LONDON, Sept 22-The first issue OF
Davitt's weekly The Labor World, has
met with an astonishing SALE and its
declarations Of principle and programme
are hailed with evident satisfaction by the
classes whose interests Mr. DRvitt espouses.
These include not merely the laboring
men. but the tenant farmers, the small
shopkeepers, and in fact all persons OF
small means. For this reason the scope
of the paper is considerably broader than
aTg previous journal Of its kind. Mr..
Davitt is student Of sociological ques-
tions, aud is inclined 70 take the view that
the interests of all classes are identical;
that what would help one would help all
and that the problem is to find the fatal
defect which makes civilization tend to
ward unstable relations among the classes,
and ultimate general collapse. He is
more inclined toward Henry Georges doc
trine than toward socialism. II is thought
that The Labor World will largely sup
plant Reynolds Weekly Newspaper, the
great social democratic organ, which has
had circulation Of nearly half a million
copies among the laboring classes. Rey-
nold's is q socialist paper, and Is very bit
ter in its attacks upon the upper classes
There is growing demand, however, for a
popular organ with little more argument
and little less vituperation.

could the other man be doing all this
time? Surely he did not mean to carry

grew impatient He'd be hanged if
The shrill scream of an approaching

He knew from the peculiar sound that
he must be nearly in range, and he
looked in vain for shelter. The ground
was smooth and level, not the least hol-
low 70 protect the smallest object.
Action must be instantaneous, and he
threw himself alongside the bottom
board of the fence. With scream as of
exultation the shell cut of the tips of
the pickets above him, and descended
into the garden in the precise direction
which the Major had taken.
The sergeant spranS 10 his feet and
whistled. No answer Again and again
he uttered the signal. Still no response.
He ran along the fence for few yards,
and was about to climb over when the
Major appeared, fairly loaded down with
cabbages, and covered with dirt from
head TO foot.
As soldiers say, he had had close
call. He was pulling a cabbage when he
heard the she'll approaching and at once
pitched forward to avoid t. The she'll
went into the ground about foot from
his head, and nearly buried him alive.
The two men hurried back to camp as
quickly as possible, and carried their
greens" with them.

abilities were not duly abprecia Ted by
the Grange. The Alliance was to be a
great political renovator in the State
and a medium for gigantic bust
ness operations Il has failed in
politics and is ruined financially, and
what is worse; it has ruined hundreds Of
farmers who had faith in the schemes
of its widest MANAGERS, and has created
o distrust for farming organizations
which will last for many years. The
rush for the Alliance decreased the
active membership OF the Grange and
somewhat impaired its influences, but
it stood the test and is now tower of
strength for the farmers of the State in
it's conservative business methods, in
its means Of education and its Influence
iii politics. The TEXAS lesson SHOULD
Be needed by farmers everywhere.
While we think this review some
what severe and unjust, the fact re-
mains that the Alliance is passing
through the same trials and dangers
which the Grange successfully COM
batted twenty years ago and with very
mulch less power TO evade: The lesson
to farfRers is undoubtedly this: that
true, tried and strong organization
should not be deserted for new and
dntried one. The fact is, that with all
the growth of the Alliance in many
sections; the TRANCE is growing in solid
strength as never before, and is proving
itself the farmers best friend as never
before.-Our Grange Home.

GATHERING cABBAGEs.

An Adventure of Two Soldiers Inside
the Besieged City of Vicksburg.
The author of the History of the
Third Regiment Louisiana Infantry
narrates an adventure which befell two
OF his fellow-soldiers while the regiment
was inside the besieged city of Vicks-
burg, shortly before its surrender. One
OF them had discovered field of cab
bages not far from the camp, and as the
army was on painfully short rations the
two men determined tomake raid upon
1t that evening, in spite of the fact that
the owner was known to be on guard
armed with a shotgun.
A loose picket was found at one point
in the fence, and the Major wedged him
self through the opening, while the
sergeant remained outside to keen
watch. The Major disappeared in the
darkness, and the sergeant was all ewes
and ears.
From the breastworks came the sound
of the sharpshooters' rife-shots. with
the occasional roar of a piece OF artil-
lery. Mortar shells, with blazing fuses.

SOME YOUNG SOLDIERS.

Two Who Were Ten Years Old When En-
tering the Service.
Some time ago the WincOnsin Legis-
lature awarded a gold medal to Ii. E.
Francisco, of Mason City, Iowa, as the
youngest soldier of the civil war. He
was fourteen years old when he enlist
ed in the Union army. Half-a-dozen
claimants sprang up at once to contest
Mr.. FranciscO's title. Job j. Drake, of
Long Eddy, Sullivan County, n. Y,
proved that he was at least as young as
Mr.. Francisco when he enlisted as a
drummer-boy. c. III. Wynn, of Sioux
City, j. L. Klepinger and Andrew Links,
of Chicago, proved that they were
younger, the first being thirteen years
and eleven months old, the second thir-
teen years and four months, and the
third thirteen years and three months,
when they entered the service But all
these claimants were thrown in the
shade by Gilbert Van Zandt. of Chicago,
now adjutant of Hancock Post No. 500,
and Joseph ii. White, now of New
Britain, Conn. Both were ten wears of
age when they entered the service. Mr..
Van Zandt was born December 81, 1851,
and enlisted August 81, 1862; Mr.. White
was born June Is, 1853, and enlisted
January 3, 1854. In other words, the
former was ten years eight months and
eleven days old, the latter ten years
six months and twenty days old, when
they entered the Service. San Francis

The farmers of Ohio are inclined to
assert their rights within their several
parties, which should be granted by
reason of their numbers and the i'm.
portance of their calling. Shall it be so,
or shall we, as farmers, go on to the
end of time as the tools OF our several
parties? 1t is a most important ques-
ton presented for solution The test is to
be made this fall in connection with
the election of Congressman. Will
farmers have the backbone to ask of
their several nominating conventions,
that in districts where farmers are in
the majority, that farmers shall be
nominated and elected? The Grange
position is or should be understood 1t

DEATH TO BACTERIA.
Coffee Discovered to Be a Good and &c,
nomlczl Disinfecfant.

C5ffee Discovered to Be a Good and Eco.
nomlczl Disinfectant.
An old negro living in a district where
the disease often prevailed, once told
the writer that one Of the best pre-
Veht.Ve measures against yellow fever
was Infusion of coffee. Some years ago
he passed through an epidemic of that
grave malady Under the worst possible
conditions. For 1T least a month he oc-
etpied the quarters of large number
bf sufferers passing night and day
AMONG them, eating and sleeping in
their midst
Recalling the homely advice given
Him, he faithfully tried coffee as an
ahtiseptic and drank freely Of d very
Strong Infusion five or six times day,
and odhtihued the practice all the time
he was under exposure. He was for
tunate enough to escape contsgion, but
never attached much Importance to the
use of the coffee. Cons dering the re-
suits of recent developments, it would
seem that the old negro was right in at
tribhting ahtiseptie properties 10 it.
A Series of experiments conducted BY
a German professor has proved that
they are quite marked: Several differ
ent forms of intestinal bacteria were
experimental upon, and their develop
tieiit and growth were found in all
cases to be ifiterfered with by the addi-
ton of small quantity of coffee infu-
sion to nutrient gelatin. In pure infu-
sion the bacteria were rapidly de-
stroyed.
The Question as to what constituent
exercise the antiseptic effect cal hot
yet be fully determined. The caffeine
is certainly active in only slight de-
gree; the tann'n to somewhat greater
extent; but, presumably, of greatest i'm
portaflce are the substances that are de-
veloped by roasting. 1t is interesting
to note that cup of coffee, left in
room for week or more, remains al
