to enter the ministry if the gen
eral had only suggested it.
The following day was appoint
ed for settlement of the annua
contract with the negroes. The
agent of the Freedman's bureau
was the Judge before whom the
general, his overseer, and clerk
OF account, and all the negroes
assembled.
If the devil himself had devised
an instrument for creating race
antagonism and strife he could
not have improved on this bureau
IN its actual workings. Had
clean handed, competent agents
been possible it might have ac-
complished good. These agents
were as a rule the riff-raff and
trash of the north. 1t was the
supreme opportunity of army
cooks, transfers, fakirs and
broken dow preachers who had
turned insurance agents. They
were lifted from penury to af1u-
ence and power. The possibi1i-
of corruption and downright
theft we're practically 1imit1ess.
The agent at Hambright had
been a preacher in Michigan who
lost his church because of unsav-
DRY rnmors about his character.
He had eked out a living as book
agent, and then insurance agent.
He was man of some education
and had glib tongue which the
negroes readnyA mistook for in
spired e1oquence. He assumed
great dignity and an extraordina-
judicial tone of voice when adjust
ing accounts.
General Worth submitted his
accounts and they showed that
all but six of the so negroes en-
ployed had a little overdrawn
their wages in provisions and
clothing.
i think there is a mistake, gen.
eral, in these accounts, said the
Rev. Ezra Perkins, the agent.
''What?" Numbered the gener-
al.
"A mistake in your view of the
contracts" answered Ezra in his
oiliest tone.
The negroes began to grin and
nudge one another, amid exclam-
ations of Hear dat!" Oar now!"
What do you mean? The con-
tracts are plain. There can be

to furnish the men to the end of
the year for adjustment after the
crops we're gathered. AS it is, I
will lose over $500 on the farm. -
The general paused and looked
at the agent with rising wrath.
It's useless to talk. I decide
that under this contract you are
to furnish supplies yourself and
pay your people their monthly
wages besides. I have figured it
out that you owe them little ov-

The general turned on his hee
without word, sprung on his
horse, land in a few minutes a1ight-
ed at the hotel. He encountered
the assistant agent of the bureau
on the steps.
Did you wish to see me, gen.
eral?" he asked.
No! I'm looking for man

clerks desk. ~

MORE SAMPLES OF GRAIN.
Some Handsome Samples of Grain
Being Received for the State
Display at st Louis.
List of Some of the Best Samples Re-
ceived From Various Parts in
the State.
Farmers Urged to Cooperate With
the State Authorities in Pro-
curing a Good Display

Some very fine samples of grain in
the straw and grasses have rome to the
capitol from various parts of the state
for the state exhibit, though nothing
like the quantity expected and prom
Used. Fine exhibits have been secured
by some CT the counties but have not
yet been sent to the capitol as the local
real estate men urge the holding of tire
exhibit in the various towns as long as
possible as it is doing them much good,
being used to show investors and new
Corners the resources of that locality.
Before the Legislature meets, however,
these exhibits are expected to be Sent
here for installation at the capitol.
Among the recent receipts of grain
the five large bundles of oats from
Griggs county are prominent. These
oats are a trifle over six feet high and
went over 81 bushels per acre, on old
land. They were raised on the farm
of L. Ladbery near Cooperstown. An
other fine lot of stuff is from John O.
Brink of Kindred, Cass county. The
collection includes samples of two
crops of timothy, extra fine millet, Blue
Stem wheat, oats, shelled corn, and a
bunch of as fine corn on the ear as one
al find anywhere. MI. Brink won q
medal for his grain at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition and says he will have
a full collection of all kinds of grain,
grasses and vegetables for the exhibit
next year. b. J.. Massey of Mandan
sent some splendid white dent cor on
the ear and Henry Rix, also from Man
dam sends the 25 ears of white dent
corn that won the first premium at the
state fair. w. r. Gluyas of Hofflund
sends samples of bronze grass of differ
ent ages and crops which shows the
rapid growth of this new forage plant.
One particularly interesting exhibit
is from F. r. Strong of Seoville, Ram
som county. 1t consists of several
bundles of macaroni wheat over six
feet tall that yielded a trife over forty
bushels per acre. This grain has been
successfully raised by MT. Strong for
the past 16 years and he says he has
had THE greatest success with it, the
dryer years having no effect on th5
crop, the average being 80 bushels pei
acre for the sixteen years. This is the
wheat that the government so highly
recommends for the Slope country, and
the samples displayed at the capitol
should attract the attention of progress
sive farmers in this section. Mr.
Strong also sends samples Of other
grains and grass crops which are worth
seeing

If the Bible Perished?

If every complete copy of the Bible
were destroyed, would it be possible Of
reproduction by ministers, theologians
and others?
The probability is that it would, even
if, as the question supposes, all the
type kept up by the various printers
Of Bibles and Testaments and prayer
books were also destroyed. In the first
place, such a vast number of common
taries have been published in different
languages on various portions of the
Bible that it would almost be possible
to reconstruct the Scriptures from
them, and such deficiencies as existed
would be supplied by ancient writings,
mainly controversial works, which re-
produce the text very fully. Sermons,
homilies and kindred works would also
be Of great assistance, and such de-
fciencies as might still remain would
certainly be supplied from the memo
ries Of the vast numbers of Biblical
students who have studied the Scrip
lures in so many different languages

CONSTANT DISTURBANCES.
Macedonian Agitation Far From Being
Ended. ~

-. ErEHt g.. . E1CGO. - -. 81
New York, Nov. 26.-In spite OF the
comforting assurances that, the Mace
DOMAIN agitation is ended, numerous
armed bands continue, says a Times
dispatch from Salonica by way of Lon
don, to hold their ground in the mac
cessible districts and sporadic disturb
ances are constantly reported.
In the last fortnight there have been
four encounters in the Strumitza dis
trlct between Bulgarian bands and
gendarmes. A few on both sides were
killed or wounded. In two instances
the villagers fled and their homes
were plundered.
In another districts brigands cap
tured and pillaged a village. The only
report of this outrage was. that TWEEN
ty-seven of the villagers were arrested
and brought to Salonica. I
In the Salonica district an attack
was made on the house Of the head
man of a village. He escaped, but his
wife and two sons and two daughters
were bayonetted, it is alleged, by en-
lssaries of the Macedonian committees
disguised as ~gendarmes.
A band of 400, attempting to invade
Turkish territory from Bulgaria, was
repulsed with considerable loss. The
invaders wore Bulgarian uniforms.
Another band raided a Bulgarian vii.
lage in the Petritch district, which is
obnoxious to the revolutionaries, be-
cause it is subject to the Jurisdiction
Of the patriarchate. One inhabitant
was killed.

Would Make Mummies.

No reason exists, says a foreign jour
nal, why persons should not keep their
beloved ones with them after death,
since their bodies can very easily be
mummifed. The ancient Egyptians, it
continues, were experts at this art, and
a close study of some Of their mum
mics shows how they did the work.
The body is placed in a boiler which
contains chloride of calcium and which
is heated to 125 degrees and after re-
naming there for a certain time is TAX

hours in a cold solution of sulphate of
