The Stirring Song that Celebrates one OF
sherman's Achievements.
There are few songs more frequently
sung and played than that which cele-
brates Gen. Sherman's great march to
the sea. Its tune is everywhere fami-
liar. These are its words:
Sing It with spirit that will start the world
along
Sing it as we used to sing it. fifty thousand
strong,
While we were marching through Georgia.
Chorus.
Hurrahl hurrshl We bring the jubilee.
Hurrahi nui rsh the nag that makes you free.
So we sang tie ch rus fr IN Atlanta to the sea,
While we were marching through Georgia,
How the dsrkies shouted when they heard the
10y ,ul sound
How the turkeys gobbled which our commits
How the sweet potatoes even started from the
ground
While we were marching through Georgia.
Chorus.

When they saw the honored nag they had not
seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking
forth in cheers,
While We were marching through Georgia.
Chorus.
Shermans dashing Yankee boys will never
reach the coast,
So the saucy rebels said, and twas handsome
boast
Had they not forgot, slssi to reckon with the

While we were marching through Georgia.
Chorus.

So We made thoroughtare for freedom and

Sixty miles in iatitude-three hundred to the

MY QUEEN.

She rules with power, she rules with Ar,
Somewhat tyranical, it's truei
Her throne is built within my heart
Her sceptre sways Ger all do.
lis SAID when woman rules a man
She does 30 in such artful way
That he surmises not her plan,
And thinks to serve her IS but play.
I'm gifted with q keener sight;
/ know her schemes, her smiles are plain:
Yet still / think my burdens light
As murmuring would be all in vain
I run her errands, pay her bills,
And nurse the babies half the time;
These are but sugar-coated ills,
That man gulps down in every cline.
And so she plays her queenly role;
laugh and jest beneath her gives;
Along life's road I pay the toll,
While she but holds the reins and drives
o, yes, she rules. But tell her SOP
! dare not, for my very life.
Call me blind fool? o. well, you know,
dearly love my queen-my wife.

Raising Cameis in the Southwest

In 1852 the United States Government
sent small herd of camels into Texas
with the idea of using them and their get to
cross the so called Great American Desert.
The camels prospered and multiplied, but
when the war came they were scattered
throughout the State and in Arizona and
many of them became wild. Railroads
have solved the Great American Desert
problem, and the camels have fallen into
innocuous deseutude. Some Of them are
TO be exhibited at the coming Texas State
Fair.

Beauty on Wheels.


One hundred women ride tricycles in
Washington. The smoothness Of the
streets makes the work easier than it is
anywhere else, and the encouragement
given by their male relatives in the cycle
clubs strengthens them to face the public.
Most of the women have a special costume
in the nature of riding habit with the
train cut ST. Nevertheless it takes them
good while to get over their nervousness,
and their self consciousness, so as to really
enjoy their ride Very few of them ride
in the daytime. although the most prof.
cient of them all-the Misses Gallaudet,
the daughters of the President of the
Columbia Institution for Deaf Mutes-
never ride at any other time.
These young ladies ride with perfect
ease and grace. They show the possibili-
ties of the tricycles to perfection as they
sweep through the streets on noiseless
wings. | have never seen better or more
beautiful ridi G. They are the envy and
despair of their less successful rivals.
These latter worry along as best they can
through the friendly darkness of the even
ing, happy if they come out of their ad-
ventures with a whole skin. Many of
them own their own machines, but large
number of them patronize "cycleries. I"
OF course, those who travel in the even
ing are always accompanied by gentle
men. But their escorts can not prevent
their taking tumble now and then
sometimes with serious results

WorEtnp at their Trada-

A celebrated performer on the violin was
recently invited to spend an evening, witt

surgeon, who was also one of the guests
said TO him, And now, my dear Mr.. -,

The Honey Harvest In SCOTLAND.

The Scotch honey harvest is the heaviest
Tor many years past, as the blossom of the
heather has been exceptionally rich, and
the honey is of splendid quality. Prices,
however, are so low that although the
harvest is one of the best on record, it il
not likely TO be the most lucrative.

Tecumseh and the Darky.

Gen. William T. Sherman after the
theater one night boarded car with some
ladies all of whom found seats except one
At the upper end of the car was
a little darky with hands in
pockets and great deal of the whites of
his eyes showing. The general caught
sight of him, and taking him by the collar
stood him up against the door, half
frightened and certainly ignorant of the
offense which he had given the tall gray
bearded hero of the march TO the sea.
Then the lady sat down. After the car
had proceeded few blocks a gentle
man vacated seat and got out. Some
body called the generals attention to the
fact, and he, in the presence of the whole
carful of passengers, took the young darby
in his arms, carried him to the seat, and
carefully dumped him into it. Having
given up his seat to lady, the darby was
entitled to the first vacancy, and old
Tecumseh saw that he got it.

When to TRANSPLANT Treas.

The question, when to plant. is an i'm.
portant one. Some will not plant any,
thing in the fall; others prefer the fall to
other seasons. The majority of planters
will. perhaps, claim that spring is the best
season, for the largest amount of planting
is done at that time, and failure is not at
tributed to the season. Fall planting,
however, has strong advocates among ex-
perienced tree planters, and where planter
has given that season fair trial, his favor
able testimony is, as rule, secured How
ever, there is prejudice against fall planting,
and single failure at that season counts
more against it than dozen in the spring.
Trees and shrubs planted early in the au-
tumn will push roots before winter, for it
is not necessary that the top grow to force
root growth; all can prove this by observa-
ton. Take up tree or shrub in Novem.
Der that was planted in August or Septem-
Der, and you will be surprised to see the
amount of new and growing roots. A
fall planted tree becomes established by
this means. and naturally is in a better
condition to grow in the coming spring.
/ believe If careful and systematic ex-
periments were carried on in tree planting,
the fall would be found better season to
plant than in spring, the ground is warm
and moist, in the best condition for the
formation of roots, the air is moist, and
there are not the fierce, drying winds of
early spring, or the liability of a June or
July drought soon after the tree is planted

A Famous Colony.

The famous Pitcairn Colony now num-
bers 107 people, of whom fifty-seven are
women. They are happy, contented and
religious, using neither tobacco nor liquor.
There is no sickness among them, and no
death has occurred in two years. Mccoy
and Young. the leaders of the colony, are
now very old, but can still sing Moody and
Sankey hymns with great vigor. The col.
onists are the descendants of the mutineers
of the British ship Bounty, which in 1888,
was sent to Tahita for bread fruit trees.

OVER in Ohio where there is no disgust
ing local rotteness to mar the campaign
the contest between Mckinley and Camp
bell has become Of National Importance
and interest.
At Ada, last Thursday, the two mer
spoke from the same platform IN joint de-
bate-McKinley for an honest dollar and
protected industries, and Campbell for not
much of anything, though he predicted ter.
rible things.
The Democratic orators are yammering
about the change made by the Mckinley
bill in the duty on tin, but as it has been
proved that the ore is in cur hills, and also
that protection develops and builds up an
industry, II the raw material can be had in
the country, we see no sense in their argu-
ments; and m objection to this trifing
duty, which nobody notices, comes with
poor grace from party that insisted upon
keeping the duty on raw sugar for half a
century-a duty that benefited nobody
but handful Of sugar planters, did NOT
increase the production and could not do
SO from natural causes, and was the most
burdensome duty ever imposed upon the
Nation.

Special Correspondence

6peclai correspondence,
Phils. Oct 13. 1t Is learned from q
reliable source that the the Democratic
State Committee intends to inaugurate a
mud-slinging campaign. Beginning this
week it is proposed to circulate thousands
of copies Of the New York World and the
New York Evening Post which will be
filed with slanderous attacks upon the
Republican candidates. This plan Of cam
paign has just been decided upon at con-
ference in this city, Of Democratic. bosses.
at the inspiration who has already enlisted
the same newspaper influences against that
estimsble gentleman, George d. McCreary,
the Republican candidate for City Tressur-
er. Knowing that not single newspaper
in this city would say. one word against
Mr.. McCresry, who IL well known bust
iness man, and whose reputation as phil
anthropist is known throughout the State,
the Democratic leaders have gone to New
York, from which point they have started
in with their assaults. The same tactics
are to be rcsorted to in this State. The
Democratic papers throughout the Com.
monwealth are expected to reproduce the
ISLANDERS originated by the New York
journals. The campaign of vilifcation Of
of mud-slingers is all ready for launching;
but it is believed that with knowledge O.
the source from which they emanate, the
people will fully know how to estimate theil
value. w.
