ried all through the war; 'the man that owned it paid visit here recently, and he told me it's interesting history. The horn was presented to him by d famous old hunter whom he had never seen-he simply fell heir to it through the will of the man bequeathing it to the greatest hunter in the neighborhood next to himself It gave the first blast for secession i'll Charleston. It has been the means for a number of years of win ming for it's owner $500 to his income. This good fortune came to him through the exchange of courtesies with a wealthy northerner of his neighborhood, to whom he loans the horn for hunting, and in return the northern gentleman transaets all his business through the old soldiers postoffice, which i'll some way assists his revenue. Over there is the fiddle which the same old man car ried through the war, and which be- tween the hours of carnage eheered many a lagging and homesiek spirit.
 Just here the owner of the Georgia barbecue, an old soldier who served un- der General Kirby Smith, carried his pretty daughter off for dinner. And so Twas left to investigate the pathetic se- crets of this sacred little place alone. Not alone, but at least without this pretty human guidebook of information.
 I tell you the old things there will make anybody's heart ache, be they from north, south, east or west. There is the cradle ill W hich Jeff Davis was rocked, there the swords of Stonewall Jackson and Robert Lee. There is an old spinning wheel, one of the few things left of Sherman's bonfire of At lanta, and the saddle from which Gen. eral Paul Simmes fell, wounded to tho heart, in the battle of Gettysburg
 In the midst of all these signs and symbols of sorrow now and then there is q lighter note.

A PROPHETIC WELL.
MT. Wheat Says It Always Warns Him of
 a Coming storm.

I have been able to forecast the weather during the past season from 12 to 24 hours in advance very accurately, by means of well which l put down two years since and which has proved phenomenal i'll this respect.
 The well is on a hill overlooking the surrounding country, known as the Wheat hill, is so feet deep, 20 feet sand, 40 feet solid blue clay, 20 feet quick sand and ground, has good supply of water, not effected by the dry weather of this season. SternlS are indicated i'll advance by a discoloraSion of the water, it having the appearance of milk being dropped in it and being quite agitated i'll appearance when pumped from the we'll This condition of the water usually continues but short time, gen. orally becoming clear before the storm commences. With an approaching storm these conditions of the water are more or less extreme as the storm will be more or less severe.
 As to it's reliability ana accuracy as a weather forecaster for western New York, consider it correct from observa- tions of the past summer and fall. While the weather bureau and all of our weather prophets have made mistakes on account of unexpected counter winds and highs and lows, the we'll has made no mistakes. For example, on the 16th of August last the weather bureau gave no warning of storm. Mir. Parker stated that no rain was in sight and could look for continued dry weather, but the we'll gave the strongest indications of storm of any time this summer. On Satur- day, the 17th, in the afternoon and evening there was a terrific electric and rain storm, which swept Wayne and Ontario counties.
 Many other similar instances could be mentioned, but it is unnecessary. 1hope this matter may attract the attention of some of our scientific men who are en- gagged in Investigating natures secrets, for I believe careful investigation and study of the action of this we'll in con- nection with the weather will prove of value. ". B. Wheat, Orleans, N. Y, in Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

3lrcamsGantlal details of ono alleged cure are, however. reported in seyeSol Texas and other southern newspapers. It is affirmed that John James of Ava rado, Tex, chairman of the Johnson county free silver Democratic executive committee, returned recently from Den. yer, where he had been completely heal ed of partial blindness by Schlatter
 According to these reports. James haa been almost blind for oyer 30 years from acute granulation of the eyelids, and for several years had been unable to read. He heard of Schlatter and went to Denver to see him. He took his place in the line and shook hands with Sehlatter and was treated by him, and declares that straightway his affliction began to leave him and his eyesight to improve. In few days he could see as well as before the disease affected his eyes and says that to prove this he went to the office of the Denver News and read column of matter set ill solid agate type. When seen few days ago. MT. James declared that the cure of his blindness was due entirely to Schlat- ter's influence. Among those who have seen and investigated Mr. James story is a correspondent of the New Orleans Times Democrat, who was apparently convinced of the truth of the man s story and the genuineness of the cure.

To properly fill its Office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood be
pure. When it is in such condition
the body is almost certain to be healthy.
A complaint at this time is catarrh IN
its various forms. A slight cold deyel-
ops the disease in the head. Droppings
of corruption passing into the lungs
bring on consumption. The only way
to cure this disease is to purify the blood.
The most obstinate cases Of catarrh yield
to the medicinal powers of Hoods Sars-
aparilla as if by magic, simply because
it reaches the seat of the disease, and by
purifying and vitalizing the blood, re-
moves the cause. Not only does Hoods
Sarsaparilla do this but it gives renewed
vigor to the whole system, making it
possible for good health to reign SUI
preme.

The only Gorton'. Minltrels.

The crowded audience which filed the
Opera House last night to 0yertlowing
with one accord voted the "Gorton Min
strels' one of the best troups that had
ever visited Annapolis. From start to
finish the vast assemblage was kept IN
good humor. The ''circle" was excep-
tionally fine, tile singing of high order,
and the gags free from that chestnut
ty flavor so tiresome to the average thea
tre-goer. Each performer seemed to lie
an artist in his particular line, and all
acquitted themselves creditably. From
Annapolis they go to Easton, whose citi-
zens NAV depend upon witnessing first
class minstrel performance. The Cor
ton Minstrel's brass band, which parad-
ed the streets yesterday, furnished excel
lent music and attracted considerable
attention. This minstTels should draw
wherever it goes.
