lie Is now III his l25th year, and
he has never voted. Etienne Gsul-
dinot was born in 1862, in . Cana
dian hamlet between the st. Charles
and Montmorenci rivers, below
Quebec. The great battle between
the French and English was fought
near his fathers cabin, aud altho'
he was only six years old, he re-
members it perfectly. Indeed, the
urchin saw Wolfe after he was
killed, and Montcalmc after he was
wounded. In 1872 he married :
lass, and made a clearing on tho
west side Of Lake Champlain. The
commandant OF Fort Ticonderoga
employed him ~ a scout, In 1775,
having como from scouting ex.
pedition down the lake, he was
captured by Ethan Allen. lie sent
his wife, mother and children to
Canada, where they remained I'M
til the close Of the Revolutionary
war. In 1898 he trapped for furs
iu the vicinity Of Niagara river,
and served three years during the
war Of 1912, being wounded twice
in the battle Of Lundy's Lane, and
being complimented by General
Scott for his bravery. He does
not appear to have taken a hand in
the Patriot war, the Mexican war,
the civil war, or any of the Feniall
raids. he Is now living with his
great granddaughter, near the
mouth Of Bullskin creek, Franklin
county, Ohio. He talks but little,
hobbies about the house with d
cane, smokes q clay pipe, is quite
deaf, but has good eyes.

From the Montgomery. "a Alabama) Bulletin.
On the Dickinson place, ON Bull
lard creek, near Six-Mile station,
is a ten acre field which is nothing
more nor less than q subterranean
lake, covered with soil about IS
inches deep. On the soil is culti-
waited . field Of corn, which will
produce thirty or forty bushels to
the acre If any one will take the
trouble to dig hole the depth of a
spade handle, they will find it to
fill with water, and by using a
hook and line fish four or five in.
ches long can be caught. These
fish are different from others in
not having either scales or eyes,
and are perch-like in shape. Tho
ground is a black mari. alluvial In
its nature, and in all probability at
one time it was an open body OF
water, ON which has accumulated
vegetable matter, which has been
increased from timc to time until
now II has I crust sufficiently
strong and rich TO produce fine
corn, though It has to be cultivated
BY hand, as It is not strong enough
to bear the weight Of q horse.
While incoming the field hands
catch great strings of delicate fish
by merely punching hole through
to the water. A person rising on
his heel and coming down sudden
" can ESQ the growing corn shake
Ill around him. Any ono having
the strength to drive I rail through
this crust will find ON releasing II
that Il will disappear entirely.
Tho whole section of country sur.
rounding this field. gives evidence
Of inarshiness, and the least shower
Of rain produces an abundance Of
mud. But the question comes up
has not this body Of water an out
lets Although brackish the water
tastes as II fresh, and docs not ap-
pear to be stagnant. Yet these
are eyeless and scaleless- similar
to those found in caves. 1t is a
subject for study, and we would
like to have some Of our "pro-
found" citizens investigate It.

Gen. Terry has reached the Yel-
lowstone in pursuit of the Sioux,
and didn't find them. No wonder.
The troops which he should have
had two months ago were kept in
the South for tho purposing Of

Sherman docs not feel SO sure now
as he did q thort while ago Of

ging Sitting. Bull" without any

Cen. Clalners speech.

During q recent speech OF our
Congressional candidate, in Men,
phis, he thus eloquently and beau
tifully illustrated the recent politi-
cal victory In Mississippi.
All men work best whcn they
have q prospect Of success before
them, and 1t IL cheering to contem-
plate the difference in our prospect
now and eleven years ago. Then
tho black cloud of Radicalisn hung
all over the political sky, aud there
was scarcely ray Of Democratic
light to be seen anywhere, aud
when ! contemplate the change
since then l am reminded ofa beau
tiful sccno that l witnessed last
summer In the mountains Of vir-
ginia. There Is peak in that
State called the Bold-Knob, which
tourists ascond to witness the sun
rise. During last Summer II rained
almost daily for many days, and
those who climbed the mountain
To witness the rising sun came
back wearied, detected and disap-
pointed, and even - We OF Missis-
sippi wsre weafled:: detected and
disappointed BY our 4 Beated fall
ures
TO BREAK THROUGH THE RADI-
CAL PHALANx.
At hst, without much hope ofshc-
cess, to crafty The ladies Of my
party, l consented to make the trip.
We started before day, aud toilcd

cd the summit, and took our seat
upon cold, gray rock. Tho wind
was piercing, and as we shivered
in the cold we realized that in ma
ture, ~ in politics, the darkest
hour IL that which precedes the
coming day. Atlast the sun camo
slowly rising, tinting tho sky with
gold, and one by one the mountain
peaks around were bathcd in the
golden light Of tho morning sun,
but still there were heavy clouds
below us which shut of the valley.
But as we gazcd upon It we saw
the clouds, ono by one, rIsc and
floating away, aud at last wo could
SEQ that the genial rays Of tho sun
had reached the lowest point in the
valley below. And as l remember
II now, 1t scoms to me to bc grand
panoramic view Of tho rise and
progress of the Democratic party
since the war. We remember the
black cloud of Radicalism, and we

There is an objection to the COM
mon way of boiling eggs which
people do not understand. II is
this: The white under three min
utes cooking becomes tough and
indigestiblc, while the yolk is left
out. When properly cooked, eggs
are done evenly through like any
other food. This result may be
obtained by putting the eggs in q
dish with a cover, as tin pail, and
then pouring on them boiling wa.
ter, two quarts OF more to a dozen
eggs, and cover and set them away
from the stove for fifteen minutes,
The heat Of the water cooks the
eggs slowly and evenly and sutIl'

1t is related that a man fell
asleep as the clock struck twelve.
He awakened ere the echo of the
twelfth stroke had died away, hay-
ing in the interval dreamed that he
committed a crime, was detected
after five years, tried and con-
demned; the shock of finding the
halter about his neck aroused him
to consciousness, when he discov-
cred that all these events had hap
pened in an infnitesmal fragment
Of time. Mohammed, wishing to
illustrate the wonders of sleep, told
how a certain nan, being a sheik,
found himself, for his pride, made
a poor fisherman; that he lived as
one for sixty years, bringing up a
family and working hard; and how,
upon waking from lis long dream,
so short a time hac ne been asleep
that the narrow-necked gourd bot.
tie filled with water, which he
knew he overturned as he fell
asleep, had not time to empty it.
self, How fast the soul travels
when the body is asleepl Often
when we awake, we shrink from
going back into the dull routine
Of a sordid existence, regretting thu
pleasanter life of dreamland. How
is it possible that sometimes wher
we go to a strange place we fancy
that we have seen it before? Is i
possible that when one has beer
asleep the soul has floated away
seen the place, and has that mem
ory Of it which so surprises us? Ii
a word, how far dual is the life o
man, how far not?
