As large hearted Union lady, resi-
dent in Covington, Ky, wife of a gen
tleman of the same character, was
distributing lot of fine apples, OF
which she had half bushel basket
full, to the soldiers encamped back of
that city, she gave an apple to one
soldier Of q group who exhibited pecu-
liar emotion as she handed it to him,
observing at the same time that it was
pleasant thing to receive gifts from
lady. At this she asked him wheth-
Ell he had wife, and Immediately his
eyes filled with tears, which rolled
down lis cheeks as he replied:
eyes, madam, L have wife and six
children"
Observing his emotion, her own eyes
rapidly filled at the sight, she quickly
remarked to him:
well, keep up good heart.
Good heart ?" yes, madam, that is
my name; Goodheart is my name"
Upon the instant their tears were
changed to smiles, and Goodheart, the
lady, and the soldiers companions
broke into hearty laugh.

Leave-Taking at the Station.

A squad of Soldier boys were about
to set off for the seat of war. ut the
station a large crowd of friends had
gathered and there was the usual
amount of kissing, embracing, and
leave taking. A loud-voiced man was
entertaining group of ladies with his
conversation, and he remarked, as one
of the soldiers sweet little wives was
passing, "If L was going to the war
and any of my friends should come

service at Gettysburg gained him the
rank of major in the regular army. At
Culpeper Court House he was wound

tie of Yellow Tavern he was brevetted

battle, captured seventeen stands of
colors, eleven guns, 200 wagons and
1,600 prisoners. For gallant services
at Five Forks and Dinwiddle Court
House, Custer was brevetted brigadier
general in the United States Army in
March, 1865. In a general order ad-
dressed to his division, dated Apo
mattox Court House, in April, he said ::
During the past six months, although
in most instances confronted by SUI
perior numbers, you have captured
from the enemy in open battle Ill
pieces of field artillery, 50 battle flags
and upwards of 10000 prisoners of

You have never lost gun; never lost
a color and never been defeated; and
notwithstanding the numerous en-
gagements in which you have borne a
prominent part, including those me-
morable battles of the Shenandoah,
you have captured every piece of an
tillery which the enemy have dared to
open upon you,

to all of us. Near the center of the

Custer waves his hat and thousand
gallant soldiers in blue dash their caps
in the air. Such was Gen. Custer in
the presence Of conquered foe.
After the war he served in Texas,
and on the plains for three years, VIM

1873 he went to Dakota, fighting two
engagements with the Indians. The

A close picket line was stretched
along the coast at night Immediately
at the waters edge. Each post was
usually occupied by q corporal and
four men; two of the men went out at
dark and remained until midnight,
then were relieved by the other two.
On one occasion about one o'clock in
the morning, myself and brother being
on post together, we espied a boat,
about 100 yards from the shore ap-
preaching the point where we were sit
ting. Following instructions to the
letter, my brother went some 40 or 50
yards to report the fact to the corporal,
the corporal following his instructions
to the letter sent him to report to the
officer in charge of the picket, and
came on with his two men to where !
was. The boat during this time had
run it's bow ashore within twenty feet
of me, while I was crouched behind a
large log, my hammer sprung and
finger on the trigger, covering the
breast of the man in the boat, l am
certain he did not see me.
AS the corporal approached me he
challenged the man with "Who comes
there" The reply was, "One." "Come
ashore one;" he sat quiet few mo-
ments, and we heard his boat drag on
the sand.
Not waiting the corporals orders, L
remarked, Hes going to move off, let's
blow him out of the boat, and imme-
diately / stepped forward, and cover
ing him with deliberate aim, l pulled
trigger within twenty feet Of the man.
l recollect that q peculiar sensation
that 1 would kill him shot through my
mind. My hammer fell and the cap
burst clearly, but the gun did not fire.
The corporal and the other two men
fired but missed him. He lay down in
his little boat and carried himself off
in it, so far as I know unhurt; escap-
ing from four Confederate soldiers
with rifles in their hands.
A feeling of shame and disgrace pos
sessed me somewhat as we reported the
matter. If he had had six shooter
he could have killed all four Of us, if
he had been an expert shot. L have
ever thought since that the same
Providence that shielded Washington
at Fort Du Quesno, was present to
protect this man on that night.

Crcom Ripcnine Nv Bactcrio.

The chief object of the rirening of
cream is to produce the butter aroma,
and this aroma, though very anej-
cent, controls the price of the butter
This flavor the butter-maker owes to
the bacterial for by their growth the
materials in the cream are decom-
posed and the compounds formed
which produce the lavors and odors Of
high quality butter. Different species
of bacteria vary much as to the Havors
which they produce, some giving rise
to good, some to extra fine, and others
to a very poor quality OF butter. A
majority of our common dairy species
produce good but not the highest
quality of butter. Up to the present
timo the butter-maker has had no
means of controlling tho species in his
cream, but has had to Use these fur
nished by the farmer. The bacteriol-
ogist can isolate and obtain in pure
culture the species Of bacteria which
produce the best-Aavore1 butt II. He
can then furnish them to the cream
cries to use as starters in cream ripen-
ing. The artificial ripening of or am
pl omises much for the near future, al
though it has been applied only on a
small scale at the present time. The
use of a pure culture of species from
Uruguay impro ed the tla,o of the
butter of Connecticut creamery over
20 per cent, according to expert esti-
mates. Most species OF bacteria in bad
butter are probably assoc ated with
tilthiness Hence proper inspection
of the hams and dairies to insure
proper conditions, especially cleanli-
ness, will be a means of avoiding much
of the trouble in cream ripening, and
will in many cases result in an inn

The Heath murder Trial.

FRESNO, Cal, March 27.-At the open
ing of the Heath trial this morning w.
D. Tupper made the opening statement
for the defense, setting up what line of
testimony would be followed. Nothing
sensational was promised. 1t will be
shown that Heath was friendly to Nc
Whirter and on two occasions has
thrashed men who spoke evil of Nc
Whittier. There was promised sweep
ing contradiction and impeachment of
the prosecutions witnesses. An alibi
was promised for r. B. Terry. Mr..
Upper said that the testimony given
yesterday by Mrs. Palmer was only the
hallucination of a dying woman too near
the grave to know what she was talking
about. Not much stress will be laid on
the suicide theory, but Mr.. Upper
promised that enough evidence would
be introduced on that line to raise a
doubt in the mind of the jurors. Twenty
eight witnesses for the prosecution were
named by Upper, who would be shown
to have sworn to falsehoods.

Prendergast, the murderer of Mayor
Harrison, can stand it to have death
sentence passed upon him, but when a
fellow prisoner wrote a parody on

to it, it was too much, SO he started in
to whip the other fellow and succeeded
in smashing his nose.
The smallest baby yet reported was
born March 4th in Killinsworth, Con-

father weighing about 100 pounds and
the mother is a stout, healthy woman.
The child is boy, perfectly formed, and
at its birth weighed only eight ounces.
Its face is about the size of horse
chestnut. The ring worn on the little
finger of its mother was slipped over its
foot nearly up to the knee.

The President Hesitates.

The president may intend to veto the
seigniorage bill, but it is evident that he
is in no hurry to get at it. We are of
opinion that he will veto the bill, for it
would be wonderful manifestation of
Inconsistency if he didn't. Yet he hes
itates for very good reasons. He may
be likened to an executive whose official
duty requires him to sign death war
rant, or to sheriff upon whom the law
devolves the disagreeable task of spring
ing the trap that hurls soul into eter-
nifty. 1t is a very solemn piece of busi-
ness that Mr.. Cleveland has in hand,
and is fraught with results that will af-
feet American politics long after he has
passed from the stage of action. He is
about to become the executioner of the
party which has twice honored him with
the, presidency-a party that has sur
vived every shock of adversity from the
beginning of the government down to
the present time, and which has always
been the bulwark of popular govern
ment. 1t is a very serious matter to de-
stroy such party as that, and particu-
larly under such circumstances. 1t is
no wonder the president hesitates and
postpones action until the last hour.
Yet he realizes that ifi he does not veto
the bill he will belle all of his past pro-
fessions and will be traitor to the gold
power which bought his nomination.
1t is sad plight for president to be
in, but he is there and will have to-
make the most of it. He's in the position
described by the poet: He will be
damned if he does, and will be damned
if he doesn't" There is condemnation
awaiting him whether he signs or vetoes
the bill. Telegram.

American Footgear.

American workingmen are more
lightly shod on the average than those
of Europe, and nothing excites more
scorn and astonishment in this country
than the heavy boots and shoes
brought over by immigrants. Shoes
thickly studded with hob-nails last
perhaps three times as long as the
lighter footgear, but the American
workingman would feel himself
clogged and hampered by such foot
weights The immigrant quickly
learns that with such a handicap he
cannot compete with the spry Ameri-
can, and he adopts the footwear of the
country perhaps before his heavy inn
ported boots are worn out.
