"Pen and Powder,


refreshing book, written upon a much worked
subject, is indeed novelty During the past three
years nearly every pretentious publication in the
country devoted almost limitless space to reviews
of our great civil war. Many of the papers were,
of course, interesting many of them were without
interest and a large number of them were posi-
lively stupid. "Pen and Powder" CTicknor Il Co.,
Boston,, by Franc B. Wilkie, is one of the most
entertaining war books ever issued. Mr.. Wilkie,
as a newspaper correspondent, saw battle for the
news it contained. He was out upon an assign
ment and reported performance. A trained news
hunter, he made false motions; q vigorous and
picturesque writer, he wasted no words. He wrote,
upon the scene of action, the story which, years
afterward, commanding generals set down in stiff
and immovable wordiness Above all, the author
of "Pen and Powder" is just. He places the we'll
earned wreath upon the uDjustly obscure hero, and
fearlessly slaps an worshiped idol of the peo
pie. He does not weary his reader with the inces
SAINT blare of the trumpet, but introduces him to
many entertaining "fellows," who talk with bright
snappiness. Hundreds of rich anecdotes are given,
and before the light of smile has died away from
one line, the tear Ia in the line following. 1t

AS will be seen from one Of the stories told be-
low, all Philadelphia lawyers Of that time were
not scrupulously honorable In their dealings with
clients. In the legal profession in others the
moral tone Is better than Ii was half century
ago.
Some amusing anecdotes still lnger In the
memory of old Philadelphians concerning the
eccentricities Of members of the bar In that city
in the early part of this century.
One of these lawers Mr.. Blank, we will call
him, had wide reputation for his force In argu-
ment and his rapacity On one occasion the case
against his client depended wholly the veracity
of one witness, meek, mild hammered stranger,
who wore the dress of a clergyman. Mr.. Blank
tried in vain to shake the witness, who had made
a marked impression upon both the jury and the
judge lie was listened to with profound respect
Suddenly he turned his head to disarrange
hi> hair
Blank sprang TO his feet on the instant, painting
like greyhound about to clutch his pray.
"Your honor" he said, "this man who has
assumed the garb of q servant of heaven Is a base
impostor and thief! lie has been branded "a
such by the law Sheriff, remove his glove!
Hold up his right hand :"
1t was done. Upon the palm was burned the
letter T.
The witness discharged from the stand and
Blank gained his case. Hi quick eye had noted
that the man. ear had been cut and he remem-
bered that in certain states of the south a thief
was punished by the clipping of his and
branding of the hand.
On another occasion, assisted by a brother
lawyer, he gained for the captain of
trading vessel The amount involved six
hundred dollars, which sum was paid to Blank in
the presence of his client. Turning to his assist
ant counsel, Blank said "You had much
trouble in this |. Here are two hundred
dollars for you, and two hundred for me;
hundred for you, and one hundred for me-"
"And what have II" shouted the captain,
"Ah, my dear sir, you have the glory of the
victory +" aid Blank, courteously, going out with
his money in his pocket

A Scarf Pin While You Wait.

All sorts ofqueer trades are followed
in New York, but one of the queerest
has just developed in the lobby of one
of the most famous hotels on Broadway.
For the last few evenings well-dressed
young man has been the center of at
traction in this particular hotel. He
has purchased the privilege Of setting
up his shop, consisting of chair and
table, in the lobby, and, with a coil of
gold wire, pair of pliers, pair of nip
pers, file and a knife as his stock in
trade, has deity manufactured to order
gold breast pins and bracelets with any
desired name standing out in bold re-
lief. On the table before him he dis
plays scores of the pins and bracelets
worked into the more common names,
and purchaser may either select one
of them or have one made to order
The enterprising young man uses moth
ing but knife in bending the wire into
the desired shape, and works out the
desired name with decided dexterity
and dispatch. When the name is fin
ished he bends the end OF the wire so
as to form the pin, cuts off the waste
wire, sharpens the end with file. and !,
with quick twist, forms a socket for
the pin. He charges half dollar for
each pin.

A Sweet Snuff-taker.
From the New York Sun.

A young and we'll dressed woman,
who was d passenger on BROOKLYN
Bridge tram yesterday morning, was
seen to take package of snuff from her
pocket and dispose of a good-sized
pinch. She did It daintily, but made no
attempt to conceal it, and returned the
Mortified stare of her fellow passengers
with the calmest and most innocent face
imaginable. She was not particularly
pretty, but she looked intelligent and
well-bred.
1t is not so unusual to see very old
men indulge in this obsolete custom
nowadays, but such sight as this was
rare indeed. She was not a foreigner,
either, as was clear when she spoke to
child who accompanied her.

will separate, and often considerable
damage will be the result, as the oil
alone will injure the trees and plants
quite seriously if applied to them.
AS about four times as many bushels
OF sweet potatoes can be raised on an
acre as corn, their great value as q
pork producer is obvious. Both the
vines and tubers are greatly relished by
hogs and cattle, and for the latter few
things are better for the increase of
rich milk and butter. Horses, too, are
very fond of sweet potatoes, and when
fed on moderate quantities CATER wash
ing the dirt off, of coursel they are
highly nutritious. If fed too freely at
first they are liable to produce collie.
DR.. A. B. GRIFFITHs, an English ply
stefan, has just published communica-
ton which is of great Importance to
horticulturists and agriculturists. He
demonstrates that iron sUlphate is an
antldote for many of the most virulent
epidemics which attack the field and
garden crops. These diseases are due
to microscopic funguses, whose struc-
lures are built up in a somewhat differ
ent manner to the corresponding parts
in other plants. 1t appears that the
cellulose in these funguses is acted
upon by iron sulphate, whereas in the
higher plants the cellulose of the cell
walls is not influenced.
IT has been found by careful expert
ment that the horsepower
by Watts as raising $4,000 pounds one
loot per minute-exerted by draft on
the road is equal to a tractive force OF
l2O pounds Tor eight hours at two and
one half miles per hour. This is con-
sidered the unit of power Tor road SER
vice where the track is level, hard
and smooth. Any obstruction, there
tore, whether it be an uneven surface
or steep grade, renders the travelling
difficult for the horse in the degree Of
unevenness or steepness of the grade
If the grade is | in 80 the horse can
draw two-thirds of it's load on a level; if
in "a it can only draw one-half, or if l
in 10, then it can only draw one-fourth
of its load on level.
CARE should be taken to see that plants
in pots are given good drainage. This
is best secured by putting q lot of broken
bottom Of the fower-pot. These pieces
should be as large as hazlenut or even
larger. Over these pieces some dried
moss, sphagnum or peat should be
placed, or even handful of dried grass,
if nothing better can be had. This will
prevent the earth from falling among
the fragments and will insure complete
drainage. It is supposed, of course,
that the regular fower-pots are used
with a hole at the bottom for the escape
of the water. If box or other vessel
be used a hole should be made IN the
bottom. Persons who have never tried
the above method will be surprised with
the difference 1T will make with their
plants. The earth in the pots should be
kept moist, but not wet, soggy, nor
cold

Supreme Gall.
From the BROOKLYN Citizen.

From the Brooklyn Citizen
l witnessed q comedy enacted in front
of a theatre few evenings ago. which
for display ofgenuine cheek is worthy
to be placed on record. A gentleman
came out after the first act and started
to go up street, when a handsomely
dressed young fellow accosted him.
II beg your pardon, SIR" he said,
"but have lost my door check. and if
you are not going to return would you
permit me to use yours 2"
The gentleman was going to return
and 80 informed the individual, who
thanked him just as fervently as if he
had received the check. The next gen.
tleman that came along was similarly
accosted, and he gave the fellow his
check.
"Have you seat coupon also ?" asked
the individual.
This was almost too much.
Eyes, and here's cigarette to smoke
between the acts.
The coupons and cigarette were
handed over, and | followed the fellow
inside to observe how he succeeded. He
passed the door and the usher seated
him. / could not resist the temptation

Of" he said. off you know where the
fellow is sitting I'll send him that bou-
quet," pointing to bunch of flowers
resting on his desk.
The fellow was located, and an usher
carried down the flowers. The man was
not the slightest bit put out. He looked
at the flowers, then at the usher. De-
hberately taking white rose from the
bunch, he placed it In the buttonhole of
his coat, and instructed the usher to re-
turn the flowers, as he was not Iond of
them.
There is ar old saying to the effect
that cheeky man generally succeeds.

British Subsidies,
From the Boston Journal.

A good deal OF trouble is attending
the efforts of the British government to
build Up a new subsidized line of fast
steamers from Europe to Canada. The
people who promised to float the COM
pany to do the work are insisting that
half a million dollars year is not
enough, and are holding out for bigger
subsidy. They will get it. In this mat
ter of substituting steamships England
scatters her money when it is called for
with lavish hand.
