Was Indignant.

A man wearing a number of badges
went into a Chicago saloon, kept by a
German, and, calling the proprietor,
said:
"I had come in here to take drink
at your bar, but have discovered that
I should not patronize you"
HVell, how vas dot?"
Because, upon looking round after
coming in, see that you have an avn
ing made in imitation of the flag of my
country. It is a shame, sir; a miser-
able shame. I fought for that flag
fought for it while you were doing the
work of a slave in an oppressed en-
pire. 1 stood in trenches knee deep
in water, watching for the enemy.
while you occupied bed of straw in
your masters stable. Now you come
to this blessed country, where there is
no slavery, and, with the freedom
which we grant you, get money enough
to start saloon; and how do you re-
pay this country for the chance 1t has
given you? The first thing you do is
to take the blessed emblem of the re-
public and use it for an awning. I say
it is q shame, and, furthermore, 1 say
that you are An ingrate-a man that
has no heart of appreciation.
The German was staggered.
"Vy, mein frient, 1 no thought me Of
dot. I don'd wander brink de vlag o.
de goundry in disgrace"
But you have done it. Look at thai

When the fellow had gone, the Ger
man stood for time with his elbows
on the bar, and then, musing, said:
"I do belief dot man hat made 100

SPEEDWELL

Mr.. McCarthy's work on the new
railroad is progressing we'll The three
stone cuts on The north side of the
branch, on the land of Mrs. PauIina
CovingtOn, are nearly half done. Good
progress is being made in stone cut
just below, on the land of J. p. Logs
dom also above in several earth cuts,
on the lands Of James Evans and Hon.
w. B. White. About one hundred
hands are now at work, most of the
colored having gone home to remain
till March, when they will return, and
the force will be increased to probably
three hundred. The present force is

PHOTOGRAPHIC A FLYING BULLET

Photographs of the interior of the
gun are taken by means of the electric
light, and the Information obtained
by these means is most Valuable, and
is manifestIy more satisfactory than
that given by the method of taking
impressions of the bore IN soft rubber.
Photography has also been made use
Of in studying the motion of the pro-
jectile. In the case of large guns in
stantaEeOus views of the shot during
its flight have been successfully taken
by means Of a camera provided with a
quick-acting shutter. This method is
not applicable, however, to small arms
A rifle bullet is a very small object,
aud the camera must be set very near
its path in order to obtain a picture Of
sufficient size to be of use, bus the
nearer the instrument is placed to the
moving object to be photographed the
more rapid is the motion of the image
over the plate, aud no Instantaneous
or quick-acting shutter could possibly
be made to operate with sufficient rap
idity, or at the proper instant, to give
a sharply defined picture.
The desired end is accomplished,
however, by the aid of electricity.
The camera is provided with an ex-
tremely sensitive plate and placed in
a dark room, through which the bullet
is made to pass. Tue instant the bull
let is in front of the camera it breaks
an electric circuit, producing a spark
which illuminates the bullet for an
instant. and its image is impressed,
upon the sensitive plate. The durar
ton of the electric spark is almost
lnfinitesimal, and since the plate is
affected only during the continuance
Of the spark, well defined photograph
Of all object moving at greater veloc-
iiy than that of sound is obtained.
Such pictures show the condensation
OF the air in front Of the bullet, the
vacuum behind it, and the eddies and
currents produced in the surrounding
atmosphere by its motion, and they
afford information which is Of value
determining The best shape to be given
to the projectile in order TO reduce to
a minimum the resistance which the
air opposes to its flight, and so increase
its range and effect.-Scribner's Maya
zine.

Democrat Agreeable to his su.
perabundance of gall, he pays
himself glowing tribute. With
a flourish and a huzza, he an.
nOunces that he retires "witL
malice toward none and charity
for all" In the next paragraph
he says Of the Sun, his competi-
tor: 1--WE look upon it with that
compassion with which we have
viewed some pale, sicllly child,
destined TO an early grave" II
that sentence does not contain
enough malace TO poison an
ostrich or a shark, it is sufficiently
devoid Of charity-viewing the
Sun from his standpoint-to make
pig cry.
This Mr.. Beckner was the man
who published an unjust, untrue
and malicious article about US and
cur neighbors and friends, and
then positively refused to publish
our open letter to him, even for
pay. He virtually admitted sub
sequently that he was wrong in
the matter, but failed to make
even a pretense of an apology.

PROGRESSIVE FARMING IN TUE SOUTH.


The Manufactures Record watches
With much satisfaction the steady
progress farming is making in the
South, as indicated by a close reading
of exchanges. A line here and par
agraph there, although intended as
mere items of news. speak volumes as
to the enlightenment that is coming
to our farmers. This is true of All parts
Of the South, from Maryland to Texas
These items are a source Of satisfaction,
as they indicate growing independ-
ence Of the South in it's source of food
supply.
A recent letter from little town in
Northwestern Texas stated that "this
county will have plenty of hog and
hOminy for next year" How few the
counties in the South are that can
make better showing. In Georgia a
well-knOwn and progressive farmer
says he makes oats at 25 cents bushel
and sells them FOR 80 cents, and makes
bay for nearly nothing and sells it for
Sl7 a ton. Farmers IN New York
raise cows on land worth 500 or more
an acre, make butter at q cents a
pound and lay up money every year.
Farmers in the South are begin
ming to see that if there is money in
dairying in New York under these
conditions, there must be money in
it III The South where good pasture
land can be had at s. to $40 an acre,
and where most Of the butter now used
is imported. 1t requires but little more
care, food and attention to raise high
grade mich COWS than to raise COM
mon beef cattle, consequently we are
hearing every few days of herds of fine
cattle in the South, Jerseys, Holsteins,
Attorneys and others. Frequently we
have had occasion to speak of the
progress i'm fruit growing, and the
good results coming from this are the
many canning establishments going
up, as reported in our Construction
Department. To the friends of the
South these things are very gratifying,
as they indicate well developed
growth which will make the South
one Of the most wealthy and independ-
eDt empires in the world, an empire
that can feed itself, house itself, clolhe
itself and yet supply in addition more
than its quota of the worlds supply Of
raw material aud manufactured goods.

MR.. DAVIS AND GEN. BEAuREaARp.


Mr.. George Cary EggIeston contrib
utes the following to the New YORK
World touching the differences be-
tween Mr.. Davis and Gen. Beallre-
gard:
The absence Of Gen. Beauregard's
name from the list of Southerners who
took prominent part in the Obsequies
of Mr.. Jefferson Davis recalls the long
enmity between the two men. II
seems 10 me a matter of curious inter
est that the bitterest point of the quar-
rel probably arose from so Sigh. q
thing as the mispiacing Of a punctua-
ton mark in the transmission OF q
dispatch by telegraph.
AS nobody, so far as I know, has
ever directed attention to the matter,
and as neither Mr.. Davis nor Gen.
Beauregard seems ever to have dis
covered the cause of the misunder-
standing, it is worth while, perhaps,
TO point it out
After the retirement of Beauregard's
army from COrinth TO Tupelo, Beaure-
gard went away TO recover his health
and Mr.. Davis placed Gen. Bragg in
cUmmand.
Beauregard bitterly resented this as
an afirOnt. Davis justified his act on
the ground that, without asking leave,
the General was at the time "abOut to
leave on surgeons certificate for four
months" Besuregard's inspired bio
grapher, Col. Alfred Roman, charges
Mr.. Davis, by implication, at least.
with falsehOOd in making this state
ment, and cities Besuregard's dis
patch to the Acknowledgement as fol-
lows:
"Gen. Bragg has just communicated
20 me telegram sending him to relieve,
temporarily. Gen. Lowell. His pres
ence here consider indispensable, at
this moment especially, and am leav-
ing for a while on surgeons certificate.
For four months have DELAYED obey
ing their urgent recommendations in
that respect. desire to be back here
to retake the offensive as soon as our
forces shall have been sufficiently re-
| organized. / must have a short resi-. "
Col. Roman says of the dispatch
ave ask the reader to examine its
phraseOlogy carefully and say whether
ii could be so construed as to convey
the idea that Gen. Beauregard was
about to leave on surgeons certificate
for four months.'D
The candid reader will certainly
answer yes, if ne remembers that the
dispatch went to Mr.. Davis by wire,
and observe that the transportation of
period not only renders such con-
structiOn possible, but makes that the
evident meaning of the message. Gen.
Beauregard wrote ST am leaving
for a while on surgeons certificate
For four months have delayed" &c.
As Mr.. Davis received the dispatch it
evidently read 81 am leaving for a
while on surgeons certificate for four
months. have delayed" &c.
A comparison Of the dispatch as sent
and the dispatch as received would
have shown both men that a mere
misunderstanding had occurred through
very simple error in telegraphic
transmission. But no such compari-
son was made and each suspected the
other of deliberate Justification.

ARE YOU LEFT-LEGGED {?

A paper on "Left-Leggedness" was
read before the British Association by
DR.. w. X. Sibley, who said that Prof
Ball, in lie Daulisme Cerebral, -
speaks Of a man as a right-handed ami
NAL. Being right-handed, it is pop
ularly assumed that he is also right
legged, but this does not appear to be
he case. Standing wO rking with the
right hand, there is a tendency to use
the left leg for balance. Many people
find less eXertion in going round circles
to the right than circles 10 the left.
Race paths are nearly always made
for running in circles to the right
So the majOrity of movements are
more readily performed TO the right,
as dancing, running, etc. The rule in
walking is TO keep to the right, and
this appears to be almost universal.
1t is more natural to bear to the right.
or large number Of people from the
better educated classes asked about the
existence Of the rule, only 81 per cent.
males and 80 per cent. females were
aware Of the rule. The large majority
obey it unc0nsciOusly in walking.
Crowds tend to bear to the right. The
left leg being the stronger, it is more
readily brought into action. Hence
troops start off with the left foot. Il
is the foot which is placed in tile stir
Iup Of the saddle or the step of the
bicycle in mounting. So the LEFT is
the foot which a mau takes off from
in jumping. In the experience of Mr..
q. II. Darwin, blindfolding boys and
telling them to walk straight, the
right-handed one diverged to the right
and vice versa. From measurments
of DR.. Carson Of the skeletons of the
two legs i'm 54.3 per cent. the left was
the longer aud 55.S the right. For
measurements of the feet the author
collected the measurements Of 900 pairs,
with the result that in A per cent. the
left was longer, in 2l.5 per cent. the
right and in 34.5 per cent. they were
the same size. Measurement at the first
joint gave So per cent. left larger, and
at the instep AZ per cent. From the
table of the figures it is observed that
the left foot is more frequently the
larger IN the male than the female
sex, and the per eentage Of feet Of the
same size is greater in the female.
The percentage Of the right larger
than the left is very constant, whereas
the numbers of the left larger and
those in which both feet were the same
size are much more variable. Man,
being naturally or artificlaliy right
handed aud left-legged. tends unccn-
to bear to the right; lower
animals, on the other hand, appear
nearly always to circle 70 the left.
