that the waters of the Mississippi
river had risen to the high water
mark of IA at New Orleans, which
is the highest known in the flood
annals of the river, and are rising
between st. Louis and New Orleans
at the rate of 2 or 8 inches q day !;
that an appalling calamity by the
overflow of . city of 300. 600 souls
is imminent. involving great loss
of life ard property. and appro-
priating $500 900 to be Immediately
available to be expended at the
discretion of the Secretary of War
in preventing the overflow of the
city of New Orleans and the coun-
try adjacent thereto. There was
nothing between the city of New
Orleans and q river 16 feet above
the level of the city but dirt wall.
The calamity that must ensue if
the waters rose higher could not be
depicted by the human tongue. 1t
would be the calamity of the age.
The House rejected the resolution,

Only taIlor's eye, remarks writer
i'll the New York Tribune, could see
any difference between the coming fall
and the past spring styles. The most
marked change in cut will be the al
most imperceptible widening of the
trousers. This loosening, however,
will not extend to the other garments.
The coat will be tight and moulded to
the figure, with the sleeves tight
enough not to interfere with the com
fort of the wearer. AS To style, the
four button cutaway, with rather long
tails and no outside pockets, save that
in the breast, still holds the lead. All
materials will be made up in this fash
ion. For the double breasted trock
coat black diagonal is the only cloth
that is good form to wear. As to goods
nothing loud will be tolerated. CASH
mercs and small checks. with slight
increase perhaps in the size of the lat
ter, are to he the mainstay the color
ing in all cases dark and running prin-
cipally in the browns and gravs.
In the fall silk hat the bell of the
crown has almost disappeared, and the
crown itself is Il tritle higher The
wide, flat brim has changed into IA mar
row. excessively rolled one, and the
same changes rs tn brim, with the
necessary notifications, appear in the
stiff felt or Derby hat. In the latter
brown and black are to he the only
permissible colors, preferable the lat
ter. Collars are still high, but the
corners are bent ut an angle of 450,
about half an inch from the top.
Neckties are quiet in color and free
from all extravaganza in shape, the
folded scarf with an unassuming
breast-pin still holds its place. Gloves
will be worn more generally at balls,
receptions, the opera, etc. Shoes are
becoming more rounded mt the toes.
In short, notable lack of extrava-
gance in form and color will be the
characteristic of mems fashions this

How the q. A. X. was Organ
IZcd.


The story of the organization of the
Grand Army of the Republic, as told
by Capt. Alexander Compiler, company
ID, I0lst Pennsylvania volunteers, may
not be new to all, yet, but few have
heard it as he tells it, says Pittshurg
Dispatch gossiper:
Capt. Compiler and his company
were taken prisoners in Plymouth,
n. c., April 2, 1864, and removed to
Andersonville, where the privates
were placed in the stockades and the
officers sent to Macon, Ga, and placed
in Camp OglethOrpe, a stockade which
had just been finished. The fall of
Atlanta necessitated their removal
from there, and they were shifted from
place to place until they landed at Co
lunbia, S. G. While on the march
from the depot to the camp at COlum-
bia, Capt. II. S. Benner of the I0lst
regiment secured the recognition of
two fellow Masons. who slipped him
pair of shoes and some provisions.

War Against the Sparrows.

The members of the American Or
astrological society evidently have
never heard of the disastrous conse-
quences which resulted to many farm
ers in various parts of Scotland from
their persistent efforts to eXterminate
the rOok and pigeon from their lands.
They formed a society having that OBJ
ject. and paid IL good figure for each
head produced. Besides the sport,
killing the poor rocks and pigeons
formed good livelihood to many fond
of shot, and so before many wears a
roOk or pigeon was "a sight good for
sore eyes" Even the farmers delighted
more to see them alive than dead, for
experience had taught them a bitter
lesson. No doubt the rocks and pig
cons did considerable damage to the
crops, but then the grub was found
when left unmolested to destroy the
crops altogether. Like many another
blessing, that conferred by the rook
and pigeon upon the farmer was not
realized until it was lost. Then of
nothing was the farmer more con-
vinced than that between the two
evils of grub and rOOk the latter was
the least, and indeed when weighed in
the balance it was great blessing in
disguise.
The American ornithologists should
have learned and pondercd over that
lesson before declaring the imported
British sparrow here Il pest and mis-
ance, and calling on all the powers
that be to eXterminate him. No doubt
the sparrow is by nature IL tyrannical
little despot, drives away all the other
little birds, and keeps the good things
to himself. Among these good things,
too, are considerable quantity of
fruit and grain. That loss is soon
.reckoned up, but who has ever calcu-
lated the gain resulting from the spar
rows Before carrying out their exc
cutiOn some attempt should be made
to calculate the benefit which they are
to the nation, and until this is done
reprieve should be granted them, in
case the people here might, like the
Scottish farmer, regret their absence.
Some one has estimated that two spar
rows can and do remove 1000 caterpil
lars per week. That forms basis to
go upon. But for the sparrOws how
soon would every green thing he eaten
up by caterpillars Even at the very
worst the sparrow always leaves some
thing behind, but the caterpillar leaves
nothing whatever. Probably the wis
est resolution will be not to eXtinguish
the sparrow altogether, but simply to
prevent his multiplying undnly.-

VOLUME 48---NUMBER 2465

The shoes being too small for him. he
gave them to Capt. Compiler, who in
turn sold them for $50 confederate
money. With this money he bought
an axe, and not an extra one either,
but as good rs could be got for that
amount of money.
The first thing he did with the axe
was to slip out on two separate nights
and kill a bloodhound each time, thus
making escape that much easier. After
the dogs We're killed the prisoners
were taken out to the insane asylum.
1t was here that McKage, assisted 10y
two other prisoners, composed the
song. "Sherman's March to the Sea-"
A Miss BlOunt of Columbia kept the
prisoners posted as to Sherman's move
ments, but the first that was known of
his arrival at Columbia was an order
to run the prisoners to Charlotte, n. c.,
without delay.
While camping in cotton field,
Captain Compiler amused himself 10y
cutting down a small maple tree with
his $50 axe. Sitting on the stump he
called Il number of men around him by
yelling "fresh fish" When the tumult
caused by the false alarm of fresh fish
had died down, he proposed that they
form the organization of old soldiers
they had been talking about during
their captivity.
Capt. Compiler was made chairman
of the meeting, and Maj. ID. w. Mullin
of the lOIst regiment, and now resi-
dent of Bedford, was secretary. A
committee prepared constitution
substantially the same rs that of the
6. A. r., which was signed 10y all the
soldiers present, there being represen-
tatiVes from each state in the Union
except South Carolina. The paper
was signed in the latter part of Febru-
airy, 1865. They held regular meetings
until the close of the war, by which
time they had So perfected the organiza-
tiOn that every member was prepared
to establish IL lodge wherever he went.
In the fall of 1865, Capt. Compiler
went to Blair county, where, with
Capt. McKage and Capt. Huff, a meet
ing was arranged. About 80 soldiers
were present, all of whom joined the
which was then called the
Grand Army of the Republic.
Capt. Alex Compiler is now "A resi-
dent of Nebraska, having moved there
from Bedford some time after the war.
This interesting sketch of the forma-
ton of the G.. A. X. was given at
of ex-prisOners of war, held at
Bedford last spring, which was at
tended by Capt. Compiler and others
who figured in the organization of the

How 10 Make Lime Water.

The hOusckeeper should never be
without a bottle of lime water. 70
have it always ready and in good or
der, with little expense, place in tall
quart bottle of any kind Il gill or 80 of
good lime just Stacked with water
Then fill the bottle with rain or other
pure water, and allow it to stand
quietly, well corked. The lime will
settle, leaving clear lime water at the
top. Pour this off gently, as wanted,
adding more water as needed. Lime
water, even when closely corked, often
deteriorates the carbOnic acid in the
air unites with the lime and settles as
an insoluble carbonate on the sides OF
the bottle, which it is nearly impOssi-
BILE to remove. This will spoil the
bottle for any other use. Therefore
select one from the storerOom which is
not valued, but which has good tight
cover. A wide mOuthed bottle is pref.
erable. The lime should be removed
and fresh put in once IL year or SO, un
less kept very tightly cOrked. A pint
of cold water dissOlves less than ten
grains of lime, and warm water still
less. The uses lime water may be put
to are innumerable. If good milk dis
agrees with child or grown person,
three or four tablespOOnfuls of lime
water added to pint of it will usually y
help digestion and prevent hatulence F.;
it also counteracts pain from wind III
the stomach caused by eating acid
fruits. Over-eating of candies and
other sweets will sometimes cause
acidity, for which this is sovereign
remedy. A tablespoonful for a child
of two years old to gill or more for
an adult is an ordinary dose, while
considerable will have no lad results
in fact, it is a simple anti-acid and
] slightly tonic. A small quantity put
