Effect of an Old Ballad

Talking of the war reminds ME of
pretty story Of the bloody Confederate
drama. The father of Willie Black, Of
Atlanta, when Is years old, left college
joined the southern army, and remain
ed in it from first to last. He was tax
en- prisoner once and wounded three
times. He says that after the battle of
Gettysburg, when the bafaed Conf eder-
ates, worn, weary, heartsore, were re-
crossing the Potomac at dusk, many
we're grooming, some were c1lrsing,
while tine majority of them felt too I'M
happy to express themselves bolster
ously. Finally they went into camp,
cooked their frugal meal, and settled
down to grim quarrel with fortune OF
lapsed into sullen silence. All at once,
swelling melodiously through the sum-
mer air, came noble, resonant tenor
voice singing "Giye me cot liz the val
ley I love. ~" The soldiers listened with
rapture, and the dear vision of home
turned the bitterness of their hearts to
sweetness and peace. All blasphemy
anger and unutterable anguish ceased.
By the power of song heaven descended
upon the raging hell in their bosoms.
and when the ballad luiled into an echo,
dying plaintively away, it was as If an
angel had passed and touched the val
liant men in gray with the healing OF his
wing.-Wasllington Correspondent u
the Augusta (Ga. Chronicle.

Butter-Mak1ug was;efu1 Business.

6uICeF-ma11uS q "aS;e1u1 SuS1n0aS. :
Next to milk butter is by far the
largest product of the dairy, and the
costliest and most wasteul of intrinsic
value in its production Twenty five
pounds of milk-the average weight &C.
quired for making q poune of butter
would sustain a mans lie we'll nigh
half month, while the lutter wsuld
supply bodily waste for hrdly half a
day. The DEMONSTRATING natter in the
form of caseine and ALBUMIN in the
milk for pound of butter, would be
just about equal to ten pounts of meat,
all of which is sacrificed as q direct
human food, and is only indirectly utl-
lied as a by. product, to, be fed
to animals and after sacrificing
nine-tenths of it's ife-supporthg abil-
ity, will return one-tenth IN, new
form fit for human use-all br one
pound of butter which is little ellie than
a luxury, and not an indispensable one:
It is but a pound of hydrocarbo1, an
effective equivalent for which scence
at profit can replace for ten cants.
When thousands of the laboring poor
in our towns and cities, in whose wins
a kindred blood is flowing, are pinc1ed
and suffering for the want of just such
food, to keep soul and body together,
is it Christian work to occasion so
large sacrifice of useful food for a
little luxury? No one will say nay, for
we "all do it!"--Professor L. B. Arnold.

Amino4iA for Plants.

Last year I was induced to try an ex-
pertinent in chrysanthemum growing,
and for this purpose purchased one
pound Of sulphate Of ammonia, which I
bottled and corked, as ammonia evapo-
rates very rapidly. / then selected
four plants from my collection, putting
them BY themselves, gave them a tea
spoonful Of ann onia in gallon of wa
ter twice week. IN q fortnight's time
the result was most striking for though
T watered the others with liquid COW
manure, they looked lean when com
pared with the ammonia watered plants
whose leaves t1rned to very dark
green, which 'hey carried to the
edge of the dotsu the flowers were
cut. AS matter Of course the flowers
were splendid, Che ammonia used is
rather expensive Is bought it from a
chemists shop. TITS year I intend get
ting agricultural ammonia, which is
much cheaper. I lave also tried it on
straw berries with til, same satisfactory
result, the crop beng nearly double
that of the others. 4 is very powerful
and requires to be usel with caution

The Social Millennium.

The worst wrongs, the most cruel
public crimes, have originated or at
least have been continued, through tie
worlds ignorance of them or of their
victims. Many of these ofenses have
ended with the diffusion of knowledge
on. the subject If all mankind were
commonly acquainted We should draw
nearer to perfect state of society.
Acquaintanceship would be productive,
not merely Of that vague and abstract
brotherhood which has indeed accom-
plished something, and is not to be de-
spised as q force, but also of that prac
tical, concrete, helpful sympathy which
is the. final agent Of civilization.
I The social aud political millennium,
If it ever comes, will be brought about
by the individual efforts Of men-not OF
man in general; efforts to help them
selves and each other. It will not be
effected by Legislative machinery that,
at the best, can only clear the way for
men to help themselves. The nostrums
of the day community of goods, the
abolition Of property rights in whole or
in part, the cry of mo rent, the de-
struction Of landtitles, the nationalizing
of the soil never will bring in the NIL
lennium age. Brooklyn Eagle.

Costumes Of the Old Statesmen.

Luke ?. Poland is the only relic Of
the old statesmen of the days of Clay,
Calhoun, and Webster. He still clings
to the swallow tail coat with the bright
gold buttons which were used by all of
the fashionable men Of that time. 1t
is cleaner and prettier than the Prince
Albert, or the cutaway of the present.
In fact, the dress of men has been
growing simpler during the past CEN
fury. Washington, who died in 1899,
wore rufaes on his sleeves, and half of
the men who signed the Declaration Of
Independence wore powered wigs. JET
ferson sported knee breaches, and Mad
ison was proud Of having worn suit
of clothes of American make at his in
auguration. Daniel Webster usually
wore suit of snuff brown color, with a
large, soft necktie. Martin Van Buren,
was very fastidious about his clothes,
and always appeared during the sum-
mer In the whitest of white duck linen
His clothes were cut in the latest
styles, and he wore very high stock
neckties, out of which peeped bis stand
ing collar, making his head look like
that of John the Baptist on a charger.
Andrew Jackson also dressed well,
though he did not make his clothes a
great matter. Henry Clay wore swal-
low-tai and standing collar extrava'
gantly high. James Buchanan was al
ways very precise in his clothes, always
appearing in full dress. He had great
trouble as to- how he should appear
when he was our minister to England.
and the discussion involved the Queen
of England herself.

Not a Good Market.

Washington Letter to the Chicago Tribune
Washington cannot be considered
good matrimonial market. The young
women do not find husbands easily IN
the society of this place. The proof
CT the fact is that there is hardly a
leading official or wealthy family here
that has not one or two old maids upon
it's hands. This is notably true of some
of the most prominent and distinguished.
Here are daughters whose fathers have
large wealth and handsome positions.
Yet their daughters, who are thoroughly
trained, we'll hammered and educated
do not find husbands. Whether it is
that these young ladies aim too high
or not is unknown. It may be that
their fathers are not able to give them
money enough to set them MP in
establishment, equal to their own, and
as natural consequence these young
women may prefer the prestige and
comfort of their fathers handsome posi-
tions to the obscurlty of marrying an
humble citizen or the uncertainty
involved in marrying man who is not
rich. T could name ut least twenty
young ladies who have been bellies in
Washington society for at least ten
years. There are very few marrying
young men in Washington. The army
and navy fellows are the principal candi'
dates for matrimony., You may add to
this list thirty or forty half-starved
attaches of the different legations. But
all these young men are thrifty and
are looking out for rich wives. The
noble and energetic young man who Is
making his own way in the world and
who is growing mp with the country
does not come to Washington. The
men who do come here and who have
money are generally already provided
with family OF are beyond middle ago,
when men do not act hastily and are
not aptto set up new establishments or
incur new ties. The only real eligibles
are the widowers. They are considered
as fair candidates and every now and
then one Of them succumbs. The
number, however, is limited, and out
side of their money and position would
not be considered anywhere else as
prizes. s,f -a

Miners Who Held on to Their Pile.

William n. Stevens went to Datroit
and retired on million; Fred Letter
took as much to Chicago, and afew
others. followed their example. But
they were the exceptions. Elk Gov.
John Il. Routt made big strike in
1877. He commenced as "way-down"
prospector. Joe Watson, his partner,
was equally fortunate, and so wera'
George G. Corning, who made $500 900,
and ex. Secretary Teller, who made
5000 900. Casey also made a good deal
Of money in Colorado and had the sense
to save it. Gov. J. B. Grant, ". b.
James and E. E. Eddy realized about
5000 900 each. Simon Foss made
500, 900 and he now has a large cattle
rancho in Indian Territory. In fact, l
can give you the names Of a dozen other
men who have done well and are now
on the: road to large fortunes. But
when you come to speak Of mill onalres,
there's mighty few worth talking about,
