All Want Medicine.

The Griffin (Ga.) NeWs says: The col
ored people have some strange ways, and
one of these is disposition to grant or
have ailments. This weakness Is more
plainly shown whenever there Is a rem
edy about, especially if that "remedy %
is anything on the line of medicine. We
overheard a gentleman discussing this
matter the other day, and he remarked
that he could not keep bottle of medir
cine on his premises and let itbe known.
1t made Eo difference what kind it was,
if they thought it would do them good.
He was "sorter ailing" and being in
town, had n bottle of bitters fixed up by
his physician. Returning home he took
two doses, and found it so rough that he
was going to throw it away, but, think
ing for moment, he stepped TO the
door, and said in the hearing of some of
his negroes that he had some splendid
medicine. Next morning one came
grunting around, saying: /" Boss, Use
mighty ailing dis morning; ain't you got
something for me? Use got o pain in
my misery" He was properly "dosed," "
and went on his way rejoicing. In less
than twenty-four hours six of them had
" destroyed the entire bottle, and each
Of them had O different complaint.

An Incident OF the War.

Gen. Sherman, in his personal narra-
tive, refers to the fact that immediately
after the first battle of Bull Run in
subordination crept out among the
troops of his command to such an ex-
tent that he ordered Ayers battery to
nnlimber, ready for action against them.
During this characterization, an
amusing incident occurred. The troops
especially referred to were Col. Nc
Quade's 14th New York infantry. I'M
pressed with the idea that their term
of service was out, they expressed n de-
termination to go home. Fearful of
difficulty, Sherman ordered section
of Ayers battery to take position at the
right of Fort CorcOran, ON an elevated
spot, the 18th being encamped on n
small plain below. The guns of the
battery bore directly upon the camp, and
few shells exploded in the Fourteenth
would have blown theregiment to pieces.
The boys of the 14th took the matter
IN good humor, and seeing the smoke
stack OF mill torn down near at hand,
they mounted it on pair of wagon
wheels and organized battery of their
own.
Running the improvised gun to the
very limit OF the camp ground to which
the men were confined, they would halt,
go through the manual of loading by
detail, and, at the command fire, "
every man in the regiment would give
vent to prolonged "b-o-o-m."
This maneuver was kept up, q new
gun squad relieving an old ,one when
tired, until the thing became such a
farce that Sherman, very much annoy
ed, ordered the lieutenant and his sec
tion back to park.
The lieutenant in charge of the guns,
afterwards a distinguished general, was
so annoyed by the 18th boys that it
was with difficulty he could control his
temper. Some officer suggested that he
fire blank cartridge over the corps.
"No," he thundered, elf I open fire
on the fellows it will be with shell, and
l III fire low, too" There was no occa-
sion for firing, as the characterization
was soon settled.

A Temperance Lecture.

Judge Westbrook, in sentencing Bat
ting, at Kingston, New York, to Sing
Sing prison for life, for the murder of
man while intoxicated, embraced the
occasion to deliver n very forcible lee
ture upon temperance. Judge West
brook said
We know that you were not in a physi-
cal or mental state to comprehend the
crime. You were fired by that which
has fired many man before; your
brain was crazed by that which has
crazed many n brain before; but can
courts, in the prevention of crime, listen
to an argument and plea like that2 If
they did or could, whose life would be
safe or whose property secure2 We
know the safety of human society and
human life requires that you should be
punished, because you voluntarily put
yourself in that condition. You be-
came voluntarily drunk, and must take
the consequences of the act which you
did while in such o state.
You are guilty of an awful crime, and
you are to-day receiving the Judgment
of this earthly tribunal; but remember
you must answer to another which will
Judge with entire knowledge and in the
sentence of which there can be no pos
sible mistake. You have time and space
for repentance and to make your peace
and obtain forgiveness before you stand
IN the presence of the august Judge who
shall there preside. Perhaps in saying
what we have, our whole duty is done,
yet 1T seems to us it is a proper time
and proper occasion to utter one word
more.
Is there not most eloquent appeal
from that bleeding body of your un-
happy victim, and in his gaping wounds,
in your unfortunate condition, and the
condition of your family, against that
traffic which has brought you to this
bar, separated you from your wife and
family, and sent Tompkins into the
presence of his God? L trust that this
sin and this lesson will be remembered
andl never forgotten. If any other ar
gument is needed against the use of
intoxicating drink and the traffic there
in, you on this occasion furnish that ar
gument, and it is written to-day, as it
has oftimos been before, in tears, and
in blood

Half a Crop of Wheat.

The Philadelphia Press contains n
page specially devoted to the condition
and prospect of the wheat crop of Penn
sylvania, containg upward of two hun
dred dispatches covering the entire
wheat district of the State. These dis
patches report the condition Of the crop
May first in each county, and estimate
the probable yield that will be harvested.
Owing to the severe frost of late spring
much of the expected crop has been
killed and the season delayed eight or
ten weeks. A careful survey of the field
leads to the belief that not over half n
crop will be gathered, and even this
amount depends upon the continuance
of dry weather.

1t was mt length deserted through the
clear water, and, by means of the boats
anchor, with little ceremony hauled on
board, of course lifeless.
The brig was condemned, and the
value of the prize was much augmented
by the circumstance of her crew betray-
ing the hiding place of the slave cargo.
These were speedily reshipped in the
very vessel in which they had been so
roughly slowed, and in due course re-
gained their home.

SCARLET FEvER.-In this dis
ease the parent and the school
teacher are often concerned to know
how long time must elapse before
it is safe to admit the convalescent
children children to mingle with
otner children. And the answer is
that for month, at least, the body
OF a scarlet fever patient is casting
off scales from the skin, and from
the nose, throat, bowels and kidneys
discharges, which are poisonous and
convey the disease. The chief
danger, however, arises fran the
skin, as this is the main outlet for
the blood poison to escape, hence
every scale il throws off can carry
the infection.

A young lady Of Ballarat, Eng,
about contemplating matrimony was
asked by her friends what kind of
welding presents she would like, aud
replied that she would prefer useful
to ornamental ones. Her wedding
Journey consisted in going from the
house of the parents to a cottage in
the vicinity, and upon arriving there
she found barrel Of -four, a Jar of
butter, complete set of cooking
utensils, piece Of merino, set of
orockery ware, knives, forks, spoons
and glassware, enough household
groceries, to last six months, and on
her table a ceipt for the prepay
ment of years rent for the cottage,
with two 91O notes pinned to a pa
per, on which was written, "To pur-
chase something useful" Was not
this the right kin ! of utilitarianism
for young couple Of limited means,
about starting out upon their matri-
monial career, and was it not more
beautiful than duplicate plated fish
knives, and other trash usually given
upon like occasions?

item about curing sore threats to the

DEATH OFPROFESSORLITTLE.

The telegraph brings Us most melan-
ChOly announcmaat--thatO Of the death OF
Prot THOMAS II. LITTLE Superintendent
of the Wisconsin Institution for the
Education Of the Blind, ut Janesville
He died on the afternoon of Thursday,
the continued break In Geographic
communication preventing the sad news
from reaching us till this moraing. His
disease was typhoid pneumonia, and his
illness of very brief duration. It ID
believed that he had never fully recover

efforts save his pupils from bsing CEN
sumed In the fire which destroyed the
buildings of the institution last spring
In those efforts, entirely forgetful OF
himself he was severity burned, and his
injuries, combined with the anxiety and
excitement OF the occasion, Frustrated

which 1t was question for many weeks
whether he could rise. With the effects
Of this shock still preying upon his sys-
tenn, he Sc ems to have fallen an easy pray
to disease that is equal to the dsstrlc-
ton of strong, healthy men.
Prof Little was man of uncommon
intelligence and energy of character, and
by most successful uperintendency OF
the institution, with the charge of which
he has been Entrusted for many years, has
proved his eminent GtEess fer the posi-
ton. Such was the confidence reposed

discretion in the administration of it,

and this confidence was justified to the
fullest extent by his unremitting faith

teacher, his scrupulous honesty and his
wide executive capacity. 1t will be a
long time before his loss to the institu-
ti0n can be replaced; to the State this
loss is irreparable. Just at CHS time,
when the institution is 10 berebuilt, and
TO some extent, reorganiZcd, the blow
is peculiarly severe and hard TO be borne,
and it will impose upon our State
authorities and the Board Of Trustees
most responsible and important duties,
which would not have fallen upon them

condition of the unfortunate, and the
reformation OF the vicious to At the one

He is cut off in the very prime of bis
life, in the midst of most useful and

gent, cultured and estimable wife to strug-
gle on alone for the maintenance, bring

WHY THEY WENT TO WAR.

A certain king sent to another king
saying, Send me blue pig witha black
tail, or else"
The other replied:
81 have not got one, and if had"
On this weighty cause they went &c
war. After they had exhausted their
armies and resources land laid waste their
kingdoms, they began to wish to make
peace; but before this could be done. II
was necessary that the insulting lang
uage that led to the trouble should be
explained.
"What could you mean" asked the
second king of the first, by saying, Send
me blue pig with a black tail Or
ELSE"
"Why," said the other, IT meant blue
pig with black tail, or else some other
color. But what could you mean by
saying, L have not got one, and il I
had"
"Why, of course, if had should
have sent it,"
The explanation Yves satisfactory, and
peace was accordingly concluded.
Ihls story Of the two kings ought to
serve as lesson to US all. Most of the
quarrels between individuals are quite
as foolish as the war of The blue pig with

MAJOR PoWELL's WONDERFUL

MAJOR PoWELL's WONDERFUL
VoYAeE.-Th following paragraphs
from Scribner for March describe
the feelings Of the Powell party, af-
ter completing their voyage through
the Grand Canon OF the Colorado,
one of the strangest and bravest ex-
ploits of American explorers:
At night we camped on the left
bank in a mosquito thicket. The
sense of relief from danger and the
Joy Of success were great. When he
who has been chained by wounds to
a hospital cot until his canvas tent
seems like dungeon, and the groans
OF those who lie about him are an
increasing torture - when such a
prisoner at last goes out into the
open field, what world he sees
How beautiful the sky, how bright
the sunshine, what floods Of delic !,
ious music pour from the throats of
the birds, how sweet the fragrance
OF earth, and tree, and blossom
The first hour of convalescent free
dom seems rich recompense for all
the pain, the gloom and the terror.
Something like this was the feel
ing we experienced that night. Ever
before us bad been ali unknown
danger heavier than any immediate
peril. Every waking hour passed
in the Grand Canon had been one of
toll. We had watched with deep
solicitude the steady disappearance
of our scant supply of rations, and
fre m time to time when we were
hungry had seen the river snatch a
portion of the Little left. Danger
and toll w4re endured in those gloomy
depths where often the clouds hid
the sky by day, and but narrow
zone of stars could be seen at night.
Only daring the few hours of deep
sleep consequent on hard labor had
:he roar Of the mad waters been
hushed now the danger was over,
the toll had ceased, the gloom had
disappeared, and the armament was
bounded only by the wide horizon.
