Cewresalaa f m gnih Carolina 31 aa Was Killed Three Wtvss. Ah account of Stephnoy Bailey' in human butchery nod burning of bis wife, and of Bailey's subsequent death ln the Berkeley, 8. C, county jiil from, the ef fect of wound inflicted by ' himself in an attempt to commit suicide, ha . been published. Before be died, Bailey made a confession to the editor of tho Berkeley Gatettt, making bimwlf out to be thrieo a murderer, and a 'veritable Bluebeard. The confession wasmado inthe presenco of Jailer Harris. At that time tho mar deret was perfectly rational, but po.bly felt the death-chill and concludca to tin tosom himself before it wa forever too late. The following is Bailey' . confes sions "My name is Stephncy JBailey. I am about ?0 year old. I have lcen warried three limes. I killed my ' first wife with club, n-.r name was Cat h eririe, 1 buried her in tho garden, aud iter a while it wa found our, and the people dug her op and buried her in the graveyard. She had ix children for me. My second wife's name wa Mry. I killed her with a brick by bitting lur in the head; I will not tell what I did wi;h her body. ' She had one child for me, a boy. Hi namei 8abey. I don't know where he is. My third wife' namo was Bailie. My wife and I had not been on good term for three or four weeks. That day I laid in wait for her in a fr.ot path, and as the came along I bit her in the head with an ax and killed her, and dragged her body in the bushes until that night Then I sent my boy to the yard for a wheelbarrow, and wheu be came I sent him back to the houe. Tbea I put tbe body in the wheelbarrow and carried it about a mile, and put it in tbe furnace. At sunrise I started tbe fiie. and about 8 or 9 o'clock it was found out. Bailie had seven children forme." It ap pear that these previous butcheries of Bailey's were known to those who were in authority at tbe time, but th:t time til during the darkest days of South Carolina's history, during the days soon after the War,' and nothing was ever done with . the recently cnfranchiiu i elector. In making this confession, Bul ky evinced no repentance for hi inhu man murders, and, so hard had be be come in crime, that he had forgotten the details and date of hi former butcher ies. He wa buried on the town com' mons, near the graves of Scott, the exe cuted murderer, and Giarrctti, tbe murderer-suicide. TKRBIBLB EXPLOSION. The boiler in the Kirby house, Mil waukee, Wis., which is quite close to tbe office of the Sentinel, exploded, knocking the rear of the hotel building entirety out. Several girls working iu the ml office were slightly injured. As fon as the steam had cleared away, a great ragged rebt was seen in the walls of the Kirby house, abutting on the alley, wbcre the screams of women mingled with the sound, of breaking glass and falling bricks. Mis Langly, employed in the composing room of the 4WW, told a very good story of the affair: -1 was alone in the composing room with a Joung boy, when a terrible ni iM: w as card. I was lift- d off my feet und nl tHe same time every window in the sky light wa battered. Tbe plastering fell all aronnd me, but not where I stood. The boy cried, "an earthquake 1" I was too startled to realize what it wns, but made my way down (tain a quickly at possible. The force waa so great that many of the case in the composing ioo:n were ,pied.,n Mrs. Gage, the fcoii I cook of the hotel, was killed, and fivi r.il girls injured, who may die from theii wounds.

' ' - ; " Four thousand acres in cultivation is larger than DO per cent of the farms in Georgia, including every bit of land in the trapt It Is a question whether there are 10 plantations in Georgia that con tain 4,000 acres, And yet a Mississippi planter cultivates that number. Gov. Alcorn's place it admitted to bi perhaps the finest in tbo southwest. A man of large wealth, be farms in tbe most liberal manner. Gov. Lowry said the other day, speaking of him and his plantat:on, there is nothing like it anywhere in the coun try. It Is more like an English baronial seat than the river homo of a southern planter. It is a lordly place, with every thing on tbe most magnificent scale. The house is a perfect palace, built for comfort and entertainment'and furnished with everything that a refined and cul tivated taste could suggest or demand. The plantation is on the same magnifi cent scale, and if it could be arranged it would be a treat to any one to spend a day npon that domain. the gin-bouse on tbe Alcorn place is about a costly as a mansibn on Peach tree street in Atlanta, and it is estimated that it could not be replaced for less than $30,000. It Is necessarily obliged to le large, for within a very few months 8,000 b .les of cottoa have to be marketed at that house. These large places are only possible with great wealth, and this char acterizes Gov. A'.corn and others who run them, but it shows what can be done on the river bottom, or in the "Delta coun try," as the MisSissippinns are pleased to call it. Stock raising and grass culture are carried on to a very large extent. The matter is in its infancy, but already there are stock farms where there are 00 dam for mules. These marcs are worked to make the corn crop and . in harvesting the hay for the entire place. This work is not injurious and adds con siderable to the profit of stock raising by making the dam earn her salt iu many ways. For the purpose of raising mu'es, the half Perchcron mare if said to be the bcit. The finest pair ot mules seen here were bred from tbi stock. They were strong and powerful, and had but little of the heavy clumsiness character istic of the Percheron stock. With hay, the Bermuda seems to be tfab favorite. It is regularly cultivated, and the yield is proline. During the past few months nay has been very scarce, and the price consequently very high, and the stockmen have seen the wisdom of raising large quantities of it. In a year or mora there will not be a bale of western hay imported in Mississippi. Tbe stock farm are not devoted exclu sively to horse and mules, though these are produced more numerously than any other variety, but on nearly all iho large place you see fine cattle. The Jersey is the most common, though the Durham and the Holstein are frequently met with. 1 he advantage the Jersey his over the other breeds In the South wo tbe readi ness vith which it sdapted itse lf to its new surroundings. With the Holsteina, they were good breeds to have on rich bottom lands wbcre food grew luxuri antly, but for upland places, where scow has to knock about right smart for her living, the Holsteiu was not a success. It is a lazy animal; it does not know how to provide for itself, aod unless every thing i in tbe greatest abundance about it, it will not thrive without feediug and constant watching. It is superior to the Jersey in that it is an excellent bicf cattle, and the cow at the same time are by, no means poor milker. Tbe most popular eattie are tbe Devon, for working purpose. . One of the beat specimen of winter provender in Mississippi ia mixed clover, which grows a well at it doc in the best section of Kentucky. The planter put it in freely, and they are rewarded with a splendid a crop a one could de sire. In the spring and summer no let ter grazing cair be found than that af forded by the prairie bind, snd cattle Mn be kept at a nominal ro t in lirtre number. It Is JwmiWe to keep them up in Winter by feeding cured prairie gras to them, but this 1 seldom done unless provender is very scarce. The oilier and finer qualiti. of grots grow too luxuriantly to. make .it crop ever a failnre, and be I a very poor and Indif ferent farmer who fail to bale more thin enough for winter consumption. Mississippi is not solely a cotton pro ducing tlato. It i truo that this season the cotton crop there has !) better tfin t has been in any Southern state. Tke early drought did not affett it, as it did in uenrgia, Alabama and Tcxn con-equally ihe yield was better, and. quality lietter, and,iu every way the crop more ot a si 1 cress. But the corn crop of the state is a large one, and will hereafter grow larger and largt-r. The corn land of Mississippi yield surprisingly.
