HER FIRST PATIENT.

Some years ago before the Crimean
war, in a Derbyshire village, young
girl might have BEEN seen kneeling on
the brick floor of shepherds cottage.
She was bending over a great rough
sheep dog, wnlle a gentleman at her
side was looking at the animals paws,
which had been badly hurt The shep-
herd was going to drown poor Cap, the
dog, thinking that ne would never pe
of any more use, but a friend who eX-
amined his leg said that it was not
brokem and only needed bathing III
hot water.
The girl then lighted fire. boiled some
water tore up some flannel Mto strips
an. bathed the poor dogs leg. The next
day she came and did the same thing
again, and before long Cap was rs well
as ever. That girl was Miss Florence
Nightingale, and when she grew UP she
went to the Crimea and nursed the sick
and wounded soldiers who had no friends
to care for them in tnat cold and dreary
climate.-Chatterbox

HE USED THE PIECES.

Many years ago there lived and work
ed in Italy a great artist in mosalcs.
His skill was wonderful. With bits of
glass and STONE he could produce the
most striking works Of art works that
were valued at thousands of pounds.
In his workshop was plor little
boy. whose business it was to clean
M the floor and tidy up the room after
the days work was done. He was n
quiet little fellow. and always did his
work well. That was adj the artist
knew about him.
One day he came to his master and
asked tinlidly, please, master, may |
have for my own the bits of glass YOU
throw upon the fioory
why, yes. boy" said the artist The
bits are good for nothing. Do as you
please with them"
Day after day, then, the child might
nave been seen studying the broken
pieces found ON the floor, laying some
on one side and throwing others awlr.
He was faithful little servant, and
so year after year went by and saw
him still I'M the workshop.
One day his master entered Il store
room little used, and in looking round
came anon piece OF. work carefully
hidden behind the rubbish. He brought
If TO the light. and, to his surprise.

At that moment the young serva.'l
entered the door. He stopped short on
seeing his master, and when he saw
the work in his hands deep 1ush
dyed his face.

WE EAT TOO MUCH.

'Of the many cures in vogue,

TOBACCO CULTURE.

Mr.. Sergeant PTentiss Knut
writes to the Natchez Democrat,
on Tobacco Culture, as follows;
see by the papers that
movement has been started in our
adjoining county Of Wilkinson to
raise tobacco as farm crop.
Perhaps some of your readers are
interested in this question and
few lines from me may be well
received.
Last year raised over 100, 900
pounds Of tobacco in Kentucky,
netting $50 per acre rent money
on some of it and the highest
price obtained was cents per
pound for leaf and lues. De-
string TO ascertain ii tobacco could
not be made a paying crop here,
in Adams county, ! took up the
subject and have studied il in all
branches open to me and / be-
lieye the results warrant me in
making an effort. Climate and
soil are the essentials in raising
tobacco, after which comes Gull
tivation and handling.
My investigation and studies
SO far point to Sumatra, at S1.50
per barrel and 800 pounds per
acre as the best variety we may
hope to succeed with. In rais-
ing tobacco the grower has in
view the market for plug, filler
and wrapper. | raised the Prior
for plug and filler and the Burley
for wrapper. The Sumatra is
wrapper and is the very best that
grows, commanding the highest
price Of all tobaccos. The other
varieties raised in the United
States are principally native,
which are unaffected by foreign
competition, but against Suma-
ira there is an enormous tariff
which will in all probability be
retained for a long time. At any
rate one pound of it will wrap
five times as many cigars as any
other variety, 80 it must always
remain the favorite wrapper.
To the reader who would raise
crop this year | will say that no
time should be lost in preparing
plant bed. This is done by
burning logs over a spot Of rich
earth after which it is spaded to
depth of a few inches and the
seed sown about as you would
SOW cabbage seed. Seed can be
procured from Florida where q
good deal OF this variety has been
raised, but where only few have
met with SUCCESS, owing to want
Of intelligence or care in cultiva-
ting and proper curing and hands
ling after the growth is done.
Should this matter be Of suf-
iicient interest to any OF the
readers Of the Democrat who have
no experience in raising or cur
ing ! will, as the season advances
write articles on these subjects to
guide and help them.

MAKING pAy

Ia a recent issue the NJ
leans Daily Item desciis1s
plant recently established in tl4
city for pressing waste paper and
shipping it TO Northern paper
mills, there 10 be reconverted in
TO new clean paper, and possibly
shipped back 20 New Orleans,
when percentage OF il will like
ly meet the same fate, viz; be-
come waste, be pressed into a
bale and shipped back north. Be
that as it may, however, tho fact
remains that there are no paper
mills in the South, except at
Chattanooga, and yet ii would
seem that this industry should
thrive here as well as elsewhere
aud thus preclude tha necessity
for such long hauls as are now
necessary.
Paper making is an industry 10
which little or no attention has
been paid in the South. The ex-
treme northeastern states have a
monopoly on the business and
quite recently nearly every mill
in tho country has been inccrpo-
rated under one trust for the pur-
pose OF curtatllng production and
controlling prices. The larger
consumers have become alarmed
and are now petitioning congress
to remove the tariff duties so that
foreign manufacturers may com-
pete and thus keep down the
trust prices.
The time and occasion are ex-
c9edingly opportune for the es-
tablishment Of paper mills in the
South. They would certainly be
able to dispose of their entire
product at renumerative prices
scores Of them could not glut the
market provided they manufac-
tured a lirst-clags article Of paper
and made half an effort to soil It
to Southern consumers.
While New Orleans Is estab-
fishing a plant for baling waste
paper TO be shipped back to Ver-
mont or Massachusetts, moro
than a thousand milos, why not
put in machinery for reducing
the waste To pulp and making
paper. The New Orleans papers
would use enough to keep good
sized mill running year in and
year out. jackson News.

There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Bal
tmore and Ohio Rail Road engines
~ Martinsburg. w. Va. during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads BY Col. Thomas Sharp. who Is
stu living in Ohio. Recently. an Of
ncial OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
ROAD made some inquiries OF old en-
pioyes who were at Martin Sburg al
the time the Incident happened and
they say that on June 10. 1861. 200
men OF Genl Stonewall Jacksons
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohios equipment at
AartinsburE. They piled wood and
coal over II engines and nearly 400
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve Of the engines. however.
were seriously damaged, and these not
BY the IRE, but because the water was
drst let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August IS,
1851. and remained there until the fol-
lowing March. engaged In removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike, either to Staunton, Win
chester or Strasburg, lard there are
some Historians who disagree on this
init - horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all the
duplicate parts Of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station,
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used In the
Southern arsenals. The country around
NArtinsburg IL extremely billy and the
work Of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rsntly reported in late years that one
Of the locomotives was the Winaps
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered n, but Col Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken and that was No. 81.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master Of Trans
portAtion.
