MYTH VIRGINIA CAVALRY.

General Il. l.. T. Beale, who for the
greater part Of the civil war commanded
the Ninth Virginia Cavalry. left at his
death in 1893, a manuscript history OF the
regiment. based on notes which he had
taken during the war. The narrative Is
an "orderly, accurate, and graphic ac-
count Of the encampments, marches. stir
ring raids. and battles in which the regi-
mentito took part. A rull Foster Of the Off
GERS and men of the several companies
has been added, and the casualties in
battle noted, as far as they could be as
certained."
With the consent OF Lieutenant Beale,
who has edited his fathers MS, an APP
pendix has been added. giving the ac-
count Of Dahlgren's raid. which was pre-
pared by Captain Pollard. of Company
II a short time before his death.

MIR. JONES TO MIR. LAsSITER.
Discussion of Attitude of Virginia
Delegation in Federal Convention.
Richmond. Va, April 10, 1899.

Richmond, Va, April 10, 1899.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
| have read the letter addressed TO
Messrs. John F. Rixey, Henry c. Stuart,
Claggett Il. Jones, A. j. Montague, and
others by +. X. Lassiter, Esq. which
appeared in your issue of the 1lth in
slant.
AS l understand Mr.. Lassiter's position,
as stated by himself, he has for many
years favored the election of senators of
the United States by the direct vote OF
the people. and he also approves the
widest discussion of that proposition, but
that, for reasons not very clearly stated,
and which will hardly commend them
selves to Democrats generally. he is OPP
posed 10 the May convention. the prime
object OF which is TO promote exactly
that which he has so long favored. and
where that opportunity for the wide dis
ousson which he SO much approves will
be afforded him.
But 1t IS not for the purpose OF direct
ing attention To Mr.. lassiters attitude
as TO the movement recently inaugu-
rated in this State to give 20 the people
a direct voice in the election OF their
senator's that l shall ask you TO publish
this letter The fact that Mr.. Lassiter's
letter is addressed to the signers Of the
cali for the May convention, and the cir
cumstances surrounding and connected
with it's publication, would seem TO JUS
tify the assumption that it is put forth
as the carefully considered argument Of
those who are opposed 10 this movement,
and who, for reasons easily guessed,
would be gratihed to see II defeated, but
who, nevertheless. hesitate TO oppose 1t
actively and openly. This being the case.
and inasmuch as Mr.. Lassiter challenges
the accuracy OF one or more Of the state
men;s of historical fact contained In the
address. l am prompted 10 ask sufficient
space in which 10 show that he and not

The Boston Herald remarks that Admit
raj Deweys statement that he would
probably be a Democrat if he lived in
Georgia will not altogether please those
who wanted stronger politics at his hands,
but it has a good deal Of truth in it. Then
the Herald adds:
1--WE remember a strong Republican
minister Of this city who was once called
To temporary service in a southern city
After he had been there a little time he
wrote home: What surprises me here is
that i find in my congregation @nd out

invariably TO be Republicans. are Demo-
Gratis at the South He had become

puzzled him at first but he saw into the
causes clearly before his ministration was
over. and he probably learned a lesson OF
charity in so doing"
And yet, with the testimony of the ex-
perience of this minister before it, the
Herald cannot understand the crime in
volved in giving the negro the ballot.

The highest price ever paid for piece
of manuscript was 5000 for the Had,
written on vellum. probably in the eighth
century This valuable relic OF other
Years is now in that great repository OF
literary treasures, the British Museum.
There are comparatively few persons
nowadays who realize the hold which the
Had has had for centuries on the read
ing public. When Alexander Pope trans
lated the great epic into English it proved
immensely popular, and the peevish little
poet obtained for ii a sum which has rare
ly been equalled by the labors Of any
modern author. Counting both the price
given him by his publishers and the pen
sion which followed the work, he re-
ceived $4,000 for this great effort. In
Pope's day $4,000 represented 10000
sum which placed him i'm comfortable cir
cumstances all the rest Of his life. out
Of this liberal fortune he bought Twick-
enham, his home, and found the means
to enjoy every comfort Of his day.

II Mr.. Mills really proposes TO champion
| an ordinance requiring ladies TO remove
| their hats upon entering places OF amuse-
! ment here. he would DO well to fortify
! himself with a great array Of facts and
figures to convert the public to his views.
In the tourney which he threatens to
enter. he should be armed cap pie, as
II were and have his lance rested secure
~, else he may find himself discounted
and overborne.
But II his proposed ordinance be good
thing for the theatre-going public, we
should like TO know why IL wouldn't he
a good thing for the church-going publicF
IL is possible that some Of our council
men know more about the theatres than
about the churches; If so. we can assure
them that the identical hats which the
ladies' wear 10 the theatres they often
times wear 10 church We assure him,
also, thst a devout worshipper Is quite
as much annoyed at being shut off from
n view Of the altar. or pulpit, rs the the
atre-goer Is at being shut off from
view Of the footights.
We suppose IT is men folk, principally,
who are the alleged victims of these out
rageous hats: but we advise Mr.. Mills
not 70 trust them They will not stick 10
him: they will desert him-that is, If their
wives or sweethearts are owners Of any
of the obnoxious cart-wheel hats In ques-
ton.
But even If men were entitled to the
protection Mr. Mills would afford them.
are not women entitled to equal rights?
In n spirit of fairness. Mr.. Mills, there
fore. should amend his ordinance, so as
to make it unlawful. for instance, for
men to go out between acts Ito see
man. BY pushing and squeezing their
way between the rows of seats they dis
order the ladies' dresses. and make
nuisances Of themselves for the time be-
ing.
There are other ways, also, in which
men offend at places Of amusement. To-
bacco splitting is one Of them.
Let Mr.. Mills attack this whole brood
and batch OF evils. or let the women's
hats alone. Let us rely upon public opin-
ion 90 furnish the remedy needed. We
rest our hopes of reform in this matter
on public opinion and the sure knowledge
that millinery fashions do not continue
forever A time will come when none
but a dowdy woman will wear big tall
hat; but alas! that time is not yet, for
this season the hats are taller, If not
broader (and lovelier), than ever before.

Counting the Cost.
Few Butter Makers Know the
Financial Results of
Their Work.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Most farmers make butter, but the
majority of them do not know whether
they are making it at profit or loss,
simply for the reason that they do not
keep an account of what it costs to
make the butter or even what the sales
amount to, says Philip Harris in The
National Stockman. There are four es-
sentials necessary for profitable butter
making-viz, first, the right kind of
cows; second, the right kind of feed
and care for the COWS; third, the max
ing of the right kind Of butter, and,
fourth, the marketing of the butter so
as to obtain the highest price for it.
Cleanliness is the main part of max
ing first class butter. In milking be
very careful to brush off all dirt and
filth from the cows udder before milk
ing. Keep the cows foot and tail out
of the bucket, as they don't belong
there. After the milking is done strain
the milk as soon as possible, and, hay
ing obtained a good separator, run the

The perpetual switching of cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes is
extremely annoying, aside from the
liability Of getting dirt switched from
the tail into the milk pail. Some milk
ers tiethe cows tail to her leg, but the
flies make the COW so uneasy that she
will soon switch her tail loose or else
will break into run. The best way
to keep flies from cows Is to rub lit
tie grease over their back and sides,
and very little will be enough. Then
spread over her branches cut from the
trees, allowing the green leaves to ex-
tend down her sides. The mixer can
then milk in comfort. 1t will need
fresh branch every two or three days,
keeping it In water when not used as a
shade for the cow.-Boston Cultivator.

milk through while yet warm. The
cream may then be put in cool place
to ripen, after which churn it. Salt
and work the butter and put it up in
one pound prints with parchment but
ter paper wrapped around 1t. The but
Ter should be kept in cool place
where the air can pass over it-pure
air-not be boxed up tight, as 1t might
taste of the wood or vessel in which 1t
is stored.
The last and not the least part of the
programme is the marketing of the
butter at the highest price to be OBJ
tanned for first class butter. There is
no trouble to sell your butter. You
can take 1t to the store. They will
buy your butter and pay you as
much for your first class but
ter as they do for the poorest but
ter made-all one price. OF course
your butter as they do for the poorest
butter made-all one price. OF course
they can't afford to pay high price
for it, as they put 1t all together in a
cupboard or box, good, bad and indif
ferent, and in three or four days it will
all smell alike and taste nearly alike,
and If the merchant happens to get
more on hand than his customers want
he will sell the surplus for soap grease.
The best way to market your butter
at good price Is to get good Gus
toners and deliver your butter In first
class condition once a week. In get
ting customers you will find all kinds
of customers to deal with. Some of
them will want your butter If it is
first class, but they want 1t at the low
est price the stores pay. You deliver
your butter to them first class in ev-
cry way, They ask the price. You
say, twenty-five cents per pound"
They say: 1T is too much. The stores
are asking only 16 cents" Whenever
you meet that kind of customer just
tell him to eat store butter. You don't
have that kind to sell There are peo-
pie who want the best on the market
and who are willing to pay a little
more than the store price. That is the
kind of customers you want.
Now about the advantage of having
a cream separator of your own. First,
you get all the cream out of your milk
there is in it. In the old way of set
ting milk in crooks or pans and leav-
ing the cream to rise at leisure If the
temperature is just right you will get
nearly all the cream from the milk,
but if the weather Is too hot the milk
will get sour too soon, and you don't
get all the cream. If the weather is
too cold, you don't get all the cream.
Second. the skimmilk from the sep
arator is entirely sweet and is worth
a great deal more for feeding calves
and pigs than the sour milk. Well,
how about hauling your milk to the
creamery? That is all right If you
want to save work for the women, but
it will make a difference of from to
s cents pound in favor of running
your own private creamery as before
stated. In this way you will get or
8 cents more per pound for your but
ter by selling and delivering 1t direct
to customers than you could get from
the creamery. You would gain about
one-siXth in the amount of butter pro
duced, as you are only allowed for
butter fat at the creamery.
