Marching Volunteers.

The method of marching troops Is a
subject Of no less interest to the
soldiers Of the State than 20 those
who tread the frontier war path.
The late Gen. Upton, present on n hot
day, at a review of division of the
New York National Guard, was add
niring the picturesque features of the
display, the color and excitement and
glitter, as the masses swept by the
reviewing stand. Looking toward the
the rear Of the column over the miles
of flashing steel, he noticed that the
formation was the same company
front, elbows touching, uniform step,
quick time while in front the pace
was already beginning to tell on the
plucky but over-driyen men, as shown
by white lips, staring eyes, dilated
nostrils and painting chests. Turning to
friend, the General said, 'This is
sheer cruelty" Had he known that
some of these regiments would march
two or three miles further, in the same
close order and regular step, his wonder
and compassion would have been I'M
bounded. it is a grievous mistake and
SOHlelIlUtS u tliilt w Keep men blhitu
up continuously for such distance; az
well might the reviewing stand be "a
long as the route. Well-seasoued
regulars are never abused in that way ;
why should occasionally exer-
cised militia be so illtreated? There
can be put one answer to the query,
/ fear-"It is custom" Whenever
troops are taken outside their
armories the rules prescribed Tor
marches should govern. In case OF p
review, the route step should be taken
until within very short distance of
the reviewing point; the uneven and
slippery stones Of the city streets make
the uniform step difficult and wearl-
some, and the route step welcome
relief. ! am sure that the change
would be appreciated, not only by the
soldiers, but also by the curb-stone
critics, as giving variety to the spec
tacle; besides, the men would he kept
fresher and perform with greater ease
the more precise movements when
ordered and that, you will agree with
me, il a sufficient reason. Gen. Rotten

General Buffers singular Vow
THE REASON HE WILL NOT ACT AS COUNSEL
FOR GUITEAU.

THE REASON HE WILL NOT ACT AS COUNSEL
FOR GuIrEAU.
General Benjamin f. Butler has de-
clined to act for Guiteau, notwithstand-
ing the urgent appeal of his relatives.
II is not generally known that General
Butler some years ago made vow
never to enter Criminal Court again
as counsel for prisoner under crimi-
nal indictment. The reason he assigns
for such action carries with it quite n
history.
1t appears that during his second
term in Congress one of his henchmen
-and a faithful friend-who was Sher-
if Of one of the counties in his Con-
gressional district, received a telegraph
ic dispatch from the Sheriff of an
adjoining county asking him to arrest
prisoner who had escaped from hh
custody and was on board an incoming
train. On the arrival of the train in
question the culprit WAS arrested, and
the Sheriff locked him up pro tenn in
the railroad depot. from which he sub
scquently escaped. Pursued by the
Sheriff. the prisoner halted at the bank
of creek, produced pistol, and threat
ened his parsuer with death should
he advance one step further.
The courageous sheriff, though I'M
armed, did not hesitate in the discharge
of his duty, and met his death in con-
sequence. The man was hunted down
and in short time safely lodged in
jail. Then came the funeral Of his VIC
tim at which General Butler, next to
the widow and fatherless, acted as chief
mourner. "Some six months after
this" says General Butler, 81 was in
the criminal court, when the prisoner
before mentioned was arraigned for
trial. Ia answer to the presiding judge,
he represented himself as being with
out counsel and requested that /
should be assigned to defend him,
which request was granted. l. pleaded
all sorts of excuses, but in the state of
Massachusetts, a similar request from a
prisoner on trial for his life never
passes UNDECIDED, and | was compelled
TO act as defender of the very man
who had so cruelty deprived one Of
nv best friends Of his life. Once as
signed" said he, :" forgot everything
but my official oath as an attorney,
and succeeded so well for my client
that in the end he was convicted Of a
minor degree Of manslaughter, entailing
only few years incarceration in jail.
Then came the hue and cry of my po-
litical opponents. This is the man,
they said, who escorts the widow to the
grave at the funeral of his fait' ful
henchman, weeps crocodile tears, and
then defends the assassin and assists
him in defeating the ends Of justice
"At the next election" said General
Butler, 81 did not get even one vote in
that district, though heretofore they
had been unanimously cast in my in
terest. Can you then wonder at my
registering a vow never TO enter Grim
inal court again.

Cultivation of Oats.

H. Talcott, in the Cincinnati Grange
Bulletin, says that for several years past
he has greatly improved the yield of
oats by drilling them in both ways. He
says: 81 first make good seed-bed
by thorough blowing, and unless l
have plenty of manure to pillow under
Tor the oats, use on my old clay farm
that had been in constant use over six
ty years before l purchased it, 200 to
$50 pounds of commercial fertilizer
per acre. l harrow the ground about
twice as much as we used to do in old
en- times; it is just like chopping mince
pie meat, you can never get it too fine.
Then drill u bushels of oats to the
acre, and 100 10 125 pounds of phos-
plate with it, each way, making three
bushels of oats and 200 to $50 pounds
of fertilizer per acre. Since adopting
this plan | have not had less than 30
bushels per acre, but from 81 to GO has
been my yield
Don't attempt this with wheat for a
certain reason. Wheat, if sown too
deep roots twice, the lower root often
first, sending up sufficient plant growth
to start the second root about three
quarters of an inch to one inch from
the surface of the ground, then decays
1t takes much of the strength of the
plant, and all the double root wheat
plants are sickly. This you can tell for
yourselves next fall after the crop is
fairly up by a careful examination be-
fore the berry is all rotten. But oats
do not cut this caper, but will form the
same root, whether on the surface or
three inches deep, only if they are
middling well covered, they stand a
drouth little the best. Sowing both
ways puts them deeper and evener in
the ground.

A Word for the Sheep.

The sheep is the cosmopolite among
domestic animals. With habitant
extending from Nova Iembl. to New
Zealand and following the lines of lat
itude around the world, it accommo-
dates itself to every surrounding, here
sweltering in the heated atmosphere of
the tropic pampas, and there shivering
before the crisp blasts that fan the
mountains brow; whether in glade or
glen, in field or forest, feeding on grain
or grass, it is found fitted to his sur
rounding conditions and to unfailingly
mete to its owner in the measure from
which it has been supplied.
The conspicuous pliability of the
sheep baye enabled breeders possessed
of skill and enterprise to produce va
rieties suited not alone to the purpose
of the pastoral herdsman but to the
average farmer as well. For the latter
whatever lis conditions and locality,
some varie lies MAJ be found from
which he may confidently anticipate
the maximum profit for such judicious
care and seasonable sustenance as he
may accord them.
The crying need of American agri-
culture to-day is more general moor

History OF the Tomato.

A good many yeMs ago man who
had recently arrived from the Bermu-
da Islands was sent to York county.
Pa, jail for some ofiense committed
against the laws of the commonwealth.
He had with him few seeds which he
planted in the rich soil of the jail yard.
Before the plants which sprang from
the seed reached maturity he was dis
charged, and no one knew the name or
nature of them. They grew luxuriant-
ly, bearing fruit of large size and I'M
usual appearance As this strange
fruit ripened, its color changed from
green to brilliant red, and became an
object of wonder and admiration to all
the inmates of the Jail. Mrs. Kline
felter, the lady keeper, cautioned all
the prisoners against eating any of the
fruit, as she was sure it was poisonous,
and besides she had promised the man
who had planted the seed that she
would endeavor to preserve specimens
Of it for him should he return in
time.
Just when the fruit was fully matur-
ed, the Bermuda prisoner revisited the
the jail and asked to see the plant.
This request granted, he next called
for pepper, salt and vinegar, and to the
horror of the good lady, commenced to
eat of the supposed poisonous fruit
with a relish that astonished be-
holders. After enjoying the ange
repast, he informed Mrs. X. that the
fruit or vegetable was the tomato or
love apple, and it would be found
wholesome and nutritious. The seeds
of the remaining tomatoes were care
fully preserved and distributed among
the friends and neighbors of the lady,
and thus this now popular esculent was
introduced into the ancient and goodly
borough of York. For many years af
ter it was cultivated as an ornament
rather than for table use, but by de-
grees its merits began to be more fully
understood and appreciated and there,
as elsewhere. !. found general public

The Latest Abduction,
THE TRUE ACCOUNT OF MRS. DICKINsoN's
SEARCH FOR HER LOST BOY.

Mrs. William II. Dickinson, of the
town of Commonwealth, Wis, left the
city last night in despair, after long
and fruitless search for a little son VINO
was stolen from her some months ago.
A reporter interviewed Mrs. Dickinson
some days ago, and learned the details
of her story, but promised not to use
the story until she had fully satisfied
herself that her boy was not in this
city.
Mrs Dickinson said she had been liv-
ing in the little town of Commonwealth,
Wis, with her husband, who is a very
old and inhrm man, and her son Willie,
boy of 6 years. Her husband had
some very bitter enemies, who we're
constantly threatening him in various
ways, and finally, on the 1st of Novem-
Der last, when her little boy failed to
return from school and search proved
unavailing, she determined that he had
been stolen rs revenge upon her hus-
band.
Early in November it was learned
that the child had been taken away by
two men, and the mother started to fol-
low up every clue. Pinkerton's detect
ives were put to work in the case and a
reward was offered for the boys recov-
cry. Mrs. Dickinson has traversed
nearly every portion of the country
and was finally directed to Culpepper,
Va, where she arrived few days ago
and learned that man with boy an
swering the description of her child
had left the town the day before.
Investigation was made and it was
ascertained that the boy had been in
the custody OF a man who gave his
name as William Morris, who was
about 80 years of age and over six feet
in height, who had treated the boy with
great cruelty aud beaten him brutally.
Mrs. Dickinson visited the rooms oc.
cupied by the man and boy and found
garrn ents there which she identified as
having herself made for her boy. A
portrait of the abcuctor was also
found.
Morris informed people in the town
that he was coming to Washington, and
purchased tickets for this city, but also
told others that he would not stop here,
but was going on to New York. Mrs.
Dickinson, assisted by the detectives,
has carefully searched every place in
the city where the abductor might be
staying, but was unsuccessful, and last
night left the city to follow the child
stealer to Bridgeport, n. y, where she
believes him to have gone.
Congressman Hubbell recognized an
old acquaintance in Mrs. Dickinson,
and she visited his house on Iowa Cir
Gle during her stay in the city. Mr..
Hubbell interested himself so deeply
in the case that it was currently report
ed that the stolen child was relative
of his.

Killing Snakes With Dynamite.

The following is an extract from q
letter which appeard in the Little
Rock ARK. Democrat: After long
search We found what is known as the
odd Jackson.Copper Mines situated on
the rolling fork of Little river Sewer
county. We commnced cleaning out
an old shaft, and when about four feet
deep large rock was removed by" Mr..
Thompson, and before it could be raised
to the top, the head of monster rattle
snake peered from the opening made
by the removal OF the rock, and before
this snake was killed we found them
breaking in upon us from other portions
of the wall; from their Kissing and on
ward march upon as, retreat was our
only safety With shot gun and re-
volver we battled with the enemy, and
managing to keep them all between
the shaft, but with all we could do 1t
was impossible to destroy them, and
half pound stick of dynamite was
charged and thrown in their midst,
and when the smoke cleared away
victory was ours, and all that were not
entirely destroyed retreated, as the
tails of several were seen protrudlng
flom the wall.
'Words cannot describe the picture
presented, and the opinion of all was
that at least fifty of these huge rep
tiles had been killed, but when coun-
ted only eighteen rattle and one black
snake, with the remains of half dozen
more shattered by the explosion, was
the result Of our hard earned victory.
The snakes were the largest OF tons
snecies have ever seen-the smallest
one measured four feet seven ana q
half inches and the longest one men
less than seven feet. The least number
Of rattles was twelve and the greatest
twenty-three, and the weight OF the
largest rattlesnake was twen,y-slx
noTnds and four ounces. The oiacK
snake was perfectly immense, but we
q portion of his body was torn OH ana

poration of the sheep into the farming
economy. More prolific than horses
or cattle, as well as more tractable.
subsistlng on scantier heritage and -fe-
curing less supervision, it claims the
additional advantage of paying for its
raising" in annual installments of
marketable fleece pending its growth
TO maturity. 1t is more readily trans
ferred from one inclosure to another
and Is easily restrained by fences which
would prove no barrier against the en-.
croachment of other farm stock. Its
light tread and love of repose warrant
It's access to fields and pastures where
the tramping of cattle and the tearing
of hogs would not be tolerated. II
wastes less food in proportion to the
quantity consumed, and will hunt out
and utilize much that would otherwise
be lost to the farmer. Yielding re-
turn In both fleece and flesh, it fur
nishes its owner with the double adj
vantage of catching good market for
has product, requiring less water, and
disposed to work for It's food. 1t is
without peer when summers drouth
taxes the farmers resources for ena-
bling his live stock to maintain an av-
erage of thirst and flesh.
All that can be said in behalf of feed
ing live stock on the farm, as distin-
guished from the soil impoverishing
policy of placing the raw grain and
grass upon the market, will be found
to apply with double emphasis to the
farm that carries as a part of it's out
fit one or more sheep per acre. No
animal returns more fertility to the
soil in proportion to the amount ex-
acted for its support, while none equals
it in TIE eveness with which the drop
pings are distributed.
Notwithstanding the evident advan-
tages an increase in sheep culture
brings to agriculture of a country gen.
orally, and especially inuring to the
benefit of snch farmers as incorporate
it into their system, the fact is appar-
rent that sheep are not so numerous,
or evenly distributed as they should be.
