Cultivation or Sweet Potatoes,

A Georgia farmer who has gained
some distinction as a practical agricul-
turist, raising large crops, and at the
same time improving the fertility OF

Those Arms and Ammunition Fur
nishcd France in her War with
the Prussians.

The movement initiated by Mr.. Sum-
ner in the United States Senate for an
investigation of the transactions touch
ing the sale of American arms and
ammunition for the use of the soldiers
of France, in the late war between
that people and the Germans, appears
to have stirred up quite commotion
among the immediate adherents of the
Adm .nistration. And it is not aston
ish ny that it should. just at this
time it is exceedingly inopportune.-
That disagrecablc disagreement as to
the legitimate construction Of the
Wash ngton treaty, is still unsettled
and when we remember that the Amer
lean case against Great Britain is
stretched so far as to embrace direct
claim for indirect damages supposed
to have cnsued from the implied inter
ference Of England in favor Of the
Confederacy, this threatened cxposi-
ton of Mr.. Sumner must be as awk-
ward and embarrassing to the Admin.
istration as a bombshell would be in a
ballroom, or the appearance Of a
millionaire would be to his remote rel.
atives who had supposed h IN to be
dead and were enjoying his estate.
As to the insinuations that there is
large sized job covered up in the
affair, it IN y be found difficult to prove
or disprovc it; and even if it be estab.
lished that two or three, or four mill
| ion dollars more were paid for these
war supplies than the government re-
ceived, it would be but another in
stance affording another evidence OF
the profligacy of the times under Rad
zeal rule. But it will not be imprac-
ticable, we presume, to determine
whether the guns and cartridges ship
ped frcm this country to France while
she was at war with the Germans, were
furnished by the aid, or with the
knowledge and consent of the govern
ment, or not And if it shll be as
ccrtaiued that the government did en-
courage or connive at the assistance
thus rendered to one foreign power at
war with another, there will be proof
conclusive of violation Of that neu-
trality for which the Administration
is 'ostcnsibly so scrupulously stick
Ter. 1t would be made to appear that
while our government is demanding
from England an enormous indemnity
not only for los.es Immediately accru-
ing from the deprcdations of Confed-
crate cruisers fitted out in her ports,
but also for consequential losses at
tributcd to that breach of neutrality,
it il stultified by the fact that it has
itself since then gone farther than
England went, in furnishing. or know

Henry Ward Bcecher says Of crows:
Aside from the special questions OF
profit and loss, we have a warm side
toward the crow, he is much like one OF
ourselves. He is lazy, aud that is hu-
man; he takes advantage Of those
weaker than b msell, and that is man
like; he is sly, and hides for Tomorrow
what he can't eat to-day, showing a
real hum n providence; he learns
tricks much faster than he does use
full things, showing true mature;
be likes his own color best, and loves
to hear his voice, which, are EN- nent
traits of humanity; he VIII never work
when he can get another TO work for

whatever he can get his claws upon,
aud is less mischievous with a belly
full than when hungry, and that il
ike man, he is at war with
all living things except his own
kind, and with them be has moth
ing to do. No wonder, then, that men

Age or Man.

Prof. Farady adopts Flourins' phys
biological theory that the natural age of
man is ono hundred years. The dura-
ton of life he believes to be measured
by the time Of growth. When once
the bones and epiphysis are united. the
body grows no more, and it is at twenty
years this union is effected in man. In
the camel it takes place at eight, in the
horse at FIVE, in the lion, at four; in
the dog at two, in the rabbit at one.
The natural termination of life is five
removes from these several points.
Man being twenty years in growing,
lives five times twenty, that is to say
one hundred years, the camel is eight
years in growing, lives five times eight
years, that is to say forty years, the
horse is five years in growing, and lives
twenty-five years, and so with other
animals. The man who does not die OF
sickness, lives, everywhere from eighty
to hundred years. Providence has
given man q century of life, but he
does not attain it, because he inherits
disease, eats unwholesome food, gives
license to passions, and permits vcxa.

he does not die, he kills b m solf. The
Profe ssor .vidcs life into equal halves
growth and decline, and these halves
into infancy, youth, virility, and age
Infancy extends to the twentieth year,
youth to the ffteith because it is dur
| ing this period that the tissues become
firm; virility, from fifty to seventy-fve
during which the organism remains
complete; and at seventy-five, old age
commences to last longer or shorter
time as the diminution of reserved
force is fastened or retarded.

Judg. David Davis.

Judge Davis is native of Mary
land, is now fifty-seven years Of age,
and is one ofthc Judges ofthe Supreme
Court of the United States. Jadge
d lvis graduated at Kenyon College,
Ohio, in 1882; studied law in Mas
sachusetts, and went through the legal
course at Yale College law school. lie
was one of the pioneers of Illinois,
having removed here in 1895, and be-
gan the practice of law in the back
woods. He was elected to the Legis-
lature in 1874, and was in 1877 promi-
ncnt in the convention which formed
the old State Convention. lie was re-
peatedly elected Judge of the Eighth
Judicial circuit OF this State, serving
in all, in this capacity thirteen years.
II was here that he formed the friend
ship of Mr.. Lincoln, which, on both
sides, was one of the most remarkable
that ever existed between two men,
They rode the circuit together, year
after year, and rarely separated, except
from necessity. Probably Judge Da-
Wis knew Lincoln better than any other
human being ever knew him, not ex-
cepting his own wife. In December,
1862, Lincoln appointed him one ofthe
justices of the supreme court, and he
at once established himself with the
court and bar as one Of the strongest
judges on the American bench.
Physically, Judge Davisi very large
and portly, and weighs nearly three
hundred pounds. He s," writes cor.

The Confederate Archives.

A Mr.. Stone, of New York, gives
the following bit Of information con-
corning the disposal made of the Con-
federate archives at the surrender:
On the morning Of Mr.. Davis cap
turc, says Mr. Stone, David Tilgman

said: by this you may see the dispo-
sition OF the roads. Ifyou come with
me you will be able to leave the coun-
try IN safety. ii you do not, you W II
be captured in five hours" To this
Mr.. Davis curly replied, he knew his
own business best. Tllgman contin.
ucd, Very we'll, sir, / have been in
trusted with the treasure and archives,
and propose to secure them, even at
the peril of the loss of your favor and
my LIFE. | shall start at once by the
way have marked out" The result
is well known. In less than five hours
Mr.. Davis was a prisoner, but the ar
ch'ves were safe. When, few weeks
after, in the reeesses Of the forest,
Tllgman learned that all was lost, he,
alone, with his own hands, buried the
treasure and archives, aud unless dur
ing the four years that clap ed between
his parting with me aud his untoward
death he revealed the spot, the secret
as to the whereabouts Of the arch YES
is forever buried. As long as they can
be kept from the ken of nan, so long
shall the story be a monument 10 our
