Horror. Of Ander.onyilIe.

In reviewing his prison life at An
Jacksonville. in the National Tribune,
Comrade Lloyd G. Thompson says:
More than 25 years ago the gates Of
the Southern prison pen swung open
for the egress OF living Union prison
ers OF war, and, leaving nearly one
half of their numbers resting in South
ern soil, the remnant crept forth. q
spectacle to awaken commiseration in
the breast OF a savage. Nearly naked,
grimy with smoke and dirt, swarming
with vermin from head to feet their
skins clinglng to their bones and re-
sembling J mildewed parchment,
blotched with scurvy, covered with
gangrenous sores, their hair falling
from their heads, their nails falling
from their toes, and their teeth
so loose that they could push them out
with their tongues.
Many of these men crawled home
to die; none OF them were able to do
any manual labor for months; nearly
all of them exhausted their slender
supplies of money in paying doctors
bills, and all of them had drawn 50
/
heavily on life's forces during their
confinement as to render them prema-
turely old, and to permanently unfit
them for the tolls and struggles OF
life.
A prompt exchange Of prisoners is
recognized by the people of the civil
lied world us one of the ameliorating
conditions of modern warfare, and vet
it was our government that refused to
exchange. A stern and cruel neces-
sity may have justified this action at
the time, but what necessity can be
urged in extcnuation OF the continued
neglect of the survivors of Southern
prisons? Sympathy for the men who
starved for their country has been
sincere and general, but thus far, it
has expended itself in words.

Onions.

Take one year with another the
onion crop is about rs profitable a
crop MS the small farmer or tho
market gardener can grow. Tho
market gardener, however, would not
grow them in the Same way nor sell
them in the some condition that the
small farmer would He would raise
small onion sets and these he would
pull and dry and early the next spring
no would set them out in rows. He
would commence pulling these for
market and sell them in punches just
as soon as they began to form small
bulbs and would probably have them
nll sold before they were ripe. Onions
grown and sold in this form have
been known to bring from 5000 TO
$1,000 for the product OF an acre. But
then there is u large charge for labor
to balance against this income.
Small farmers, even at consider
able distance from market, can grow
ripe onions, with profit II all the con-
ditions and the management are cor

tions is, good rich soil. II it be rich

Fought Under Fourteen rags
Gen. Ronald MacIver who was en-
joying n peaceful interval in the Uni
ted States while waiting to take com
mand OF the San Salvador army, is
considered by experts the champion
soldier, of the world. That is, he has
been in more battles and fought under
more flags than any other man now
Living.
He has documents (and many scars)
TO show that he has fought under four
teen flags, and has been repeatedly
promoted and decorated for conspicu-
GUS gallantry. Unfortunately for him,
many of his campaigns have been for
causes that were unsuccessful, such as
the southern Confederacy. Macmillan
in Mexico, and the Carlist war in
Spain; and where successful the re-
wards were not great. He may be
called an American, as he was born In
vessel on the coast Of Virginia in
1871, and he calls that his native
state, but his parents were Scotch, his
biother of the famous Douglas clan
and his father McIver OF high social
rank in Edinburgh.
At the age OF 16 he joined the army
in India. just in time to help put
down the Scpoy rebellion OF 1888.
In this war. when surrounded by the
encmy's cavalry. he killed two OF

Tho sIlk-worm Mulberry.

Since the formation of the Women's
Silk Culture association. now several
years ago. u great deal OF interest has
been excited in the silk worm indus
try. Plants are sent free to those who
give proper guarantee that they will
cultivate them for the purpose speci-
fed. The association started right at
first. by deciding on the use Of the
Morus alba, the white mulberry, as the
proper one for the purpose. and they
have adhered to the sending out OF
this one alone, despite the we'll
meant but mistaken advice OF somo
persons to use the multicaulis, or
some other one differing from the
alba 1t is said that the silk from
worms fed on the leaves OF the multi
caulis is finer than that from those fed
on the alba While this may be SOFT is
well known to those familiar with the
subject that multicaulis-fed worms do
not long continue healthy. This was
why the industry came to an end
many years ago, when the craze
known to Philadelphians us the "mul-
ticaulis fever ragged. Though there
were many who went into the business
from excitement alone. believing that
1t offered large field for great profits,
there was nothing then to prevent its
paying q fair profit, excepting that the
wrong kind OF mulberry was used.
There was something in the multicau-
lis which did not agree with the
worms. They siclScned and died. and
this it was which brought the business
to an end. The explanation given for
the lack of fitness OF the plant was,
that as it was but variety and not u
truo species, 1t could not be raised
cuttings and layers. The excessive
propagation the demand called for so
weakened the plants that they became
sickly, and thus caused lack OF health
in the worms; and no doubt this was
tho cause OF failure. The mulberry
now used is raised from seeds, which
insures healthy tree to start with.
Tho stripping OF the leaves to feed the
worms, OF course Injuries the trees to
some extent The wisest way Is TO
set out enough trees, that one SGT can

Even then the trees in use should only

defoliated. it is almost death to them.

AS said above, the common white
mulberry, Morus alba, has been found
the best OF all trees that have been
tried.

IL is twenty long years and more ago
We camped In the light OF the orange glow
On Virginia's soil, In sight of our foes,
And dimly the light Of our campfire rose,
And we watched at Failing Waters.
The wind blew freshly DER the clover farms.
AS all that night we had rest on our arms.
Morn came, and we knew ere set Of tho sun
The battle nearing would be lost or won,
On the field OF Falling Waters.
We shuddcr'd not, but firmly we stood,
AS the Kissing foe came down like flood I;
And we brayed the storm OF his leaden rain,
And soon on the path lay the enemy slain,
When we charged ut Falling Waters.
We pressed them backward with bay'net
and shot,
And fierce grew the fight, but we wavered
not;
BY the noon tide sun we put them to rout,
Oh,never again did their banners fout
Ger freeman at Falling Waters!
Aye, we fought and bled our work Ia done !;
We wear decorations our valor won;
BY year by year the old veterans fall.
And soon in vain shall our county call
For soldiers of Failing Waters.

Mulching In Winter.
Mulching OF trees is usually not
thought OF until it is found that
drought is injuring them. BY this
time. OF course. the soil has become
thoroughly dried. and as the mulch
itself will absorb light rains, it may
absolutely do little good during the
remainder OF the growing season.
The very best time to apply mulch is
in the winter while the soil Is frozen.
The ground is then full OF moisture
and the mulch prevents its evapora-
ration. In winter it has also several
other good effects, especially around
bearing fruit trees. The mulch, by
preventing the soil from thawing
out quickly. keeps back fruit
buds that might in some places put
out and be destroyed by late frosts. 1t
also helps to prevent too deep freez-
ing Of the soil. which in dry land
sometimes kills otherwise hardy trees.
There are fewer objections to II mulch
in winter than in summer. During
the growing season con tinuous mulch
ing keeps the soil near the surface so
moist that it encourages the tree roots
TO form near the surface. So, If mulch
ing ia done in summer, it must be
kept up during the win ter, in order
that these surface roots be not frozen
| dry and killed.

A Story OF the Draft.


The provost in their peculiar line
OF duty had many serious as we'll as
amusing adventures. The following
is true incident, and | have often
met the hero when we were in front
OF Petersburg.
One of the selectmen of n town in
New England had been very active In
procuring recruits, but was like the
man who urged others to get religion
but forgot to get any himself. 1t had
never occurred to his mind TO
set an example and enlist him
self. When the draft came he drew u
prize-to go. Going to dentist he
had all his front teeth extracted. Proud
OF his own Yankee sharpness, he
boasted to his friends that he had
procured his own exemption without
expense. AS the man was sound in
every way the provost telegraphed to
Washington for instructions, and re-
ceived orders to take the man and
accept neither substitute nor excuse
for exemption, as an example must be
made in this case" The conscript
who was man OF wealth. was
ut once taken, and as he could
not serve very we'll in infantry,
he was assigned to artillery. He had
false set OF teeth made by dentist.
and thus equipped, was ready for army
rations, hard or soft. Unfortunately
the first day out from Boston the false
teeth followed the baked beans over
the side OF the steamer, and he landed
at the front in poor shape to utilize
the lovely bareback and army beef
He made good soldier at the Gals
sons. but was always late in getting
through his rations, as it required
time, teeth and tough jaws to inter-
view bareback and investigate army
beef. ---Drad, in Rural Call.

decided, is to become a fortified port,
says the Chicago Tribune. The plan
laid out involves the expenditure OF
$ll, 200. 900. The principal points of
fertilization will be Nahant. Growers

teen in all. The mortar batteries
will be the same rs those OF Nahant.
The 12-inch rifles will be mounted on
hydraulic lifts. The batteries on
Deer Island will be the heaviest in the
harbor. They will consist OF two 16-
inch rifles mounted in revolving tur-
rets, five of 8-inch rifles on disap-
pearing carriages" and thirty-two

Price, but added that they were all
the outcome of an episode in his
life long passed, and that its memo
ry would never have again revived
but for the fact of his candidacy.
They spoke in high terms of his
legal experience and general fitness
for the place, and laid special stress
upon his many and generous quail
ties. It was no use. The attor-
ney-general had prejudged the
case, and he has already notified
one of tho senators that Mr.. Pierce
cannot be appointed. Perhaps the
Attorney-general's partiality for
Mr.. Beatty may have influenced
him in this matter. I say perhaps,
but I cannot say positively upon
this point. But I have reason to
believe that Mr.. Beatty will in the
end be selected. Two of the Idaho
senator's will protest strongly
against his selection, and they may
possibly prevent it, In that case
compromise candidate will
probably be agreed upon. T.
It is by no means certain that
Joseph Pinkham will be appointed
marshal. Pinkham, it will be re-
membered, was also recommended
by the senators. Charges have
been filed against him, but of a
character different from those
against Mr.. Price. The attorney
general is apparently we'll satisfied
with the present incumbent and
from what / learn would be willing
to continue him in Office.

law has never been held to apply
to newspaper advertisements of is
sues of bonds of French cities and
to similar financial obligations to
