VALUABLE CARGO SAVED.
The Decision and Gallantry Of a
Squad of Enlisted Men.

William F. Crawford, sergeant COM
pany A, Ninth Illinois cavalry. Milan,
ILL.,, tells a good story of how val
liable cargo of government supplies
was saved to the government. In
January, 1864, sergeant from each
company of his regiment was sent
home on a two months leave to re-
cruit the regiment, says National Trib-
une. At the expiration of that time
several of them met at Cairo, ILL.,, to
take boat for Memphis, where the
Ninth Illinois cavalry was stationed
The boat was large one and heavily
loaded with army supplies, all kinds
of ammunition and enough Spe-cer
carbines to arm brigade. With the
exception of themselves there was no
one on the boat but the captain and
crew and ten old soldiers without
arms. Everything went along finely
until they got to within 80 miles of
Fort Pillow, when they met a boat
coming up the river, whose captain
called out that he had been fired on
at Fort Pillow, where the confederates
had cannon and a small number of
men. Sergt. Crawford talked over
the situation with his comrades, and
proposed to break open one of the
boxes of carbines and of cartridges,
but the mate objected, as did the cap
tain, who said he was responsible for
the cargo, and must deliver 1t intact.
The sergeant replied that the arms
were there, and that they must have
them to defend themselves and the
boat, so, being too many for the cap
tain and the crew, they opened the
boxes and helped themselves, taking
carbines and 25 rounds of ammupi-
tion. Comrade Crawford, with two
men, went up on the hurricane deck.
where they found two big coils of
rope, which he and one of the men ap-
propriated as means of protection,
while the third man took a position
behind the smokestack to watch the
pilot, whom they suspected and
feared would run them in. When
near Fort Pillow the cannon fired
a shot over their heads, which was
signal to the pilot to land them, but
they kept close watch on him, and
he made no move to do so. When op-
posite the cannon it fired right into the
boat, but the soldiers on board emp
tied the seven shots in their carbines.
and the captain of the boat cried
out: Boys, you have killed and
wounded several" They kept 1t up
until so far away that their guns
would not carry. None of the three
shots fired by the confederates had
any effect on them. and the soldiers
were landed at Memphis with a big
load of government supplies saved by
their pluck and resourcefulness.

QUEER IDEAS ABOUT FOOD.

Slowly but surely modern enlightenment is rele
eating to oblivion the foolish and often costly super
stitions which have been passed down from
tury to century. or those however, that nger is
the superstition about the spng of salt and the
sure coming of LII luck-the result of the painting
of celebrated picture which showed that Judas, at
the Last Supper, sat before an overturned salt eel
lar. Then there is the idea against thirteen at table
because there were Christ and his twelve apos-
ties around that board in the upper room at the
supper which was followed by our Lords
death, and that of Judas, too.
In some European countries i'll luck is said to
follow the person who stirs any liquid in pan from
east to west In Scotland persons when baking oat-
cakes break piece off and throw 1t in the fire to
appease evil agencies Still another custom in that
land is to make a birthday cake with nine knobs,
then nine of the assembled company when the cake
comes hot out of the oven, each breaks one knob
off, and throwing 1t behind him says: This give
to Thee, Fox Eagle, Wolf" etc.
In some countries it is considered unlucky to give
a mince pie to guest-it should be asked for. Like
wse mnce pie should never be cut with knife
but held whole with the fingers and eaten that way
Also to eat as many mince pies as possible at as
many different houses before Christmas, 1t is be-
lieved, will insure so many happy months for the
eater

10 work on and are absorbed in the discussion
blending. '
The looms are much the same that grandmoth-
ers mother knew. The size has been somewhat
reduced but the principle has not altered any.
In fact, looms in all countries as far back as
they can be traced have the same mechanical de-
vices that are ingenously elaborated to-day in
the high power carpet factories
weaving, no doubt, originated when some prime
val creature plated his her hair, and than
tried crossing three strands of heavy grass one
over the other From mats and baskets the
idea of nterlacing wool threads, and cloth
invented Weaving in some form other, is one
of the earliest signs of civilization.
1t might be argued that weaving is not an evil
dence of the advancement of intellectually The
wonderful shawls which from the far east,
and which we quite unable to initiate, are
made by peasant populace. And whoever has
turned over pictures illustrating the manufacture
of Turkish and Persian rugs is as much impressed
by the uncouthness of the makers as by the SYM
metry and imagination of the designs.
Crossing the Great Divide of this continent,
the Navajo and Moji Indians and the Mexican
blanket weavers to the south, are not leaders of
intellectual thought though they have established
blanket weaving industrial art. The old
squaws are more wrinkled than winsome. This
isn't the fault of the weaving, however, and there
is no gainsaying that rugs and tapestries and
draperies and all the other products of the loom
into which individuality is woven, have a reac-
tionary effect on daily life.
In Hingham, ardent handicraftsmen not long
ago discovered old colonial loom lurking In the
recesses of a garret. 1t was dragged forth and
restrung and now it is back at work again
Here, too Swedish linen weaving is DONE for
at bingham the industrial arts flourish Linens
for dresses, toweling, sheeting and table covers
are woven on the Swedish loom
The process of preparation requires almost as
much time and skill as the weaving itself To
warp the skens of linen is the first STEP This
is done by arranging all the threads in even
lengths on device somewhat like a turnstile
which spins ABOUND, carrying them from ton to
bottom and back again. Thus the threads are
measured off accurately, while By means of pegs.

keeps the warp an even
width when the threads
are strung on the loom.
The threads are thus
spaced accurately and
then made taut by being
stretched to the front
beam, and the weaver is
ready to start the cross
threads.
In introducing variegat-
ed shades, every other
thread can be raised by
pressing a pedal, and the
shuttle is thrown through
by hand, the operator
choosing the threads to
be crossed.
In embroidery work the
figure is woven onto the

What Guaranteed Deposits" Means

II as guarantor man would en-
dorse the notes of twenty men, each
note being 500, no sane person would
deny that the man assumed twenty
times more liability than if he had en-
dorsed but one note for 500. Neither
would a sane person deny that by en-
dorsing one note the man would as
sumo a liability to the extent of 500
that he did not have before; and that
his liability would be relatively the
same were other men associated with
him in the endorsement. Therefore,
to illustrate the principle by Bryan's
guaranteed deposits scheme, your
home banker would be compelled to
assume outside risks just in proper
tion to the number Of bankers assoc.
lated with him.
No man can guarantee another
mans honor, capacity, opportunity
without thereby assuming a risk OF
lessening the formers ability to prac-
tice, prove, or promote his own. The
principle underlying this statement
exactly fits and unanswerably con
demns Bryan's guaranteed deposits
scheme.

Tuesday morning, between 8
and 9 O'Clock, the two-year-old
boy of Ora Colville and wife was
stepped on by horse and in
stantly killed. They reside on
the Shuler farm, west of town,
and both parents were at work
in the tobacco field, and had lain
the little fellow on an improvised
bed on a tobacco-sled, as he was
sleepy, and had then gone about
their work in the field. A horse
was attached to the sled and was
hitched to a fence. In the course
of time the father went to look
after the comfort of the child
and found it dead, with a large
bruise on the right side of the
head just below the ear, and it is
the supposition that the horse in
fighting the flies either stepped
back on to the child or kicked
him along side the head. The
remains will be taken to Lewis
burg this morning for interment,
the parents having resided in
Preble count ty previous to moving
to their present home.
