Our Southern Mountaineers.

The subject Of American dialects was up
at the club, and we were discussing the
phrases like ''guess," calculate" and
reckon that now distinguish the New
Highlander from the western han and the
southern man from both.
The major, who is quiet observer, and
who, by virtue of his reading and extensive
travel, is looked upon as an authority, laid
his cigar on the stand beside him and said:
Gentlemen, the railroad, the newspaper
and the telegraph make it impossible for
any section of our country long to keep up
peculiar dialect I will confess, however,
that before the late war parts of our coun-
try, notably the mountain region of the
southland, mark you, | do not refer to the
blacks, whose accent must always remain
peculiar, but the people in the mountains
Of the south-had and think still have a
dialect that in its way is very peculiar.
Zone characteristic of this dialect is the
tendency the people have to tack on the adj
dition 'uns,' or ones, to all their personal
pronouns. Permit me to illustrate this:
In the Chattanooga campaign found
myself, with a company of very hungry
troopers, over in the Sequatchie valley, to
the west of the Tennessee. 1t was the fall
of the year, and as rations were scarce, our
army being cut off in Chattanooga at that
time, we had to subsist principally on nuts,
with now and then wild hog which one
of our troopers brought down with his car
bine.
'Out in this valley / met pretty noun
tain girl witha tin pailful of chestnuts, and
when offered to buy them she said,
Say. mister, be you a Yank?'
8 I am replied.
stThen you can't have the nuts
".Why not?'
"Instead of replying directly she said:
"sWhat for do you uns all want TO- to
come down and fight we uns all? We uns
don't want fo' to fight you uns, if SO be
you uns let we unS alone
Despite this protest succeeded in buy
ing the nuts for plug Of tobacco, which
the mountain maid preferred to paper
money.
After the battle of Chickamauga my
friend Gates, of the Thirty-third Ohio,
handed me letter which he declared he
picked up in the battlefield, and think
that was SO, for it had blood splash across
the page, made no doubt by the blood Of
the poor fellow to whom it was written.
sit was love letter sent by mountain
girl to her lover in the Confederate army.
Being an old bachelor myself, I do not
know whether love letters should end with
a rhyme or not. This one certainly did,
and this is the rhyme, which have never
forgotten:
.''Tis hard for you uns to go to war;
IT'S hard for YOU uns to fight;
'Tis hard for you uns to march all day
And sleep out of doors all night.
But tits harder for we uns .
From you SAs TO part
When you uns has got
Weuns' heart" !

Ashes for Peach Trees.

Galen Wilson tells that of two peach
trees Of the same variety. standing two
rods apart he put two bushels Of ashes
about one and none around the other.
On the last named the leaves were light
colored, the fruit small and nearly all
dropped off, while on the one that had
the ashes the foliage was dark green and
glossy and the fruit larger than ever
before, SO that it was necessary to prop
up the branches. He got two bushels OF
peaches for his two bushels of ashess
which was not q bad trade for him.

Mushrooms and Flowers.

An even temperature Of 55 to 90 dogs.
is given in Meehan's Monthly as right
for growing mushrooms in houses. Since
the almost universal adoption Of the
method by florists Of growing the winter
flowers in long benches it has been found
that the space beneath the bench can be
turned to profitable advantage in the
growth Of mushrooms, and in many
cases mushrooms and cut flowers are
found to be extremely profitable.

Worth Mentioning.

The Crosby peach is said to exceed the
Wager in the hardness of its fruit buds.
The new grape, EARLY Ohio, it is
claimed, ripens early and furnishes a
very large, snowy black bunch of fruit.
James Sheehan says that the finest
sward he ever saw was made from this
mixture: Ten quarts of Rhode Island
bent grass, four quarts Of white clover,
eight quarts of Kentucky blue grass and
six quarts of redtop grass seed, sown at
the rate of six bushels per acre.

OUR DANGER.
Look Out for the Spring Of 1898
FOREwARNED is FoREARMED.

The Hatcheries of Cholera, and What Ii
To Be Seen There-If the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where Will Il
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer of com
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
well known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says:
sit is feared that the seeds Of death
sowed last summer will yield fruitful
harvest in the spring"
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the spring and summer of 1893.
The country is ripe for it.
Our lax immigration laws will be
wholly responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1898.
For years the United States has been
Europe's sewer. All the scum of her
human tides have been skinned off and
ladled to our shores.
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turkey, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the rag-tag
the vile, the diseased, and the utterly
lost, to our shores. This they have been
doing for years with the utmost impuni-
ty..
AS famous New York physician re-
Gently remarked to the writer.
''How can we escape Cholera next
wear? Of course, it won't break out up
on 9Th Avenue, but it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land. 1t
q will break out over on Forsyth, and d.
t vision. and Hester streets, and the
eBowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points. and Roosevelt street Those
points are points of dirt and yermin.
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end.'
j This is an awful but timely warning.
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
% The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for it.
Get your house-that is your body-in
s.perfect order.
Purify your system.
70 Cleanse and enrich your blood.
~ Remember that the Boston Globe said
ieditorially:
!, contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low and whose general health
lis impaired. are the first to fall preys to
epidemics.
Spouse to inquiry, said:
~ Certainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. If Cholera
/, reaches our shores everyone should be
prepared physically, SO far as possible, to
Withstand it. We should put our bod
lies in good condition, as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the liver
/, clogged, and the stomach out of order,
such a person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in
good health
