The Victim An Object of Sincere and
Heart-Rending Pity,
1t looks as if it was mighty nice to be
able to sit by nice fire for week or
so with nothing to do, but we had
rather maui rails than do it. It's nice,
very nice, to sit tilted back in front of a
fire, with plenty of cigars and lot of
exchanges, a novel or so and pair of
slippers. Oh, yes, it looks rery nice,
indeed-to the man who is not sitting
there. With his throat wrapped up in
an army blanket "a big towel ted
around his head, bottle of liniment in
one hand. his temples held in the other
and a wad of cotton saturated with
laudanum and jammed down onto a
row of aching teeth. he is an object OF
the most sincere and heart-rending
pity. He takes up a novel, and just as
he gets to where the loving maiden
says: "Yes, darling, they may say
that you are poor. but 1 love you for
YOUR true worth; be patient. dearest;
twill be but few brief hours till l will
see YOU in Tophet! this last word
is used by the man sitting BY the fire.

and the sufferer gets back into the easy
chair and takes up the book again.

Seeding Down to Grass.

In seeding down to grass there
are two mistakes that the farmers
often make. First, not much more
t than half seed enough is sown.-
try to save money by sowing "a
small quantity OF seed. The result
is there are many vacant places,
thus leaving a chance for weeds
and undesirable varieties of grass
to come in, which having gained a
footlold will soon begin to crowd
out che desirable varieties. An effort
should be made to SOW seed enough
to cover the land so thick with
young plants as to crowd out every
undesirable variety that tries to
get in. In this way a much better
quality of hay will be cbralned, and
the crop will be satisfactory some
years longer than if only half seed
enough is sown. Many farmers
seem to have but little to do to pre-
pare Il field to SOW grass seed, ex-
cept to simply plough it and run an
a harrow over it a few times to lev
ell it: but this is not enough. 1t ID
good crop Of grass is expected it is
necessary to not only thoroughly pull
verize the soil three or four inches
deep, but to mix Il liberal supply OF
manure with it. As is generally eX-
pected that the land when once
seeded will remain in grass sever
al years it pays not only to apply
something that is not at all at once
available for plant food. Ground
bone, if not very fine, will TO this,
and is therefore one Of the best fer
tilizers toaI ply to land that is to be
found in the market especially II
applied in connection with good
wood ashes, two fertilizers which pro,
duce good crops Of grass several

Standing trees pass aspart Of the
land; so do trees blown or cut down
and still left in the woods where
they fell, but not ifcut and corded

heap ready for immediate use, the
buyer ordinarily takes az belong

Custer's Confederate Friend.

The Seventh Cavalry were sent
to guard the engineers of the
Northern Pacific while they sur
yeyed the route to the Yellowstone.
The party Of citizens joined the
command a few days out from
Fort Rice. Gen. Custer wrote me
that he WAS lying on the buffalo
robe in his tent, resting after the
march, when lie heard IL voice out
rral called '' ost: ifaiiJ' old lslf5&s
| haven't heard that voice in Ii
wears, but | know it. Come in and
welcomed Gen. RoSser walked in,
and such a reunion as was had!
These two had been classmates
and warm friends at West Point,
and parted with sorrow when Gen.
Rosser went into the Southern
army. Atterwaru they had fought
each other in the Shenandoah Val
lev time and time again. Both OF
them lay on the robe for hours
talking over the campaign in Vir,
ginia. In the varying fortunes OF
war sometimes one had got pos
session of the wagon train belong
ing to the other. l knew Of sever
al occasions when they had captur-
ed each others headquarter wagon
with their private luggage. Ii one
drove the other back in retreat, be
fore he went into camp he wrote a
note addressing the other as 'Dear
fIiend," and saying, "You may
have made me fax" a few steps
this way to-day, but iii be even
with yoato morrow. Please accept
my good wisheSand thislittle gift
These notes aud presents were LETT
at the house OF some Southern wo-
men us they retreated out OF the
village. Once Gen. Custer took all
of his friends luggage and found
in it new uniform coat OF Con
Tolerate gray. Lie wrote Il humor
Gus letter that night thanking Gen
Rosser for setting him up in sc
many new things, but audaciodsll
asking him if he ''would direct his
tailor to make the coat tails Of hi:
next uniform a little shorter" a.
there was a difference in the leigh
of the two men. Gen. Custer cap
tured his herd Of cattle at one time
but he was so holly pursued b.
| Gen. Rosser that he had dismount
ed, cut whip, and drove thea
himself until they were occurred.
