phenomenal mezzo, of wonderful range and
volume, and musical critics have predicted
a great career for her, while Miss Alice
Pillsbury, first contralto, would charm any

contrato, and does admirably the work as

rection of Miss Wilson these young ladies
being her pupls) and they will be assisted
by her in this concert. Miss Wilson is not
only one of the leading teachers in Wash
ington, but ranks as one of the best in this
country, having received thorough educa-
ton in the art of vocal music, and finishing
| her studies abroad under the renowned
William Shakespeare, who is conceded To

The judgment of the Circuit Court for
this county in favor of the State ~ affirmed
in the case of John Jenkins, who was sen
fenced to five years in the penitentiary for
assault with intent to kill. AT the trial tive
bills OF exception to the rulings OF the court
were taken upon the admissibiity OF testi
mony, which form the basis OF this appeal
In the first bill it was stated that the traver
ser, after having proved that Smith, the party
upon whom the assault was made, was u
dangerous man and had been convicted on
several occasions of various offenses, asked
him ON cross examination "if he had not
within the last year leveled his gun ON Mr.
VIM. Barlow Vincent with the intention OF
shooting him." Offering at the same time to
follow it up by showing that the traverser
at the time of the shooting had knowledge
of Smiths act. This proposed testimony"
says Judge Briscoe, who wrote the opinion,
twas entirely irrelevant aud properly ex-
cluded by the court. The witness was not
bound to answer the question because the
answer manifestly tended to criminate
himself 1t is clear also that the evidence
offered in the second bill of exception was in
admissible. There is no evidence to show
that the traverser acted IN sell defense when
he made the assault. He had the benefit OF
all the evidence he was legally entitled to,
and there being no error in the rulings OF
the court, they will be affirmed"

FARM AND GARDEN.
ABOUT SWEET GLOVER.
Noxious Weed in the North, Useful Forage
Plant in the South.

NCxious Weed In the North, Useful Forage
Plant in the South.
In a recent bulletin Prof. Golf de-
scribes sweet clover as noxious weed.
1t is extremely common in many north
ern states, abounding in waste places,
along roadsides and to some extent in
fields. 1t is large and tall, resembling
alfalfa somewhat, although much
coarser. The leaves are large and sue
culent. 1t is extremely fragrant when
in bloom and is an excellent honey
plant.
In most of the west and central west
as well as in The northern states it is
regarded as nuisance, but Prof. Tracy
finds that it is valuable for reclaiming
waste land, as it grows not only upon
rich soil, but thrives on the poorest
kind of land. The large roots contain
vast number of tubercles which aid
largely in enriching the soil. Prof.
Golf says: THE decay of all the large
roots not only supplies plant food but
aids in draining the land by forming
numerous narrow passages through
which the soil water finds an outlet"
In the south, however, this clover is
regarded as a useful forage plant. AL
though not eaten by cattle at first,
they soon learn to relish it. If cut
early it is there regarded as valuable
| as cowpea, red clover or Japan clover
hay. Its great value there, however,
consists in it's power to renovate the
soil, doing for the south in this line
what red clover does for the north.
Prof. Golf, however, states that, adj
q IL
sweet clover is coarse, homely plant,
| and where permitted to grow it's tall
| flower stalk is certainly offensive to
the eye, and the annoyance it causes
| would warrant it's destruction. 1t
| should not be allowed to bloom or ma
| ture seed. This plant is easily got rid
| of in cultivated fields, single year
being sufficient to remove it if the
| work is carefully done.-Prof. l.. Il.
Pammel, Iowa Agricultural College.

4 New story on Grant.

When Gen. Grant was in Japan th.
emperor invited the general to eros,
the imperial footbridge near the
palace OF Toxic, across which none but
blood royal had ever trod. Gen. Grant
accepted the invitation and walked
across beside the mikado, until they
reached the center of the bridge
Then he stopped, profoundly saluted
the emperor, and said:
Your majesty, have come so far to
show you that was not insensible to
the honor you would do me, but l can
not violate your traditions. Let us re-
turn the way we came"
The perfect tact and courtesy of
Gen. Grant on this occasion is very
gratefully remembered by the nation
which has the just distinction of being
called the most polite people on earth.
Americans visiting Japan are held in
high favor, and ere always treated
with the grentest consideration. On
the other hand, they greatly dislike
the English They are brutes and bull
dogs.-Detroit Tribune.

on the flank of his army, old Jim's
coat was daily stained by the red mud
from the hills of Georgia. Crossing
into South Carolina, he bagged through
the swamps of the low country and
bore his rider gallantly in the fight at
Great Saltcatcher, in Barnwell county,
in South Carolina. From that point,
accompanying Pigue's command, un-
der Gen. Wheeler, he brought his
master, Lieut.. Mcmahon, of East Ten
nessee, on the left flank of the invad-
ing army, to Aiken.
When Shcrman's army, pfssing
through Barnwell county, reached the
line of the South Carolina railway,
Gen. Fitzpatrick, with his cavalry, made
n bold dash westward for the purpose
OF destroying the cotton mills at Gran
iteville. five miles west of Aiken, and
possibly the confederate powder mills
in Augusta, Ga, thirteen miles further
west of Graniteville. At Aiken they
met with the forces of Gen. Wheeler
and were repulsed after sharp ssir-
mish. and retired to the main body of
the army. This fight determined the
future fate of old Jim.
his rider, Lieut.. mcmahon, charged
with him down a road, now South
Boundary avenue, right in front of the
house of Mr.. Williams. They had
hardly passed the front door when both
horse and rider fell, the rider with 4
mortal wound in the breast and old
Jim with ball in his neck.
Lieut.. Mcmahon was taken into the
house of Mr. Williams, where he died
in the dining-room few hours later.
The stain of his life-5lood is still on
the pine floor. Jim was condemned as
worthless and ordered to be shot. but
Mr. Williams begged for his life and
nursed him back again to health and
| usefulness. From that day to this the
old horse has never known a sick day,
and the indications are that he will
yet be able to show for several years
! the scars of battle and the brand sc
S." upon his shoulders.
Judges of horsehesh pronounced linn
seven years old when he fell into the
hands of his present master, which
makes him now thirty-six years old

into the river bed, overfiowed the
slight banks, and in one big wave
went swooping down the valley.
Then the three comrades were in
their glory. They jumped abont in
the mud. yelling like madmen, laugh
ing, hallooing and screaming as they
went after the wriggllng and aston
ished fish.
1t was near nightfall before the dam
burst, and by that time the three
Ohioan musketeers had loaded them
selves up with the fresh provisions
which were still wriggling as if afraid
of the camp fires they could almost
smell-larkness came over the camp
in the valley. They hurried back t,
Company with their precious load,
and as the three figures were lost in
the gloom toward camp IN aide on
horseback galloped up to the pond.
He saw the burned and charred dam,
still wet from the outrushing tide, and
with n soldiers intuition knew that
some reckless GUNNER from the
camp had been there, guessed the OBJ
ject of the wrecking of the dam, and
hurried back to report.
Meantime there was confusion,
dampness aud profanity at healquar-
ters. The tide let loose by Private
Grim and his comrades had swept the
meadow where Shermans tent was
pitched and had played havoc with the
quarters of the general and his staff
When the aide made his report order
lies were sent through the various
regiments to arrest any soldier caught
with fish in his possession. The camp
of the One Hundred and Fifth was
smelling like restaurant. for over
4, every fire there was a fry of fish, but
as an orderly would come up the men
who were cooking fish in the lids OF

A SOUTHERN WAR-HoRsE.
An Equine Veteran of tho Confederat,
Army.

An Equine Veteran of tho Confederate
Army.
Many of the annual visitors to Aiken
have seen or heard of "old JIM" an
old gray horse, better known to some
as Wheeler. This old horse is owned
by Mr.. w. T. Williams, of Aiken. Old
Jim is fourteen and half hands high
and weighs nine hundred pounds when
in good health.
For thirty years he has done service
on the plantation of Mr.. Williams, his
work being gradually lightened as in
firmities have crept upon him. AT the
present time he has the run of the
pasture and enjoys a well-earned rest
For ten years after the war he fol-
lowed tue fox hounds each winter.
Old Jim came from the mountains of
East Tennessee, and took part in the
battle of Atlanta. Falling back be-
fore Sherman's advance, or hanging
