 The Montgomery Advertiser says that Virginia-Pilot says that 1t never heard anybody call groundpeas binders" The Advertiser then goes in to, explain to the Virginian the nature of the groundpeas etc, and in the explanation calls them 'groundpeas." ''goobers," binders" etc name for the article?
 We'll, if you want the botanic name fl is Arachis Hypogea, if that isn't too hard. The words goober and binder are supposed to be of African origin. They are called earth-nuts, ground nuts, ground-peas, and peanuts. Most people in our part of the world call them ground peas, but binder and goober are both common terms, the former mostly used by old-time negroes.

The York Dispatch is inclined to be severe on The Advertiser because we recently said something about the present administration "coddling the rascals." and makes this defence:
 The accused men have been indicted. Innocent or guilty, they are entitled to a hearing One of the reasons the colonies went to war with England was that men were convicted without trial. 'Coddling the rascals." Rather a hard term for Democratic newspaper to apply to men alleged to have been advised in the art of rascality by man named Machen MT. Machen was appointed member of the postal force during MT. Cleveland's second term. Rascals are not confined to any party, but the national administration has no use for them. That is the reason it is turning them out of office
 Well, we are very patiently waiting for the rascals to be turned out There are enough of them, from appearances. to make quite a show if they could be paradvd in a body--with stripes on. And by The way, you can't shove Machen's rascality back into Clevelands admins tration. He may have been a Democrat and an honest man at that time. but he has been consorting with some very bad company lately-company that will ruin any mans politics and morals.

A TRAvEsrY ON JUSTICE.

One of the most notable cases of mis- carriage of justice that we have heard of comes from Jeffersonville, Ind, and is thus mentioned by The Indianapolis Sem tinel:
 William Potter and Harvey Garnett, two young negroes, were playing ball on Rhode Island Street, near Blake. They got into a friendly scuffle, and reVo5yeE in Potter's pocket was accidentally dls~ charged. mortally wounding Garnett, Although wounded himself, Potter pick ed Garnett up and carried him in his arms to the city hospital, sent for his parents. and showed the greatest solici- from any intentional wrong, and re- peatedly stated that the shooting was accidental.
 On this state of facts 1t required just four hours and half from the time the case was called for him to be tried. convicted and sentenced to the peniten- tiary for a term of from two to twenty years. There was, as The Sentinel else- where states, no pretence that the &C., cused intended any wrong, or that the facts were different from the above state- ment. The only excuse given for this travesty on justice was that the court wanted to teach the evil of carrying con cealed weapons.
 This is the simple story of what we can only designate a shameful proceeding. If the negro had been tried, convicted and punished on the charge of carrying con- cealed pistol, and the sentence had been commensurate with the offence no one could find fault with it, even though, as The Sentinel declares, the practice of carrying concealed weapons is a general one Tn the community. and is rarely pun ished. But if that had been the charge on which he was tried and convicted, the heaviest penalty would have been fine of $500 and that would not have satisfied the court, which wanted to make an ex- ample of some one. And the victim Is a negro. let it not be forgotten.

How to Keep Eggs Fresh.

Speaking of fresh eggs. United States Consul Richard Guenther writes from Frankfort, Germany:
 German papers state that it Is possible to keep eggs fresh for any length of time by simply immersing them in a 10 per cent. solution of silfcate of soda. com monIy called liquid glass" This pro duces the formation of a coating which eggs so treated retain their fresh taste for many months. The best proof of the efficacy of this treatment has been fur nished by thes fact that such eggs. after having been kept for a whole year. were matched. and the chickens were strong and healthy.
 'The preserving solution is best pre- pared by dissolving 1 pound of liquid glass in 4 quarts of cold water. The eggs are then immersed in this solution. which should be kept in a glazed earthenware vessel and the eggs are kept in the solu- tion for a short time; If one of these must be first perforated in order to pre- vent cracking"

After Barring Doors of "a BarrOOm.
The full force of deputy sheriffs made
a raid or two last night on several al
legged gambling joints, the addresses of
which were furnished by the grand
jury. AS a result of several visits the
members of the shrievalty returned
empty-handed.
At one place. on Stewart and West
Broad streets, the officers succeeded in
making a number of patrons of the
place take to their heels, but did not
succeed in catching any of them. The
proprietor of the place. Russell A..
Hackett, did not run. There was no
evidence of gambling and the officers
would, therefore, not make an arrest.
1t was found, however, that Racket
was running bar without having paid
his state liquor license, and under an
execution from the tax collector he
was forthwith closed up.
Hackett is now under indictment
both for gambling and for assault and

agitation. The officers visited several

Breckinridge's staff.]
The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few;
On flames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No answer to the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thought at midnight
haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrows strife
The warriors dream alarms
No braying horn nor screaming fife
AT dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud;
And plenteous funeral tears have
washed
Their red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms in battle gush-
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed. the flashing blade,
The trumpet's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade.
The din and shout are past;
Not wars wild note. nor glory'S peal,
Shall fill with fierce delight,
Those breasts that never more shall
feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the dread northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe;
Our heroes felt the shock and leapt
To meet them on the plain;
And long the plying sky hath wept
Above our gallant slain.
Sons of the consecrated ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues re-
sound
Along the endless air;
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil,
The ashes or her brave.
So meath their parents turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field;
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast,
On many a bloody shield;
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred hearts and eyes watch by
The hero's sepulchre.
Rest on enbalmed and sainted deadl
Dear as the bloody brave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstreps voiceless tone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanqulshed age hath
flown,
The story how you fell;
Nor wreck. nor change, nor winters
blight.
No times remOrSeless doom,
Shall dim one ray Of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.
