"Cut him down, men! Cut him down but
do not fire." cried one in command.
Harry knew well what the order meant
that their force was small and that they
feared to rouse his troopers; so, shouting
to the top Of his voice for help, he boldly
set his back against a tree and faced his
enemies. Nor was his cry UNDECIDED. With
a loud "'Rah!'' the Michigan boys came
trooping over the green sward and the
Confederates fed to the recesses of the
wood Even Alphonse Lecroix managed to
gather together his half-stunned senses
and crawl to q place Of safety.
;sFaith! it was a close call for you,
Major" Captain Gore, who had succeeded
to the command Of Harrv's troop, said,
ssBut what were you doing out in the woods
here alone?"
Harry flushed scarlet, but hoarse cries OF
indignation from a thicket close by dis.
tracted Cores attention and spared him the
pain of explanation. With the rest he ran
to the scene of the disturbance. Well
might his gallant troopers utter loud threats
OF vengeance; for stretched upon the
ground lay one Of their comrades, a man they
had missed two days before, bound with
thin rope so tightly that his lacerated wrists
were streaming with BLOOD, while his swollen
tongue and torn lips were tied back with a
common piece of whip-cord.
Tenderly they bore the poor fellow to
camp, but it was long ere he could make
them understand what had befallen him.
Then they learned that he had been set
upon by small band Of Mosoby's men,
who had been lowering round the command
and, when noon was near, Winthrop elected

croix had been with his torturers from the
hour they had captured him till he had
tainted with pain in the thicket, where they
found him gagged and bound. Now, if the
Frenchman had been in the woods all the
previous day, how could he have been
present at Kate Frobisham's sick bedside
q dozen miles away? Pshaw The whole
story was he concocted to entrap him
into the meshes of the enemy. Then aigreat
exultaut Joy possessed him to think that
the woman be loved was safe; though, even

The American House, large hotel at

o'clock last Sunday morning. A dis

says:
At least six persons were burned to
death-perhups more. Three bodies
were taken out this afternoon, and only
one was identified. This one was that
of Patrick Blaine, Canadian traveller.
Half dozen mon appeared at the Sec
oud story windows, and three Of them
jumped into blankets spread for them
in the streets, the others falling back in
to the flames before the horror-stricken
crowd. One man carried the PROSTATE

able to arouse, out of the burning hotel
and Ibid him down. The man awoke
and, with wild yell, rushed back into
the fire. The girls who wore employed
in the hotel were so Mortified by the
awful fate TINT seemed to confront them
that it was with difficulty that they were
forced to lelve tue doomed hotel.
Several men, who We're asleep i'll the

and it is pretty certain they persisted.

buck lambs for mutton, and occasion

dollars. have lost but few sheep by

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Agricultural Truth a Unit.


In an article under the heading ''Cul-
tivation of Corn" Major j. II. Dent
says: II had visit from and old, ex-
perienced Vermont farmer who had
become rich from farming, and in look
ing at our farms and mode of cultiva-
ton he remarked that Unless grass
and stock were raised on our farms, in
q few years we would have no soil to
cultivate, for no lands could last so
constantly cultivated under the plow.'"
TO the above sound Northern con-
ception, Georgia's model farmer re-
plies: 1--WE see it taking place, and
have resorted to terracing to save them;
but nothing will save them and main
tain their fertility like grass, clover
and the small grain cops. Let the Gull
tivation of grain and grass and the
raising of stock be enlarged, and the
planting of cotton be curtailed.
The rem rks of the Vermont farmer
call to mind another farmer born and
reared in the cold climate of that
Northern State, who, emigrating to
| Western New York in the first decade
of this century. made fortune by
farming and did not have a pillow on
his farm. His plan was to convert,
through the organizing power of grass
and the COW, air and water into milk,
butter, cheese and money, with no
pillow to aid the soil in wasting fertility.
In an early day before the Erie canal
was made, when it cost two bushels OF
wheat in Western New York to send
one bushel to tide water on the Hudson
river, butter and cheese were taken in
boats and on RATS down the Chenango
and Suequehanna rivers to Baltimore
and other distant markets. Wearing
out land in producing crops which are
worth less than the raw material
consumed in making them, is
one of the worst mistakes iK
American agriculture. 1t is bad enough
to throw away honest, hard work or
the farm by misapplied tillage; but tc
incur double loss, loss of plant food
as well as of labor, makes such farm
ing very Improbable industry. To
tell the plain truth in the plainest
manner, how many million laborers in
this great nation of farmers consume
in part the earth's natural fertility tt
the injury of mankindp Our present
system of tillage and husbandry has
come to us by inheritance. 1t has
{ spread almost hopeless sterility ovel
vast areas of Alaska, Africa, Europe
and America. 1t works the soil
whether deep or shallow, precisely az
a miner works gold mine-he takes
all that he can find that is worth hav
ing, and then opens "a new placer OF
plantation elsewhere. Restitution o
plant food corrects this evil in SOM
degree. The restitution made is ap
to be defective with diminished capita
in long cultivated fields. = Southern

Negro Alliances.

J. j. Rogers, of Apex, N. c., gives
some facts about the Alliances being
organized among the negroes. He
says: 1.-THE colored Farmers Alliance
is separate and distinct organization
from the white Alliance. 1t is regu-
larly chartered, and according to its
constitution is composed of colored
members alone. Its principal objects
are to educate the colored race, to
make them more Industrious, make
them more frugal, more reliable, more
thoughtful, more faithful, better peo-
pie, better citizens, and to better the ir
condition financially. The or
der originated in Texas, on
the 10th day of December, 1886,
by sixteen colored men and cit
liens of Texas. They set forth
their declarations of purposes and
assigned reasons why they desired to
incorporate and organize for them
selves.
1t is true that the colored Alliance is
spreading rapidly, now being in ten
different States, with general super.
intendent in each State. / have &C.
cepted the position as general super.
intendent for North Carolina think
the colored alliance is organized with
good intentions and with the hope OF
accomplishing much good to the race
for which it is organized. And, too
If kept separate as it is organized,
and only aided by the members of the
white Alliance and all other good peo'
pie, it will work out great good to
both white and colored. "-Raleigh IN.

A GREAT mistake perhaps was made when
Dr. Sherman named his great remedy
Prickly Ash BITTERs; but it is presumed
that at that time all remedies for the blood,
etc, were called Bitters Had he called ii
Prickly Ash "Regula7or," Curative" or
almost anything out Bittcrs, it undoubtedly
would have superseded all other prepara-
tons of similar character. The name Bit
tiers is misleading; it is purely medicine,
and can not be used as beverage.
