Among the incidents of his recent

Ridge.
"He said the finest sight he ever saw
was the advance Of the Union army
with 6O,OOO men in line.
"rhe day before the final fight At
Missionary Ridge, Gen. Manigault had
his headquarters on an elevated point
known as Cedar Hill, but upon the ad-
vance of the Union army the Confeder-
ates fell back about three-quarters of q
mile, and took up position on Mission
ary Ridge. AS the Union army .dvanc-
ed, Gen. Manigault observed that Cedar
Hill, the position evacuated by him the
day before, was now occupied by some
one, evidently Of high rank. He could
soc through his glass that orderlies on
horseback were coming and going in
such numbers as to make it very certain
that some person Of Importance was
then on Cedar Hill, and one who must
at least rank as high as division or
corps commander.
GAS he watched the hill the maxim of
Napoleon in regard to destroying or dis
abling the guiding mind Of an opposing
army, occurred to him. Napoleon under
such circumstances advised the concen.
tration Of a number Of batteries and
whole broadside in order to make sure
work, and as Gen. Manigault had sey-
eral batteries Of rifled guns, he felt very
sure that he could kill or cripple the
officer on Cedar Hill, but as he had
| orders not to waste any ammunition
until ordered from headquarters, he sent
| for his division commander and sug-
gested the propriety Of sweeping Cedar
| Hill. He was told that the orders of
Gen. Bragg were imperative on account
Of the.scarcity Of ammunition, to reserve
| fire for close quarters. However, he
said he would see Gen. Bragg and ask
his consent Gen. Bragg declined, and
so. said Gen. Manigault 4 lost An op-
portunity Of changing the currents Of
history, for week or two afterwards
my pickcts brought me q Cincinnati

which learned that the man, on Cedar

command could have killed or crippled

A Marvellous Rose.

In the western part of Jefferson
county, Fla, there grows and blossoms
into curious and magnificent beauty
rose that seems to be indigenous to q
small area of country, but which will not
flourish in other latitudes. The bush is q
strong and vigorous one, and the leaves
petals of the flower curve slightly in
ward, and are the color of bright arterial
blood.
The odor is punyent, but slightly sick
ening, The peculiarity of this flower is
that the dew that drops therefrom is of
q faint linkish cast, marvel seen in no
other flower, the battling wonder of those
who have witnessed it. It is called the
Grant rose and has q sad history. Its
origin is one of those mysteries with
which nature at times delights to aston
ish her devotees.
In 1884, John Grant and Nellie Lowry
were married. After a happy year of
married life they and their baby were
murdered by Osceola's Seminoles. A
few years later passing hunter, one of
the original party that had found the
bodies, happened on the same locality,
and in the little hollow where the blood
had gathered he saw q vigorous bush,
bearing such roses as 1 have described.
He cut some slips from it and took them
to the settlement, where he related his
discovery.
Such romantic and singular story ex-
cited the curiosity of many in the ada
cent counties, and repeated efforts were
made to secure the growth of the slips
in other places but they have all failed
ofsuccess. Within an era of five miles,

The Cattle Interests,

The cattle industry of this country is .
very important one. Millions of dollars
capital are invested therein, and thou
sands of persons are given employment
thereby. And yet we have not reached
that point in cattle raising to which ex-
cellence may be attached. Too many
steers of ignoble birth are raised for
profit. We have all the opportunities
for raising the best beefin the world and
all the breeds are here at our doors,
ready for the service of the farmer. II
he does not seize the advantages thus
offered he simply accepts Q small profit
instead of larger one. Double the
weight can be obtained from q good ami
NAL as compared with an inferior one,
and at almost the same cost. Therefore
patronize the beef breeds. The Short
horns, Herefords, Polled Angus and
Galloways should be on every farm.
They are cheap compared with scrubs,
and the farmers should consider such
fact. The cattle raising business, like
any other, depends upon enterprise, and
enterprise means to use the best stock
for the purpose.

Holding tho Breath.
Herald of Health.

Deep breathing and holding the breath
is an item of importance. Persons of
weak vitality find an uninterrupted sue
cession of deep and rapid respirations
so distressing that they are discouraged
from persevering in the exercise. Let
such persons take into the lungs az much
air as they can at q breath, and hold it
IS long as they can. They will find q
grateful sense of relief in the whole alb
dominal region. Practice will increase
the ability to hold the breath and the
capacity Of the lungs. After q time the
art may be learned of packing the lungs.
This is done by taking and holding the
breath and then forcing more air down
the trachea by swallows of air. The
operation may be described by that of q
fsh's mouth in water. To those who
have never learned it it will be surpris-
Tag to what an extent the lungs may be
packed. Caution at first is needful, but
later practice will warrant large use of
the treatment. The whole thoracic and
abdominal cavities will receive inmedi-
ate benefit, and continuance, with tenn
rerance in eating, and good air and right
exercise, will bring welcome improve
ment.

Overlooking Breeding Stock.

In connection with show VS. of breeding
stock, as they are now conducted, there
is one crying evil which seems to us to
demand the serious and immediate
attention of all concerned. The over
feeding of breeding stock, or of stock in
tended for breeding purposes, is ruin
GUS practice, pregnant with disasterous
influences, and unfortunately It's pur-
sued extensively with animals exhibited
at our summer breeding shows. In
connection with the important annual
meetings which they conduct, there is
no suggested reform which calls so
urgently for immediate attention as that
which is the subject of our remarks. 1t
has sometimes been averred that high
feeding is inseparable from showing
that as long as breeding stock are
brought into public competition, over
feeding will be pursued. There is no
reason why the case should be viewed
in this light. This disorder is not in
durable. It unfortunately has obtained
a strong hold on the show system, and
mild measures would not be sufficient to
remove it. An effectual remedy, how
ever, is at hand, and all that is required
is prompt, judicious, and persistent
application, disqualification" is the
only cure. Ifa rule providing for this
were introduced by all societies and
rightly enforced, the overlooking of
breeding animals would very seen be-
come q thing of the past. As to this
there is no reason for doubt. Exhibi.
tors pursue high feeding because they
have found that it has increased their
chances of gaining show yard distinction.
Change the showing system 80 as to
make highfeeding certain bar to show.
yard success, and no exhibitor would be
so blind to his own interests as to con-
tinue the &C silly and Obstructive custom.
Exhibitors are we'll aware of the harm
high feeding is calculated to infict upon
breeding animals, but they have felt
that to attempt to gain distinction in
show yards with lean animals would be
perfectly useless. The fault lies entirely
with our show system. 1t has hitherto
been conducted 80 as to encourage high
feeding. It must now be altered 80 as
not only to encourage natural" feeding,
but even 80 as to discourage, or rather
Danish, overlooking. Until societies
take the matter in hand, and deal firmly
with it in this way, no improvement
need be looked for.

From private sources at Washington
it is learned that the soldiers on guarc

been guarded by the military for foul
years. The detachment of soldiers

never really feared is still there. Night
ly the sentinel strides back and forth, q
curiosity to screech owls in the trees
and fatal and unnecessary warning to
the agents of medical colleges whose
scientific research takes no thought OF

was in circulation that one of the soldiers
on guard in Lake View cemetery had be-
come insane and had been sent to the
government asylum at Washington.
The story has never been verified and at
the tomb nothing can be learned of the
affair, which is clouded in mystery.
Awaiting the construction of the Gar
held monument, the remains of Ohio's
favorite son rest in the Scofeld vault,
half mile from the site selected for the
monument. Garfield's coffin is in plain

A WOman's Annoying Discovery.

A San Antonio, Tex, dispatch to the
New York Tribune of Nov. 18 says:
Green Mccullough, desperate, known
all through southwest Texas, stood out
side the open door of bar room about q
year ago and seeing man inside with
whom he had quarreled, raised his Win
chester rifle and shot him down. His
victim was one Bright. In his dying de-
claration he said that by the flash of the
gun he recognized Mccullough was ar
rested and put in Jail. Next morning
the most prominent and weathiest men
of the town-bankers, merchants, law.
yers, doctors attempting no disguise,
went to the jail, took Mccullough out,
and after hearing what he had to say
hanged him.
About six months afterward his wife,
who is handsome woman with two in
teresting children, acting on the advice
of San Antonio lawyers, brought suit
against 100 of the residents of La Sale
county for $1,000 damages. John A.
Kerr, q banker of Cotulls, was made
chief defendant. Able counsel was en-
ployed on both sides. When the case
was called the plaintiff produced q num-
of unimpeachable witnesses, and con-
clusively proved that the defendants
were the slayers of Mccullough. The
defense introduced three witnesses, who
testified that Mccullough was q married
man when they first knew him twelve
years ago, six years before he came TO
La Sale county; that he had married in
the east, and that his first wife and two
children were still living. "This closes
our case" said the chief counsel for the
defendants. "The plaintiff was never
McCullough's lawful wife and can not
recover"
She did not get cent; she had lived
with Mccullough for five years and
never Tor moment suspected that their
material relations were otherwise than
correct. The prospective owner Of
great sum of money, she saw herself re-
duced to q penniless and dishonored
woman. McCullough's relations say the
woman was his only wife.
