had fallen from an attack Of vertigo in the
rooms of the Unicn League Club last night

been at his office, but that out Of deference
to the advice of his physician he went to his
country seat. g1e

ter the battle Of Cbickamauga that the
confederacy was doomed. He said that he
came to Knoxville and made desperate
assault on Fort Saunders, but his heart was

that whatever might have been the
result of the little battle, it could not have
affected the result of the war. The south
was to be defeated. He seemed to agree
with the general idea that the city could
have been taken had he assaulted the fort
whom he first reached it.
The speech was one Of broad patriotism
and statesmanship, the words were patri-
otic and the document will be read with
profound interest by northern and southern
men alike. Gen. Longstreet said that this
speech is, in all probability. the last public
utterance he win give in such general
way. Ex-federal and ex-confederates alike
shed tears or cheered during its reading.
Gen. Harvey Gibson of Ohio followed
Gen. Longstreet in grand GRAFTON.

lowing out the idea shown. nothing
could be easier
A tube made with an inside diameter
of three inches, either Of wooden caves
pipe or OF boards nailed together, should
be stood up in the barrel and a hole
sawed in the barrel head which will just
match the tube. One side of the tube
should be cut away at the bottom.
Filling the barrel to within an inch or
two of the top with brine. the head
should next BIO pushed down and al
lowed to come up nearly to the surface
Of the brine. Then the prepared tube
may be forced down and4held in place

picked the cucumbers they are pushed
down the tube by plunger or follower
until they reach the open place at the
bottom, when they sail in through the
bottom of the barrel and go up under

The barrel head can be turned half
around in the barrel occasionally, and

Tho correlation that for long time

Der OF 'annular' rings formed in the
trunk and the age of the tree has boon
refuted on the best of evidence. NJ.
Charency, the French explorer who yis-
tied the ruins of Plcnque, Mexico, in
1859, and again in 1882, and therefore at
an interval of % wears, found that trees
that had been cut by him in the first
named year had, in the short space of
less than aquarter Of century, grown
new trunks whichexhibited no less than

would appear chat equatorial plants
often form no less than IL concentric
growths in the space of year, two OF
which are usually much more developed
than the remainder, which appear to
correspond to period of maximum cir
