The history of the janizaries from
their origin, training and character is
full Of exciting adventures, says Good
Words. Like the famous band OF SOL
diers formed about the same time OF
the free mountaineers of Switzerland,
this infantry of the east composed OF
Christian slaves proved invincible
wherever their arms were directed.
They boosted, and not without a very
large measure of truth, that they never
turned their backs upon the foe, and
they passed from victory to victory
with fiery valor which never seemed
to be extinguished. They were called
1.-The nerve and sinew" of the Ottoman
army, and they had more to do than
all other forces put together in the ex-
tension Of the Turkish sway and IN
times of peril in the salvation OF the
empire.
The janizaries were reserved for the
most desperate actions. for the last at
tack in the field, after the ordinary
cavalry and infantry had done their
utmost, and for the charge Of the for
lorn hope when the intrenchments
were carried and the walls Of the be-
sieged were scaled. There was one
corps among them retained for any
work that was more perilous than
usual. They were known by the name
of dial kilitz, or warriors OF the
sword" because they threw away their
scabbards in token Of their resolution
to conquer or die.

Honesty is the best policy'-so

hardly creditable to anyone, but
still, as it is better to be honest, II we
can only make men honest as a mat

do nothing in that direction. 1t is not
many years since the United States was
a very much larger factor in the Euro
pean trade in dairy products than is the
case to-day. The demand for our goods
was almost unlimited. To-day our
trade there is a mere ghost of its
former greatness. and it will hardly
ever again reach the old high water
mark. We have lost the trade by dis
honesty. We have labored with zest
that is seldom eQualed in honest trade,
to sell filled cheese for a genuine arti-
Gle and hog-but.er for it's model, the
genuine product of the dairy 1t is
hardly fair to use the word I'VE" in
this matter. Nine-tenths CT all this
rascality and rottenness came from H.
linois, that home of hog-butter and
filled cheese. and it is there to-day that
the apologists for the frauds are found
in greatest abundance. The blot is
one which should be wiped out. Filled
cheese has received its quietus-hog-
butter needs the same legal status in
Illinois and some other states that il
has in New York and some of our
neighbors. When these two swindles
are SO handicapped that their profitable
manufacture will be impossible, oul
trade abroad may be restored to Vi
and the consumption of genuine prod
ucts st home be largely increased.

Grant left West Point in midsum-

the officers OF the militia to drill the
troops at general muster" which took
place at Russelsville during August of

light gray. He wore cap. and q red
sash around his waist. and he rode his
horse in fine style.

How a Peach Was Named.

Gen. Lloyd Tilghman in appearance
was tall and as straight as an Indian.
He was handsome, and graceful and
was a noble-looking commander. He
was an old West Pointer. and very fond
OF fine dress and display, SO much so
that the soldiers would remark, when
they saw him coming: "Yonder comes
the peacock" However, he was as
brave as lion in action, a good pro-
wider for his troops and strict discip-
linarian. He sometimes would forget
that he was In command, not of regu-
lars but of volunteer troops. An in
stance: 1t was ut Fort Donelson. wher
one day he rode over from Dover. his
headquarters, on business with Col.
Head, unattended by any Of his staff.
Our company being in winter quarters
(log huts) and mostly OF duty, were
gathered around log fire at the end OF
the street. As he dismounted he held
out the reins to the nearest soldier
and In pompous manner said: Hold
my horse" The soldier the late Polk
G. Johnston, of GAINESVILLE. TENN, re-
piled: AFTER the way you command 1t.
I would see you in hades first" The
general looked dumbfounded. but po-
litely asked another man to do SO, who
willingly held the horse. The general
went up to our coloners cabin, and
they sent for Polk. When asked why
he spoke in such a manner to his COM
manding general he answered that he
did not enlist in the army to hold
horses or In any other way to play the
lackcy for any officer. but II he had
been requested politely he would have
willingly accommodated him. The gen.
eral, learning who Polk was. and
knowing the impression his lordly ways
made upon the men. told him that he
meant no offense. He proffered the po-
sition OF orderly on his staff to him,
but 1t was politely declined.
Down in the state of Mississippi they
have a large and delicious peach
, known as the Tilghman variety. The
history Of this fruit is quite interest
ing:
At the battle OF Bakers creek, OF
| Champion Hill, Miss. General Lloyd
| Tilghman was killed by a cannon shot
| He was tenderly lifted and laid unde!
| a peach tree by some OF his men. His
| blood ebbed out and formed a poo
around its roots. This tree was one .ol
the white Heath" species, and was
| on that day, May l6, 1868, full of young
peaches. 1t was prolific bearer, and
each year previously its crop had beer
selected for preserving, as the fruit
was SO large and white. Late that sum
mer when gathered, the meat of thu
| peaches was blood red, and each sue
ceeding crop was ever after Of tn,

and the fame of the "Tilghman peach

luscious. He received letter the 9th

The Pert Chicken.

There was once a pretty chicken,
But his friends were very few,
For he thought that there was nothing
In the world but what he knew.
So he always in the farmyard
Had a very forward way,
Telling all the hens and turkeys
What they ought to do or say.
Mrs. Goose" he said, Il wonder
That your goslings you should let
Go out padding in the water.
1t will kill them to get wet"
II wish, my old Aunt Dorking."
He began to her one day,
THAT you wouldn't sit all summer
In your nest upon the hay.
Won't you come into the meadow,
Where the grass with seeds is filled!'
IF should" said Mrs. Dorking.
"Then my eggs would all get chilled.
"No they won't" replied the chicken.
And no matter IL they do,
Eggs are really good for nothing.
What's an egg to me or you"
whats an egg?" said Mrs. Dorking;
Can it be you do not know.
You yourself were in an eggshell
But little month ago
And il kind wings had not warmed you,
You would not be out today,
Telling hens and geese and turkeys
What they ought to do and say.
To be very wise and shrewd
Is pleasant thing no doubt,
But when young folks talk to old ones
They should know what they're
about" Selected.

Peaceful-but how cold and stern!
Thou hast joined that silent NUMBER
In the land whence none return.
Warrior rest: thy banner Ger tnee
Hangs in many dropping fold;
Many manly cheek before thee
Stained with tear-drops we behold.
Thine was not hand to falter,
When thy sword should leave Its

Thine was not a cheek to alter,
Though thy duty led to death.
Warrior, rest: dirge is knelling
Solemnly from shore to shore;

That patriot is no more.

striven,
Firm and bold, didst foremost stand;
Freely was thy life blood given
For thy home and fatherland.
Warrior, rest: our star is vanished
That to victory led the way,
And from one lone hearth Is banished
All that cheered life's weary day;
There thy young bride weeps in sor-
row
That no more she hears thy tread
That tho night which knows no NOR
row
Darkly wells thy laureled head.

For thy last. long earthly sleep:
| Oh. beneath yon verdant willow
Storms unheard will DER thee sweep.

thee
Softly down thy head we lay:

From the dust to endless day!
