An Old War Story.

Among the Northern men who went
down to General McDowell's head
quarters shortly before the battle Of
Bull Run, "just to see the fun" was
q member of the Pennsylvania Legis-
Ia ture, and one of his "reminiscences of
the stampede and wild fight to the
North after the defeat relates to the
late Judge MoGufin, of Newcastle.
she had been one of the On to Rich
mond crowd" says lIr. Marshall, the
member referred to; chad come down
to stiffen up the Presidents spine, and
was loud in advocating q vigorous
prosecution of the war. He was a
large man and wore a long linen dus-
ter. When the rush to the rear began
he ran with the rest. He was fat, and
as the crowd gradually swept past him
he began to think the rebels must be
almost within grasp of his flying dug
ter tails. Blind with sweat and dEst,
he tripped on a log and fell fiat on his
stomach, or as fiat as he could fall on
such a round stomach. 4 ZoUave, who
was hard at his heels, came down with
emphasis on top. Mr.. McGuffin was
certain tLst the Philistjnes were upon
him, ard with a weak endeavor to roll
his eyes around, that he might see his
foeman's face, exclaimed: "Great
God, gentlemen, can't this thing be
compromised ?"

England'S Army

According to the British army esti
mates for the year ending March Is,
1882, the regular army of the United
Kingdom, inclusive of the forces in
India, embraced 1920 men of all
ranks. The India forces numbered g.
548 men of all ranks. The distribution
of the land forces were as follows: Thir
ty-eight per cent. in England and
Wales, two per cent. in Scotland, six
teen per cent. in ireland and forty five
per cent. abroad. The estimate pro-
vided, in addition, for 139, Ill militia,
IA 511 yeoman cavalry and 245, GAS vol
unteers. The estimates for the current
year provide for a force of 563, 913, of
which only 10000 are regulars. 1t is
the opinion of the United Service Ga,
zette, the best English authority on the
subj :cs, that not more than 10000
troops are at had for service in Egypt,
to which number may be added the
5000 ordered from India.

The Trout Fisher.

A Philadelphia jeweler, whose special
ty is the preparation of ornamental
mementoes in hair, tells of a gay
young fellow whose two favorite pas
times were Iove-making and trout-fish-
ing and who ingeniously devised a
method for making his pet diversions
allies rather than rivals. When he had
carried Irritation so far as to obtain q
lock of his inamorata's hair he would
have it made into trout fly and thus
infuse into the fascinating sport of fish
ing more delicate and tender senti-
ment. More than one hundred flies
thus made from silken tresses which had
been sacrificed by unsuspecting Dull
cineas testified to his dual ardor. After
a long and delightful experience he con-
fded to the man who made the flies that
those fashioned from red locks we're the
most alluring to the speckled beauties
of the stream and that thenceforth he
should confne his attention to red
headed girls. In proof of this he took
a wife whose head was like flame and
for sometime he remained faithful to
that color. In fatal moment, how
ever, he lost confidence and deserted to
auburn. His wife discovered the change
of bait and ultimately procured di-
VERGE, the hy-hook having been pro-
duced as evidence in court.

The Crops In Europe.

The Department of State of Washing
ton is in receipt of recent advices from
Consul Tanner, of Liege, Belgium,
showing that the crops in England and
Belgium have suffered severely from the
protracted wet weather. Farmers in
Belgium only hope at the hest to secure
a half-yield of the wheat crop. Market
gardens have sustained heavy damage,
and Irish potatoes are taken out of a
soil so wet that they begin to rot week
after they are gathered. Large importa-
tons must necessarily follow, and
American farmers are strongly urged to
devise means for placing their Irish po-
tatoes on the markets of Brussels and
Antwerp, where they will meet with
ready sales this coming winter. The
same Consul reports in regard to the
English hop crop as follows: "The
enormous value Of this crop is but little
known even in England. The acreage
in the kingdom is close upon 10000,
and the difference between a good crop,
say of 10 cwt. per acre, and blighted
crop Of only cwt. per acre ia repre-
sented by millions. A large good crop
would realize an average of $25 the
cwt., while crop of only 2 cwt. to the
acre of as good quality as the other in
the production of young fresh vines
would probably fetch $50, but importa
tons from the United States SO COM
pletely rule prices that certainty as to
figures can only be reached when the
quantities of said imports are ascer-
tanned" At tie date of the Consul e
writing DULY 20, 1892 the prospects Of
the hop yield in England and other
European states were gloomy in the ex-
IRENE, the persistent wet weather having
produced bad failure, leaving only
hopes that bare half crop may be
sanured

FEEDING GRAIN TO COWS,

Feeding grain to COWS in summer is
practiced by comparatively few dairy
men. The general opinion seems to be
that during the season when COWS are
in pasture no grain is needed. Where
there is an abundant supply of nutri-
tious grasses, so that the COWS obtain
all that they want to eat, no other food
is needed. An abundant supply of
good pasture grasses will cause COW to
yield all the milk which she is capable
of producing. In regard to this matter
Mr.. Harris Lewis of Herkimer County,
New York, at meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Board of Agriculture several
years ago, said "I have fed COWS that
were out to pasture that had all the
grass they could eat, even if they sat up
nights to cat; have fed them all kinds
of food, in addition, without being able
to increase the quantity or improve the
quality of the milk produced" Where
there is an abundance of good pasture
grass, certainly no other food is needed
are thus favorably situated. Some Of
the best pastures may afford sufficient
supply of grass during o few weeks, but
even these generally begin to fail when
the midsummer heats prevail, and the
COWS find 8 gcanty supply of food. The
most of the pastures, at the best, fur
nish a full supply of grass during only
two or three weeks OF tue early part of
the season, and then the feed becomes
short and soanty. AS consequence,
many of the COWS shrink during the
summer one half in the quantity of milk
given, simply because they do not find
food enough to make more than that
quantity of milk.
MORE PROFITABLE To FEED THAN NOT To
FEED.
Thus it is common practice to allow
the COWS to shrink one-half or more in
their milk during the Summer eimply
because the supply of food is def ,ient.
Is such course creditable to the skill
of the dairyman who owns the animals :?
What would be thought of the man who
owned a cotton mill who, during the
season when goods were in active de-
mand, should allow his mill to run at
only half of its capacity simply because
he neglected to furnish only half
enough cotton to supply it with raw
material |? Any one can see the folly of
such course, yet the dairyman who a.
lows his COW machine for the manufac-
ture OF milk to run at half its producing
capacity during the snmmer, when there
is an active demand for the product, is
no wiser than the shiftless mill owner.

The Rush for Clerkships.
WOMEN ANGRY BECAUSE MEN ARE AP-
POINTED FIRsT-sCENEs AT THE PEN
SION OFFICE.

A Washington letter says:-Secretary
Teller started on his summer trip just in
time to escape the last mad rush for ap-
pointments in the Pension Office, and
the indignation meeting of the women,
who are angry because the first 400
appointees are men. On Wednesday,
Acting Secretary Joslyn had day of
nagging and imploring such as would
drive nervous man wild. He has tried
to explain to the women who apply that
the first 400 were needed as examiners,
and SO must be men; but he says
They don't seem TO understand why,
and one might as well talk to lot of
jaybirds. Both Mr.. Joslyn's room and
the room of Appointment Clerk Hood
have been full all day. the crowd con-
tanning sprinkling of members such
as could be seized upon by the eager
applicants and forced into one final
begging visit to the department.
The fact that the list of appointments
was not made ready to-day led to great
uneasiness on the part of those who
thought they had been appointed. One
young man from Ohio, whose COM
mission was already made out, became
so worried that he telegraphed to his
member of Congress for another re-
minder to the department.. Many
women were sitting in chairs crying.
One said she was weeping because she
did not know whether she had been ap-
pointed or not. She was not so well in
formed as those who knew the 400 were
all men. On being informed she stopped
crying, and began to upbraid the
Secretary. Nearly all the applicants
made poverty their chief plea, and
seemed both grieved and angry that the
Government refused to bestow on them
the aims of Office.
Toward nightfall Mr.. Joslyn re-
Taxed little and gave places to three
women. Tomorrow the anxious women
hope to gain additional favors. The
clerks provided for by the appropria-
ton will not be appointed in lump,
as the first lot were, but Mr.. Joslyn will
appoint them singly or in small lots, as
Commissioner Dudley may be prepared
for them. He cannot accommodate with
desk room all who can be put to work,
nor is there a sufficient number of
clerks ready to tell the new ones how to
go about their duties to admit of turn
ing the entire 800 in upon the Pension
Bureau at once. It would be ridiculous
if it were not pitiful to see the intensity
of anxiety, the hope, the despair, the
helplessness of these men and women
who have set their hearts upon serving
as Government clerks.

This Years Railroad Building.

The year 1881 was an extraordinary
one in railroad building. About nine
thousand and three hundred miles OF
nav track were laid. This yearly mile
age is yet unprecedented in the history
of the country, but it is not likely to
remain so long. According to the Chi
cego RailaOdy Age the number of miles
constructed during tie seven months
ending with July of the present year
reaches the unparalleled total OF six
thousand, which is double the mileage
reported at this time last year. It is not
expected that the rapid rate of increase
shown during the first seven months of
1882 over the correspo nding period of
1881 will continue to the end of the
present year. But it is estimated that
the total mileage of new road built in
1882 will exceed ten thousand miles, and
reach nearly, if not quite, a thousand
more miles than were built last year.
This Is encouraging progress.
