THERE is in the City Cemetery of Sac

THERE is in the City Cemetery of Sac
ramento, the grave Of son of Alexander
Hamilton; this one was soldier of the
nation and fought in itsservice with distin-
guished honor attaining TO the rank of an
officer. He bore remarkable resemblance
to his illustrious sire. The grave is neg
lected and must presently, if not cared for,
become obscured and its identity be lost.
A proposition is made, which is outlined
by a contributor in our local columns, to
give the remains of the son of one of the
foremost of Americans better burial and
to that end one of the nephews of the
dead soldier, who was distinguished SOL
der of the Union in the Rebellion, though
now in old age, proposes to contribute from
his limited means sufficient to put above
the remains of Colonel Hamilton a suit
able monument bearing a bronze medal
lion authentic profile portrait of his father,
whose life was so pathetically interviewer
with the early history of the republic,
whose genius shone Respondent in the
constitutional birth of the form of Gov
eminent under which we live, and whose
brilliant services in the Continental army
were only eaualed by his mastery advo-
cacy Of the Constitution and his states
manship in the Cabinet of Washington.
1t is proposed that by patriotic local effort
the ground for this monument shall be Sc
cured and prepared in enduring masonry
for the monument his nephew writes he
will provide. The municipality would do
graceful act by designating and donating
a small plat Of ground for the purpose, and
the gentlemen who are moving in the mat
ter of the preparation of the plat when
liked upon, might even extend their effort
by supplementing of the tribute of the
nephew with base and approaches for
the monument that will add to its import
ance and public character.

A Madman's Ingenuity.

John B. B. LeOni, a young sculptor,
whose parents are supposed to reside in
Jersey City, Y. j., who for some time
has been an inmate of an asylum. es-
capped from his keepers some time ago
and wandered to Burlington, n. j.,
where a lively interest was taken in
him. He was found roaming aimlessly
around the streets, and, pending the
result of inquiries as to his identity,
was placed in the city Jail.
Shortly after his incarceration Leoni
obtained possession Of piece of soap
and proceeded TO astonish the jailers.
With his finger nails he dexterously be-
gan carving the soap, and gradually 1t
assumed human shape. When through
his labor Leoni had produced model
of the Alpine huntsman. The figure,
which Is now IN possession OF Mayor
Silpath, is about seven inches in height.
The right arm is outstretched, the hand
encircling the neck OF a duck, which.
Is as carefully reproduced as the figure
OF the hunter. The left hand hangs by
the side, holding a shot gun. at the
feet of the hunter lies the figure of q
retriever, wistfulIy gazing at the game
his master holds alofE.

Zone of the most difficult things to

the trick of writing its own name. a
penholder would be placed in it's claw,
and by moving 1t back and forth over
a sheet OF paper the trick was accom-

Chances in Life.

Some very interesting statistics re-
specting the rate os the French troops
stationed in the different colonies have
just been supplied to the Academy of
Science by DIR. Lagneau, says a Paris
Correspondent. The mortality of the
soldiers in the mother country averages
from to IL per 1000. In Algeria it
ranges from IL to u per 1000, and in
Tunis it is merely a fraction higher.
In Cochin, China, however, the death
rate doubles, and at Pondicherry it
trebles the normal rate in France
while in Tonquin in 1885 il attained the
figure of 90 per 1 900 nor is this all,
for many soldiers sent home invalided
either die on the journey or after
Frsnce has been reacehd. Senegal and
Guiana are extremely unhealthy colo
nies. In the former the mortality
among the troops averages 73 Per ], 900,
while in the latter in BAD years it has
attained the terrible figure of 257 per
1000. In Reunion, where the mean
death is % per 1000, it rose during the
Madagascar expedition to 113 per ], 600.

food Advice Promptly Followed.

In days gone by few Southern lawyers
were more distinguished than Luther
Martin. He WAS one day riding TO An
napolis IN a stage coach. when his only
companion-a young man who had just
been admitted TO the Bar-addIessing
him, said;
"Mr. Martha, you have been wonder
fully successful in your profession. Are
you willing to acquaint me with the Sc
cIet OF your success?"
"If you will pay my expenses during
the few days l shall remain in An
napolis.''
"G will" was the earnest response.
''It is IN this advice Deny eyery>
thing and insist on proof"
At Annapolis Mr, Martin enjoyed all
the luxuries that fac hotel could fur
nish, regardless Of expense, and, when
the time for his departure arrived,
passed the "bill''-Of enormous proper
tiops-to the young lawyer, who was
standing near. The latter merely
glanced at it., and then returned it to
Mr.. Martin.

Martin asked.
"Pay whatT"
"ThIs bill. Didn't you promise to

Man and Nature Run Wild.

The intertribal massacres which have
taken place lately IN the Solomon group
OF islands, have been the most horrible
OF their kind. The schooner Enter
prise reports that fighting is rife on sew
eral islands Of the group. Thirty men,
women snd children were massacred
during one onslaught in a single vii
lsge. The coast tribes were making
raids inland and capturing many wom-
en- and families. Cannibalism sill con
tinues to be popular.
The captured men are cut up and
their flesh is thus disposed OF, and the
women and children are sold as slaves.
The copra trade with the islands is be-
ing ruined, in consequence. During a
heavy thunderstorm on the of February
., water-spout burst near the Huga
River in Victoria, Australia, doing i'm
mense damage. The houses and a
woman were carried away. Her body
has not been found. Several families
had narrow escapes.

Butter Beans.

Many people at the South do net ap-
preclate the value OF what is known as
the Lima or butter bean. There are
three varieties of the Lima bean-the
small, the large 3ad Dreer's Improved.
The last named produces beans much
larger than the small variety, but is less
productive, and does not continue bear
ing throughout the season in the South
as does the small variety. The large
Lima has been superseded by Dreer's
Improved, but the small white Lima.
commonly known as the butter bean, is
the one most generally cultivated in
the cotton States, where it is subject
TO the attack of DO insect enemy, is not
deprecated upon By poultry, and affords
a delicious dish for table use, either as
green or dry shelled bean. 1t is a uni
versal occupant of the Southern gardens
for use in summer while green, but few
have as yet realized its value for win
ter use, as dry bean.
II is more easily produced, and more
easily preserved than any other species
grown IN the South. 1t is considered
by some superior to the celebrated
Yankee or navy bean - at any
rate it is a perfect substitute for that
famous variety. The only difficulty
about growing this bean is the fact that
1t needs support upon which to climb.
This support may be most cheaply fur
nished by using tall growing varieties
of corn. The bean may be planted in
rows of corn. and occupy the stalks un-
til gathered.
We feel satisfied that they could be
grown with profit anywhere in the
South. Unlike the other varieties OF
beans, no weeyil attacks 1t, and hence
there is no difficulty in preserving them
through the winter, They should be
prepared for cooking by soaking in wa
ter II hours previous to boiling. They
may, however, be cooked without pre-
vious soaking. but more time will be
required in boiling. They are found on
the market, but are not grown in sufii-
cient quantity to place them within
reach of the multitude. The supply
being small, the price puts them out OF
reach of the majority of families.
This is a crop that should be largely
grown in the South for winter use tC
supply home necessities.
