Fiery Phil.

In the summer of 1868, or shortly
following Bragg's retreat, writes the
Boston correspondent of the bingham
Journal, your correspondent received
orders from Washington to go over the
line of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad as far as Bridgeport on the
Tennessee River. The party of recon-
noissance consisted of your correspon-
dent, Mr.. Nash, native of Taunton, an
experienced railroad man, conpected
with the United States military railroad
service, q conductor and colored SER

two platform cars and two army wagons,
drawn by the locomotive Jupiter, But.
terworth engineer. Sheridan at that
time was located with his division at
Cowan, a station just this side of the
Tantallon Tunnel. Our scout had in.
formed us that the rebels had thrown
large boulders down the five shafts of
the tunnel. The special train arrived at
Cowan about daybreak. Mr.. Nash, who
had charge of the train, asked your cor
respondent if he thought it best to 20
through the tunnel first, or let Mai.
Hopkins, who was in charge of the en-

go in advance. I left the matter entirely
with Nash, who was ono of the coolest
heads ever saw, and thorough rail-
road man. In the meantime Sheridan
with his full staff appeared. Nash was
across the track, consulting with Maj.
Hopkins. Sheridan sent an orderly
over, requesting the immediate attend
ance of Nash. Nash very quietly re-
piled: "Tell Gen. Sheridan when I get
through with Maj. Hopkins will attend
on him." This message exasperated
Sheridan. He repeated the request,
changed to an order three times, with
the same cool reply from Nash. AS the
messenger was on his way for the fourth
time, Nash met him and stepped up on
the bank, when Sheridan met him with
volley of oaths. Nash very quietly
took his briarwood pipe from his mouth
emptied the bowl, refilled il with kill
kinick, rammed it home, took a match
from his vest pocket aud lit it; as it be.
gan to draw easy, he turned to Gen.
Sheridan and remarked: 81 see by the
two stars on your shoulder. straps you

piled Gen. Sheridan, ssand 1 will let

"Weil," said Nash, "you may be gen

want to go to the river. Well, COM
mand the railroad, and if you don't keep
civil tongue in your head, will run
the train off the track at Grow Creek,
and break your head" Sheridan sub.
sided, and the trip was pleasantly made.

Getting Rich on Squirrel Scalps.
from the Stockton Herald.l

q. Dawley is in the sqrirrel-destroy-
ing business. He hires four men. His
reward is 5 cents bounty for each scalp,
paid by the county. He assigns his
men to different districts. Farmers
pay the men 81 day and board for go
ing over their ranches. That pays ex-
penses, and the bounty on the scalps is
largely profit. Dawley has poison
that knocks the squirrels out the first
round, and generally before they can
get into their holes. He says he has
scalps enough on hand to clean out the
squirrel and gopher bounty fund. He
presents his scaIps only as fast as there
is money to pay the bounty. he has
$4,000 worth of scalps, awaiting an in
crease in the fund.

Just forbidden the sale in that city OF a
food-preserving preparation which Is
SAID to be largely composed of that sub
stance.
ITALY will not be very formidable
competitor in the grain markets of the
ensuing year. The report of the crops
OF 1888 show that OF wheat Italy har-
vested 45, 166, 900 hectoliters, or 1885,
135, 800 bushels, which was about SO per
cent of medium crop. This is the third
consecutive year in which the wheat
crop of Italy has fallen below the aver
age production, the shortage in these
three years having amounted to 20, IT'S.
800 hectoliters, or about 60,25S, $50
bushels, "defcits SO much the more de.
plorahle and dolorous," says the report,
seeing that the medium production OF
wheat with us is estimated in the poor
and shameful proportion of TO- rs hecto-
liters per hectare-abou5 124 bushels
per acre. Nor better fortune had the
wheat production in the various other
European states"
DIR. STURTRvANT says that there is no
arguing upon taste, as what may be
found most palatable to one person may
be little relished by another. To his
liking Ayrshire milk is the most palata-
BILE of all milks, "but Jersey cream is
more palatabIe tome than Ayrshire milk,
and I prefer Jersey cream thinned with
milk to anything in the milk line. One
meal day make upon crackers and
cream, and myself and family find milk
one of tho most satisfactory of foods.
When we regard cheapness, palatability,
and completeness of nutriment, milk
stands preeminent among foods, and its
consumption could be proitably and
pleasurably increased fve-fold. While
supplying New England village with
milk some years ago-a village Of we'll
to-do people-my surprise was very
great to find that the average consump-
ton was just one pint daily to the fam
lily, quantity less than is consumed by
one in my own family. But, to the pub
lie, milk seems to hold the phenomenal
position of the cheapest of foods used as
q luxury."

The Chemistry Of the Stomach.

As the most delicate processes of the laborato-
ry, 1t ia essential that the reagents employed to
produce chemical changes in matter should be un-
contaminated, go also 1t is imperadyely necessary
that the fluids Of the stomach, which act chemically
upon the food, should be perfectly pure When the
stomach is acid it is because these fluids are viated
or diluted. Similarly, other forms o. indigestion
arise from deficiency of the chemical properties Of
the gastric juices. The most direct and agreeable
way to restore their purity and improve their qua-
ty, is to take before each meal wineglassfull Of
Hostetters Stomach Bitters which corrects acidity,
renders digestion complete and painless, and over
come the constipation which it produces. The
nervousness and weakness resulting from chronic
dyspepsia, also disappear under its influence,

swept away. Fences and out-buildings are
also gone. One million dollars will not re-

applause. The exercises were, however,
varied in several unpleasant directions by
about one hundred students who were in

The prompt arrival of policeman put an

is digraceful. Nne-tenths of tiestudents
present were uainvited and by implication
were not wanted. They went TO private

LaWRENCEBURG'S PERIL.
Little Food I'm the Town aud the PeO-
ple Panic stricken.

IAwREyCEBURG, IND February 1.-THE
condition OF things here is gradually
growing worse and worse, and ell hopes
have been dispelled that the water would
not rise above the flood of last year. To
see the expression OF utter detection now
depicted on the countenances of the people
here would cause even heart of stone to
weep and pity them. They have been alter
mating between hope and despair for more
han wcek and have held on msrfully,
but the news to day, substantiated by the
rising waters themselves, caused hope to
fail and leave despair wearing the crown.
Aid has not yet been asked for, but they
csnr Ut hold out much longer. Even
should the river stop rising now, It would
be a week or ten days before it would sub
side sufficiently for them to help them
selves, and they cannot hold out that long.
Unless aid be received there will be much
suffering.
Even those who are best prepared did
not expect the water to remain over the
town more than a week, and the supplies
of many OF them are well nigh exhausted.
There is bread enough here to last all day
tomorrow, and there are also several bar
relsof crackers, but that is about all they
have. There was no coffee to be had to-
day, but the township trustees telegrahhea-
to Indianapolis for some, aud it is expects
ed here tomorrow. Coal oil is all gone,
and many houses are in total darkness.
Only two or three houses have been re-
moved from their foundations within the
past twenty four hours, but tonight sew
ers are exle ted to succumb. The more
the losses are examined the greater ap-
pears to be the amount. The Big Miami
is still pouring its wsters into town,
and the current carries everything loose
before it. From present indications there
will not be much OF the town left after the
flood. One man told the Journalist 70 day
to put the loss at 10000, another to make
S9UU.UrO, but the wli'er OF these dispatches
was sent here TO report things as he finds
