freely sneered and TESTED at the "antiquated
tubs of our navy; but as of yore and now,
the men behind the guns were more than
ships or arms.
Five stone-walled forts, the chief one in
size and the strongest perched like a fall
con on a pinnacle, were to be taken; but the
Monocacy's 11-inch shells, the valor of our
marines and the splendid craftsmanship of
our Dahlgren batteries on land. gave Schley
and the sailors little to do the first day.
Then night, camp, a morning march in
the intense moist heat Of Sunday, June II,
1871. At noon, a little band of $50 Ameri-
cans confronted the eyrie-fort, whose para
pets were splitting fire at them across a ra-
vine eighty feet deep. All around were
masses Of Infatuated Koreans ready to rush
to overwhelm our men. Could our Dahl
green's and outposts keep the enemy back ?
Even If they could where were the goats to
climb or the birds to fly? Could ordinary
men rush down the slope and up the crags
when already fainting in the heat?
Nevertheless, Schley posted his little
forces wisely and then gave the signal.
Down into the gorge and then up the dizzy
nights our marines and sailors rushed,
leaped, climbed, holding their fire till
within the breach made by the Monocacy's
shells. Then match locks were dropped, and
the men who had looked into the tigers
! swapping eyes seized the spear. Even with
stones they faced Plymouth and Springfield
rifles. One stalwart hunter speared to death
Lieutenant Mckee, and then rushed al
Schley. The lunge was made, but the steel
passed between arm and body and saved the
hero for Cervera. Schley landed his forces
safely on the decks again, after FIVE forts
had been destroyed as fully as shell, sword
shovel. fire and sledge could do the work
At the next opportunity, under Shufeldt
the Koreans made a treaty of peace. Fol
a second time the United States led a her
NIT nation into the worlds brotherhood.

The Staying Of the negro rail-
road man at Nicholson Station Sun
day afternoon is traced to a hot
temper. Charles Atkins, the VIC
tim, bore quite good reputation
when sober, but Sunday he was
somewhat intoxicated, and while
playing dice in front of Alex
Montgomery's place, grew very
ugly. Jess Stockstill, young
white man, was ordered away from
the place where the gambling was
going on by Atkins. Stockstill
refused and this brought on words.
The negro made 4 movement as II
to draw a pistol, and Stockstill
quickly brought his pistol into
play. Two shots struck Atkins in
the body, one passing through the
upper part of the left lung and the
other entering beneath the dia-
phragm on the same side, cutting
the entrals. Either wonld have
caused death. Coroner Pigott and
Deputy Ross Strobe went to the
scene Sunday night and tried to
arrest the slayer, but Stockstill
crossed East Pearl River and
reached the State of Mississippi.
The deputy went over and endeav-
ored to coax the young man into
Louisiana. Stockstill knew that
he could not be molested without
the necessary warrant and requl'
sion. and stated that he preferred
Mississippi. DR.. Pigott held the
autopsy and rendered verdict ii
accordance with the facts.
Deputy r. Strobe secured hi:
prisoner Thursday and brough'
him to Covington.

Vaudeville.

June %, 1898.
Editor st. Tammany FARMER:
The assistance of the FARMER Is
solicited in a very worthy cause on
foot in this neighborhood at this
time. About a year ago the Band
of Kings Daughters, of this place,
conceived the idea of establishing
a public library for the village.
Besides a small nucleus of books,
l5O Volumes there is nest-egg
of cash on hand. A lot of land
has been donated by a generous
lady, which 1t is proposed to raise
money enough to erect a suitable
building on. Mrs. T. Gacbet, as
sisted by number of the most ac-
tive and public spirited ladies of
Vaudeville, is the moving, spiribof
this laudable enterprise. About
the middle of July an entertain
ment will be given to raise funds
for this worthy purpose. A Fam
tastie Drill, composed of eighteen
young ladies, will be one of the
attractive features OF the affair.
REGULATIONS, vocal and instrumental
music and grand chop as the
final attraction. Mrs. Whitman and
other vocallsts of repute have kind
ly consented to sing on the occa-
sion, and the undertaking, with the
help of the FARMER, ought to re-
ceive the sympathy and earnest CO.
operation of the people of the vii
iage which such a worthy object
deserves. The exact date when the
entertainment will be held, the
price of admission, and the details
of the affair will be forwarded next
week.
Vaudeville is fast filling up with
summer visitors. Many houses
are rented and the Crescent and
other hotels present quite a cheer
full and animated appearance.
There are plenty of fish and crabs
in the Lake, and plenty of melons,
tomatoes and other good things on
shore. Although every day for
over a week, as regular as the clock,
angry black clouds gather. a cool
refreshing gale of wind comes
bowling over the Lake, the thunder
crash and lightning flash, all around
the horizon, but the expected ram
came not to gladden. the heart OF
the ANXIOUS tiller of the soil, until
now, the food gates are opened,
and the thirsty ground is getting
the best soaking it has been treated
to for a couple of months at least,
and the temperature is down 10 de-
grees and everybody is happy but
the Ice Man and Aunt Priciiia.

How Science UtiliZes All

In an article on the Wonders OF

George Jordan, in the Ladies'

at the present day u,ilizes the OK.
ssNot many years ago." he says,
when the OK was slaughtered 40 per
cent. of tire animal was wasted /;
at the present time nothing is
wasted but its diving breath. As
but one third Of the weight OF the
animal consists nf products that can
be eaten, the question of utilizing
the waste is serious one. The
blood is used in refining sugar and
raper. or manufactured into door
knobs and buttons. The hide goes
to the tanner ; horns and iloofs are
Transformed into combs and but
tons; thigh bones, worth $50 per
ton, are cnt into handles for clothes
brushes. Fore leg bones. wo-tL
$50 per ton. for collar buttons, para
sol handles aud jewelry: the water
i'm which the bones are boiled Il re-
duced to glue; the dust from saving
the bones Is food for cattle and
poultry, the smallest bones are made
INTO boneblack. Each foot yields
a quarter OF pint Of neatsfoot oil !;
the tail goes to the soup, while the
brush end of the tail is sold To nat
tress makers. The choicer parts Of
the fat mike the basis OF butterine !;
the in'estines are used for sausage
castings CT bought By gold beaters.
The undi,:es,ed food III the stom-
ach, which formerly cost the pack
ers Of Chicago $50 900 to move and
