AS THEY DO 1T NOW.

For all the different kinds, styles and
| designs of idocy-a presidential cam
paign is the place to see the most.
Just now men are shouting about
HARRISON having been a good soldier.
| Well suppose he was: He has also been
a good president, but it does not follow
that he should be kept in office-the
highest in the land for eight years, when
other people perhaps would like to &C.
cupy the seat that brings men honor.
Thousands and thousands of other
good soldiers-and just as good and just
as brave and just as great as HARRISON
have never received r~eward-nor have
they any chance to receive it.
The old soldier racket is a chestnut
with the cobwebs of 80 years clustering
around it. The man who went to war
did it to save his country-a country
which he believed to be in peril, and his
reward was his success. If a %neighbor
sees a house on fire, and he goes to save
it, and succeeds, all he expects for his
ScrVICCS Is GuC GuduhS VI GAC
But a crowd Of bottle SCARED buns
who went to the army for Is dollars a
month still live on the record they made,
and the old soldier racket is always
sprung.
HARRISON only did his duty when he
went to the war, and he has no claims
upon the people or the country on that
score.
CLEVELAND didn't go to the war. He
had something else to attend to, and when
he was drafted he went out and hired a
man to go for him. So they yell that
CLEVELAND is not an old soldier. We
are glad that he is not IAN old soldier"
But more of the idiocy-that degree
which is idiocy in the superlative-is
when they are having Baby Ruth clubs
and "Baby Mckee" clubs, and all such
f~oolishness.
The election of a president should be
considered a business proposition, and
the school-boy rackets should be omitted.
But hen the world is ready for any
sort of a fad, and will see many Of 'em
between now and November A..

HOW NORTH CAROLINA FEELS

To the Editor of the Morning Advertiser
If you have any influence whatever
upon GROVER CLEVELAND induce him,
for sweet heavens sake, to omit the sub
iect of the force bill from his Forthcoming
letter of acceptance. Southern demo
Gratis want none of his inane platitudes
now, acceptable as they might have been
once. We are no longer afraid of the
force bill. Time has taken the scare out
of it, but it hasn't made us forget GRO
vER's cowardly silence when we thought
we needed his help. There are fifty thou
sand democrats in this state who hate him
for the friends he has made, and will take
BROTHER DANA's alternative, preferring
gentleman HARRISON with aforce bill in
his pocket" to the devil.
A NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRAT.
CONCORD, N. c., June 20.
1t may be true that there is a dis
gruntled democrat at Concord who would
say, in ambush, that the South wants a
force bill, but we dare say that the So
called "North Carolina Democrat" will
not sign his name to the above.
The head GLOW North Carolina Feels"
is doubtless a thought of the New York
Advertiser, and it might be well to sug-
gest just here that one Concord mug
wump is not North Carolina by a Jug full.

THE FEDS ARE IN 1T.

They call republicans feds down in
these pine woods, but that makes no
difference. The feds this year propose
to have some fun, we are told, and the
programme is such that fun seems to be
in sight.
In all the years since the "wah" the
democrats have always crippled the feds
by yelling niger domination, and the
question of negro rule has kept the Solid
South reasonably solid and given the feds
but little show in state politics.
This year there will be no republican
state ticket in the field, and the feds will
doubtless vote with the alliance or third
party howlers. Then it will be go it wo-
man, go it bear, and the negro yell will
ndt come in. The third party is, of
course, largely composed of erstwhile
democrats in this state-and it will be a
battle Of ballots-with brother against
brother. The outcome will be looked for
ward to with great interest, and the feds
say that they expect to win.

THIRTY YEARS LOST.
A Mothers Long Search Sadly Ended by
Finding Her Boy in Mad House.

- S"S ~
Finding Her Boy in Mad House.
The New York Advertiser says: A
woman who gave her name as Mrs.
Elizabeth Blackwell and her address as
No, 2O6 Mulberry street yesterday Wis
tied the health department and told a
most peculiar story involving al elope-
ment, abduction and subsequent search
for thirty years for the son whom an I'M
faithful husband had taken away with
him. 1t eliminated in her finding her
son in the insane asylum on Wards Is
land last week, and her visit to the
health authorities was for the purpose of
making some arrangements to get him
out of this institution.
The story she told reads more like a
omance than an occurrence in real life.
In 1852 she was married to Edward Black
we'll, a well-to-do truckman, and went to
live in a little cottoge in Elm street, near
Center. In 1860 a son, who was christ
ened Edward, was born to the couple. At
that time a woman named Elizabeth
White was engaged as a servant and
nurse. Two years later Mrs. Blackwell
was taken i'll, and thinking a visit 10 her
relatives in Pennsylvania would benefit
her, left the city. Her infant son she
left in charge Of Nurse White.
She was away two months. She wrote
several times, but received no answer
from her husband. On returning she
found the cottage locked up and the furni-
ture moved out. Her neighbors said that
her husband had eloped with the White
woman about six weeks before.
She went back to her relatives in
Pennsylvania, and soon afterward COM
menced the search for her son that has
just ended. For many years she got no
clcw. In 1870 she read in a New York
newspaper Of the death of Edward
Blackwell, a truckman, but no address
was given.
From that time until last Thursday,
she waited anxiously for some trace of
her boys whereabouts. Then she saw
a paragraph in a newspaper about the
sudden death of a Mrs. Elizabeth Black
well, at No. 434 East Sixteenth street.
She Immediately came to this city, and,
after establishing beyond doubt that the
dead Oma was her former servant,
Elizabeth White, began inquiries about
her son. She found that he became in
sane eight years ago and had since been
in the Wards Island asylum. She went
to that institution on Friday and saw
him, She asked to be permitted to take
him away, but by Drs. A. E. Mcdonald
and VIM. A. Mason, in charge of the asy.
lum, was referred to the health authori-
ties.
Mrs. Blackwell could not be found last
evening at No. 20G Mulberry street, but
her story is borne out in every particular
from investigation. A woman calling
herself Mrs. Elizabeth Blackwell died at
434 East Sixteenth street last We'd
nesday. She claimed to be simply the
stepmother of the Edward Blackwell
who is confined in the Wards Island In
sane Asylum.
AS Truckman Blackwell, when he
died, left several thousands of dollars IN
trust for his imbecile son, the health au-
thorities will make a thorough investiga-
ton before turning Edward over to the
care of the woman who claims him as her
offspring.

MUSICAL RATTLERS.

Reptiles Whose Sympathies Were With
the Southern Cause.
81 once knew an old soutberner in
Arkansas who had colony of rattle
snakes that were trained to play Dixie
with their rattles to his intense edifica-
tion," said Col. j. S. Evans, of Meridian,
Miss. "The man belonged to my regi-
ment during the war, and he had a rat
tlesnake that followed him all through
the Louisiana campaign like faithful
dog. He didn't join the army until
near the close of the trouble, and he
brought his snake with him. When the
reptile got tired on the march her mas
ter would coil her around his neck and
trudged along with his pet until camp
was struck. At night he put the snake
in circle formed with a hair rope so
as to keep her from crawling around to
the dread of other soldiers. During
battle that snake would dart in and ont
between the ranks of the fighting men
until she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the
air and rattle off the first few bars OF
Dixie with pronounced distinctness
and the most ecstatic delight. Her
master mad. OF course, taught her TO &c
it. After the war he took his snake
back to the Arkansas farm, and in a
little while her progeny was wonder
full. When / went to see him fifteen
years ago his barnyard was given over
to rattlesnalles, and on n signal from
him, by ringing a bell, the reptiles
would dash to the center of the yard
and the clanp of Dixie that the swift
movements of their tails produced was
as deafening as it was inspiring.

THE BATTLE FIELD.
MUSIC IN CAMP.

The shades Of night have wrapped the earth
Within their ample fold
When round the campfire gathered close
The blue-clad soldiers bold.
Twas after mess, and until "taps,"
Around the fire bright,
The time was theirs TO spend In talk,
Or any pleasures light.
They Allied their pipes, and as they smoked
They talked of the attack
The enemy had made that day,
And how they drove them back.
And each one told how oft he heard
The sing Of leaden ball,
And how comrade Mt the side
Was seen just then to fall.
And so the time went quickly past
AS each his tale did bring,
Till one among The crowd spoke out
"Sny, boys, why don'twe singf"
Then silence fell--to every one,
Loved scenes in thoughts had come,
And then with overfiowing hearts
They sang the song of Home.
And though they sat by waters clear,
O'ershadowed by the palm,
The fairest spot on earth then seemed
The old New England farm.
Then followed "Rally Round the Flag"
And every bosom burned
To keep that banner ever whole
Which hostile hands had spurned.
And then the song of deathless Brown,
Whose onward marching soul
Was leading union armies on
To victory's bright goal.
The song that followed swept the camp
Like resistless sea-
Tho song that every patriot loves
MY country, it's of Thee"
And so then heroes round the fire
With song made glad the night,
And each gained courage from the words
To help him in the fight

Rid the Lambs of Ticks.

Ticks cause many lambs to dwindle
and die. They should be dipped occa-
Bionally. The ticks leave the sheep for
the lambs, so that ut this time it is
comparatively easy to rid the flock of
these pests There are several com
mercial dips that are very effective.
Emulsions made of tobacco, buhach.
Persian insect powder, ETC., are recon.
mended, but have never known any
satisfaction to result from such dips
More than one dipping is needful be-
cause few ticks will hatch from rrits
on the lambs at the time of the fist
dipping, and an occasional tick will be
left ON the ewes, which will find it's
way to the lambs. A warm day and
southern exposure should be chosen, as
otherwise the lambs are liable to be
chilled. After the immersion, each
subject should have its fleece squeezed
as dry as possible and be stood for q
few minutes in small pen with q
board floor draining into the dip.-Hol-

ABOUT MILK FEVER.
As Many Cows Die from Strong Medicine
as from the Disease.

As Many Cows Die from Strong Medicine
as from the Disease.
The deaths of fine COWS in the last
year seem to have been unusually
large, and while all sorts of remedies
are given, the cows go right on dying,
and the best ones at that. At best, the
disease does not seem to be understood,
and it is safe to say that as many cows
die from the dose given to 'brcak up
the fever" as die from the disease it
self. One says starve, another says
feed high, and on through the list to
the last one, gill of coal oil, mixed in
lard, given to the cow each hour for
three times. In the last American we
find the following that may be as near
the truth as much of the sound" ad-
vice made public.
To prevent milk fever, should a COW
| be dried off when she persists in milk
ing all the way through? This is a
| very hard question to answer. There
has arisen of late years new school OF
medicine or new practice in the old
one that says when COW is taken
down with milk fever after caiving, the
udder should not be entirely milked
out but only the excess of pressure
taken off by slight milking. The
| philosophy of this, as we have seen il
advocated, is that the glands ut that
time are active and ready to go tt
work as soon as the udder is empty
and to keep them quiet the uddei
should be left fairly filed. A full uddel
makes no demand upon the system O.
the COW unless it is overcrowded while
an empty udder calls for work on the
part of the milll-secreting glands. Thi.
looks like good logic whether it is goot
medicine sense or not.

ate battle of Gettysburg. II shows q
dead confederate sharpshooter away up
in the rocks at DEVILS den, where he
had constructed secluded little fort
ress by building up powders between
a niche in the rocky face of the den.
From this well protected spot he had in
perfect safety been picking off union
officers and men during the entire day,
until his fire becoming SO destructive a
battery was ordered to direct several
solid shot ut his temporary abode. One
of these caused splinter of stone to
strike the rifeman on the head with
fatal results. The photograph was taken
by Gardner after the battle, and the
sharpshooter was found in his last sleep
with peaceful smile on his face, while
the rifle with which he had done the
damage was leaning up against the
rocks. Three years afterward the pho
tographer again visited the rifieman's
last home. His skeleton was still there,
and the rifle, almost eaten away by
rust, leaned against the rocks, while on
his company roll and at home he was
marked no doubt, as missing. Wash
