be concerned, that in the examination
and exhibition Of said school, great sat

The school house being too small to
accommodate the scholars and specta-
tors, all repaired to the Court House,
where all were entertained and interest
ed The degree Of readiness Of the
scholars in answering questions, and in
declaimiHg dialogestieally or otherwise,
proved plainly that the scholars had been

science towards the temple Of fame, and
that the Teacher was wise workman
who need not be ashamed Indeed, with
out any mark Of hattery can state, that
If oil our towns and districts could be
supplied vita such untiring and accom-
plshed Teachers, the work Of Education
would go on prosperously over every OBJ
ssaele, until universal knowledge should
Peryade every circle of society, and de.
formed ignorance be banished from our
land. So mote IL be.

PROTECT TIE Rours OF TREKs.-Most
trees in thi latitude will receive benefit
by winter protection, Nature provides
this in forests by depositing leaves which
have formed their summer clothing, upon
the ground beneath which most Of the
vitality is stored in the roots. They form
a loose covering containing much air, thus
securing several degrees Of warmth to the
surface below. In addition to the benefit
thus derived, the decaying of the top
leaves supplies top dressing of the best
kind of nourishmcnt for the future growth
of the tree. Stable manure affords good
protection, but is not SO we'll adapted for
affording nourishment. A compost in
which leaves form the largest proportion,
spread literally, at least an inch deep, over
the whole surface nnder the tree, to be
torked in the following spring, will be
highly beneficial. A tree may live and
grow without these precautions, but its
thrift will be greatly promoted by obscrv'
ing them.-Americaa Agricu1tursst. :

An EXAMPLE FOR Mn1rARY MEN.-ln
1903, the Duke of Wellington was placed
in command Of the important British ex-
pedition destined to operate in the PENN
sular. He had made all his preparations
with the foresight and thoronghness char
acteristic of the man; and the expedition
had actually sailed, when the Ministry de-
termined to supersede him in the COM
mand. In very laconic note, assigning
no reasons for the change, Viscount Gas
tlereagh, Secretary Of State, informed the
Duke (then. Sir Arthur Wellesley that the
command of the troops had been assigned
to Sir Hugh Dalrymple, with Sir Harry
Burrard second in command. By this OPP
Grafton, Sir Authnr's sphere of command
was suddenly diminished from an army 70
brigade while in the very act OF prepar-
ing to meet the enemy. An ordinary SOL
der would at once have thro WI up his com
mission III disgust. Though deeply NOR,
titled, ITO doubt, he sacrificed all personal
considerations to patriotism and principle,
and in a letter, written soon after, SAID =
Il shall do my best to ensure the success
of the army; and You may depend omit
that shall not hurry the operations, or
commence them one moment sooner than
they ought to be commenced, in order that
may acquire the credit of the success
The government will determine for me in
what waythey will employ me hereafter,
either here or elsewhere" When asked
by familiar friend how he, who had COM
manded armies of forty thousand men, who
had received the thanks of Parliament for
Lis victories, and been elected Knight OF
the Bath, could submit to be reduced to
the command of q brigade of infantry !
g For this reason" was the reply, am
nimukwallah. as we say in the East; l
have alto of the Kings salt, and therefore
| consider it to be my duty to serve with
zeal and promptitude when or wherever
the King or his government may think
proper to employ me-"
A great military principle is here en-
forced by great military man, not only
by precept but example. Officers who de-
cline to serve their country in capacity
which they consider inferior to their mer-
its, may study with advantage this page in
the history of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

COMING HOME.

O brothers and sisters. growing old,
Do you all remember yet
That home in the shade Of the rustling trees,
Where once your household metz
DO YOU know how we nsed to come from schot
Through the summers pleasant heat;
With the yellow fenners golden dust
On our tired little feet?
And sometimes in an idle mood
We loitered by the way;
And stopped in the woods to gather flowers,
And in the fields to plays
Till warned by the deep'ning shadows fall
That told Of the coming night,
We climbed to :hs top Of the last long hiii'
And saw our home il sight?
And, brothers and sisters, older now
Than she whose life is DER,
Do you think of the mothers loving lace,
That looked from the open door!
Alas for the changing things of time;
That home in the dust is low!
And that loving smile was hid from us,
In the darkness, long ago?
And We have come to life's last hill,
From which our weary eyes
Cdn almost look III tldt uou0 luos Sh''So
Eternal in the skies.
So, brothers and sisters as We 60,
Still let US move sS one;
Always together keeping step,
Till the march of life is done:
For mother, who waited for US here,
Wearing smile so sweet
Now waits on the hills of Paradise
For her children's coming feet!

Lively sallies and connected discourse
are very different things. There are many
persons of that impatient and restless turn
of mind that they cannot wait moment
for conclusion, or follow up the thread
Of any argument. In the hurry of con-
versation their ideas are somewhat hud-
died into sense; but in the intervals of
thought leave great gap between
Montesquieu, said he often lost an idea
before he could find words for it; yet he
dictated, by way of saving time to an
amannensis. This last is, in my opinion a
vile method, and solecisrn in authorship.

INCIDENTS OF SHERMAN'S SOUTH
ERN WINTER TOUR.

The two wings of Sherman's army uni
ted at Milledgeville, where they sta'd three
days.
In their route they destroyed as far as
possible all mills, cribs, and gin houses,
cotton screws, and gins, cotton, imple-
ments, etc., and carried off all stock, pro-
visions and negroes.
When their horses gave out they shot
them. At Eatonton they killed over one
hundred. =,
At Milledgevilc they only destroyed the
Arsenal, Depot, and Penitentiary. They
did not burn the Factory near that place.
Along their route the road was strewn
with dead negro women and children.
At Monticello the Fcderals hung man
by the name of Smith, but life was not ex-
tinct when he was cut down.
The farmers having devoted large
share of their attention this fall to syrup
making, there is large quantity OF corn
yet ungathered in the field, which was left
by the federals. But there is not horse
or OK in the country, hence the saving OF
the corn Will be difficult matter.
The federals burned the residence of
DR.. Jones, of Atlanta, four miles from
Madison. They also burned llillsboro'
and Clinton.
It is stated that Messrs. Newton, Few,
and Everett, near Shady Dale, were ar
rested by the federals and carried oil in
chains.
Confederate soldiers captured by the
Yankees were treated as prisoners of war.
At Madison they broke open DIR. Ogle-
by's office and carried off all his medi-
cines, including several jars of strychnine,
arsenic, and corrosive sublimate, which
had no labels on them. One of them tore
out the works of galvanic battery, and
carried off the mahogany box.
Shatfold's distillery near Greensboro
was not destroyed.
The enemy were under strict discipline,
and when privates were found depreda-
ting on private property they were severe
ly punished by order of Gen. Sherman
OF course stragglers. committed depreda
tions with impunity.
The right wing of the federal army I'M
der Gen. Howard, crossed the Ocmulgee
river between Adams Ferry and Macon.
1t is said that the town Of Forsyth was
completely demolished.
The federals expressed great astonlsll'
ment at the rich country they were pass
ing, and the abundance Of provisions in it
) y negro succeeded in escaping from the
federals with gold watch and fine hat
He was forced off, and assigned to a Major
to groom his horse. Observing the Major
deposit fine gold watch in bundle o.
fodder, he made it convenient to use thai
bundle of fodderrght off. Obtaining the
watch and hat, under cover of the dark
ness he slipped iuto gulley and reached
home safely.
At Milledgeville. the Federals choked
one of the Waltzfelders to compel him te
give up his gold He stood the choking
but did not give up the filthy luere.
The people of Madison are indebted to
q. Hoa. Joshua Hill for his strenuous exer
tons to have their property protected
1t was owing to his efforts solely tina,
they were spared.
( Gen. Slocum gave orders to the citizens
along his route to shoot down his stragglers
without mercy.
One punishment inflicted by some Of
the federal Generals for plundering, was
severe whipping.-August@ Chronicle d
Sentinel.

THE ORIGIN OF P1ANos.-fhe piano.forte,
that favorite parlor instrument now con-
sidered All almost indispensab article in
every family that can purchase it, was
invented by j. G. Schroeder, of Dresden,
in l7l7. The square piano was made first
by Frederica, an organ builder Of Saxony,
about 175s. Piano fortes were made in
london by M. Zumpic, a German, in 1865.
The manufacture of this instrument was
commenced in America since the opening
OF the present century. :
