Near q late New Jersey camp-meeting,
two clergymen, Baptist and a Method
st, were walking, when they saw little
girl sitting on a stone, who was weeping
bitterly. What is the matter, my little
grip" asked the Baptist kindly. Ny
may father was k-killed on the railroad
and has Just been buried, sir; and my
mother is sick abed and can't work, and
we hayn't nothing to eat and don't know
what to DO sobbed the little girl, crying
as if her heart would break. A truly
lamentable case do indeed pity you," "
said the Baptist, frigidly, as if he were
plying some ioe-cream he could not eat
" How much do you pity her, Brother C. ?
/ pity her Eve dollars, yelled the Meth
odist as he threw a V into the girls lap.
"I double your pile, Brother P.," the
Baptist brother said, as he slowly placed
an X over the V. Il 20 you .one bet

ting excited as a twenty from his purse
was put on the rapidly increasing pile.
"Tll top the spous with fifty, howled
Brother p, as he drew out his last note
and placed the sum with the others,
glaring savagely at his companion.
Here's a hundred dollar note, little
girl, !" said the Baptist quite blandly, now
that he had got ahead of his Methodist
brother-in-the-Lord; you may rake in
the spoils, for you've cleaned out and
euchred both my friend and myself. "
Then they walked Off humming hymn.
Now what we would like to know is

BeastIy Drunkenness Among the
Army Omcers In Arizona.

VtAs,t@e -
The Tusoon Citizen contains the fol-
lowing extract from the report Of the
United States grand jury of Pima
county, Arizona:
- We find that the habit OF beastly
drunkenness has generally prevailed,
with a few marked exceptions, among
the officers commanding at Camp Grant,
Camp Goodwin and Camp Apache,
where the Apache Indians have been
led; that the rations issued at these
camps to the Indians have frequently
been insufficient for their support and
unjustly distributed, sometimes bones
being issued instead of meat; that one
Qua rtermaster of the United States said
he mad made surplus of $4,000 pounds
Of corn in issuing rations TO the Indians
Of Camp Goodwin.
=" We find that a commanding otiicer,
viii lie commanding at Camp Apache, gave
liquor to the Apache indians and got
beastly drunk with them from whisky be-
longing to the hospital department OF
the United States Government; also that
another officer of the United States
array gave liquor to said Indians at said
camp; that officers of the United States
army at these camps where the Indians
are fed are in the habit Of using their
official position to break the chastity Of
the Indian women.
"In concl usion of the labors Of this
United Stat, IS grand jury, we would say
that five h undred of our neighbors,
friends and fellow-citizens have fell by
the murderin g hand OF the Apache In
dian, clothing I in the garb OF mourning
the family cir Gle in many OF the ham
lets, towns an L cities Of all the States
of our country. This blood cries fre@
the ground to the American people for
jus stice-justic to all men"

I'VE stated" says the Gulois, "a few
days ago that in many parts Of Paris
small subscriptions are being raised
among families and neighbors, in order
to send bouquets to the Empress on her
fete day. Since then we have received
many persons desirous Of joining in this
manifestation Of good feeling. These
letters are numerous, for the Empress
has left in Paris many Of all classes who
are indebted 10 her for kindness. Let
those, then, who have any sentiment Of
grateful recollection meet in their family
circles and arrange the flowers which,
sent to one in exile, will remind her Of
those mothers and children Of the great
family from which she Is nov separated

ing daily. -E7ts

Ell Perkins" writes to the New York
Commercial Advertiser:
The expected trouble has come. Rit-
ualism and High Churchism, which have
been exciting the minds of DR.. Ever
and his Episcopalian parishioners,
smelted to white heat last night. Yes
trymen were excited. A meeting was
speedily improvised. Charges were
made, supported by afiidavits, that DR..
Ever had established the confessional.
DR.. Ever Indignantly sent in his resig-
nation, with twelve page letter defend
ingshis course, and the Church was in q
religious convulsion. | have it from the
best authority that it has been proved,
and admitted by DR.. Ever, that eight
ladies have been accustomed to come to
daily confessional. This has been kept
a secret. An ex-vestryman first made
an affidavit that his wife, beautiful wo-
man, had been in the habit Of making
daily confession to DR.. Ever, and one
Of the names of the other ladies came
out. Many laymen were fearfully in
dignant, and in fact the whole Church
was thrown into state OF CONSERVATION
and alarm. DR.. Ever is openly charged
with the secret intention Of quietly car
rying his entire Church over, first to
High Church ritualism, and then to
Catholicism. DR.. Morgans, DR.. Potter $,
DR.. Montgomerys, DR.. Howland's and
DR.. Sabines churches are greatly agi-
tated at DR.. Ewer's confessional devel-
opments, and the entire Episcopacy of
the city await with feyerish anxiety the
final result.

AudersOuviIIe-Gr Responsible
for its Horrors.

A letter from Thomas Barlow appears
in the Albany Argus, which charges
sauarely home upon Ulysses S. Grant
tbe responsibility for the horrors of An
dersonyille. The Confederate Commits
sioners Of Exchange of Prisoners re-
peatedly urged the authorities at Wash
inpton to permit an exchange; but
Grant refused to allow it. He testhes
that more lives were lost by Grants tel
egrams than all the British soldiers
killed in the wars Of Napoleon" and
these lives we're spent as O part Of the
svstem of attack upon the rebellion de-
signed by the wisdom OF the general-in-
chief of the armies, to destroy it by de-
pletion.
10 receive any more prisoners on ex-
change. Our poor boys in prison we're
eherterixed by Meredith as being thou
sands Of loathesome skeletons, and our
commander refused TO exchange them
that they might live.
From the time that Grant refused to
exchange, in April, 1864, Butler said he
sought to accomplish an exchange. But
Ter said exchange; the rebel authorities
said exchange; but Grant said no. there
shall be no exchange.
His policy was to let them starve as a
mea sure 70 prevent the liberty Of rebel
prisoners in our own well-provision-
ed prisons. The FINAL fatal order
oe Giant, which was a death warrant to
thousands OF our soldiers, was on the
18th Of August, 1864, which closed the
door Of hope 70 all prisoners.
Our boys had become so reduced by
starvatiOR and filth as to be deemed
ruined for future service, and therefore
we're cast beyond the pale Of humanity
in the estimatian Of an aspiring general,
who considered them as dead, and they
uere deemed fit only to be left in the
prave e. Andersonville. We will let the
,eIegram Of Grant speak for itself;
"On the subject Of exchange I differ
from General Hitchcock; It is hard on

Surface Manuring,

Now that the harvest is gathered and
housed, the next subject in order is that OF
manure-how to make the most Of the sources
of supply at hand. and how to dispose Of the
manure when procured The supply of home
made will never become adequate TO our needs,
and it is only by means of the greatest care
fulness and diligence that sufficient can be
gathered together to keep life in our soil.
" Feed your soil when it is hungry says an
old proverb, in which case the proverb is not
concentrated wisdom at all, nor indeed
wisdom of any kind. Soil should never be
allowed to become hungry. Before this eau
occur damage is being done, to repair which
will need some manure to be expended, leav-
ing less for present needs. With all our
economy we shall never have manure sufficient
to supply our wants. 1t should therefore be
matter Of study how to apply what we have
or can procure, that it may do most good. BY
spreading on the surface we get not only the
strength and fertility of the manure, but what.
ever benefit occurs from protecting or mulch.
ing the soil Bare straw undecomposed has
been found to exert a good influence by the
mere covering il has afforded, and heavy crops
which afford dense shade, as peas, clover, or
buckwheat, are reckoned to benefit the soil sim.
ply from the shading. Then the spreading of
manure on the surface, to remain there during
the time the land is lying idle between crops,
will have this effect, which will be additional
to the direct manurial benefits accruing. Gar.
deners follow this system, aud farmers could
not follow better lead than that Of the gar
deners. The more nearly the condition Of the
farm approaches that of the garden, the nearer
approach will be made in size and value of
the crops, and in nothing can we learn more
than in their system Of manuring.
