During tho slogo OF Port Hudson tho
following striking incident, proving the
bravery OF the soldier who performed
tho decd, was noticed by the writer and,
in fact commented upon by hundreds,
may even say by thousands The Of

engagement, and ono OF tho corporals,
who was very much attached to that Of

EARLY MATURITY.
The Only Way in which Farmers Can a.
Full ray for Their Corn.

The Only Way In which Farmers Can Get
Full Ray for Their Corn.
The evidences OF the advantages OF
early maturity OF hogs and cattle have
been so numerous and positive, in the
last year especially, that there Is no
need OF hesitating or doubling. The
fact that hogs and steers can be made
TO increase nearly double as much per
day in the first year as In the second,
shows any farmer when they should be
pushed. A steer may be made to gain
an average of 2I pounds per day for
the first year, while IL will gain only
II pounds the second year, with n
greatly increased amount OF food. And
the third year, Mt the end OF which
was the old-fashioned time to consider
a steer ripe for market, he will gain
only Z to / pound per day. A pig
can be made to gain II pounds per
day for the first nine months, and only
I pound per day, with food greatly
increased, the next nine months. Hence
early maturity is what is wanted, and
farmers should strive to affair to it.
When hogs or cattle are fed only
enough for support, nearly all the feed
thus used, as well as the time and care,
are thrown away. When feed enough
is given TO keep tho animal alive, a
very little more will add to their
weight and value. Therefore strive
for early maturity.
Another sad mistake is practiced by
many farmers. Though they keep
cows, they sell all of their calves when
young, and never have for market any
good, large smooth steers, perfectly
ripe, and which will command a high
price in any market. Others keep their
steers in moderate condition until they
are two or three years old, then sell
them to feeders, and allow the latter to
reap all of the profit of cattle-raising.
Every farmer should keep his corn
away from the railroad station, but
bring forward rapidly his steers to
early maturity, rs the best means oi
getting full pay for his corn, and ia
have the full benefits OF the growth oi
the steers OF his farm.-Iowa State

Who Wounded General Hancock?

A claimant for the honor of having
fired the shot which wounded General
Winfield S. Hancock at Gettysburg is
put forward by Au :ustus Niche, of
Washington. in behalf OF Sergeant w.
X. Wood, OF Company ii. Fifty-sixth
Virginia. which was part OF Garnetts S
brigade, OF Pickett's division, Long
streets corps. Mr.. Niche says that
his brother was commanding Sergeant
Woods company and gave tho order to
fire during Pickett's charge, July 2,
1868. Captain Niche saw mounted
Federal officer advance at the head of
column of apparently fresh troops.
He inquired of his men II any OF them
had cartridge left, and Sergeant
Wood replied that he had one, and de-
sired to know whether he should shoot
the officer; that he then directed the
sergeant TO shoot, which he did, and
that tho Federal officer Immediately
fell over and would have been dragged
by his horse but for assistance rendered
by Federal officers, who extricated him.

It pays to be honest, you say.
Granted.

AN p"JS w w hNhSoh1 SSu ohy.
Granted.
Yet how many are dishonest through
ignorance, expediency, or Intentionally.
One can be dishonest and yet say nothing.
A clerk who lets q customer buy dam
aged piece of goods, witness who holds
back the truth which would clear o prison
er, a medical practitioner who takes his
patients money when he knows he is doing
him no good,-all are culpably dishonest
Speaking CT the dishonesty of medical
men reminds US that only the past week
there has come under our personal obser-
walton form of dishonesty which is almost
too mean for narration.
1t is generally known that doctors bind
themselves by codes, resolutions and oaths
not to use any advertised medicines. Now,
there is medicine on the market which,
for the past ten years, has accomplished a
marvellous amount of good in the cure OF
Kidney and Liver diseases, and diseases
arising from the arrangement of these great
organs,-we refer to Warmers Safe Cure
So widespread are the merits of this med
icine that the majority Of the doctors of
this country know from actual evidence
that it will cure Advanced Kidney Disease,
which is but another name for Bright's Dis
ease.
The medical profession have put them
selves on record as admitting that there is
no cure for this terrible malady, yet there
are physicians base enough and dishonest
enough to procure Warmers Safe Cure in q
surreptitious manner, put the same INTO
plain, four-ounce vials, and charge their pa
tients $500 per vial, when 4 sixteen-ounce
bottle of the remedy, in its original pack
age, can be bought at any drug store in the
world for s1.25
Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure
of the patient justifies his dishonesty, yet
he will boldly stand up at the next county
medical meeting and denounce Warmers
Safe Cure as patent medicine, and one
which he can not and will not use.
The fact is that the people are waking up
to the truth that the medical profession is
far from honest, and that it does not pos
sess monopoly Of wisdom in the curing of
disease, doctoring the many symptoms of
kidney disease, instead of striking at the
seat of disease-the kidneys themselves -
allowing patients to die rather than use q
remedy known to be specific, simply
because IL has been advertised, and when pa
tents are dead from Advanced Kidney Dis
case, still practicing deception by giving the
cause of death in their certificate as pneu-
lnonia, dropsy, heart disease, or some other
accompanying effect of Bright's Disease.
All this is prtn,a fdcie evidence of incom-
potency, bgotry and dishonesty.
We speak but the truth when we say that
Messrs. II. II. Warner g. Co. have done a
most philanthropic work for the past ten
years in educating the people up to the
knowledge they now enjoy, especially of
maladies growing out of diseases of the
Kidneys and Liver, and are deserving OF
all praise for their honesty and straight
forwardness in exposing shams and dis
honesty Of all kinds.-Er.

Mr.. Burgess Tells About Opening tho Cof-
I'm OF the Dead President.
William Burgess, who is now laying
the foundation OF the Confederate mon
ument that is to be erected ut Alexan.
dria, is one of the few men now living
who. has looked upon the face OF Gen
eral George Washington.
''It was in 1886" he says, "when /
was an apprentice employed in building
the new tomb at Mount Vernon, which
SO many visitors now come to see. / was
lad then, and l remember this was
about my first piece OF work. When
the vault was completed | assisted in
moving the bodies from the old tomb to
their present restlng-place. 1t was de-
cided TO open Washlngton's coffin, and
when it had been conveyed to the new
tomb the lid was raised. A number of
people were present and stood in breath
less silence while the wOrkmen extract
ed the rusty screws. When the top OF
the coffin had been lifted / looked in.
The body was apparently perfectly
preserved, the features of the face were
complete, and there was nothing TO in
dictate the length of time which he had
been dead. The exposure to the air,
however, had its Immediate effect. In
minute or two the body suddenly col
lapsed, and shrank into an almost UNI
recognizable form. Other than this my
recollections are very indistinct do
not remember how the body was
dressed or any thing further about it.
The features, as i recollect them, were
like the pictures have secn."

has lived in Alexandria many years.

him relate the story often. Washing

PHYSICIANS AMAZED.
IAN Old soldier Carries n bullet In MS
, Head for Twenty Years.


Head for Twenty Years.
The remarkable instance OF Anton
Mcrct the Philadelphia veteran, who
lived twenty-five years with bullet
imbodded in tho tissues of his heart,
has u parallel in the caso OF Abraham
Delong, prominent farmer of this
county, who carried an ounce OF Con
federate lead on his brain for twenty
years before II caused his death-tho
strangost feature OF the circumstance
being that tho presence Of tho bullet
never was known until the autopsy
brought 1t to light
! Delong received his wound at the
battle OF Stone River The bullet struck
him squarely on the nose, we'll up be-
tween the eyes, in such n way as to
split the bone, which, closing up again,
left only slight wound that the sur
geon declared had boon caused by n
bullet coming from n side direction aad
clipping off the skin as it sped by.
Dclong kept his feet, suffering little,
and In few days was again in fighting
trim. He served TO the close OF the
war, and returned home to his little
family and his plow As the years
passed Dclong experienced painful sem
sations in his head, Mt first slight, but
more and more severe nj each rocur-
renee, until his sufTcrings finally drove
him crazy. He was taken TO the insane
asylum at Dayton for treatment, whore
he recovered his mental faculties, but
received no relief from the terrible
pain and pressure in his head that made
life almost intolcrablc.
Some time before his death, which
took place in 1882, Delong got the
idea that the bullet that struck him nt
Stone River had indeed entered his
head, and proposed to submit to a sur
gical operation that would determine
whether he was right about it This
opinion was not shared by his physi-
clans, and, ms the operation must noc-
essarily. be dangerous one, thoy de-
clined to search for the suspected mis-
sile. He then requested that aftor his
death an examination be made, in order
that his widow and children, should it
appear that he had died of injuries re-
ceived in service OF his country, might
receive greatly needed pension, his
long period of illness and inability to
work having quito eaten up his little
fortune,
Accordingly an autopsy was hold
To tho surprise OF the doctors, and as
Delong had predicted, they found n
bullet, or rather two jagged pieces OF
lead, in his head, back of the frontal
bones. One portion had lodged just
over the brain, and, together with n
fragment OF bono that had been broken
off by the bullet rs it tore its way into
the Uranium, had become incysted with
hard growth, which, extending year
by year. pressed harder and harder
against the brain, causing the terrible
pain of which Delong complained, and
resulting in arrangement and death.
Had it been known that the bullet which
struck him at Stone River found lodg-
ment in his head surgical skill might
have availed to prolong the victims
life for many years. As it was, it was
looked upon as most remarkable that
Delong should have survived as long as
he did. Mrs. Delong applied for and re-
ceived pension. Van Vert (O.) Let
