Steel for the benefit of her servants and in which regular services have been held for at least two genera tions. Brother Co wall was himself a slave and yet such was his char acter and gifts as a preacher of the gospel that he was allowed special privileges during the war and was sent to preach wherever his fel low servants were employed. He preached the funeral sermons ot each ot the ministers who aided in his ordination.

Talk With a Cattle KlMff. I St. Lsw Pot-Iitich. fVl T T AiMinirtnn nno nf tin largest cattle-raisers or tne ouiu West, is in tho city and is stopping at the Southern hotel. In conver sation with a reporter this morning on the subject of the stock-raising msiness in Texas, he said : "Prices are a little down this ear. but we never complain. Last m . . a. m J ear our beer cattle urougui irom tn Hi A rwr head. Now we are selling at abont an average of fSO.77 said the reporter. L"In talking about it vre generally y that it is in the region about GainsviIIe, Texas, out it is not, oe-e-jiiBA iia kpn our cattle iust across the Red River in the Indian Territory. Th herd occupies a territory of about 775 square miles, partly in the Chickasaw nation anu parny in the territory of tho Kiowas, Comaches and Apaches. It is hardly lawful for white ieople to to over into the Indian Territory, but we have an understanding with the Indians and they never trouble us, and we are not molested by any other authority. Our head ouarters is now about CO miles Southeast of Fort Sill. There are ranches on all sides of us. My brother. Washinctou Addington. Is located just west of me. He has 23,000 cattle, E. C. Saggs ou the 6ther side has 18,000 and Stones have a large henl in that locality also.7 "How many have you 011 your ranch I "About 53,000. We are selling he steers all the time, but the herd continues to increase very mnidlr. as tho cows are never killed or driven away so long as they are young. The steers at three years old are ready for mar ket, and we seldom keep any num ber of them over till unother year. ,We can get about CJ cents a iound, livo weight, for them at Gaines ville, a drive of about 75 miles from the ranch. We sometimes drive to Hopewell, Kansas, a distance of about ICO miles.7; "What breed of cattle are raised mostly in that country P "The long-horned Southern Tex as cattle mostly, but we are con stantly introducing new blood and experimenting on different breeds. The Uersfords and the Durhams have been Introduced quite largely and with sOme success. The long horn is the steer for that country, however. lie can livo through a hard winter and come out as fly as a young colt in the spring, aud by the first of June he is as fat as butter, and ready for market. If bred too highly they can't stand the winter well and they will come out too poor in the spring. The well bred cattle are too tender and sometimes sicken on the drive. I find that from one-quarter to oue half Hereford with the long horn Southern Texas makes about the best suited to that climate. Those long-horns were introduced on the coast by the Spanish 200 or 300 years ago. The climate suits them exactly and they flourish down there.77 How does your Southwestern beef compare in the market with our Illinois aud Missouri beef V "Last year we sold within a half a cent of it on tho New York mar ket; at preseut there is a greater difference. We might place it from three-quarters to a cent. Rut we never look at a trifle like that. It dout count much in our business. Our profits are qnite satisfactory, Mtii AW " "About what is the estimated cost of raising cattle m your lo- ilftij u V I -aM Ttol.l. 1 a I.eaJ will pay all the expense.

I went down to Texas 15 years ago and went to vork ainoni?' the ranchers. In a short time I won the confidence of one of them to such an extent that he sold me 1,200 cows ou a credit. I naid him off in four years and Lad the herd clear. Now I have a pretty good henl of cattle, and I am doing pretty well." A Dog SalclSe. The eloquent believers in the reason cf animals have been sea sonably reinforced by Mr. Garret Broadhead, of Delaware, who says that his dog, rather than work a churning machine had com mitted suicide. It is circumstan tially declared that the animal de liberately hanged himself in the presence of witnesses with tho rope attached to the tread. At any oth er time of j ear this remarkable oc currence would attract attention and comment, but just now it lacks the seasonable nnd bounding ex aggeration which alone can give it prominence. Had the dog hanged Mr. Garret Broadhead and family, now, there would be something worth talking about. Kcale for Mpeakrr. Rale'vh Obnenrer.l That friends of the rival candi dates for tho Speakership should talk too much is to be expected; but we are sorry to see that Mr. Carlisle himself is quoted as say. ing "that if an open ballot is taken in the Democratic caucus he will not have the least fear of defeat. Tho secret ballot if adhered to will be no inconsiderable element in Mr Randall's favor, as there is no doubt in that event Randall will get some votes which he could not otherwise obtain." X If it be true that Mr. Carlisle has made this ungenerous remark we should think that ho would not find much favor among the mem bers. It is to be supposed that every Democratic member will have the manhood to do what he thinks right. We hope Mr. Car lisle is incorrectly reported. He has been our first choice for the Speakership, but if he begins by belittling his peers on the floor in that way, he is not going to fill the Speakership to our satisfaction. Our preference is for a Southern mon a low tariff Democrat. If Mr. Carlisle should not do, why not Gen. Scales ? Pattlag a Hn&kes Head la III" Wlft'a Coffee. - A curious case of attempted pois oning has occurred near New Al bany, Iudiana. Richard Diver, who lives some miles iu the coun try, becamo infatuated with a wo man named Svlvia Lambert. Diver is married, aud his wife is said to be au intelligent and sensioie lauy. nu-pr intrtvlncpd the Lambert wo man into the household, giving her the position of housekeeper, one is is said to be facinating and un scrupulous, and did not hesitate to accept and reciprocate uivera at tentions. For a while everything went well, but at length it began to be noisexl arouud that she was Diver's paramour. At this he be came desperate, and, as is alleged, determined to free himself from his wife and marry Sylvia Lambert. The two concocted a scheme to take tho life of the patienfand wronged wife. Diver caught a snake, known as the water mocca sin, severed its head, and his par amour as is charged, dropped the head into a cup of coffee and gave it to Mrs. Diver. Fortunately she discovered the plot, and thus saved her life, and had her husband and he housekeeper arrested on tho charge of attempted murder. The couple are now in jail. Dr. Mayo ou Southera Education. Prof. A. D. Mayo has returned to Boston from a trip in the South ern States. He says there has been an educational revival in most of them, particularly the Virginias and Carolina.. The grants made by philanthropists for the estab lishment of schools for colored young people have been wisely util ized and have had an important iu flucuce. Young men and women educated in the normal schools have done effective work as teach ers among their own people. The Virginia colleges supply the great er uumbei of the male white teach ers. The oiuen teachers are largely drawn from families impov erished by the war. There are, of course, many drawbacks, arising in country districts from the sparse population and the poverty of the people, and in tho cities and vil lages from the decided objection of the people to be taxed for educational-purposes! Prof. Mayo sug gests a consolidation of the South ern colleges and normal academies; the establishment of normal schools in thb States not yet provided with them; the establishment of indus trial schools; national aid, either in the shape of grants or loans. A Cape May Dandy. The chief dandy at Cape May changes his suits five or six times a day. Early in the morning he mils nn n. mrdnrov coat and knee breeches, or knickerbockers, such asabicyclenderwears,auaiuwnicu hetakesa walk. .On his return he dresses for breakfast in a suit not able for wide checks and loud yel low. At bathing time he saunters down to the beach in a pajania that is to say, a loose sack and wide trousers made of light colored stuff, girlishly trimmed, and nor mally worn in one's bed room. His advent in the Kinds in such a rig astounds those who have not become accustomed to him, and alarms them a little, too, because they get the idea at first that he is a lunatic. It might Ikj expected that he would be still more remark able when attired for the water, but here appears a disappointment. He appears in a plain and conven tional batjiiugsnit of loose flannel, because he knows that his attenu ated form could not stand a com parison with those robust fellows wimhathA in scant tizhts. Iu the nftmnon lift exhibits himself, for lnnnirincr or drivincr. in a costnme nf white, and in the nniuT( himself into a seeminzly impossible black frock coat and iarir tronsera.

Thomson in his new treatise on natural philosophy is led, by a consideration of the neces sary order of cooling and consoli dation of .the earth., to infer that the interior of our world is not, as commonly supposed, all liquid, with a thin solid crust of from 30 toj 100 miles thick, but that it is on the whole more rigid than a con tinuous solid globe of glass of the same diameter, and probably more ?

It looas like a chimney with windows iu it. A barrel barricades the basement area. On the first floor a cobbler has his shop. He has a three-foot show window and and a two foot doorway, and as he sits ou his bench no one can pass him unless he draws his elbows in. He says that he rents two floors, meauiug two rooms, and (that the second floor js now to let. j There is a staircase at the back of this singular house, but the upper floors are reached ! by doorways in the wall leading from an adjacent lodg ing bouse. An artist might hunt through London and Paris without finding anything more picturesque in its way than the immediate neighborhood of this queer build ing. There are behind itim Cham bers street one-story shfeds, two story shanties, tall city tenements, and a house with a curious hang ing addition on the end ojT it high in air, and everywhere eery foot of room is made the mostjof. Durham Geta a tton Factory. Plantl J For several years we Have per sistently urged upon our people the importance of establishing a cotton factory in Durham, and we are proud to see a movement in that direction taking tangible shape. Mr. James H. Ruffin, a son of Col. Thoina8liuffin,since his graduation at Chapel Hill some years! ago, has been in a cotton factory north and is therefore thoroughly conversant with all the minutia. He was In Durham last week talkjiig cotton factory to our people. Tie agita rimi nf the ouestion met with a j favorable response. A subscrip i tion was started and quite a large amount realized. One gentleman took $10,000 worth of ) stock. Enough stock has already been taken to guarantee a successful prosecution of the worki This is what we have long needed. -Besides being of vast benefit to the town, it is bouud to prove a payr ing invef tment to the stockholders.

A report has been received at the t State Department", at Wash ington, containing the results of observations and experiments made by Dr. Freixe,! a Brazilian I physi cian, who believes that be has dis covered the cause j of yellow fever in a microscopic parasite found in the blood of yfellow fever patients. Experiments made by injecting this! infected blood into the veins of rabbits and guinea pigs proved its virulence by producing death, the blood of the inoculated animal showing the same charac teristics as that from the. original yellow fever victim. The , doctor's experiments seem to prove, also, that these parasitic germs of death survive in the soil where the sub ject pf the fever is buried, and from thence may again contaminate liv ing organisms, which would appear to favor cremation rather than burial in the case j of yellow fever victims. :'" "... . j ; ; ' Two Thunderbolts Convert Sinner. Up in Houston county, Gat, is a young man who; has heretofore borne the reputation of being the wickedest fellow j in the section where he lived. A very interest ing revival took place not long ago and much interest was manifested. One) of the ministers approached the young man and asked if he had a Bible and he replied negatively. The good man advised him to buy one and take it home and read it. He said he had no money to throw away on Bibles. Then the t minis ter offered to give- him one and he refused to take it. j ne went home and repaired to his farm, f While in hc field aii angry rain 'cloud came.
