Places That Have Been Benefited by
Fiction.
How many people realize that Amer
lean tourists leave in this country from
twelve to twenty million sterling at
least per annum? Such is the fact.
Does anybody imagine that they come
here to look at our buildings and
streets? No. Upon reflection, nobod,
can fail to see that the main raason
why the bulk of them viSit, ms is to sec
the places made me1eJrable by Shake
speare, Johnsrc11l, Scott and Burns, Dick.
ems al Thackeray, George Eliot aRJ
Charlotte Bronte, Blackmore anG
Black. The Indebtedness of Gradgrind
to romance is, therefore, by no mean
inconsiderable, particularly when it /
remembered that we, too, spend a con
siderable sum yearly in the same direc-
ton. Shakespeare has Indirectly be-
slowed millions of pounds on the in
habitants of those places with which
his name is associated. Not to mention
Stratford-on-Avon, there is, for ex-
ample, Rochester, town which unites
recollections of the great dramatist
and Of Dickens. Near Gad's Hill stands
an inn on the very spot that Shake
speare doubtless had in his mind when
writing that scene in Henry ", where
Falstaff meets with the ''Inen in buck
ram" Round about, as everybody
knows, are many buildings and dis
tricts made famous by the ere
ator of the Pickwick Club. To
this neighborhood American pilgrims
come in shoals, either before going or
after having gone around such bits of
Dickens London as still remain. Scott,
even while living, enriched whole dis
tricts. When 'St Romans Well' was
published the notables of the little
town honored in the romance voted by
reclamation" says Lockhart, ''that the
old name of Innerleithen should be, as
far as possible, dropped thenceforth,
and that of st. Romans adopted. Nor
were they mistaken in their auguries.
An unheard-of influx of water bibbers
forthwith crowned their hopes; and
spruce hotties and huge, staring lodg-
lighthouses soon arose to disturb Woe
fully every association that had induced
Sir Walter to make Innerleithen the
scene of a romance. Nor were they
who profted by these invasions of the
genius loci at all sparing in their de-
monstrations of gratitude. The trav-
eler reads on the corner of every new
erection there 'Abbottsford Place.
'Waverley Row. The Marmion Hotel
or some inscription of the like coinage"
Such was one case in point. The inter
est in the works of the Northern Ma
gician has since his death, scarcely, if
at all, diminished. Abbottsford itself is
still so popular resort that the fees
paid by visitors amount to about e4OO a
year; and tourists go about in as great
numbers as of yore, the Lady of the
Lake" ''Marmion," or one of the
Scotch novels in hand looking up the
places they have long pictured in mag
lnation.-Cassell's Saturday Journal.

OBSCURTTY.

Ihaye seen pure, white lily
Rear its stately, Gueenly head
In close, secluded corner,
Where no ray Of light was shed.
Ihave noticed twas surrounded
BY ungainly, scentless flowers,
But they did not mar its beauty,
As it bloomed away the hours.
No! Its purity and freshness
By the contrast was increased;
To remember the great lesson
That it taught, have not ceased.
As that lily through the summer,
Mid surroundings coarse, could bloom.
Almost hidden from the sunshine,
Casting, yet, its sweet perfume,
Somay lives refined and noble
Often flourish in the shade,
Basking only in the sunlight
That their own pure thoughts have
made
Though the song they sing may never
BY the world at large be heard,
In some heart toil-wOrn and weary,
Good impulses may be stirred.
And the gracious, tender Father
Loves that unknown soul the same
As the one whose name is written
On the broad white scroll Of fame.

Salt as q Fertilizer.

The farmers in the vicinity of the
Gambo powder mills, in Windham,
Conn, use as fertilizer the salt which
accumulates in great quantities at the
mills The salt comes from the salt
peter, and its separation from the inter

the most difficult and important feature
Of powder-making In the year 1868
tobacco was pretty scarce in the North,
and its cultivation was instituted in
Connecticut. At that time 500 tons of
salt had accumulated at the powder
mills, and it was sold to the Connecticut
tobNcco growers as a fertilizer for one
cent a pound delivered at a wharf in
Portland. 1t took four months to haul
It. For what was considered worthless,

The Parrot and the Dog.

This particular parrot is fond of hoaxing
the dog, an amusement in which many Of
his race appear to take a real pleasure, and
which seems strongly TO support the idea
that they can think. This bird could imi
tate his masters voice and whistle TO per
lection, and was evidently proud of his
power, which was curious, rs he was 80
afraid of his master, or was, at any rate,
SO shy in his presence that he would never
speak If the gentleman could be seen. Did
the latter, however, but step behind a cur
tain or door Charley, as the bird always
calls himself, would rattle away merrily,
but stopped at once If his master showed
himself
Carlo, the dog, may be basking in the
sun or snoozing harmlessly in corner Of
the room, when suddenly and quite Of his
own accord the parrot will shout so exact
ly in his masters voice as sometimes to de
ceive the family, "Hi, Carlol CatsP The
dog leaps up, rushes furiously into the
garden, looking fercely round for the in.
truders Then, encouraged by fresh cries
Of "Catsl Catsl Seize them, Carlop bounds
over the wall into the next garden The
moment he has done this the parrot, with
a wonderful change to his masters sternest
tones, calls out: "Come back, Carroll Come
back, you naughty dogP Carlo sinks
back, ashamed and frightened, evidently
expecting to find his owner awaiting him
with a cane. Now this looks like some
thing more than "a parrotlike repetition

ed. stationed at points varying from SO to
100 miles of jackson, left him unmolested
more than three weeks. Gen. Hurlburt
knew the moment Forrest crossed his line
what force the daring Confederate had
with him and his route northward, and he
Immediately wired to the Union command
er at Columbus, KY, Gen. A. j. Smith, TO
clean out the whole country from Colum-
bus to Jackson with strong flying column.
A day later he wired him information, de-
rived from scout, partly true, and to the
effect that the Confederates had large
force In West Tennessee, and were trying to
arm them and attack the railroads. On
the 7th he notified Smith that Forrest had
but three cannon, and was concentrating
troops at Jackson and at Trenton.
BY Dec. IA, $500 re-enforcements had
been sent to Gen. Hurlburt's department
to help take care of Forrest, and Gen.
Grant ordered raid into Mississippi in
order to draw off supports from the much
dreaded leader, whose almost helpless situa-
ton wasexactly known at the headquarters
In Memphis. On the i4th Hurlburt mott
fed Gen. Stevenson, commanding the
Union post at Corinth, that Forrest had
about LOO armed men and $500 un
armed.n In point of fact Forrest took DC
pains to conceal his presence in West Ten
pessee from his antagonists. On Dec. 1;
he sent communication under flag Of
truce to Gen. Hurlburt, assuming to be In
control Of Confederate military district
which he termed the Department Of West

to abate the evil of the persecution OF non

platped. Gen. Hurlburt responded In full

spirit, addressing TorresE- as a. general-ef
the Confederate army. There was a state
of things to make military men gnash
their teeth with chagrin. An enemy, with
barely personal escort, had forced his
way into strong Union department, oc-
cupied narrow, circumscribed territory,
launched out in recruiting and gathering
forage, and gained official recognition
from the opposing commanding general
whose department he had invaded, In the
first two weeks of his occupancy.
Forests scouts kept him well informed
of the movements of the Union forces in all
quarters menacing his peace. BY the 18th
of December he knew that Gen. Smith was
expected TO move down from the north,
that Gen. Hurlburt's calvary leader, Grier-
son, was being strongly REINFORCED to hold
the southern line between Corinth and
Memphis, and that Union columns were
under orders to move upon jackson from
Corinth, Memphis, Nashville, east of the
Tennessee river, and Fort Pillow, on the
Mississippi, west, in conjunction with Gen.
Smiths proposed swoop from the north.
The arms that he was expecting would ar
rive from the south for his recruits did
not come, and having about !, 200 OF these
men well mounted, he sent them under a
small escort to northern Mississippi to
procure equipments and return to him at
jackson. This whole cavalcade actually
slipped through the Union cavalry patrol
on the southern Tennessee line and passed
near the Union post at Corinth on to Iuka,
Miss.
On the 22d Forrest learned from scouts
that Union troops were in position to move
on him within very few days. Smith was
to start from Union City with 1900 men
and Grierson's cavalry, supported by in
fantry, moving on the cars, was to be ready
to act at any point between Memphis and
| Corinth. Forrest decided to start south
ward at once, hoping to meet Gen. S. ID
| Lee moving northward with arms for his
recruits, or, failing in that, to cut his way
through Grierson's line Detachments Of
armed partisans, furloughed men anc
others had joined him, swelling his fight
ing force to about 5000 men. There wer,
still over 5000 unarmed men in the depart
ment All of the troops were very much
