The Yankees have a pleasant way of
joking man on his miSf0rtuDes. Re-
Gently one Of them had his room robbed
of a gold watch, and a well-iilled pOck-
etbOok, whereupOn some of his friends
assembled and presented him with an
other watch, made of brass, and about
FOUR inches in diameter, and also a Ieath-
er wallet, containing Confederate scrip.
Fenian bonds and pTivBte notes to the
full nominal amount Of the robbery
Engraved on the back the watch were
the words. Lay up your good treasures
in heaven, where thieves do not break
through and steal A presentation
speech was made, closing with the coup
let:
"He who would wear watch two things must
do:
Pocket his watch and watch his pocket too"

ONE LINK GONE.

Take the pillows from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtains, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam Of day.
Spread the pail upon the table,
Place the Iifelcss body there;
Back from OF the marble features
Ley the auburn curlS with care.
WitlI- little bluC-ycined finger,
Crn~sed upon its sinleSs breast.
Free from care, and pain and anguish.
Let the infant cherub rest.
smooth It's little shroud about it;
Pick IFS toys from of the floor;
They, with all their sparkling beauty,
Nc'or can charm their owner more.
Take The little shoes and stockings
Frotn the doting mothers sight;
Patterin- feet no more will need them,
Walking i'm the fields Of light
Parents faint and worn with watching
Through the long dark night Of grief,
Draw your tears and sooth your signing
Gain a respite OF relief
Mother, care is no more needed
To allav the rising moan;
And though you, perchance may leave it,
II can never DE alone.
Angels bright viii watch beside il
In its quiet holy sIumber,
Til the morning then awake it
To "a place among their number
Thus "a golden link iS broken
Tn the chain Of earthly bliss,
Thus the distance shorter making
'Twixt the brighter world and this.

A Heavy Reduction OF General Sher
mans Salary.


The great question which has hereto
fore defeated the Army Bill has been
settled, viz. General Sberman's salary.
That officer has magnanimOusly con-
sented to an immense reduction of it-a
reduction that we fear will render it i'm
possible for him to make his two finan-
cial ends meet, 1t is reduced from SlS,-
600 to Sl7,O 900 year. Was there ever
before such q badly used man? The pri-
Yates in his army, yea, its officers, who
of course are rolling in wealth and luXu-
ry on their old army pay, will hear with
concern and alarm that General Sher-
man has been absolutely condemned to
live on the trifling sum OfSI7, 500 q year.
Who will deny hereafter that republics
are Vngrateful-partiCularly to their
military commanders ? Poor Sherman's
pay is now only .fOrty-cigHt dollars q
ddy Does any one suppose that u
gentleman can live upon such miserable
pittance as that? Ought there not TO
be Il contribution Immediately gotten up
in his behalf2 The emergency is press
ing, for ID is to be feared that with a
salary of only two dollars an hour, day
and night, the distinguished commander
will be reduced to desperate straits.

superfine flour, is detached with the
/ bran by the ordinary process, and so
| lost to the consumers of fine white flour.
The bran alone is as free from nutrition
as so much Eastwood, and being rich in
silica, is the chief cause Of the attTitiOn
and bunting of mill-stOnes. Inside of
the bran is the deposit of starch which
forms the ordinary fine wheat flour.
The process invented by III. E. Weiss,
of Switzerland, for removing the bran
only, without the gluted coating, has
been received with favor by scientific
journals and practical men of Europe,
and is well worthy a trial here, if, as we
assume, it has not already been tried.
1t consists simply in mOistening the
wheat, before grinding, in a solution of
caustic soda in water, 140 pounds Of the
liquid, OF Z per cent. being required for
1000 pounds of grain. 1t is prepared by
dissOlving 68 pounds of Caustic soda in
133 pounds of water. The sleeping may
be from fifteen to twenty minutes, and
may be done in watts similar to those
used by brewers. The caUstic solution
sWells and lOOsens the hull proper, so
that it may be removed by the slightest
friction, leaving the gluten with the
body of the grain. The flour thus pre-
pared is as white as the present super
fine, contains all the highly nutritive
properties of the Graham and bran
breads, without their heaviness and
sourness, and there is a pereeptibly less
waste in grinding. The success of the
experiment can be easily tested and COM
pared with the present mode of remOv-
ing the bran and gluten together, by the
aid of a microscope and a solution of
iodine. The iodine, having the proper
ty to turn all nitrOgenOus substances yell
low, if applied to a cross section Of
wheat, separated from its bran in this
manner, will show the gluten coating
as a bright yellow, clearly defined from
the starch granules, which turn, under
the iodine, to deep violet. The Ordina-
ry -four, on the other hand, will show
the violet only, while the bright yellow
portion remains with the BRAN Chicago
Tribune.

PhO.phato BEDS In South Carolina.

Much interest has been excited with
in a few years past by the discovery of
extensive beds of phosphate of lime at
the mouth of the Ashly and Cooper riv-
ers, near Charleston, these covering
from three to four hundred square miles
to depth of from six inches to three
feet, and resting Immediately above a
depOsite of eOcene mari. The phOs-
phate consists mainly of nodules formed
around eOcene shells as a nucleus, and
furnishing about sixty per cent. phOs-
phate of lime. Among the nOdules
are found sharks teeth and eOcene
shells like those of the mari beneath
and, according to Professor Smaller, re-
sembling the species at Gay Head, on
Martha's Vineyard. In the upper lay
eT of this bed occur bones of the mastO-
don, of extinct horses and sheep, and
bits Of pottery. Although some geOlO.
gists consider these as belonging to the
same period as that of the phosphate
beds themselves, in Professor Shaler's
opinion they were introduced at a later
period by the agency Of water. Profess
sOr Shaler thinks that these beds were
formed, after their Upheaval, from the
marls beneath them; that the drainage
Of surface-wateE charged with carbOnie
acid upon the upper layer of the mari
and removed the carbonate of lime,
leaving the phosphate to accumulate in
the nOdules around the shells He does
not pretend to account for the original
appearance Of phOsphOric acid, which
he thinks too great in quantity to have
been derived from the bones of verte-
brate animals. He suggests, however,
that it might have been derived from
seaweeds, some kinds of which are
know to contain it in appreciahle guam
tity and possibly from some pterOpOd
mOllusks, Professor ShaleT looks upon
the phosphate beds in question as in the
main much like the sea bottom Off the
southern ceast, the recent dredgings and
soundings from which have been found
to contain an appTeciable percentage of
phOsphOric acid.-HdTpe1's Magazine.

Grants Opinions.

Grant says that he has not given any adj
vice or expressed any opinion with regard
to the admission of the United States SEN
ators from Georgia, elected at the time the
State was recognized.
His advice and opinion on any question
not connected with horses and dogs are
not of much value, but it would simply
be respectable in him to have an opinion
and express it in plain terms on the cues
ton of the eligibility of the Senators. It
was at his suggestion that Georgia was
again bedeviled under the management of
Bullock AS General of the Army, he
had entire supervision of the processes by
which a State government was re-estab-
lished under the reconstruction infamy.
He ought to know whether the State com
piled with the provisions of the infamy.
He ought to know whether the Legisla-
ture was lawfully elected.
He is singularly destitute of opinions,
and careful in giving advice. In his an
nual message, there were but two or three
recommendations which attracted atten-
ton. One was that the Secretary of the
Treasury should be authorized to shave
the legai-tender notes, and another was
that our present iniquitous tariff laws
should stand.
As there is not the most remote proba-
bility that Congress will pay any more
attention to his opinions than to the buz
zing of mosquito, he need not be afraid
Of expressing them.-ChicGgo Times.

THE best liquid bee feed can be made
from good white or brown sugar and
water. The better the sugar the better
the bees relish it. 1t should be boiled. 1t
is useless to skim off the scum if you boil
it long enough. 1t should be, when cold,
about the consistency of honey. There
can be candy made of sugar which is de-
cidedly better for late feeding than any
liquid feed. The following is recipe for
making it, taken from Langstroth: Add
water to sugar, and clarity the syrup with
eggs; put about teaspoonful of cream
of tartar to about twenty pounds of sugar,
and boil until the water is evaporated.
To know when it is done, first dip your
finger into cold water and then into the
syrup. If what adheres is brittle when
chewed, it is boiled enough. Pour it into
shallow pans, slightly creased, and when
cold, break it into pieces of suitable sizes.
-Four pounds of candy will, it is said, sus-
tain colony having scarcely any winter
