Washington, S.-Gen. Robert Toombs,
speaking of Georgia politics, today, said
great many of our best men are really
taking no interest in politics. The late
methods Of obtaining political rreferment
are very distasteful to our best citizens.
They will not take sfice. They look on
politics with loathing. Geo. E. Brown,
who by an organized system controls
$4,000 negro votes Of Georgia, has en-
tered into q combination with certain
democrats; or men who call themselves
democrats (they are not in TRUTH, and
they manage to control everything and
distribute all offices to suit themselves;
that is the way Georgia politics are run.
The truth is our people have been indif-
ferent ever since the democrats allowed
Tilden to be counted out. After that our
folks said: "What is the use Of electiHg
9 President? We cannot get him into
Office after we do elect him. Instead OF
following the plain path of duty they
allowed Sam. Randall to lead them
astray." The growth of manufactures
in the south is not increasing the protec.
ton sentiment in that section. Our man.
ufacturing interests in the south do moi
need protection.

A Pathetic Incident.

Frank Moore relates this sffectng instance
of diving sons recognition of his mother.
In one of the fierce engagements near Me-
chancsville, a young lieutenant of Rhode
Island battery had his right foot so shattered
bv a fragment of shell that on reaching
Washington, after one of those horrible am
bulance rides, and a journey of weeks
duration, he was obliged to undergo amputa-
ton of the leg. He telegraphed home, hun.
dreds Of miles away, that all was going we'll,
and with soldiers fortitude. composed him
self to bear his sufIerings alone.
Unknown to him, however, his mother,
who had read the report of his wound, was
Fastening to see him. She reached Washing.
ton at midnight, and the nurses would have
kept her from seeing her son until morning.
One sat by his side, tanning him as he slept,
her hand on his feeble, fuctuating pulse.
But what woman's heart cOuld resist the
pleadings of mother then? In the darkness
she was finally allowed to glide in and take
| a place at his side. She touched his pulse
| as the nurse had done. Not word had been
spoken, but the sleeping boy opened his eyes
and said
''That feels like my my mothers hand.
Who is this beside mef 1t is my mo ther.
Turn up the gas and let me see mother"
The two dear faces met in one long, joy-
ful, sobbing embrace.
The gallant fellow, just twenty -one, had
his leg amputated on the last day Of his three
years service, underwent operation after
operation, and, at last when death drew nigh.

A Ghost Story.

Many persons may be interested in a
version of that strange tale known as the
''Beresford Ghost Story" dear to all lovers
of the supernatural, which is here given. 1t
is warranted as correct on no less an authority
than the present Archbishop of Armagh, who,
as a great great grandson of one of the
principal actors and collaterally descended
from the other. certainly ought to know all
about it, if anyone does. Nichola Sophia
Hamilton, who atterward became Lady
Beresford, had made an agreement with the
Earl of Tyrone of the De la Poer family,
with whom she had been brought mp, that
whichever of them died first was to appear to
the other if there was any truth in revealed
religion. in which neither of them had any
faith. One morning Lady Beresford, who
was paying a visit, came down to breakfast
in very agitated state, with black ribbon
round her wrist. When her husband, Sir
Tristram, asked her what was the matter,
she begged him to ask no questions, but told
him that the post would bring him tidings of
Lord Tyrone's death, and that he would in
the next year be the father of a son. These
predictions came true the expected letter
brought the news that Lord Tyrone had died
the Saturday before, and in due time a son
was born. Lady Beresford always continued
to wear the ribbon round her wrist.
Sir Tristram died, and his widow after
time married Captain Gorges, who turned
out so badly that she had to separate from
him. When she was living in Dublin she
gave dinner party to celebrate her birthday.
and invited an old clergyman who had
christened her He was the first arrival and
she told him she was just forty-eight

that she would have a son who would marry
his brothers daughter and that she would
make a most unfortunate marriage, and die
on her 47th birthday. He touched her wrist
to prove his appearance was real, and the

wore black ribbon. She was buried in

A constant waste and repair of all the
bodily tissues, says the American Poultry
Yard, belong to the normal condition of
all healthy animal life. Certain portions
of the food taken into the stomach are in
some way. not yet fully understood, per-
haps, absorbed and used for supporting
and sustaining the entire system. Other
portions seem to have no such office to
perform, but pass from the stomach
through the alimentary canal and are
taken up by the scavengers of the body
the intestines-and discharged as useless,
and worse than useless. matter. And we
learn from these facts that supplying mere
aliment of the most condensed and nour
ishing sort, and in quantities just
sufficient to support health. is
not the true way TO keep all their bodily
| functions in their best condition. II is
just as necessary that the waste portions
of food should be supplied AS that the di
rectly life sustaining constituents should
not be wanting. Hence. we urge upon
poultry keepers the necessity of giving
something which, by its mere bulk, may
help to fill the almost Unsuitable crop and
the ever-grinding gizzard of the fowl, and
while eliminating the needed share for
general sustenance, shall also furnish the
waste matter, which is equally important
to the well being of the flock. For this
purpose almost any coarse. bulky article.
such as potatoes, chopped apples, turnips.
cabbage, or in winter hay or rowen will
answer, and their use will make fewer
demands on the meal barrel and the other
expensive materials needed for the sup
port of the poultry.

Keeping Tires on Wheels.

During this dry weather it is oftentimes
quite difficult to keep tires from getting
loose. A correspondent of the virginis
Granger gives his method of keeping
tires on wheels as follows:
l ironed wagon some years ago for my
own use, and before putting on the tires
filled the felloes with linseed oil and the
tires have worn out and were never loose.
l also ironed buggy for my own use seven
years ago, anu the tires are as tight as
when put on. use long cast iron heater
made for the purpose. The oil is brought to
boiling heat, and the wheel is placed on a
stick so as to hang in the oil. An hour is
sufficient for common sized felloe, of which
the timber should be dry, as green wood will
not take oil. Care should be taken that the
oil does not get hotter than the boiling heat,
else the wood might be set on FIRE and burned.
Timber filled with oil is not susceptible to
water and is much more durable. l was
amused some years ago when told black
smith how to keep his tires tight by his tell
ing me that it was profitable business to
tighten tires and the wagon maker will also
say that it is a profitable business for him to
repair wheels. but what will the farmer, who
helps support the wheelwright and smith, say?
