The utmost sensation was produced in Paris this morning by the intelligence that Ocneral Ney, Due d' Elchlrgcn, had been found dead yesterday at Chatttllori, one of I.U estates. It appears that on Jlonday af-j ternoou the General left hjs home, in the Rue de Moncean. without saying where he! was going v In the evening his wife, alarm- out any news, - n was oniy last evening maij ed at 1m prolonged absence, informed the j fi9tlng wUh eit during the months of Prefecture of PoHce; but te aniiy of the M'arch and AprillofleVe year.

The disappearance of the Due d' Elchingen had already led to the most extraordinary rumors. Some thought that he had been murdered, others that some i mysterious duel had taken place for it will be remembered that the General figured as a witness at the Woestyncj trial. iNeither explanation now appears I probabllc. The Duke has been found with his jewellery and and purse untouched, and the only1, person who could have borne him a grudge is said to be out of thes country. Immediately on the receipt of the sad news,the chief of the detective police went to CHatillon for thc purposu of beginning an inquiry iuM the af fair. The body of the General was; placed in a room on the ground floor above the place where it was discovered, and vyill, in all likelihood, be brought to Paris to day.. The reasons of the suicide, if such it is, are still shrouded m mystery.; General ey, j who commanued a brigade! of Curirassiers in the army of Paris, was only forty-six years oi age. lie was extremely weattny and thoroughly enjoyed life, nor had he j ever known a care, except thc transient an noyance caused by the trial to which I have already referred.

Evans descrfbes in the Raral Home the following good method of pruning and training the vine: " ; '- . -As the method or plan of training the vine has much to do with the Jwny it is pruned or trimed, I will say our style is a modified Fuller process. We, the firsf year, run up one cane; the second year run up twot which in the Full we cut back to two or three eyes each above the surface of the soil. The following season we let only two canes grow, fruiting them this year. : Ve use poles or stakes up to' the .Fail of this year or the early Spring followingfcwhen we mat np lour trellis of three" wireS, the first oalSJniJfn t he:groundand the rest -or 1 iiiefiesptfivTlielwi) c&lfesof last year ac now made to act as arms,thus they heing wound around and tied to the lower wire. We now let all the shoots grow, pinching back every other one to the sec ond wire. In the Fall the longest ones, or those permitted to grow unchecked, are cut back to within two eyes of the arm, and the others permitted to grow unchecked the following season as far as the top of the wires. One cane is also permitted to grow from each cane which was cut back, these being for the fruiting canes the following tear the others being cut back in thc Fall to two eyes, the same as the other canes the pro ceeding Fall. If the vine be very short jointed we have found that fruiting canes from every other eye was too much of a drain on the vine, especially with young vines, and we then use only every third eye; or to make it more plain, we trv to leave from 4 to G inches space between thc fruitingcanes, A.lKHit every fourth or fifth year we have found it a good plan to renew thc arms whiclt; is readily done by permitting a young shoot to grow near the base of the vine on each side for one or two seasons before it is wanted, when thc old arm is cut away and the young one substituted." ; Ax Extensive Farming Enterprise. A correspondent ot a western newspaper de scribes a farm near Fargo, Dakota, embrac ing about 100,000 acres, owned by half a dozen capitalists. It is divided into sec tions of 20,000 aeres, each section having a superintendent and assistants, and being managed with'thc most exact system. All the latest improvements in farming have been introduced, including the telegraph and telephone coannnnieating with differ ent parts of the vast area. Last year 13,000 acres of wheat were planted and harvested, and tins year 20,000 acres were planted. The yield has been 23 bushels to the acre, bringing $1 per bushel, two thirds of which is net profit The chief superintendent has been shipping East by way of Duluth 20" car loads of wheat daily. lie expects to have in due time 40, 000 acres under cultivation, and to bring his annual production up to a round 1,000,000 bushels. There arc many cultivated farms in the territory o 1000 to 2000 acres, and Dakota promises to be one of the greatest wheat producing regions in the entire West. The placer 'mines or washings of North Carolina have yielded 1,000, 000 worth of gold, a large part of it coining from the Brindletown and Johns Uiver mines. -The Ore Knob works, in Ashe, produce $1,000,000 nou nds f pitr copper. -The bulk of mica used in the world goes from Mitchell. -Chromic iron, valuable in thc manufacture of pigments is found in Watauga. -Manganese, marketable at good prices, abounds in Caldwell and Mitchell. -Two hundred years uo-o, Indians abstracted kaolin, or por celain clav from the old mica mines in as Mitchell, where it had been secreted bv the ancient mound building work ers of those mines, and packed it to the sea coast and sold it to European traders.

A Terrible Combat v - -1 r " " ." aaaaaaaa . ' . The other night Drs. Snort and Bil kins. two of 1 he oldest physicians in the country, met at a hotel in Cleve land. They wero on a journey and their meeting was accidental. ? j "We must occupy the same room," insisted Dr. Snort. "It has been so long since I met an" old-time doctor that the occasion shall retain pleasant memories." i . s "Nothing would give roe greater pleasure," answered Dr. Bi I k ins. "It is! pleasant to meet a genuine, physi- tf- - , cian. . t . y The two old men were shown to a mmhere, built an addition to air acquaintance begun when Ohio was not regarded as the great Siate of presidential produc tion. There are a great many tricks in the medical profession now," said Dr. Snort ; "these upstart doctors are kill ing the. people off at a shameful rate." j "It wasn't so in our day," replied Dr. Bilkins; "a boy nineteen years of age wasn't engaged as a family phy sician then." "No ; nor there wasn't that jealousy existing between doctors that you find now. It's all right to talk about en terprise and young blood, but a doc tor should not be too enterprising.". After talking until the fire had burned out, the two friends retired. 'Speaking about young doctors," said Dr. Snort, "I have always held that the best physician is be who has the age. It is all practice any way, and 1 bel ieve that a fifty -year-old doctor is more reliable thjn one forty-five years old." f . "Yes," said Bilkins, but after they pass fifty it doesn't make much differ ence." "Yes, it does. A fifty-five-year-old doctor is taturally more reliable than one fifty years old." "Now, here," said Bilkins, "you say that just because I am fifty and you are about fifty-five " "No, I didn't think of the difference in our ages. However, in our case it is different." "Don't try to crawl out of it, doc tor, for you meant it as an insinuation. You can't pull wool over my eyes, for I can doctor the life out of you any time." "No doubt of it. Let's go to sleep." "Sleep, the duce," said Bilkins, turning over. "Stir a man up and then tell him to go to sleep ! I want you to understand that I stand higher as a physician than you do." "No use to talk that way when you know that I can doctor the socks off yen?" aThat?s the trouble. You can doc tor the socks off anybody. I suppose you are not aware that Busley tells it all around the neigborhood that yon killed his wife." "See here," snarled Snort, "you are getting too infernal insolent for an old man. I never intended to say anything about it, but I know one thing concerning your medical career that is a blot on the profession. You poisoned Glaxon's child out of pure ignorance." "You are a rheumatic old liar," ex claimed Bilkins, springing up. "You are a wheezing old scoundrel." "You old carrion crow," yelled Snort, "I wouldn't take that from my father." "Take your hands pff. I'll punch the life out of you. Take that," howl ed Bilkins, as he struek the wall with ll 13 fist. Then they grappled and began a mouth-to-niouth engagement. They roiled out of bed, got up, braced, grappled and fell again. Finally the night porter broke open the door, rushed in and litlhe gas. Dr. Snort stood in one corner of the room, hold ing a chair. Dr. Bilking stood on the bed with a boot in his hand. ."Drive that madman out," exclaim ed Snort. "He has been trying to murder me." "He is an old liar," vociferated Bilkins ; "he tried to poisoned me. Shoot him. Call the police and let them kill him." Several mcif, disturbed by the noise, entered therooi, and the two old friends vre compelled to occupy dif ferent aoartmeats. Tho affair has created a profound sensation, and warrants of arrest have been issrfed for the old-time pliycwiu, CTfl- JanU Leader. llancoek Makes a Speech. - Gen.

In Jackson county yesterday, JessoX?ook, accom panied by his 14 year old daughter," went into the woods to split ils. -Cook told his daughter that if she did not split as many rails ashe did in tho day's work he would kill her. After a hare! day's work the daughter ascertained that she had not split quite as many rails as her father. Fearing t he u n merciful pa nish ment to. w h icU: she had frequently been subjected, she diel not go home. Her father hunted her up and flailed her so un mercifully with a rail thatrshe died, soon afterward. Cook attempted to escape, but was placed in jail. A Hen's "Brood" of Dogs. A friend of mine has a female greyhound and litter of young ones. Now that is nothing cxtrordinary, but that she should be assisted in her maternal du ties by an old hen is, I think, a very unusual thing. In the kennel with her is a hen, which has taken to tho dogs in a most affectionate way, sitting in the corner with two or three of them constantly under her wing; and what is still more extraordinary they know her call, for if they stay away she cackles and they come back.
