The idea of this story occurred: to the author
while writing the biography of that heroic soldier,
the lamented General George A. Custer: and the
then revealed to him induced him to write the
none the less truthful and realistic pict ure of
. very remarkable phase of American life.
The incidents in the CADET BUTTON are all
founded on fact, and while they may seem roman
tic to those who have seen no life outside of the
town, 1t must beremembeI ed that such peTiIs and

done by making hole at each corner of

the holes. liza larger shade is desired,

Salmon In the mississippi.

These fishermen are phlegmatic fel
lows, and, they wondered, said
nothing about it, but left it to chance to
come to light. There they were, fat,
shining salmon, splashing and gasping
hard for breath, on the fish dealers
tables in Beal street market yesterday
afternoon, evidently fresh from their
native element.
"Why, where did you get these sal

as ceolly as though salmon, not cats,
were the natural piscatorjal inhabitants
of our muddy river.
"What river, manT
"Miss'ippi, of cose jes over by the

" Many of them ?"
" Lots. Buy some, sir? How do you
like this fellow? Not teven dead yet, you
see sir"
There is but one explanation of the
presence of these fish of northern waters
in the great MUD river. Two years
ago the planting of fish eggs in foreign
rivers was given great attention, and
congress made a small appropriation
for the stocking of rivers as an expert
ment. Several hundred thousand eggs
were brought here and placed in the
river near Wolf rivers mouth, Mr.. w.
W. Mcdowell footing the experiment.
The result, long since despaired of, is
seen now in the fine fish sold in the city
markets. The theory, founded on OBJ
servation, is that fish will alwas return
to their place of incubation to spawn;
hence the presence of salmon at this sea-
son at this point in such great numbers.
This successful experiment should con-
duce to further attempts to stock the
Mississippi river with new and desirable
fish, Memphis Avalanche.

Abandoned at SeR,

At all times ships of one kind or another
are hoating about at sea, abandoned by officers
and crew, in what seems hopeless condition
Some are dismantled and mere hulks some
are swimming keel upwards, some are water
logged, but being laden with timber will not
sink, but are driven hither and thither as
the wind and waves may direct. So people
afflicted with catarrh, bronchitis, and con-
sumption, are abandoned by physicians and
friends as incurable, yet thousands of such
are annually restored to perfect health by
the use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and

A CORRESPONDENT of the Rural New
Yorker, speaking of the shiftless method
of farming in the west, says: at is tie
unsurpassed fertility of our soil that
leads to this. It needs no manure for
its first crops, and the few years in which
it produces we'll without it are Just suf-
ficient time for farmers to acquire lazy,
improvident habits about taking care of
their manure. It is common thing to
hear them ridicule eastern people about
their economy in saving, composing and
applying their manure to their lands.
Another trouble is, there are too many
producing corn, and the supply seems to
be greater than the demand in about five
years out of six. Every farmer here is
expecting to make money to pay his
taxes, improve his farm, and pay the
accumulated debts of years, by growing
on half-wornsout old soil foul with cookie
burrs, twenty and twenty-five cent corn.

FARM AND HOME.
Value Of Cobs.

According to single analysis reported
in Prof. Johnson's How Crops Grow
the ash of corn cobs contains forty-se ven
per cent. potash. four per cent. magnesia,
and nearly four and one.half per cent.
phosphoric acid, which would indicate
that eobs are very valuable as fertilizer
but the amount OF ash in corn cobs is
exceedingly small, being only about one
halt of one per cent, or eleven poundsin
a ton. This would give about five pounds
of potash, worth not far from half a
dollar. The best use we have ever known
eobs to be put to as a fertilizer was as
bedding for calves. The cobs were placed
several inches in thickness over the floor
of the pen in which calves were kept
loose through the summer. The tramping
of the calves broke the cobs into small
fragments. which would decay readily in
the soil, while, as a clean and comfort
able material for bedding, they could
hardly be surpassed. At least, that is the
report of those who have used them. A
bed of dry cobs a foot deep would absorb
large quantity of urine before becoming
foul or unfit for bedding, and after being
thus saturated, would prove quite valua-
BILE as fertilizer. Cobs are, undoubtedly,
of some value as food for cattle, but much
depends upon the facilities one has for
preparing them. It will not do to pay
much corn as toll for grinding cobs, if We
regard them according to their chemical
value; yet, when cobs and corn are
ground together, the meal for feeding to
animals may De worth nearly as much,
practically, by weight, as cornmeal. The
cobs make the meal lighter, and, perhaps,
more digestible. At any rate, the gastric
juice of the stomach will more easily be
mingled with the cob.meal than with
clear corn.meal, which, if ground fine, is
apt to lieyery compactly when taken into
the stomach without other food. Like
wheat shorts, ground cobs have a me-
chanical effect upon corn>meal in the
stomach, acting as divisor and separator
of the particles. rn-cobs also make
pretty good fire kindlings, when dry, land

saving fer this p rpose.-[N. Z. Farmer.

The Currency Question.

After cheertully abstaining from read
ing the many theories suggested, we are
forced to the conviction that more money
is needed, in fact we have felt the want
of it for many years but have refrained
from public declaration. There has
been such a prolonged estrangement be-
tween ourselves and any large family of
money, that any sudden companionship
would create a painful embarrassment on
our part in its presence, almost as much
SO as in its absence, and we don't hesitate
in the belief that such is the feeling Of
many now enlisted in its enlargement
The idea isto induce large immigration
of currency regardless of any particular
value. 1t would then be much easier to
pull out pound than the present trying
custom of borrowing an ounce. Noone
will deny that during The confederacv it
was rather hard times, and that the only
soft thing in circulation was the money,
Then the Incorporate walked into sap
house and demanded an inyigorating
toddy. The merchant independently
replied one hundred and ten dollars per
tod. The consumer, without hesitation,
says, "there's your money!" and the
moonshiner says, "there's your tod"
Thus were privations escaped, and the
pangs of proverty unknown. True it
was poor grub, poor clothes, poor sap,
and poor money. but there was wealth
of it in quantity, and everybody was an
aristocat from pecuniary standpoint.
AS for silver being obnoxious as an
article of pocket transportation, we can
soon become accustomed to that incon,
venience. We know great many per-
sons who are footsore carrying around an
empty pocket, and we believe they could
be reconciled to tenantry of a few silver
dollars. You can't keep up aight heart
with light pocket. The scene needs a
little dark shading of currency to make
it enjoyable. -- Barney Hughes.

England's Army and Naval
Strength.

England's naval strength is 579 vessels
Of 915, $50 tons burden, with 2,s19 guns,
and steam power equivalent to 603, AS
horses. Sixty-four of these vessels are
powerful ironclads. So far as the mum,
Der stated 60, it appears that we have an
admiral for each of the 267 vessels in
commission, with SO to spare for receiv,
ing, store, training and surveying ships,
dispatch and tug vessels, yachts, ETC.,
and 43 more than one for every two of the
$40, including coal depots, chapels, hos
pitals and .eformatories. There is a
similar glut with regard to the army.
OF generals, counting those on the active
list only, there is one for every two of the
15l regiments, with 20I to spare. There
is lieutenant colonel for each of them,
with three over, and for every regiment
there are major.generals with 18 over
6 colonels, with 10 over, Is lieutenant
colonels, with forty-four over, and nine
majors, with LAG to spare. Proportion
ately, therefore, if not actually, we are
more abundantly supplied with officers
than even the great military powers of
the continent. Of regular troops we
have Isl regiments; of militia, yeomanry
and volunteers, 4SS regiments, making a
total of $50 regiments, to say nothing of
pensioners and reserves. We have also
sea force more powerful than that of
any two ether naval powers, and the
advantage OF an insular position instead
of open frontiers. We are in a state of
profound peace with the world, and may
go continue if we please. Yet, notwith-
standing all this, there are persons
among us who believe, or affect to believe,
that there is nothing to prevent the
