General Grant on Guard.

1t was drizzly day, only short
time before General Grant drove the
enemy from Petersburg and moved to
ward Five Forks and Appomattox. A
chill northeast gale made overcoats
comfortable even there, and more men
who could wore them than left them
off.
A sentinel down toward the river,
near some stores, shivered as he strobe
to and fro on his post, his gunlock un-
der his arm to keep off the wet. He
was raw recruit from ''Down East"
sent out to help fill the ranks of regi-
ment which had lost one half its men
since the campaign began.
He saw man In regulation over
coat and with a slouch hat, but with
the steady carriage ola veteran, pass
ing along a few yards away, and he
called out to him:
'Say, friend, have you any terbacker
in yer clothes 7"
The passerby was smoking cigar.
"No," he replied, 81 can give you a
cigar, but don't chew"
Sand l don't smoke, but I'm starv.
ing for chaw," replied the sentinel
as he looked over to the other wistfully.
"An' I chaw, and dasn't smoke on post
Say, couldn't you stand on post 8
minute till l run over to the suffers
yonder ?"
81 could said the other, with grin
smile on his face, and then he added
81 will. Give me your gun anG
orders"
"rhere isn't no orders, only to hall
anybody going nigh them stores, anG
to stop 'em as has no business there.
So the sentinel relieved of his post,
hurried to the suffers for the desired
tobacco. Returning promptly he tool
his gun and quietly said:
'If 1 get a chance I'll do as much
for you, friend. What regiment b.
you in y
Not any. belong to headquar
ters."
What, to the Generals guard
What's your name?"
The quiet-looking man puffed out
cloud OF smoke and said "My nam
ia Grant"
"Great Jerusalem'!" gasped the sen
tinel. 81 have been relieved by Gen
eral Grant himself, and didn't know
him"
How could he, when not a mark o
the Generals rank was in sight, ant
the poor fellow was yet too green il
service to know what o fault he hat
committed in yielding post and gul
to any but his regular relief tn,

Against Imported Beef.
GRANGERs AND BUTCHERS ASK FOR THE
PASSAGE of THE DRESSED
BEEF BILL.

Leonard Rhone, master of the State
Grange, Colonel Thomas and Repre-
sentative Taggart, appeared before
the judicial General Committee last
Wednesday and advocated the bill
against the admission of Chicago
dressed beef in the State.
Mr.. Rbone said that the Chicago
dressed beef syndicate killed diseased
beef and cent it here. He said this
bill would prevent diseased meat from
coming into this State by requiring an
inspection on the boof.
A. M. Wsrthman, Philadelphia
beef packer, described the diseased
cattle that he had seen In the slaugnt,
er pens at st. Louis and Chicago. He
said he had seen cattle suffering with
ulcerous sores in their throats, with
lockjaw and with pleuro- pneumo-
ma sent into the slaughter rshouses. He
said there was no way of detecting
this diseased meat after it was dressed
for the market. He said the Grang-
ers' bill should be adopted in the inter-
est of the public health.
Representative Taggart said the
Chicago syndicate had driven the
farmers of Pennsylvania out of the
cattle growing business. He said the
farmers had been unable to find a
market for their healthy beef.
When Colonel Thomas came befor,
the committee he was asked whether
it was true that the butchers aud
drovers of Philadelphia and Pittsburg
were the inst;gators of the Grangers'
bill. The Colonel said the measure
was entirely that of the Grange. The
farmers were heartily for the bill and
if it was passed they wanted all the
credit for it Messrs. Peters and Kalt-
haller, two Pi.tsburg butchers, gave
the committe graphic description of
the d'seased cattle they had seen in
the Chicago stock yards.
No representatives. for the Chicago
syndicate appeared before the com
mittee. They are expected to come
here next week. Colonel Thomas
sent out word tonight all the loca
organizations of the State Grange tc
send in their petitions for the bill. He
said that within the next week or &c
their will be petitions before the LIE
gislature bearing the names of 10000
farmers asking for the passage of the
Grangers' beef bill.

Two Slang Phrase 8
soME ANECDOTES OF CHARLES QUEEN, THE
ACTOR AND HUMoRIST.

Charles Queen was a good deal of
wit, 10 his way, and was the author OF
at least two well known expressions,
ga cold dsy when we get left" aud
"Chuck full of blue mud"
The origin of the first expression
was this: "Mr. Queen had friend in
Elizibeth, N. j., with whom he always
stayed when playing in that city. One
Sunday morning the two started out
for "bracer," but Sunday closing
law that had just gone into effect in
terfered with their project. However,
they hired a rig and started to Drive
into the country, having made up their
minds not to return until they had
secured that drink. They had to drive
more than fifteen miles before they
were successful, and on their return to
the home of Mr.. Queen's friend they
were glad to get near the fire and
thaw themselves out, the weather
being bitterly cold
"Well,' exclaimed the hosts wife,
as she came in:o the room where the
two. worthless were hugging the stove,
81 don't wonder you two men are
almost fr zen; the thermometer is only
ten above zero"
"Yes" replied Queen, winking at his
friend, ''it's cold day but we didn't
get left
The next week, while playing in
New York, he repeated the expression
To one of the actors, who used it that
night on the stage, and in few weeks
it had travelled from one end of the
United States to the other.
One day, while walking along Broad
way, Queen acoidently stepped into q
pail of blue calcimine that stood on the
edge of the side walk. He scraped the
calcimine off the best he could, but be-
fore he reached home it had dried on
his shoe aud on the bottom of his
trowsers. A friend meeting him or
the street, stopped him, and asked
what was the matter.
80, nothing" replied Queen, '"only
I'm chuck full of blue mud."-Detroi

She Was Not a Widow.
HRR LONG LOST HUSBAND TURNS UP ON
TIVE EVE or HER WEDDING.


Fourteen years ago John Lamb, q
well.to.do machinist Of Ashley, married
Mary Crsginand the young couple i'm
medIately lefS for the West, settling
down in st. Louis, where Mr.. Lamb
secured position as superintendent in
the locomotive works. After being
married two years disagreement
arose between the couple and they
separated, the wife returning to her
home in Ashley. Some years later
Mrs. Lamb received copy of st.
Louis Globe democrat giving the ac-
connt of the drowning of her husband.
Thinking she was widow the woman
went into deep mourning and did not
resume her position in society for
long time. She said she would never
marry again, but she changed her
mind when John Adams, man of
good standing in the community, put
IN an appearance as lover and later
a ked the fair widow for her hand.
Mrs. Lamb accepted the offer OF
marriage and Tuesday was the date
agreed upon for the ceremony.
The bride expectant had completed
nearly all her arrangements when, to
her surprise, her long lost husband put
in an appearance on Saturday morning.
Mrs. Lamb was at her parents home
examining the wedding dress, which
the dressmaker had just brought in,
when the husband knocked at the door.
The woman's surprise knew no bonds,
and she exclaimed: HWell / am not
widow after alll' Lamb and his wife
had long interview, and the result
wss reconciliation. Adams was noti-
fed of the circumstances, but he was
loath TO believe that Lamb was ths
genuine husband. His intended, how
ever, settled all doubts on that point
by returning TO the West Sunday even
ING with her husband.

Winter Protection for Fruit Trees.

Where mice and rabbits are abund-
ant they are far more destructive to
apple trees than the borers If SHOWS
fall to considerable depth in winter,
rabbits readily travel over the surface
and are enabled to reach the bark on
the stems several feet above the roots,
and from this point downward as the
snow settles. But mice work under
the snow, and usually at about the
same place where the borers are found;
consequently tar paper wrappings will
answer the double purpose of keeping
out the borers and prevent the attacks
of mice. 1t is well known that rabbits
dislike the taste and smell of animal
matter, such as grease, blood and meat
and for this reason smearing the stems
of apple trees with lard, blood or stale
fat pork has often been recommended
and extensively employed to prevent
the attacks of these pests. On the
other hand mice are attracted by such
applications, and while eating the
grease or blood from the trees they
are verv likely to get taste of the
sweet bark underneath and continue
their depredations so long as the snow
protects them from observation. To
prevent the attacks of rabbits, tht
stems of young trees should be wrap
ped with cloth or bark fromthe grount
up to the lower branches, and thes,
wrappings should be left on until thu
following spring. Then remove then
and lay aside for use when they shall
be needed again, provided the material
used tor this purpose are of durable
nature. The thinnest kind of tarret
roofing paper is an excellent materia
for wrapping the stems of trees to pro
tect them against the attacks of borers
mice and rabbits, and is cheap AM
durable.-American Agriculturist
