Graham Davis, of Nowbcrne, N

Most Of the few persons who were

the close Of tho war General Iloke met

For this ard other acts OF gallaHtry
Wood was made commissioned officer
by President Davis, under authority Of
a law providing expressly for such
cases. But tho brave fellow did not
outli,e the struggle in which he hal
borne himself so well. lie came TO bis
Geath near The end Of the war through
trCachery, and he met it with the same
feaIlessness that had characterized bis
previous career. After the evacuation
OF Wilmington, in February. 1865, the
Confederate forces lay for a short time
on the Northeast Cape Fear river, about
ten miles Dor.h Of that city. While
they were there Wood was sent down
the right bank Of the main river to OBJ

Of Wilmington, in Brunswick county.

house and emphasized the invitation by
adding: "Some Of your friends are

immediate surrender. For reply be

him and enGeavOIed to escape. lie was
shot down, however, but not, i. was

brave. Modest and unassuming as he
was brave, no one would have suspected

before which the successful democratic
candidates addressed the public. The
street celebration was of q calmly exhil-
atipg nature Inside the n%elgh5oring
saloons the jubilee was loudest and
longest and the day and its events were
celebrated in earnest. 1t was q glorious
victory.
Mr.. John Foster, city marshal of
Chamberlain, is attending court in
Yankton in his capacity of deputy
United States marshal. Mr.. Foster is
the model officer of this section, poss-
easing all the gentlemanly qualifications
of a thorough Dakotaian and more sand
than a mule can draw, fguratlvely
speaking. Chamberlain at one time
was a first class place for the efforts of a
law and order league, and it was ut that
time sadly in need of a man who under
stood the nature of a COW boy or a bull
whacker, when such personages struck
town with their pockets bullying out
with cash. Mr.. Foster was appointed
marshal of that place and has since held
the office.

ARTIFICIAL STONES.
Close limitations OF Diamonds, Rubies and
Other Precious Gems.

ClOAS limitations OF DlomOnuS, huDieA ana
Other Precious Gems.
The ruby and sapphire have been
closely initiated by Frenzy and Fell. two
French chemists. and the chief interest
in this process is that the artificial
stones possess essentially the chemical
composition of the real ones. To pro-
,luce these, equal weights of alumina
and red lead are heated to red heat
in IN earthenware crucible. A vitreOus
substance is formed. which consists of
silicate of lead and crystals of white
corundum. To convert this corundum
into the artificial ruby. it is necessary
to fuse it with about two per cent, of
bichromate of potassium. while to OBJ
tain the sapphire. the little oxide of
cobalt and a very small quantity of
bichromate of potassium must be em-
ployed. The stones so produced pos
sess at least very nearly the hardness

is peculiar kind of glass. the manu-
facture of which was brought to great
degree of perfection some fifty years
ago by Donault- Weiland. of Paris. The
finest quality of paste demands extreme
care in the choice of the materials. and
in melting. etc. The basis of it, in the
hands of the expert manufacturer just
named. was powdered rock crystal or
quartz. The proportions he took We're
six ounces of rock crystal. nine ounces
and two drachms of red lead. three
ounces and three drachms Of pure car
Donate of potash. three drachms of
boracia acid. and six grains of white
arsenic. The product thus manufact-
ured was extremely beautiful. but
rather expensive. compared with the
prices now charged for artificial jewels.
1t has never been surpassed in brillian-
cy. but of late years the great purity of
the potash and lead oxyde used. and
the improvements in the furnaces and
methods of heating them. have all
tended to reduce the price of the

Experience has taught most English
farmers to keep the silage out of the
stable where the cows are kept, and to
require men who handle the product to

-Rotted corn-cobs are a valuable
fertilizer on any soil that is deficient in
potash, and are worth saving for this
purpose alone, while if rotted with
manure they are considerably more
valuable. and in cleaning up the hog
pen considerable pains should be taken
to gather up and mix them with the
manure .iibany Journal.
1t was at one time supposed thai,
ihe more dirt a fowl ate with lis food
the better. but we now know that when
the hens want dirt they can procure it
without assistance. We know also
that eating dirt induces disease. and the

food in any manner except in trOughs
or on 4 board.-Prairie Farmer.

Every bee master should take
special pains in the spring to ascertain
constantly the amount of store each
hive contains II he has uncapped
most of the honey, and this has resulted
in a larger supply being required to
maintain the increasing number of
bees, it is evident the hive will starve
unless sirup is applied to it. or honey
in considerable quantity is being
gathered. A stimulated hive requires
additional care in this respect. and its
wants must be supplied artiiicially if
they are not satisfied naturally.-N f..

inexpensive and Becoming Cashmere suits
for House Wear.
Cashmere will remain in favor fol-
house dresses. rs it may be worn i'm this
climate at almost all seasons of the
year; hence the shelves of the retail
shops are filled with large importations
of all the old favorite colors and with
some new spring shades. Lavender,
heliotrope. pansy and violet shades are
in great quantities; blue of brighter
hues is seen, also the clear china blue.
the gray-blue. and dull India blue:
grays in pale tints and light almond
colors are largely imported, and there
are many of the green and olive shades
that have of late been so fashionable in
Paris. Ten yards are bought for .
dress. with enough velvet of darker
shade for plastron vest and collar. or
else watered silk is chosen instead of
the velvet, and is used as pointed revers
from throat to bust. with pIastron
between. while the space below is laced
together Two or three wide plaits Of
watered silk will give the skirt pretty
side panel, and the remainder may
have long plated apron and straight
side breadths Ii the fan-plaited apron
is preferred. the silk should be plated
down the middle from belt to foot, and
there should be breadth of the silk
gathered in the back of the skirt, with
half breadth of cashmere on each
side of it. This will make full straight
drapery. as all back drapery is now
held in a very narrow space. Awatered
sash may trim one side instead of .
plated panel. A lavender cashmere
with pansy-colored velvet, or dark blue
with watered silk of the same shade. or
one of the new green or red cashmeres
with black watered silk. will be found
a pretty and becoming dress for home.
and if made at home will cost very little
