Wanted Sour-Krout.

ly p asked Dr., who wa7 Gen.
Jackson's corps surgeon, OF me one
day about year ago, when we were
waiting for train at little station
down in Virginia. 1T was after we
reached Chambersburg, Pa, when Lee
invaded the north. At that time, you
remember Hunter was in the valley
playing the mischiefs with everything
and Lee had determined that if he did
not stop that sort of thing he would
get even on the first town of any i'm
portance that came in his way. Well,
we heard something just before we
got to Chambersburg that made Lee
very mad, and he thought that the
time for getting even had come. So
he sent On officer or two into the town
to say that the town council must en-
pect to pay considerable sum of mon
ey, or its equivalent, and they sent
back the answer that the members of
the council would meet delegation of
officers within two hours or something
like that. Our army was in a terrible
state; the men wanted shoes, clothing
of every kind, provisions and medi-
cines were wanted for the..hospital SER
vice. So was sent to say what |
wanted, and to see that L got it.
After the officers had stated their
wants, was called on to read my bill
of particulars. L wanted so much
quinine, for the men were suffering
from malaria and various fevers that
required 4uinine, and | had none. L
wanted great many other things,
and did not hesitate to ask for them
under the circumstances, end at the
end of my list | read out ten barrels
of sour krout.' In spite of the fact
that the members of that town coun-
Gil were not feeling very jolly, every
one of them burst out laughing as did
our officers. One little old man be-
longing to the council got up, and
asked if I had come there to make fun
of them. / replied that nothing was
farther from my attention ; that the
soldiers needed acids very much, and
if they did not have any sour krout in
town would take lemons or good
pickles. Then the testy little man
wanted to know where I was raised.
told him | was born in Virginia and
that had spent the most Of my life
( in the state, but that | did not see
what that had to do with the sour
krout. Did you ever make any krout?'
he asked / confessed that | had nev-
er been guilty of making any of the
stuff, and that | did not remember
that / had ever seen any of it, but
that had heard we were among the
Pennsylvania Dutch, and [ thought
they would have sour krout if they
had anything. The little man put a.
bout two years disgust into his face
and said IF you had ever seen any
krout you would not be asking for it
in July. thought everybody knew
that it don't never get ripe until late
in the fall / did not hear the last of
that sour krout for more than six
months. The story seemed to get all
over the south; every new man that |
saw me for the next six month wanted
to know if l had any sour krout late

THE ELECrRIo LIGar WORKS.
New Machinery Being Put In-som,

New Machinery Being Put In-some-
thing About Cartons.
The electric light company has been
busy for some time increasing the oapac-
ity OF its works. A new 65-light dynamo,
a 55-horse pow engine, and an improved
switchboard are being put in, and some
repairing is being done under the direc-
tl0n Of superintendent Keck. The works
have been running with two dynamos
and two engines, but the steady increase
al the demand for lights has necessitated
greater capacity.
Az the beginning of next year the city
VIII, under the new contract, take
some additional lights, which, with
the other business, will keep the
works running at their best. The current
Tor the lights is now supplied over FIVE
s'loOps" or circuits. Three Of the circuits
are for the city's lights. A fourth circuit
furnishes the current for the private lights
that burn until midnight, and the other
loop Is for the private lights which burn
all night. sunday night is the dullest of
the week, so far as business is concerned,
for the electric light works. More lights
are used Saturday night than on any other
OF the week, because the public market is
kept open on that night.
The electrical machinery and dynamOs
USED In the arc system are manufactured
at Cincinnati. A conference of all the
manufacturers Of carbon points IN the
United States is being held in Cleveland
Tor the purpose OF efieeting a combination
by which the price Of the "polnts" may be
advanced. Carbon points are the sticks
OF carbon used in the arc electric lamps.
They are about six inches long and a
third Of an inch in diameter. They are
made OF compressed coke which has been
pulverized and mixed with molasses and
other substances. When these carbon
points hrRt became an article OF commerce
they were sold by the manufacturers at
500 thousand, and as late as two years
ago they sold at 800. Since then, how
ever, the larse profits in the business
have resulted in the establishment of at
least dozen factories. and the price has
dropped from $50 10 Sl5, and so sharp has
become the competition that the electric
nght companies can buy the points upon
their own terms. The manufacturers
claim that at present prices they are los
Ing money, and some Of them will be
ruined II the thing keeps on. Competent
electric hght men, however. say that the
points can be made al profit for less than
Slj a thousand. The result Of the confer
ence at Cleveland is likely to send the
price up again. There are about poo 900
carbon points uscd daily IN the United
States. IL is said that the purpose OF the
conference is to put the price at $50 a
thousand.
