A GBEAT MARBLE QUARRY. THE EXTRA Or DTNAB.Y DISCOVERT ! IN A SOUTHERN VALLEY. Whilt Followed I-'rom Hooding m Georgia Newspaper In it Train I A Marvelous Fori line I'tieni-llied. t Eight years ngo a nssciitrcr saw a newspaper upon nn empty unit in a car lf an express train. Ho un'ohleil it and yawned as lie glanced over .Is column. Finding nothing there of nhsorliing in terest, lie was about to lay it aside when the word "marble," repeatedly printed, caught his eye. It stirred the depth of his memory. It recalled hoy hood days in the Urccn Mountain, ami family stories concerning the fortune of an uncle, l cars before the pawncrcr was born, the uncle was forced to nccepl an apparently worthless tract of land in payment of a debt. When penury crept upon him in the shade of old aire, a marble quarry was found beneath the Mirfuc of the neglocted tract. The famous Uu'latul quarries were developed, and the uncle hecame one of the wealthiest nu n in Ver mont. The nephew had played in the quarries with schoolmates, and had re peatedly heard his uncle tell the story of their discovery and development. And ever afterward the word marble had for him a peculiar fascination. He therefore became deeply interested in the news paper. . The passenger was IT. C. Clement, a clothier of Chicago, and the newspaper the Atlanta Conttitution. The latter con tained an article describing the attractions of Pickens County, Georgia. It was in this description that the word "marble" repeatedly appeared. The correspondent asserted that ho had seen the outcropping of a marble formation in the bed of Long Swamp Creek. The story was told in plain, unvarnished Anglo-Saxon. The lasscngcr read it with avidity. So decp y impressed was he that lie crossed over to Frank Siddall, the Philadelphia soap man, who sat near by, and called his at tention to the article. Siddall read it, and listened to Clement's reminiscences. lie latter averred that if there was a shadow of truth to the story there was a marble quarry in Georgia that would strip the supremacy from Vermont. AVith an eye to business, Siddall suggested a visit to Pickens County, and offered to shoul der a share of the expense. The offer was accepted. The author of the article in the Con ttitution was first unearthed. He proved to be Captain Evan P. Howell, better known as the "wet editor" of that great newspaper. Howell had traveled up to Pickens County on the opening of the North Georgia Railroad, and had written up the country, with a view of increasing the circulation of tho Constitution. He said that the outcropping of tho mar blo was to be found in tho Long Swamp valley, about two miles from tho railroad and forty miles north of Marietta. With ready courtesy he offered to go with tho Chicago merchant and point out the spot. They went to the valley. Clement was buoyaut with hope. The bed of the creek disclosed the vein. There were also other surface indications. The greatest proof of tho purity of the upheaval, however, was rough hewn mar ble blocks,taken out by the mountaineers. There were marblo sentinels at the head of graves in the little private cemeteries set apart from every mountain farm. 1 lie outcropping was on land owned by the Tato brothers. It was originally discov ered by their father, who came to Pick ens County while Andrew Jackson was President. The Cherokees had not yet left the country. Mr. Tate entered it as the overseer of a new plantation. While roaming the woods, gun in hand, he dis covered the vein in the bed of the creek. The gold mines of Dahlonega were only tlurty-nve miles away, ana-iaie was probably prospecting for the precious metal wheiib j found the marble outcrop. It V CT., cy white in color nnd flinty. "5i.-re was hardly an indication of the wonderful rock beneath it. Tate, how ever, seems to have had an intuitive sense of tho value of the discovery. He fore saw its future development, secured the land for a song, and retained it to the day of his death. "Hold on to it, boys," ho frequently said to his sons. "Keep your grip, and never let go of it. Some day it's sure to be more valuable than the gold mines at Dahlonega." Tho boys were hardy mountaineers. What they lacked in education they made up in horse sense. The advent of Clem ent did not surprise them. They seemed to take little interest in his proceedings, and calmly awaited the conclusion. The Chicago man went to work with the ut most caution. Ho was confident that there was a bed of genuine marble below him and one of remarkable purity. Ho first ascertained its width, length and depth. This was tho work of experts sent to tho Long Swamp valley on his re turn to Chicago. They dug' holes and tested the marble at every point. The rein was traced two miles and a luilf up the valley. It proved to be over 200U feet wide. Its actual depth, however, has never boen ascertained. Nothing but marble has been found after boring 185 feet. It has been upheaved in a solid block, and not in layers. It has neither crack nor lamination. A chunk the size of the Washington monument could be taken from it. If the mass was heaved above tho earth a church as large as fct. Peter's iu Home could be carved from it. Indeed, the pyramids of Egypt might have been cut from it in solid triangles. Upon the report of the experts a com pany was formed, and an effort to buy the property was made, lint thu Tute brothers, mindful of their father's in junctions, refused to sell. A long lease of their laud was taken, and the remain der of the vein was purchased outright. The capitalization of the company was $1.50U,000. The company controls the entire vein. Over tjtHiO.OOO has been spent in developing the quarries. A spur has been built into the valley from the North Georgia Kuilruad, and rive great pits have heen opened. The marblo is taken from the pits in blocks weighing many tons eat U. 1 ht-.-e blocks are sawn into slabs by mills iu the valley und else where. The Tute brothers are drawing a royalty of over 51(100 u month, and the aggregate is constantly increasing. The output of the quarries is already immense, and is doubling every year. Over 1000 men are already employed in the valley. Beside s this, mills for nhapiiig and polish ing the marble are running iu Cincinnati, Chattanooga, Peoria, Marietta, and Kel son, tia.

WISE WORDS. Wealth nor power can ennoble tho mean. No thoroughly occupied man was ever yet very miserable. Quarrels would never last long if the trouble was only on one side. Our greatest glory is not in never full ing, but rising every time we fall. It is one proof of a good education and of true refinement of feeling to respect antiquity. Cheerfulness keeps up a kind of day light in the mind, tilling it with a steady and perpetual serenity. There are no persons more solicitous about the preservation of rank than those who have no rank at all. Pride, like the magnet, constantly points to one object, self; but unlike the magnet, it has no attractive pole, but at all points repels. Believe nothing against another but'on good authority ; uor report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to an other to conceal it. The greater a man is in power above others, the more he ought to excel them in virture. None ought to govern w ho is not better than the governed. To think well of every other man's condition, and to dislike our own, is one of tho misfortunes of human nature Pleased witu each other s lot, our own we hate. However good you may be, you have faults; however dull you may be, you can find out what some of them are; und however slight they may be, you had better make some not too painful, but patient efforts to get quit of them. Emery Dust Iu His Drain. The coroner held an inquest the other afieruoou in Pittsburg on the remains of Hubert Wiggins, who died at the work house, where he hud been sent two weeks before by Mayor Pearsuu for thirty days The inquest developed that about a year u'o AS iggins was injured bv the explo sion of an emery wheel ht Willey's plan ing mill in Allegheny, I euu., where lie was employed. Fragments of the ex ploded wheel fractured Wiggins' skull, and ever sjuce the accident he has suf fered from brain trouble, which was al ways aggravated by liquor. On the nii.dit ol his arrest he had taken a couple of drinks and immediately became wild. In this condition ho was arrested, but thu mr.horities, not knowing his weakness, imposed the usual sentence. Wiggius was seized with convulsions on Wednes day, from which ho died on Thursday. A post mortem of his remains disclosed a considerable quantity of emery dust that had entered the brain, and this, the phy sicians said, caused the fatal convulsions.

THE TOMATO A AN IXSP.CTirvR. A Mexican journal gives the following experience of a French agriculturist: Two peach trees of my orchard were covered with insects, just as they were about to flower. Having cut several tomato vine, the idea occurred to me to place them around tho trunks and branches of the peach trees, to shelter them from the rays of tho sun. What was my surprise, on the following day, to notice that all the insects had dis appeared, except from tho leaves be yond tln influence of tho tomato plant. I carefully-separated these leaves and ap plied theitomato to them, when the insects disappeared as if by enchantment, nnd from that time tho peach trees began to grow luxuriantly. Wishing to enr-y tho experiment further, I put sotno of the tomntu leaves in water nnd sprinkled other plants, such as the rose bush, orsntr tree, apple tree, pear tree, etc., with the infusion, which also had the samcvicffect of completely freeing theni of ivcets within a few davs. rnrxtsa simm. Shrubs, like trees, are pruued for different purposes, ami no one rule will apply for all cases. The shade tree re quires pruning, but not of the same kind as the apple tree, which must be pruned with the view to making it produce the lest fruit, and a liberal supidy of it. Shrubs are similar to trees in this respect. Some are pruned for grace ami symmetry, while others are pruned in order to make the production of flowers greater. Shrubs should not bo cut back ruthlessly, as many ungarden-like gardeners do. They should be sheared off evenly and uni formally in growing in a border. Grace nnd beauty are the two things desired, nnd this cannot bo obtained nuy better than by trimming the sides over off in a symmetrical curve. Single, isolated plants should be made to assume tha ap pearance of an egg or a perfect sphere. Flowering shrubs should Ihj carefully pruned. Every branch thnt is lopped off is likely to carry with it several buds which would in time present handsome flowers. If the pruning is done after the buds arc formed the shrubs will attempt to repair the loss by throwing out new shoots, which will bear abundant flowers the following spring. In this way prun ing will sometimes encourage a strong growth of flowering wood. Iu pruning it is not always advisable to adopt a treat ment that has only one season of flower ing in view, l lie time 01 flowering is short, and the general shape and grace of tho shrub should also bo hud in.virw when cutting off tho branches. Even in winter a pracefiilly-trimjsji shrub ,a grace and beauty of its own. As a ireneral rule, then, no-siirub should be cut back so as toJnipair its vigor or to ruin its natural outlines. Weak shoots should only be cut off, and in such a way as to develop the best form of the whole plant. HOW TO MAKE A COOL CEIXAIt. A great mistake is sometimes made in ventilating cellars and milk houses. The object of ventilation is to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this object often fails of being accomplished by a single mis take, aud instead the cellar is made both warm and damp. A cool placo should never bo ventilated unless the air ad mitted is cooler than the uir within, or ut least as cool as that or a very little warmer. The warmer the air tho mora moisture it holds in suspension. Necessarily, the cooler tho air the more the moisture is condensed and precipitated. When a cool cellar is aired on a warm dav, the entering air being in motion appear cool, but as it fills the cellar the cooler air with which it becomes mixed chills it. the moisture is condensed and dew is de posited on the cold walls, and may often be seen running clown them in streams. Then the cellar is damp and soon becomes mouldy. To avoid this tho windows should only be opened at night, and late the last thing before retiriug. There is no need to fear that the night air is im healthful; it is as pure. as the air of mid day, and really drier. The cod air en ters tho apartment during the night und circulates through it. The windows should be closed before sunrise in the morning and kept closed und shaded dur ing the day. If tho air in the cellar is damp it may be thoroughly dried by placing in it a peek of fresh hmn iu uu open box. A peck of lime w ill ubsorb about seven pounds, or more than three quarts of water, and iu this way a cellar or milk room may soon be dried cveu iu the hottest weather. If a cellar 1ms a clamp smtll and cannot be thoroughly vcntiluted a few trays of charcoal set around on tho floor, shelves und ledges will make thu uir pure and sweet. If a large basketful of clutrcoul ho placed iu a damp cellar where milk is kept there will bo no danger of iu be coming tainted. Culman't Jlural WurlJ. CKOWS IS THE COUS FIKI.U. At a discussion ut the meeting of t'..e Connecticut Stuto Board of Agriculture on the question, "Can Crows be Pic cntcd From Pulling Corn'f" Mr. Wcbbsahl, he made an agreement with tho crows ye:. is ago that if they would not pull his coru he would feed them. "When I sow my corn for thu crows," says he, "1 hi not poison it, but I sow it in different iiarts of the field. They pick it up and while , so doing they pick up many worms." Mr. Ellsworth pursues thu some course and thinks an ullowuncu of two cu:i:t of corn much better than to lose 100 or t'M hills of corn. Several farmers claimed that by apply ing tar to thu seed when planting, tic crows will not pull tho coru. .Mr. Duy reckons the destruction of com by crows in New England by thousands and thou sands of dollars. Mr. Duy has succeeded in driving oil the crows by hanging a small lookio j-jlati with a ahurt string ou 1 a slanting stake driven In an elevation In the corn Held. Mr. Fenn said tarred corn was not an absohtto preventive. Tha looking-glass scheme is all right when the sun Is shining, but without effect in cloudy weather. - , Secretary Gold resorts to strychnine. "A little sprinkled with this poison and distributed here and there In the field was sufficient to leave a number of crows in the field. Tho crows held indignation meetings all about the woods on the sub ject. They left my cornfield, and last year I planted the same field nnd others adjoining on my farm, and tho crows did not trouble mo at nil. They transmitted their experience of the previous year. Mr. Seeley had a similar experience, using a gun, however, instead of strychnine. Mr. Chamberlain added the following; "I think tho efficiency of tho various methods of defending our cornfields de pends upon the familiarity of the crows with them. I remember nn East Hart ford farmer telling me it was useless to undertake to scare them at nil, because, he said, tho crows have been fighting Yankees for 200 years, nnd they havo lenrned all the tricks. I thought I would see if I could not get a littlo tho start of tho crows, so last year, ns my field was not protected in nny way until after tho corn came up, and I found that a few hills had been pulled, I carried a bundle of newspapers to the field. I opened them nnd spread them over the ground, putting a stone in the middle, allow ing the wind, to sway them, making at times quito a disturbance in the field. I found it was a perfect protection." FEF.nrKO WORK nOKSES. There is no place where a farmer is, called upon to uso better judgment than in the care of his work team in the stable." Says tho tcrn Stoclmanand Cultivator: Tho team is required to do constant and scvero labor day after day, and must be kept in constant .health to endure tha strain. The variety of food at hand is limited to dry corn and hny on a great many farms, and it is almost impossible on such diet to keep a team in good health. The stomach of tho horse is smaller iu proportion teVliis size than that of any other animal, and as the horse is more active than other large animals he ought to have nourislunent in its least bulky form nnd oftener thau other animals. Feeding often is impracticable when much work is required of him, so tho horso must make up at night for the wear and tear of a day of starvation and exercise. With this iu view a good horse man will provide his team with the clean est und most nutritious food. He will also provide a variety of foods so ns to keep up the appetite nnd meet all the wants of the system. Where corn is tho only grain grown on the farm and the only rough food is prairie hny, it will bo some trouble to provide a variety of food. But there is always a way if there is only a will. Some corn can be sold aud with the proceeds wheat bran can be bought, a small amount of which, mixed with corn, w ill produce excellent results. A small nmouut of clover hay can bo pro cured in every neighliorhood. An oc casional feed of clover hay, moistened, will be relished by the team, and has a feeding value almost equal to oats, pound for pound. Some good farmers kef p their teams on clover hay alone without any grain whatever. Cure in watering horses is as important ns feeding. A horse, has only one sensa tion at a time, ami whenjie is .Magsc lie don't want w;rter',hnd when thirsty ho dr.ll't-wunt food till ho is watered, so that it is impossible to lay down a rule for watering. It is a good plan to water be fore feeding, especially in tho morning, and if tho horse seems very thirsty do not let him have all ho will drink. Water him again some time after feeding, also. A horso will not digest his food if ho is wanting water, nnd panting nnd ex haustion often noticed is generally caused by indigestion from not getting enough water to supply the system. In such a case it will pay to take a team to wntcc no matter how great is the hurry. FAntf AND GA11DEN NOTES. Watch the colts' feet aud thus prevent misshaped feet. To be sure wool is kept free from dirt, bi tter sack the fleeces us soon as sheared, even though you nro not ready to sell.

They do not favor remaining indoors, no mat ter how clean and bright tho poultry house may be.

If cows arc not kept up all of the time, and fed iu a stable ou succulent foods bran und meal then they should havo a regular feeding night and morning. It may bo set clown as a rulo that tho more special dairy blood a cow has tho nioro certain is she to turn her food into milk solids and not into fat ami flesh. Comfort is essential in tho dairy.
