Nostalgia.

Nostalgia, inconsistencies, "heim weh''
no matter what You call tia rose by
any other name would smell as sweet
is an unmistakable fact, though philoso-
pliers may snccr and callous-hearted per-
sons laugh. 1t is a disease, as much as.
neuralgia or fever are diseases; it battles
the cleverest doctors skill, and admits OF
only one complete cure, and that is by
removing its cause. Sheer strength of
will may keep it in allegiance; hard work
may turn aside its course for a while; but
sometimes, at odd moments, in unexpect-
ed places, it asserts itself with an uncon-
troliablc longing, q sickening thirst for
home, which will neither be reprcsscd O,
appeascd. , A floating scent in the air-a
scent laden with the memory of a bygone
day, a sunset flush in the sky, an old mclo-
dy borne on the breeze, have been known
to bring on an attack of this strange illness,
almost unbearable in degree. Reason
has little or no effect in subduing its few
erish excitement; friendship the closest.
love the tendcrcst, cannot turn aside its
current; music has no power to soothe it's
bitterness, nor the distractions of gaycty
to rouse it from its melancholy. 1t is
something outside the sufferers body,
outside himself, his feelings, his reason,
it is sickness of the soul, a longing to
outstrip time and space, to leave the lag
gard body behind and fly to the native
air, the loved associations and early
friends of childhood.-AU the Yeas

Theodore Thomas.

Theodore Thomas, whose name sounds
so Anglo-S axonish, is a native of Hanov-
er, the son of a noted musician, and be-
longs to a numerous musical family. He
was q child prodigy, and astonishcd
everybody by his violin playing when he
was only 7 years old. At 8 he gave a
public concert at the capital, and was
highly praised by the most careful critics.
Not long after he was brought to this
country. His whole life has been dcvot-
ed to the cause of music, and his dcvo-
ton has borne good and abundant fruit.
He has unquestionably done more for
musical culture and advancement in the
United States than any 20 men who
might be named. The orchestra which
he carefully selected and has drilled for
years is not only the best, by all odds, in
the country, but is not surpassed by any
in Europe. Competent critics who at
tended the Bayreuth festivals during
Wagner's life, where everything was as
nearly complete as possible, declare that
the famous orchestra was not a whit bet
ter than, and some think it was not so
good as, the orchestra of Theodore
Thomas. He has made New York one OF
the great musical centres Of the world.
Every new composition of any value he
introduces 10 us as early as practicable.
Enthusiastic admirers of music who have
spent years in Germany arc often sur
prised to hear in New York compositions
they have never heard in any of its CAPT
tals.-Nsw York Commercial Adpe,tisN:.

Farm and Garden Notes.

There is no better fodder crop than
clover hay as food for sheep.
Do not keep different breeds of sheep
together. Tho conditions best suited to
some are not the best for others, and
when mixed, the result will be that all
will come short.
Cane sugar, or saccharose, occurs
chiefly in sugar cane, sorghum, the sugar
beet and from the sap of the sugar
maple; it also occurs in corn-stalks and
in small quantities in the grasses.
Grain.raising and pasturing may he
made mutually profitable for a time with
out a rotation of crops, but the time is
certain to come when the grain farming
needs to be alternatcd with grass.

Buell's Meeting with Grant ut Shiloh.

From General D. G. Buell's article i'm
the Century, entitled ''Shiloh Reviewed."
we quote the following: "About half
way up we met a stream of fugitivcs that
poured in a constantly swelling current
along the west bank of the river. The
mouth of Snake Creek was full of them
swimming across. We arrived at the
Landing about one o'clock. I inquired
for General Grant, and was informed
that he was on his headquarters boat,
nearly against which we had landed. l
went on board, and was met by him at the
door of the ladies' cabin, in which there
were besides himself two or three mem
bers of his staff. Other officers may have
entered afterward. He appeared to real
ize that he was besct by u pressing dam
ger, and manifested by manner more than
in words that he was relieved by my arriv-
al as indicating the near approach OF
succor; but there was nothing in his de-
pertinent that the circumstances would
not have justified without d~isparagement
to the character Of a courageous soldier.
Certainly there was none of that mastery
confidence which has since been assumed
with reference to the occasion. After
the first salutation, and as I walked to q.
seat, he remarked that he had just come
in from the front, and held up his sword
to call my attention to an indcntation,
which he said the scabbard had received
from a shot. I did not particularly no.
ticc it, and after inquiring about the pro-
gross of the battle and requesting him to
send steamers to bring up Crittenden's-
division, which was coming into Savan-
nah as 1 left, I proposed that we should
60 ashore. AS we reached the gancway
l noticed that the horses of himself andj
his staff were being taken ashore. III
mounted and rode away, while I walked
up the hill; so that I saw him no mare
until the attack occurred at the Landing
late in the evening. I state these par
ticulars of our meeting with so much de-
tail because n totally incorrect version
of the place, manner, and substance of
the interview has been used to give a
false impression of the state of the battle,
and n false coloring to personal traits,
which are assumed to havc had the issue
in control"

The failure Of eyesight among the

Household Hints.

Tin ware washed in soda water will
look like new.
To keep postage stamps from sticking
together, rub over the head; the natural
oil on the hair oils them.
Salt extracts the juices from meat in
cooking. Steaks ought not therefore to
be salted until they have been broiled.
In darning wooden socks, make the
first layer of stout thread, and the cross
threads of wooden yarn. 1t makes q firm,
smooth darn, which wears we'll.
Try one of the smallest coal oil lamps.
1t looks like a toy, but for a hand lamp
it will make as much light as a good tai
low candle, and will not drop sparks.
Finger marks may be removed from
vanished furniture by the use of q little
sweet oil upon a soft rag. Patient rub
bing with chloroform Will remove paint
from black silk or any other material.

The Pioneer Press at Reduced Prices.

The Pioneer Press at Reduced Prices.
The great northwestern daily wheels
into line with popular prices, but will
fully maintain its high standard.
The following, from u Pioneer Press
editorial of June 18th, tells its own story,
and it will be welcome story to many
who have wanted the Pioneer Press, but
who have felt that its price made the
luxury too expensive:
Following the example of the lead
ing New York and Chicago dailies, the
price Of the Pioneer Press will. from this
day forth, lie reduced to eight dollars per
year for the daily, and to ten dollars for
the daily and Sunday issues, with cor
responding reductions for fractional parts
of year. This reduction is not made in
response to any public demand or to any
complaint of the subscribers of the Pio-
neer Press that it has stood alone in the
Northwest in adhcring to the higher
prices till recently standard with all the
great dailies. On the contrary, it is the
unanimous testimony of the agents and
circulators of the Pioneer Press that its
great superiority over all other news
papers in its field is SO manifest and SO
universally conceded that the question of
price is never raised. No more conclu-
sive proof could be gwen Of the strong
hold which the Pioneer Press has acquir-
ed upon public favor by its recognized
superiority in every department of
journalism than the complete failure of
cut-throat competition to maize any inns
preston upon the solid phalanx of its
circulation. But the Pioneer Press is not
content to maintain its circulation unim-
pared. BY offering paper vastly supe-
rior to any of its local competitors at the
reduced price announced to-day, it hopes
to add many new subscribers to its al
ready magnificent list. In common with
the leading dai!ics Of Now York and
Chicago, it recognizes the fact that this is
an era Of low prices, and it owes it to its
large and generous constituency and to
the entire public to furnish them the
leading newspaper of this great north
western empire al least MS cheaply as the
leading newspapers of Chicago are fur
Aished to their readers. 1t owes them
the further duty, while reducing the
price, of maintaining the high standard
Of the Pioneer Press. It will do more
than this. 1t will furnish, its readers u
better paper fas less money than hereto
tore. 1t proposes to deserve not only all
the support it has been receiving, but a
large and substantial increase of popular
favor.
The new rates for the Pioneer Press
are as follows; Daily, (not including Sum
day. in advance, year $500; 6 months
800; 8 months 500; 6 weeks $1OO; 1
month 70cts. Daily and Sunday, in adj

NOV'ESTO.

Independence day was celebrated by
a picnic Oh Monday, which was we'll at
tended and pissed of very pleasantly.
One OF the main features of the day was
a base ball match between the Carlisle
and home clubs, which, after keen con-
test resulted slightly in favor of the home
club. There was All entire absence of
disputes, and our boys count the Carlisle
club gentlemen. Games took place af-
forwards i'll which good number took
part. The most exciting part of the pro.
gram WIS the tug-of-war, between the
married aid single men, and the mar
ried men passed over the line after a
desperate pull.

There is no doubt in the minds of all
who are judges of such matters, that our
wheat crop will not average, all over, 10
bush. per acre. The barley crop is near.
ly total failure and the cat crop is not
mucl, better. There have not fallen three
inches of water at this point since last
August; but the real cause was the frost
OH the fifth of June, which, froze off oil
the stool and only left the main stock.
The chances are that hit had had plenty
ofrain it would have thickened up again,
but the continued drouth left it no
chance.

Communication.

Editor of PIONEER EXPRESS.
In the issue of July End. saw an edi-
torial headed Farmers Alliance" which
1 have carefully read and must say Iagree
with most of the sentiments expressed
therein. AS you have kindly offered
the use of the columns of The PIONEER
ExrERss to those who have suggestions to
make, will venture to offer few re-
marks in reference to that organization.
At present have not the honor to be o
member, but have endeavored to gather
all information available in reference to
the workings of that association. I have
came to the conclusion that it is q step
taken in the right direction, calculated to
advance the interests Of the farmers.
So far as my observation goes no asso-
citation got up for purposes Of business or
mutual improvement can hold together
long after it begins, as an association, to
make politics its business, or attempt
within itself, to control public offices.
Agricultural interests are at the foun.
dation OF the countys prosperity, yet
VIC cannot get along without business
men. Each class is dependent on the
other, and both should try, as far as pos
sible, to work in harmony. 1t will not
pay either party to unite to crush the
other. don't believe the history of any
country will show that either has pros
pcred without the other.
l don't mean that farmers should not
take deep interest in politics. It is the
attempt to work within themselves and
exclude others that seems to me unwise.
l am a falmer and would like to hear
from other farmers OH this subject.
Hoping have not trespassed too much
on your valuable space, remain, &C.,
FARMER.
