Had Call.

Philadelphia was for some years enlight-
ened by the presence of minister who
meant exceedingly well. and did pretty
well. A congregation in Western city
learning of his fame, and having no shep-
ard, invited this our Mr.. x ~ 10 as
sumo the vacant crook, deputing to car
nv their offer to much respected deacon,
commonly called in abbreyiatioR of his
first name, Epaphras- Uncle Emtus
came, told his errand, and caused church
meeting TO be held. that be might lay the
call of his own distant church before it.
The pathetic appeal with which he open
ed his business was this; a rrT .m.T
"AIy brethren, have come from long
distance to lay before you the condition,
of our church in the wilderness. We
read in Holy Writ that upon certain oeS
casion our Lord directed two of His disci-
Piles to go into certain village, saying
unto them, 'Straightway ye shall find an
ass tied; loose him and bring him unto
me- My bretbern, among you we have
found the ass tied. Permit me to loose. him
and lead him away and if you ask, as of
old, why l do it e? in like manner I an
swer: The Lord hath need of him."
They LET Uncle Emfus unite the sssand

BLEEDING ofVines.

There seems to be a difference Of opin-
ion as to whether grape vine is injured
by the excessive bleeding which ensues
whenever a. branch is cut off late in the
spring. A paragraph in Lindley's The
ory Of horticulture. which is decisive on
the point. lie says. Nothing is more
strictly to be guarded against, than the
disposition to Bleed, which occurs in some
plants tswhenpruned, and to such an extent
as to threaten. them with death. In the
vine, in milky plants, and in most climb
ers or twiners, this is particularly conspic-
uous. This. property usually arises from
the Iarge.size of the vessels through which
sap is propelled at the period Of early
growth, which vessels are unable, when
cut through, to collapse sufficiently to
close their own apertures, and they nee
iessarily pour forth their fluid contents as
long as the roots continue TO absorb them
from the soil. If this is continued the,
system becomes so exhausted as 10 be
unable to recover from the shock, and
the plant will either become very un-l
healthy, or win die" @ a.is

The Price of Printing Paper.

Printing paper oforlinary quality sells
at this moment from % to 30 cts a pound.
Its legitimate price is about 9 cents. Be
tween the price Of paper materials and
the manufactured articles there is moth
ing like adequate proportion. A large
commission house this week received a
consignment of rags from Havana
Knowing the exorbitant price of paper,
he expected to realize handsome return
to the consignors. He visited successfully
all the paper makers in this section OF. the
country, and corresponded with those
more distant. The utmost he could OBJ
tain for them was ST cents per pound
All the paper mills are stocked with ma
terial; waste paper for manufacture has
been thrown upon the market by thous-
ands of tons; and yet the price of printing
paper is kept up by speculation, or some
thing else, to % cents per pound. Here
is mystery that requires explanation
Who will give it? -.....a....
The above is from the Philadelphia
American That paper might with truth,
have added that appearances now mdi-
cate that the paper monopolists have
power over enough members of Congress
to defeat any attempt to reduce the tariff

General sumner-A Veteran War


General Sumner-A Veteran War
ls,ltr.s -81a 1850 rior. .s ---l .e- ! .-
A correspondent, writing from the army
of the Potomac, makes the following 2
mention of that ''old war horse" Gen.
SuaNER, who is now next 20 Burnside in
rank, and in his absence has command of
the army, II viii be remembered that at
the Fredericksburg fight, Gen. Sumner
begged Of Burnside to be allowed to pass
the river and fight at the head of his di-
vision. The writer says. ..l sG-.a.. -
During the late battle, Gen. Sumner,
in pursuance of an Imperative order from
General Burnside, remained on this side
OF the river. That order at least saved

a good deal oil euphonism about Al GEN

language he is leading them when he
occupies his appointed place, far IN their
rear. l. z'-i,- -1In- haLr--.--
Hut such is not Summers mode Forty
years of fighting Indians, Mexicans, and
rebels, have not toned down his bOyish
enthusiasm. He goes into battle con
amore, as poor Kearney did There is q
touch of the old-time chiyalry in the way

agile as youth of twenty-dashes into
battle, with his white hair and beard
streaming in the windArides uu and
down his front line. wherever the bullets
fly thickest, cheering, rallying and literal
IL leading his men. He really seems
bullet proof '' D.
He is usually Scared; often has his
hat, coat, or boots torn, and men killed
all around him, but escapes without harm.
Once, in Mexico, a bullet struck him
square in the forehead. The Soldiers in
sist that it dropped to the ground, fiatten-
ed as the ball drops from the forehead of
the buffalo. Whether this be true or not,
Sumner certainly lived to fight many
other days. ..t-..sE
Had he been permitted at Fredericks-
burg, he would doubtless have led the
van but by all human probabilities he
must have shared the fate of Bayard.
Death permitted no liberties there. No
man on horseback, who went out on that
fiery front, returned to tell what it was.
Gen. Rurnside's order saved US the life of
an honored veteran. 1t was time, too,
requiring no impetnosity, but the highest
caution and scrimination-when such
Generals as Couch, Hancock, and Howard,
were compelled to exercise their utmost
circumspection. --i-al. 1' To-
Gen. Summer ranks both the other
Grand Division Commanders, and, in the
absence Of Gen. Burnside, is at the head
of the Army. He is honored by all for
his most emphatic loyalty, his gallantry,
and his many estimable qualities. But
his special aptitude is that department of
the services to which he belongs in the
Regular Army cavalry. How grand
ly he would lead any body of horse, from
a squadron to a corps! How he would
head one. of those charges which shine
down through history, which, end in
sweeping victory or fiery death! 4

Planting corn, was, 7 think, in North
America, almost universally performed by
the women, who were in general made
the uncOmplaining dredges for The lazy
men. The ground being well prepared,
rich and mellow, company with baskets
on their arms proceeded 10 the fields
Placing themselves on the margin, at
equal distances, simultaneously each right
foot takes one step forward. bringing up
the left foot, the ground is opened by the
right heel, the corn is dropped, and cover
ed by the toes of the right foot Thus
proceeding with uniform motions until
the work is done. This method I saw
on the Oneida Reservation, in
Central New York, while passing from
Genesee river to Connecticut and back, in
the month of May, in 1910 and II.
The same method was practised by the
Seneca women and others, and it is stated
that the Massassaugas, in Wayne, this
county, as well as the Coneyotts, at Con-
neaut, followed the same method, the lat
ter just previous to their fleeing their
camp. to eVade punishment for the muir
der of the white man Williams. /
