When JEFF. Davis was confined in Fortress
Monroe one D. f. Moore, an Iowa soldier,
who was one OF the guard, stole from him a
Photographic album, containing family pho.
tographs and those of his staff, and distin-
guisned Confederates with him. Although
every effort was made, it could not be dis
covered at the time who had taken the book.
Some time in August D. E. Moore mailed a
letter from Waterloo, Iowa, to some person
at Erie, Pa, offering the album for sale, fix
ing the price at forty-tiye dollars, this being
the price Moore claimed Barnum had on a
previous occasion offered him. The Erie
man, instead of responding to Moore, sent
the letter to Jefferson Davis. Davis wrote
to ex-senator George W. Jones, OF Iowa, at
Dubuque, sending him the letter and
asking him to get the album, if pos
sibie. Moore was found in Iowa county,
and the albam seized from him under q writ
Of replevin by an officer. The trial as to the
right of the property was postponed until
the S5th instant, In order to give Mr. Davis
time TO furnish; the evidence OF his rightand

cit was Joe Sweeney, of Lynchburg, Va.
He first brought the banjo, speaking OF that,
into notoriety, in 1886, '37, '3S, and 49,,
travelling with circuses. His success was
nearly equal to T. D. Rice's. During the
winter seasons he played star engagements
throughout the United States, singing the
songs of Johnny Booker VIA did You
come FROM Who's dat niger dara -peeping,'
etc. Before the regular band, he went TO Eng
land, Ireland, and Scotland, singing with
much success. After organizing company
of his own, he died in Washington, in 1856
or '57."

A PECULIAR CAsE.-The peculiar Peo-
ple,'' as a religious sect in England style
themselves, certainly deserve the name.
This sect, which had its inception five or six
wears a.o, has thousands of believers, and
has within year or two given the authOri-
ties good deal Of trouble, for it is alleged
they have let their sick die, refusing them
the advantages of the proper medical skill
which would have prolonged their lives. A
clse of more than usual Importance was re-
Gently beard before the learned justice, Baron
Piggot, at London, when one Thomas Hines,
one OF the "Pecuiar People," was tried for
msnslauehter in having contributed to the
death OF his child by neglecting to provide
il with proper food and medical attendance
during its illness. The prisoner produced
evidence to show that he had given the child
proper food and nursing; that he was
believer in the mandates Of the Bible,
and that the child had been treated in exact
accordance with those mandates. The evil
dence was clear to the point that all tender
ness and love and attention were shown the
child, the only thing lacking being medical
aid, which, if it had had, said a physician
who made post m1ortena examination, it
would have lived. The learned judge, how
ever, decided that it was no case for a jury !;
that by no law of England was the prisoner
bound to call in physician, and that as he
did what he believed to be best for the good
of the child, he must be discharged. The
decision seems to bea just one, but it is sad
to think that children should perish for the
want of medical aid. CuriouslY enough, it
is found to be difficult to controvert the
grounds upon which the &c Pecular People"
Ease their action. They find their authority
in the General EpiStle of James, chapter 3,
verses Il and Is, which run in this wise:
"Is any sick among you? let him call on
the Elders of the Church, and let them pray
over him, amounting him with oil in the
name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith
shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed SINS they
shall be forgiven him."
OF course it should be apparent to every
thinking person that the faculty of research,
by which mankind has been able to discover
means of succor for the sick, is providen-
tial endowment, and its exercise cannot be
wrong, but the Peculiar People" meet this
by asserting that such argument is review
ING and setting aside the authoritative ex-
preston of the Divine will by the human
reason. From this alleged impiety they re-
volt, and no little difficulty is experienced in
making logical rejoinder.- Baltimore Ame.

The Growing Crops.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 30
THE National Crop Reporter, published
today, has returns from 1913 correspond
ents, covering 1925 counties in the States
of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and
Texas, In relation to the area planted this
season in cotton and corn in those States.
Deductions are also published from the
estimates of correspondents in relation to
the total of spring and winter wheat now
in the ground in the States of Illinois,
Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Ohio and Wisconsin. The following is
an abstract of the principal information
furnished:
In the matter of cotton there is shown
a falling off from the area planted last
wear averaging in the four States first
named 14.6 per cent The decrease in area
is 1874 per cent. in Alabama, "a per cent
in Arkansas, 204 per cent. in Mississippi,
and So per cent. in Texas.
CORN.
The area devoted to corn In the same
States is placed at an increase over last
year to the extent of 81 per cent.
The increase is given as 1O.4
per cent. in Alabama, 9.4 per cent.
in Arkansas, 8 per cent. in Mississippi,
1916 per cent. in Texas. The stand OF
both cotton and corn in the States named
was, May IS, much below full stand, al
though the stand of corn was better than
that of cotton. In Louisiana the major
ity of the reports received speak OF con-
siderable portion of the land as overlooked
in all the four States. The lateness of the
season very much delayed, and, although
much of the replanting which became
necessary had been accomplished at the
date of the reports, there will still be a
good deal of land lie idle.
WHEAT.
The estimates of correspondents in the
eight Western States previously men
toned indicate an average increase in
the total area of wheat of 8 2-10 per cent.
The increase is IA per cent. in Illinois, l
$40 per cent. in Indiana, Is $40 per cent.
in Iowa, "a per cent. in Kansas, 3 ITO per
cent. in Minnesota, II 4-10 per cent. in
Missouri, per cent. in OHIO, and 40
per cent in Wisconsin.
The general condition Of growing grain
at the date of the last report was all that
could be desired, although the crop in
Iowa has suffered somewhat from the dep
relations of grasshoppers.

application and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
