BETTER Highways.

One OF the things that should be dis
cussed by farmers clubs during tho
winter is the topic of better highways
A lively public interest In good high
ways must preccde any elective nc
ton. We can not hope for better
highways until VIC and our ncighbors
are thoroughly aroused and cnthusod.
The man that would better the high
ways of his neighborbood must begin
by presenting tho advantage OF better
highways to his neighbors in con-
vinc.ng way. Hence, ho must study
up the gains OF good highways. rs
we'll rs how TO make them, and pre-
sent the facts TO his neighbors; and II
there is good farmers club in tho

opportunities for bringing these facts

Tho Armie. OF Europe.

According to the Neue Militarische
Batter OF Berli in, the Russian Army
on war footing numbers 1873, 900
men. That is the force that she could
mobilize on the commencement OF
bostilities. Germany can put into the
field about $500. 1000, including the
All, 900 men of the Ersdtz reserue; and
this total puts her army numerically
behind that of France by about 800, 0O0
men. The forces of the triple alliance
are as follows: Austria Hungary,
1,115, 600; Italy. 1,090.0 900; Germany,
1900. 900. Grand total. 3, 140, 900.
Russia's 1879, 600 men and Frances
1926, 600 form total of 5,805, 900, or,
in round numbers, 600, 900 more than
the triple alliance. These figures diff
fer very slightly from those recently
published from French sources; and
when it is remembered that these
enormous armies are armed with the
most destructive weapons yet invented
for human slaughter, some little idea
may be formed OF the wholesome hor-
rors OF the next war in Europe. Mill
tary.rrophets are somewhat divided
in their predictions. Some say that
the war must necessarily be
short, and that the fate OF the cam
paign must be practically decided on
the Mouse before the Italians cah pos
sibly cross the Alps. II this view be
correct, the triple alliance must de-
pend more upon the ability OF its gen.
erals than upon the weight of its
forces. Others insist that the great
size OF the armies must prolong the
war. Count Moltke expressed that
opinion recently. But q brand-new
military genius on either side, II such
a man should turn up, might upset a
great many calculations and predic-
tions. Nobody can decide the ques-
tod in advance. We must wait for
results. and everybody hopes that the
delay may be very long. Y. Sun.

The farmer who makes It rule to

for planting. Because In burning of

lieve that burning in this way is bene-

is for the effect upon the soil rather
than the amount OF plant food that

plowed under rather than be burned.
One Of the advantages OF fall blowing

A Romanes OF sedan.

The once famous Countess de Mercy

announced. was born at Caraman-
Chimay, and Belgium has rarely pro-
duced either 30 beautiful or so talent
ed woman as Elizabeth. Countess OF
Caraman-Chimay. The imperial fam
lily OF France in prosperity or advers-

full friend, and up to the last she was
wont to wear necklace of three rows
OF the purest pearls given her by the
Emperor.
When Napoleon surrendered at Sc
dan he requested Count de Mercy Ar
genteau to burn the whole of his car
riages. The only relic of this melan-
choly commission preserved at the
Chateau of Argenteau on the Mense is
panel bearing the imperial mono
gram. While detained at Wilhelms-
hohe the captive monarch begged the
cleverest woman OF his court to come
to him and it was to her sympathetic
ear that he poured out scheme for
signing an advantageous peace with
Prussia after his army had been re-
stored to him.
Napoleon concluded by earnestly
begging the Countess to convey let
ter from him to the Prussian Crown
Prince.
Protected by a safe-conduct from
Bismark, and leaving her lady's maid
behind her at Strasburg, she set out
without a moments delay on her soli-
tary and perilous journey northward.
She was compelled to pass one night
in an ambulance wagon. where she
was carefully looked after by a German
nurse. who ultimately proved to be
like Princess in diguise. Having
reached Versailles she introduced her.
self to the Crown Prince by reminding
him OF the very different circum-
stances under which they had once
opened a ball at Wiesbaden.
The future Emperor listened cour-
teously to her impassioned pleading,
but replied that the best interests of
Germany forbade the granting of the
request and compliance with Napo-
Icons proposal, even II he had been
able to oblige her personally. She left
his quarters almost brokenhearted.-

hoping That out OF the 5000 men
that participated In the raid around
Atlanta, with Fitzpatrick, there are
some yet alive, l submit this brief ac-
count of the affair, trusting that 1t
will be the means OF bringing out
other accounts. We left Cross KEYS
Aug. II. at IL o'clock p. m, and
marched around to the right OF Atlanta
about three miles, when we came to
halt. We went into camp and re-
manned all the next day (18th) until
nearly. shutdown, when we were or
dered to mount and form in line.
When informed by the COM
handing officers of the object OF
the raid, they stated that IL
there were any that were not
willing to give their lives in the at
tempt. they would have the privilege
to rein back out OF line. three PAGES.
There were few that refined back,
but they claimed their horses were not
capable of the undertaking. When
everything was ready we again started
out. Soon after dark we were fired on
by the rebel pickets. We returned
the fire and dismounted one Of them.
On coming up to him we found him
badly wounded. saw, by the moon
light, in the road, a revolver that the
Southern soldier had dropped. / dis
mounted and picked 1t up. brought
it home, where it is preserved
as a war relic. We went on
and tore up about twenty miles
of the Montgomery & Great
Western railroad; thence on to
Jonesboro. After demoralizing more
railroad and burning the enemy's
commissaries, we proceeded toward
Lovejoy Station, which place we did
not quite reach. the rebs having trap
set for us. They let the advance
guard pass, then, as the advance col
umn came up, poured in volley OF
musketry from the dense woods; but
did not do much harm, only stamped
ing the horses and riders for little
while. We soon became organized,
only to find out that we were COM
pletely surrounded by Hoods forces.
Hood sent a delegation to Fitzpatrick,
asking for an unconditional surrender.
Kilpatrick's answer was: 'pll give
you ten minutes time to get outside OF
our lines"'
With salute the delegation of Con-
federates started back as fast as their
horses could run. In the meantime
Fitzpatrick gave the order:
Draw sabre! Forward, trot! Gal
lop! charged
We charged through their artillery,
captured all their guns, and spiked
such as we did not take along. We
lost about three hundred men in the
charge. 1t soon began to rain so hard
that everything was filling with water.
We had a narrow river to cross, it
being so deep our horses had to swim,
and the water running so swiftly that
it swept horse and rider down the
stream. Some men and horses were
drowned In the attempt to cross. We
got back inside our lines on the 21st

and dry clothes. X. Egolph, 1st 0.

In Early Kansas Days.

All along the outer margin OF the
reservation were grouped the camps
Of emigrants; not many OF them, but
enough to present curious and pic
turesque sight. There were a few
tents, but most of the emigrants slept
in or under their wagons. There were
no women or children in these camps,
and the hardy men had been SO we'll
seasoned by their past experiences,
journeying to this far western part Of
the territory, that they did not mind
the exposureof sleeping on the ground
and under the open skies. Soldiers
from the fort, of duty and>curious to
hear the news from the outer world,
came lounging around the camps, and
chatted with the emigrants in that
cool, superior manner that marks the
private soldier when he meets a civ
ilian on an equal footing, away from
the haunts Of men.
The boys regarded these uniformed
military servants Of the Government
OF the United States with great re-
spect, and even with some awe. These,
they thought to themselves. were the
men who were to fight Indians, to pro-
tect the border. and to keep back the
rising tide OF hostilities that might, II
it were not for them, sweep down upon
the feeble Territory and even inundate
the whole western country.-Noah
