A Secret Worth Keeping.

Ne,O York Letter to Chicago Times.
1t is a late hour in the lobby of the same
hotel. man comes in, looks around and
bows to few acquaintance. There is
something in his appearance, in his dress,
which works the impression that he has
seen better days. An acquaintance says,
LET me introduce Maj. Steele"
"Dr. Steele, if you please" the man whom
have described says in courtly way.
DR.. Steele was at the head of the cavalry
that was hurrying Jefferson Davis away
from the pursuing yankees when the head
of the lost cause was overtaken. Mai
Steele had charge of the funds of the co1-
federacy. He had the gold, for although
Lees men were starving and dying from
hunger as rapidly as they were dying from
the effects of bullets, the vaults of the con-
federacy at Richmond were full of gold
You have often heard and seen the inquiry
in print, "What became of the gold that
was taken away from Richmond when
Davis left it," am told that Mai. Steele
could answer that if he wanted to- There
is story that he divided it among the Off
GERS whom Davis designated. Steele's lips
are silent on that subject.

GEORGIA'S CROPS.
Neither Cotton Nor Rice Damaged al
Badly as First Supposed

Neither Cotton Nor Rice Damaged as
Badly as First Supposed.
ATL sYTA, Ca, Oct 5.--Commissioner
Henderson, of the agricultural department,
furnishes the following report of the condi-
ton Of crops Oct. /:
The heavy storms of rain and wind which
occurred during the first twelve DAYS of
September covered the entire state. and
proved very damaging to most crops not
harvested, but especially to cotton
and rice. The storms were most yio-
lent and the rainfall greatest in the east
ern and northeastern sections of the state,
causing great foods in the Savannah and
Ogeechee rivers which were almost without
precedent in the history of the state. The
general reduction of the condition of the
cotton crop on the average of the state was
10 points, or from SIS on Sept. to IS Oct. l.
This is due almost entirely to the heavy
storms.
THE LOSS BY SECTIONS.
In North Georgia the damage was II
points, Middle Georgia IA, Southwest Geor.
gia 3, East Georgia z, Southeast Georgia 10,
showing that the greatest injury occurred
in the valleys of the Savannah and Ogeechee
rivers. The general average condition for
the state is points below that OF Oct /,
1887. 1t is quite evident that the sober
becOuu UnOuRnb OF bne farmers mas reduced
the first estimates of the damage.
The effects of the storms and floods are
also seen in the reduction Of the condition
and prospective yield of corn from % Sept.
j to So on Oct |. The condition is now the
same as that of Oct. l, 1887.
The sugar cane crop is reported but little
under an average, while in fact it is prob.
ably the best crop for several years
Rice is not damaged as much as was frs,
estimated, showing a reduction In southeast
Georgia where the bulk Of the crop is pro
duced) of but four points since Sept. /.
Sweet potatoes have improved three
points, and give promise Of a full crop.

by the friends of the bill, which was that
the direct tax bill should be postponed until
December Is next, with q condition that

will be allowed for debate and vote taken
on it. Speaker Carlisle is said to have
strongly advocated the acceptance of this
compromise.
Mr.. Oates said fine followed his cwn views

did not involve the absolute defeat of the
bill. But he was democrat, and if the
caucus decided against him he wonld abide
BY its decision aud support it with mis- vote.

Gen. washington's Sword.

In the Senate yesterday the bill for the
purchase from Miss Virginia Tayloe Lewis
of sword of Washington for $4,000 was
taken up and read.
Mr.. Cockrell remarked that it seemed
to be very expensive sword, and he in
auired whether there was any Identification
Off.
MIR. Evarts said that it was one OF the five
swords bequeathed by Gen. Washington to
his kindred This matter had now been
brought to the attention of the Senate, and
the price mentioned in the bill was that
fixed by the representative of the !egatee oil
the sword The committee had not felt at
liberty to cheaper the sword.
Mr.. Cockreli said that. he thought the
price exorbitant There was no pretense
that the actual value of the sword was over
500. fit like Gen. Shields swordl had
an intrinsic value it would be different
matter.
Mr. Vest said that be should not vote to
give $50 900 for this sword
Mr.. Voorhees, said that he would just ss
soon vote 100000 for the sword as any 9th
er sum. This was the sword worn by the
man to whom Frederick the Great sent his

of Washington would be regarded by all
mankind as the most sacred of relics. He
suggested that Mr.. Vest offer an amendment
striking out 500, 900 and inserting $50.
Mr.. Veet said he was willing to 60 to any
reasonable length to evidence his veneration
for the memory of Washington.
After remarks favoring the bill by Mr..

Notions ABOUT EATING,-It has been an
old wives notion from way back that GER
tain kinds of food must be avoided because
they tend 10 produce certain kinds of dis
ease. This notion has been fostered by al
legged physicians who publish health jour-
nails, and are always laying down rules about
living which, if any one undertook to follow
literally and scrupulously. would make life
burden from tho cradle TO the grave.
Some years ago DR.. Dio Lewis, who was re-
garded as somewhat OF health expert,
announced that tomatoes were unhealthy,
were the cause cf cancer. loosened and
destroyed the teeth, etc. For generations
boys and girls have been warned not 10
eat go much butter, or their faces would
break out with "butter sores" 1t is an
old time tradition that buckwheat cakes are
productive ofskin diseases, and the Scotch
are said to be cursed with the itch because
they eat 90 much oatmeal. DR.. James c.
White, professor ofdermalology in Harvard
university, in recent article on cutaneous
diseases, pricks some of these annoying ira
ditional bubbles He Gays that unlocked
butter is perfectly harmless food go far as
the skin is concerned and it is difficult to
conceive how any one could have thought
otherwise, unless, possibly, the use of
bad butter in food otherwise indigesti-
BILE may have disturbed the stomach and
produced impure blood. Buckwheat cakes
do not produce cutaneous diseases, un.
less Improperly cooked and eaten hot,
with too much syrup they upset the diges-
ton. Oatmeal is perfectly harmless food,
and the idea that tomatoes cause cancer is
ridiculous. DR.. White says that the eating OF
fruits, nuts and fish may lead to irritation
of the skin in certain individuals, but this
arises from some cause peculiar to the
individual. The notion that certain kinds
of food are detrimental TO the complexion is
q false one. A good digestion anda healthy |
appetite will take care of the skin, and it
matters little what enc eats, if the stomach
