thing to eat, and the old people had not
murmured. They sat there smoking
corn-eob pipes, acting as though in war
times they must submit to war measures.
But when the red-headed soldier rode by
on the beautiful horse, his canteen and
sabre rattling, and the horse looking so
proud, as though he had been left out of
the war, and was now going in fresh to
put stop to it, the old folks saw the
animal, the old lady said, "Oh, pa, the
Yankees have found Bulbs horse" and
then they both burst out crying.
'Bub, the brave young confederate,
was away with his regiment, and poor
old pa and ma had to sit there and see
his horse go off with the Yankees. The
slim soldier had heart concealed about
his person even then, and he thought of
his old father and mother in Wisconsin,
and he had half mind to take the horse
Duck, notwithstanding the fact that an
other soldier would take him in a holy
minute, but just then the bugle sounded
for the ASSEMBLY" the soldiers yelled
and spurred their horses toward camp,
and the new horse began to prance and
wanted to go along so bad, that the slim
soldier "let him went," and beautiful
race it was. For nearly two years after
that horse was the constant companion
of the slim soldier, who rode him about
ten thousand miles more or less, but
there was hardly day of all those
long marches that he did not think of
the poor old father and mother of the
soldier boy who owned the horse, and of
their tears when they saw the noble ami
NAL go down the lane carrying a Yam
kee, when they would have been so de-
lighted to have seen their own gray
coated soldier on his back. And so it
was, when we opened the letter from the
boy who wanted our autograph, who was
probably unborn when the horse was
taken, we came so near putting the auto
graph on check and sending it to the
old people who smoked the cob pipes
nineteen years ago and wept over the
horse.

THE EDITORS CONSCIENCE.
A War story Told by u Western Editor
[From Peck's Sun.

From Peck's Sun.J
To-day letter came from the business
Office to the editorial desk, and when the
editor opened it and saw the date-llne
''Troy, Alabama" his heart smote him,
and he reached for his check-book, in
stinctively. Then he stopped and read
the letter, and breathed freer when he
found that it was only letter from
boy who wanted the editors autograph.
What could have caused the editors
heart to jump up into his mouth when
he opened that letter from Troy? What
made him reach for his check-book?
Reader, young reader particularly, the
editor once stole horse at Troy, Ala
bama. Do not hold up your hands IN
horror, at the deed, and say you nave
always mistrusted that the bald-headed
man, with the pleasant face, was morse
thief in disguise, for you have never
thought any such thing. Besides
man was not considered horse thlel Ill
those days who took another mans morse.
1t was in 1864, and cavalry regiment
(Which the editor belonged made f''lo
through that portion of Alabama, anu
one afternoon stopped at the beauti1u
little village of Troy. There was thln'
pale, nervous, red-headed soldier III the
regiment who had been riding hard
hearted, deceptive, diabolical, disgusting
mule for week, mule that d1dn care
whether school kept or not, mule that
would not keep up with the procession,
and tried hard to lag behind SO the
rebels would capture the red headed sol
dier. To keep up with the regiment 1t
was necessary to wear out n palf VI
spurs, a clapboard, two fence rails ana
the rider, every blessed day, on the
mule, and much of the hatred OF mules
which the present editor has was born OF
that experience. That evening the sol
der gave of his rations to a little colofed
boy who looked smart, and told him 10
always be a good boy, and learn to read'
would be all right, when the colored poy
told where there was a fine horse III Il
pasture few miles away, "turrer
bred" he said. There is no person ex-
cept one who has ridden a mule week
who can appreciate story about a flne
horse belonging to the enemy. Inc
mule was saddled, and soon the soldier
and the colored boy, and another soldier
and another colored boy, were trying to
catch that horse. o, he was a beauty.
AS he galloped across the pasture and
neighed and snorted and put on scallops,
he looked like picture.
1t was not long before the red-headed
soldiers saddle was on the fine horse
and the procession rode up by the plant
er's house. All, there was the rub. The
old mother and father of the boy who
owned the fine horse, who was in the
confederate army, sat on the veranda.
! They had seen the soldiers go through
the granary, the smoke house, and
| everything where they could get any.

Something About Potatoes.

A farmer writes This is the best
time to select the seed for next years
crops. And as the potatoes are sorted
out for sale the seed should be carefully
chosen. What is the reason that pota-
toes run out? The Early Rose has fol-
lowed the old Peach Blow, as that fol
lowed the Mercer, and every year the
yield decreases. am inclined to think
it is the use of small potatoes for seed.
This is a costly economy. Farmers do
not use the refuse of any other crop for
seed. They choose the best ears of
corn, the best tomatoes, and the finest
wheat and oats, but the poorest pota-
toes. Every year we may read that
some one has made experiments and has
found one one thing and another another
thing; that in one case large potatoes
have given the best yield and in another
small ones yielded just as well. But
deterioration is slow, although a sure,
process, and it may be that, while one
years use of small potatoes does no ap-
parent injury, yet the small tubers
grown from small seed may have the
original defect concentrated in them,
and so year after year the crop may
become as small as the seed. 1t is Ger
tainly safe to use the best seed, and
therefore l would recommend that the
smoothest, best formed, soundest, and
most perfect potatoes be chosen for next
years planting, But these are not
always the largest by any means.
Lime seems to be preventive of rot
in potatoes in a cellar. Some potatoes
that were rotting and were picked out of
heap of 40 or so bushels were put into
a corner and well busted with air-slaked
lime. They stopped rotting at once,
and the decayed parts are now dried up.
There is no disagreeable smell about
them. AS this rot has several charac-
teristics similar to those of corn and
wheat smut, it seems probable that steep
ing the seed of potatoes, as is done with
the corn and wheat, might act as a
remedy. Fortunately, I have little rot,
but L shall try this plan next spring and
dip the sets in a solution of four ounces
of blue vitrol in gallon of water and
then dust them with dry lime.
Another farmer says: With view of
testing their respective merits, I planted
the same day two rows of Burbank pota-
toes by the side of rows of the same
length of Early Rose. Both received
the same attention. The Rose matured
about two weeks earlier; when dug
measured two bushels and three pecks
per row. Burbanks measured three
bushels and one peck, about ten per
cent. better. There was not a single
tuber among the Burbanks that was not
of good size; the Rose yielded many
| too small for use. We had a very wet
summer, and potatoes rOtted somewhat
in the ground before digging; the Bur-
bank worse than the Rose. We consider
the quality of Burbank as good as that
of the Rose no better. A friend who
prefers the Early Ohio to all others gave
me four to test their merits. 1 forgot to
plant them until first week in June.
They matured in six weeks, and were
large, smooth and round. and are equal
to any for the table. They are said to
mature one week earlier than the Rose.
| Their shape is also better, and i'll these
of mine there were no small potatoes.

A Jesse James Nipped in the Bud.

At Toledo. soon after ten o'clock the
other night, as Mr.. James jackson was
crossing street he heard shrill piping
voice exclaim
"Halt there Yer money or yer life!
Mr.. jackson is not a cowardly man,
but such request as that was enough
to send shiver up and down most any
body's backbone, especially as it was
very dark and no help was near.
He stopped, buttoned up his coat,
and made up his mind that he would
give the highwayman good tussle
before he parted with his money, OF
which he happened to have quite a roll.
Then he saw the dim outline of
figure glide from behind tree-box, and
in an instant boy about twelve years
old stood before him, pointing a revolver
at his leg and demanding his money or
his life.
"Who are you. and what do want of
me ?" said the astonished Mr.. J.
"Tm Wild Will, the willing, and don't
you forget to remember it. Put up
your hands, you cursed aristocrat, or I'll
blow hole through yer big enough to

kind of Deep Gulch Canyon terror l
am. and I'll trouble you to remember it.
Put up yer hands, dye hear ?"
But Mr.. jackson didn't hear. He
| quietly reached out with his left hand,
gathered the youth across his knee, and
with the right administered such a
spanking as that boy hadn't had since
his grandmother died.
When he was tired out, and the high.
wayman's cres were beginning to raise
the neighborhood, Mr.. jackson let up,
and then pitying the boy, asked him
who he was.

The Jew in Russia.

Prince Demidoff San Donate has writ
ten a pamphlet on Semitic affairs in
Russia He first draws a comparison
between the prosecutions of the Jews in
Russia and Germany. The affairs of
Kieff, Elisavetgrad and other places have
been of a very much more serious char
acter than anything that has taken place
in Germany. In Germany, says the
prince, the Jews have many privileges.
Should nti-Semitic riots take place
there and the property of the Jews be
destroyed, the German Landrecht has a
very good way of settling such difficult
ties. It simply makes the entire number
of inhabitants, whether they have
played an active part in the affair or not,
responsible for the mischief done, and
makes them pay for it. In Russia it is
a different thing altogether. There the
Jew, not having the privileges and
rights of a citizen, becomes easily
thanks to certain more or less praise
worthy 'singularities of the Jewish
national character-an object of hatred
and violence on the part OF the nhabl-
tants.
The Prince then goes into details
about the wretched condition OF the
Jews of Russia, most of whom, he says,
lead a life of the most abject misery and
poverty. On the basis of official stat1s-
tics he gives a sorrowful account OF their
condition. He quotes from one OF the
official reports from the province OF
Grodno. as follows:
"Nearly all the Jews here are OF the
very poorest class, always i'll used,
scarcely knowing where to get their
daily bread. Burdened with large fami-
lies, they live herded together in man.
ner beyond all description. Very often
as many as ten and twelve families live
in three or four rooms. The food of the
poorer Jews is of the meanest kind; an
entire family has to subsist on pouno
of bread, eaten with herring or a few
onions. A Jewish messenger will rur
about the whole day long to earn sever
cents"
Citing again from an official account
of the Jews in the government o.
Kowno, he says 'There are poor Jew
ish handworkers here whose families
must go hungry the whole day long un
til he gets home at night with portion
of his daily earnings. The author
finally arrives at the conclusion that il
order to improve the condition of tht
Jews it is necessary to give them the
rights of Russian citizens and perfect
freedom of movement.
