~ Militia officers are not the

goes far to prove that their humility is

swallow his fifth invoice of "hardware'
-"Cuff, you're good, honest fellow.

A REMARKABLE NAN. OR ToueH
SroRr.-There is now living in Cham
paign county, one of the most remarks
bic men of the age, in the person Of
Richard Stsump. a eolored man now
in the l06th year of his age, who acted,
as General Washington's waiter during
the war of the Revolution.
Mr.. Staump came to this county in
the year 1904, and located on Muddy
Greek, in Concord township, where BY
industry and economy he secured
farm and comfortable home. He Is
the father of hirty-tkres children, the
youngest of whom by his second wife,
is now about 16 years Of age. He re-
tains his mental and physical faculties
to remarkable degree, being still able
TO take an active part in the cultivation
of his farm, and like all old war-worn
veterans, takes great delight in eight
ing his battles o'er," in conversation
with his neighbors andfriends who visit
him, and in relating interesting re-
miniscences in the life of his distin-
guished master.
He witnessed nearly all the battles Of
the Revolution, and was wounded at
the battle of Stony Point, and left for
dead on the field. He bears on his
person honorable. scars to demonstrate
this fact. He has been member Of
the Baptist church for eighty years,
and through his long and eventful life.
has always maintained consistent
christian character, and relates with
much feeling the circumstances of his
conversion on the Potomac.
Richard Staump is certainly re-
markable man, and is perhaps the last
surviving member of Washington's
family. We do not know whether he
has ever applied to Congress for pen
sion, but have no doubt If his case was
presented to that body, it would receive
a unanimous vote in favor of granting
him an annuity during the balance Of
his Urbana Gazette.

[From the Nashville Gazette. !

To the Infant prummer.
Who calls thee Drummer, thou fair boy
With golden hair and beaming eve?
They name thee wrong-thOu art the sprite-
The soul of martial melody.
Apollo breathed upon thy birth,
And Mars adopts thee for his son;
The Mystic Nine their tributes brought
Ere yet thy race had scarce begun.
The light of genius in thine eye
Breaks brightly from the soul within,
When Unborn music, bursting forth,
Shouts the war-cry and battle din.
On thy young brow the fender thought
Has scarcely left the first, faint trace;
Thy form, and voice, and manner speak
OF infant beauty, childlike grace.
Yet, in that tiny form there dwells
a power to move the sternest soul,
As leaping from thy martial notes,
Wake warrior spirits where they roll.
Could soldier on the battle field
View thee beat thy wOndrous toy,
Forget were wounds and battle shock,
To shout aloud-God bless the boy.
When sinking on his CORY bed
Could his dim eye thine image see,
'Twould serve TO light the fiick'ring soul
On to eternal victory.
Yet brightly on thine infant head
May years with blessing ever come;
Thy country, when she ourns thee dead,
Beat the sad, low funeral drum.

Sour FooD.-Cattle fed on sour food,
prepared by fermenting rye -four and
water into kind of paste and then
diluted with water, afterwards thickened
with hay chaff THAT is hay cut small,
are said to fatten quickly. This plan is
adopted in France to considerable ex-
tent and has been introduced years ago
in thiseountry. Although not general
ly adopted, it is deserving Of considera-
z&n by graziers. With respect to the
HASy Of acid food for fattening ami
mails there is, as on most other subjects,
variety of opinions. 1t is well known
that swine derive more benefit from
sour milk than they do from milk in a
fresh state; and there is no doubt but
there are particles which promote diges-
ton and facilitate the consumption of a
larger quantity of food and consequent
ly yexpedite the fattening of cattle.

An experiment by Mr.. Chas. Will
son, of Wallabout, L. l., embracing the
principles noted above, will be found
in our back volumns.
Mr.. Wilson is distiller of whisky
from rye and corn. He fatted an OK ex-
hibited at the American Institute which
weighed 1000 lbs, and the materials
used were the grains freed from the
more fluid part left after distillation and
supposed to ferment slightly before
being fed. To this was occasionally
added small quantity of corn meal,
which was also permitted to sour before
use Working Farmer.
