Few men have ever combined
yternness and infexibility of purpose
with tenderness of heart to such an
extraordinary degree as Stonewall
jackson. OF his kindness his widow
relates this pleasing example in her
biography of her husband:
Near the close of one of his most
arduous campaigns an old woman
called at his headquarters, and to the
amusement of the young staff Off
GERS said that she had come to see
her son John, who was with Jack.
sons company" She was much sur
prised that they could not tell her
where John was, for he had been
with "Jackson's company" in all the
battles.
Her persistency finally changed
the young mems amusement to an.
noyance; but when General Jackson
came in and heard her simple story
he listened with as much politeness
as if she had been some grand lady,
and after gently reproving the young
officers for laughing at her, he or
dered that every company of his
corps should be searched for John,
who was at last found, to the mex
pressible delight of his loving old
mother.

Two WAYS of Working.

A gentleman was overlooking a
man at work in his grounds, who
was emptying tank by means of a
bucket into the drain.
''What a lazy fellowl" he thought
II could fill that bucket twice to his
once" The more he looked the more
his indignation increased, until at
last he determined to show the man
how to do his work. care you not
ashamed" he asked, Ito pour out no
more than two or three pals a min

could not well do more. well, III

So he went to work with great ZEAL
and poured out six or eight pals a
minute.
"Now," he said triumphantly,
handing back the pail, I've taught
you lesson. | hope you will profit
by it." please your honor" said
the man, would you be kind enough
to go on that way another five min

Edam Oh eeses in History.

1.-THE famous Edam cheeses which
grace the table of every well kept
hotel and restaurant in the country, Vi
said prominent groceryman of this
city, "are often a subject of inquiry
as to what they are and whence they
come. Their round shape, with that
peculiar reddish purple tinge is a
marked contrast with all other cheese

nothing new fashioned about them,
for if Colonial tradition is true Myn-
heer Peter Heyis, of Edam, Holland,
who brought lot in the hold of his
Dutch ship in 1851 to the Delaware
river, so tickled the fancy of the In
dams with these odd looking articles
that he bought large tract of land,
afterward named the Valley of the
Swans, from the redskins with a
barrel of his Edam cheeses. After the
cheese had been devoured the gentle

later massacred the entire Dutch col

SWEET POTATOES.

The weather has been so dry
that the first planting of potatoe
slips has failed up to the last few
days to make any runners, aud
consequently there seems to be a
short crop planted. But this will
no doubt be overcome now that
showers have set 10, making ii
very favorable weather for this
kind of work. The potatOe crop
is very profitable one, constituting
the meat and bread land Coffee OF
very many families. Col. Claiborne
said once that he stopped with a
family IN the pine woods over night,
that gave him potatoes for
bread potatoes for meat and pota.
for coffee, and that night they put
him on a bed stuffed with sweet
potatoe vines.

A NEW ENGINE OF WAR.
Cruiser No. 6 to be Launched on
Nov. at San Francisco.

Nov. S at San Francisco.
Cruiser No. 6, which is being
constructed by the Union Iron
Works at San Francisco, CAL, has
reached so forward a state of pro-
gress that the date of her launch
ing has been fixed for November 5.
She has not yet been named by the
government, but instructions are
daily expected from Washington
which will settle that question.
The cruiser will be the largest
war vessel yet launched by the
Union Iron Works, exceeding the
size of the Charleston or the San
Francisco. Her total length will
be 344 feet. Her total displacement
will be $500 tons, and she will
have double screws and triple ex-
pansion engines. Her speed is es-
timated at 204 knots with forced
draught.
Had there been no delay by the
Carnegie works in the delivery of

let the turrets be completed by the
government at Mare Island. The
dock trials of the engines of the
Monterey were recently held with
very successful results.
