The Sentinel shows highly commend
able enterprise i'll its very energetic

DR.. johnson ON Microbes.

All anticipation Of future knowledge and sug-
gestions which those who come after find to be
correct, have q peculiar kind of interest and
are worth noting, even though the scientific
nasis on which they are founded may be ques-
tionable. There Is an observation OF Samuel
Johnson's on the subject OF dysentery which
m1riy Illustrates this. In . letter to Mrs.
iihraie, dated November IL, 1871, he says: eff
MI - will drink o great deal Of water the
acr1mony that corrodes his bowels will be d.
luted, II the cause be only acrimony; but sus-
which know not how to kill" Johnson used
the word s'animalcul@," a modern writer
would say microbes" but the same thing is
meant. And now, q century after the time
when Johnson wrote, authorities do not suspect
but assert, that animalcuise are the cause and
are seeking "how to kill them"

John w. Garrett had an iron will, but his
wife ruled him, although she did it in such a
way that the old man never knew it, During
the forty years of their married life the two
never slept night apart and / think Mrs. Gar
rett's death FASTENED that of her husband. For
some years back Mr.. Garrett had been i'm bad
health from overwOrk, and the physicians had
prescribed that his meals should be regular, and
that business should not be talked at the table
Mrs. Garrett saw that these rules were carried
out, and whenever the lunch or dinner time
arrived, it made no difference If Mr.. Garrett
was in the midst Of the most important con-
guests whom the President would delight To
honor, she would call them to the table and i'm
q gentle way would admit of no REFUSAL Mr.
Garrett or his friend might ask for just one
minute more, but the kind old lady would
reply in the gentlest, tones: These
has promised that they shall be kept" At the
table it was the same. II the guest or John w.
Garrett would break out in some business excla-
nation or suggestion Mrs. Garrett would at
once object, and the railroad president at the
head of the table would laugbingly call atten-
over, and would begin to talk OF other subjects.
Mrs.Garrett was plain, motherly little woman,
full OF quiet charities and as thoroughly
wrapped up in her husband AZ he was in her.
She was posted on much of his work, and dur
ing her latter years he did the most Of his work
operators about him. Many OF his callers she
would receive and dismiss without their ever
bothering him. She was seldom absent from
his room, even during the most important con.
versatiOns, and she wound herself SO closely
about every fibre Of the old mans nature that
cry did not work. and he finally succumbed to
the loss.

PROSPECTS.
Reported for THE EVENING STAR
The May meeting of this club was held at J.
Norman Gibbs place on the 23d instant-Val-
entne Baker president, N w Pierson secre-
tary. His farm contains upwards OF two hum
dred acres, and is devoted to milk dairyine
He has also q large adjacent area rented for pas
turage and cropping; Is putting in about ninety
acres IN corn and twenty acres in fodder or ensi-
lage corn His wheat is most of IL good-re,.u
good for this season. One field OF SOME twenty
Tour acres, from present appearances, will Weld
from twenty-five TO thirty bushels per acre
The land is rolling and OF a character that does
not heave much with frost. He has dairy of
about sixty cows-nany of them fine-lOoking

Trough We had good shower the afternoon Of
the club and some rain the night before
Courtland Lukens read from the An,erfcon
Farmer a report OF the meeting of the late con-
-vention of farmers at Richmond and suggested
That our secretary correspond with the secretary
OF that organization with the view OF the Wood
lawn club becoming more intimately connected
herewith, which was approved.
The views of the members were asked in re-
gard TO the crop prospects, for filling up the T.
> agricultural department blanks for June lst.
which resulted in 81 very discouraging report
1t vas thought that oats and clover would not
make more than rom 2o to 80 per cent of a
crop Wheat has fallen off from the promises
OF month ago, so that it win not make more
than 40 per cent on average.
Col. Edward Daniels introduced the subject of
the state finances, and thought the time had
come for the farmers TO take hold of this debt
question, and take IL out of party politics. As
IL Ia not deemed advisable to discuss political
questions IN this club, special meeting was
called for the Both OF May at D. M. at the
