a case was on trial in Kentucky court
room. An old man of somewhat disreputable
appearance had just given important testimony,
and the lawyer whose cause suffered by his
statements strove in every way to confuse and
trip him, but in vain.
The witness stuck to his story, and did not
lose his temper in spite of the irritating man
ner in which the cross examination was con-
Quoted.
Finally in the hope of breaking down the
credibility of the witness, the lawyer at ven-
ture asked:
Have you ever been in prison?"

"Ah," exclaimed the attorney, with tri-
umphant glance at the jury, :" | thought as

there?"

the witness quietly, with a manner that was
interpreted by the lawyer as indicating chagrin
at an unex xpected exposure.

cance of the fact. Now. sir, tell the jury where
you were confined"
"Iu Andersonyille," replied the old man,
drawing himself up proudly.
There was moment of silence, the jurors
looked at each other, and then the courtroom
rang with cheers which the court officers were
powerless to check, and in which some of the

Judging Sister Women.

A writer in the Housewife says that the Oft
repeated assertion that Z" women are hard upon
each other" is almost without foundation.
There are two classes of women who are prone
to be severe in their judgment of their sisters.
To the first belong those who owing in part
perhaps, to temperament and in part to force
of environment, have never come face to face
with genuine temptation, and hence find it
impossible TO understand how another can be
tempted To the second class belong those
who, goaded by consciousness of their own
shortcomings. are always on the alert to detect
in others evidence Of similar weakness But
while representatives of these two classes are
to be found in every community and in every
grade of social life, they are, happily, in the
minority. The world, thank God. is full of
true women, tender, pitying, mother hearted
women. who are always mindful of the sister
hood of woman, and who at all times stand
ready to rebuke the slanderer, TO plead the
cause of the oppressed and to urge gentleness
and forbearance toward the weak and erring.
Never in the worlds history have the relations
between women been so cordial and benefcent
as now. The long crusade in behalf of "wom-
ans rights" though not yet success so far as
the ballot is concerned, has steadily year by
year been drawing woman into better under
standing of woman, into broader and kindlier
sympathy with her in her aspirations, her
periis and her needs, and to-day everywhere it
is woman that is reaching out the helping hand
to woman.

our country.
As long that enemy defiant, nor mount

your General thought it wrong to pursue him
further, and negotiations followed. which resulted,

How far the operations of this army contributed
to the final overthrow Of The Confederacy and the
peace which dawns upon US must be judged
by Others not by US; but that you have done all

due TO hard work and discipline, and that the same
work and discipline are equally important in the
futare. To such "a 20 home. he will only sny that
our favored country Is grand, so extensive, so

The Rebel Yell.

Life in the country. especially in our South
ern country, where people lived far apart and
were employed oftentimes at a considerable dis
tauce from one another and from the houses OF
homes in which they ate and slept, tended, by
exercise in communicating with one another
to strengthen and improve their voices for high
and prolonged notes.
wider range to the vocal sounds was con-
stantly afforded and frequently required.
The voices of women as we'll as of men were
often utilized for long distance calls It may
be amusing to note the difference In intonation
which was usually exhibited by the sexes.
When man had occasion to summon anyone
from distance, the prolonged tone was placed
on the first note, the emphasis on the second,
thus, "O-h, john"
If a female called, the prolonged tone and the
emphasis were both placed on the last note,
thus, You, Johnny! +"
Holoaing screaming, yelling for one person
or another, to their dogs, or at some of the
cattle ON the plantation, with the accompany
ing reverberations from hilltops. over valleys
and plains were familiar sounds throughout
the farming districts of the South in the days
gone by.
1t used 10 be said Of my fathers old negro FORE
maa that he could be distinctly understood a
mile or more away.
Hunting, which was enjoyed and indulged
in more or less by nearly every citizen of the
South, was also conducive to this characteristic
development.

TUESDAY, Is JUNE, 1861.
"This day is set apart by President Jefferson
Davis for fasting and prayer, owing to the de-
plorable condition our Southern country is in.
My prayer sincerely to God is that every
Black Republican in the whole combined
world either men, women, or children. that is
opposed to negro slavery, as it existed in the
Southern Confederacy shall be troubled with
pestilences and calamties Of all kinds and drag
out the balance Of their existence in misery
and degradation, with scarcely food and raj
ment enough to keep soul and body together;

bayonet to pierce the heart of every Northern
soldier that inyades Southern soil. and after
the body has rendered up its traitorous soul
give it a traitors reward, berth in the lake Of
fire and brimstonei Ny honest conviction is
that every man, woman, and child that has
given aid to the Aboltionists are ft subjects for
hell. also ask Thee to aid the Southern Con-
federacy in maintaining our rights in estab-
fishing the Confederate Government. Believ-
ing, in this case, the prayers from the wicked

Weather Forecasts.

copyrighted 1892 by ". 7. Foster. st. Joseph Mo.
Ny last bulletin gave forecasts of the storm
waves to cross the continent from May Sd to
7th and 9th to 18th. The next will reach the
Pacific Coast about the 18th. cross the Western
mountains by the close of the I4ti the great
central valley from 18th to 17th, and the East
e:n States on the 18th.
This storm-wave will inaugurate one of the
most remarkable storm periods of the year
It's influence will be lightly felt east of the
Mississippi River from 9th to 9Th, and for two
months following we may expect dangerous
storms, with excessive rains in parts Of the
country and excessive drouths in other parts.
The worst Of these storms will probably not
occur till after the middle Of May, and in my
next bulletin / will more particularly describe
the movements OF one of these great stor
During the last half of May the storms viii
break the drouth in many places. and inaugu-
rate drontks in other places. Where excessive
rains fell during April may be expected de-
fciency in May. and portions Of Texas, the
Southeastern States, New England, and the
Northern States from New York to Montana,
that suffered from drouth during April, will be
partiaily relieved by rain from the great storms
during the last half of May.
The operations of the drouth in April fully
verified my forecasts by indicating some of its
fayorite lurking places. Western Texas aud
the Southeastern States suffered most, but May
and June will include many other parts in the
drouii districts, while some of the districts
hurt by drouth in April will be relieved in
May.
i have avoided saying much in my published
bulletins about the coming crops for the reason
that my statements might be construed as an
effort to IN fluence the markets. | may say,
however, that, taking the 1899 and 1891 crops
as a standard, l expect the drouth to injure
the cotton crop this year from 10 to % per cent,
and the corn crop from 10 to 10 per cent.
Frosts will come in late next Fall and the
rainfall in the drouth districts will be better
after the 1st of August; therefore crops that
mature late will probably be best. Look for
drcuth where the excessive rains occurred in
April. a
/ am preparing concise statement of April
weather, aud up to the Goth 78 per cent. of my
forecasts had been verified. The moving
storm that crossed the continent from 14th to
22d caused my principal mistakes.

CASUALTIES TO THE SHIPPING.

The Wabash was struck 35 times. One shot
started her leaking, but not very badly. She
was in the very hottest Of the fire. and gave FIVE
shots TO one Of any other OF our ships. and
naturally, from her size and the conspicuous
part she took in the fight, was made the target
for the concentrated fire of all the guns that
could be brought to bear on her.
The Benvilie was in the hottest of the
action. approaching nearer to the shore than
any other of the feet. She was struck five
times The Pawnee was struck nine times.
Most of the other ships were hit several times,
but none were disabled.
This apparent lack Of execution. when the
shots so many times struck the vessels, arises
from the fact that either the rebels purposely
aimed high, for the purpose of breaking the
walking beams and SO cripple the engines of
snch of our vessels as could thus be disabled. or
from the fact that not deeming il possible that
we would have the temerity to engage them at
100 yards instead of two three miles, the
guns were all sighted for the longest range,
aud they consequently carried over and clear
of the hnlis of our ships, and only cut the
upper rigging.
