 Regaining the right road the travellers walked on until daylight, when they dis. covered that they were being followed by a Confederate home guard. Another long detour was necessary to throw him off the scent. They next entered region where slaves were few. Being almost starved, one of the party, who had secured fair Confederate uniform for disguise, enter ed wayside tavern to get food. In the barroom lounger gave him the sign of the Sons of America This brought them o friend indeed, who loaned the party mules to ride aud guided them five miles to the home of strong Union man.
 On the morning of the seventh day they found that they had made fifty miles of their direct journey. Their next chance friend was a woman whose acquaintance Richardson made by tapping at the door of a log cottage. After sprightly coiloquy she betrayed her sympathy with the Union cause. Richardson told his errand, re- ceiving the cheerful salutation:
 "If you are Yankees all have to say is that you have come exactly to the right place"
 Aft rward she said to Richardson: You were the first Yankee 1 ever saw. The moment observed your clothing knew you must be one, and wanted to throw my arms about your neck and kiss your

 "These men were walking arsenals. Each had trusty rife, one or two navy revolvers, u great bowie knife, hayersack and canteen."
 Guided and fed by such friends the refu- gees reached Tennessee early in January. Yet their perils were not over, for the mountains were patrolled by Confederate guerrillas. Once they had to ysss within quarter of a mile of notorious rendez. vous called Little Richmond. An invalid arose from his bed and guided them past the danger at the risk of his life. On an other occasion their guide, the celebrated Don Ellis, aroused the party from sleep with the startling announcement: "We have walked right into a nest of rebels. Several hundred are within few miles, eighty are in this immediate vicinity"
 The refugees scattered among the mount. aims in groups, each group having faith. ful guide Richardson and others were led by young woman who often performed this service, and whose name, MeliviDa Stevens, was not revealed until the war closed.

That Yankee TariH.

The United States consul at Tunstall, England, reports the following conversa- tion between two Englishmen which he overheard in an English hotel:
 "That Mckinley bill did it. No, there really has not been q wheel moved in that mill since that abomination went into effect. There was, as you know, rush enough up to that time to last for six months; there was an enormous amount of goods turned out"
 You mean to say" said the other, that the whole of that large plant is stoppedT'
 "Yes, as far as woOlen goods are conRcrned; they are doing little in the cotton factory; but, as say, the other mill has been shut down these three months past"
 But what Is he going to do about it?"
 Why, he Is going to do the only thing he can do, or any one in the American trade can do; he is going to move his plant to the States2 What else could he do? There Is no other open ing. All the other markets are over supplied, as you well know"
 Do you mean to tell me he Is really thinking of going to AInerica2"
 He is not only thinking of it, but looking at his watch) suppose he has gnne by this time, as he sails from Liverpool today on Q prospecting trip, and If he is assured that there is no probability of the Mckinley tariff being removed he will locate his mill and have his machinery shipped at once"
 Well" said tho other, "I believe this is just what those Yankees had in their minds. They want to force our manufacturers and their capital to go and settle down there."
 Is there any wonder that England re- joices at the recent Free trade victory, which had the effect of checking this exodus of capital from England3

LNOR SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS I been felt by the orange grower of southern california for fertilizer adapted to this fruit. We have been successful in finding just the Iood, and now offer to the orange 1rower our "Orangc Tree Fertilizer" IL Is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting ol bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and Is a complete manure for growing trees, from time oi setting out to iull maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates. according to Prof. Hilgard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- priyed by its long continuance m the cultiva- tion of such crops. In setting out trees, one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees a, cording tO the age ol the Iree-tree years otd, pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. IL the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer rlizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating. Price, s36 per ton.

Richardson's exit is described in his nar- rative us follows:
 "A few minutes later, taking & box filled with bottles in which the medicines were usually brought, and giving it to lad who assisted me in my hospital duties. started to follow them. As if ia great haste we walked rapidly toward the fence. When we reached the gate took the box from the boy and said to him, of course for the benefit of the sentinel;
 "'1 am going outside to get these bottles filled. shall be back in fifteen minutes, and want you to remain right here to take them and distribute them among the hos pitals Do not go away now
 "The lad understanding me perfectly re- piled, Yes, sir,' and I attempted to pass the sentinel by mere assurance. The sentinel stopped me with his musket, demanding:
 "'Have you pass, sirr .-.....-
 "'Certainly have pass replied, with all the indignation could assume. Have you not seen it often enough to know it by this timer
 Apparently little dumfounded, he re- piled modestly:
 "'Probably have; but they are strict with us and am not quite sure. ,"
 The sentinel examined the document, which was all right in Browne's hands, but all wrong in Richardson's. But he did not know the difference, and told Richard son to pass on. Once outside Richardson met several Confederate officials who knew him and knew that he was out of his place, but the peculiarly honest and business like look of that medicine box" threw them off their guard. Instead of entering the dispensary Richardson hid his box and slipped under a convenient shelter. At dark his friends joined him, and the three passed the outer guard without difficulty For The Tribune men this was the end of twenty months of captivity.
 The first night and day were passed in the barn of friendly citizen within one mile of the prison. The second night a Confederate lieutenant belonging to the Sons of America, an order of southern men who secretly aided the Union, met them and gave full directions how to reach friends on their journey. Then they set out on their long winter tramp, poorly clad and weak from long confinement
 The main guide of the refugees was a railroad track running west They were often obliged to leave the line, however, to avoid crowded settlements, and in making detours were frequently lost. In these emergencies they relied upon chance friends among the slaves to direct them aright. One night they were rested and refreshed in a slave cabin, "the first dwell ing" says Richardson, that I had enter ed for twenty months. It was rude almost to squalor, but it looked more palatial than the most elegant and luxurious sa- loon."
 The slave led them to the railroad from which they had strayed, and long walk took them near to a village. In avoiding this they lost their way and walked twelve

PORTRAIT OF ALBERT D. RICHARDSON.
 After spending ten months in the Sails bury prison, Richardson and his two com panions determined to take heavy risks to get out and make their way to the mount hns of East Tennessee. The outlook, ac- eording to the statistics of escapes during their experiences in that prison, was not at alpromising Out of seventy prisoners that lad passed the guard but five had reached the north. The others had been retaken VT had been shot in the mountains. By ex- 1raordinary good luck the trio passed the guards on the night of Dec. 17, 1864. At tae time all three were on duty in the hos. Pital, and Davis and Browne held passes permitting them to go outside the first line Usentinels to Confederate dispensary for supplies. This privilege had been enjoyed
 long that they were allowed to go on ,gnt The night of the escape Browne noaned his pass to Richardson, and with oa's walked coolly out to the dispensary

In the year 1873 the standard or "Bland" dollar was first issued, and most people considered it very handsome coin. but there are some critics who have never ceased to complain of the eagle with uplifted wings, which they derisively term a "buzzard." This talk has borne such fruit that congress has decided to improve the figure of the eagle, and has authorized the director of the mint to procure new designs.
