ABOUT ANIMALS.

Every fright and cruelty to a
mich COW poisons the milk.
In Russia where binders are new
er used on horses a shying horse is
almost unknown.
Always in cold weat her warm the
bits before you put them in your
horses mouth, or else try them on
yonr on tongue first.
Never permit yonr check rein to
be SO tight that your horse cannot
put his head where he wants to
when pulling up hill. How would
yon like to have your head tied up
with tight check-rein.
THE LANGUAGE OF ANIMALS.
Everyone who has heard a dog or
horse welcome its master with ex.
CARNATIONS of joy, or cat plalntive-
~ mewing for it's food, ought to be-
lieve that animals can talk.
The dog has different sounds to
express hunger, pain, sorrow, thanks
and fear. Birds have different
songs and notes to express their
feelings. We recognize their songs
Of victory and of love, as well as the
notes OF anger aud fear. 1t is evi.
dent that these notes are under
stood, not alone within the limits of
one species, but among other birds;
for different tribes often make a
common cause of Joy or battle.
Monkeys express their passions,
fears and desires by various cries
and gestures. Some of the most
uncivilized languages are but little
richer than theirs. Abbott tells US
that crows have twenty-seven dis
tinct cries or utterances. Many
scientists believe that certain sounds
made by fishes are for the purpose
of expressing their feelings.
1t is clear to the careful observer
that language is universal where
ever there is sensation, and all ami
NAL life more or less inter-communi.

RUSTIC COURTShIP.

A young man out in the country
was deperately in love with farm
er's daughter. She reciprocated
the tender passion, but her father
was sullen and obdurate, and gave
the yonng man to understand in the
most emphatic terms that if he ever
entered that hous" it would be at
his peril. ''He would" he said,
"kick the daylights out Of him."
One night recently. when the old
gentleman had gone to town to be
absent over night, the young msn
took advantage of his absence to
visit the daughter. They were sit
ting in the front room, both boom
ing with joy, 1t was nearly mid
night.
Presently the daughter heard a
noise which she recognized as her
fsther's footsteps. There was bed
IN the room and the girl drew back
the calico curtains, and told the
young man to hustle under. He did
so. She had forgotten to tell him
that there was a goose under there
engaged in a motherly effort to
hatch out dozen young goslings.
Scarcely had the young man gotten

the girls father entered. Just about
this time the old goose made hiss.
ing noise, drew back it's long neck
and struck the already frightened
intruder smart blow on the left
ear, n:pping piece out. That was
enough. He was sure he had been
bitten by snake, and with a blood
curdling yell the young man rushed
from his hiding place, screaming al
the top Of his voice:
"Snake! Snake! I'm bit by a
snake and | don't care who knows
it?"
And the clandestine lover made a
break for the door, and ran home
with furious speed, yelling at every
jump.
The old man was at first very
much startled at the strange appari-
ton, but he soon realized the situa-
alton and both himself and daugh-
ter laughed heartily.

In 1871 Samuel White was condi-
tlonally pardoned out of the Ohio
penitentiary. He was serving a

remaining out was that he should
not take a drink of whisky or any

years he abided by the condition.
but few weeks ago he went on a
protracted spree, and when he be-
came sober he was returned to the
penltentlary, to remain until he

Macon has queer freak of an En-
glish sparrow. Every morning this
English sparrow flies into the office
of the city clerk through the win
dow, tarries while on top of the in
ner blind, chirps merry good morn
ing and then makes itself at home.
1t does not seem frightened at the
people coming in an going out, but
fits about in the room from window
to window, from the top of the book
case to the maps on the wall, as I'm.
concerned as if sporting amid the
branches ola tree. The chill of the
morning causes the flies to remain
dormant for some time, and it has
been noticed that the bird makes a
meal on these limp flies. After
gathering them in and making a
hearty meal, the sparrow perches
upon the window through which it
came, chirps its profuse thanks and
then skips out to join its less tortu-
nate companions. 1t happened
several days ago, when the morning
was chillier than usual, that the
porter at the city hall did not lower
the window at the top as usual.
That day the bird was seen to fly
against the window pane and kick
up considerable fuss at not being
allowed to come in. And it was
not until the window was lowered
did it seem to be satisfied.

XENIA, Ohio, Oct. Goth, 1889.


ED. JoURNAL.-In 1861, l enlisted
in the 39th Ohio Volunteer Infan-
try. On the 4th of July, 1864, in
an assault made by our brigade On
the Confederate works near Ruf's
Mill, on Nicajack creek, l was
wounded and taken to tie hospital
at Marietta. / was shot through the
right lung and reported "mortaDly
wounded" A few days after being
taken to the hospital young Con-
tederate soldier was brought there
and occupied cot next to me. He
had been shot through both feet and
taken prisoner while On picket duty.
My impression is that he belonged
to cavalry regiment. | think an
Alabama regiment, at any rate his
home was somewhere in Alabama.
He had an aunt then living in Mari
eta who had obtained authority to
visit him. The first visit she made
she brought such "dainties" as we
seldom saw in those days. She ten
dered me a portion but declined It,
not on the ground that l was too
feeble to partake of food, as she no
doubt thought, but on the real
ground that she was a rebel and |
was, on that account, suspicious"
of her and her dainties. | had been
educated an abolitionist. After her
first visit, however, l became "re-
conciled." Her tender sympathy
led me to believe her to be kind
and noble hearted woman. | par
took of the Injuries she brought
and finally became warmly attached
to both Confederate and his aunt.
My friend and |, Notwithstanding
our suffering and pains, and differ
ences of opinion, constructed many
costly and valuable castles Gin the
air); planned deliberately for the tu-
ture, and were to correspond with,
and visit each. other "when the cruel
war was over" had his name and
address. Suddenly and unexpected
IL to me l was removed from MARI
eta to Nashville. 1t was the inten-
ton, | believe, to take me home.
but my condition was such that |
could not stand the journey, and was
taken to the hospital at Nashville,
where my knapsack containing the
name anC address of the young Con,
federate, with all my trophies and
keepsakes, was lost or stolen. Suisse
quently | was taken home where for
nearly six months was confined to
my bed. The ordeal through which
l had passed caused me to forget the
name and address of my Confederate
friend, as we'll as the name of his
aunt in Marietta. have never
since been able to recall the name
Of either. They, no doubt, if living,
think me dead. None of my friends
thought it possible for me to recoV-
er. | have often thought of making
an effort to ascertain whether nv
Confederate friend or his aunt, is
living, and where. but singular as it
may seem | have neglected it until
now. The young Confederate was

red hair. | know of no better meth

MARIETTA & NORNH GEORGIA ROAD

Maj. A. L. Hartridge, of Savan-
nah, is elated over the prospect of
the Marietta and North Georgia
getting to Knoxville within the lin
it to entitle the road to the 1915, 900
voted it by that city. In fact, Maj.
Hartridge says that while the road
will have until Aug. "a to reach
Knoxville, if no unforeseen acct
dents occur, the road will have been
completed long before that time
There are only about forty miles
yet to build, and, if seven miles is
excepted, the entire distance is
through an agricultural country,
and the progress will be rapid.
W I:.9Iv are, uvwvyv1, north of Duck
town, to which trains are now run
ming, seven miles Of mountainous
country which requires three tun-
nelS, upon which work is now in
progress, and were it not for this
difficult gap in the line Knoxville
would soon be reached.
The Calhouns have some interest
in projected road over in the coal
fields of Northeastern Kentucky,
which may want to make connec-
tions with the Marietta and North
Georgia road. The Marietta and
North Georgia road is independent
and seeks to make no alliance until
it reaches Knoxville, and then it
will be timeIenough to consider what
reciprocal arrangements can be
made with connecting lines
He says that within the last month
an extensive marble quarry has been
purchased by a New York contrac-
tor, who will take out 500 car loads
of marble for the Vanderbilt cot
tages.
"You are not building via Muir
ply y
mo, sir. We abandoned that
route after building to Murphy,
which is being operated as brnach
road, and, beginning at Blue Ridge,
the road has been built in a north
westerly direction to Ducktown to
take in the rich copper mines. From
Ducktown it will run northeast
wardly to Knoxville"
Maj. Hartridge allows it to be
understood that the Marietta and
North Georgia may, at an early
day, extend its line to Chattanooga,
and circumstances may arise which
will lead the company to finish the
gap between Atlanta and Marietta,
the latter point being the present
southern terminus of the Marietta
and North Georgia road. The state
road is being used by the Marietta
and North Georgia, between Ma
rietta and Atlanta, and the present
legislature has granted the Mariet-
ia and North Georgia folks char
ter to build between the two cities,
so that If the state road should pass
into unfriendly hands, the short gap
could soon be built over.
Maj. Hartridge thinks that Savan-
nah, at the proper time, should ex-
ert itself to secure the closest posi-
BILE connections with the Marietta &
North Georgia, as both Charleston
and Brunswick are watching with
interest what will be the next move
after the road is completed to Knox
