JACKSON AND THE
CADETS.

1homas NJ Boyd, in November Bivouac.
My introduction to him, when | was a
,adet and fourth class man, is as follows:
IN September Major Jackson returned
'tom his summer leave of absence, was at
his post preparing the second class for its
nurse in applied mechanics. l was, in
.adet parlance, "a plebe," had been in
sdhool about month, and had heard from
|he old cadets wonderful stories of Major
'ackson's strictness in adhering to discip-
ine One day about 10 a. m, as l was go
he to my CHARTERS from the classroom, |
was hailed by an officer, as l supposed and
allied into room on the second stoop of
tbs barracks. There 1 found several ca
dets, dressed in blue coats, with swords
and sashes. The one who had hailed me
sid rather sharply to a secretary, who
vas seated by table and busily writing.
Make out that requisition and send 1t by
Ibis plebe to the quartermaster, and you,
allow. take it to that Office" pointing to
4 boom. sect the officer there to sign it,
and then go up town and get what it calls
7or. Be quick about it, l must have it
hsre before dinner roll-call." l touched
Nv cap, as | had been taught when
IA smoke or was spoken to by an Of
sIter, and walked briskly to the door of
5Ae room that had been designated. |
Knocked, a cadet opened the door, and
&sked what | wanted. l Informed him
hat had paper for the officer IN there.
He took in the situation, and allowed me
q enter. walked up to the officer, who
has seated on rostrum, looking at
book before him. Before he had time to
faise his eyes, had dotted my cap and
MAS presenting my requlsition in as polite
\ manner as | could assume. He took the
paper. gave it hasty glance, and without
changing countenance, pointed to bench
near him and ordered me to wait until he
dismissed the class. The cadets who were
not at 5he blackboards gave me significant
looks. and with difficulty concealed their
merriment
I was woefully uncomfortable, out akept
INV seat until the recitation was concluded
and class dismissed. The officer or IN
structor then addressed me with KIND
Pleasant smile on his face. DO you
know what this paper contains?" had
risen from the seat l had occupied and
stood before him, cap in hand; In reply to
his question. told him how it came into
NV possession, and what 1 was ordered to
ID with it. That did not know one half
HE officers, and as the gentleman VINO
have me the order wore blue coat, SASH
ma sword, I supposed he had authority
He said he did not censure me at all, tfat

Joke on me- The order brought was
A bogus requisition for high-heeled SOCKS

order. and when advised of its absurd ma
ture my embarrassment was painful DC
observed this, and to relieve me, asked
how long 1 had been at the Institute IRON
what part of the state 1 hailed, etc; His

roll on. THOU DAnk BLuEsEAr

BY MRS. N. L. WRITTEN. OF AUSTIN, TENAs.
Lovingly inscribed to the memory Of those who
persisted in the fearful Storm at Sabine Pass, Ocso
Der u 1886, where farms were laid waste, homes
were desolated and whole families pershed in the
roaring, seething waters
Roll on, thou dark blue sea- Thy ftful surges
Have swept full many to an early doom
Thy moaning waves have chanted funeral dlrges
Ger those whoperished In lifes joyous bloom.
Roll on, roll on, thou daIk and restless bilowl
Since jewels fair repose upon thy breast;
III cir weary heads upon thy bosom pillow;
Their hearts grown cold and chill now calmly
rest
Roll on, dark sea. Where loyelit homes were
smiling;
Where villages in quiet beauty STOOD
All, all are gone lured by thy fond beguiling
Borne down before the dark and cruel flood.
There were women fair with their streaming
treeses;
Babes clinging still TO mothers breast;
And lovely children With their sweet caresses
All, all went down in thy depths to rest.
There were fathers brave; there were blooming
daughters;
And husbands, lovers, powerless to save;
Tossed to and fro on thy angry waters
To sink at last to a briny grave.
Roll on, thou deep sea! oh, what pen so gifted
The record dark of thy whime can keeps
Or the dying shrieks of the lost who drlfted
Far, far away DER thy bllowy deepg
Who can paint their despair' The prayers they
were breathing,
As their forms chill and numb on the pillows we! o
tossds
Or the rending sight when the dawn was wreathing
The wreckstrewn shore Where 80 many were
lost.
The storm King, have held their;demoniac orgless
Have dashed thy dark waves meath their ptilees
feet;
They have revelled and reigned on thy wild rest
less surges,
Till their pathway is marked by ruin complete
Roll on thou dark seal Even iron.clad steamers
Are but playthngs and ltoys to be shiyered by
thee
On thy tempest.lashCd bosom-alas, for the
dreamers
Who sank to the depths of the loud-soundng eea !,

A SENSATION.

Why is it that three bottles of B. B. B. are sold
Ia Atlanta TO one of any other blood remedy, and
Twice as much consumed in the state of Georgia
Is any other preparation! No one need take our
word, but simply ask the druggists Ask the peo-
Bile. They are competent witnesses. Six houses
In Atlanta are buying B. B. b. in five and ten gross
lots, and some of them buy as often as every two
months. Why these unprecedented sales here at
home with so little Advertising! Modesty forhids
he making a reply. Had B. B. B. been before the
bubble quarter or half century, 1t would not
be necessary to be bolstered up with clutches OF
page advertisements now. Merit will conquer and
1own money.

Relief and Cure

The immediate use of Ayers Cherry
PectoraI, in the earlier stages of throat and
lung diseases, is highly important. Every
hours delay is dangerous, and may prove
fatal. L. G. Reynolds, druggist, Dixfeld,

wonderful remedy. In the fall Of 1875 1
was taken with a sudden Cold, accompa-

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4. 1886
With December going and almost as
pleasant as May. and January almost
warm enough for linen busters, IL is
not to be expected that trade would
open out very briskly. Added to the
temperature is the fact that the annual
settlements for the old year are not yet
completed. nor the invoices, customary
at the beginning of the new.
The wheat market is weak and lower
but active. and stocks heavier, with
quotations about az they were one week
ago. Dull news from New York and
England. where large offerings are re-
ported, continue to affect this market
unfavorably to holders The receipts
at this point for the week are 2S5, 345
bushels.
Corn is weak with only moderate
amount of business. Shippers are buy
ing fairly and pay a shade advance for
low grades. but regular quotations are
scarcely different from the earlier DAYS
Of last week There is at present no in
dication of an ad.ance TO exceed 40 cts
bv May. if the price even reaches that
figure.
We have no change to note in the
movement Of oats or other grains.
Cattle-Trade slow and except for
select lots prices remain unchanged
