Life in a Southern Prison.

Our captors did not allow US to see
their newspapers, but, happily for us,
true Union lady lived next door to the
Jail, and in the evening, when all was
quiet, she read the news aloud for our
benefit This lasted about a week and
then was reported to headquarters by
one of the guard. We were cut off
from our evening readings, but soon
Yankee said; keep quiet, boys, and
We'll have paper and read it ourselves
tonight" When it began to grow
dark he tied a board-nail to a small
string and threw it from the grated
window into the Union lady's yard.
In few minutes he had bite, hauled
in his line and dangling from the nail
was the Charleston Mercury. After
that we went fishing every night, and
always with success. Some curious eX-
periments were tried by those who
were sufficiently daring TO attempt to
get to the Union lines, and sometimes
these desperate movements met with
success. One fellow who was acting as
nurse told the men that if they would
put him into blanket and carry him
TO the dead-house, which was outside
the guard, and nail him carelessly in g
coffin, he would take care of what fol-
lowed. Accordingly, the thing was
done, and the next morning the old
darkey, whose task it was to carry away
the corpses of those who had reached
the end OF their sutferings during the
night, started with his load for a burial
place outside the city. When safe
distance had been reached, the nurse
gave the cotlin-lid a kick and arose
The darkey gave one frightful yell and
fled toward Richmond, while the dead
man went on his way rejoicing Blue

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intlamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
famed, you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out, and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever. Nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.

that, aside from all social and intellectual
benefits, the grange can and should be
made of pecuniary advantage to its
members. 1t was for that reason we
lately urged that it should give atten-
ton to the business protection of its
members, by keeping a record to the
standing and character of commission
dealers and other business concerns
that seek for the patronage of our
farmers. Was il that they were so
busily engaged in frolicking and social
pleasure that not one officer or member
took up the pen :" to notice what was
certainly proper subject for discus
sion? 1t must be remembered, and
insisted upon, that farming is a bust
ness; and as such ii needs business
methods and business organization
for the protection of its business inter-
ests. The great fault of American
farmers their great misfortune,
too, lis that they lack business method,
both as regards their productive indus
try and their dealings with the con-
sumers of their products. Nothing, in
our judgment, would give the grange
such an impetus in this state as the
fact that it was promoting effectually
the business interests of its members.
1t is really sound indictment against
the order that members leave it as an
act of business economy. 1t is quite
easy to reverse this state of things.
Rightly managed each grange could
be made to make money for every

ment paid for besides. Who will stir
up this side of the question? The

THE StOckmon and Farmer says that
"an American journal has lately been
comparing English and American farm
ers, sometimes making points which
are Just and fair, and sometimes eXag-
gerating the differences, of course
making an exhibit in the main strongly
favorable to our own farmer. In re-
plying to this the English Agricultural
Gazette, as would naturally be expected .,
shows an opposite bias, and says some
pretty curt things. The American
journal says, among other things, that
when the English farmer 'learns to take
off his coat and get down to solid work
he may begin to find that his receipts
every year do not fall so far short of
his expenditure To which the Gazette
comes back in this vigorous fashion
when the American farmer learns how
to farm, when his average yield of
wheat becomes half as much as that of
England, instead of only little over
one-third, and when elementary agri-
cultural principles, settled here half a
century or a century ago, have begun
to dawn upon his mind, the American
farmer may earn enough from his bust
ness to enable him to live as comfort
ably as an English farm laborer at the
present time.' There may be something

THE Mirror and Farmer asks: "How
is it that if farmers neglect all business
principles in the management of their
affairs, let everything 90 at random
and trust to chance, as they are con-
tinually accused of doing, that there
are so few absolute failures among
them, and that large per cent of the
failures that do occur are among men
who get their money to start with in
some other way and went to farming
with the idea that it was a simple
recreation? Farming is not only a
business, but it is science; and yet that
term does not cover the ground, for
there is no other occupation that calls
for knowledge and use of so many
sciences, and all combined with and
depending on the application of bust.
ness principles; and people who criti-
else farmers most are those who have
least conception of the knowledge and
skill required, and points on which the
most fault is found are often those
technical questions on which there is
honest difference of opinion among the
best farmers, and on which experience
has shown that one method may be
right in some cases and wrong in 9TH
ers." These are pithy questions.
