General jackson and the First
Manassas.

Rev. DR.. R. L. Dabney, who was
an officer on General Stonewall Jack
sons staff during the late war, in a
recent publication thus states tho
Generals position as to the policy of
pursuit at the first battle of Manassas:
General jackson did not draw
the same inference which General
Imboden in his recent narrative in
the Century AdgasiRe draws from the
lack of rations, teams, &C., at Ma
nassas, as to the propricty of Cen
eral Johnston's policy in failing ut
terIy to follow up his victory. I,
myself, asked General jackson, in
June, 1862, his opinion of the inactive
policy pursued. knitting his brows,
he replied sternly and almost passion
ately: Sir, it was a deplorablc blum
der. Did not 10000 fresh men ar
rive on the ground next day, burning
with eagerness to pursue the enemy,
not one of whom was allowed a chance
to draw a triggerY AS to scarcity of
rations and teams, his answer was:
That rations were not created by
sitting still; that the country was
then full of provisions; that the pa
triots might as well have begun to
learn then what they had soon to learn
so fuiiy-to march without rations
and baggage-trains in order to win
alI-important victories and wrest, tho
supplies they needed from tho en-

living presence of that splendid man

very field, where, in all honor and
earnestness VIC strove as enemies, and
even take him by the hand as in the
long-past days when We served to-

malice, and that he would be the first

with us in paying to the gallant dead
of this Army of the Potomac the same
tribute I offer to his Army of North

The Old Story.
NATHAN uPuAN.

Shadowed by the lilac tree,
Near the garden fence,
Stands my neighbor, Rosie Lee,
Charm of innocence!
sweeter than the fragrant flower,
With the dew-drop laden,
Tairer than the morning hour,
Is the winsome maiden!
From the naples topmost limb.
With the flush of day,
Come the rcdbreast's matin hymn,
Sweetest roundelay!
Yet the song the maiden sings,
Tuneful, soft aud lowly,
To one heart q rapture brings,
E'on more pure and holy.
Happier thought than lips can speak
Beams in her blue eye;
Joy lights up her glowing cheek
Her bctrothcd is nigh!
Needless of the lilac's bloom,
Or the mornings glory,
All that in her heart fluids room
Is Loves sweet, old story!

CABBAGE WoRMs.-The most fre-
quent pest which infest cabbage are
the small lice and green worms
These are both destroyed by Persian
insectpowder. Fine air-sIacked lime
will kill the lice, but not the worms.
The kerosene emulsion will destroy
both, and will not injure the cabbage
unless it is nearly mature. This is
made by mixing one pint kerosene
oil or of crude petroleum with one gall
Ion of strong soft soap suds and
churning it into well mingled emuI-
sion. Hand picking of the worms
once day is good plan where the
plot is small, but for large plot the
Persian insect powder is preferable
to any other method.-ESchange.

In sermon in Nashville, recently,
Rev. Sam Jones tackled the " arm
clutch" usage in his vigorous style.
The Nashville Union editorially says.
"Thc preacher in the most earnest
manner said: Young woman, 1
would sustain your good name; 1
love to think of your good character;
but l beg you, make young men keep
their hands off you. When a young
man walks with you and scizes your
arm, you may be virtuous, but what
is he?'
I" When the preacher closed his few
pointed sentiments on this offensive
habit, his carncstness had walked up
the vast audience, and the gospel
tent fairly ratified with applause.
"Nye predict the great preacher
has cured Nashville young people,
and that in future the police will re-
gard the act rs ground of suspicion,
and Immediately enquire who the
characters are. This community
ought to give Mr.. Jones house and
lot for this touch on social practices
when it was most needed"

Crows that Forage in the Night.

The extremely severe weather of this
winter writes q NeWmanstOWn, Pa, cor
respondent to the New York Sun, has
caused the crows to play sad havoc with
the grain stacks Of the farmers. All
through the Lebanon valley the wheat
and rye crop was very heavy, and the
barns were too small to hold the IN
threshed sheaves. They were accord
ingly stacked outside Of the barns. Crows
in very large numbers were driven from
the hills by threatened starvation, and
the birds selected the night hours to at
tack the grain stacks frequently a
farmer arising in the morning has been
astounded to see his grain stacks looking
as if a cyclone had struck them during

Ness CITY NslCs: Mr.. Higday, of Lane
county, while IN tow, recently, said ne
had q number of cattle die this winter
that were in good condition. He cannot
account for their death In any way. In
conversation he told us that he would
have saved $500 had he built a pasture
last summer, as his loss Of cattle from
eating loco would equal that amount.
CoaDboy. John Mueller had 900 head
of cattle on the Smoky Hill range the
past Winter. He says he has lost only
three calves and a bull. The latter was
afflicted with foot rot and was killed to
relieve him of his misery. He is conf
dent that the Summer season viii be
reached with a loss Of less than two per
cent. in his herd.
Atchison Globe: The horse disease
known as the CHAMBERS has broken out in
this vicinity. Mrs. Wilkes, living on
Deer Creek, lost four last week, and Joe
Beecham, who lives on Independence
Creek, in DOniphan county, lost three at
about the same time.
Some of the western sheep men lost
quite heavily during thelate bad weather,
while others met with little loss. 1t was
noticeable that the greatest loss was
among f1ocks which were in poor flesh
and the least in focks which were in the
best condition.
The Lyckburg live stock company, in
Hodgeman county, feel better than they
did a year age. They have experienced
but few losses thus far since the appear
ance Of cold weather last Fall A year
ago this time the report was not so fat
tering.
The weather during the past two
weeks has been warm and summer-like.
Under its influence cattle are reCuperat-
ing with wonderful rapidity. The win
ter losses were much less than was sup
posed by many. Cattlemen are by no
means discouraged.
Dogde City Globe: Some Of the travel
ing correspondents are sending some
hard-tO- be-fOrgiven lies to eastern papers
about the loss Of cattle on Kansas ranges.
James. W. Fuller, Of near Ness City,
lost eight head of cattle this winter.
The loss was caused mostly by cattle fall
ing through the ice.
