MStOnewall" Jackson.

The story OF the killing Of General
Jackson has been told over and over
again, but never seems to be wanting in
dramatic interest, and is as often read by
those whom the history of the struggle
for freedom never fails to attract. II
was at Charlottesville, in May, 1853,
when he turned Hooker's right, upon
which he turned by surprise. The i'll
fated Jackson rode out with his staff and
escort That was 9 or 10 o'clock Of the
night Of May 2. He was riding on his
well-known "Old Sorrell" toward his
own men. The little body Of horsemen
were mistaken for Federal cavalry charg-
ing, and the Rebel regiments on the
right and left OF the road fred sudden
volley into them. General jackson 70.
ceived one ball in his left arm, two inches
below the shoulder joint, shattering the
bone and severing the chief artery; .
second passed through the same arm, be-
tween the elbow and wrist, coming out
through the palm Of the hand; third
entered the palm OF the right hand,
about the middle, and passed through,
breaking two Of the bones. He fell from
his horse, and was caught by an officer
at hand. Later he was found, placed
upon litter, and conveyed 10 the rear.
On his way to a place Of safety, one OF
the litter-bearers was shot and jackson
fell from the shoulders Of the men, re-
ceiving severe confusion, adding to the
injury Of the arm, and injuring the side
considerably. He died eight days after
ward at Guinea's Station, some i've
miles from the place where he fell.

Investigations made in Canada and
Michigan show that the destructive for
ost fires generally start and spread in the
branches and foliage Of trees that are
left on the ground by the lumbermen.
The resinous boughs of the pine, hem
lock, spruce and fir will, when dry, kim
die with the touch Of spark, and pro-
duce heat 80 intense as to give fire
great headway. 1t will then dry the
wood in living trees to such an extent
that they will burn readily. After for
est fire has been raging for considerable
time it heats the air that moves before
it, so that it prepares the trees through
which it passes to feed the advancing
flames. A fire once under headway
will generally continue in it's course till
an extensive clearing or body OF water
is reached.

An Occasion for BOycOtting.

In reply to correspondent who in.
dignantly asks il nothing can be done to
stop the vandals who are transforming
the face of the country into one vast ad-
vertising medium, the Springfield Re
Dublican observes that one obstacle in
the way Of preventing such outrages is
the melancholy fact that farmers and
landed proprietors "don't care, or, if
they do, it is only 81 or 50 worth. The
disapproval of the advertising fend is
chiefly felt by persons who don't own
any fences or sheds or rocks-who have
nothing but sensitive taste and pow
erless Indignation. These unfortunate
people can't do anything except swear
never to buy particle Of the soaps or
dentifrices or elixirs or suspenders or
other contrivances 30 insolently adver'
tised, and never to deal with the adver-
tisers. We should like 10 see league
formed, bound by that solemn oblies.

for boycotting."

BITS OF INFORMATION.

THE title of Gear was first applied to
Ivan ILL.,, 1882.
The elephant was put upon tho coins
Of Caesar because that animal was called
Coezar in Mauritauria.
The first college established in Amer
lea was the Harvard College, in 1888.
It received its name from the founder,
John Harvard.
The term Quaker was first applied TO
the sect in derision. When George Fox,
the founder, was brought before the
magistrate he told him to quake before
the word of the Lord.
ARMoRrAL bearings became hereditary
in families at the close Of the twelfth
century. They took their rise from the
knights painting their banners with dif-
ferent figures, and were employed by tho
Crusaders TO distinguish noblemen in
battle.
The finest emeralds come from South
America, principally Peru. The largest

The origin Of the expression Of "Hob-
sons choice" is as follows: Tobias
Hobson was the first man in England
who let out hackney horses. When .
man came for horse he was led into the
stable, where there was great choice,
but he obliged him to take the hor
which stood next to the stable door, 80
that every customer was alike well
served, according to his chance. Hence
it became q proverb, when what ought
to be your election was forced upon you,
to say, Hobson's choice"
PAroN says that although the term
brass frequently occurs in scripture from
the era of job downward, there is no
indication that brass, as known in mod

period of the Roman empire" In Nc

Narcotism From Nutmegs.

The fact that nutmegs have strong
narcotic properties has long been known,
but they are in such common use as
favorite condiment used in small quan-
tites that their dangerous nature. when
taken in large quantity, is apt to be over
looked and forgotten, even by those
aware of their tendency.
A physician reports, in one OF our
medical exchanges, a case where lady
patient during his absence was induced
by her old woman nurse to take nutmeg
tea. One and half nutmegs were used
in making the tea, and the patient drank
the whole of the iecoction during the
day. About 10 o'clock at night she be-
gan to get drowsy, and A o'clock the
next morning she was ip profound
stupor. At 10 o'clock the next morning
the narcotic effects Of the nuJmegs began
to wear off, and by 4 p. m. she had
pretty well recovered. The symptoms
were about the same as those produced
by opium, and the remedies given were
the same.

The Cause Of Mob Law.

The existence of mob law in commu.
nifty indicates either state OF semi-civ.
ilization as displayed in our frontier set
Elements where government is still In
embryo, or a lack of confidence in the
Justice meted out by the courts. When
We find this disorder apparently increas.
ing in old and conservative portions oi
the country, and when summary ven
gcance for crime is winked ut If not
openly approved by sober, respectable
people, it is evident that something more
than ordinary is wrong. They don't
approve of mob law because they believe
it to be right. They know it is all wrong,
and q disgrace to the community even
when the sufferer from it deserved his
fate, instead of being, as is sometimes
the case, an entirely innocent individual.
Why is this? There can be only one
answer. 1t is the delay and difficulty, If
not impossibility in many cases, of pun
ishing criminals through the ordinary
methods. The Constitution was careful
to guarantee to criminals the right to o
speedy and impartial trial, but that in
most cases is tho last thing they want.
The very first effort Of prisoners at
torneys, too often successful, IS Tor de-
lay, in the hope that new subjects may
engross the attention Of the public: Wit
nesses become scattered and the most
unfavorable facts forgotten. That the
public has any right to speedy trial is
a fact too often ignored. This OF itself
tends to encourage crime, for the moral
effect of punishment is largely lost when
so long delayed, even If conviction is
attained. Then the insanity dodge has
been played so extensively of late years
as to practically work denial OF JUS
tice. Men whose sanity had been trusted
all through life in every sort OF business
transactions are suddenly found to have
become irresponsible beings, and the
law which would have held q man re-
sponsible in all ordinary matters sud
denly finds him irresponsible should he
take notion to imbrue his hands In the
blood of his fellow-man. To heighten
the absurdity, if possible, a person
whom twelve men have declared so In
sane that he can kill his brother without
legal responsibility, is allowed to go forth
Tree ludn W CulJ ouo LID ue"iJ wv
on some one else. 1t would seem that
even lunatics who 60 about killing peo-
ple ought to be confined in the interests
of society. The general public is en-,
tirely out Of patience with all this, and
the feeling has become very general thai
if the courts will not punish criminals
the people will take the law in thei
own hands. This is not creditable, bu
dealing with facts, there is no us'
mincing things. When the people. o
this country conclude to abolish capita
punishment they will do it through thei
Legislatures, and in the meantime the,
expect the courts to punish crime speed
lily and vigorously. With the certaint
that punishment in legal way is sur
} to follow crime the motive and excus
for mob action will disappear, and wit
it the acts themselves. -Steu6envttl

The grass on Christmas Day was as

usually fat graveyard. The preceding
Christmas was "White Christmas, I"
but it would be hard to find q year more
disastrous to human life than that just
closed. If the year 1882 surpasses it,
then indeed we may expect TO have an
