Speaking of Yankees" said Col.
Evan Howell, of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, 81 recall, just as the war was
breaking out, speech Ben Hill made
up my way. 1t was a war meeting,
and you should have heard Hill talk
l remember distinctly how he exhorted
us to enlist.
THE Yankees, he said, are good
people, but they are deficient in manly
accomplishments. They can't shoot,
they can't ride horse; they have
been in trade all their lives, and it
has Slapped them and left them without
that stark manhood and high courage
which to-day, all unframed though he
be, makes every Southern man as good
a soldier as ever marched upon a bat
tle-field
1t does not present a case of num-
bers, this pending strife between the
North and South. The Northern man
is by education, and by nature, too,
incapable of war He can't shoot
Then" continued Colonel Howell,
chill called on us all to enlist, which
we did very generally. It wasn't six
weeks before we were in fight, and
met the Yankees Hill had been talking
about. There was an hour in that
fight which furnished the hottest mus
kerry fire ever was introduced to.
I'VE were in a bunch of trees, and
the lead was peeling the bark in big
scales and blotches, and with patter
like hail. 1t got so thick that all
man of any sense tried to do was to
stand behind his tree.

behind your sapling. Stick it out and
they'd wipe it with dozen bullets. l

sized oak, and wasn't looking out or
trying any experiments.
"a couple of rods from me was fell
low named Dismucks, also behind
tree. Dismucks couldn't look out any
more than l could, and there he stood,
mad as a hornet. Finally he looked
over at me.
Howell he yelled, while the bull

tiers, Howell do you recollect what

to say Is they've learned mighty fast'

himself for a season of trial by COM
monplace acts Of everyday faithful-
ness. In the hardest days of Lieuten-
ant Greely's disastrous Arctic expedi-
ton one greatly desired object was to
recover a hundred and fifty pounds of
English meat cached at Cape Isabella,
twenty-five miles from the camp.
After one unsuccessful effort had been
made to obtain it, second, still more
brave and sad, was put forth by Ser-
geant Rice and Private Frederick
Risking their lives at almost every
step of the way, says Scribner's Maya
zine, they at last reached the place.
only to find, after hours of searching
among the foes, that their triumph
was a barren one; the English meat
had rifted from the shore. There was
nothing to do but to go creeping back
to camp, II they could get there; but
Rice, having wet and frozen his feet,
was spent, and could not walk step.
He begged Frederick to go and leave
him to die, but his comrade refused.
Instead drawing the sledge close un-
der the edge Of hoe-herg, he placed
Rice upon it, wrapped his frozen feet
in the fur-lined Jacket taken from his
own back, and then sat and held the
unhappy man until his pain was re-
lieved by death. Frederick was
minded to die there, too. What use
in returning to Starvation Point with
his story of disappointment? But
fearing that the others would plan
rescue and end their lives in misery,
he resolved to go back. The daunt-
less fellow only got to Camp Eskimo,
no one can tell how Here they had
left their sleeping bag, expecting to re-
turn to 1t the same day they parted
from it, as they would have done had
the meat been found, and had Rice not
failed. After refreshing himself with
bread and tea, Frederick crawled into
the bag and slept On awaking much
stronger, he was smitten with remorse
that he had made no effort to bury
poor Rice, and so the indomitable man
pushed back all that awful way, and
gave the frozen corpse Of his loving
comrade such burial as he could. He
then made the best of his slow and
painful Journey hack to Greely's
camp. Gnawing hunger tempted him
to eat Rice's rations, a deed for which
no one could have blamed him, but
he refused. He would use what was
his own. but he would not rob the liv-
ing or the dead. He reached the camp
scarcely alive, hauling the sledge with
Rice's dole of crumbs upon it, to tell
how costly and how bootless his mis-
sion had been.

A FireDroOf Tree.

In government report from Colon
bia appears the description of tree,
known as the chaparro, which pos
seeses the property of being fireproof.
1t grows on the vast plains of Colon
bia and the north of South America
called Savannas, extensive districts
which are parched with heat except
during the rainy season. 1t has long
been the custom to clear the ground
for the new vegetation which springs
up so luxuriantly on these plains after
the rainy season by means of fire; and
such fires, miles in extent, kindled by
the herdsmen, destroy everything in
the shape of vegetation, except the
chaparro tree, which survives to afford
a welcome shade in an almost treeless
region. 1t is a small tree, seldom
growing to more than twenty feet in
height, with girth of about three feet,
and 1t owes its protection from fire to
the nature of its hard, thick bark.
The bark lies on the trunk in loose
layers, which do not readily conduct
heat to the more delicate parts of the
structure. 1t is a general idea among
the natives that this tree grows only
where gold is abundant in the soil be-
low. That 1t is common in auriferous
districts is indisputable, but there is
no ground for supposing that it does
not grow elsewhere.

Extraordinary Mania for Clocks.
About ten years ago a man named
Menager died in New York, who was
known as the o'clock miser." The de-
tails of his life were told in the daily
papers. When a young man he be-
came the junior partner in a manufac-
turing firm, and threw into his work
such energy and intelligence that ca
reer opened before him both useful and
successful. 1t was necessary that he
should be punctual each morning at his
ONCE, and for this reason he bought a
Swiss clock and placed it opposite to
his bed. Doubling its correctness he
bought another of German make, and
concerned himself to keep the two run
ming exactly together. He grew inter-
ested in their mechanism, studied their
points of difference, and began to buy
from time to time other clocks. He
had ceased now to care for clocks for
their real use, and valued them as curl
osities and articles of property. The
within grew upon him as the years
passed. He was learned in the history
and in all the peculiarities of the diff
ferent time-pieces that he possessed;
his accumulation increased until he
had specimens from almost every
Clock-making nation. So keen was his
zeal in this pursuit that he grew in
different to every other object in life,
dropped his friends. and at last lived
in large dingy house, with only an
old servant and the ticking multitude
of clocks, that seemed increasingly to
strike the funeral knell of his wasted
years. Interest in man or woman he
had none, but spent his time among his
treasures, winding them and talking
to them, as if they were live creatures.
He died at last. In his house were
found over four hundred clocks.

It is asserted by the defenders OF
trusts" that in almost every instance
the formation of trust has been fol-
lowed by a decrease in the price of the
product. This is true; but u most in
stances trusts have been formed to
check the downward tendency of priceB
by interfering with the operation of the
law Of supply and demand. Probably
there is no conspicuous instance of
lower prices following the organize
ton Of trust, in which the prices to
the consumer would not have fallen
still lower If the trust had not been
formed. The greatest objection 70
trusts is that they are wrong in prin-
ciple. in that they interfere with q
fundamental law of trade.
