Our Great Review.


Vice President Morton, although called upon
rather unexpectedly to take the place of Pres
ident Harrison on the day of the dedication
of Grand Army Place, showed himself equal
to the occasion. His address had the ring of
true eoquence and patriotism, and was worthy
of great event. 1t is the best sign of the
Nations strength. when tEere is always man
suitable for tho hour. Effete nations decay
through want of competent leaders, there is
no vitality to produce them, an unexpected
strain comes and breaks them down never to
rise again. Our country is strong liz brain and
muscle, and when the need comes we have the
men, they start up and show themselves men
of strength and power. and the Nation is not
dishonored nor its confidence shaken. The
Vice President occupied grand position.
There passed before him an army of soldier
citizens, who years ago passed through the
scorching fires of battles dread array in defense
of human freedom. He was reviewing grand
army of grand men, and the scene and the
occasion must have stirred up within him the
most sublime impulse of patriotism. His
words seemed to como hot from burning
soul filled with pride and gratitude truly
American. The scene the men and the speech
are historical, and will mark through years to
come an epoch in the progress OF Americas

Mysteries of Electricity Made Littie Ciear
Pierce City (Ho) Enrpire.l
The question is often asked since the electric
light plant has started what the word volt y
means. Wishing to please the people the Wig
liant representative of the Empire consulted
the latest Webster's Dictionary and found that
the word volt was unit of electrical motor
power 1t is the electric motive force which
produces current of one ampers i'll current
having a resistance of one ohm and IS about
one tenth less than the electro motive force oil
Daniell's sulphate OF copper cells.
The above is so plain that one must naturally
like to know what an ampere is, 80 he con-
suited the latest edition of Webster aud found
the following:
An ampere is the standard unit of current
electrical measurement. 1t is the current pro-
duced by an electro motor force of one volt
acting in a current having resistance OF one
ohm, formerly called current of "one weber
per second"
Thus our people will easily understand what
"volt, ampere and ohm F." and other learned
terms mean. They can say to the agent,
please give me six volts, 500 ohms, and
throw in about 1000 or so amperes." The
dictionary is SO plain that if few volts. am
peres, and ohms extra were put in, person
would not know the difference.

Special Orders, No 205, dated Richmond, Va,

have been from 800 to 2 600 men, including
Morgan's old brigade" Duke says: about
The National tribune., 1892-10-20

that there was woman in the affair; or that
the killing of Gen. Morgan was murder out of
private revenge; or that his body was tied to
ahorse's tail and dragged through the streets
of Greeneville; or that he was shot down
after he had surrendered. All these are un-
truths that came over grapevine tele-
graphs and were published in partisan
newspapers. They are to be dismissed as
floating sensationaiism. The statements of
Gen. BAIL w. Duke, in his History OF
Morgan's Cavalry have no other validity,
are simply these old injurious reports fast
ened together in book form. Because they
are in this shape it is proper to notice them.
He says:
Gen. Morgan was killed in the garden-shot
through the heart. 1T is not known whether lie
surrendered or WAS offering resistance. His friends
have always believed lac murdered after he
surrendered. Certain representations by the par

while Gillem was in command, it was simply
by favor; both were Colonels of regiments !;
that lie had been detailed on Gov Johnson 3

Big Potatoes.
lChambers's s Journal.I

Some wonderful results with regard to potato
culture have been obtained by a gentleman
farmer in France. The farmer, who is also a
distinguished chemist, has been, according to
Il recent Consular report from Nantes, for some
time past conducting experiments with
potatoes, with the remarkable result that he
has succeeded in securing the enormous return
of ~ tons per acre. The plan he adopts is to
carefully select the seed and use only the best
and soundest tubers The ground is dug OF
plowed to great depth and is we'll manured
Before planting the seed potatoes they are
soaked for about "a hours in mixture COM
posed of saltpeter and sulphate of ammonia, six
pounds of each salt to 90 gallons of water.
After this soaking the tubers are allowed to
drain, and they then stand for "a hours longer,
in order that the germs may have time to
swell.
