A. N. CRAWFORD. Sr. Found Among Negroes and Whites.

"Down in Columbia, S. said an ubiquitous reporter, "I went through the penitentiary and found it interesting. It is a walled city by itself, with market gardens and factories and dormitories and dwellings all within the walls. The prisoners, mainly negroes, seemed well cared for and reasonably happy, because they nearly all had work to do. One day, as the men were forming line to be marched indoors to supper, a buck negro, who had been an exemplary prisoner for years, suddenly stepped out the line with head up and broad nostrils dilated.

"Get in line, there," said one of the guards. "I won't," said the negro; "I won't get in line, an' I won't march to sunper, an' I won't eat no supper, won't do anything." Asked what was the matter with him, he said: "I guess I'm bad. Dat's what's de matter; I'm bad through and through. My heart has done gone bad." He had been such a well- behaved prisoner that the guards warned him. "You will only get paddled," a said they; "why don't you get in line and behave?" But the negro said he knew he would be paddled, and he reckoned that was what he wanted.

Paddling is not a pleasant diversion for the vietim. They put a prisoner's hands in stocks so low down that he has to bend almost double to get them in place. Then they take a long black strap an inch wide, or an inch and a half, and a quarter of an inch thick, and they lash him as many times as they are ordered to. This was the performance in which the rebellious negro took part, and after it was over he guessed "the badness" had gone out of his heart. That reminded the reporter of a professional visit he once paid to the state prison at Sing Sing.

The warden was showing him through the buildings, and toward the end of the journey they passed through the machine shop. One prisoner, a brawny fellow, but in looker tract in reporter out of the sides of his eyes. When the warden had passed and was ten feet ahead this prisoner turned around, and just as the reporter was about to pass him he turned and kicked the risitor with brutal force in one ankle. blow all but disabled the reporter. The prisoner stood with his back: to his work, reckless and defiant.

The warden saw his visitor limping and showing in his face the pain that he suffered. He asked what had b.sppened. hit my ankle against a heavy bar of iron," said the reporter. He said SO because it occurred to him that the poor devil who had hurt him was in a sufficiently bad fix and frame of mind for which, even true wore half insane, there must have been some good reason. Only the other day, years afterward, the behavior of the foolish negro in Columbia let in a little light upon the motive the Sing Sing prisoner had for his behavior.

He had got and that the same thing which the Indians negroes both call bad heart," and which seems to seize them suddenly and cause them to do the most foolhardy deeds, even when instant punishment was certain. Perhaps it is this sudden insanity that is at the bottom of the crimes of the negroes all over the south. -N. Y. Sun.

Speaking of the locomotive, Fire at Hartfere, EMPORIA, April 3. -Fire last night destroyed the main business block of Hartford. It started in butcher shop in the Sutton block and high wind made it impossible for the volunteer fire company to save a single building in the block.

The estimated loss is aggregate insurance, $28,000. The fire raged during the greater part onthe night and went out this morning because of lack of buildings to burn. There is practically not a business house left in the town. There is strong evidence that the fire was incendiary. -Little Johnny was in tribulation that morning.

Prohibitions, great and small, met him at every turn. It was "po" to this and "no" to that, till at last he began to cry, angrily exclaiming to his mother between his sobs: "I wish 'no' was a swear word, mamma, so's you couldn't say it!" -Boston Herald. Killed at a Crossing. CROSS, April 3. -W.

The wearing of convex glasses this fault How many school girls when they are preparing their white dresses for vacation time and resort to indigo to procure the desired shade stop to think what they are using and how it is obtained? It is a vegetable product which may be obtained from many species of plants although only a few are used in its production, The most important source of indigo is the I.

tinctoria, which is a plant growing from three to five feet in height and having bipinnate leaves. It is in the leaves that indigo is found in greatest abundance and they are gorged with it just before the flower buds open. At that time the plant is cut down, sometimes the same stalk yields two and even three crops in one year. 'The most important process for the separation of the commercial product from the plant is that which works upon the green leaves and stalks. The cut leaves and stalks are tied up in small bundles and conveyed at once to the factory in which there are two ranges of large tanks, one series being on a lower level than the other.

In the first range the bundles are covered with water and held under by cross bars. Fermentation at once begins. At the end of ten or fifteen hours this process is completed and the water is of a clear yellow color. It is now allowed to run into the lower range of vats. Here it must be kept in continual and violent motion.

For this purpose a number of men enter the vats and lash the water with long bamboo poles for two or three hours. Gradually sink indigo appears in broad flakes which to the bottom. The water assumes a greenish hue as the flakes form, but when they sink to the bottom and it is drawn off it is quite clear. The indigo remaining in the tank is placed in a boiler, and, to vent any further fermentation is raised to the boiling point. It is now allowed to rest for about a day, then it must be boiled for three or four hours, filtered over a thick filtering cloth and dried by pressure.

The cakes thus formed are dried in the shade and in a few days are I ready for packing. COUPON TICKET! NO. 12. Enterprise Series. Cut out this coupon, bring it with you.
