RccOllections of CORVALLIS Surrender

Mrs. Graham, of Port Byron, n. Y.
who died last summer at the age of
104, was asked shortly before the fail.
ure of her faculties if she remembered
the surrender of CORVALLIS. "Do
remember CORVALLIS surrenderf" re-
piled Mrs. Graham. YES, remem-
Der it; that is, remember how the
news came. We lived in Freehold, in
the Jerseys, then; my father was with
the army; he'd been with the army a
long time. My mother was worried
about him. The day the news came |
was a-sitting on the doorstep. and |
had rag doll and the door was open
and mother was ironing at the big la
BILE. There Vas a man came flying mp
the road on gray horse, and pulled
up at our door and called out to moth
er, and says he, CORVALLIS has sur
rendered, and the war is done. | saw
a man who saw your husband; he's
coming home And then he rode on.
And my mother just set down the flat
on the table and dropped into a chair
and cried like anything, and the hot
fat burned big hole IN the ironing
sheet but mother didn't seem to mind
that. Law. yes, ! remember it well
1t was one OF the neighbor men on the
gray horse, and he carried the news all
| over

Shirts rs Life Preservers in Mines.

Many men burned in the mines by
the explosion of gas owe their deaths to
the fact that they have persisted in
working without any shirts or other
protection for their bodies save panta-
looms. Often it happens that an explo-
sion Of gas occurs which would prove
comparatively slight in its effects but
for the great surface over which the
burns extend The treatment closes
all the pores of the skin over the burn
ed parts, and while these are extensive,
the patient experiences sort of rs
phyXia-seems to be smothered to
death. Even burns Of slight depth, if
embracing large surface of the body.
almost invariahle prove fatal. 1t is
against the rule in many mines for the
operatives to work without shirts, and
it would be well to enforce the rule in
all the mines and reduce the number OF
cases at least 10 per cent. There is
great temptation to throw off cloth
ing in some mines, especially those
which are very deep, AS the tempera-
ture rises one degree for every fifty feet
in depth, and in many mines the air
that is forced into the c ambers be-
comes heated by the steam pipes in the
down-cast, and loses much of its vital
izing quality before reaching the limit
of the mine. But where there is gas,
stripping is dangerous. Thomas Riley
who died lately, owes his death to cut
ting off the sleeves of his shirt and leav-
ing it ubuttoned III the back.

The Late Mrs. Booth.

Mrs. Booth was the daughter of Mrs.
J. II. McVicker her father being the
present Mrs. McVicker's former hus-
band, Mr.. G. H. Rupyeon After her
fathers death and her mothers subse-
quent marriage to Mr.. J. II. McVicker
she, with her brother Frank, now dead,
was adopted by Mr.. McVicker and af.
terward was called by his name. She
was born in 1S49 and most of her life
was spent in Chicago. As a child she
was precocious and apt She was pos
sessed of phenomenal memory. Her
voice was very pleasant soprano. At
an early age she showed such talent for
the stage that her family encouraged
her to adopt that profession. She re-
ceived an excellent education and was
an accomplished linguist. She appear
ed in McVicker's theater rs Eva in Uc-
Gle Toms Cabin and the child in Pizar-
70 at an early age. Besides this She
appeared in a number of child parts,
and in all of them showed wonderful
talent and appreciation for her work.
Her memory was considered simply
wonderful, it seeming no trouble for
| her to memorize parts which would tax
the efforts of old actors. She also APP
| peared number of times upon the
stage in singing parts. and won equal
applause in them. Her most wonder
| full juvenile performance was the
| representation of the part of Hamlet
through two acts. This was done in
costume, in 1861, she then being only
twelve years of age. This gained her
! quite reputation, bu. shortly after
wards she retired from the stage. She
was married to Mr. Edwin Booth in
New York in 1869, and shortly after
ward without any apparent study or
preparation began playing leading
parts, in support of her husband, at his
new theater in New York, opening the
season and the theater as Juliet to his
Romeo and playing all the leading fe-
m ale roles to his repertoire. During
the season Mr.. Booth appeared here at
McNicker's theater, and his wife was
seen in nearly all the leading roles of
| the day. She was accounted in her
maturity an actress of no ordinary
ability, and in her methods and inten-
sitv was said to resemble her husband
very much. She was under the medi-
UNI height, of nervous temperament
and of very agreeable presence. Her
health began to fail some years ago,
and her ailment soon showed itself to
be consumption. AT the time OF her
husbands departure on his European
engagement she was really in pre-
carious condition, and as she accom-
panied him, it is urged that the climate
changes, together with the faugues OF
! tho tho mr. nj
her extremely exhausted condition, and
the complete prostration which took
| place few months ago and lasted I'M
I'll her death. Shortly before she re-
turned to America she became so low
as to require the presence of Mr.. and
| Mrs. McNicker, who went to London
and brought her back at the end of her
! husbands en2agem ent there. Since
her return she has been gradually sink
ing until she passed away while asleep.

GOVERNOR JACKSON, of West Nir-
ginia, tells this anecdote: II recolect
asking 'Stonewall, who was my cousin.
if he had ever been frightened in war.
He said yes, once he had been consid-
erably under sense of fear. 1t was
in the City of Mexico. A chest con-
tanning large sum of money had been
put in Lieutenant Jackson's charge,
and to be perfectly secure OF it he or
dered it carried to his headquarters,
in an old abbey or convent, and laid
down there alone IN the room with it
to sleep, a sentinel walking the corridor
outside. He had been there in bed
only few minutes, and was getting
drowsy, when he distinctly heard some
thing under his bed, which lifted up as
if man Was secreted there. jackson
said he leaped out of bed and drew
his sword, and examined the bed and
the room in vain. Jackson then sup
posed he had been possibly dreaming,
and resumed his bed. Just "a he was
thinking it was all a mistake, his bed
lifted again, plainly and with some
force He started forth n second time,
sword in hand, and behold! nothing
was there. This time, said he Il was
scared indeed, till my attention WAS
called to a shouting outside in the
street, ano then | found that it was an
earthquake passing under the City OF
Mexico that had lifted my bed up and
given such apprehension"

GRANT AND CONKLING.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Conkling is
here. He and Gen. Grant are insep-
arables. They are seen together every
day Conkling's beard has grown full
er, and he Is getting a greater girth,
and the form that satire has named
Apollo no longer deserves that title.
Neither is he so careful in his dress.
Sometimes he wears blue necktie, as
he is seen skirting the edges Of the par
lors Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on his
way To join Grant at the ladies' ea-
trance on Twenty-Third street But
his ovnrcoat is old, the hat, the same
Derby shaped, unbecoming piece OF
headwear IL was when first worn on
the memorable trip he took to Mentor
to meet Garfield before the 4th OF
March. Illhealth may have had some
thing To do with it: dulled the spirit of
his tastefulness, and worked upon the
accuracy of the tie of his neckscarf, bu,
the sign of carelessness is upon him.

If farmer gives proper care TO ms
flock, the depredations from dogs can be
very considerably lessened, more espec-
iaIlv if every farmer in aneighborhood
is engaged in the same pursuit. Il pup
raised on a farm with sheep Is not apt
to be a sheep thief, unless he Is OF the
lowest type of the sneaking cur. But
the profit in a flock Of ewes numbering
twenty-five to one hundred head Of NUT
ton sheep is sufficient inducement for
every farmer to bestow the requisite
care To keep such Il flock in the best
condition. He would soon lind that
nothing else on the farm brought HIM
half the profit on the investment, and
the present is the best time to make TINS
addition To his stock. Get bunch OF
common ewes which are under hve
wears old, and then add to the flock
rood grade Of Cotswoid male. Keep
the largest and best formed eve lambs
of this cross, sell the Indifferent ewes
and all the male lambs. Repeat this
practice for three years, fattenIng and
disposine of the old stock Is the young
supplies their places, and at the end OF
the third year sell the old male and get
Il young animal Of the same breed; and
a most valuable flock Of mutton sheep
will have been built up, worth per head
more than double the original stock,
while the yearly profit from wool, lambs
and old sheep will have returned
Iarper comparative profit than any other
item on the farm. A home mar
ket there is no danger of Cutting
with mutton sheep, and raising them
gives more profit and speedier returns
than any other stock on the farm.

Emit Trees.

\ correspondent Of The Garden,
ENGLAND SAYS that scarcely any one
plants as many fruit trees as they ought,
especially the apple, pear and plum.
Young trees are cheap enough, and If
rirhtfullv managed grow into money.
There can not be IL greater mistake
than to wait, as many people do, till
the trees die before ordering a new one
from the nursery, when it might just as
well have been in bearing condition.
Young trees are all the better for being
transplanted once before being finally
set out; indeed, in some soils if lifted
a second or third time in order to secure
a network of tibrous roots near the
surface, q very considerable advantage
will be gained. One Of the chief reasons
for continually planting young trees
and grubbng up old is that the former
bear so much better than the latter in
adverse seasons. Old trees are of no
use when the pinch comes. In favor
able year they bear lot of inferior
fruit which is hardly worth gathering,
and after such season there is always
a weary season of waiting when nothing
is brought forth but leaves, and even
these are small and weak To obtain
the best results the right kinds must
be planted to suit each district, and this
deserves, and will probably receive
more attention than has been given it.
1t would be Il great boon if experiment
tai fruit gardens could be established
for the purpose of testing various kinds
of fruit under varying conditions.
