Governor Stephens' Rencoutre with Judge Cone in 1843. During Mr. Stephens' congressional service, and pending the campaign of 1845, he returned from Washington to Georgia. He was fresh from the great debates on the acquisition of California and New Mexico as United States Territories, and for having taken against the wishes of a majority of the Southern members, a most prominent part in opposition to such acquisition, he was not with much adverse criticism. Judge Cone, who was at the time one of the leading politicians of Georgia, was particularly severe in his comments upon Mr. Stephens' action, and was reported as having publicly denounced him as a traitor to the South. Hardly had Mr. Stephens reached his home when these and similar reports were converged to him. At it he did not credit them, but as one kind friend after another informed him that Cone called into a traitor and admitted, in the true Southern spirit, that he owed it to himself to demand what is called "satisfaction," the fires of pugnacity in his nature, which are always surrounding, missed up, and he declared that if Judge Cone would admit having called him a traitor to the South he would "slap his face." Not long after this he met the Judge at a numerously attended Wing gath strong men came to his relief. The madman Cone was secured and held fast. Then quickly the wounds which Mr. Stephens had received were examined. It was found that one of them had penetrated to within a sixteenth of an inch of the heart. An intercostal artery had been cut. The doctors declared that he would surely die. Haptily their predictions were not verified. His life was saved by the unremitting care of a surgeon, his devoted friend, who, as good fortune would have it, happened to be in Atlanta at the time. When he recovered, with a magnanimity with which few men are capable even of understanding, he refused to prosecute Cone, and that person, instead of getting his deserts in the dark cell of a state prison, was fined $1,000, and with his "honor vindicated," was allowed to go free. To the day of his death Mr. Stephens spoke of him in terms of consideration and forgiveness. Not long ago, referring to the terrible struggle I have attempted to describe, and showing me the great hole in his mangled hand, he said, with a quiet and far away look in his deep, dark eyes: "Poor Cone! I'm sure hed be sorry if he knew what trouble I have to write with those stiff fingers of mine." —Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. How To Feed Babies. Dr. H. Gibbons Jr., featured at Cooper College Friday evening on baby food, taking the ground that the system of nursing by artificial feed was very instructive to children's health.

What a Woman Knows about California. S.F. Bulletia. In your issue of March 26th, I find title quoted from "The American Yard, which no doubt is all very well may answer for the region in which written, but let your readers bear in that rules for raising fowls that work lently in the Eastern States fail utterly the Pacific Slope, and anyone who attempts to follow such instructions here will come to grief. A knowledge of a successful method of raising fowls in peculiar climate and condition in California what concerns us most, and what the has learned from actual experience, some material cost, is glially given it benefit of those interested. First Begin setting your hens immediately after the first fall rains; say New Chickens hatched thus early are strand and will lay in June. Prepare the which should be sheltered from winds, by folding a grain sack in the of the nest box, over this fine straw dust plentifully with carobic powder will keep the nest clean of vermilion, which is important, as many things eggs fail to hatch, or produce chicks, from the maturity of the hen her eggs sufficiently warm, as the regularly get through the straw and hide boards during incubation. Chicks as soon as the brood is hatchable the mother, and rub their heads and with a salve of equal parts of carobic der and sulphur mixed with lard. They destroy any ice or vermilion upon them the hen thoroughly with carobic powder. How To Feed Babies. Dr H Gilbons Jr. lectured at Cooper College Friday evening on baby food, taking the ground that the system of nursing by artificial diet was very instructive to children's health. He claimed that in San Francisco one death in every 200 was attributable to improper diet and one to every 200 in New York. Taking the average 250, for the United States, he said we have 200-400 infants whose deaths are the result of improper food. For natural food no substitute has yet been found, unless it be cow's milk, though not of course as good, yet answers the purpose. Wet nurses, he thought, were better than nursing on cow's milk. The statistics showed that of 100 children nursed by their mothers 18 per cent had died, while of 100 nursed by nurses 29 per cent had died in the first year. A striking example of the fallacy of the artificial food theory, he said, was turned by a London hospital. Nineteen per cent of those cared for by wet nurses had died, while of those nursed by artificial food 54 per cent had died. Of 100 children nursed by their mothers 63 were healthy, 23 tolerably so and 14 sickly. Of those half nursed 52 were healthy, 16 tolerably so and 32 sickly, whale of 100 children test on artificial food, but 19 were healthy, 26 tolerably so and 61 sickly. A practice injurious to a child's health is, he said, that of nursing immediately after birth; another that of nursing at night, as a child's stomach, as well as an adult's needled tooth. Other food might be added, as this was better than frequent nursing and overloading the stomach. He recommended tasting during diarrhea, instead of cessation of saline, and advised the giving of a drink of hot water before nursing, especially in hot weather. The New Two-Cent Stamp The Postoffice Department has agreed upon the design for the new two-cent postage stamp for first class matter and the work of printing for distribution and sale will shortly be begun. The installation of Washington in paris is the most prominent feature, and half around the top "U.S. Postage" is placed. This is a departure from the present system, where the initials "U.S." are used. At the lower portion of the stamp the words "Two Cents" are situated, divided by the figure 2. The design is conspicuous for its plainness and there is an absence of any decoration not in keeping with the subject. The likeness of Washington has been pronounced perfect by all who have seen it, and it is a copy of the head of the painting in the East room of the President's house. How To Feed Babies.

San Rafael March 28 1883 The Ostrich. A young farmer who lives in County has written to us for advice about ostrich farming. We see an ostrich farming; and do little engage in work of that kind. A farm worked by an ostrich would very remunerative we should prid would be an excellent hand to clear off cobble stones; which he invariably loses when opportunity offers out what has efficiency in ploughing and now Yastet experiment may be worth As soon as a boy grows up as to take use more than to reduce the amount visions in the collar; he is fitted with get away from the farm; and it that an ostrich might be trained to place it taken when young It would so difficult to get him out of bed morning as it is to roose the hoy suppose the inclination to lay down shade during haying time might easily overcome Come to think an ostrich farming isn't too much out after all.

Sick and weak though he was, Alexander H. Stephens could allow no one to speak to him in the fashion described. Judge Cone was a very giant in size and muscular development, yet the frail man whom he addressed with aggravating pointeness, and without insisting a moment, replied: "Pardon me, sir. I have already written you on that subject. I must decline to discuss it further." Am I to take this for your answer? asked Cone, excitedly. "It is the only answer I have to give you, was the calm reply. Then I denounce you as a miserable little traitor, cried Cone, mad with excitement. The last words had hardly left his lips when a light cane, wielded by the quick hand of the man he had insulted, left its red scar across his cheek. Wild with pain and passion, without uttering a word, petrew a keen pointed dirk knife and made one furious tarust at his weak little adversary's heart. Instantly as he did so, however, Stephens, seizing a stout umbrella which he held in his left hand, interposed it as a defense and was able for a moment to hold him at arm's length. The knife tell short of its mark. Once more it was thrust at Stephens, cutting a deep gash in his arm, but reaching no vital point; eighteen times it cut deep into his breast, arms and body, but still he did not fall. Then he could hold out no longer. No courage, no spirit, however firm and myriading, could long withstand such an attack. Cone was determined to finish his work. He threw all his great weight against the umbrella which held him away from the man he intended to kill. It broke; Stephens, half-fainting, fell upon his back. The giant Cone was at his throat in a moment; his head, by a grip of iron, was held against the cruel floor; the keen and blood-dripping knife was held aloft before him ready for the fatal thrust; but still the poor, pale face of the little hero was set and deniant—his black eyes still flashed undauntedly. "Retract, or I'll cut your cursed throat," hissed Cone. "Cut! I'll never retract!" gasped the almost lifeless Stephens. Like a flash the knife came down. With an almost superhuman effort the prostrate man caught it in his right hand. Clean through the muscles, tendons and bones of the hand it cut, then stuck fast and reached no vital part. With desperate strength Cone tried to wrench it free. With a grasp almost of death the horribly mangled and mutilated hand still held it fast. In the struggle Stephens was once more dragged to his feet. The blood was rushing in streams from his many wounds. His hold upon the knife which sought his brave heart began to relax. He was dying. But even when he believed the next moment would be his last feature, and half around the top of U.S. Postage is placed. This is a departure from the present system, where the initials "U.S." are used. At the lower portion of the stamp the words "Two Cents" are situated, divided by the figure 2.

Salt Lake, April 7 — The Mormon Conference continues in session and is unusually well attended. The nullification of the Edmunds law by the Courts has given the Saints fresh courage and the Lord is credited with the whole business. The burden of the Tabernacle speeches is the establishment of the Order of Enoch, plural marriage and the persecution of the Saints. The necessity of obeying the holy priesthood is also more than ever impressed upon their minds. This has been an eventful week in the Moran Endowment-house, where polygamous marriages are solemnized. The greatest number taken through in one day was on Thursday, when thirty-five couples were married. Apostle Smith officiated. Wedding Anniversaries. First ... Paper Wedding Second ...

In February last you kindly referred to the seed of the Cochin China annual vine, which I succeeded in obtaining from that far-off country through the medium of a friend. The seed was distributed gratuitously to nearly 800 persons, with proper direction for its treatment. Among the applicants were people of nearly all nationalities of the Caucasian race, and from all sections of our coast. Some one, it seems to me ought to succeed in bestowing the proper care on the weed, and thus demonstrate whether the wonderful vine can be acclimatized on the Pacific coast, particularly in our lovely California, where some of the most delicate tropical fruit plants have already succeeded. To the credit of our vines and the press generally, who have at heart the interest of the State as their own, I must state that I had hundreds of applications for seed that I could not supply, as the quantity I had gave out in a few days. Those particularly far away were unable to get any, for their applications reached me too late. This vine, in its native state, has been found in altitudes varying from 100 to 3,000 feet above the sea level, producing every where a truly marvellous crop of fruit. It is hardly any doubt that the vine can be do- PACIFIC COAST NEWS. Archie Clarke, who was shot by Charles Anderson in a barroom brawl at Portland two weeks ago, died in St. Vincent's Hospital. Anderson is held to answer before the Grand Jury. George McNutt, a sailor on the American ship Imperial, has been held to answer at Portland in $1000 bail for shooting Alfred Borg; a shipmate, through the shoulder while off Cape Horn. W. H. Terry, who arrived at Portland last summer from Indiana and took up a farm on Cahill's river, W. T., was killed on Thursday week by a tree he had cut falling on him. His wife tried to dig him out, but could not, and then she got a saw and cut the tree in two and carried the body to the house. She sat up with it all night and in the morning took her two children and made her way to the next settlement, two miles distant.

A bill has been introduced in the Senate and was immediately ordered to third reading to prevent any attempt to persuade or represent Jesus Christ by any show, play or dramatic representation, whether free or for an admission, and declares the violation of its provisions a should be sheltered from the cold by folding a grain sack in the bottom nest box, over this fine straw, and carefully with carobic powder. This keeps the nest clean of vermin, also which is important, as many life bears fail to hatch, or produce weakly from the malabsis of the hen to keep it sufficiently warm, as the eggs free-get through the straw and he on the maries during incubation. Take the hen as soon as the brood is hatched from the ear and rub their heads and necks of equal parts of carobic powder sulphur mixed with lard.

H. A. S. RAVEL, March 28, 1883. The Ostrich Among farmer who lives in Clermont has written to us for advice on the otter plumage farming. We never saw them farming, and thus know that it engages in work of that description worked by an ostrich would not be enumerated we should judge. He be an excellent hand to clear the farm like stones, which he invariably swallown opportunity offers, but we doubt ability in ploughing and mating cone. The experiment may be worth trying as a boy grows up so as to be of any more than to reduce the amount of protein in the collar, he is tiled with a desire away from the farm, and it may be an ostrich might be trained to till his it taken when young. It wouldn't be result to get him out of bed in the rug as it is to reuse the loot. And we see the indication to lay down in the during haying time might be more overcome. Come to think, perhaps such farming isn't so much out of place all. Ostrich is not a native of Austria as you are apt to suppose from a slightity in autography, but claims Africa native habitat. Its habitats are simple can support life on the most frugal if the cupboard be empty it can sustain rusty nails, skillet handles, old botten ready succeeded. To the credit of our vintners and the press generally, who have at heart the interest of the State as their own, I must state that I had hundreds of applications for seed that I could not supply, as the quantity I had gave out in a few days. Those particularly far away were unable to get any for their applications reached me too late. This vine, in its native state, has been found in altitbes varying from 100 to 3,000 feet above the sea level producing every where a truly marvellous crop of fruit. There is hardly any drupe that the vine can domesticated, with the proper attention in the beginning, in all the wane regions of California and of the Pacific Coast, Texas, Louisiana, the two Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia and other States equally favored in climate and soil. The result would naturally be a modification in the size of the crop in the taste of the grape and perhaps in the saccharine matter, just as our main European vines have changed and all kind of fruit change by changing soil, but the consequences could only be beneficial, and immensely so, to the people and the country generally. It was lately reported that an enterprising viniculturist of our State has already attempted to acclimatize the seed of the Sundan tuberouse vine, but failed. I do not know how much truth there is in such a report. I can only state that, according to the report of the discoverer of the Sundan vine himself, Mr. Leycott, such vine as a dwarf, and the little amount of seed he succeeded in gathering was, to his belief, partially or totally spoiled in the long journey to the Monterranean. The reported failures may be due to this or other causes, an availble for persons without much knowledge in treating the seed, since Mr. Leycott himself had not much time or chance to study properly the vine in its native regions. A similar vine, but more vigorous and productive, was lately discovered on the coast of Guinea by Arpore, chief of a severe mission sent to that country by the Portuguese Government. The plant was found to be about four feet high with a crop of grapes varying from 90 to 100 pounds on each vine. The fruit was delicious, and the wine made from it by Arpore and companions was fourfold very soon after, rich in aroma, in color and alcohol. Soil at least, is the account that one of his subordinate officers sent to his family and friends in Portugal a few months ago. As to Mr. Arpore, he was preparing a full report on the subject for the home Government. From the above it is evident that the Sundan and the Guinea annual tuberous vines are of the same genus as the Cochin Chinas; but the first is a dwarf, the second a semi dwarf compared to the last named vine. In Cochin it grows in some forests as high as 100 feet, and even more climbing up and around lotty trees, or stretching itself on the soil, and in some places this vine becomes a wonderful mass of large clusters her way to the next settlement, two miles distant. There is a young man in Nevada City who has a heavy beard on one side of his face and the other side is entirely hairless. ARNVY, April 5 — A bill has been introduced in the Senate and was immediately ordered to third reading to prevent any attempt to persuade or represent Jesus Christ by any show, play or dramatic representation whether free or for an admission, and declares the violation of its provisions a modemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $100 and imprisonment for not less than six months. The New York Herald editorially says: We have not the slightest interest in Samii Morse or his Passion Play; in fact, we are inclined to consider them something of a public misance. But when Senator Boyd, or any one else, propose to regulate religious opinions by a public law, we unhesitatingly say they mistake the public. No law is needed to suppress the Passion Play. Leave that to popular sentiment. If it is not deserving of favor it will not be patronized, and will speedily take itself away without any assistance from Boyd. WASHINGTON, April 1 — The Department of Agriculture has leased a piece of ground near the boundary line of the northeastern section of the city, to be used as an experimental farm and hospital for animals. The grounds are being put in order and buildings created therein. Dr. D. E. Salmon, who has for a number of years been employed by the department in the investigation of diseases of cattle, swine and poultry, will take charge of the work.

From the above it is evident that the Soudan and the Guinea annual tuberoses vines are of the same genus as the Cochin Chinas; but the first is a dwarf, the second a semi dwarf, compared to the last named vine. In Cochin it grows in some forests as high as 100 feet, and even more, climbing up and around lotty trees, or stretching itself on the soil, and in some places the vine becomes a wonderful mass of large clusters of luscious grapes from top to bottom. Respectfully yours, CHARLES DONDERO, No. 535 Washington Street. A Hotel Horror. GREENVILLE (Tex.), April 7th — About 2 o'clock this morning the end of a three story brick hotel fell, burying the inmates between its walls. Fifteen persons are known to have been killed. A few escaped unhurt. The ruins took fire and many bodies were roasted in the flames. Greenville has no fire engine and a dispatch was sent to Sherman for the Fire Department for relief. A fire engine arrived by a special train and prevented the spread of the flames. Up to 1:30 o'clock this afternoon five bodies were taken from the ruins, but were charred beyond recognition. The following is the list of the lost: Mrs. N.E. Pruitt, George Pruitt, Miss Lon Davis, Frank West, Captain D. N. Riley, William Denton, R. R. Neal, Louis Albert, Mr. Hill and John Ford, and five negroes. Several bodies have been recovered. Among them are those of Mrs. Pruitt and Miss Davis. The others are so charred as not to be identified. The building was erected within the past year and had been for some time considered unsafe, the walls being very light. Fifteen occupants escaped. One, J.D. Turner, was terribly mangled and may die. The fiteous wails of the imprisoned and burning victims, to whom no hand could render assistance, were heart-rending. Ladies are Attractive. All ladies know their faces are most attractive when free from puffs. Parker's Ginger Tonic is popular among them because it banishes impurities from blood and skin and makes the face glow with health. In Johnston he recognized a strong pillar to the Confederacy, and when he fell on the field of Shiloh the mightiest column which had sustained the cause had fallen. He died in a moment of victory, and had lived half an hour longer he would have made Grant a prisoner or a fugitive. The Confederacy had three great leaders: Lee, Jackson and Jolinston—who would compare with the leaders of antiquity or of modern times. At a banquet in the evening the speaker reiterated these sentiments. New York, April 6 — A circular has been issued to manufacturers of American wines and champagnes calling upon other manufacturers of wines to suggest measures to be pressed in Congress to oppose adulterations of native wines, and a meeting will be called. It is suggested there shall be no tax on pure native wines; that the sale of native, still or sparkling wines under any fictitious or foreign label shall be prohibited; and that adulterated wines shall be forfeited and the producers subjected to heavy fines. An Antiquated Axiom. No man can serve two masters. If you dissipate you suffer for your misunderstanding in every way; if you lead a sober and quiet life you have your reward in a clean heart and a solid body. The average man don't care a pin for a sermon. However, this is merely moralizing. If he wants to dissipate he will do so in spite of all opposition. It as a natural result of his imprudence, he becomes a dyspeptic or has attacks of billiousness or sick headache, he has senses enough to take Swayne's Pilla, knowing that they will work speedy relief.
