THE FLIES.

II is a settled fact, proven by ex-
pertinent, that flies may be the means
of disseminating yellow fever, con-
sumption, small pox, and other in
fectious diseases. There is little doubt
that many cases of what is called spor-
adic cholera come from their visits.
They should be excluded from the
house and especially from the sick
room, and all articles of food and
drink should be protected from con-
tamination by them. If in addition to
precautions like these the system be-
regulated by mild laxative, like tho
Laxative Gum Drop, there is absolute
ly no danger from contagious diseases.
These gum drops contain no deleteri-'
Gus substance but they will remove
from the system all morbid material
that clogs the stomach and bowels and
irnpedes digestion. They can be carried
in the pocket or in the valise without
trouble. If your druggist will not order
them for you, write to us. They coma
in boxes in two sizes, 1Oc. and 25c.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

IT requires the very best of manage
ment to make the farm carry sufficient
manure to keep up the fertility of the
soil without using green manure or
commercial fertilizers. Stock In
dicator.
AN English gardener who has had
great success in raising radishes makes
his radish beds with nearly or quite
oue-half soft coal ashes and SCOT.
Under this plan his beds are not infest-
ed with worms.
THE points of the compass can be
told from trees by very simple observa-
tions. The side of the tree upon which
moss is found is the north. If the trees
be exposed to the sun its heaviest and
longest limbs will be on the south side.
Ir roots supply too little moisture the
tree will not make growth, if too much
it will not produce fruit; therefore, it
is necessary to prune roots. The prac-
teal fruit grower will know which
remedy he needs to apply.-Prof Goff.
SOME one asked us the other day if
we ever saw good farmer who was a
poor man, and we have been looking
around and thinking ever since, and
cannot yet put our hand upon one. We
wonder if there is nol moral in this
some ewhere?-Southern Farm.
WHEN breeding to improve, no mis-
take will be made If the male is pure
bred. Ii he is not the best to be found
he will at least be far superior to the
scrub. If every farmer would aim to
grade up his stock he would soon double
the value of his fiocks and herds.
The Japan persimmon is usually
grated on tbs common persimmou
without difficulty. Nurserymen usual,
ly graft them precisely as they graft
apples in winter time, only employing
collar-grafting instead of cutting ur
pieces OF the roots. Monthly.
| THE corn crop is almost always q
paying one when it's simplest demands
in the way of cultivation and fertiltza
ton are complied with. On poor
| ground, without manure, and not vel
worked, it cannot be expected to give
n generous return.-Farmers' Home

Deadly Work of a Confederate sharp
shooter.
'At the first battle of Chancellors-
VILE" said the general, "a confederate
sharpshooter concealed in 4 large tree q
considerable distance from the union
headquarters killed Gen. Whipple as he
was walking along the road at COM
paratively safe distance from the
enemy. A big Minnesotan, who stood
over six feet high and whose smiling
face was as innocent looking as that of
an infant, had been watching the puffs
of smoke from the southern soldiers
rifle concealed in the treetop. He had
also observed the sad havoc among his
brother officers and men, who had be-
come victims of the ritleman's unerrine
MIN, and determined to drop the south
erner. He could not see the concealed
foe, but commenced firing through the
branches of the tree, up and down, fol-
lowing parallel lines, much after tho
fashion of farmer planting u field Of
corn.
FINALLY one of his shots caused the
riheman in gray to come sprawling
from the tree in squirrel fashion, and.
turning to me, the giant soldier from
Minnesota said in the blandest manner,
with perfect baby smile: 4 fotchsd

As matter of fact, there is scarcely

OF caste, the more absolutely 1t is dis
severed from anything relating to
external appearance. The social In

him as the South Sea Islander feels
toward his idol; he sees that he is ugly,
but he knows that he is great" The
most striking case perhaps of this COM
plete reversal of judgment under the in
fiuence of caste is to be found in those
two tribes described by the author of
Two Happy Years in Ceylon, the Rock
Veddahs and the Rodiyaa The Rock
! Veddahs are stunted, hideous, and
filthy; they live in secluded caves and
holes; they eat bats and rats, and make
their scanty clothing from the bark Of
trees; but the Singhalese regard them
as Of the very highest caste, and it
would be no disgrace for woman Of
good social position to larry q Rock
Veddah. On the other hand, the very
greatest disgrace that cou Id be inflicted
on such woman would be to marry
her to Rodiya, although these last are
q race distinguished for beauty, at least
in youth, and gentle and innocent by
nature. The Rodiyas cannot enter a
temple or village; they ar forbidden
to till the soil or draw W ater from q
well; they cannot build house or di
vide a burden into two bundles; theil
shadow must not fall on q stream, les
it be polluted; no m ember of another
caste may touch them without disgrace
yet any one may shoot them withou
blame. All this is supposed to be il
consequence of the act of an ancest o.
two thousand years ago, who inveigiet
a king into eating human flesh. Ass
consequence the beautiful race is at chi

Trouble.

Trouble.
The greatest cavalry battle ever
fought on the American continent took
place at Brandy Station on the 9th of
June, 1868. At early dawn the federal
advance guard crossed the Rappahan-
mock and charged our outposts with
such vigor that they entered our camp
at their heels. Most of my regiment,
Sixth Virginia, had turned their horses
out the evening before, so that no more
than fifty of us were prepared to mount
Our reveille was the crack of the pistol
and carbine of the foe. These fifty men
were quickly mounted, formed, and or
dered to charge. Not moment was to
be lost, us some of the enemy's advance
were in our artillery camp.

that was the question. Although /

wooded forest of pine scrub and black

country road. No time was to be lost,
therefore there was little ceremony.

HIS FIRST FIGHT.


Tho Most Trying Experience in the Life
of soldier.
81 shall never forget the first time
was under fire." said Col. Thomas Cren-
shaw to party of veterans who were
fighting their battles DER again in the
rotunda of the Laclede. "We were sup
porting battery and had laid down on
stretch of ground as level as ball
room floor The confederates were be-
yond rifle shot, but they opened on us
with artillery and they did everlasting
ly plow up the ground with shot and
shell. Every old soldier knows that
artillery fire at long range is not half
SO much to be dreaded as the rattle of
musketry, which sounds on battle
field like Chinese irecrackers in a thun-
der storm, but it is a good deal more
skeery' to novice. There we lay for
half an hour, never moving finger,
| watching the puffs of flame from a
dozen cannon and the shells come tear
| ing through the air with their fiendish
shrek, apparently headed directly for
our faces. l tell you position of that
kind tries the very soul of your raw re-
cruits. Give him a chance to shoot
back and he is all right, but fighting is
one thing and waiting to get killed
without striking a blow is quite an
other. But there was more ahead for
us. After the artillery duel had ragged
for some time a regiment of confeder-
ate cavalry debouched from the wood
with all the deliberation and precision
of dress parade. They were Missisip-
plans, tall, athletic fellows who sat on
their horses like centaurs. They
halted and dressed ranks while
the batteries behind them hurled
a perfect rain of shell over their
heads. We could see their colonel
riding down the line and pointing with
his sword to our battery, which was
plunging shells in among them with
frightful rapidity, but little effect.
They advance step or two, every horse
man seeming to choose his ground.
Here they come, slowly, steadily, like
great gray wave, conscious of ire
sistible power. The bugle rings out
sharp and shrill, they break into q
quick trot, eight hundred sabers lear
into the air and the sta.s and bars
like portentous meteor. On they come
eight hundred yards, seven hundred
six hundred! Gods! has our battery gone
silent? Five hundred. four hundred
charge! Every spur sinks deep, the
confederate yell rises from every
throat and the column leans forward
like a thunderbolt, into the face O
which crashes the canister from oul
four six-pounders. Great ragged hole'
are torn through deep column, but they
!, close instantly and it comes on uncheck
ed. Now it is our turn! We are il
front of the battery, in the pathway o
the avalanche. We pour volley int
it at eighty yards! A hundred brav'
men reel out of their saddles, a hundred
horses go plunging to their knees! Th
line wavers! Another volley ant
another! The line breaks, and suddenl.
retreats. While we swing our caps ant

The Republican City Convention will
have an interesting question TO decide.
At the primaries in the Third ward
there were three sets of delegates voted
for. John Strobe'S ticket got - votes;
Donald McDonald's ticket SO votes, and
Henry Hahra'S ticket - votes. The
name of Darby O'TOoe was on both the
Mcdonald and Bahra tickets and he got
one more vote than either OF the Strooel
candidates. Strobel claims his whole
set of delegates were elected because
his ticket received larger vote than
either of the other tickets. Nc
Donald and Bahra both claim O'Toole as
their delegate, because his cumulative
vote was greater than that OF any other
candidate voted for. The judges at the
primaries accredited the Strobel dele
