said Gregg to the Count of Paris AS the
 battlefield tourists stood in the center of the open ground where Custer met the
 Virginians. with his main column he
 hoped to slip unobservcd between me and our army at Gettysburg and get into our rear" .a
 But Gregg's men fought too hard to be trified with, and regiment after regiment of s,tuart's was drawn to the scene. By the time the First Virginia retired before the scorching fire that received it, far down the deld, the three brigades of Wade Hamp- ton and the two Lees were in the vicinity. A curtain of woods skirted the Confeder- ate end of the long, narrow field. The Union end was an open farm region, and on one side there was wood the whole distance of the Union position, and on ths othlr sheltering crest along a stream. To dislodge Gregg from the wood on one side and the ridge on the other, while his bat teriss stood at the end of the space raking the ground between, was too hard task for Stuart to think of. Yet quick ride down that open ground into the batteries might carry Gregg's key position and ruin his line
 Scarcely had the Virginia regiment quit the field when mass of their fellows, sev- eraN regiments in all, moved out In splen- did order from the woods, and started to repeat the march of the vanguard just de- feaied. They moved in close column in full view of their opponents, and marched as t,alsnly and as proudly'as on parade Th,ir sword blades shoue in the high sum mer sun, their horses moved neck and neck, and like a small avalanche of warrors the body rolled resistlessly on across the open space between the thin Union lines that still clung to the ridge and to the wood on either side. Gregg saw what was upon hirl; Custer saw it; every man on the field saw 1t, A thunderbolt of war was coming and must be met. Here and there picket or "A dSsmounted man cut of from his com pany rushed to the nearest body of his friends, gripped his weapon tighter and prepared to be one of host ta meet the onslaught. Aids dashed to and fro, pick ing up squads and detachments and form ing irregular bands. McIntosh's brigade was divided, part on one side of the lane like space, part upon the other. The Third Pennsylvania regiment had two squadrons on the ridge on the left and two in the wood nearly opposite, the enemy marching between. Custer's men were along the ridge by the stream and at the end of the field, facing the advancing enemy. The First Michigan stood in close column behind the batteries, and Gregg at once ordered it to charge Custer dashed up at the moment, fresh from his late bat tie, at the head of the Seventh and placed himself in front of the First

National council Is the outcome of the International Council of Women held in
 Washington in the spring of 1888, which was composed of delegates from fifty three national societies in seven differ ent countries, and was attended by 2,00O women from all parts of the world. Its officers are Frances E. Willard, of Evanston, Ills, president; Susan B. An thony, of Rochester, N. Y., vice presi- dent; Mrs. May Wright Sewall, of In. dianapolis, Ind, corresponding secre- tary; Miss Mary F. Eastman, of Tewks- bury, Mass, recording secretary, and Mrs NJ. Louise Thomas, of New York, treasurer. The object of this meeting is to complete the work of federation.
 A great deal of the immediate interest of the assemblage will be the personality of many of the participants Among those who signed the call are Harriet G. Hosmer, Clara Barton, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Kate Tannatt Woods, Mary H. Krout, Kate Field, Elizabeth Boynton Hsrbert, Jennie c. C,roly (Jen- nie June) and Julia Holmes Smith, who are all well known in woman's work.
 Mrs. Mary T. Lathrop, who will rep resent the Woman's Christian Temper ance union, hes devoted her life to tenn perance and evangelical work. She lives in Detroit, and for years has held a local preachers license from the Method ist conference. Her sermons are noted for their persuasiveness and eloquence.
 The National American Woman Suf- frage association will be represented by Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell, whose work before the New York state legislature has given her a national reputation. She Is an effective and entertaining speaker.
 Another influential delegate is Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer, president Of Sorosis, a woman of singular attractiveness and marked poetic abilities, who has won an enr:able reputation in tho do- main of literature and education. Miss Anthony and Miss Willard are every where known as earnest and persistent workers in the cause of women, and will be among the most conspicuous figures in this remarkable gathering.

Old Men and the Senate.

The senate has a way of keeping the old men and clinging to the old customs that makes it in many ways link be- tween the present and the past. In addition to Capt. Bassett, who com. manda the pages, there are about the senate, in ore capacity or another, a score, of very old men, some of whom must have been here forty or more years. Now and then one will come upon sen. ate ernploye who has been here since ha was big enough to work, and whose ia. ther, and possibly his grandfather, vera here before him. Such case is that of Charles Mcdonald, one of the assistant sergeants-a+-arms He entered the serv- ice of the senate when he was 0 small boy. His father spent all his life in and about the senate chamber, and his grandfather was senate clerk when congress sat in Philadelphia, and also when the first sessions were held in this city.

COME ON. YOU wot,yERrsRsr"

At the moment Custer was drawing to- ward this very spot with the Seventh Mich- igan, and seeing the emergency he hastily formed the regiment in clcse columns and advanced to meet the Virginians. The latter were already between two fires, the tltth Michigan and First New Jersey hay Ing deployed parallel to the route of march or the enemy and opened upon them. Gus ter swept on with the Seventh until he found his way barred by stone fence. Across this barrier his men opened with carbines, and the Confederates gallantly laced the music. forced their way to the opposite side of the wall, and returned the hre with pistols. The battle waged for some time at arms length, but the Confed- crates were quickly re3snforced, and Gus Ter had to give ground, followed by the 'irginians. The Confesierates were at last over half way across tke open space, but they were drawing nearer to Grcgg's can non at every step, and were made to suffer terribly for their boldness. They were, in Tact, running gantlct of fire on both sides and facing fire on the front, some 'hing human nature cannot endure for eVer' and at last they had to give it up and retire. Thus far the fighting hsd been oniy byplay on the part of the Confeder. stes; Stuart intended to occupy my at

A Peculiar Route to Rnecess.

At least one Nevada Indian has risen to success, and that by most remark able route. In 1881 he was sentenced to the renitentiary for life for killing a Chinsman, and was set to work in the quarries. The other day the governor pardoned him, and now he fills the place of boss blaster at wages of s3.50 and board. There is no moral to the story, for if the man hadn't committed murder he would be today, as he was at the time of the crime, dirty, vicious, aim. less loafer.

TWO Crops in the Orchard.

Many farmers endeavor to secure two
crops from an orchard d-fruit and grass
the result being that the grass robs the
trees, while the trees in turn shade the
grass and draw upon the land for their
share. Some fruit trees, such as the
peach, will perish in a single year if
grass covers the ground of the orchard,
and though such is not the case with
apples and pears, yet the lesson from the
condition of the peach tree under such
conditions teaches that grass is at least
drawback. 1t may not be proper to
force the young trees too rapidly at first,
and it is true that an occasional grass
crop plowed in has given beneficial re-
suits, but to keep an orchard as past
ure is to occupy the ground with un-
profitable fruit trees. An orchard should
be kept neatly trimmed, well fertilized
or manured and cultivated thoroughly
at least once a year, says the Philadel-
phia Record,

tration.
If the cloth is carefully removed from
the frame each fall, and kept well Sc
cured during the summer to prevent the
wind from tearing it, several seasons
wear can be had from it, though it can
be replaced at trifling cost.

PLANTING SPINDLING CABBAGE PLANTS.
when it has been plowed the previous
fall so much the better Well rotted
manure for early cabbage ought to be
sown broadcast.
1t ought to be borne in mind that cab
bage is hardy plant, hence when want
ed for an early crop may be set out in
any section as soon as the soil is dry
enough to work.
In the illustrations here reproduced
from ''How to Make the Garden Pay"
are shown various ways of setting the
plants. Greiner, the author, says on the
subject:
Cabbages may be set either straight
down or slanting, according to depth of
surface soil and length of stalk. In
either case roots will form all along the
stems, and the heads will grow closely
above the ground, instead of being held
high up as if on stilts The contrast be-
tween deep and shallow planting here
illustrated speaks plainly in favor of the
former. The advantage which deep feed

The Asparagus Bed.

A correspondent in The Farm Jour-
nal says: While the cutting and market
ing of asparagus continues every shoot,
no matter how small, should be cut off.
For the good of the succeeding crop, cut
ting should not be continued very late
in the season. Time must be given to
secure vigorous growth of top before
the growing season ceases, for on this
depends largely the earliness and vigor
of the succeeding crop.
The clean cutting destroys millions of
eggs, and lessons the numbers of the Sec
ond and third broods of asparagus beetles
quite materially. If the small shoots be
permitted to grow during this early
season, they afford breeding ground for
the beetles, and when the cutting ceases
they are so numerous as to devour the
crop as it grows up, giving the patch the
appearance of having been burnt over by
fire. In regard to disposing of the old
tops the practices of successful growers
differ Some run the mower along the
row in the fall, gather up and burn;
others do this early in the spring, think
ing that they afford valuable protection
TO the roots during the winter season.

Regrafting Old Apple Trees

So long as a tree has a sound trunk ii
is worth taking the best of care of it,
says American Cultivator, and this in
cludes regrafting if the variety is unpro-
ductive or otherwise undesirable. On
most old trees some free growing variety
succeeds best, as it is less likely to run
to wood than it is on its own stock. The
check caused by failure of the old stock
to supply enough sap for the graft dis.
poses it to fruit bearing. Thus with ap-
pies the Northern Spy graft on any ole
tree will bear in two or three years
while a young tree of this variety takes
a very long time to come into bearing

FARM AND GARDEN.
IN THE INTERESTS OF FARMERS AND
THEIR COUNTRY HOMES.

How Temporary Piazza Can Be Con-
structed at a Small Expenditure of
Labor and Money for Use During the
Long Summer Days.
There are many houses that have not
the advantage of shade trees around
than during the summer, when cool
places are most eagerly welcomed. A
piazza is perhaps next best in its shade
to widespreading oak, ash, maple or
elm. But piazzas are objected to by
some, and with considerable reason, be-
cause they shut out the sunlight in win
ter when it is particularly desirable.
Moreover, the expense of building per-
manent piazza in the ordinary way
makes it an impossibility in many cases.
The illustration here reproduced from

cure the advantages of one without its
disadvantages, and at so trifing an ex-

Country Gentleman says:
This fence is the most durable and per-
feet that have ever seen. Forty rods of
it can be drawn at one load and put up

rights, to which the boards are attached
at the ends, on different sides of the
boards as shown in the cut. The Q by 2
should extend one foot above the top
board, so that in case the fence is used
to inclose cattle or horses wire can be
run on top, and secured by driving an
eightpenny wire nail about half its length
in the top and turning it down over the
wire.
By this arrangement the wire can be
taken off by simply prying up the nails.

Dressing Pastures with Lime.

An English agricultural exchange tells
very truly how there occurs gradual
elimination of lime in pasture lands,
even in limestone districts. Want of
lime is indicated by coarseness of herb
age, sourness and want of clovers. The
grass grows rank, and the finer species
are ousted by inferior descriptions. 1t
is not SO much a deficiency of quantity
as of quality which is discernible. Marl
is suitable dressing for such land, but
in districts where this substance is not
available burnt lime may be used with
equal if not superior results. The effect
of a dressing of $50 to 200 bushels of
quicklime is seen in an increased growth
of white clover and leguminous herbage
and in a general improvement of quality
in the grasses.
The authority quoted inclines to the
system of making one large heap of lime
conveniently near the field and applying
it after slaking. The small heap sys-
tenn, which is admirable in the case of
arabic land, is unsuitable for grass, be-
cause the grass is burnt on the site of
every heap. This we should avoid by
making large heap, as recommended.
The best periods are midsummer, after
the fields have been spring and summer
grazed, and before the period of autumn
growth commences; or the work may be
delayed until late in the autumn. After
spreading the surface should be thor
oughly chain narrowed, so as to brush
in the lime to the roots, and the effec
will show itself in the following summe1
and continue for from seven to twelve
wears

The Feeding Value of Grains.

Japanese buckwheat differs in no way
as regards feeding qualities from our
common buckwheat, and as buckwheat
is an excellent grain for sheep when
mixed with oats or rye, there can be no
harm in using the Japanese variety for
this purpose As compared with corn
and bran, it is of the least value for
feeding, being deficient in fat, which is
the most valuable part of the food. The
feeding value per 100 pounds of buck
wheat has been estimated at seventy
seven cents; wheat bran $1.01, and corn
Sill. Buckwheat, according to this
estimate, is the least valuable of all the
grains for feeding, and a bushel of it is
worth only thirty-fve cents for this pur
pose. 1t is probable that it could be
. sold for more than this, and thus could
be better disposed of in this way.
But, writes Henry Stewart to Rural
New Yorker, it should be said that in
practice these theoretical feeding values
are considerably modified by circum-
stances, especially by the mixture Of
foods, by which they become more di-
gestible In feeding buckwheat and
corn ground together to sows with young
pigs l obtained more growth of the
young pigs than with as much corn meal
alone. And in feeding corn, rye and
buckwheat, whole, mixed in equal parts
to sheep, the ewes have done better and
the lambs have grown better than with
corn only. Thus consider buckwhea1
cheap feed at the comparative valua
ton above given. This is due to its ef
feet in increasing the flow of milk, AZ
well as to the better digestion of the
mixed food. The nutritive ratio of the
mixed grain is to 6.3, which is desir
able one.

To Make Timothy Grass Permanent.

American Cultivator has the following
to say about timothy: Timothy is peren
NAL in habit, and unless attacked by the
white grub there is no reason except lack
of fertility and moisture why it should
not remain in good moving and pastur-
ing condition for years. But as timothy
roots are mostly near the surface they
soon exhaust it and the timothy disap-
pears, to be succeeded by weeds of coarser
grasses. Sowing either red clover or
alsike with timothy is a good way to
make timothy hold in the soil longer.
These die out after the second year, es-
pecially the alsike, and their decaying
roots furnish pabulum for the timothy
for two or three years. If coarse grass
succeeds the timothy the soil probably
needs to be underdrained.

The Critical Season for Bees.

The spring is the most critical season
of the year for bees. More colonies of
bees are lost from the 1st of March to
the 1st of June than during any other
period of the year. Starvation and
dwindling and dysentery, caused from
impure food, slay their thousands. Be
as sure that your bees have sufficiency
of food as you are that your cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs have something to eat,
and you will come out all right. The
old policy of putting bees in a box and
setting it on stand, and virtually say
ing to them, olive if you can, and die if
you must" is no longer practiced by SEN
sible apiarists, says an Ohio apiarian in
The Farm Journal, who claims that the
preservation of the life of a single healthy
bee in March is worth secfeof the same
kind in June.
