AN ANECDOTE OF GENERAL
SHERMAN.

Many good anecdotes Of sherman were
eurren, during the war Some Of them,
he onee said. when they were brought 10
bis notice, had been told Of every general
since Hannibal. Here IS one Of unques.
,ionable authenticity. which shows his
sagaei,y in dealing with the population
Of conquered towns. After he occupied
Memphis, the people KEEP, the churches,
schools. and places Of business closed, 50
that. save for the movements Of the sold
iers. the place looked like a city Of the
dead. He issued an order directing that
the stores and shops should be opened
during business hours, the schools resume
their courses, and the churches hold ,heii
customary services. Among the people
who called a, his headquarters to pro.
ties, agains, this order. or TO ask for ex.
plantations, was the clergyman Of an
Episcopal church, who said ,ha, the nit
ual Of his denomination contained q
prayer for the President which, under
the circumstances, embarrassed him.
"whOm dc you regard as your Presi'
dents - asked sherman blun,ly. 1--WE
look upon Mr.. Davis as our President
replied the minister. ''Very well pray
for JEFF Davis II you wish. He needs
your prayers badly. |, will take a grea,
deal Of praying to save him." Then
will no, be compelled to pray for Mr.
Lincoln ?" "Oh, no. He's a good man
and don't need your prayers. You may
pray for him il you feel like it, bu, there's
no compulsion," answered Sherman, in
s,antly diving that the worthy clergyman
wanted to pose as a martyr before his
Pensioners. and had hoped that he
would be ordered to use the prayer for
the President Of the United States. The
mex, Sunday the prescribed prayer was
so modified by the preacher as to leave
out all mention Of the President, and to
refer only to "sll in authority. "-E. Y.

THE RHYMER OF MERRyMEET'
ING BAY.

There used TO be considerable lumber
business done on Merrymeeting Bay, says
the Bath Times. aud there lived a noted
character on the Bay Shore, named-say
Johnny Jones'. who was noted for the
handy way in which he could make a
rhyme. lie used TO steal logs from a
certain man who was justice Of the peace,
and cut them up into shingles. His ar
rest was caused, and he was convicted
and bail was wanted for his appearance
at higher court. but he couldn't get Il.
so he appealed to the justice 70 go his
bail. III you will make me a rhyme
will said the justice. lie agreed TO,
but said he mus, make il from his boat.
SO he got into the boat and took up his
paddle.
"Now. Johnny, for the rhyme said
the Justice who was afraid he nigh, de-
ceive him. But Johnny was true to his
promise and gave him this n "A'
true as | am in this boat. and you are on
the shore. | have stole forty logs from
you and I'll steal forty more," aud away
he went.
Johnny picked up a canoe one day on
the bay. and pa, il in his boom. A man
named Hunter Of Topsham, heard Of the
find and declared he was going down 10
ge, the canoe. although i, va, no, his.
Johnny heard Of !, and was on the look
on, FOR the enemy's approach. Il was
on a bright ~moonligh, nigh, that Hunter
started TO fulfill his oath. lie unlocked
the boom and proceeded TO the canoe and
stepped into il. Jus, a, that momen,
Johnny stepped cut from some birehes
that grew by the shore, gun in hand, and
spoke as follows: III you get that III
pawn my hat. I'll stand not 10 dispute
you ; | have 90, both powder and good

The canoe Wa no. taken.
They used TO elec, hogrceves a, a town

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.


How to cut potatoes for planting has
oeen subject of continual interest for
discussion in the farmers clubs and the
meetings of the agricultural associations,
and the subject also of no little expert
mcnt; but unfortunately in this connec-
ton as well as others, there is no definite
record of all the conditions prevailing at
the time of the experiments, or of the
cumulative results secured. The sub
iect is an important one, and has within
the last year or two been made a matter
of experiment In Germany Lydeckcr
has directed his attention especially to
the value of the eyes on different parts
of the tuber. and the depth of planting
upon the quantity of the crop. lie tinds
that the end eyes are more prolific than
the side ones; and that better crop is
secured by shallow than by deep plant
ing. Woolny experimental with pota-
toes that were uncut, those cut IN the
direction of the long diameter through
the center. and those cut through the
short diameter, and his crops showed
that uncut potatoes furnish the best seed,
while of the parts of cut potatoes the
pointed ends were more prolific than the
other halves or the tubcrs. lie found
also that the, pointed ends gave larger
tubers than the medium sized whole po-
tatoes. Except to increase the seed,
therefore, it is better, in view of the
quantity and quality of the crop, to
plant whole uncut potatoes. On the
other hand. Forbisch finds that there is
a limit to the weight or)size of the pota-
toes to be used for seed, but he does not
state what tins limit may be. Yet he
finds that the extension of disease in the
crop tends to increase with the increased
size of the seed.

There is prescription in use in Eng
land for the cure of drunkenness, 10y
which thousands are said to have been
enabled to recover themselves. The
recipe came into notoriety by the efforts
of the commander of steamship. lie
had fallen into such habitual drunken
ness that his most earnest efforts to re-
claim himself proved unavailing. At
last he sought the advice of an eminent
physician, which he followed faithfully
for several months, and at the end of that
time he had lost all desire FOR liquor,
although he had been for many years led
captive by most debasng appetite,
The recipe, which he aftcrward pub
lished, and 10y which so many other
drunkards have been assisted to reform,
is us follows; Sulphate of iron, twenty
grains; magnesia, forty grains; pepper
mint, forty-four drachms; spirits of nut
meg, tour drachms. Dose, one table
spoonful twice a day.

Farm and Garden Notes,

Apricot trees may be transplanted at

A large area of the poorer land and of
the hill and mountain country, of no
agricultural value, is fitted for the profit

Lima beans are grown more success

per acre. 1t was grown on land that had
been heavily MANFRED for mangel9 the

Very good results have been obtained
from the application of from six to seven
hundred pounds of gypsum to an acre Of
potatoes. Many farmers prefer to use
that amount in three applications during
the growing season.

EtcmOVing stains from Cotton o
Linen Goods, etc.

Grease spots are best removed by
soaps stains from oil colors, as rule, do
not resist the action of mixture of soap
and caustic potash. If spots of tar or
axle grease are unaffected by soap, they
will usually yield to the solvent action of
benzine Ordinary ether, or of butter,
which may afterward be removed with
soap and water For ink stains, dilute
qucntly be carefully washed out, will
generally be found effcctual. For the
same purpose oXalic acid or salts of sor-
rel hydrogen potassium oXalate) may
also be employed, and that most eco
nomically, in fine powder to be sprinkled
over the stains and mostened with boil
ing water.
The action of these solvents may be
fastened by gently rubbing, or still bet
ter, by placing the stained portion of tie
fabric in contact with metallic tin. If
there is much iron rust to be removed,
Divers tin salt (stannOus chlorideD will
perform the work at less expense than
the oxalic acid compound. Another
solvent for such stains consists of mix
ture of two parts argol with one part
powdered alum.
Bilberry stains usually yield to the
stains of burning sulphur. Stains caused
/ by red wine, white wine, and fruit juices
in general are treated successfully with
| salts of sorrel or with solution of hypo-
chlorite of soda. The latter especially
must be carefully removed when the ends
/ have been attained.
Another well-tried plan, when space is
available, is to spread the stained fabric
on the ground in the open air, smear the
/ spots with soap, and sprinkle ground pot
ash or common salt upon them. Water
is added and replaced when lost by
evaporation. After two or three hours
exposure the whole fabric may be washed
and will be usually freed from its stains
