HAND oRssADEs OF 1872.
Old Time Ordnance Found at Fort Mo
 Henry-hew They Were used.

!. While examining the contents of the ordnance storehouse at Fort Mo Henry Lieut.. ]. L. Holcombe, of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth coast artillery discovered several boxes of old hand grenades which are supposed to be more than q hundred years old. says the Baltimore American. The missiles are of the earliest make used by the United States government, and were probably placed at the historic old fort when it was first erected In lSi2. Owing to the way In which they were packed the grenades had only the slightest trace of rust upon them The discovery Of the weapons recalls a bit of the ancient history of the country. In explaining their use Lieut. Holcombs said that the grenades uers handled only by the grenadiers of tho ship. vho. walking out upon the yard arms of the old fashioned fighting ves- sels threw them into the ranks of the enemy. An explosion followed which created havoc They weigh about four pounds and are shaped after the fashion of the bombs used by snar. ehiEts. and are iron and loaded wlth gunpowder.

Uncle Sam doctor to his own peo- pie. Why not? So has asked the de- partment of agriculture and during the past few years has been trying to answer the question to the satis- faction of the most skeptical. With , soil and climate of almost every va riety why should not the United States produce the drugs which up to the present time 1t has been enforced to obtain from other lands, such as camphor from Japan, the poppy from China, licorice from southern Europe, etc.
 Experiments have shown that these and most other plants used in the making of the various drugs can be grown on American soil. and 1t is probably only a question of a few years when the importations of this character. which now amount to some thing like s74.452.664 every year, will be unnecessary.
 At the experiment stations estab- lished by the government at Washing ton. D. C.. Ebenezer. s. C.. and at Bur lington. Vt. and at other places as the occasion has warranted. plants i'm ported from Europe. and the orient, from Japan and China. have been grown. Great strides have been made with the poppy.

We had gone down the river farther Than was usual with us, had spent the night with a friend of my friend, and hfterward had gone on again. There fore, on account of the distance and The weariness of two days fishing, I had sent a message to my negro serv- ant, Jordan, telling him to meet me with my horses at the lower bridge. where the river intersects what is known as the Watts ferry road.
 It was still early when we reached the appointed spot; the wind blowing out of the south brought to our nos trfls the resinous smell of the pines. and a faint, sweet odor of tessamine and bay. Wash Bozeman heaved a sigh of relief. drew from his pocket eorncob pipe and proceeded to get it alight.

 Wash answered nonchalantly. Why" he queried, why sh'd not the girl be pleased? Danny's fine-Iookin' "a little reckless bout work, mebbe, but yit ther kind uv man at a woman mostly likes"
 "oh, yes." I admitted. he looks very well. and is industrious, no doubt, but .ou know Danny. wash-he will get drunk, and Kathie deserves better than that"
 My friend arose and shook his head decisively. "No," he objected. he won't git drunk. squire-not now. he won't. I pintedly kyored i'm uv thet sort uv foolishness a good bit afore his weddin' day"
 Now, Wash is not naturally meddle- some-such a disposition would inter fere seriously with his attitude of re- pose-neither Is he averse to taking "a little for his stomach's sake" hence the idea of his acting as a re- former seemed ridiculous one to me.

 Wash puffed diligently at his pipe and then removed 1t again. "So fur ez I kin tell" he remarked. impersonally. "thar's jest ez much likker afoat ez thar ever wuz. You know thet much, squire. an ef anybody doubted hit, look at yo' nose 'ud be a conyincln' argument.
