or course we could not think of lcav-
ing France without having paid visit
to the great dycing establishments at
Bordeaux and gathered some notes OF
interest in reference to the exotic color
ing woods in use there. And /. for one,
am proud to have learned that nine
tenths of this material comes from our
own continent of America.
The wood chiefly used is called Cam
peachy, very rich in coloring matter
imported from tho coast of Yucatan
principally. 1t is also obtained from
Cuba, llayti and in some portions Of
South America, but in small quantities.
Tho color is a vinous rcd, slightly
shading to blue, but it varies according
to the acid substances employed, and
produces violet, black, red, yellow and
several other colors,
The yellow woods are classified ac-
cording to tho countries from which
they are imported. That from Cuba is
very valuable and is known by the fine
yellow and orange veins running
through it. 1t is mainly used in dye
ing silks.
Tho yellow wood of Mexico, Colom-
bia, Hayti and Jamaica yields numerous
colors, but chiefly yellow, brown and
green.
The wood of Tuipan and Tampico
produces bright yellow color.
That of Brazil, though of n knotty
structure, possesses a most beautiful
color.
The Pernambuco redwood is entirely
under control of the Brazilian Govern
ment, and is so very costly that but a
very small quantity is imported into
France. 1t gives positive but exceed
ingly lovely red color. There are species
OF this wood also to be found along
Costa Hica, Nicaragua and Honduras
coasts of Centre America
These latter varieties, however, are
either OF Il reddish yellow or dark red,
which, if exposed to the air, quickly
changes to Il dark brown. Tho tints
which may be derived from it are light
red and amaranth. 1t is employed as
well to produce Il more positive madden
rcd, and to apply colors on wool. cot

Committee.

Hon. James r. Magill, president of
the Farmers Alliance of Kershaw
County, S. c., in addressing his Alliance
said: The past season has surrounded
US with conditions that require the ex-
ercise OF our best judgment and pru-
dence. Although our efforts to improve
our business methods were successful,
and our expenses were thereby de-
creased at least twenty-five per cent,
yet the failure of crops has so
diminished the income of the farm, that
the average condition of farmers is no
better than it was at the beginning of
the year. The heavier the burden i'm
posed on US. the greater the necessity
for our organization. Our frequent
meetings furnish opportunities for in
terchange Of thought, and comparison
in detail of different methods of farm
work. Cooperative methods of buy
ing and selling lessen cost of sup
plies, and increase the returns
of sales of farm products. Credit is es-
sential in our impoverished condition,
and its cost depends on prompt pay
ments, therefore l would impress on our
members the Importance of economy
that their credit may be kept good-aNd
the exercise of industry and thrift
that they may the sooner be enabled to
adopt the cash systematic only safe
system for farmers. Dixie Farmer.

TWO oNE-ARMED VETS.
How They Make One Pair of Gloves Last q
Long Time.

Long Time.
It is unusual, to say the least, for
single pair of gloves to accommodate
the spirit of economy which may ami
mate the wearers. Nevertheless, two
honored and respected citizens of Brook
lvn have pstronized the glove market
for many years only to the extent of the
purchase of pair between them. Brig
adier-General James McLeer, of the
Second brigade, National Guard. is with
out his left arm, while Lieutenant-Col-
onel Seldom c. Throbridge, of the Four
teenth regiment, National Guard, wears
an empty sleeve on the right side. A
few years after the war General McLeer
and the aforementioned became fast
friends. AS they soon discovered that
they wore the same sized glove they
conceived the idea of buying a pair al
ternately and dividing them. That &C
counts for the shade and color of their
gloves being always the same. When
walking together, unless one were to
know of their crippled condition. it
would not appear that these two gal
liant Union war veterans wore two
empty sleeves between them. The Gen
eral ordinarily walks on the right of the
Lieutenant Colonel, so that the vacant
sleeves adioin, while the hand of either
soldier swings easily on the outside.
General McLeer enlisted as a private
in the Fourteenth regiment and went
to the front when boy. He was wound
ed in the left arm and right leg at the
second battle of Bull Run. He has been
an almost constant sufferer from his
wounds since the war, and told me sew
eral wears ago that he rarely retired for
the night without going to the cold
water tap and letting the water flow on
the aching stump of his arm. For the
last four weeks he has been laid up with
his wounds, and during that time the
| knife of the surgeon has been required
again on the shattered arm AS soon as
he is able to go out and recuperate an
other portion of the arm will be re-
moved, as the operation is deemed to be
necessary. The General is member of

aforementioned Throbridge who
bears some general resemblance to his
old comrade, has also recently been suf-
fering from the nerve of the severed arm.
He was wounded in 1864 while serving
as Lieutenant with the One Hundred
and Fifteenth Regiment, New York
Volunteers, in a charge on Fort Gilmore
during the siege of Petersburg, Va. He
has been for several years employed as
a clerk in the Department of Taxes and

The Wheel in Arkansas.

A correspondent of the Fordyce ark
Enterprise says:
1.-The Wheel, it must be confessed, has
done lasting and material good. At no
time within fifteen years has there been
such general prosperity and independ-
ence. Note the cotton that has been
kept back for better prices this fall.
Last year and year before they could
not do this. They owed every thing
they made and as soon as gathered their
products went to the market to pay
debts previously contracted and doubly
secured by mortgages. Let the Wheel
have its perfect. work. A nation may
smile when it's farmers prosper"
There is no doubt that the Agricult-
ural Wheel has led to better farming
and more profitable farming. 1t has

ural class, and intelligence increases

sists the great benefit of such associa-

SAVED FROM DEATH.
How the Late W. ID. Kelley Preserved
SoIdiarsa

How the Late W. ID. Kelley Preserved a
Soldiers Life.
In 1864 young soldier of Pennsyl-
vania regiment was convicted by a
court-martial for sleeping on post and
sentenced to be shot. Friends of the
unfortunate boy fastened to Washing
ton and enlisted the sympathies of Mr..
Kelley in his behalf. Their statements
of the boys grave offense indicated that
there were mitigating circumstances
which rendered him proper subject
for executive clemency. 1t was claimed
that the soldier was in feeble health,
but had refused to go to the hospital,
remaining with his company, which was
engaged in the campaign against Rich
mond. He had been marching and fight
ing for two days and nights without
sleep, and it was under such circum-
stances that, overcome by exhaustion,
he had suffered himself to fall asleep
while on picket.
Mr.. Kelley laid the case before the
President, and volunteered to go at once
to the army and investigate. To ena-
BILE him to do this Mr.. Lincoln handed
him a reprieve for three days. So fully
did he trust the Judgment of Mr.. Kelley
that he also wrote and signed a pardon,
which Kelley was to present in case he
found the statements of the soldiers
friends to be correct. If, upon the other
hand, he should find the case to be with
out extenuating feature, he should not
interfere with the execution. Mr.. Kel-
ley took the first train for the front.
Travelling as far as he could by rail he
rode on horseback nearly all night
through the great camps to reach the
regiment he sought. The execution
was to have taken place that morning,
but was stayed by the Presidents order.
Mr.. Kelley satisfied himself that the
demands of justice and the discipline of
the army did not require the sacrifice of
the young life, produced the pardon, and
the soldier was restored to duty. The
soldier fully redeemed himself by con-
spicuous gallantry, and lost an arm in
the final assault upon Petersburg
Washington Cor. Cleveland Leader.
