The OLD STORY ABOUT MARSHAL
NEY.-Col. Thomas F. Houston, a we'll
known farmer and stock-dealer, who re-
sides near Houstoni, this county, claims
to have been a pupil of Peter Stuart Ney,
ore of Napoleon's greatest Marshals.
According to Ney's own words, related to
Col. Houston when mere lad, he
escaped his death sentence by the soldiers
firing over his head. He sfeigned death,
was taken in charge by his friends, dis
guised, and shipped as sailor from Bor-
deaux, France, to Charleston, S. G. In
a few years he removed to Rowan Coun-
ty, North Carolina, where he taught
school for several years, a portion of that
time boarding with Col Houston's father.
He fondly cherished the hope that Ma.
poleon's star would again rise in splendor,
and when the information of his death
reached him he acted like a madman,
and only through persistent efforts of
friends was prevented from committing
suicide. he left a lengthy history writ
ten in French, which was transmitted to
the New York Historical Society for
translation, but through some neglect
was never carried out. Col. Houston re-
tains several mementoes of his illustrious
preceptor, among them his Latin Gram.

A little bright-eyed three-year-old
was seated in his high chair at the dinner
table. Mamma had arranged the little

illness and fun had made him the observed
of the family. She had placed him
snugly up to the table, pinned on his bib,
and succeeded in getting the little mis-
chievous hands quiet and making him
"hush," when father: proceeded to ask
the blessing. While this was in progress,
our little chubby made a discovery. It
was that all the plates on the table, ex-
cept his own little plate, were in one pile
at "papa's place." and it seemed to him,
were put there to get the benefit of the
solemn ceremony. So, scarcely waiting
for the "Amen," he held out his own
plate in both hands, saying,- "Please,
papa, pray on my plate, too"

SWEET MARY.

} These lines, written by an Irish divine
the REV.. ]. NTone, who died about half
century ago, are worthy of the pen of Gold
smith:
IF I had thought thou couldst have died
might not weep for thee;
g But I forgot, when by thy side,
That thou couldst mortal be,
Itneyer through my mind had pass'd
The time would e'er be Ger.
ThatI ON thee should look my last,
And thou shouldst smile no more!
And still upon thy. face look,
And think twill smile again
And still the thought; i will not brook,
That I must look in vain!
But when speak, thou dost not say
What thou ne'er left'st unsaid,
And now feel, as we'll / may,
&a Sweet Mary thou art dead
Ifthou would st stay even as thou art,
All cold and all serene,
@ Il still might press thy silent heart,
is And where thy smiles have been
While e'en thy chill bleak corse have,
Thou seemest still my own,
But there I lay thee in thy grave
And am now alone -,
I. do not think, ,where'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
And I, perhaps, may soothe this heart,
In thinking too of thee;
Yet there was round thee such dawn
4 OF light me- 'er seen before - ~ & g

- An exchange says that Gen. Grant,
born in 1922, is now the only living ex-
President; We find that the others,
seventeen In all, lived to an average age
of 73 years. This prolongation of the
lives of the Presidents beyond the three
score years and'ten allotted by the Psalm
ist is q higher average than most persons
would have supposed was fact, and it
is reached, moreover, notwithstanding
the untimely taking-off of Harrison,
Taylor and Lincoln, all of whom were
cut off prematurely in consequence of
their oficiel position. That the fourteen
others should have been such specimens
of longevity as to have brought the aver
age up to 73 years is an evidence either
that the Presidency is not necessarily
and inevitably a life.killing office, or else
that the American Presidents have been
constitutiona!ly strong and long-lived
men. Washington died at 81, of an at
tack of something like pleurisy, but for
which he might have lived, no doubt, to
a marked cid age. John Adams died at
81. Jefferson, the philosopher and
statesman, lived quite as long as he
wished to live, and died at SO, on the
same day that saw the departure of his
predecessor-the fourth Of July, 1926.
Madison lived to be IS; Monroe died at
70; John Quincy Adams at 81; General
Jackson lived to the age of 78. and but
for certain bullet wounds would probably
have lasted few years longer; Van Blu.
rem died at 80, Harrison at 6S, Tyler at
72, Polk as 81, Taylor at sc, Fillmore at
"a, Pierce at IS, (many people have sup
posed he was younger,) Buchanan at ",
Lincoln at 56 and johnson at 68. Polk
seemed to have a constitution that should
have given him twenty years more OF
life, and Lincoln, no doubt, but for
Booths pistol, would have lived score
of years longer.

counter the pup and investigate his
reason for being so designated. But
it seems that this expression is open to
the charge of plagiarism, as Alexander
Pope, the poet of Twickenham, wrote a
similar cOnplet of the Prince of Wales,
of that time, which read:
Sim his Highness dog at Kew,
Pray, sir, whose dog are you?"
But the quadruped honored by a

into the MoXen's presence. with his tail
tucked very close, and business card

one had sent the poodle up in the carrier

I.ongstreet and Gettysburg.

General LOngstreet has written for the
Philadelphia Weekly Times an interest
ing and valuable description OF the bat
tie of Gettysburg. He says that he oppOs-
ed the march into Pennsylvania on the
ground that the Western Confederate
armies needed assistance, Grant having
sbOttled up" ore oil them in Vicksburg.
When the two armies faced each other at
Gettysburg he advised General Lee to
decline battle, interpoSe his army be-
tween General Mead's and Washington,
and force the latter to make the attack.
But General Lee said: IF the enemy is
there tomorrow we must attack him
General Longstreet replied: If he is
there, it will be because he is anxious
that we should attack him-a good reason
i'm my judgment,fo not doing so. Long
street was directed to make the Opening
attack. His corps numbered 13,0Oe men. 1t
charged up Cemetery Ridge with such
bravery and audacity that.General Meade
thought. that General Lees whole army
was at its heels. Reduc ng his right wing
to one brigade, Meade hurried the Others
to the support of his imperiled left, and
forced Longstreet back. When night
came. Longstreet found that he had lost
$40 men, or more than one third of his
corps. Longstreet charges the failure OF
his assault to Ewell's inactivity, declal-
ing that if Ewell had attacked Meade's
weakened right wing it would surely
been overcome and the battle won. He
also criticeiss Pichitt's assault on the
second day Of the battle, and saysit was
great mistake in General Lee to order
it made.

Wood Preserving.

pores with creOsote has been dcmOnstra.
ted by forty years. experience in England
is of sufficient public Importance to at
tract the attentions of engineers, archi-
tects and railroad men and Others using
large quantities of timber.
We give below some extracts transla-
ted from a French work entitled "A
Treatise on the Preservation OF Wood
from the most ancient times to our own
day." Ito be i'm the Boston Public Library
by III. Paulet, Chemist, Paris, an exceed
ingly interesting work, being an histori-
cal and philosophical review of this most
important subject.
In referring to creosOte oil as preser-
vative of wood, he thus describes the
substance itself:
I'm the first distillation of crude tar
up. to 357 dogs. Fahrenheit, as it comes
from the gas manufacturers, are produced
what are known as light oils. used in the
arts of various purposes; between this
point and 500 dogs, Fahrenheit, are dis
titled the less volatile oils, which consti-
tute the creosote of heavy oils of tar. The
ressiduum is pitch"
In reference to the value Of creosote as
a preseryative of wood, he says:
The creosote oil contains, independ.
emily OF large number of antiseptic sub
stances, the most efficacious OF all, car.
bOlic acid. which coagulates albumen with
great intensity. 1t is especially destruc
tive to parasites, because it coagulates
the albumen they contain. sap or blood
These oils in becoming resinous and
solidfying in the pores of the wood, fill
them up and arrest in that way the two
vehicles of organic destructive agents, all
and moisture
''rhe carbolic and other preservative
substances contained in the tar oil are
protected from dissolution by the fatty
insoluble substances, inert of themselves
such as parafine, etc. They form fixa

On the question of preserving wood
by the application of heat alone, M. Pau
let writes:
wood dried at temperature of 212
dogs. Fahrenheit does not readily decay.
even when exposed in a moist atmosphere
nevertheless decay is only retarded. But
in the heat attain about 347 degs., wood
then commences to char, and its resist
