Where the lengthening shadows meet.

Aud hope, that were strong aud rrest,
Bright hope, that were crushed and broken
By the pirless band OF fstey

Yet We nger and softly tread

Death Of a Strange Character.

Walter l. Tabbut, fAmiIiarly known a.
the South Addison hermit, was found
dead in his hut last Monday afternoon.
He was last seen alive The previous Thurs
day, and the -uppusitton i that he did

since he adopted hermit life i've years
ago. 1t il evident that lie had been dead
for some time as d>cOlOlatiOn had set IN
and blood was onzlng from the mouth and
nostrils In reviewing his strange career
il appears more like fiction than fact IL
is learned Of him that in his b0yhoOd days
he fell a victim to a religious excitement
and Joined the Adyents, at that time sect
of considerable numbers in his nelghbor-
hood. Soon after his conversion he gave
himself up TO Bible reading and prayer,
and so Jealous was he in his devotlons
that he did not hesitate TO pray at all times
and on all occasions, and during schooi
hours he would break out in boisterous
PRAYER. few years later he took TO read
ing the Koran, and il the course OF time
came out ull-fedged Mohammedan.
Forsaking his fathers house he repaired
to neighboTng wood, where he built
small stone house that for five years has
served as his dwelling. In the centre OF
his abode. resting upon four stakes, is the
wooden box in which he has slept. This,
together with all open fire and lew COOK
ing utensils, made up his household effects
He was exact in the performance OF MS re-

The Oxford me. Democrat tells a good
story of the late Cyp Whitman, who had
very peculiar voice. Cyp was member
of the 18th Maine, in the Department of the
Gulf. One day that regiment was out on
dress parade, when short. stumpy officer,
with short legs and broad expanse OF ao.
domen, came riding past. Cyp allowed
his astonishment to overcome his discre-
ton. What is that?" he asked, in his
in,mitable voice. Instantly discipline was
lost, laughter ruled supreme. Cyp was ar,
rested and taken to the guard house and
finally before the regimental officers. and
was asked, Ibid you know that military
scipline forbids you to speak disresspect,,
fully Of an officer% And again was heard =,
that thin drawl, "Was that an officer?'
And now it was the officers turn to roar
and Cyp was dismissed without punish
ment or reprimand. 1t is added that the
officer was Benjamin Franklin Butler,

Our Wool Interest.

From an address delivered before the
Farmers Congress recently held In Mont
gomery, Ala, by Hon. William Lawrence
of Ohio. we copy some statistics showing
our wool supply for the last fiscal year
The domestic clip from 80, 500, 079 sheep
was 240, 600 900 pounds; imported comb
ing wool equal to unwashed, 1900, 900 !;
imported clothing wool equal to I'M
washed, So 900 600; imported carpet wool
equal to unwashed, $50 900 600; imported
waste. etc, equal to unwashed wool, 26,
goo 900; imported wooden goods requiring
unwashed wool, 5000 900 pounds-a
total Of Gl9,0o00 600 pounds. Thus, out
of over 629 ,000,0 600 pounds Of wool con-
sumed In the United States during the
last fiscal year, only 24o 1000 pounds
were produced at home, the 3S9 900 600
were produced abroad and imported into
this country, which is fitted to be the
greatest wool-producing country In the
world. If produced AT home 1t would
have added something like $50, 900 900 to
the receipts of our farmers, while retain
ing the money at home to add to the
volume of our business transactions.
