stonewalI jackson and Sunday.

In the winter of '61-'62, while
Jackson's forces were at Winchester,
he sent brigade to destroy the canal
leading to Washington. The expe-
dition proved failure, and he att
tributed it, in some measure, TO the
fact that Sunday had been needlessly
trespassed upon. So, when a second
expedition was planned, he deter
mined there should be no Sabbath
breaking connected with it that he
could prevent. The advance was to
be made early on Monday morning.
On Saturday he ordered my husband
(COl. Preston, at that time on his
staff) to see that the necessary pow
der was in readiness. The quarter
master could not find a sufficient
quantity in Winchester on Saturday,
but during Sunday it was procured.
On Sunday evening the fact in some
way got to Jackson's ears. AT a very
early hour on Monday he despatched
an officer to Shepherdstown for other
powder, which was brought. Then
summoning Col. Preston, he said very
decisively, Colonel, desire that
you will see that the powder which is
used for this expedition Is not the
powder that was procured on Sum
day."-From The Century for October.

The Democratic County Convention
of Hampshire county was held on
Saturday, October 10th. The Hamp-
shire ReUieto, after stating that
Messrs. Jas. A. Gibson, A. L. Pugh
and Alex. Monroe were placed in
nomination, saSs:
Mr.. r. w. Daley, Jr., wished TO
know the position of the several cam
didates on the vital questions before
the country before voting, which sug-
gestion was heartily approved by the
convention. Upon this suggestion,
Mr.. Jas. A. Gibson came forward and
stated that for u. S. Senator he was
for Daniel B. Lucas first and John j.
Davis second, but for no monopolist
under any consideration. Said he
would spurn any man WHO would ride
to the Legislature on free pass:--
He was closely catechised. bat gave
satisfactory and positive answers to
all questions.
Mr.. Pugh said he was for D. b.
Lucas first for u. S. Senator and
against monopolists and free passers.
His answers were straightforward and
satisfactory. Col. Monroe then took
the stand and said he had fought
Camden, monopoly and railroads and
would do so again; said he never did
vote for II. G. Davis and did not
know that he ever would. He would
use his best efforts to send J. J. Davis
or d. B. Lucas to U. S. Senate. He
said that If President Garrett would
offer him free pass for the balance
of his life, he did not know but that
he would take it and he believed any
one else would, though he would not
accept free ride TO the Legislature.

A RemArkable Feat in photography.
LCrofrut in New York World.l


remember photographic feat which
would still be considered very remark
able-indeed, l do not think it has ever
been repeated or paralleled. The late
Theron g. Leland announced lecture
at Clinton hall, on the novelty ofphonog-
raphy, and during his address Mr.. Q.
Edwards Lester, whose figure was ia
miliar, appeared on the platform and
said: 1T is well enough known that
am the New York correspondent of The
London Times. Mr.. Leland is my
amanuensis. will now dictate to him,
in your presence, my regular weekly
letter. He will take it down as fast as
I utter it, put his photographic notes IN
an envelope without reading over, and
seal it in your presence, post it tonight
and it will go abroad by the morning
steamer, and be set up by eomposltor
III The London Times Office who under
stands photography, and 1t will be
printed as you hear it spoken.
The programme was exactly followed
out, and testers letters appeared in The
''Thunderer'' without being revised OF
read over either by the author or re-
porter. This extraordinary triumph OF
the mysterious art gave Leland great
prestige, and his classes were filed with
pupils who caught his own enthusiasm.
He was one of the most industrious
faithful, sincere, humane, brave and
earnest of men.

"Not Afraid of the Cars. -

Bob IngersolI gave the initiative to
an expression that is becoming the pop
ular slang in the east. In delivering
q lecture to the Young Mems Literary
association he was dwelling on the i'm
portance of young men remaining at
home and attending to bushes, if they
had a business, instead of going
west to take chances. Said he: "A
good many eastern people-young peo-
Dle-put the western folks down
as ignorant and unprogressive. They
think there is great need for bank presi-
dents and railroad managers and ma
terial for members of congress"
Then Bob proceeded to explain hat the
western people were pretty. well up IN
the WAYS of the world. said he: They
organize and manage their banks and
other institutions with ability and dis
erection. they build railroads and then
he paused, and with that peculiar ex-
preston by which he give force to a
point he added, ''they are not afraid of
the cars" And so it comes to be I'M
derstood that the person who is not SO
very green SIS not afraid of the cars. "

TELPHERAGE.

By which a nearly continuous stream of
sugar cane or other material may be moved
by means of electric motors, drawing buck
cts, baskets or other containers, along sta
tionary steel rod suspended on posts, the
power being supplied at a central station by
means of steam engine or water power
working an electric dynamo.
This system does not profess to compete
with tramways where the ground is suitable
for such a mode of conveyance, but the cir
cumstanees under which its advantages are
apparent are:
Where the ground is very rough, uneven
or gulchy, or where the gradient ere steep,
as it has no difficulty in drawing load up
an incline of in 10.
Where the space for tramway cannot
well be spared or over swamps or other
ground impracticable for tramways.
1t can be taken along the high road with
much facility, and with little more OBJ
struction to the traffic than by line Of
telephone posts.
1t has the advantage of the overhead wire
rope system without its disadvantages, as
there is not a long wire rope to drag, with
its attendant friction and loss of power,
whilst it can turn on sharp curves.
The main line can be moved to different
positions at moderate expense.
A line is now working at Glynde, in Sus-
sex.

Hens eggs were in great veneratlon
With the ancients The Romans ex-
hibited them with great reverence in
their festivals of Ceres. The Greeks
oonaIly honored them. The japanese
are yery fond of eggs. They eat them
at dessert like fruit, and very often
with oranges. The rich japanese are
very particular concerning them. They
will not eat those of fowls which have
full liberty and feed on what they can
pick up. They must be fed on rice, and
they must lay their eggs in rooms pre-
pared for that purpose.

'SThere are two mistaken ideas about
grindstones in the public mind, P" said
dealer in those articles, whose place
was visited by a reporter. zone is that
they are going out of use and the other
that they explode. Instead of going
out of use, just the contrary is the fact,
for more are used now than ever before.
Why is thisl Because of improved cut
ting machinery that requires the aid Of
grindstones to keep 1t in perfect condi-
ton. As for their exploding, as you
read about every once in while, that's
all nonsense. They do not explode. But
they do break, scattering themselves
about some and hurting people. But
this is due to their being mounted
wrongly, not to anything Of an explo-
sive nature about them"
Where do most of the grindstones
come fromP' was asked.
From France and Germany chiefly.
Some come from England and some
from the western part of this country.
They are found in Ohio, but not at all
in the east. The Ohio stones are good
for rough grinding, but the French and
German ones are the best, because they
can be used for finer work-for fat sur
face grinding and for cutlery. A
great many of them are sent to people
In the far west, even to Nebraska and
California. They are also shipped to
Central America The largest grind
stone we ever sold was fifty-four inches
in diameter and had an eight-inch face.
The size most generally sold is twenty
four inch diameter with three to four
inch face"
f'What do grindstone's cost2''
THE smallest is a three-inch diane

these costs 30 cents, and $2.75 dozen.

A grindstone forty eight inches in diam

WASHINGTON, February 3.-The
Ciyil-Service Commissioners to-day had
an informal conference with the House
Committee on Reform in the Civil Ser
vice, in which they discussed a number
Of the details connected with the civil
service. In reply to Questions as to
whether il were not practicable to
classify Government employees by work
rather than by salaries, the Commission
ers said that. while it was practicable,
a classification by salaries seemed to
them the better plan. They favored
the appointment OF a commission to re-
arrange the classification and salaries Of
department employees, and cited in
stances where the same work was paid
for at different rates 10 different de-
pariments. In reply to Mr.. Blanchard.
Of Louisiana, tia commissioners said
they thought it would require an amend
ment to the ciyiLseryice law TO allow the
commissioners ia making appointments
10 take into consideration the number
Of employ es already in office from the
various States. They did not consider
such an amendment wise, however, as
1t would tend TO render the whole civil
service unpopular with the North and
West. because under it the South would
get all the offices and thus open up Sec
tional issues. Inder the law the South
was now getting a share Of the offices,
and would in time have its proportion
Of the Offices. The commissioners did
not think it wise to do anything which
would make the law unpopular in the
North, where its strength now princi-
pally lies.
