Unable 10 Write.

Would you mind writing this
message for me?" asked a quite res
pectable-looking young woman of
the receiving operator at a District
Telegraph station on Eighth street
yesterday afternoon. Il can not
write with my gloves on"
Certainly, miss, with pleasure"
was the polite reply, and the Off
cial proceeded to take down from
dictation message of some length.
''Are You often requested to do
that?" he was asked, when the
message was written and the lady
gone.
.,0h, yes. She probably couldn't
write at all, or so badly she was
ashamed to let me see her caligraph.
1t is quite common thing for peo-
pie, both men and women, 10 ask us
to do their writing for them. l
guess anyone would be astonished
to find out how many people there
are who are hardly able to spell
their own name. much less write
legible letter or telegraphic message.
These are principal byEnglish people
Of the working classes, who have
only been in this country a short
time. Near all born Americans can
write. They tell me that in Eng
land the laboring people are very
seldom able TO read and write, es-
pecially in the mining and manu-
featuring districts.
at is not an uncommon occur
renee for people to come in and ask
US to make up their letters for them.
They tell US the substance of what
they want 70 say and get rs TO put
it in shape for them. They never
let on they can't write or read, but
its easy 10 see that. Some Of the
excuses they make are very funny.
They will pretend they are foreign
ere and can't write English, or they
have sprained their wrists. or have
their gloves on, or can't write with
our pens, and we have to look ser
ious, while all the time we see
through their lodges perfectly.
Then there is the kind who don't
went to have their handwriting rec
ognized-young men who are send
ing love letters to girls unknown TO
their parents, and young girls who
wish to keep appointments with
young men that they would be wiser
avoid"
do you always accommodate
them ?"
"Oh. yes,unless we are very much
pushed, and in that case We make
them wait until We have time to at
tend TO them. 1t doesn't do to lose
q message, you know

One Of the cheapest ways of in
creasing manure is to lay in plenty
Of vegetable litter during or at the
growing season, to use for absorbing
liquid manure. Where an atunl
dance of straw is lacking leaves
from the woods and groves will
answer just as well, and can be
had for The gathering. Straw can
often be bought of unwise farmers
cheap, and where there is a chance
for this let it be made the most of.
Where swamp muck is a:tainable,
nothing can be found better than
this, when, dry, as an absorbent.
Sawdust, refuse bark from the tam
neries, and other wastes have some
value for this purpose, if nothing
better is availsble. Use the absorb,
ents freely about the stable. hog
pens and barn yards, and a vast
amount of fertilizing matter, that
too often goes to waste, may be re-
tanned to the benefit of the crops.

by reaction that leaves the organ weaker

spite Of the fact that ratlons were getting
awfully low. But the pickets on either side
Of the river thought there was dearth on
the one side Of tobacco, and on the other
side Of coffee, and in spite Of official orders
they determined to exchange commodities.
Strict orders had been isSued by the CON
federate generals against any intercourse
between the opposite armies, and In a
measure the edict was properly regarded.
But IL happened that a young fellow be-
longing to federal regiment stripped of
his clothes and swan across the Rapidan
TO exchange with the rebels on the next
bank. He had pretty nearly got through
with his 'dickern when the brigader gen
eral of the confederates came along, and the
Yank hid behind a clump Of bushes. The
general knew his men md their practices,
and forcing his horse behind the bushes, he
discovered the discounted federal. The
confederate general agreed TO release the
Illicit trader on the condition that he would
"do so no more" But, apart from that,
there are tragic circumstances brought to
my mind. | have seen many episodes in
the war between the states. but have never
seen one that enlisted my sympathies more
than the incident will attempt herein to
describe:
A TRADING TRAGEDY.
On cold day in the latter part Of De-
picketing on the bank Of the Rappahan-
mock, Immediately at the point where Burn
side'sllower pontoon bridge was laid. The
river here is two or three hundred yards
wide, swift and deep up to the banks
Two federal cavalry men came down to the
opposite bank and shouted TO us that they
had lots of coffee and sugar which they
wanted to trade for tobacco. They were
told to come over, as they said they had a
boat. They came across, and after the
trade was completed they started back.
Now the men were dressed In their heavy
overcoats, with capes and high cavalry
boots and spurs. The boat was small
plank scow, and we saw when they come
over that It was leaking badly. They
bailed II out before they started on the re-
turn trip. When within forty yards of the
opposite bank, in spite Of the frantic efforts
Of the men to paddle II TO shore, IL went
down under them, and, dragged down by
their weight Of clothing, they sank like
plummets Of lead in full view OF their com
rades, who were unable to render the slight
est assistance, having no other boat.
1t appears, then, that we had some fun In
the armies that were contesting In the late
war between the states, even as II we were
bitterly contestant
