The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-07-01

The following is from letter written
by H. G. Spafford in Jerusalem, under
date of April ID, to Mr.. Chandler of Chi
cage:
Palestine has now very different APP
pearance from the one worn when you
were here. 1 have never seen the coun-
try looking SO beautifully. The rains
have been abundant (the rainfall about
thirty inches up to the present time), and
the crops are all in most promising con-
dition. The wild flowers, too, surpass,
this year, anything we have seen before
in variety and beauty. In two hours
walk yesterday afternoon, through fields
north of the city, gathered bouquet of
cyclamen, ranunculus, blood-drops, flax,
wild-pea, and clover blooms, etc., etc.,
which was simply glorious. never saw
a more beautiful collection of flowers in
my life. 1t would seem that sight of
it, without other proofs, would be suffi-
cient to suggest to one whether the curse
which had so long lain upon this land
had not begun to pass away, and whether
the set time to favor Zion had not

NATIVES OF COUNTY CORK.

Potatoes Twenty-One Times n Week-Kn
Typical African Interview.
The diet of the Irishman in this part
of the country is, of course, potatoes and
milk. As he himself puts il, he has po-
tatoes twenty-one times a week. In the
event of a blight, such as the historic
one, the result in certain parts of Ireland
could scarcely be less disastrous than at
any former period. If one may Judge
from the physique of his consumers. the
diet requires no recommendation of the
medical faculty, for a more stalwart race
it would be difficult to find. In this cor
ner of the country so long preserved, ="
we should expect TO find the natural
Irishman, and we certainly found him,
The native Irish is almost universally
spoken; but at the same time the major
ity of the younger generation speak Eng
lish with brogue of the most exquisite
flavor.
Here, also, we have the Irishman in
the typical attire to which caricaturists
have accustomed us. To the visitor from
the other island, it is ludicrous picture
to see him in tall hat, blue tailed coat,
and knee-breeches at work in his
wretcbed plot, like philosopher out for
a little recreation. 1t is not so much the
style of his garments, however, that
makes their picturesqueness; it is their
positively miraculous raggedness. We
feel that this raggedness has quite passed
the stage of disreputability, and has
actually become ornamentation. But it
is above all the hat that fixes the atten-
ton. We have often closely inspected
it, and our wonder never ceased how, in
the course of single life, any hat, how
ever weather-beaten and however
brutally used, could attain that pre-
Adamite look.
1t is the great charm of travel in Ire
land that one can become acquainted
with its people in so short a time and on
such easy terms. The Irishman is the
most approachable of human beings, and
as the very Irishman the stranger wishes
to know is in most cases his own lord
and master, intercourse is thus made
doubly easy. If in the course of a soil
tary walk you should desire the solace of
a little conversation you have but to take
your seat on one of the turf walls that
form the fences in these parts of the
country. If you are a smoker and pro
duce your pipe, you will present an adj
ditional inducement. Before you are
well seated you viii be saluted with: "a
fine day sir, God be praised" and care
less figure will be seen approaching with
a spade or pickax over his shoulder.
Sharing your tobacco with him it will
remain with yourself to conclude the in
terview. Before ten minutes have passed
you will have had the outlines of his fam
lily history, and his views on things in
general, not even excepting his priest.
At the end of as many hours conversa-
ton as you please he will speed you on
your way with fervent God preserve
you longl" and part with you as if you
had been his lifelong friend.->>-'

A Cavalry March In the Night.

To one not familiar with a cavalry
night march in the face of the enemy it
may be difficult to comprehend why it
should differ materially from an advance
by daylight, but to those who have had
some experience it is easily understood.
On night march, in order to guard
against surprise, flankers are thrown out
on either side, who are supposed to keep
abreast of the advance guard. These
hankers are under the supervision of the
officer in charge of the advance, and no
matter how dark the night is he must
keep them sufficiently deployed to pro-
tect the column, and yet always have
them well in hand. These fiankers en-
counter all sorts of obstacles, such as
bitches, ravines, fences, underbrush,
woods, etc., and necessarily make slow
progress. The time thus occupied COM
pels the main body in the rear to make
innumerabIe stops and starts, which are
not only tedious and wearying but an
noying and irksome, and hard upon the
horses, often causing the men to grow
impatient and the officers to become ir-
ritable.-Capt. w. E. Miller in Philadel-
phia Press.
The Pulaski citizen. [volume] (Pulaski, Tenn.) 1866-current, 1886-07-01

naturally comes on the wire and wouId
surely break it on heavy roll of the
ship, as it has done once, causing loss
of ], 600 fathoms of wire.
When everything is ready the shot is
dropped overheard and the wire runs off
the reel at rate of 1000 fathoms in ten
minutes. AS soon as the plunger reaches
the bottom the hook to which the shot is
fastened turns over by the slackening of
the strain, and so releases it. A tell-tale
on the axle of the reel tells how many
fathoms of wire have run off. A steam
engine then winds the wire with the
plunger on the reel, minus the shot,
which forever remains at the bottom of
the ocean. The plunger consists of a
hollow brass tube ten inches long, in
which is inserted worm with cup ON
the lower end. The worm serves for
the purpose of twisting the cup into the
bed of the ocean and fetching up
sample from the bottom. The contents
of the cup, after the water is drained off,
are put in small bottles and labeled with
latitude, longitude, and depth. These
bottles are packed into boxes and sent
to the photographic office in Wash
ington.
When under steam alone the engines
are stopped for sounding, but when I'M
der sail alone steam mas to be gotten up
and all sail taken in, as the ship has to
lie perfectly quiet and to be under con-
troll, which is impossible under sail.
Soundings were taken about 100 miles,
the depth usually being 1000 or 3, 900
fathoms. The greatest encountered was
$500 fathoms or about four and half
miles. In latitude 80 degrees south and
longitude 30 degrees west shoal water
of about 400 or 500 fathoms was found,
revealing the existence of range of
mountains on the bottom of the ocean.
These the Challenger, an English man
of-war, on a deep-sea sounding expedi-
ton around the world ten years ago, had
failed to discover. That day fifteen
soundings were taken, one every five
miles, till deep water was found again.
The cost of a shot is 81. Lieut.. Mark,
the navigator, had charge of the work,
and it required a quartermaster, an as
sistant and fireman to run the engine
to take sounding, which altogether
lasts about an hour. Should the shot
fail to discharge, as it did once during
the cruise, the whole has to be wound up
again by hand, which takes three hours
for a depth of 5000 fathoms, as the en-
CINE is not powerful enough to wind up
wire, shot and all.-Baltimore Sun.

THE COST OF TREE-PLANTINe.
A Few Figures on the Subject-Scare
About a Timber Famine.

A Few Figures on the Subject-Scare
About a Timber Famine.
In estimating the value of property,
its actual cost is commonly considered a
fair measure, and yet how shall we esti-
mate an acre of virgin forest growth on
this basis? Trees from 100 to 200 years
old can not be duplicated at the asking
Nothing on earth to-day is selling so
cheaply, as compared with the cost of
reproduction as forest trees. Volumes
have been written urging the bushes
tree-planting, even based upon its pecuni-
airy advantages. Yet, however beneficial
such an industry may prove to its pro-
jector, or to the locality in which the
planting is pursued, its possible profit
is totally eclipsed by the present value
and future prospect of acres of original
forest.
Suppose, for instance, an acre of land
be purchased for So and planted with
forest trees, at a first cost of say $50.
Now, allowing nothing for subsequent
care and cultivation, taxes or other ex-
penses, let us see what the principal and
interest would show at the end of 100
years, the average age of valuable for
CSb bIcCSs IuNSoJCu dO
per cent, would, even at simple inter
est, double every sixteen years; say $40
in sixteen years, $40 in thirty two years,
$3.50 in forty-eight years, $3.50 in sixty
four years, in eighty years 81, 100; in
ninety-six years 1920, representing the
cost and interest of the artificial plant
ing of an acre of forest trees and their
growth to maturity. VIII the natural
impotence of our American people per-
NIT them to raise such century plants"
ON nloney-making basis?
1t may be many years before forest
tree planting will be attempted in New
England on an extensive scale, except
through the stimulus of state or govern
ment bounty, or as matter of sentiment
and regard for the public good. All good
citizens should encourage the planting
Of trees, on a limited scale, at least, by
every land owner whose surroundings
and conditions will warrant. The scare
about timber famine in New England
and Canada is simply nonsense at the
present day. If the timber is far ex-
hausted as some of the orators at for
estry gatherings would have us believe,
if the cost of reproducing timber is at
tendant upon such an expenditure of
money, time and interest as the above
figures indicate, why then is there not
ready sale of timber tracts now seeking
purchasers, in the province of Que
bee, for instance?

reputation as 'man-killer' for them
selves by shooting somebody who bears
the reputation Of being one, just as east
ern pugilists are constantly trying TO
knock out John i. Sullivan. The knOwl-
edge of this keeps the man alwayson the

ozone Promotive of PneumonIa.

The possibility that ozone in the at
mosphere may promote pneumonia by
irritating the lungs was discussed in The
American Meteorological Journal last
fall by DIR. Daniel Draper, director of
the New York Central Park observatory.
In his annual report of 1885, just out,
the doctor further considers this topic
and presents data bearing upon it in the
form of charts. In connection with this
subject he offers a novel suggestion.
Coincident with the wonderful rosy sun
rises and sunsets in the autumn of 1888
and 1884, which have since been the sub
ject of much scientific study, there was
a notable decrease in the amount of
ozone in the air observed in Central
park. DIR. Draper thinks the latter phe-
nomenon may have been due to the
former, and that the brilliant spectacle
in question, by restricting the prevalence
of pneumonia, had some influence, per-
haps, on the sanitary condition of our
eIobe.-Medical Journal.
