 had my letter to write and post and this involved ive-mile drive by moonlight to the rear across the most ghAstly field which can well be imagined had some trouble in finding my carriage. had left it at a we'll defined position on the battle field of the day before, but to reach it had to walk for more than a mile over plain where the earcasses of men and horses were not merely thickly strewn but frozen into all sorts of fantastic attitudes. The thermometer had been l6' below the freezing point on the previous night, and men only slightly wounded vho had not been able to crawl to their comrades, had been frozen to death One man was stiff in sitting position, with both his arms lifted straight above his head, as though his last moments had been spent in an inyoca- ton, and 1t gave one 6 shudder in the clear moonlight to approach him Others were crumpled up in Q death agony, and so frozen In places, many together, French and Ger mans were mingled, not because they had been at close quarters, but because the same ground had first been occupied by one and then by the other, perhaps at an interval of half day. I think was more comfortable with bullets pinging in my ears than walking amid the distorted shadows of these dead and stiffened men and it was quite 8 relief to see a haystack on fire, and regiment warm- ing themselves at it, and my prudent coach man within comfortable distance of the ruddy blaze. Then comes the hard part of the cor respondents life. I had still to dine I he'd hved since the mornings coffee on a loaf of bread, which had been picking at all dsyi then to write my letter-a good two hours task then to see that it was safely posted, either that night or the next morning early, so as to give me time to get to the field for the third days battle. And all this after having been on a strain of exertion and ex- citement since daylight; and then the gentle man at ease in London reads it all ia his arm chair after breakfast for penny, or. at the most, twopence half-psuny.

Washington correspondent of the Phila- delphia Times makes the ch,rge against the official portion of the marine corps that it is an exclusive organization without parallel in any monarchy in Europe. The marine officer is said to be selected only after pass ing satisfactory examination upon the fol- lowing points: Social connections, birth,
 figure, ability as dancer, evidence that he has never served in the ranks or performed other labor of degrading sort An old sergeant of marines, to whom it was suggest ed that he should have some epaulettes, re- piled that there hadn't been promotion from the ranks in the marine corps for twenty-five years. The correspondent con- tinues: '"ralking of names and glancing over the corps I see those of Washburne, Wells, Marston, McCawley, Nicholson, Goodloe,
 Meade, Schenck, Butler, Wallace, Reid, Por- ter, Wallach, Gulick, Riddle, Logan, Quack- erbush, Lowry and long list of the sons and nephews of army and navy officers and of Senators and high officials. I will not say they are degenerate sons of distinguished sires, because some of them are doubtless worthy descendants of their ancestors; but there are good many worthless fellows in

HECKER'S
PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier.
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, ,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, 1t having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cu1G than either the "RoyaI'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 1tW will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ica1ly expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

The committee appointed by the Presby- terian General Assembly to consider the h. dian question yesterday presented their me- morial to the Senate committee on Indian affairs, President Arthur and Secretary Kirk wood. The memorial is headed ''A Memorial on Indian Rights, Indian Education and In- dian Homes" The memorialists (among whom are William E. Dodge, Rev. Drs. John Hall, Howard Crosby, Byron Sunderland and William Strong, Capt. R. H. Pratt and Stephen R. Riggs) ask for the Indian the pro- lection of law, as an individual, the guaran- ty of a home and means of sustaining him self by the proceeds of his own labor, and the benefits of education. They ask for ib- eral provisions for day and boarding schools on the reservations, for an appropriation of $1, 500. GOO year, to meet the absolute obli- gations of the treaties of 1868, which have never been fulfilled and another $1, 300, ,O0O for those Indians with whom we have no such treaties. They urge also the passage of Ca good land -in-severalty law" In fine, they sum up: 'sFor Indians, we want American education; we want American homes we want American rights the result of which is American citizenship"

Since 161O, 523 theatres have been burnt
 down in the Old and New World, 460 disas- ters of this kind having taken plaoe within 1 the last hundred years while from 1871 to 1 1878 the average rate was 13 theatres per an- nun. In the list of localities, London, with 31, is at the head; Paris, with %, follows next the youthful city of New York has 26, and the yet younger San Francisco 21. Bar num's Theatre, in the Empire city, has been burnt down no less than five times; while Astley's, in London and the Grand Opera, in Paris, have each been destroyed four times. Her Majesty's Drury Lane and Co., vent Garden have been thrice laid waste by fre while numerous London theatres can boast of double confagrations, the oldest in the list being the Globe on Bankside, which was burned down A. D. 1913. Though the Vienna disaster, with some eight or nine hundred lives to it's score, ranks first for fs- tality, there have been several very nearly as bad When Lehmanns Theatre, in St. Petersburg was destroyed 1836), between six and seven hundred lives were sacrificed though the official accounts returned but half that number; the Carlsruhe Court Theatre 1S47), with about two hundred victims, the Brooklyn (1S76), with nearly three hundred, and the Nice catastrophe, come next.
 School teachers all over the country seem to be impressed with the desirability of changes in the prevalent systems of public school education. At the recent meeting of the California Teachers Association one speaker declared that the great aim of teach CTS seemed to be to cultivate rapidity in con- mitting and glibness in recitation. The smart boy of the school, he continued, who bolts his daily meals of knowledge, is pam pered and fattered, while the pledding boy, who takes time to masticate his, is twitted for his slowness, and is happy if he escapes cuffs for his stupidity. In our methods of teaching there is too much of the mechanl- cal. automatic and formal Dead, formal teachers make ifeless pupils, ifeless reeita- tions and ifeless schools. Why the bright boys so rarely illuminate the world after leaving school was a query which the speak CT answered thus: ''These school room peniuses have obtained 8 scholastic educa- ton without obtaining what it should be the aim to give, namely, the ability to think their own thoughts and readiness to apply their knowledge" The speaker concluded by say ing that the most pernicious feature of me- chanical pedagogy is a tendency to rely on approved methods and systems of instruc- ton to the exclusion of vital and individual effort.

Last summer careful canvass of the at tendance at some of the London churches was made, and the result showed an enor- nous disproportion between attendance and seating capacity. Many large churches had no more than 50 or D worshippers, and some had even fewer than 50. Since that time a | similar canvass has been made in some of the smaller English towns, and the result is remarkably different. In the provinces the attendance seems to bear a very respectable relation to the seating capacity. Thus, Liverpool can seat 179, 196 persons, and she had present 146, ,256; Warrington, with II, . 05O seats. had 12, 476 of them filled; Glou- cester, with 10000, had 1S,395 Barnsley, with 7,S15, had 6. 704, while Leicester, Bath, Northampton and Ipswich sent more people to church than there were seats for, some of them 1000 to 1000 more. About thirty years ago similar statistics were collected in England, and general outburst of religious activity was the consequence.

Ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia, recently said in regard to the probable future of po- itical issues in the South: ''We in the South are in the midst of political chaos, and when we emerge from it the large majority of our people will be found united in favor of mate rial issues-abolition of all direct taxes free coinage and hard money; protection for American industry and capital on land and sea; national appropriations for public i'm provements and free education, while the minority will cling to sentimental theories. So far the National Republican party is in advance on these coming issues, and if that party maintains the advance it will become the majority party of the South. If it hesi- tates or falters new party on these issues will rise and usurp it's place.

"A passenger on q train from New
York to Washington, the other night,
says he was wakened by crash, which
was followed by noise like thunder
storm. He opened the door of the stats-
room in the rear and the steam rushed
in, and in order to prevent being smoth-
cred, shut it again. About that time
they began to make out that the state
room was occupied by locomotive, or
as much of it as could be accommodate
ed, and that her steam chest was dis
charging its contents into the car. 1t
was close shave for him; the boiler
was within six feet of his head. There
was party of four men in the state
room when he went to bed. They were
in bed when he retired, and they did
not come out after the engine struck the
car. If they didn't get out before they
must have been smothered. They
couldn't breathe in that steam q minute
and live. He couldn't find out anything
about them. The railroad people are
very reticent.

Marsh hay and straw differ from the
best hay in being deficient in heterogeneous
matters, starch, sugar, and fat, and in
having more indigestible, woody fibre.
If sufficient quantity Of wheat bran,
ground oats, and corn or cotton-seed-
meal is added to these coarse folders,
this addition increases the amount of
heterogeneous matter, and starch. sugar,
and fat, (Which are all carbohydrates,
that is, are formed of carbon and hydro
gen) and renders them quite equal to the
best of hay. 1t is by mixing such con-
centrated foods as these with hay that
we are able to enlarge the product OF
milk, butter, flesh or fat of our animals,
and little larger admixture will make
even coarse, marsh hay or straw equally
productive. Che knowledge of the ex-
act compositions of feeding substances
and the precise methods of mingling
them to gain the best results constitutes
the science and scientific practice of feed
ing. And this knowledge is one OF the
most important a farmer can possess.

Iowa, saw the first train ever drawn by
. locomotive. It was between Darling
ton and Stockton, England, and George
Stephenson drove the engine. ]. w.
Otley, Of Perry, Iowa, also saw this first
train. Mr.. Otley writes: 81 will 60
further by stating that 1 was present at
the opening of the first railway (the
Stockton and Darlington). which was
before the advent of steam for the pur-
pose of locomotion, and when four
wedge-shaped cars constituted freight
train, and one coach, similar to the old
English stage, passenger train. These
trains were moved by one horse and
driver, and in this manner started for
school in the days agone."

Rather Enthusisstic.

The Wilmington Oel.) Dolly Repsoiean
lately contained the following item of popular
interest: DR.. j. F. Speck, who is connected
with the Wilmington Every Evening, speaks
rather enthusiastically of St. Jacobs Oh. Dr..
Speck states that he uses the Oh in his family
g household remedy, . sort Of universal
panacea for al aches and pains, and has al
ways found it to act most happily. His atten-
ton was called to it by the many testimonials
in its favor, and he one day used 1t upon him
self for sore throat. Two applications were
sufficient to effect cure. He also used It on
his little girl for sore throat with gratifying
success. The same child had scarlet fever this
winter which left the tendons of one leg much
contracted. The little prattler couldn't walk
without assistance and suffered much incon-
venience and pain. Several applications Of
st. Jacobs Oil restored her limb to its normal
condition and she has not experienced any
trouble since. DR.. Speck states that he has
also seen the on act charmingly in toothache.
He thinks st. Jacobs Oil is sterling remedy,
and does not hesitate to recommend It for
rheumatism. etc.
