How to Make Pencil Writing Indelible

A correspondent of an agricultural pa
per gives the following information, which
may be of interest to some of our readers:
GA great many valuable letters and other
writings are written in pencil. This is
particularly the case with letters of our
soldiers sent home from the army. The
following simple process will make lead
pencil writing or drawing as indelible as
if done with ink. Lay the writing in a
shallow dish and pour skinned milk up
on it. Any spots not wet at first may
have the milk placed lightly upon them
with feather. When the paper is wet
over with milk, take it up and let the
milk drain off, and wipe off with the
feather, the drops which collect on the
lower edge. Dry it carefully and it will
be found to be perfectly indelible. 1t
cannot be removed even with India rub
Der. 1t is an old receipt, and good
one."

longevity of Soldiers.

We find the following statistic in an
old copy Of a newspaper. We publish ii
just now, as evidence that, where the con-
stitutiOn is strong, the hardships of camp
life do not. shorten life: MANY sold
iers and officers of the Revolutionary War
died at an advanced age. The hardships
they underwent in that contest gave them
iron constitutions. John Lask, who died
in Tennessee iu 1898, at the age of one
hundred and four years, had been a sold
icr in the old French War, at the battle
Of Abraham's Plains, Quebec, Canada
East, where Gen. Wolfe died victorious.
He also went through the Continental
War. James Stafford died at Allentown,
New Jersey, aged one hundred and two
He was midshipman in the Alliance
frgate. Anthony Van Pell, who died in
New York city, in 1880, was beyond
doubt, the oldest person dying in that
year. He was ia the one hundred and
thirteenth year of his age. Arrou Burr
died at an advanced age, and many Other
Revolutionary heroes whom it is needless
to mention here" Our General Scott
the hero of many battles, is in his seven
ty.Dinth year.

"Womah's Rights" which Have Been
Overlooked.

1t is a w0man's right to have her home

&c kind aud forbearing whenever her

1t is womau's right to be satisfied with

right to be content when her husband

freight. Horses and mules are plenty al
Fort Benton, as they GENERALLY are through
out the Indian Territories. The indians
In Montana and Idaho are not at present
troublesome, and on the river they have
rarely been known to molest steamboat.
For about $50 miles above Fort Rice the
river passes through a qiarter in which
some tribes of Dakotas are at war with
the whites.
The boats go well prepared to repel as
saults which the Indians might make du-
ring the stops for cutting and taking in
supplies of wood. At night the boats
anchor in the stream. There are num-
Der of forts in the river, which are we'll
garrisoned, and several military expedi-
tions are now fitting out at Sioux City
with the object of escorting trains across
the country to the mining regions, and
at the same time they will test the prac-
ticability of some proposed new wagon
routes. Thus the means of access to the
most remote portions of our territories
are being improved and made known,
while the wonderful developments of the
vast wealth stored in these are constantly
US to push forward our rail
ways, and bring these regions into direct
with the Atlantic States,
and these at the same time when the
States upon the Pacific.

Russian Railways and American Me
chanics.

The Baltimore Sun says: Mr.. Thomas
Winans and his brothers, who for the past
few years have been. residing in the vic
Unity of Lincoln, have recently entered
into contract with the Emperor of Russia
for the running and putting in order Of
the railroad between St. Petersburg and
Moscow, ore of the greatest works of the
kind in Europe, and which was originally
built and stocked by them. Since the
retirement of these gentlemen from the
management of the road, some years since
its affairs have been in the hands of q
French company, but not giving entire
satisfaction to the Russian Government
the Messrs. Winans have again been
sought out to manage it. The new con
tract is tor eight years and they are to
receive eight millions of roubles per an
mum for the work-a rouble being worth
seventy five cents in American currency

Distinguished Visitors.

The country seems to be unusually
favored this year with visitations from
various delegations of worms, bugs, flies,
grasshoppers and other species of anima-
ted nature troublesome and injurious.
A gentleman handed into our office day
or two ago bunch of leaves of a plum
tree, which was entirely covered with
grubs eating the leaves, and which have
destroyed many of the apple and pear
trees. The measuring worn has been the
nuisance of the season among our city
trees. In Syracuse, N. Y, they have
the seventeen years locusts At Sioux
City the grasshoppers are eating up every
thing. Gen. Sully says they eat holes
into his wagon covers and the tarpaulins
which cover his stores, and even attack the
men in their sleep, and leaves them bleed
ing from their bites. In Illinois the
chinch bugs have been so bad that far
mer surrounded his corn field with bar
rier of pine boards, covered with coal tar,
outside of which defence he had deep
holes dug in earth, into which the bugs
tumbled in from the tarred boards. He
says he got from thirty to forty bushels
per day, and carried them off by the wag-
onload. Compared with this the measur-
ing worms are harmless, as great nuisance
as we think them. The early and hot sum-
mer seems to have been as prolific in the
animal as in the vegetable life, and pro-
badly are bound together in the same
chain of causes.-Ihiladelphia Ledger.

A Georgia Wedding.

The preacher was prevented from tax
ing his part in the ceremony, and new
ly elected justice of the peace, who
chanced to be present, was called upon
to officiate in his place. The good mans
knees began to tremble, for he had never
tied the knot, and did not know where
to begin. He had no Georgia Justice" !"
or any other book from which to read the
marriage service. The company was ar
ranged in a semi-circle, every one bearing

but all in vain he could recollect nothing
that suited the occasion. A suppressed
litter all over the room admonished him
that he must proceed with something,
and in the agony of desperation he began.
"Know all men by these persents that
P'-here he paused and looked up to the
ceiling, when an audible voice in the cor
neF Of the room was heard to say:
"He is drawing deed to q tract Of
land" and they all laughed.
"In the name of God, amen p he be-
gan again, only to hear another voice in
loud whisper, say;
"He's making his will, l thought he
could not live long, he looks so very bad
"Now lay me down to sleep, pray"
was the next essay, when some erudite
gentleman remarked;
"He is not dead, but sleepeth."
"Oh, yes oh yes p he continued.
Some person out of door sung out, come

Here CLEAN of light flashed acros:
the face of the Squire. He ordered the
bride and groom to hold up their hands
and in solemn voice said

that you will perform towards each othel

SpottsVlYania.

A correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune, who lately visited the battlefield
OF SpOttsylvania, says:
Ghastliest of all ghastly sights upon
this bloody field are the skeletons Of dead
Aen broadcast over the land-the nation s
seed, planted willingly for a glorious har-
vest of Union and, peaee-but never cov-
cred from sight. Within circle of one
hundred and fifty yards, where an unsuc-
cessful assault was made,upon the enemy's
works. | counted City skulls, polished
BY time, rejecting griBly the rays of the
sun, as they fell carelessIy upon the last
memorial ofman. That these so remained
was doubtless due to the fact that both
armies moved away Immediately after
lighting, and have never reoccupied the
spot. But what must be thought of the
farmefs who left these dreadful souveniers
lie on their grounds. | saw one plowing
on the same field where lay skeleton,
and he cody told me that when he came
to it he supposed he would bury it. 'Tis
a pity for human nature that such people
should live.

"And that's the same brandy that Booth

drink of that brandy would make man

The Length of the War.

If we count from the firing on Fort
Sumter, the war lasted few days over
four years and one month; but if We count
from the secession of South Carolina, as
we should, it lasted four years and five
months. During that long and weari-
some, though exciting time, we made his
tory at tremendous rate, writing in blood
red letters and illustrating ii with hun

TIL BE TRUE.

BY the golden summer air,
By the rose and lily rare.
BY the beauty everywhere.
Do swear that I'll be true,
For the love bear to you.
In the silence of the night,
When the stars are glowing bright
Ween the moons soft silvery light
Beams upon my weary sight.
Then to you will be true
For the love bear to you.
When the storms are threatening loud
And there's danger in the cloud.
When with years my form is bowed,
And my life with cares endowed,
Then I'll be true,
To myself, my love, and you.
All the years my lite shall know,
Bring their riches JOY or woe
When with years my form is bowed
And my life with cares endowed
Then I'll love and I'll he true,
To myself my love, and you.
All the years my life shall know
Bring their riches, joy or woe,
When my hair is white as snow,
With the years that come and GO,
Then and always I'll be true.
Then and always love but you.
