Wheat for Horses.

The proprietor of an extensive mail
route in the Southwest where the grass
hoppers have destroyed nearly every
thing, except wheat, writes that he has
contracted for 10000 bushels of wheat,
at so cents per bushel, to feed his
horses. So far they have done WE'LL

oats. suppose the only danger is
from the horses eating too much at a

still better, but | suppose this cannot

The Way American History Was
Once Written.


Once Written.
Boston Advertisers Review of Bancroft's
Tenth Volume)
Mr.. Bancroft is Familiarity charged
with writing the history Of the Revolu-
ton in the interest of Washington and
Franklin, and making them out to b
perfect, while he Sights or misuses al
the inferior actors. This charge has no
foundation in truth. He is really very
fair, and knows better than his critics
do how to make allowance for failure,
which could not but exist in such times.
The charge has been nursed by the
amazement, which naturally grew into
indignation, first Of individuals and
then of that indefinite being, sthe gen.
eral public when they all learned that
the seven years of the American Revo-
luton was not an exceptionable period,
in which all who went and came were
saints, Solons and Caesars. BY an in
genious system Of writing history,
under which the American youth Of
the first half Of this century were
brought up. all defeats were omitted,
all treasons. kept Arnold's passed over,
all follies forgotten, all cheats forgiven.
and one clear sky Of virtue unclouded
was the background Of the whole mar
ratiye from the moment of Paul
Revere ride till that closing scene
when amid the tears of thousands
Washington sheathed his sword at An
napolis.s The curious lad who read
sometimes asked meekly, when he found
how bravely Wayne took Stony Point,
how it came into English hands at all !
But neither book nor teacher gave any
answer to such impertincnt questions.
Coward still the Yankee lion bore,
And still the scattered Briton fed before"
Nothing, therefore, could we'll be
more amazing to race of grandchild.
rem and great-grandchildren. as they
read the four volumes Of Mr.. Bancroft S
Revolution, than to find that this man
Numbered, that that one stole. that an
other was in the pay of France. and yet
another was such confessed fool that
nobody trusted him with any authority.
To learn that that assembly of sages,
which men called the Congress Of Con-
federation. dwindled deWn into an as
sembly Of incompetent twaddlers be-
fore the war was done. has been, per-
haps. a surprise almost startling. But
really we do not see tina. the fault, in
this view Of the drama or of the per-
formers, is to be charged on the man
why pulls the curtain aside. If these
people were fools he could not make
them leave sensible records behind
them. To take him to task is really
to ask him to falsify history. His real
offense seems to be, not SO much that
he discloses the imperfections Of the men
who stumbled and fell, as that he proves
them.

youth from the neighborhood Of

been working in the city for several
weeks, was before Justice Moselcy yes

ordered to strip for the infection Of the

lice to cut his throat and kill him, saw
inc he had rather die than submit to
the disgrace. The lashes were well laid
on by Policeman Williams, Trammell
seeming to suffer greatly under their
infection. He is youth Of some sew

Swine.-Fat hogs should be fni shed
up as fast as possible. Those intended
for home use. should be finished upon
dry shcllcd corn. with pure water only
for drink. THIS will produce firm hard
pork. Store hogs will do best upon
cooked food, and in place Of corn, boiled
potatoes and bran will make excellent
feed. Buckwhea. is too heating food
for pigs, and should be avoided. Brood
sows may have the company of the
Boar. if pigs are wanteb in March. The
increased value of the first litter Of
pigs, will pay for pure bred boar.
Nothing is more certain than that it
pays to breed only from pure blooded
males, Of whatever kind or breed they
may be. But blood will not stand in
place Of feed. Blooded pigs are most
profitable and thrive best where there
is full corn crib.

A. Beechcs aud by Mrs. T. E. Hendricks,
who hopes soon to return to her cherished
work in Africa. The Treasurer reported that

and Mission bands during the past year,
amounted to about $e,627 an increase of
more than $1,000 over last year. This is in adj

Foreign Missions, and speaks plainly of the
zeal and devotion of the women of the
churches in this part of the State.

ca, with his wife, as a missionary by Rev. j.

where he alighted from the train, and after a
short but spirited speech, Invested himself Of
his outer garment and commenced his walk
not over red-hot plow-shares as is the fashion
to do in the East Indies, but over four miles
of ties, besides incarring the risk Of being
frightened at a coal train.

AocIDENT--ARM BRoKEN.-As Mr.. e. B.
Holcombe, of Mount Airy, was returning
from the City few days ago, an arm of one
of the axles of his wagon broke square off,
Mr.. H. was thrown from the buggy and landed
on the tip end of his nose, in the midst of
pool of mud and water, but owing to the soft
ness of the earth and the elasticity of the
foregocr of all mankind, he sustained no Sc
rious injuries. On extricating himself, his
appearance bafled description. His harness
was in terrible plight, while on his phiz and
golden locks were mud enough to have made
a bed Of mortar, the souse being entirely hid
den from view. Arriving at home, several
hogsheads of water were required to rinse
him off, and some of us thought Fire Com
pany would have to be sent for to make
clean thing of it, but the neighbors turned
out manfully, and the mud was removed by
home industry. CAPT. JACK.

ED. REcoRp lin your last weeks issue
there was a communication signed I" Property
O,oner," in which he quotes from the ver-
dict of the Coroner's Jury, in regard to the
Fall River disaster, and intimates that if the
members of the Hook 6 Ladder Co. of that
place had gone through with a drill like that
proposed for the Il. W. H. & l.. Co., they
would have acted very differently. Ii they
had gone through 800 drills they would have
been no better off than they were at the time
of the fire in regard to the saving of precious
lives. Does our Property Owner or the Cor
oner's Jury, suppose that one or two Com
panies of Hook & Ladder men are sufficient
at a moments warning to go to a fire and take
out safely all the persons employed in a five
story building. the inmates numbering by the
hundreds, and every one of them panic strick-
cn and not able to help themselves? Suppose
the Cotton Factory, or Sproat Sc Sons Mills,
to take fire, does Property Owner sup
pose that the f. w. could get there, and the
members raise their ladders and remove all
that are employed, before there were num-
bers of them killed or burned-in attempting
to save themselves from the flames II is all
bosh ! The remedy for all this is to have
enough proper exits, so that those employed
in large Factories can, at moments warning,
leave their work and also the building then
we will not hear of Fall River disasters any
more. He says he doesn't think there is interest
enough shown by the members of the f. W.,
or they would surely have drills and exercises
occasionally. If the members of that Co. do
not take any interest, pray tell me who it is
that does? 1t only requires little obserya-
ton to convince one that somebody has TAX
en- an interest in the Co. There is about $4,-
900 worth of property, Truck House and fix
