Barbara Freitchie.

tCol. Kyd Douglass in the Phila. Weekly Times.1
Scarcely in tho same connection, but as
Illustrative of the credulity of people during
the war, l recall attention to the beautiful le-
gend of Barbara Fritchie. There are few
things among Wbtticr's poems more touch
ing than this story Of the war. 1t is as tens
der as the ballad Of Maud Mullcr-and about
as true. 1t seems like iconoclasm to break
tho poetic image which Mr.. Whittier has
carved, and if he had not thrown his chip.
pings over Jackson's grave l would not care
to look beyond the beauty of his work. The
facts arc few. General Jackson's headquar.
ters in Maryland were three miles short of
Frederick, and except when he passed
through it to leave it, he went into the city
but once-on Sunday night to church. On
the morning he left rode with him through
the town. He did not pass the house of Bar
bara Fritchie; nothing like the Fiction of
Mr.. Whittier ever occurred, and Stonewall
Jackson and that historic old lady never saw
each other. understand Mr.. Whittier has
said that if the story, as he has told it, is
not true, it will go down to posterity as
such until it gets beyond the reach of correc>
tion. Ere9i on"nentu"a-Pardonable 10y
atty, questionable ambition. 1t may be sug.
scstcd with difideuce that the name of Stone
wall Jackson will live as long as that of Mr..
Whittier and his poems, and history will
teach the poets children that the army of
Virginia did not make war upon flags when
waved by old women.

DR.. J. g. Ayers Insanity-A Terrible
Warning to Advertisers.

The following good thing is from the Utica
IN. Y,) Observer
The insanity of DR.. J. G. Aver, of Lowell,
affords terrible warning to advertisers
Here was man engaged in the manufacture
of pill. not differing much from hundred
other pills that may be obtained at any drug
store. In an unguarded moment he made up
his mind that he would advertise, not in the
picayune style of the ordinary dealer, but in
a comprehensive sort of way, by which he
He started with the idea of devoting half of
his profits each year to advertising. The
result might have been foreseen. He accu>
mulated money SO rapidly that he did not
know wha. to do with it. When he had
rolled together fifteen million dollars and had
vainly striyen to find some outlet for his ever
increasing profits, his mind gave way under
the absorbing cares of his vast business and
he is now patient at an asylum for the in
sane. How easily this calamity might have
been averted. If he had stuck to the cons
servative methods of many of our merchants
aud refrained from advertising, he might have
been passing quietly through bankruptcy now
instead of being loaded down with his un>
counted millions It is a dangerous exper-
iment for a man who does not want to become
rich to advertise. Or if ho advertises at all
he must advertise grudgingly and at long in
tervals, lest his profits should grow out of all
proportion to his requirements, and he should
find himself burdened with wealth. Adver-
tisiDg, conducted on the principle of devoting
half the profits of business to it is, we re-
peat, dangerous experiment. prccipitates
fortune upon the advertiser so suddenly that
the chances are even that he will not know
what to do with his money. The multi
tudinous pleasures of bankruptcy, insolvency,
and ''shiuning around" for the wherewithal
to meet note are permanently denied in tho
man who advertiscs. There never was in
Europe or America great advertiser who did
not accumulate great fortune. Let those
who desire to 1.-Two unburbened by the cares
of wealth take warning.

case they did not it would be destroyed in
accordance with my orders from General
Early. i}
After few hours of delay many citizens
came to me-some were willing to pay tho
money, others were not. 1 urged them to
comply with such reasons as occurred TO r,s'
ut the time, and told them plainly what they
might expect showed to my own officers
the written instructions of General Early
and before single house was destroyed both
tho citizens aud the Confederate officers that
were present fully understood why II was
done and by whose or6efs. Aftef waiting
until the expiration of the six hours, and
finding that the proclamation would not be
complied with, the destruction of the town
was begun by firing the most central blocks
first, aud after the inhabitants had been fs-
moved from them. Thus the town was de-
stroyed, and the inhabitants driven TO the
hills and fields adjacent thereto. No lives
were lost by the citizens and only one sol-
dier was killed, aud he vas killed after tho
troops left the vicinity Of the place. About
noon the troops were reformed on the high
ground overlooking the town, where tho
most of them had been posted in the early
morning, and the return to the Potomac was
begun shortly afterward. We eucamped at
McConnellsburg that night and reached the
river the next day at or near Hancock, Md.
Col W. 4. Peters, who commanded one
of the regiments in JOhnstOu's S brigade, when
the burning commenced came and asked mo
if the burning was being done BY my orders.
l showed him the order of General Early
and he was satisfied, and proceeded to carry
out the order as was being done by other
regiments of his brigade. In this expediS
tion the troops passed through more than
one hundred miles of hostile territory, exe~
cuted all orders with promp.ness and regu-
larity, and never have heard Of any conn

New FREIGHT TRAIN SIGNAL.-The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company has recently
introduced on freight trains new signal
1t consists of flashing light fastened on the
rear car, that indicates the speed and distance
of train, and shows whether il is at rest or
in motion This light is of two colors, one
of them being red and the other white they
are placed on what is known as the "eaboose,"
so that they may be seen in both directions
on the line. A simple device for hiding the
light at intervals is affixed to each lamp so
that it may be made to Clash" or alternately
appear and disappear, and BY suitable gear
ing this is connected with one of the axles
of the car While the car is at rest the lights
are steadily visible when the train moves
the lights fash once for each revolution of
the wheels, and thus its movement and actual
speed can be easily estimated as far as the
lights can be seen.
= One of the most agreeable materials for
curtaining windows is coarse unbleached cot
ton. The irregularity of the thread and the
roughness of the surface gives its soft fold
much the charm of Russia crash, and its
hue warns the light of cool windows almost
to the glow of sunshine.

Trials of Newspaper Men.

One of the greatest trials of the newspaper
profession is that its members are compelled
to see more of the shams of the world than
any other profession. Through every news
paper Office, day after day, go all the weak>
nesses of the world all the ysu;ties that want
to be pufed !; all the revenses that want to be
reaped; ell the mistakes that want to be cor
rected all the dull speakers who want to be
thought eloquent; all the meanness that
wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the
editorial columns, in order to save the tax of
the advertising columns; oil the men who
want to be set right who were never right;
all the cracked Drained philosophers with
stories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as
their fnger>nails in mourning because bereft
of soap-all the bores who come to stay Eve
minutes, but talk FIVE hours.
Through the editorial and reportorial rooms,
all the follies and shams of the world are seen
day after day, and the temptation is TO believe
in neither God, man nor woman. It is no
surprise to me that in this profession there
are some skeptcal men l only wonder that
journalists believe anything.

Cookie Burr.

Among the enemies of the farmer,
there is none which is more offensive
and, if allowed to prosper, which saps
more of the substance OF the soil, than
the cookie burr. Other weeds and gras-
ses crowd themselves into the farm, no
matter how careful and Industrious the
owner. But not so with this burr. Yet,
it frequently takes possession Of the
farm by the neglect of careless tenants,
and by equally careless owners. There
must be neglect somewhere. 1t does
not come upon farm with heavy crop
suddenly. 1t usually appears first by a
solitary plant, the seed dropped from an
animals tail or in foul oats If this be
allowed to seed there will be hundreds
the next year, cattle will spread them,
and in few years they are all over the
farm They are, however, so large and
prominent weed they should at once
attract the attention of the tiller of the
soil, and be destroyed. A few seconds
at this time well employed will save in
after years much labor and veXation.-
A tenant who will allow a..cockle burr to
seed should be liable in suit for DANA
ges to the owner And the owner, il
tilling the soil himself, allowing such
things, should not be trusted at the vii
Iage store for pound of tobacco
But when they have once taken pos
session of the farm, constant and per-
manent industry will eradicate them
But they must be fought early and
late. They are ravenous feeders, and
will absorb all the substance of the soil
if allowed to grow amidst the crop
When the soil is once seeded it will
take at least three years of watchful
cultivation to destroy them. There are
two seeds in each burr, and one grows
the first, and the other generally the
second year, but they will, in rare cases,
lay over without sprouting until the
third year They must not only be
zealously combatted through the cult
walton of the crop, but the fields must
be carefully gone over Immediately after
harvest, and then again in September
If it comes out of the ground three
weeks before frost, and only attains to
one inch high, it will perfect a burr,
ready for perpetuating its species. But
perseverance, will win, and then only
can the farmer sleep in peace.

Weight Of Milk.

X. A. Willard, some months since,
stated on the authority of Gail Borden,
the patentee of the milk condensing pro-
cess, that an average quart of milk at a
temperature of sixty degrees would
weigh, if We recollect Alright, fraction
over 2.14 pounds to the quart, but DR..
Sturtevant, in one of his public lectures,
in which he urged farmers and expert
mentors to drop the practice of report
ing milk by measure, as quarts vary so
much that one never knows certainly
how much a COW gives by the measure
reports, and to adopt the weighing sys-
TEN instead, gave 215 pounds as his
standard in practice, it being more con
venient to use than the exact fraction,
and near enough for all practical pur-
poses. Since that time the public gen-
orally have adopted 215 pounds as the
practical measure for a quart Of milk
usually however weighed warm from the
cow. SO COW which gives 532 pounds
of milk in day is twenty -five quart
COW; but such cows are scarce Few of
us become very weary by the slow pro-
cess of measuring our milk, especially
when we have but one cow
