One of the prominent promises of
Scripture is that IL you give 10 the
Lord IL shall he returned TO you after
many days, but it is extremely difficult
for a certain class Of men 10 make the
investment OF to appreciate the security.
Indeed, we might seneralize and say
that most people find it harder to trust
the Lord than 10 trust one Of their own
number. There seem 10 lie more
security in n three months notc with
respectable Endorsements on the back
than In any promise of the New Tcsia-
ment, and so they are generous toward
worldly projects and rather close to-
ward religious enterprises. One Of

There are certain things too pro-

TO fathom. "Sam," said the master to

large family TO support, ''when | went

pork this morning I put my hand down
into the brine but not a bit OF pork
could find. Now, a you tell ms what
has become OF itl" and he looked into
the shining face OF innocent Sam with
n very inquisitiye and accusing gaze.
'No, sab" replied Sam, ~ dunno what
become OF dat pork unless, maybe, de
rats gnawed "a hole through de bottom
OF dc barrel an ate 1t all up" The
answer vas more ingenious than salts

well, them was the sharp query,
..why In the world didn't the brine run
out of the hole?" sam was puzzled
for an answer, and at last thrusting hi,
hands through his curly wool, looked
the very picture Of injured innocence a.

II. :. l~Iaii,crt In Philadelphia Tlmes.l
Having seen In a recent issue OF the
Times Orderly .Thompson's account Of
the death Of Gen. Mcpherson, l will
give you the confederate version Of
the affair. ten. Mcpherson was killed
10y Private Robert b. Compton, Of
company |, 9th Texas regiment, Gran
bury's brigade, Cleburne's division.
Mr.. Compton is stiIl living; is n citizen
of Waco, Tex, and is regarded by all
who know him rs an upright, honorable
man. TIE following incidents in re-
gard 10 the killing OF Gen. Mcpherson
| have taken down from his own lips,
and they arc corroborated by several
of his comrades still living in Waco and
vicinity. Among these will mention
Col. w. A. Taylor, who commanded
the 9th Texas regiment during the
war. AS is well known, Gen. McPher-
son was killed mt Atlanta, July %, 1864.
In this engagement the advanced pick
cts Of the 9th Texas were commanded
by Sergt. Fred Kron. lie and Private
Compton AMI another soldier, whose
name is not now remembered, were
some distance in advance. The ground
Which they occupied was covered with
dense woods, with much underbrush
and thlckcts, interspersed with ravines.
After driving in the federal soldiers in
their front, their attention was at
tractcd to n small party OF mounted
men rapidly riding parallel to them, yet
somewhat ''angling" toward them.
Their first momentary impression was
that il was a charge Of cavalry-the
woods being so thick that the confeder-
ates could not well distinguish their
number. But IL proved to be General
Mcl'herson and stall. When the gen.
eral, who IA somewhat in advance,
had approached within twenty PAGES,
he was ordered 10y Compton to halt.
Mcpherson made no halt or reply to
this, but instantly wheeling his herse
he vecred his course n little more to
the right and continued his speed.
Compton then fired and Mcpherson in
stantly fell from his horse, still, how
ever, holding on TO the roins. The
remainder Of the party made their ex-
cape, except n courier and n surgeon.
They Immediately surrendered To the

On "Wednesday evening We received q
call from ID. Whiting, a native Of Mass
achusetts, but for several years q resi-
dent Of south Africa. He is IL In search
Of a location for starting the ostrich
business ON a large scale. lie wants a
thousand acres of land, and he ex-
pressed the belief that he would make
a purchase in this country. As soon
as the land Is purchased Lac will con-
tract for a three board fence 10 be
built around the tract, and will imme-
diltely start for Africa for his stock Of
Ostriehes, which will lie here In six
months from the present time. He ex.
poets 10 stock his place with loo pain
Of these binds, Of the very best breed:
o~biainable. In 1865 there were but ~
ostriches domesticated in south Africa
Daring the past twelve years the stock
has increased 10 such an extent that
Iast year the census showed there were
10000 ostriebes in hat country. A
ine pair Of ~ostriches, Mr.. Whiting in
formed US, was valued at from $500 e
$1,000, aud some even sold at a highel
Ggurc. They do not breed until the,
are four years old, and then by good
care a pair will produce four breeds oI
chicks a year, each brood with goot
luck numbering twenty chicks. A
eight months Of age the crop Of feath
cfs is valued at 81 10 each bird, and a
the end Of another eight months thu
clip is worth twenty-five dollars 10 thu
bird, and a clip m he taken thereafter
every eight months. Single clips taker
from choice birds have sold rs high N
Sl25. II does not take more 10 feed al
ostrich THAN n sheep. Mr.. Whiting
Judges that for n greater portion Of TIN
year in this country they will need M
feeding. South Africa is subject :,
drouths, which last sometimes three Of
four years. II is this drawback which
cuts into the profits of ostrich farming
in that country. Not only does feed
become very high, but water becomes
equally scarce. Reservoirs have 10 b
built nj great expense, in which TO keel
\ four years supply of water for drink
ing purposes for the ostriches. MIR

There are not at the present time Il

MsE REFORM.

The habit Of administering quinine in
powerful doses, as an antidote to malarial
maladies, was once dangerously common.
Happily this practice has undergone a
wide reform. Not only the public. bu,
professional. men have adopted, nc
wholly. of course, but largely, Hostetter's
stomach Bitters as q saie botanic substi-
tute for the pernicious alkaloid. The
consequences Of this change are most
important. How fever and aeue sufferers
are. cured-fermerly their complaints
we're only for the time relieved, or half
cured-the remedy eventually failing to
produce any appreciable effect, except
the doses were increased. A course Of
the Brtters, persistently followed, breaks
up the worst attacks aud prevents their
return, The evidence 10 favor of this
sterling specific and household medicine
is of no ambiguous character, but posi-
tive and satisfactory, and the sources
whence it proceeds are very numerous.
