TWO YOUNG HEROES.
Secretary Herbert Talks About Incl
denis of the War.

dents ofthe War.
Blue and Gray for August.
Il never saw more glorious con-
duct, said Secretary Herbert, ethan
that displayed by two youths in
their teens, one wearing the blue,
and the other the gray. The first
was in the second days fight. My
regiment had charged right up
among the guns of the Union bat
terry, whose men and horses had
nearly all been killed. There was
ore gun to which four horses had
been attached. The two rear horses
had been shot down in harness. The
two leaders were apparently unhurt,
and on one of them sat lad, head
erect, vigorously plying his whip on
the other horse, and striving to save
his gun. He was devoting his whole
soul 80 that purpose, utterly I'M
mindful of our men, who were surg
ing about him. He was literally like
the Casabianca of the flaming deck.
| could have touched him with nv
sword, and was just about to beg
him to surrender, when shots rang
out from behind me, and he dropped
, from his horse, dead as he fell He
might have saved himself, but he
seemed determined to save that gun
| or die.
1t was sublime, but 1 can never
! think of it without a shudder at the
! horrors of the sacrifices of that war.
| The other instance was on the third
i day, in the height of the terrific
artillery duel that was preliminary
to the great charges. Our men were
in ID line awaiting the word to ad-
vance. In front of us, riding deliber-
ately up and down the line, was u
handsome youth in gray, mounted
on a fleet looking iron-gray horse,
and bearing bright new battle-fag
whose vivid stars and bars SHIN
n.ered in the sunlight. The boy sat
erect, looking as proud as any Ru-
pert, and his horse as spirited as an
Arabian. The flying bullets and
shrieking shells never phased his
suberb bearing, as he rode to and
fro, up and down the long line. Now
and then he would disappear in thick
clouds of powdersmoke, but he would
be seen riding back, his face actually
beaming with what O'Hare calls the
''ardor of the fight" Before the
word came to move, he had gone
again down the line, and had not
returned.
never knew whether he was killed
or not, but | thought Involuntary
of how that Yankee boy had died the
day before. These were indelible
pictures caught in a CLEAN of light
in shifting battle-smoke, and have
always been to me anything but
counterfeit presentments of North
ern and Southern courage.

GOOD and Bad Mothers.

On this subject Amelia E. Barr
writes in the North Amer lean Re-
view:
1.-The difference between good and
bad mothers is so vast and so far
reaching that it is no exaggeration
to say that the good mothers of this
generation are building the homes of
the next generation, and that the
bad mothers are building the prisons
For out OF families nations are made;
and if the father be head or the hands
of family, the mother is the heart.
No office in the world is so honorable
as hers, no priesthood so holy, no
influence SO sweet and strong and
lasting.
"How to manage young children,
how to strengthen them physically;
how best to awaken their intellects,
engage their affections and win their
confidence; how to make home the
sweetest spot on earth, a place Of
love, order, and repose, a temple of
purity where innocence is respected,
and where no one is permitted to
talk of indecent subjects Or to read
indecent books; these are the duties
of a good mother; and her position,
if SO filled, is one of dignity and
grave Importance. For it is on the
hearthstOne she gives the fine healthy
initial touch to her sons and daugh-
ters that is not effaced through life,
and that makes them blessed in their
genera ton"

Half Bushel In one Night and She
Has Become Fierce.

A dispatch from Danbury, Conn,
says: Nine. de Granville Knox, at
one time Barnum's ''female Sam
son." says she owns the only African
python that ever laid halt a bushel
of eggs in one night
This feat was performed a few
nights ago by her huge python Eve
Adam and Eve are said to be the
two largest serpents in captivity and
have been shown by their owner all
over the country. DR.. Knox, Nine.
knox's husband, had occasion to
pass the snake cage several times on
Sunday and every time Eve would
set up a vigorous kissing.
He was surprised at this unusual
proceeding, for the serpent had never
shown anger before. On Monday
morning he again passed the cage
and Eve was apparently ugiier than
ever. DR.. Knox investigated the
cause and found the huge python
coiled saround a pile of eggs which
she had laid during the night. DR..
Knox says pythons alone, OF all the
snake family, incubate. Pythons
have laid eggs before in captivity,
but there is no record OF any having
been Matched. Eve laid about one
hundred and twenty five eggs-more
than half bushel l have secured two
of them. They are very heavy for
their size and are soft to the touch,
oval and of a gray color. The
smaller is the size and shape of Il
duck s; the larger is no thicker, but
about six inches long. They are
slightly notified. 1t is said the shell
will become hard and white. Those
l have are already whitening and are
fast becoming hard. Eve has be-
come very ferocious, and it is not
safe to approach her. The best pos
sible care will be taken of her, so
that she may have every opportuni-
ty to hatch the eggs.

THE OLD NORTH STATE.
She Shows Her Universal Products
| the Fair.

Corr. Baltimore Sun
North Carolina shows her various
products in quantity The exhibits are
revelation of the States resour ces,
and the many products and their
general excellence is literally praised
by visitors. Over the main entrance
to the display, in letters formed of
grains, is: "North Carolina has no
blanks in the census. 1t grows every
farm product, from buckwheat to
sugar cane;" and in another con-
spicuous place is the legend, "North
Carolina is the future ranch for early
lambs" In the centre of the display
is large pagoda with glass sides in
which are shown in framed partitions
an immense collection of all the
cereals and beanssso f many kinds, in
numberable varieties of field and
garden peas, which include all the
varieties of the celebrated COW peas
of the South, grass seeds and the
numerous other seeds that are
raised on farms. There is a show of
fine tobacco, brights and little
mahogany. Cotton is shown in the
F, boil, on the stalk. after ginning the
seed, &c. OF sorghum forty varieties
wheat samples are unexcelIed. None
of the Western States show as good
corn. An exhibit of upland rice of
fine quality indicates the industry is
to become a profitable one. The
State was the first to raise the upland
variety of rice. The lowland variety
is also raised. Tea of fine flavor is
shown, cured and readyfor the table.
The noted native grapes are shown
i'll jars. The marls, phosphates and
soils are displayed and explained
The broom corn exhibited indicates
the industry should become an ex-
ceedingly profitable one, as none OF
the States show broom straw that is
as fine. THERE'S a good wool exhibit
The successful truck farming of the
State is excellently shown by series
of large photographs. A model of a
tobacco-curing barn is viewed with
interest. Collectively the exhibits
are a magnificent object lesson of the
States resources.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK.
The Winston Tobacco Market-The
Growing Crop-Other Notes.

The Winston Tobacco Market-The
Growing Crnp-Other Notes.
From Southern Tobacco Journal, Aug 5th.
Receipts of leaf this week have been
considerably better, the weather be-
ing much more favorable for handling
Wagon trade formed good part of
the weeks business, though shipments
from other markets were larger than
usual.
The quality was unchanged and
prices were about the same as those
ruling for some time past. Filters
were actively taken at prices which
are considered high enough under ex-
listing circumstances, though planters
complain that tobacco sells too low
And it does, but so long as surplus is
grown we cannot expect prices to get
any higher.
Since our last report was written
the condition Of the growing crop has
improved very much. The rains have
been plentiful and general and from
all reports the crop has good chance
now to redeem itself and make good
one after all. In the Eastern part of
the State is being cut rapidly and
very fine cures are reported.
Manufacturers are making fairly
good shipments and speak more hope
fully of trade. Good orders are COM
ing in for future delivery.

Alexander Ham.ston's Thirteen Trees

ri
1t is an odd fact that the thirteen
trees which Alexander Hamilton
planted near his country house, the
Grange, to symbolic the original
States of the Union, and which are
still standing near the old manor
house on Consent avenue, between
One Hundred and Forty-second and
One Hundred and Forty-third
streets, have kept pace with the
growth of the States which they
represent. For instance: New York
State is represented by the largest
tree, standing i'll the center of the
group. Close to it stands the next
largest, representing the State of
Pennsylvania. Rhode Island is
represented Ivy the smallest tree,
which is a mere baby by the side Of
the others, and the crooked tree is
called South Carolina. 1t has taken
an abrupt turn and grown percepti-
bly, out OF the grove, then it turned
again just as suddenly and grew up
straight. South Carolina was the
first State to secede from the Union.
Since peace has been restored, how
ever, she has been one of the most
thrifty and fiourishing of the South
ern States. The house is now used
as a Sunday school room. 1t was
Hamilton's residence at the time of
his duel with Aaron Burr in Wee
hawken in 1904.

As to my acts in preparing and forward

answer at any and all times. Mayor
Blanton has not as yet shown, or at
