Of baby in its mothers arms While

were marching by night through vii
lage over whose gatcways hung lighted
lanterns, while young girls shed tears
as they watched the brothers of other
women marched on to possible death
A scene of the march is thus described
bv the author OF Bullet and Shell .
Stopping for moment at the gate OF Il
dwelling, ! noticed young mother lean
ing over il with chubby child in her
arms Above the womans head swung a
couple of stable lanterns, with their light
upon her face. The child was growing
with delight at the strange pageant, az
it watched the rmed host pass on y !

Manners, one Of my men, as he dropped
the butt of his musket ON the ground
and peered wisliully into the faces of
the mother and her child. II BEG par
don, but may kiss that baby of yours
I've got one ust like him at home, at
least when last saw him, two years
ago" The mother sympathetic tear
rolling down her blooming cheek, silent.
ly held out the child. jim pressd his
unshayen face to its innocent, smiling
lips for a moment, and then walked on,
saying: God bless you, Ma'am, for

Eloouenoe Of Albert Pike.

The presence of Gen Albert Pike in
this city recalls to the mind of the
writer high, and certainly peculiar
and original, compliment once paid him
by one who was at the time young
man.
In 1856 a Wing mass meeting was
held in Lafayette Square, at which he
Pike and Charlie Dreux were the
speakers. At the time Dreux was
called the "Henry Clay, of Louisiana"
because of his eloquence, and for two
or three days prior to the meeting it
was question Of wagers and discus
sion as to which of them would make
the most powerful or eloquent speech.
After the speeches were delivered, and
the meeting over, two friends were
walking homeward, when one asked
the other, "How did you like the
speeches, and which do you think the
best speaker ?" The answer was
"Well, I'll tell you, to listen to Dreux
is like walking in garden filed with
beautiful flowers in full bloom; to hear
Pike is like wandering in a forest oI
magnificent, deep rooted, storm. defying
trees. '-Neo orleans city Item.

THE MYSTERY OF LINCoLN's TOMB.
There is mystery surrounding the
tomb of Abraham Lincoln. Several
years ago an attempt was made by
grave robbers to steal the body
Elmer Waslburn was chief of the
secret service at the time He put
msn on guard for three weeks, and
one dark night, by the aid of a bulls
eye lantern, the thieves were caught
in the very act Of violating the grave.
The attempt made great sensation.
The grave is not guarded, SO far as
amy human eye can see, yet is pro
tected. Secretary Lincoln said the
other day that he WAS absolutely Ger
tain that the remains of his father
could never be stolen After the first
attempt, sure means of protection
were employed. The secret of this
security is only known to three peo-
pie. When the friends of the late
President Garfield think the guard
over his tomb has been maintained
long enough, Col. Rockwell will be
entrusted with the protection of the
tomb of Abraham Lincoln. Ghicago

The people of Kentucky seem to
be taking an extraordinary interest
in common education, as was evinced
by the educational convention held
iu the House Of Representatives. at
Frankfort, on the 9th instant. There
they met, white and black, regardless
of political affiliation, on common
level and passed resolutions, the effect
of which is, that they regard the gen.
eral diffusion of knowledge as being
paramount to all others.
Instead of asking the General AS
sembly to divide the school fund be-
tween the two races according to The
amount of taxes paid by each, rs was
done in this State they pass resola-
lions asking the Legislature to in
struet their Senators and members IN
Congress to use every honorable effort
to secure national aid, and aver that
they will not discrimiaatr in the use
of the school funds. The following
is one of the resolutions passed:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this convention that the friends Of
popular education should in the com
ing elections in this State support
only known and outspoken friends OF
good schools for all the children of
the Commonwealth.
The people of Kentucky are mov-
ing in the right direction. We in
dulge in the hope that other South

can be no permanent prosperity OF

How Much Wheat Seed Per Acre

Where wheat Is not at all crowded,
in a rich, mellow soil, and the tillerng
is not mpeded, the average number Of
stems for each plant is about sixteen,
Each one produces head or car, con
tanning on an average, under reasonably
favorably conditions, fifty grains. Thus
one grain Yields eight hundred grains.
AT this rate the man who sows two bush
els to the acre, would harvest sixteen
hundred bushels per acre, or else much
Of the seed Is lost. The average yield
OF the country, however is less than iif-
teen bushels per acre, A bushel of wheat
contains, ordinarily, 10000 grains; two
bushels, one million five hundred thOus-
and grains. An acre OF land contains
slightly above six million square inch
es. SO that each plant has four square
inches from which to derive sustenance
Measure that on the ground and see how
small it is. Can you expect the plant
to make a vigorous growth on four
square inches? Can you expect it to
tillor and produce sixteen stems? Can
YOU expect it to mature sixteen full

ment when growing so densely. Some
