A letter from Richmond says: A
sensational scene occurred in the
armory of the Blues Battalion Tuesday
night, shortly after the companies
were mustered into the volunteer SER
vice. and AMI equally IS great sensa-
ton was caused on the streets yesterday
morning, when the facts, which leaked
out, bscame public. The original com.
pauy of this battalion is one ofthe oldest
infantry organizations of the United
States, and, with their brilliant uni
forms, they have made brave show in
every civic parade of Richmond for a
hundred years. Major Sol. Cutchins,
commander of the battalion, did not
enlist when the call for troops came.
The men, after weeks of FESTIVE silence,
held meetings and offered their services.
They were enlisted as companies, and
Major Cutchins was left without COM
mand.
Tuesday night, when the two com
panies were mustered in. Major Clutch
ms addressed them, and offered reso-
luton that new Blues Battalion be
formed for home service, with himself
as major. The proposition was met
with Kisses and Ieers, and he was
roundly cursed by the men in ranks,
who had before obeyed to the letter.
He was told that the men of the Blues
would protect it's reputation in arms,
and that when they returned, after
peace was declared, their commander
would be man of their own selection.
Major Cutchins stood and wept.
Every effort was made to keep the cpl
sode secret, but it spread to-day, and
is the talk of the city. The action Of
the men is commended, and the officer
receives little sympathy.

As THE war is on, the best thing TO be
done, for everybody at ali interested in
it, would, of course, be to bring it
to close as soon as possible.
Therefore, the Presidents call for sew
enty-fve thousand more troops to pros
ecute it, is approved by all the reason
able people of the country. The num-
Der of troops thus provided for the war
exceeds, by $4,000, quarter of mil

even by the loudest mouthed warriors
bold that the necessity for such an i'm
mense force with which to preserve or
der in the island of Cuba, at least indi-
Gates that the comparatively small
number of troops with which the Spain
tried to effect that object, are not as
much to blame as some ill-informed

IT SEEMS that other Southern States
besides North Carolina have not as yet
supplied their full quotas of troops
for the Spanish war. That all will do
so eventually is undoubted, but
that they should be in no particular
hurry about it, is just as plain. The
horror of the last war IN which the
people of the South were engaged has
not yet been eflaced from their
memories, and does not inspire them
with enthusiasm for another one. and
especially one for the sake of f6reien
people in whom they are not interested.

Mans Strongest Age.

In common with all organs of the
body, the muscles have their stages
Of development and decline. Tests
made by the dynamometer strength
measurer) give averages in the Can-
casian race as follows: The "lifting
power" Of a youth Of II years is $50
pounds; in his twentieth year this in
creases to 800 pounds, and in the thir-
tieth and thirty-frst years itreaches
its height, 356 pounds. At the end Of
the thirt ty-frst year the strength be-
gins to decline, very slowly at first.
By the fourth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate
until the fftieth year is reached, when
the figure is $40 pounds. After this
period the strength fails more and
more rapidly until the weakness Of
old age is reached. It is not possible
to give statistics Of the decline Of
strength after the fiftieth year, as i

TRUE TO HIS FIRST LOVE.
She could Not Marry Him, But He
Kept Her Image Ever
Before Him.

The heroine of this tale, who was
young some 20 years or more ago, was
the daughter of a wealthy man, who
desired her, true story-book fashion,
to make brilliant marriage. The
daughter, equally in story-book fash
ion, had given her heart to a poor
but worthy young man, and the
father refused to give his consent to
their union. The daughter would not
marry the man against her fathers
will, but promised her lover that she
would at least marry no one else.
Time passed, and at intervals the
young man renewed his suit, but al
ways received the same answer; the
girl loved him, but she would not mar
ry without her fathers consent and
leave him alone.
In the meantime the man had gone
to Canada and made some money. He
was still faithful to his old love, and
after acquiring considerable fortune
he returned yet again tc urge his lady
love to 60 back with him, but without
avail. Finally there came last ap-
peal. He wrote that he was growing
old; he felt that he needed a home.
He declared his love again, but said
that if his old sweetheart would not
marry him now he must marry anoth-
er woman. Again he was refused and
this time he married.
By correspondence the wife and the
old love were made acquainted, and
became on paper very good friends.
Then the woman in America felt de-
sire to visit her one-time lover and
made the trip to Canada, and was
warmly welcomed. The house was
attractive and rything about twas
pleasant, but what was the surprise
Of the visitor to see hanging in cons

BUILDING UP A HERD
How 1T Was Done, and Most Success.
fully, Too, by q. Dairyman
In Ireland.

An instructive illustration of the
manner in which the milk and butter
yielding capacities Of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection il.
afforded by SOME details recently given
publicity to in connection with pram-
inent herd ON the other side of the
channel. About u dozen years ago the
milk of all the cows comprised in this
herd-over 60 in mum mber-was careful
ly analysed. Nine of the cows were
found to be yielding milk showing over
S per cent of butter fat, q were
yielding over AZ per cent, IA were
yielding over per cent. and g were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward calves were only kept
off the cows which yielded milk show
ing oven ~ per cent. of butter fat.
and the tribes of the others were grad
ually weeded out. By the aid of a
regularly kept milk record the prod
uct of every cow is known, and none
is kept for any. length of time which
does not yield over 600 gallons per an
mum. By combining what is learned
from the analysis and the milking rec
ord and only kee eping calves from cows
whose produce is up to the standard,
alike in quantity and quality, the
milking properties of the cows have
been so improved that at present over
60 per cent. of its members are Weld
ing milk showing over per cent. and
Is per cent. are yielding milk showing
over ~ per cent. of butter fat. This
result has only been attained by the
exercise Of great care and scrupulous
attention in the selection of bulls and
no sire is used without every inquiry
being made as to the milking records
of his female ancestry. Dublin Gre

LEFT HIM ON THE FIELD.

And caught that mother eye.

Beneath the tropic sun, s.,
And mary a gallant boy lay there
Before the day was done.
We rushed their trenches, one by one.
While bullets came like hail;
Full many brave lad bit the dust;
But never one did quail.
'Gainst Spanish blood and Spanish guile
Our hands and hearts were steeled-
Your boy did ali a hero could

Where battling foemen reeled.
He died a young American
We left him on the field"
The mother turned to leave the spot,
With sobs that shook her frame.
The glory of her country's flag
To her was but name.
While people cheered the marching troops
She stood with dropping head.
She could not think, she could not speak
Her boy-her boy-was dead!
She slowly raised her face to Heaven
And silently appealed
While through her brain still rang the
words:
I'VE left him on the field.'

ORCHARD. AND GARDEN.

Vigorous, thrifty, but low, stout trees
are preferable to tall, slender ones for
transplanting.
The time of planting is not so impor-
tant as to heve the right varieties prop
erly transplanted.
Examine newly-set trees and see that
the lands left on them are not so tight
| as to injure the trees.
In the fall is a good time to set out
rhubarb and asparagus plants. Every
garden should have good bed.
If there is too much top, the tree
overbears, the tree is small and de-
fective and the crop difficult to gather.
Pears to do their best must be fed and
the soil well drained, strong and reten-
tive. Locality should determine the va
riety.
Peach stocks, which continue to grow
freely may be budded as long as the
bark peels freely for the insertion of the
buds. r.
A good mulch keeps down weeds and
renders the soil loose and moist at all
times, and lessons the labor of cultiva-
ton.
While old trees are often made more
fruitful by severe pruning, young,
thrifty trees are often injured by the
same treatment.
Prune out all the useless shoots in
young fruit trees the growth of which
is about completed. No injurious check
will be given the trees.
All wood that is more than two years
old should be cut out from the currants
and gooseberries. They will produce
more fruit if the vines are lot so large.
In sending fruit of good quality to
market sort carefully and put it up in
neat, attractive packages and in such
shape that it will arrive in good con-
dition.
