A trifing mistake often changes
the entire course of a persons life. A
short time ago the local paper at
Red Bluff, CAL, announced that "the
prayer meeting at the NJ. E. church
will be hell tonight" This typo
graphical error made many people
believe that some thing remarkable
was to take place at this meeting
and the church was crowded. The
officiating brethren, greatly encoura'
ged by the large audience, were
inspired to eloquence, and the result
was that thirteen converted persons
united with the church.

WHITEwAsH.-An excellent white
wash for outdoor work is made Of
lime fixed by some preparation which
fezes it and makes it adhere better.
A common mixture IS as follows
Half a bushel of lime is slaked in a
clean barrel, with as much boiling
water as will cover it Eve inches
deep, and stirred we'll until it is
smooth. Water is then added to
reduce it to a proper thickness, and
two pounds of sulphate of zinc and
one pound of self are dissolved in
it. 1t is then ready for use. Three
pounds of yellow ochre added will
make a cream color ; lampblack
makes a gray or pearl color ; four
pounds of brown amber one pound
Of Indian red and one pound OF
hanback, give it a fawn or light
brown, and the amber with more
black makes a brown. stone color.

Habitual constipation is not only
one Of the most unpleasant, but at the
same time one Of the most injurious
conditions Of the human system, and
is but a forerunner Of disease, unless
removed. This is usually accom-,
plished by the use Of purgatives,
which for the time afford relief, but
after their immediate effects have
passed they leave the system in a
worse state than before. To effect
a cure it is necessary that the remedy
used should be one that not only by
its cathartic effect relieves the
Bowels, but at the same time acts
as a tonic, so as to restore the organs
to a sound, healthy condition. This
PR1CKLY ASH BITTERs will do. 1t

StOnewal1 JacksOn's Horse.

The war horse of Stonewall Jack
son, which has reached the New
Orleans Exposition and is attracting
so much attention, has had an event
full history.
Since the war the animal has,
until recently, been in the care Of
Mrs. Jackson's brother in North
Carolina. She gave the animal to
the Virginia Military Institute.
where he was cared for and allowed
to wander over the grounds, the pet
of every one. He has not worn a
saddle since the war.
The horse was known as Little
and his history is novel and
interesting. A member of Jackson's
staff, now in this city, remarked to-
day that Little Sorrel was made a
Confederate against his will.
In the spring Of 1851, when Ma
,jor Jackson had taken command at
Harper's Ferry, a number of horses
were captured on a train from the
North, on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. Jackson requested his
quartermaster to select a horse for
him from the lot and Sorrel was
picked out.
He soon ev;nced great power of
endurance, and was used by Jackson
in his active service. He rode little
Sorrel at the battle of Manassas,
Kernstown, Mcdowell, Winchester,
Port Republic, Cross Keys, Chicka-
hominy, Cedar Mountain, Second
Manassas, sharpsburg, Harper's
Ferry, Fredericksburg, and at Chan.
cellorsville, whers Jackson fell, NOR.
tally wounded from his back. The
old stead is now thirty years of
age.
When Jackson was wounded he
escaped into the Federal lines and in
a subsequent charge was captured by
Gen. j. E. B. Stuart.
When Little Sorrell passed through
Knoxville the other day, the old
men Who had seen the animal in
battle fell upon his neck and wept.
