Then the retraxit is in order, and after that the honorable adjustment. The whole business is methodical, to say the least of it. It is like a bill in equity that has nine parts, and there is the accusa tion, and the joinder, and re joinder, and surrejoinder, and various reflections, and butters and rebutters and surrebutters, and other' mysteries. Infact. considering the funny and fan tastic, and harmless character of most of the modem duels. I think that' a justice's court would be the best tribunal wherein1 to settle such matters, I speak from some experience for the first J ever had was in a justice's couct, where I was employed to defend a man who was sued if or , thirty dollars worth of slander, because he had accused a neighbor of stealing his hog and re-marking him with a swallow fork in the left ear. It was strictly an affair of honor and had all its various parts and mysteries after the iniiirlftr r-ininf?r mill yinird I ioinrler and the butter and re- i r butter and swore butter, the jury retired to a log and in course oi time Drougnt in a verdict. "We the jury find for the plaintiff ten dollars and fif ty cent for his character, unless the defendant will take back what he said."- I have always thought that this was verdict and if ever any challenges me,. I shall to leave the matter to a a justice court. They man a chance without his having to practice with a pistol at a mark i on a tree. It is strange tning now a man can hit the bulls eyeon a tree every pop, but can't hit a man one time out of gye and yet be per fectly cool and calm and serene all the time. There must be some peculiar uinerence De a just lunatic propose Hury in Kive a "A kick just horo hurts hrnor more Than deeper woun.ls wheu kicked before." This locates the seat of honor in the back ground where we will leave it. Honor is like me onaineiion mat taKes any color that suits its surround ings. Aaron Burr challenged Hamilton in order to preserve his .honor and yet he was a traitor au enemy of Washing ton, a notorious libertiee a bully and boasted of his armours and his intrigues. If a man is going to fight for Ids honor he should be sure that he has got some and that he has not tarnished it by his own dis honorable conduct. If a man is thief, or a swindler, or an extortioner, or a- libertine, .he has uo riht to challenge a man for calling him a liar, even though in that cass he was not a liar. His honor was lost in other vices, for honor is a very broad quality,and does not split up in convenient parcels. It makes up the complete gentle man in all his conduct. When a man can look his fellow-men iu the face and say whom have I defrauded, or whom have T wronged,or from whom shave I taken a bribe, then let him fight for his honor, if he wants to. Oridinarily, if a man fights a duel about a matter that is per sonal to himself, he does it out of regard for public opinion, for no two men would fight a duel if they were living on an island, by themselves. And this proves the duelist to be a moral coward, for he has more regard for other people than he has foi himself, or his family, or his friends or his Maker, lie knows that .a fight proves noth ing, and yet he deliberately lets tne public opinion out weign hi3 wife and her chil dren, and puts his soul in easy reach, of the devil.

The Salisbury Watchman says- one man has sold, in that I place, during ilie past ten days, over two hundred muskmelous and watermelons.

Editor : In previous ar ticles I have spoken of some of the most prominent breed of cattle and of I what I thought was the best for the farmer. In this article I " propose to give the plan by which to start a herd and then I shall call upou each sub-Alliance to help start a herd iu this county.

At rinse I nai u lie iuibshbiiu it, uto- For a farmer to start a herd on the cheapest plan is to select the best cows of the ordinary farm stock, say ten in number, and then select a pure blooded yearling bull of the Devon breed. The next season you will probably have ten calves, half of which will prob ably be heifers, save these and geld the bulls at the age of three or four weeks. When the heifers are two yers old, breed them to their sire, who will then be fonr years old. The female produce of this union is bred to the same bull, and this continued to the fourth generation. This last get will inherit fifteen sixteenths of the blood of the sire. Now seleect the heifers showing the greatest constitutional vigor and pro ceed as before. By this means a young farmer may breed up hia cattle to a very high grade, ' something that he will be " proud of and for which he may demand the very best prices. A. herd thus treated will grade as follows : The first generation will be half blood grades ; the second generation will be three-quarter blood ; the third, seven-eighths bood, and the fourth.fifteen-sixteenths blood. This last grade will compare well with lull blood. Should you discoverany weak ness iu constitutional vigor of the progeny, or that the proge ny is not improving in all de sirable qualities, select another sire, combining the same quali ties as the discorded sire. This departure is breeding in Hue. Do not listen to apy senti mental talk about incestnous breeding. This is not a crime among the lower animals. It is natures plan. This plan con centrates the good-qualities of the male in the herd and im presses the female, so the of ten- er she is bred to (he same male, the more will she be im breed with the blood of the sire of her progeny, through the inter-circulition of the blood between the dam and the factus. To the sub-Alliances of Wil son county : In order to grade up our cattle it is only necessa ry for each . Alliance to take hold of this important matter. Rock Ilidge Alliance has com menced and several have sub scribed for a bull. We expect to get a full-blood Devon bull this fall and let him have the range of the neighborhood. How many Alliances will go into this arrangement ? Will the Secretary or President of each sub-Alliance ii Wilson county bring this subject be fore his Alliance at its next meeting ? I am persuaded that all that is needed is to make an effort and we will have a grand start this fall. There are somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty Alli ances in the county. Now let each Alliance decide which breed it prefers and then make up the money to purchase a bull. It will take about foO.OO to get a two year old Lull of first quality. If we order ten or twenty at the same time for the county, I think they might be got for less. How many Alliauces will go iuto this plan or breeding up their cattle? If each member will pay a small amount, say from two to five dollars a piece, each Alliance in the county can get a bull. Another advantage in several Alliances ordering a bull, is that when our Alliance has used its bull one or two seasous,they cau exchange bulls and thus breed in him aud not in-and-in breeds. This will save money, by exchanging in stead of buying a new one. What say the Alliance in this county ? Let us hear from each Alliance in the county that will go into this co-opera tive plau to improve our cattle at a small cost, through the An vance at once. Bro. Secretary, please explain the plau here suggested to your Alliance and take the name of each member who will go into this grand work, aud if you don't get enough names at $1.00 apiece to get a bull lor your neighborhood, then as many as will make up th balance. Re port your-success through the advance and have your list and report at the next comity Alii ance meeting. By co-operating we must work. It is by the co-operative power of our dollar with that of another, that many has its influence, ho we must, co operate and bring our littles together and grand results may be accomplished. By this same system of co operation each Alliance can, at a very little cost, to each indi vidual, buy a male hog and im prove their hogs and make from a third to a half more meat to the feed than they are making. So in raising our mules, our county Alliance can not do bet ter than to co-operate aud buy one or two jacks and commence to raise our muJogf at a cost to each farmer of not more than 25.00 to 35.01 while we are paying from 135.00 to 165.00. W hile the mule probably cost 25.00 to raise him on the farm it goes in such a way that the farmer never feels it, but if he buys him and sells cotton to pay for him, he rarely ever gets ever it. Infact just such a trade has put many a farm under mortgage, and this mort gage will wear the man, land and mule out and still grow bigger and stronger every year. In fact the older one of these things get the more powerful and vicious it gets, until it la a thousand times worse than a tornado.. It ' takes land aud every thing else before it. Will the Alliances fa.il to co operate and thiu put them selves iu Hie track of one of these strange things called mortgage? If so you are a gone sucker. Occasionally. NAUTICAL LIFE.
