The Mk-Produccrs Union and the Milk

its members evidently believe that they will

which the producers throughout the region that

Producers Union can perfect arrangements for

COMPROMISE We hope that this is not true.
The ~cnate's proposition is exceptionally far

for Commissioners four of the five men named

privilege of naming as the other half OF the
Commission four of the seven men whose
names appear in the original bill. Could any
thing be farcr? Can any member of the
Legislature conceive Of happier or more salts
factory solution Of the problem? Then why
not accept it at once and pass the bill? If the
measure fails to become a law the blame must
rest upon those Republican Assemblymcn who
refuse to act with their party. 1t is a grave
responsibility. Arc you prepared to assume
it, gentlemen?

Before passing the gate [of the prison
for Union officers at Macon] we expect

semblance of respectability Instead,
we were instantly surrounded by sever
al hundred ragged, bare-footed, frowzy-
headed men shouting "Fresh fish," at
the top of their voices and eagerly ask
ing for news. With rare exceptions all
were shabbily dressed. There was, how
ever, a little knot of naval officers, who
had been captured in the narrow wind
ings of the Rappahannock by force OF
cavalry, and who were the aristocrats of
the camp. They were housed in sub
stantial fair building in the center of
the grounds, and by some special terms
of surrender must have brought their
complete wardrobes along. On hot days
they appeared in spotless white duck,
which they were permitted to send out
side to be launderied. Their mess was
abundantly supplied with the fruits and
vegetables of the season. The ripe red
tomatoes they were daily seen to peel
were the envy of the camp. l well re-

Old-'rime Remedies Derived from the AMI

A writer in an old number of the
Galaxy has furnished n curious exhibit
of the practice of old-time doctors in the
use of remedies derived from the ami
NAL kingdom. 1t furnishes good meas

lect Insects once formed class of
medicines considered very effective in
certain cases, and time was when the
doctor woul5 order dose of three gnats
or three drol of lady-bird milk, just as
he might order three grains of calomel

used to be prescribed for the cure of
toothache. The sacred beetle is eaten
by the women of Egypt and regarded as
an emblem of fertility. The oil-beetle
exudes deep yellow oil from the joints
of the legs, which was esteemed diuretic
and used in rheumatic complaints; it
has also been recommended in hydro
phobia. In some cases the effects at
tributed to these curious remedies may
possibly be produced by them, as, for
instance when Turkish women eat,

occurred an incident which is thus vivid
cipally concerned in it, Major Clifford
Thomson. of General Pleasanton'S staff.
General Pleasanton rode from gun to
gun, directing the gunners to aim low,
not TO get excited, to make every shot
toll. The enemy were forming in line
of battle on the edge of the woods in
our front. They were scarcely two
hundred yards distant; yet such was the
gloom they could not be clearly distin-
guished,
General Pleasanton was about giving
the order to fire upon the party when u
sergeant at one OF the guns said:
"General, aren't those our troops?
see our colors in the line"
This was true, for where he pointed
our colors could be seen-trophies picked
up on the field. General Pleasanton
turned to mo and said:
"Mr. Thomson, ride out there and see
who those people arc"
For myself, was not at all curious
about "those people," heing perfectly
willing to wait until they introduced
themselves. But rode between two of
our guns, and galloped to within thirty

"Rain may be good for farmers Mt

agents." said one of the latter during
the late rainy season. IA big rain
Storm" no continued, "means the do
struction of anywhere from $1,000 to
81, 600 worth of posters, especially If it
comes in the early part of weeks on
gagement-and strange to say it usually
does come at just such a time. This is
where we lose.
"It costs us from $500 to $500 per week
to bill good out-of-town stands. That
is supposing we have no rain storms.
But those are things you can't calcu-
late on. When the storm comes the
papers are washed away and there goes

"How do bills and posters costp Well,
that depends on circumstances. Each
theater in principal town sends out
about two thousand Autographs for win
dows, and these are worth from to Is
cents each. Then there are the big
sheets, the qualities of which depend
on circumstances. They cost any where
from T5 cents to So apiece.
But then there is no end to the bills
that are used and the costs are various.
No small part of theatrical company's
expense is the matter of providing the
bills, and it is especially SO in q rainy
season. AT towns where pieces have a
long run the expense is a good deal less
than ordinarily, but under any circum-
stances there is considerable outlay"

a LEVEL HEAD.

Tho Advantage of Presence of Mind in
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad the militia were ordered
to be in readiness in case of riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case Of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen therefore they would not be ordered
out. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose TO lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy-sheriff had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it without calling on
the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion
The man who retains his presence of mind,
maintains his eQuipoise and exercises sound
discretion at such critical iunctures, is to
be relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying
qualities which do not falter IN the face of
danger. Otis a. Cole, of Kinsman, o.,
June 10, 1880, writes: I'm the fall of 1888

Gov. Eill is accounted very successful

to the class that do not lose their heads
when emergencies arise.
