MIR, Larsen's AmictiOn,

Supt. L. M. Larsen, of the deaf and
dumb school, who 30 recently lost his
wife, received another crushing blow this
morning, a telegram fran his brother,
Rev. G. M. Larsen, at Red Cloud. Neb.,
announcing the death Of his little daught-
er, Laura, who, in company with her
little brothers, was taken from Santa Fe
last week by Rev. Mr.. Larsen to be cared
for at his home. The dispatch gave no
particulars, simply stating that the child
died at l o'clock this morning. Truly
Mr.. Larsens cup of sorrow is full to over.

THE CAPTAIN OF COMPANY q.
His Men Had Sized Him Up Long Before
He Led Them Toward tho Knoll.

His Men Had Sized Him Up Long before
lie Led Them Toward tho Knoll.
After the first year of the war the
rank and file sized up an officer ON his
merits within ten minutes of the open
ing of n battle. No matter how much
they saw OF him In camp, no verdict
was rendered until he had been tried by
fire. While every man is n part of a
great machine in battle, the rank and
file moves only as directly commanded.
We depend not on each other, but on
the man in command lie must be
brave; he must be cool; he must have
good Judgment. He must know when
he is whipped and how TO retreat to the
best advantage.
Many officers made the mistake OF
trying to pass off bravado for the genu-
inc article. For instance, they talked
in loud tones, not thinking that the
sharp-eared men could detect the
tremor of their voices II bullets and
shells were flying over the line
they would control their nerves and
not duck and dodge. When they look
ed around for admiration they saw
faces wearing signs of doubt
"IIe is holding himself up-he's no
good!" was the criticism against each
officer, and ii always had sure foun-
dalton.
Nobody had any sympathy for pri-
vate who became ratified, although II
was not always a sign Of cowardice, but
there was never "a more pitiful sight
than the spectacle Of a captain break.

have muttered to each other.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
A WAR STORY.

Ex-President Hayes aud an Ex-Coafcderate
swap "reminiscences.
Shortly before President Hayes was
inaugurated II was known that he fav-
bred policy of great lberality toward
the south. II was known that he even
contemplated making Gen Joseph 4.
Johnston secretary of war, or appoint
ing Gen. James Longstreet postmaster
general But Johnston was n demo
crat, uncompromising. Longstreets
declared preference for Blaine in 1876,
and his loyalty TO Blaine afterward,
taken in connection with the probable
ity OF the Maine man being n candidate
for the nomination in 1850, finally de-
cided the appointment against him.
The result was that Col ID. NJ Key,
an ex-confederate from Tennessee, was
made postmaster general; the sending
of Longstreet us minister TO Turkey;
Col. John Mosby. was made consul to
Hong Kong, and appointments of more
or less importance were given TO ex-
confederates. II became, for this rea-
son particularly, no unusual thing to
see prominent southerners at the white
house consulting with President Hayes.
About this time Gen. William Phillips,
of Marietta, Ca, was there 10 urge the
appointment of Gen. Edward Thomas,
an ''old line whig," as United States
marshal of Georgia. Thomas, like all
the old wings who were consistent, was
really republican, and represented an
element that Hayes was endeavoring to
enlist in the republican party.

PEAFowLs.

Peafowl are not only ornamental, but
excellent for the table. A writer in the
Fancier's Monthly says concerning them
They are slow in reaching maturity, aud
the hen seld om lays before she is two
gears old. The chicks, however, grow
very rapidly at first, but as they begin
to feather almost at the start of life they
require frequent feeding or they will
perish. They soon begin to fly, and
Foost on the highest positions they can
fnd. The hens lay from ten to twenty
eggs, according to age and treatment.
The young chicks should be fed the
same as young turkeys, but meat, finely
chopped, should be given three times a
week after the first week. The male is
q quarrelsome bird in the barn yard, and
often makes short work Of young chicks.
They are more ornamental than profit
able, though the tail feathers may be
pulled for sale as soon as the moulting
season begins.

There is a certain remedy for these
pests and a cheap one. This is spraying
the plants and trees with well known
preparations which kill the insects. It
has been proved effective, and the use of
it should be enforced by law. A begin
ming has been made in the State of New
York, where penalties are provided for
neglect to destroy the fungus which pro-
duces the black knot in cherry and plum
trees, by no means nearly so costly a
pest as many Others that might be men
toned. What is most needed, however,
is the public sentiment which would in
duce all concerned to take the necessary
measures to keep their own premises
free from pests Of all kinds, and when
this is once aroused effectively there will
be an end of the trouble.-New York
