puRrNe TIE REBELLION.
How Northern Heroes and Southern Beau

How Northern Heroes and Southern Beau
ties Net In the War.
The sequel of the fatal love affair of
a federal prisoner named Capt. Raph-
ael Livingston, who was a prisoner in
n of the confederate prisons at Sails
bury, N. c., during the late war, has
Just come to light. During the last
year of war Livingston, through the aid
of a pretty girl, managed to effect his
escape. He was given shelter by his
fair friend and remained in his hiding
place for a day and night. Fearing
capture by the confederate prison au-
thorities, the escaped soldier made his
way on foot through the mountains in
the western part of the state. After
many trials and much suffering he
reached Wilkes county, one of the re-
mote counties of hat section. Then he
was lucky enough to meet Miss Rose
Austin, who interested herself in him
and assisted him in eluding the con-
federate officers in her neighborhood.
The handsome young captain made a
deep impression upon Miss Austin and
a mutual understanding and an en-
gagement of marriage was the result.
Miss Austin managed to render
such assistance to her lover that
he got through the southern lines and
made his way to his home in New York.
In 1867, two years after the close of the
war, Livingston returned to Wilkes
county to claim his bride. During the
intervening years Charles Bird, ayoung
farmer in the neighborhood and an old
admirer of Miss Austin. had come be-
tween them and gained the girls affec-
tions. Soon after the young captains
temperance in Wilkes he one day
suddenly disappeared without leaving
any clue to his whereabouts. Bird and
Miss Austin were soon afterward mar
ried, and the romano of the federal of
ficer passed out of the minds OF the
Wilkes county people. 1t was revived
Wednesday night by a quarrel between
Bird and his wife, in which the latter
informed of the neighbors that Bird
and two other men shot and killed
Livingston and buried his body in a
piece of woods. A negro, who is al
legged to have participated, corroborated
the wife's story. All of the accused
men were arrested and committed to
Jail in Wilkes county to await an examin-
alton upon the charge. The case at
tracts intense interest in that section
where all are known, and where the
missing federal officer was a great
f~avorite during his brief and it now APP
pears fatal visit. Mrs. Bird is now
about "a, and is still quite pretty an6
of good family connections.

pretend to include all which might be
comprised in the list.
A wholesome cellar IS at the bottom
of healthy living. One reason is that
the air and floating germs of the cellar
find their wayto every room in the house.
Many Of our most destructive diseases
are supposed to be caused by minute
germs floating in the air and finding
lodgment and congenial home in the
animal system, their development caus-
ing disease. Widowed cellars and
mouldy closets are nurseries of disease.
Even in their dry form the spores Of
these low forms of life often cause
serious sickness. The worst attact Of
catarrh l ever had was caused by in
haling the dust arising from overhaul
ing a pile of mouldy rubbish.

Sheen for Mutton.

The profit from sheep should be made
as large as possible, and the addition of
a few more pounds of wool to the clip
will not compensate for the lack of size
and quality in the carcass. In England
they find the profit in mutton so great
as to make sheep a necessary adjunct to
the farm, which would not be the case if
they bred for wool. With the increase
of population of this country comes a
greater demand for good mutton, fol-
we have but little of it, and that demand
is sure to increase. As it increases, the
field for breeding sheep is also widened,
and if we are to compete with Australia
and demand a tariff TO protect us we will
at least be safe and sure against foreign
competition in the mutton supply. OF
course we find mutton in our markets,
but such meat could not be easily sold
in England. The usual flocks that
come to our markets are very inferior.
The people are anxious for mutton
good mutton-and it will be profitable
to the one who sends it to market

Statesmen and shoemakers.

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Fair was in a Broadway shoe
makers shop one afternoon this week.
He has q small foot for one of his size,
and so intent are shoemakers on making
this look still smaller that they general
ly make a misfit, andto get an easy shoe
appears to be the Senator's greatest
trouble. Said the Senotor to the obse-
quious Crispin, as the latter was taking
the statesman's measure for q pair of
boots:
"The other pair you made me were
too tight; l don't want my little toe
wedged under theIothers. Make the shoe
wide and give the toes full scope; the
tariff is not very high on leather, is it?
Now you are drawing that line too
blanked tight across the instep."
At this point the young woman who
fits the LADIES frowned at the bonanza
king, and walked to the window to see
the dudes coming from the m~atinees.
"Let me give You a pointer on having
your measure taken, senator" said q
fresh young disciple from the west,
who accompanied Mr.. Fair. always
wear two pair of socks when you leave
your measure. The shoemaker's pride
and glory is to make the boot fit like a
kid glove, and he draws the line as tight
as a corner on stocks; but the two pairs
of socks give the boot plenty of margin,
and then it will fit you neatly with NJ
pair"
"That's a good point; but I didn't
happen to have two pair" replied the
man of twenty millions. "Wheie's the
young man who made me this pair
that Young fellow who talked like he
owned the shop? L thought h was
the boss. Dead, is he? Well; no mat
ter. If you make these too tight, I'll
be blanked if l don't send them back to
you, and let you sell them to some
poor devil who can wear them. How
much?-$15. Well, here it is. Send
them over to Washington. But try
and not make them so BANKED tight
this time" And the senator walked
out by the deeply distracted young
| woman, while the shoemaker meditated
over the measure.

Three ways of RISING Rhubarb.

Delicious rhubarb jam-To six pounds
of rhubarb add six pounds of lump sugar
and six large lemons; cut the rhubarb
into small pieces about the size Of a
walnut; then the lemons should be
sliced and the peel cut very fine. Put
the fruit taking out the pips from the
lemons) all into a large bowl, cover it
with the sugaE broken small; let it
stand twenty-fbur hours, after which
boil it slowly for about three-quarters
of an hour, taking care it does not stick
to the pan, also not to stir much so as
to break the pieces of rhubarb, as the
beauty of it is in being whole. Rhu-
barb mould for essert-Take one quart
of red rhubarb ami cut it in pieces; put
it in a saucepan with a lid, and let it
boil till quite a pulp; melt one-half
of gelatine in hot water; when
dissolved put it with one pound of pow
gered white sugar to the rhubarb, and
boil for fifteen minutes; add afew drops
lemon juice; pour the rhubarb into a
mould. Next day dip the mould in hot
water, turn out into o glass dish, pour
round it some custard made as follows

milk, four Jumps of sugar; simmer till
thick; add a few drops of essence of va
nilla. Rhubarb ielly-Take some rhu-
barb, wipe it with a clean wet cloth,
peel it, and c1t it into pieces an inch
long. To each pound of rhubarb add
three-fourths pound of white sugar.
Put it to boil for about ten minutes, or
until the juice is well drawn. Strain it
into a preserving-pan, let it boil quick
ly until il clings to the spoon, skim it,
and put it into jam pots or moulds.
The quickest way to know if it
will set is to drop a little on to a plate to
cool.

Dairy Hints,

Some milk producers object to tur-
nips and other roots as a ration for dali
ry COWS on the ground that they faint
the butter. This is true, if fed in large
quantities. But these same men will
allow their COWS to drink all summer
out of filthy, slow-running brooks or
muddy sloughs, or clay-laden streams.
No one likes a turnip flavor in butter,
but it is not as bad as that of the stable
or of a foul brook. As 81 per cent of
milk is water, and that no water is TAX
en- into the system of the COW with her
food and drink, it is apparent that pure
drinking water is as desirable as good
food. . Next to plenty of good pasturage
during the next three months is plenty
of pure fresh watsr, and every dairy
farmer who has no spring which sup
plies his pasture should provide a well,
and if possible a windmill, if the we'll
is deep. 1t is not advisable to give
grain during the flush grass period, but
as soon as drought and dry pastures be-
gin to lessen the flow of milk, supply
fodder corn or grain. The flow of milk
once lost is not easily restored. 1t is
generally understood that if turnips are
fed only directly after or soon after dur
ing the milking, they will little affect
the flavor of the next milking. Beets
seldom affect the milk except ~favorably.

Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.
household Scraps.

Hold the finger in very cold water 70
remove a close ring.
To purify the air of the cellar the fol-
lowing is recommended by a German
writer: "Put some roll birthstone into
a pan, set fire to it, close the doors and
windows as tight as possible for two or
three hours; repeat this inexpensive
operation every three months"
Kid shoes may be kept soft and free
from cracks by rubbing them ones a
week with a little pure glycerine or
castor oil.
Experience proves that earthen dishes
will crack when placed upon a hot stove,
yet many cooks persist in using the
stove for a table.
Good sized feet usually accompany
we'll developed bodies, and the woman
who has sense enough to wear a shoe
suited to the foot has sense enough for
other concerns of importance.
Unalterable Paste. Take one table,
spoonful of -four, add gradually one
pint of cold water; boil slowly and stir
well to prevent burning until it thickens
keep boiling till it becomes thin, add
one t~easpoonful of nitro-muriatic acid,
and boil till it again thickens, when it is
ready for use. This paste is harmless,

Notwithstanding American.
Sir James Paget and other English
medical authorities are pointing out the
great Importance of not over feeding in
fants with starchy food, such as bread,
~farina, Cruel, etc, as the warm season
approaches. They claim that such over
feeding is a fruitful cause of the large
infant mortality in warm weather. The
n article, it is urged, most necessary
to the life of the child at all times is

Cutting Timothy.

New York Herald.-The following
method is that of an educated Indiana
farmer: Timothy unquestionably makes
much the best hay for all classes OF
stock when well cured, which is more
easily accomplished than with any other
grass, but which is not always done by
any means; and yet is as worthless as
need be when cut at an unreasonable
time or handled in an uninteIligent
manner. MY rule for cutting timothy
is, when it is in its very best state, if
possible, and that is when the major
part of the field is in bloom. Some of
the seeds were then in milk, and most
of them perhaps, before | was through,
for 1 never cut my grass, wet or dry,
before l was ready, as some do. But
my rule is to begin the first fair day
after l think the gluten, starch and
sugar are most abundant in the stalks
and leaves, and hurry on the work as fast
as possible during the dry weather, and
while there is plenty of sunshine. l
neve cut grass for hay when it is wet
from much dew or even a very little
rain. Only a careful observation of
the weather Is needed generally to Sc
cure the cIop in good condition. Dur
ing the summer season two or three
days of cloudy or rainy weather usually
followed by about tina same number OF
good, or fairly good, hay-curing wealth
er, alternating in that ann through
the season, except in seasons of severe
drought or excessiue rains. Inever pay
attention to the signs in the moon OF
the weather prophets. I nee bought
a barometer, but it was too slow and
uncertain in coming to conclusions to
suit me. They are poor property for
the average farmer, and scarcely as re-
liable as the rheumatic is. All things
being ready and the weather favorable,
/ start the mower as oon as the dew is
off in the morning and push it for all
that is in it for five or six hours, if the
weather continues favorable, or until
the rake starts, which must be in time
to take up all that is cut, with men fol.
lowing the windrows with forks, cock
ing up III good shape as fast as raked,
leaving no uncocked hay at shutdown in
tha meadow.

More Sunlight and Air Needed for Health
and Comfort.

One cause OF the extreme
ness of American women is living too
much in the darkness when indoors,
says the Herald of Health. The rooms
are kept dark to save the carpets and
keep out the flies, and as a consequence
both The house and the occupants lack
the benefits of fresh air and sunshine.
Houses from which the sun is excluded
are not wholesome. There is always a
damp, depressing condition in them that
makes itself evident at once to a SEN
sitive temperament. The minds and
bodies of all who live in such houses are
affected by it. Both health and spirits
are depressed. Their occupants have
not only the depressing effects of the
lack of light and sun to contend against,
but the reaction consequent upon living
in unwholesome conditions. All the
rooms in the house should have both
light and sunshine freely admitted at all
times, whether they r in daily use or
not. They are thus kept sweet, and are
in good condition when they are wanted.
Nelson Sizer once said, when making
a chronological examination: b as
much as possible in the sunshine. Peo-
pie who live in dark rooms and wear
black are pale all through" You can
not have too much of light either in
your lives or in your houses, for good
health. You may live; but it is not all
of life to live. Merely TO exist is but a
small part of our work in this world.
We should so live that body and mind
are at all times in their best condition
We are then ready and able to do what
ever duty may be required of us in such
a way that the doing merely shall be
pleasurable, and the reaction on our
selves and others beneficial. 1t should
be, in fact, the religious duty of every
one so to live.
. Many a woman and child have been
sacrificed to save the carpets and keep
out the flies. Many a fit of illness has
resulted from the same cause. Many q
disappointed, cherries life can be
traced back to sunless rooms as a be-
ginning. Multitudes of women and
children are only half living to-day be-
cause only half-fed. Sunshine and
light and air are as much food for body
and soul as the fruits and grains and
vegetables that we take into Il stom
achs; and we cannot get a surfeit OF
them as food. The more we have the
better.

Just Heard of It.

Occasionally In the interior states,
v to this day, somewhere in the
mountains an old recluse is stumbled
upon who never heard of the Civil War
or of Abraham Lincoln. Such anus
ing ignorance in the ''rural counties"
is perhaps still more common in other
lands than our own. An artist in a
sketching campaign around Loeb Arve,
in Scotland, was visited at his head
quarters on the Island of Inishail by a
good old hermit, whose information
about modern progress and modern in
ventions came "too subsequent" to do
him much good. It only left him dumb
with perplexity. What little news had
reached him had prompted his curiosity
enough to ask questions, but he was not
prepared for the complete facts.
'"They're sayin', sir" (says old Dun
can to the artist, that Lannon's IN aw-

The Dazea Miner.

It is difficult for one who has been
Graded in wealth to conceive of the
mental and moral shock givent to a poor
man by the sudden acquisition of riches.
The almost instantaneous transition
from the struggle to keep the wolf from
the door, to a life which is free from
both labor and care, dazes him. He be-
comes as eccentric in his actions as M
who dreams is in his thoughts.
A correspondent Of a English paper,
writing from Australia, illustrates this
fact by the following story:
A friend Of mine came into Sydney q
month ago who had struck a fortune in
the mines, and from being a poor miser-
able tramp with just enough money to
keep him from starving, he had become
the owner of thousands of pounds in
ready gold.
He rushed into the first store he hap
pened to see, which was adrug-store.
"Just let me have a hundred dollars
worth of those bottles there, will you?
he shouted to the proprietor.
Certainly" replied the polite drug
gist. "What kind of drugs do you
want?"
Drugs! 1 don't want your drugsl
just send couple shelves full of those
bottles up to the Hotel-to me. Tom
Randall. Here's your pay" and he
threw a handful of gold on the counter,
and rushed out, and into the next store,
which was hardware.
SIS that a good stove?" said he, kick
ing the nearest one.
Eyes sir, " said the hardware man COM
ing forward, smiling, ''that stove
will -
'Never mind what it II do. Just send
it up to Hotel-to Tom Randall, will
you? How much is it? Never mind the
changed" and he had paid for it, and was
gone, before the store-keeper had recov-
cred from his wonder.
He then went into a dozen differ
ent stores, ordering countless things
which happened to strike his fancy or
please his whim, and, at last, returned to
his hotel.
l found him there two hours later, sit
ting on the edge of a trunk surrounded
by his different purchases, which with
the promptness of the Sydney trades
men had been sent according to his
order.
MY friend sat with his face in his
hands as / came in, and did not stir.
Finally, the tears began to trickle
through his fingers, and at last he looked
up at me with a comical smile.
dob" said, he cts the first time 1
ever had any money in my life. just
think! Here l am q rich man? Why
1 had to do something to prove it tony
self. 1 should have gone crazy if l
hadn't" Then after a pause, he added,
"And I've proved it pretty well, I guess"
With a pensive air he glanced over the
room, and for the first time seemed to
take in it's contents.
Then he burst into a laugh in which l
joined. From laughing he passed into
crying, then quieted down, and asked
me to help him dispose of his numerous
purchases.
Most of them were sent to his old
comrades in the mines, and a week
after, he sailed for America. But / be-
lieve those absurd purchases were the
indirect means of preserving his reason
at the critical period of his life.

Death of A. q. Mckenzie.

Monday night A. G. Mckenzie,
Superintendent of the Mount Cory
mine near Hawthorne, Esmeralda
county, died after very brief illness,
of meningitis. He had been under
q severe mental strain for some time
which had so affected his nervous
system that it was easily broken
down. He was buried al Virginia
City, where he was well known, by
the Masonic fraternity of which he
was a member. His funeral was
largely attended by friends from all
parts of the state, among whom were
many Dayton people.
