fighting had ceased in our front, the field
being in our possession, our efforts were
directed to caring for the wounded of both
sides. Among those brought in was a
place boy, scarcely more than sixteen, be-
longing to Georgia regiment, very badly
wounded in the thigh. As we laid him
upon blanket in the shade of tree, and
gave him water from our canteens and
bread from our havcrsacks, he looked into

THE GAME LAw.--For the Information
OF sportsmen we print the provisions of the
law now IN force rs to the seasons of the year
when it is lawful to hunt deer, and par
tridges and other birds.
DEER.-Thc general statutes, which
went into effect tho 10th of February, 1872,
prohibits the killing of any doc or fawn be-
tween the 1st of January and the last of
July, and the killing of any buck between the
first day of September and the last Friday
of October, aud between the 1st of March
and the last of April, under u penalty of
$40 for each offense.
Another section Of the general statutes
provides penalty of S25 for killing does
between the 1st of March and tho 1st of
September.
BY the general statutes it is also made
unlawful for any person to kill any deer in
the night time at any season, except in his
own enclosed grounds, under penalty of
$50.
by the act of March IL, 1872, it is made
unlawful to kill any deer, or worry them
with dogs or otherwise with the intention
of destroying them, between the first day
OF January and the first of September 10
any year, under pain of a fine of $50, or
imprisonment for twenty days
The act of February 27, 1873, amends
the act of March II, 1872, by substituting
august" for "Septcmbcr."
AS there is no provision in either of the
two last acts expressly repeating any of
the provisions of the general statutes al
luded to, it would seem that they are all in
force except those which arc supplied by
the two subsequent acts Our conclusion
is that under all these acts the law at pres
ent is as follows
From January I to August 1 all deer
are protected.
From August to September 1 does arc
protected.
From September l to the last Friday in
October bucks arc protected
BIRDs.-As to birds, the act of March
-, 1872, amended by the act of February
y, 1873, makes it unlawful to catch, kill
or injurc, or to pursue with such intent, or
to sell or expose for sale, any wild turkey,
partridge, dove, woodcock, suipe or pheasant
between the 18th of April and the 18th of
October, under penalty of a fine of $40, or
imprisonment for ten days; and if the fine
is imposed onc-haf shall 60 to the informer,
and the other half to the school fund of tho
county.

1t is often asked, as rice an exhaustive
crop ?" A personal experience of only a
few years hardly authorizes enc to answer
this question positively. Unquestionably
rice, like many other plants, grows better
on land which has been resting. or after
other crops. Rotation with ploughed crops
performs special service in cleaning the
land of ''voluntcer," which comes wherever
rice is planted continuously. On fresh
lands rice does excellently, and have seen
respectable crops made on first years new
ground, even before the large trees had
died. On the other hand, have very good
rice on land which has been planted in it
for three years; and on aneighboring place
the seventh successive crop, in as many
years, promises well; in each instance no
manure has been used tits curious fact
if it be fact, that guano, the phosphates,
and cotton seed, applied in the drill, after the
manner for cotton, do not benefit Yet
number of experiments which have made
this year seem to Indicate it.

CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMs's GOLDEN NEEDING.
The ffieth marriage anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Francis Adams occurred at Quincy.
Mass, on Wednesday last. 1t is an interesting
and very unusual fact that three golden we'd
dings of successive generations of the same fam
lily should have been observed in tho same house.
That of President John Adams and his wife was
celebrated on the 25th of October 1914. That
OF their son, President John Quincy Adams,
and his wife was celebrated on the Goth of July,
lS47. The third has just taken place 1t will
be noticed that the intervals between these oc-
casions were respectively thirty three and thir-
ty-two years-almost exactly the lifetime of o
generation. At the time of their golden we'd
dinss President John Adams was 20, and Prcsi-
dent J. e. Adams had just entered his oightieth

IRISH GIRLS OF TIE PERIoD.-Tn Dub
lin young lady is educated for music or
matrimony-or both. She is perpetual
piano player or constant husband seeker
There are no longer the "Baby Blakes" or
the Lady Gay Spankers" Of yore her fol-
lies as to field sports are no more. The
Irish girl of the period abhors defamation
about "woman's rights" She generally
takes them-in Platonic way. She is
much more Irish than the men, twice as
witty and ten times rs intriguing. These
girls have an indescribabIc way of captur-
ing you (mentally at least) before you know
where you are They arc fine looking
rather than pretty and commanding rather
than coquctish, yet they have their share Of
all that ubiquitous family. In point of cdu
cation they arc more glittcring than the Eng
lish girls and more solid than the Amcri
can. They dress too much-an excess of
fal .lals. Frills and lace, bog back and rib
bons abound about these girls, and their
merry laughter AID soft solder dash Of
yydnamdchrcc ma cuShia servo to make
them intensely interesting, even at the res
pcctful distance they invariably keep you.
The type of the Irish girl, with her rosy
and white complexion, her large blue eyes
and auburn hair, in her eighteenth year
is more of child than an American girl of
thirteen.
The Irish girl Of the period has one
bright star ever before her in the heavens
of her hopcs-a husband with a title She
would rather be poor Lady Splurgc than
par0cnu Mrs. Shady. Yet she is the most
loving and devoted Of fwives-when properly
welded. The Irish girl loves to make a
noise in the world--has a grand passion
for dash. She will leap social five bar
gates and double stone walls to get the
right man, while she would prefer to be an
old, moping maid rather than be chained
to the wrong one. She dislikcs tame
man, and can control a wild one. In the
courage of her opinions she cxccls both as
to quality and quantity. She would rath-
er rule in certain dreadful pla below
than serve in a better one above.-DuJhn

TIE CHARLESTON CITADEL.-An officer was
sent by the Secretary Of War to Charleston with
orders to turn over the Citadel to Gen. Hacood.
Col. G. |. Walker, and Maj. II. S, Thompson.
'to be held for safe-keeping and use as a place
of Education, subject to the future action Of
Congress in ratifying, or the reverse, the relin-
quishment of possession, and free of all claim for
rent, use and occupation, by the General Govern
ment' and with the further agreement to sur
render the building at any time upon demand,
Of the War Department."
These trustees do not feel at liberty to accept
the trust, inasmuch as they are not authorized
by the State to act in this matter, and they do
not desire to waive any right the State may have
for rent while in possession of the u. S Govern
ment The Citadel is now unoccupied and
unguarded.-Cdr Spartan.
