A FIRE ZOUAXE.

His Dying Request on tho Field OF Battle.
A private letter from young soldier
in Company F, Eleventh Massachusetts,
regiment, who was in the Stone Bridge
battle, relates the following:
I must tell you of the noble bravery
of one of Ellsworth's Zouaves- He had
been shot in the wrist, and the ball had
severed an artery. 1t was after we had
made the second charge upon the tat
terry, and had lost my gun, which had
been knocked from my hands by a can
non ball, and was now in the rear OF
my company when / saw the Zouave
creeping towards me. Boy" said he,
for Gods sake hold me up minute, !
am gone under, but let me fire once
more on them" I held him up, and
facing him round toward the enemy,
steadied his arm, while he fred six
shots from his revolver at them. / then
helped him down the hill towards the
hospital tent, short distance, when he
asked me to examine his side, as he felt
pain there. l opened his clothes, and
found that a ball had passed through
his body. l carried him little fur.
ther, when suddenly our whole body,
artillery, infantry and all, were rush
ing upon us in full retreat, and crying
ont ''all save yourselves who can."
Co" said the brave zouave, ''go my
boy, you are not hurt, and am dead
man; they can not hurt me any more,
go, for Gods sake, CO. and i had to
leave him there on the ground know
ing 1 could do nothing more for the
poor fellow. Oh! the horrors cf this
war, how shall describe my feelings.

AN EXTINCT DANDY.
The Role that tho First English Gentleman
of n Century Ago Played.

of n Century Ago Played.
Roughly speaking, fine gentleman
Of the Georgian era ordinarily began
the day about 10 o'clock in the forenoon
by a general reception OF visitors in his
dressing chamber, having first fortified
himself for the arduous task by swal-
lowing cogue of Nantsey. When the
last batch of callers had taken their de-
parture he arose and placed himself
under the superintendent of his valet
for about two hours Now was brought
into requisition his extensive assort-
ment of perfumery- of Venus, spirit
of lavender, altar of roses, spirit of Gin
namon, or eau dcluce, among others
with which the various articles of attire
were severally and carefully sprinlsled.
Then, as now, there were in vogue GER
tain sweetly scented soaps, which were
largely patronizedby fashionable beaux,
and with cake of one of these he free
ly lathered his hands and face. He next
dabbed his face with scented powder
till it was as white as that of miller,
and plastered his hair with scented
| pomatum, and having perfumed his
| poclset-handkerchief with rose or jessa
mine water, tied his cravat and adjusted
his periwig, he finally sat down to dine
about 3, either alone or in company
with his friends The repast concluded,
he bucSled on his sword, brushed his
hat with much care, gave it the cock, "
placed it with great ceremony on his
head, and for a brief space surveyed
, himself in the mirror. When quite sat
isfed with his appearance, the beau
took up his cane. ordered a sedan-chair,
and proceeded in state to some coffee
house in the neighborhood of st. James
generally White's), where for about an
hour he aired his political views, or
tickled the ears of the company with
choice samples of his wit and pleas
antry, intermingled with jests from the
newest play or the gist of the latest
lated Then this "killing creature"
having first smeared his upper lip with
snuff, hailed chair and was borne
ong to the door of the playhouse,
where, instead of attending to the per-
formance This mind would have recoiled
with horror at the thoughtD he wan
dered from pillar to post, now laughing
and chatting with his friends, and then
pulling out by turns his watch and
pocket handkerchief When the play
concluded the beau usually repaired
either to the coffee house or to the resi-.
dence of some boon companion, with
whom he spent the remainder of the
night, lending hand at crimp, ombre,
loo or whist, over bowls of punch and
bottles of claret, until the small hours
of the following morning-not infre

most of the war on Gen. Hooler's staff,

of Mexico, where he is the agent of an

badge of the Loyal Legion.
GEN. MILES standard story is abou,
a soldier who, during an engagement.
became panic-stricken, and, turning his
back upon the enemy, ran like deer.
Here, your the general called in
sternest martial tones; what are you
running for?" The man stopped not,
nor did he turn his head, but yelled
back: 'Im running because l can't fly. y

Tavern, just outside of Richmond, he
was last seen for many months Many
of the soldiers refugeed TO New Or
leans with the intention of going to
South America While there Whiting
ton came in, to their great surprise, for
many thought him captured and hung
as spy. While there he became in.
volved in a difficulty with some lawless
soldiers and killed three. He then went
to Mexico and joined Maximillian. He
seemed to have been long acquainted
with him and his officers, though his
companions knew we'll enough to
ask no questions. After the down
fall of the emperor he smuggled goods
across the border for time, but he
finally disappeared and nothing was
heard of him till he turned up as a
scout of Barrias in South America
When that campaign was over he came
to Texas and lived quietly on farm
until he died. last week.
He died from the effect of bullet
that had lodged near his heart, and
very suddenly. When they went to
dress him for burial he was completely
clothed in heavy suit of Spanish chain
armor, dented and battered by bullets
that had come in contact with it. The
only thing about him that would in any
way lead to his identity was a seal ring
hung around his neck with chain, on
which was cut an olive branch. People
who took an interest in him often tried
to trace up his past life and lineage
thinking him to be of some noble fam.
ily and that he had exiled himself, but
they were unsuccessful, and he died a.

his identity. st Louis Clio be- Democrat

PLAN OF SHEEP BARN.

enough to move the hay dropped in the
center. and wider barn would be
harder to ventilate. Our hay doors are
in the end, are twelve feet wide by
fourteen feet high, and hung at the
bottom on heavy hinges, have a staple
and ring near the top on the inside to
which rope is attached to fasten to
the hay carrier to lower and raise the
door as needed.
Where stone and brick are scarce and
expensive, the barn can be all frame
except a foundation, which should be
as high as the manure is allowed to
accumulate.
Twenty-four foot posts can be used
and the first eight feet taken for the
sheep stable and the balance used for
the hay barn. If ersilage is wanted it
can be built longer, and as much at
one end used for silo as is necessary
to supply the flock with a succuient
ration each day.
1t is good plan to build in the form
of an l., as this gives shelter from the
prevailing winds, yet there is one OBJ
lection to this-lach of yard room.
The thirty by fifty foot barn with
three wide doors can be divided into
three apartments, with long feed racks,
or with movable panels of fence where
the round racks are used. Two or
three hay chutes should run up through
the center of the barn, these should be
boarded up with doors on sides that
should be kept shut when not feeding;
these act as ventilators and should
pass up to the ventilators in the cupolas
on the roof of the barn.
To illustrate the ground plan of such
a barn | give the accompanying dia-
gram.
AA A. Compartments of barn six
teen and two-thirds bv thirty feet.
BIB b. Yards thirty by sixty feet.
The middle one will be as much less
way to watering place not more than

CCC. Doors of barn ten feet wide.
Odd D Gates to yards.
E E L E E f. Large windows.
FF. Chutes for hay and ventilator
G. Well or watering trough for all
yards.
HH. Better place for watering
troughs.
Ill Round feeding racks If panel.
of movab e fence are used to form
the compartments.
In stormy and windy weather this
barn should be closed on the side o.
sides from which the storm comes auS
opened on the opposite sides giving
plenty of fresh air at all times.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

In cold weather care should be taken
to gather the eggs regularly in order
to avoid loss.
ONE objection to keeping the eggs
too long for Matching is that old eggs
are apt to hatch out weak chickens
OSE advantage with both ducks and
geese is that they can be kept for
breeding number of years without a
change.
No TINE should DO lost in securing
whatever ducks are wanted for breed
ing. They will begin laying early in
the year.
ALL domestic poultry swallow their
food without mastication. 1t passes
into the gizzard where it is prepared
for digestion.
IN nearly all cases il hen begins to
moult late, the sooner she is marketed
the better, as she will not lay until she
has finished moulting.
Dry picking has an advantage in that
the fowls look plumper and neater than
when scalded, while the feathers are
easier to get ready to market st
