CAPTBALDT.

In Hamerton's charming book, Round
Ny House., giving aD account of several
years residence in the Burgundy district
OF France, there are some notes of a con-
versation with one of the Captains in the
army corps which Garibaldi led to the
aid of the French Republic against the
German invasion in 1870 II, that illus
trates the kind of sway which the power
ful personality of the old Italian heroe
exerted over his followers. Garibaldl
had just arrived with his command in in
clement winter weather, at the city near
which Mr.. Hamerton was living. His
| wretched health prevented him from ex-
ercising much immediate personal super
vision over his troops. He was rarely
visible, and, when he appeared, was
obliged to move about in carriage.
Soldiers and officers spoke of him as s'our
father, and not as the General. A Cap
tain said to Hamerton: awe have 40 dis
cipline whatever; but tits our affection for
our father, Garibaldi, that binds US to-
gether. 1t was not for the French Re-
public that we came here, but our father
came and we followed him. Look at
those men on the straw. Where will
they be in a week? In the grave per-
haps, or in the hospital. Some of these
fellows are well-to-do; others have not a
halfpenny; the richer ones share with
their poorer brethren; but whatever may
be the differences of social station or mil
itary rank, all the Giribaldians feel them
selves equal in the presence of their
father, and all are equally cared for ard
loved by him. Yes' he continued,
''there has been no such influence exer-
cised over the wills of men since Jesus of
Nazareth was followed by his disciples.
There have been other great military
leaders, but they were worldly men, and
their followers were actuated by worldly
motives. But our poor, dear father, Gar
ibaldi, pray what has he to offer? The
liberty to follow him-the delight of
knowing that we are near him, and shall
see his face occasionally, and hear the
tone of his voice calling us his children
the pride of being his own, his chosen,
who have shared in all his perils, and
have never deserted him to the last
there are the only rewards that the be-
loved father offers. or that his devoted
children care for"

A THRILLING ACCIDENT

CHARLOTTE, n. O., June IA borr;-
bic and thrilling accident occurred ON the
North Carolina railroad Yesterday morn
ing. IN which an engineer made gallant
but Intellectual effort to save the life of a
chlid. SIS Bryan was the engineer. and,
while pulling along under full head Of
steam, he saw an object on the track
some distance ahead which he supposed
to be dog. 1t appeared to be ntterIv
unaware OF the approaching train. and
the engineer blew on brake. At the first
sound OF the whistle the object moved
and Bryan was Mortified to see it was p
child instead of a dog as he supnosed
The train was within few hundred
yards OF the child, and the engineer re-
Versed his lever and had all the brakes
applied. The child began to crawl off
the track, but on. reaching the rail, deli5-
ercately stopped aid seated itself astride
OF 1t. The brave engineer trembled and
the tears came to his eyes as he realized
that 1t would be impossible to stop the
train before he could reach the SPOT
where the child was sitting; but bravely
swinging himself out of the window. he
started to crawl along the engine to its
front, with the intention of picking up
the child before the cowcatcher struck #.
He would probably have succeeded in
his perllous undertaking, but lunge of
the engine caused him to lose his balance
and he was precipitated down an enobank-
ment, and, though hurt was not fatally
injured. He had hardly regained his
feet before piercing scream was heard,
and he knew that the child had been run
down: The engine stopped within its
length after striking the child, and then
the horrible task Of pulling the mangled
body out from under the wheels began.
The body had been cut half in two as
cleanl y as If done with knife, the head
part falling to one side and the legs to
the other. A shudder ran through the
engineer when he picked up the head
and body of the child, and the sensation
he experienced when it broke into cry,
was indescribabIe He hastily laid it up-
on the ground, when it uttered the most
agon1zlng screams for full two minutes
before it gave gasp and died 1t was a
strange experience to hear dismember-
ed body crying and the gallant Sis Bryan
himself mangled and torn by his brave
effort turned away from it.

HOW TO HATCH FULL BROODS.

A little care with sitting hens will en-
able the farmer to get full broods, if he
will only take the trouble to select eggs
that are fertile. The better method is to
endeavor to place the eggs under two or
three hens on the same day, as there are
nearly always two or three inclined to
sit about the same time when the focks
are large. Put not over a dozen eggs
under each hen; in cold weather it is
best not to give them over eight each
When the eggs have been in the nest
about ten days or two weeks, go to all
three of the nests ard carry the eggs to
the house. Then, by holding an egg in
the left hand, and shading it with the
right, bet tween the eye and good light
Ga coal-oil lamp will answer) the position
of the air chamber at the top of the large
end may be observed. IF this has be-
come enlarged, and the egg is very dark
from the air chamber to the small end,
the egg contains a chick. If the egg is
clear or transparent it contains no life
After selecting the dare eggs shake each
one gently, and if the fluid strikes loose
ly against the shell it is rotten, but if no
motion in the egg is experienced by the
hand place them back in the nest, and
boil the clear ones for feeding young
chickens already Matched. BY using
this plan the good eggs that formerly
were under hens can be placed under
two, or one, as the exigency demands,
and the third hen may be given another
batch along with fresh trio. With a
little judgemnt and experience one can
know almost to a certainty how many
chicks hen will bring off,

Frederick Douglass, in his Decoration

Frederick Douglass, in his Decoration
Day Grafton At Rochester, said:
Unquestionably, the condition of the
freemen is not what it ought to be, but
the cause Of their affliction is not to be
found in their freedom, but in their for
mer slavery. 1t does not belong to the
present, but to the past. They were
emancipated under unfavorable condi-
tions. They were literally turned loose,
hungry and naked to the open sky. They
had neither home, friends, nor money.
Such was their destitution at the start
that their enemies consoled themselves
with the thought that hunger and expo
sure would thin them out, and possibly
destroy them altogether Those who now
carp at their destitution and speak of
them with contempt, should judge them
leniently, and measure their progress,
not from the heights to which they may
in time attain, but from the depths from
which they haue come. They have per-
ished from neither cold nor hunger, and
from the last United States census we
learn that their increase is ten per cent.
greater than that of the native white pop
ulation of the south.

Dedication of the New M. E. Church
Last Sunday was the dav apno;ntec

Last Sunday was the day appointed
for the dedication of the new Meth
odist Church South, just flushed in
Stephens City. Saturday the pre-
.liminaiy services were held by the
pastor The Church Conference re-
ceived the reports from the Building
Committee and the Committee of La
dies who furnished the church. The
Building Committee reported the en-
tire cost of the church at $2800.00 /;
100000 of that amount uhprovfded
for. The ladies had furnished the
church at cost of $l64.00. These
Committees were discharged, and the
church given into the hands OF the
Trustees. The Trustees met on Sat-
urday, and fixed upon plan for rails
ing the Indebtedness on Sunday.
Sunday morning at an early hour
the peple began coming from every
direction, and before the hour for pub
lie services had arrived every avaiia-
BILE space in the church was filled At
IL o'clock Rev. r. NJ Sledd, D. D., of
Richmond, Va, preached the Dedica-
tory Sermon, from Psa. 90: 5-"Holi-
ness becometh Thine house, 0, Lord,
forever" This sermon was eminently
worthy the occasion.
After the sermon the pastor made
brief statement Of the progress and
completion of the work. He also read
an extract from the memoir of Rev.
! James Walls, showing that the first
church built upon the same spot of
ground was in 1888. Mr.. Walls was
converted in this church under the
preaching of Bishop Asbury, who
preached from a work bench in the I'M
finished church. This was before there
was any Methodist church in Win
chester. 1t was stated also that the
second church was built in 1927.
An appeal was then made to the
congregation for the remaining indebt-
edness, and in little more than one
hour $632.00 were raised in cash and
good subscriptions. The Trustees we're
then called forward, and Rev. B. F.
Ball, of Baltimore, in their name, pre-
sent.d the church for dedication, DR..
I'Sledd performing that service.
At P. M, Rev. Mr.. Ball addressed
Sunday School Mass Meeting. AT
night DR.. Sledd preached again to a
large audience, numbering a little less
than in the morning.
Everybody appeared to be highly
pleased with everything. especially
the appearance of the neat and well
arranged church.
Services have been held day AM
night during the week "a special ser
vice on Thanksgiving Day.

PREPARE FOR THE HoLIDAYs.-To
our business people we know Of no
better advice at present than to pre-
pare for the Holidays by inserting an
attractive advertisement in the STAR.
Already the people are beginning to
be on the lookout for holiday goods,
and from now until the festive season
has passed, every wise and jud icious
storekeeper will extend an invitation
to the public through the best channel
to come and buy. 1t is no longer a
matter to be discussed as to whether
or not an advertisement pays. 1t is
true that much money is thrown away
by business men advertising in medl-
ums that do not reach the people, but
it is equally true, and judicious adver-
Using bears witness of their knowl-
edge Of its being money well expend-
ed, by keeping their names and bust
ness before the public. Such men
would Just as soon think OF having
their shutters closed during business
hours as to take their advertisement
out of the paper. Advertising is the
life of trade, and at this season of the
year it is especially so.
