KENTUCKY HEMP.

New York Farmers Make the Experiment.
of Raising 1t with Marked.Succes
TROY, N. Y, Julr 5.-The raising of
Kentucky hemp has been introduced in this
vicinity. This season about thirty farmers
in Rensselaer, and Washington, counties
have tried the experiment with marked
success. Two stalks of hemp eight feetsix
inches high from the farm of ex-Assembly-
man Baucus of Schaghticoke, were brought
to this city to-day. They represent the
average size. Hemp brings about $50 to
the acre, and the success of the experiment
will probably make hemp one of the staple
products of this region.

manded that part of the military de-
partment, as we'll as the left wing of
the Sixteenth Corps, and while the
veterans We're having good time at
home Dodge also desired rest from
active service. But the bushwhackers,
who were numerous and very trouble
some, annoyed him greatly.
Finally, one of Grants old scouts
came to his assistance, and detail of
25 men was made from the 18th Hi
nois, which was mounted and started
in pursuit of the bushwhackers, with
orders to kill, capture and effectually
break them up. The old scout had
charge Of the detail.
Over hills and hollows, through
dense and dark gorges the little party
took its way, tracing the enemy, and
occasionally having slight skirmish
with them, until the ringleader Of the
gang (whose name was Sam Moore)
was captured.
A short time previous to this cap
ture of the leader of the bushwhackers,
our little party, after riding all night
came upon sixteen of the enemy just
at daybreak, who We're encamped in a
deep gorge which could be seen from
the road upon which we were travel

asleep when we attacked them, and
they scattered in every direction, leav-

equipments in the camp.

been industriously firing his revolver
at the retreating bushwhackers, when
one of these fellows crawled out of his
dog-tent and started off on all-fours.
He had on nothing but shirt, and a
very short one it was, too, which drew
our attention to him particularly. In
an instant the scout called out to me
"There, quick! Ambrose; raise that
fellow in his shirt-tail!" AS my gun
cracked, sure enough he did rise, and
off up the hill he went like quarter
horse and into the brush.

THERE was something inexpreasibly
sad about the solitary deathbed of Allen
Thorndike Rice, q man for whom ma
ture and fortune had so bountifully pro-
vided, says writer in the Epoch. He
had, through life, what is called ex-
traordinary luck, and yet when it came
to the supreme trial of all, it found him
in hotel, dependent upon the care of
hired attendant, and the easy prey to
q malady to which weaker men seldom
succumb. He died rich, and yet with
out friend near enough to know
whether or not he made will. He
died in the full promise Of what he es-
teemed a brilliant career, and yet his
name will be as completely forgotten,
in a year Or two, as if he had never
lived. If the compensations and draw
backs which go to even up the individ-
ual proportion of happiness, ever had an
ironical aspect. they surely had in his
case. The newspapers have made so
much of the singular story Of his early
life, and have revealed enough of it to
show that the boldest flights of the
writer's of fiction are distanced by the
realities of human experience. How
much Of Mr.. Rice's career was warped
by the environment of his youth, none
can tell, but that few had cause to envy
the endowment of this spoiled favorite
of fortune is merely the kind of para
dox that covers many simple truth.

IHE engineers pulling the limited
express on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
ana Chicago Railway have for some
time been attempting to surpass each
other in the speed of their trains. The
fastest made since the limited was put
on the road was by Engineer King,
who covered the distance of 14S miles,
between Fort Wayne and Chicago, max
ing eleven stops, in 100 minutes, pull
one combinationssmoker,a dining-car and
three sleepers, and itaveraged speed of
nearly fifty-four miles an hour. This rec
ord was broken recently, when Engineer
Christie pulled the train from Fort
Wayne to Chicago in ITO minutes.
Some parts of the road were covered at
the rate of sixty-five miles an hour, a
neutrality-suspicious. when the weight
of the limited express is considered.
The best long run was from Hamlet to
South Chicago, fifty-seven miles, in
sixty minutes.
