A Veteran Mu1e.

The following is an extract from an
article written to the Woodruff VS. and
Review from Ferguson's mineral spring,
in Spartanburg county:
ave are sorry to chronicle the death of
Old Kit, which occurred last Friday
night. This old mule was 54 years old
and served in the quartermaster's de-
partment of the Sd S. c. regiment during
the war between the States, which made
her a heroine and Confederate Veteran,
and she ought to have been pensioned.
She died in the possession of Capt. Carter
after hard summers work Kit was
better than farm bell and was always
on time. She would tell you exactly
when IL O'Clock came and would holler
you up an hour before day every morn
ing without fail. Herpast life and record
are more honorable than those of hun
dreds of men and women that | could
put my fingers on. Mr.. Editor, if there
is a resting place for old mules, and be-
lieve there is in the great beyond, Old
Kit is an Arch Angel today"

The Value Of Dust.

Dust is essential to the well being of
the animal and vegetable Kingdoms of
the world. 1t is the medium through
which we obtain diffused daylight, for
the whole atmosphere is charged with
minute particles, which reflect sunlight.
To the dust again we owe the bright
blue of the skies. which it's particles, re-
jecting other tints, reflect. and the varied
and changeful colors of the sea are also
attributed to the same simple and ellec-
tive agency.
We are told that heavier particles,
which lie lower in the atmosphere, alb
sorb the blue rays and reflect the red and
green and orange which are seen at sum
set or when the air has been surcharged
with dust by some volcanic eruption.
Without this medium the earth could
not enjoy the blessings of cloudland and
of gracious rains, for aqueous vapor needs
nucleus to form upon, that it may
gather and descend.
Yet another function of this useful pro-
duct is to supply valuable top dressing
to the soil.

The English alliance with Japan is
limited by the provision that, in the
event of war between Japan and any
one power, England will not necessar-
lily come to her aid. If Japan and
Russia chose To decide the controversy
by war, it is possible and perhaps prob
able that neither England nor France
would be drawn into it. Germany
would probably hold aloof, in any
event, unless it came to question OF
the division Of China, and she could
not get as large share as the ambi-
lions of the strenuous Young kaiser
demanded. However, war, once be-
gun, would inevitably spread over
China and Korea, and it would con-
sequently involve the Chinese posses
sions Of all the European powers be-
sides jeopardizing their commercial in
terests and would also threaten trouble
in Tonking in India, with the result
that almost every great power Of the
world would be vitality interested in
the issue.

The Trail of the Midway.

During the progress of the Illinois
State Fair last week the Illinois Farm
ers' Club, which represents the best of
the agricultural interests, met TO con-
slider the relation of the side show to
state fair, and came to the conclu-
sion that the side shows which are so
prominent in recent fairs are wholly
out Of harmony with the objects of a
modern state fair. They might have
gone further in condemning the exhi-
billions which have been organized to
raid the fairs of all kinds. These
shows had their origin in the midways
of the worlds fairs, but have been de-
teriorating in proportion to their
cheapness until they have reached the
extreme of hafmfulneSS or useless
ness. Fortunately there is decided
reaction against them, as expressed by
the Farmers Club.

Confederate lines at Shiloh wavered
and fell back in retreat. Observing
the desperate resistance of the slowly
retreating lines, Gen. Grant asked
who was commanding the retreat.

''Some of you are likely to meet that
fellow Wright in command Of bril-
