A United States Officer.
Some Incidents of His Life and HardShps in the Late War
From the Gazette, Midway, Mass.

The thriving town of Midway Mass,
has no more reputable citizen than Capt
John p. L. Grant, the carpenter and
builder. For many months he was a suf-
ferer from wrecked digestion, loss of
memory and the keenest of rheumatic
pains arising from a life of ambitious
labor and arduous exposure as an officer
in the late war and later as u. S. mail
carrier.
A representative of this paper called on
Capt. Grant for his story. He met the
newspaper man cheerily, and in his own
honest, simple language, said:
Il was born in South Berwick, Me-,
Dec. 80, 1884, and when two years old,
moved with my parents to Old York,
Me. When 16 years old I was apprenticed
to a prominent builder, Samuel Colcord,
of Exeter, N. H., to learn the carpenters
trade withe the added privilege Of at
tending Phillips Academy, then as now
famous seat of learning. L graduated
from there and went to Portland, Me-,
where [ served two years with Hon.
VIM. G. Kimball, a noted builder of the
time.
II worked in Newburyport two years
and then established myself in business
in West Amesbury. During this period [
was married at Charlestown. In 1862 1
removed to York where I enlisted in the
u. S. service. l served nearly three
years, participated in forty-three battles,
some of fthem the hottest fights Of the
war, was twice wounded and for a time
disabled, and at last was discharged at
Augusta, Me-, in 1865.
II secured and kept the contract for
carrying the mails between York and
Portsmouth, N. H., for twelve years. I
removed to Midway in March, 1887,
where [ have since resided, in business
and builder. l have raised family Of
ten children, and have now a family Of
six residing with me.
About three years ago I was suddenly
attacked with dizzy spells, protracted in
duration and more frequent as the weeks
went by. With these attacks came in

The Scuppernong.

This is peculiarly a child of the
South, which has hitherto been sadly
neglected. Men are prone to over
look blessings by which they are i'm
mediately surrounded while searching
abroad for those less to be desired but
enchanting in the distance.
The scuppernong is the only variety
of this type usually planted, very few
farmers being aware of the fact that
there are others very much it's supe-
rior.
In 1886 eight varieties were planted
twenty feet apart, in rows, along the
margin of branch, and trained upon
a trellis of three wires. The vines
have been annually pruned by spur
ring back the canes of the growth of
the previous season to six inches.

cessant vomiting and spasms of fcoma so
mat instantly l would fall wherever l
might be and remain so for some time.
Soon 1 was forced to keep in bed, my
digestion was wrecked, my business was
going to pieces and everything looked
very dark. Of course L tried all kinds of
remedies that were recommended, but to
no avail, and [ also went to a medical
institute in Boston, but all my expendi-
ture was fruitless.
FINALLY I secured a box of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and re-
ceived so great relief from them that my
family and myself cold see the direct
benefits
Il kept on with their use and steadily
grew better. The dizzy attacks lessened
and at last left me, the vomiting has en-
tirey ceased and my general health has
not yet stopped it's improvement. My di-
gestion is now good and to no other
agency than to DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People can my cure be ascribed.
81 had since the war, been troubled
greatly with chronic rheumatism. but
this was relieved by taking these pills.
1t is one Of the greatest remedies ever
used by anybody and every member of
my family has the same high opinion of
it that [ do. [ have nothing but earnest,
grateful praise for what it has done for
me-"

This type must be pruned in au-
tumn, just after the leaves fall. If
pruned later there is danger of de-
structive bleeding. This method of
training places the crop of fruit in
easy reach, increases the size of the
berries and punches, and insures a
larger yield of grapes of better quail
ity.
The Thomas commences to ripen
August Is, thus continuing the supply
from the vineyard of the other types.
Other varieties ripen in succession I'M
til the middle of September, and fur
nish fruit till October.
The Memory and Mish are especially
desirable, combining the good quail
ties of vigorous growth, hardness,
productiveness and very superior
quality.
Desiring to secure the verdict OF as
large a jury as possible, very many
visitors were taken through this vine
yard for the purpose OF comparing
the varieties. Without exception the
Memory and Mish were pronounced
superior to the Scuppernong. Of the
ten varieties compared, the Memory
is by far the most vigorous grower.
All are free from disease except ali
occasional very slight attack of black
rot. The proximity of diseased vines
of other types may have furnished the
spores for the disease.
To propagate this type use long cut
tings, taken in October or early i'll
November, or layer the vines at any
time from October to March.

cause great waste in gathering. The

binary open-fre evaportor already on
hand.
This evaporation was about Az feet
long, three feet wide, and about six
inches deep, while the large evapo-
rator had length of about five feet,
a width of about three feet, and a
depth of 10 inches.
The sides of the evaporators were
of wood, as usual, and the bottoms
were constructed of sheet copper, but
no partitions were employed, as in the
ordinary evaporators.
A series of pipes, connected at the
ends by return bends, were placed in
the bottom of each evaporation, almost
the whole surface of the bottom being
thus covered, with the exception of a
space about four or five inches in
width, which was reserved for the col
lection of the scums from the boiling
juice. The piping employed was gal
vanized iron, three-fourths inch inside
diameter, and valves were provided
for the proper regulation of the steam
used in the evaporat ton.
The juice, after sulphuring, is first
run into the small evaporation or clar-
ifer, steam is turned on, and the con-
tents of the clarifer brought to a
brisk boil.
The scums and impurities come to
the surface quite rapidly, the greater
portion of them collecting over the
space not occupied by the pipes,
where they can be easily removed.
The clarifer is somewhat more
elevated than the evaporation, and
when the juice has been we'll skinned
it is at once run into the larger evap-
orator and the steam is Immediately
turned on.
Fresh quantities of juice are now
run into the clarifier, boiled, skinned
and then run into the evaporation, the
evaporation of the juice being con-
Quoted all the while.
Any scums which form in the evap-
orator can be removed in the usual
way and when the syrup has reached
the proper density the steam is shut
off and the evaporation is emptied
through the usual outlet.
By the employment of steam heat,
the temperature and the rate of evap-
orat ton can be regulated with great
eXactness, and a much more thor
ough Qualification and satisfactory
evaportion is secured than 10y the en-
ployment of the ordinary evaporators,
where a large proportion of the scums
are frequently boiled down with the
syrup, darhening it's color and render
ing it's preservation difficult.
Any one who has already at hand a
steam boiler of proper capacity will
find the employment of small steam
evapora tors very satisfactory, and a
much brighter and clearer syrup can
be obtained with little trouble and
small cost. B. B. Ross, Chemist.

SYRACUSE, Dec.9.-Tho Rev.w. F. P. Ferguson,
who for the past week has been recruiting men
for the Cuban Junta in New York. left town to-
night a day earlier than he expected. The rea-
son for his departure is believed to be due to the
fact that his work became public and United
States Marshal Spaulding threatened him with
arrest. Although he claimed to be acting as an
accredited emissary Of the Junta, Mr.. Fergu-
sons connection with that body has been ques,
toned by DR.. Franklyn J. Kaufman, who
claims to be the Juntas sole representative in
this city.
A telegram was sent today to Senior ouesada,
the representative of the Cuban Government at
Washington asking about Fergusop's authority
to enlist soldiers. The reply came back: No,
body Of that name authorized by the Junta.
The fact remains. however, that Ferguson has
placed q dozen or more able. bodied young Syre
cusans in communication with the Junta, and
more than that. has furnished them with trans
portation to New York city. He had big, roll
