were on hand in force early, prepared
to preserve order and quell any
demonstrations Of violence that might
occur. Lieutenant Shepperd, with an
extra squad of officers, patrolled the

occurred during the first working
hours of the day. The Adams and

tient will suffuse the brain, and when

It is q favorite pastime of our country
population during the long winter even
ings to gather round the 6re and crack
and eat hickory-nuts. It Is an amusement,
too, peculiarly American and for the SIM

the nuts to be had in sny abundance. Per-

with thinner shells are readily cracked at
the table. But In America, In those dis
tricts where tho peanut does not take the
place Of other nuts the cracking Of the
hickory still continues Whether 1t
be the pecan Of Texas and Illinois, Or the
shell-bark or mocker-nut of the Central or
Eastern States, tho amusement is the
same. They are the best nuts the forests
of North America produce, and some Of
them are thought to be superior In flavor
to the much esteemed English walnut
Year after year have hundreds and thou
sands of bushels of the shell-barks the
hickory-nuts par srcellsnee, been gathered
in various parts Of the country. Among
these, few can have failed to notice the
many differences they present. Some are
small and nearly round; some are long,
narrow and angular; some have thick
shells, and some thin ones as any one who
has cracked his fingers along with the shell
can bear witness.
According to evolutionary doctrines,

indication either Of low state of develop

advancement Various facts show the lat
ter to be the case with the shsll-bark hick-
ory. The first stages of the onward march
must be sought far back in prehistoric
times, for it boasts an ancient il not an

moth roamed the forests Of the Ohio val
Icy; before the soil of Louisiana was yet
above the oceans waters; before the Ohio
had become tributary to the mighty Mis-

range had been elevated above the waste
