Uses of Coal Ashes.
Our Country Home.


A friend Of mine, years ago, had some currant-
bushes from which he was able to harvest scarce
ly any fruit. The borer was the destroyer His
neighbors had long before given up their bushes,
as they deemed it impossible to grow crop My
friend conceived the idea of spreading coal ashes
about his bushes. and the results surprised none
more than himself. for, from that day to this,
have the borers left him coldly alone,
and every season his bushes bear fruit
in plenty. Our own currant and goose
berry bushes have similar treatment,
and we grow fruit most successfully. We have
found coal ashes equally effective as prevent
i've against borers in other cases. A plentiful
mixture of ashes with soil has kept the radish
maggot from our radish bed, so that we have an
abundance Of good vegetables.
Another excellent place where coal ashes may
he we'll used is on the dirt walk. Few unstoned
walks are better than the well-made ash walk
for it is solid and retains its form under most
trying circumstances Where coal ashes are
spread On the walk we have found less weeds to
grow, and better path as result In between
cobblestones placed for paving ashes make fine
packing
AS fertilizer coal ashes practically have no
value.

time to come but it is none the less the result of
the development of genuine prosperity that
promises to make further substantial progress.
The fact that trade and commerce in Europe as
we'll as in other quarters Of the commercial
world continues to be dominated by depression,
is not without its influence here, and is mate
rial factor with respect to the future, for the
trading interests of the whole world are too
closely linked together by wire and steam COM
munication, as well as a community of interests,
not to be affected to greater or less extent by
the influences of prosperity or depression in one

preston by overproduction, and this country
has been the first to escape from its influence"

A ROMANCE OF A RING.

How q Young Woman in Georgia Managed
to Retain a Precious Keepsake.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.
Judge Roney delivered his decision in a case
based upon q peculiar state of facts and not
without romantic interest. The names of the
parties are not necessary TO the recital of the
case. Suffice it to say that an attractive young
lady of this county was sued in this
city by a young man. equally well
Owing to some imperfection in the service
of the notice upon the young lady she paid no at
tention to it. and made no defense in the justice
court. Judgment was therefore entered against
her, and the justice. constituting it in the nature
of a bail trover procedure. q constable was sent
to secure the ring. The young lady had the
ring upon her finger, and refused pointedly and
positively to surrender it. The constable retired
in good order and reported the state of affairs.
The plaintiff in the case thereupon took out a
possessory warrant to empower the constable to
get the ring with or without the defendants con-
sent
At this stage Of the case the young lady came
forward by her attorney, w. FL. Fleming, and.
set out that the case was not az action in trover
but assumpsit; further that the ring had been
given to her by the brother of the plaintiff. who
was now dead, as an engagement ring; that she
had been in the peaceful and undisputed posses
sion of the same for four years; that it was q
cherished memento of her dead lover, and she
refused to relinquish it. The case came before
Judge Roney upon certiorari from the justice
court, and, after reviewing the foregoing facts,
he decided that the ring should remain in the
possession of the young lady.
The gallant members Of the bar who were
present heartily concurred in the decision, and
some of them said at side bar they would have
left the ring in the possession of the young lady
even if a strain of the statutes had been neces-

Attempts have been made to prove that Long

after the battle of Chancellorville. And says
General Meade. in q letter TO General Peck;
Lees army at Gettysburg was from forty TO

and 1t rs only reasonable to infer that this differ

Both sides found lessons in the siege of Suf-
folk Lee did not again seriously weaken his
army, no matter what prize seemed TO offer.
Our own War Department began to abandon
useless posts, particularly those to which the
enemy could come without hirdrauce by rail.
Suffolk was evacuated a few weeks after the
siege, the new defenses of Norfolk being on the
suburbs of Portsmouth. First, however about
twenty miles of each railroad track were de.
stroyed. and the rails placed where the confeder-
ates could not reach them. The troops who had
defended Suffolk for a year or more. losing hun

themselves, or good for the cause, were trans
ferred to larger fields of action, and took honor
able part in engagements which. if no more
bloody in proportion to the numbers engaged,
had distinct influence in the work of closing the
great conflict
But knowing the facts above set forth, and
that a greater siege that did not end disastrously
to the defenders did not occur during the war,
the survivors on both sides cannot help Temporal

some mention of the affair, a listener says:

Atlanta Constitution.
An army officer told me an anecdote of Gen.
Hancock, about his love of dignity and dis

He was in command of the train which brought
General Grants remains from Mount McGregor
to New York. General Hancock and his staff were
in the coach next to the last. In the rear car
was a party of Pennsylvania militia officers.
who were popping an occasional bottle of cham
payne and smoking quite socially. General
Hancock saw from his car what was going on IN
the rear. 1t did not COMFORT with his ideas of
the proprieties on so solemn an occasion. and,
calling the conductor, he said:
will you please present my compliments to
those gentlemen, with the request that they
cease smokingT
In q few moments the conductor returned
with the announcement that the convivial Off
GERS returned their compliments with aperemp.
tory declination to relinquish their cigars.
"Where is the next switchlr asked Hancock.
about five miles below" replied the con
ductor.
"When you reach it. if the smoking on that
car has not ceased, (Which it on a side-track and
leave it You may tell the gentlemen what I
have said"
In two minutes there was not q cigar to be
seen in the appended coach. Its occupants
knew that Hancock meant just what he said.
