VIRGINIA AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

No propensity deserves greater encourage
ment than that which leads to economy; but
there is a false economy which the common
sense of the people has canonized in the
phrase penny wise and pound foolish" The
condition of mind which this phrase de
scribes often denies a small expenditure
which would bring large returns, and manv
times plunges its victim into costly endeayors
to repair losses that q little prudent foresight
would have easily steered him clear Of We

self-constituted 'watcb-dogs of the treasury
With his ever ready objection to what all SEN
sible men wish to see done. he thwarts en-

Quadruples the cost of bringing around the
same occasion again
We have been led into this train of thought
by hearing the objections urged to the State
of Virginia making an appropriation suitable
for exhibiting III the Worlds Fair at Chicago

in her mountains and valleys They say she
is too poor. If the arguments of these gentle
men shall prevail. Patagonia. and even Mo
rocco. will probably be worthily represented
there, while the space set aside for the great
Commonwealth of Virginia will be vacant
and placarded as for rent, because the right
full tenant was too poor to furnish it. The
prospect is not fattering or encouraging to
those who wish well to Virginia

be set aside and reigiously held as a fund

The anti-lottery Democrats of Louisiana
are not exhibiting as great devotion to prin-
eiple as they profess. Although the lottery
faction has accepted the decision of the
supreme Court against them and have offered
TO withdraw their ticket and 60 into another
nominating convention so as to present
solid Democratic front. the anti-lottcryites
persist in keeping up the split. This looks
rather suspicious.

FARM AND GARDEN.

WHEREVER the conditions are favor
able for the rotting of silage, there it
is quite possible for the silo lining to
rot also if the lining be of wood
THE large head lice are the most de-
structive on little chicks of any kind
and it is quite probable that the only
way to destroy these is with grease.
WHEN the horses have finished the
heavy work of the season the best
mode of curing sore feet is to take off
their shoes and turn them on the pas
ture.
KEEP the new canes of raspberries
and blaclSberries cut back if they have
made heavy growth, which will induce
them to throw out late-als, become
stoclSy and produce better fruit next
season.
The best place for coop contain
ing hen with brood of chicks is on
the asparagus patch. The chicks dill
gently search the stalks and destroy
the asparagus beetle, which damages
the plants in some localities.
+ SALT is recommended as an excellent
ertiliZer around the trunks of ounce
.rees. The salt promotes the growth
of the trees, increases the size and
quality of the fruit, and also destroys
worms or maggots in the soil.
S. +. SCOTT, of New York, says he
has tried all ways of applying paris
green to potatoes, and has settled on
using it with wheat middlings and ap-
plying with sieve. If fine ashes are
mixed in part it does just as we'll.
THE root knot is disease especially
prevalent among the peach, walnut,
chestnut and some other trees This
fact should be borne in mind when Sc.
lecting trees for transplanting; reject
those that have knots on their roots.
IT is best not to cut young trees
back in the fall but perform the worl,
in the spring. If cut back now the
trees will require another pruning in
the spring should any protion of the
trees be winter killed, which is liable
to happen every season.

Good HEALTH,

In the popular Science Monthly"
DR.. j. IA. Rice maintains that physical
exercise not only corrects many Slight
bodily ailments which in themselves
are sufficient to make labor burden
some and rob life of many of IFS
pleasures, but also, in many diseases
of the abdominal and pelvic organs,
resulting from congestion due to poor
circulation, exercise "by increasing
the activity of the heart and aiding in
the venous return, will do much to
prevent a large class of diseases" In
addition when you catch cold get a
bottle of Reid's German Cough and
Kidney Cure and take it freely. Then
exercise will assist you in preserv-
ing perfect health but it will not
wholly throw off cold. In fact
many people take cold from exercis-
ing too vigorously and then cooling
off too suddenly. Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure will prevent
any i'll results from any thing of this
sort. Get it of any dealer. Small
bottles Is cents; large bottles SO cents.

The young farmer who thinks he can
farm as did his grandfather and sue
ceed with an education that covers 4
meager knowledge of reading, spelling,
writing and arithmetic will find when
too late that he has made an error that
will render his life we'll nigh useless.
The farmer of the next twenty-five
years will be II thinker. He will be
the dominant actor in government His
papers will be the dailies and his mali
will be delivered to his house. His
business will be systematic and he
must keep accounts that will show
what crops and stock are profitable.
The coming successful farmer must not
only be educated in the ordinary Eng
lish branches, but he must have good
practical business training. Such an
education is rs essential to the farmer
as to the man in the counting-room.-

Soldiers Recollections of n Sad Scene
During the Great Conflict.
1t was the night of the 3Oth of June,
1862. Struggling along the Marquis
City road in the black darkness, keep
ing step to the cannon's boom, we
reached Fraziers farm just as the last
shot was fired, about ten o'clock at
night.
Fraziers farm possessed great advan-
tages in favor of the federals, because
they brought every piece of their artil-
lery to bear with deadly effect, while,
the confederate guns could be served
with but feeble success
Tired and exhausted from the long
march and heat, we threw ourselves
upon the ground near where seventeen
pieces of the enemy's artillery had been
charged and captured / could not
sleep. Out of the night, from blue and
gray alike, came piteous calls for water
or help, so / and others arose and did
al; we could to alleviate the suffering.
Save these piteous cries, the twink
ling light from the feeble lanterns here
and there, as they hovered over the
wounded, was all there was to tell
that we were upon the batttefeld-so
ominous was the stiffness and SO thick
the darkness.
But when morning dawned at last,
the whole indescribable scene burst
upon me.
Yonder stands those grim guns; in
front of them the earth SCARED and
scanned in.o great waves. Yonder lie
the infantry supports behind improvised
breastworks of rails, branches, sods-
anything, however frail, that will turn
the lcaden hail. On the right of these
stands small cabin, torn, perforated
literally honeycombod = by shot.
Around in ghastly heaps lie the dead
more Of them gray than blue. Gallant
fellows How could they stem that
torrent of Ere and capture those guns,
whose grim mouths a"e black from
hnrling death.

tive of mans inhumanity to man"
But the cabin! 1t tells its own story,
which read from the surroundings At
