Handsome Bsque.t to ssOnewall Jackson. Widow
From the Memphis Avalanche, July s,l

From the Memphis Avalanche July S0l
During the month of February, 1873
against the positive instructions of his at
torneys, Mr.. E. M. Apperson, Of this city,
as executor of Wade II. Bolton, paid over
to Mrs. T. j. Jackson the sum of s., COO,
half the sum beqneathed to her husband,
General Stonewall jackson, who fell In &C.
ton at Charlottesville, Va, in 1863, while
commanding corps of Confederate troops,
At an interview on the7aRbiect with Mr..
Apperson yesterday he stated thaS the
heirs of the Bolton estate have been in
litigation for some time past concerning the
distribution of the property, and while this
legal contest remains undecided the attor-
neys deem it unwise for him to pay any
requests not ordered by the courts. Con-
trary to this advice, however, and solely
becanse Mrs. Jackson has stated that she
sadly needed the money, the executor has
paid her half of the be quest, as above no.
ted. He has also paid the several heirs
considerable sums on account of their pros
pective inheritances.
The Valae of the personal property be-
longing to the Wade Bolten estate is esti-
mated at $50O, 900. h claim as set up in
the courts some years ago by Wash Bolten
and Tom Dickens, his former business
partners against Ike aud Wade Bolten for
all their estate is worth. Should the courts
decide in favor of the claimants there will
be little or nothing remaining after salts
flying the judgment.
At the time Wade Bolton made the be.
quest of $4,000 to Mrs. Jack con, he was in
hourly expectation of losing his life by VIC
lence. Having expressed q desire to do
something to enable his name to live in
the memory of future generations uncon-
nected with evil deeds, Mr.. AppersQn him
self suggested donation to Mrs. Jackson
IF S25, 600. Bolton liked the idea, but re-
1uced the beQuest to 1000.
After his death, which happened q few |
months subsequent to the time of making |
The bequest, Mr.. Apperson wrote and in |
iormed Mrs. Jackson of the matter, telling |
Ter also that as soon as the terms of the |
aw could be complied With, the sum should |
70 made subject to her order.

A SMILE costs the giver nothing; yet
it is beyond price to the erring and re-
penting, the sad and cheerless, the lost
and forsaken. It disarms malice,
subdues temper, turns enmitv to love,
and revenge to kindness.

Practical SUGGESTIONS.

THERE are said to be upward of a
hundred private mansions near New
York city which employ windmill pow
er for pumping water, saving wood,
grinding, threshing grain, etc. The
American Manufacturer states that in
many instances they are superseding
steam engines, water-wheels, hydraulic
rams, z horsepower, and caloric-en-
gines, being run without cost, except
for lubriesting oil. These mills are not
only noiseless, as now constructed, but
they are also self-regulating.
Sow Hungarian grass from April l to
July, any time sow broadcast, and not
less than three-quarters of bushel for
seed, or a bushel and half to two bush
els for hay, per acre. Hungarian and
mlllet are cultivated alike, but the for
mer is better for hay. It resists drought
with great pertinacity, and does we'll on
dry, light soil. When sown thicklv il
does not head out readily, and makes
fine, nutritious hay. The prejudice
that exists in some minds against the
grass is not well founded. When soyn
thinly and ripened, it produces large
quantity of seed, and this fed to horses.
without Judgment, Las produced unfa-
yorable results II cut before the heads
mature any trouble from this source is
avoided.

A German Lake and Its Fish.

In Smiths " Wonders" we read that
none of the curiosities of Germany are
more surprising than the Lake Circnitz,
In CarnioJa, and the method Of taking
it's fish. The lake is or 5 miles long,
and 2 miles broad. The most wonder
full circumstance is it's ebbing and flow
ing inJune andSeptember, when it runs
Off through eighteen holes, which form
as many eddies or whirlpools. Nalvasor
mentions singular mode of fishing in
these holes, and says that when
the water has entirely run off
into its subterraneous reservoirs the
peasant ventures with a light into
that cavity, which runs into hard rock
three Or four fathoms underground, to
a solid bottom, whence the water run
ming in small holes as through a sieve,
the 4lsh are left behind and caught, as
1T were, In net provided by Nature.
On the first appearance of it's ebbing,
a bell is rung at Circnitz, on which all
the peasants in the neighbering villages
prepare for fishing in these ebbings.
An incredible number of pike, trout,
cells, tensh, perch, ETC., are thus caught.
One OF the common practices, as men
toned by more than one old writer, is
to place board painted white along
the edge of the boat, which, rejecting
the moons rays into the water, induces
the fish to spring towards it, supposing
1t to be moving sheet of water, when
they fall into the boat.

thing to do, is to rent out most of your
land, Or let it out on shares, reserving
your home, and say ten or twenty acres
of land for your fruit growing opera
tons, and if you have love for the
business, and go about it systematically
and energetlcally, you will make more
money from ten acres of land than you
have ever made from your farm, and
that too, with less real hard work,
Plant only of leading, WELT tried sorts
that are hardy and productive, give
them good cultivation, and plenty of
mulch, and You will reap a large re-
ward, and, too, this kind of work makes
less hard the women folks, and besides,
supplies the table with fruit daily
throughout the years. There are farm
ers who have no liking for growing
fruit; but as rule, these have sons or a
son who have, and who do not like
farming. These are very anxious to
keed their sons on a farm, away from
the city. To such we say, let such a
have the use of a few acres to grow
small fruits; and the longer he is en-
gagged in it the more he will like it, and
consequently his attachment for home
is strengthened, and, too, by this the
trade is supplied with luxuries you
would not dispense with after one sea-
sons experience. There are so many
inland towns and cities notsupplied with
fruit and vegetables, that we advise the
readers of this paper to take advantage
of such openings. -SnadU Fruit Re-

An English Private Library.

Probably the largest, and certainly
the most valuable, private library in the
world is at Althorp, the immortal resi-
dence of the Spencers, of Northampton
shire, England. It embraces more than
$4,000 volumes. which occupy suite of
rooms opening into each other on the
ground floor of the mansion. The
library was accumulated by the second
Earl of Spencer, who, when he came in
to the Inheritance of Althrop,
found there only the ordinary
collection of books met with in every
large country-house. It became
the ambition of this nobleman to create
a library of magnificent proportions,
and he spared no expense to secure all
the rare and precious volumes that were
by any means attainable. Day by day
he added to his collection treasure after
treasure in the way of tall copies, I'M
cut copies, and unique copies; and
Charles Lewis was kept busy retouch-
ing old bindings and decorating the
choice volumes of Caxton and Wynkin de
Worde in the most elegant manner
known to the "bibleopogistic art.
The series of apartments in which the
volumes are ranged, all in rich and ap-
propriate bindings, is so long that, &C
cording to Dibdi1, who has described
the collection at length, ga Shetland
pony might be conveniently kept, in
ready comparison, to carry the more
delicate visitor from one extremity to
the other" One room of large dimep-
sions is devoted to books printed be
fore 1900. Among these are Aldines of
ovonnlIr1r 1o,,rr of
Caxtons, Pysons, and de Wordes.
Here is the celebrated Valdarfer Boo
cacio, for which the Marquis of Bland
ford paid, at the Roxburghe sale,
e2, 300 the largest sum ever
given for a single volume, OR
for any book except the Mazarine Bible
in two volumes, which, at the sale of
the Perkins Library in June, 1873,
brought G2,69O. 1t was the competition
between Lord Spencer and Lord Bland
ford which sent the price of the Boo
cacio to so great height; but Lord
Spencer subsequently obtained the
volume for the comparatively modest
sum of 9918. The book is in fine con-
dition, and was put by Charles Lewis
into dress of green morocco, orna-
mented with gold, and stamped with
the arms of the Duke of Roxburgh and
Earl Spencer. The treasures in
the sold Book-Room are more
carefully protected than the rest of the
collection. AS general rule, no book
can be taken from its place save by the
Librarian. The catalogue of the library
is contained in series of small vol
umes arranged in cabinet. Each book
entered here has it's number, referring
to large general volume, which gives
its situation in the library Few stran-
gers are admitted to the privilege of pass
ing through this " Paradyse of Boxes, "
as Dibdin calls it, which is not open to
the public; and fewer still are allowed
the pleasure of taking in hand the rarest
and most precious volumes.

Preventing the Decay of Shingles.

Take a large kettle or tub thatfull
hold about barrel, and fill it half the
OF wood ashes or potash lye; add to the
liquid about three pounds of alum and
as much salt as will dissolve in the
mixture. Make the liquor quite warm,
and put as many shingles in it as can be
conveniently wetted at once. Stir them
up thoroughly, and when well soaked
tale them out and put in more, renew
ing the liquor as necessary. Then lay
the shingles, when dry, in the usual
manner. After they are laid, take the
liquor that is left, put lime enough into
1t to make whitev ash, and if any color
ing is desirable, add ocher, Spanish
brown, lampblack, ETC., and apply to
the roof with brush or old broom.
This wash may be removed from time to
time. Salt and I've are excellent preser-
vatlons of wood. It is well known that
leach tubs, troughs, and other articles
used III the manufacture of potash never
rot. They become saturated with alkal,
turn yellowiah inside, and remain i 10
pervious to til we ather.
