiug at last prepared, he spat
upon tho dog's muzzle, held his head
close to his cheek for a moiiint or
two, and theu pressed him quickly
out of the hole and away down the
shelviug bank.
We listened anxiously for a time,
andtheD there arose a wild jabbering
for a minute, the next instant we de
tected a yelp of pain.

The American's sortie, I believe,

the hut without caring to shelter

The Republican party has departed
so far from the true Constitutional
paths of the fathers that they are ut
terly incapable of even understanding
what those principles are that give
safety to the citizen, perpetuity to ci
vil freedom, and local self govern
ment to the States. In France, in
the last century,they talked of liberty
J 1 i 1 S Tfc
w;nen tne streets 01 iraris were run-
mng with blood, and the most cruel
ana remorseless tyrants were wreax-
uig weir vengeance upon uuo nuy
hated. So now, in this land of the
upon those they
free, the Radicals prate of a pure bal-
lot when thev are constantly, pertin -
acionsly, deliberately corrupting it;'
and tlk of liberty and law flippantly
and eloquently, when they are des- j
troying the one and trampling the :
other under their remorseless feet.

A Productive County.
Rev. Dr. Pritchard in a recent let
ter to the Biblical Recorder thus
speaks of Mitchell county :
"I have been in twenty two States
of the Union and have seen no where a
county in which a bv ng can be made
so easily a3 in Mitchell county. I
have been in Buncombe, Madison
Henderson, Wilkes, Burke, McDow
ell and other mountain counties of
North Carolina. I have also travel
ad through the mountainous sections
Virginia Maryland and Pennsylvania,
and I am veiy sure 1 have never seen
so fine a mountain region as the coun
ty affords. The soil is marveDoulv
rich, and I would want no better fer
tilizer for many of the eastern farms
than the natural soil of this county ;
even the very tops of the mountains
are as rich as the alluvial deposits of
Red River or the Tr nity or Brazos
bottom of Texas. I s.nv lands on
which had been grown, I was told,
fifty bushels of corn to the acre, cul
tivated exclusively with the hoe. Bro
J. W. Ayers, who has a fine farm on
the Roan Mountain, has said that he
can pick out ten acres of his land,
and if a man will cultivate it as he
prescribes, without a pound of fertili
zer, and he does not make a thousand
bushels of corn on the ten acres, he
will give the lands.
And there is water Avrvvrrlinvi . if
reallv somnd in math t
tliemore water I found branches,
creeks or small rivers are to be found
every few hundred yards, and fine na
tive grasses, affording good pastur -
age and abundant. I saw boss fat
enough to slaughter, running in the
woods, and the cattle were generally
fat, but of inferior breeds."

Bees.
Any one in the country, however
limited his space, can keep bees at a
ccn nderable profit, for it must be re
collected that they have the whole re
gion round theui to roam il and free
ly forage for honey, no matter to whom
the lands belonj;. Thus those who
possess the fewest acres are just as
well off for be i pasture as those who
possess th e most.
Think of the hundreds of fruit trees
within a circuit of a few miles around
nearly every one's habitation, whose
uuinftio is early spring blossoms in
vite all the bees of the neighborhood
to come and s-p their nectar freely

miu wuiiom price, men, there are
thousaOds of wild flowers ; and soon
following, millions of white and red
clover heads ; the blossoms of grain,
of peas, of beans, and other things
during the summer, which ihe eye
of man dons not note, but the acuter
one of the bees does.
Then in autumn there are fields of
buckwheat, and wild flowers still lin
ger in abundance. What treasures
all these combined are for this highly
intelligent and ceaselessly laboring
li: tie insect to4draw from for the gratifi
tion and sustenance of man, the sweet
treasures of all of which except for
these busy little creatures would go
to watite.
As soon as cold weather has set in,
