Joe LanDon came down with the Sullivan

Launon made q bee line for the St. Charles

A Falling Off of sI4,ooo,ooo In the
City's Business for the Year.
CHARLESTON, =. c.. Sept. 4.-The annual
review of the Nel0s and Courier, which will
be published tomorrow, shows that Charles
tons trade during the fiscal year ended
Aug. 81, amounted to more than SS3, 900, 900. .
This shows a decrease as compared with the
previous year of S14,00O,O OOO but more
than half of the decrease is due to the
falling off in the price OF cotton. The
low price Of this staple has affected trade
in phosphate rock and commercial fertil-
izers to a considerable extent but the credit
of the city is unimpaired and the indications
are that business during the new year will
be larger and better. The government i'm
provements in the harbor assure deep water
on the bar, and the unexcelled terminal
facilities of the port promise steady in
crease in business. On the whole Charleston
has passed through the storm Of financial
depression and political excitement with
less injury than some Of its competing
ports There has not been one failure for
any considerable amount in the city during
the past year and merchants and business
men generally speak with courage aud con-
fidence of the future.

SCATTERING SCRAPS.

AN old soldier at Wichita, Kan, re.
Gently received from the government
cents which had been due him without
his knowledge for more than thirty
years.
The age of the youngest confederate
soldier has now been reduced to eleven
years, as ID. b. Freeman, of Carterville,
Ga, says that he enlisted in the Sixth
Georgia cavalry, when he reached that
age.
Col. THOMAS E. ROSE, of the Seventy
seventh Pennsylvania volunteers, who
is said to have designed the Libby prison
tunnel, by which six hundred and nine
prisoners escaped, is now a captain in
the Sixteenth Regular infantry.
WILLIAM H. LACKEY, who died in
Roanoke, Va, recently bore the colors
of the Fifty-second Virginia infantry in
thirty-six battles and participated in
thirteen other engagements without re-
ceiving Il scratch, though his flag was
shot from his hands several times and
his clothing pierced by bullets.
ORGANIZATIONS of old soldiers differ
from all others in the fact that what
would be an evidence of weakness in
ordinary societies is an element OF
strength with them. Increased member

but every year finds more graves tc
decorate and a necessarily reduced mum,

creased influence and gradually declin

WHILE stationed at Paducah, KY, a
member of an Ohio regiment started
out to get some milk in his cSffee-pot.
On his return an officer suspecteduhim
of having whisky in his coffee-pot, and
ordered him to halt and let him exam
inc the pot. The soldier poured out
some of the milk before the officer and
went to his quarters. That night there
was a general drunk in that soldiers
company, which ended in a fight. 1t
was finally discovered that the Ohio
hummer had put little milk in the
spout of his cotfee-pot, after stopping
the inside with bread, and then had
filed the pot with whisky.

IT is not good plan to pasture the
sheep and calves together; the calves
seem to dislike to eat after the sheep.
WILL it pay the average western
farmer to keep a COW whose calf will
not grow into profitable beef or dairy
animal?
A FEW specialists may breed for but
ter or beef as they see fit, but the ma
jority of farmers must breed and feed
for both.
The farmer that expects to make the
feeding of cattle profitable must select
his animals with referaAce to their ca

AN ESCAPE FROM LIBBY.
A Union Soldiers PeriIous Undertaking to
Gain His Liberty.

Gain His Liberty.
The escape of Marion I. Anderson
from Libby prison was perilous risk
to take for liberty. He told the story
in an address before the Lincoln post
the other evening. He had received
box of provisions from his father in In
diana that had been three months on
the way. When he first entered the
prison he had written his father if he
did send him any clothing to put a roll
of greenback bills in the waistband of
the trousers, and sure enough he had
AS soon as he'got the money he feigned
sickness in order to get into the hos
pital, for he knew that it was from the
basement he must escape, if at all.
In the course of week or two he
"improved sufficiently to walk about,
and in the kitchen found the cook to be
a union soldier, n prisoner, who had
been detailed for that duty. He took
the cook into the details of his plan.
The first and great purpose was to
bribe the guard, who every night from
nine to eleven o'clock stood ut the big
double iron doors, that were barred
and spiked from the inside. The guard
at first refused the bribe of fifty dollars,
but being u northern man by birth,
Capt. Anderson finally worked on his
sympathies until he consented, and in
the course of two weeks the scheme for
escape was completed The long iron
spikes had been drawn one at time
and then loosely dropped back in their
places, as had also the rivets to the
bars, and it took but the work of a few
minutes to remove all of them
Capt. Anderson was the chief engineer
in this daring piece of work, but he
had nervy assistant in Lieut.. Shelton,
another hospital patient, who had re-
solved to escape with him. AT ten
4 o'clock of the night they were to escape
the big heavy doors were stealthily
pulled ajar, and they We're in the act
of bounding out into the street, but the
bribed guard waved them back. The
captain of the guard was approaching.
In breathless silence they stood for a
few minutes, and then the guard gave
them the signal to come on. Out they
walked, while on the opposite corners,
not one hundred yards away, under
brightly burning gaslights, were as
many as eight sentinels.
The escaped prisoners passed down the
center of the street within few yards
of them, but no notice was taken of the
self-libcrated prisoners of war, and on
they trudged through crowded streets
out of the city limits, and by dawn the
next morning had gained the forests

If you're satisfied with words, you

PASTURES FOR SHEEP.
Changes Frequently Made VIII Assure the
Best Results.


Because the sheep will eat weeds,
sprouts and much growth that other
stock will refuse, is hardly a sufficient
reason for compelling them to live on
these alone. One of the advantages in
keeping sheep is that, they are. good
scavengers, and will aid materially in
keeping the pastures and meadows
clear of weeds and sprouts. Sheep do
not thrive well on low or moist lands.
Dry, rolling land, well seeded to va
riety of grasses and provided with a
shed or sufficient trees to furnish
shade, makes the best pasture for
sheep.
The objection to pasturing cattle and
sheep together is that the sheep eat
very close to the ground, and when the
pasturage begins to get short the sheep
will be able to get their share when the
cattle will be on short rations. When
there are weeds and sprouts that it is
desired to have the sheep keep down,
allow sufficient number of stock to
keep the grass a little short, but not
enough to starve them, as it is very i'm
portaut to keep the sheep in good
thrifty condition. AS with all stool,
better results can be secured by divid-
ing the pastures and changing from
one to the other. Not only will the
sheep keep in better condition, bu t
they will keep the weeds and sprouts
down better. Sheep when eating in the
pastures will keep on the move a good
part of the time, and will nibble at
everything that comes in their way,
and in this way they. destroy lots of
weeds and sprouts that other took let
alone. Rural
