Medal Belonging to Late George n.
Chadwick Restored to Relatives.

The following clipping from the Mil
ford (Mass) Daily News of June q,
which explains itself, will be of interest
to many Augusta readers of the Journal:
Clarence A Sumner today mailed to
William McDavid. Augusta. Me, adjutant
of Seth Williams Post 13. G. A. r., of
that city. Civil war medal that was the
property of George II Chadwick of Co.
C., Sd Regiment, Me. Vols, during the
Civil war.
1.-The medal is battered affairs of base
metal. bearing on one side a relief of
George Washington and edged with the
name of the father of his country and
the date of his birth, Feb %, 1852. On
the other side, cut into the metal, is the
name of the owner of the piece his res
idence and regimental and company en-
listment and the date 1861.
"Mr Sumner tried to locate the owner
of the piece through story in Boston
paper years ago, but failed; but on May
5 wrote to Adjutant McDavid and later
received a letter from him which said
that Chadwick and his wife are dead,
but he has two sisters living and they
would like to have the medal.
MIR. Sumner today wrote to Adjutant
McDavd, enclosing the medal and his
compliments to the relatives esteeming
it pleasure to be able to return what
must be almost sacred relic of the dead
after SO many years.
'Mr. sumner says that he cannot now
remember where or when the piece came
into his possession, except that it was
many years ago. He states that it is his
impression that il came frem some con-
demned army stores bought by a firm
by whom he was then employed as book
keeper"
In connection with the above it may be
said that DIR. McDavid has received the
medal and has turned it over to Mrs. IL.

Belief That the Grain Originated il
America Spoiled by China.

1t has been generally believed that
America was the original home of
corn Last year small lot of shelled
corn of a kind new to this country was
sent 10 the department of agriculture
from Shanghai 1t proved to have
qualities that may make it valuable
in breeding corn adapted to the hot
and dry conditions of tie Southwest
The plants raised i'm the test averaged
less than G feet In height. with an
average OF II green leaves ct the time
of tasselling. The ears averaged So
inches in length and Is inches in
greatest circumference with &c to Is
rows of small grains On the upper
part of the plant the leaves are all
on one side of the stalk instead of be-
ing arranged in two rows on opposite
sides Beside this. the upper leaves
stand erect instead of dropping, and
the tjps of the leaves are therefore
above the top Of the tassel The silks
of the ear are produced at the point
where the leaf tlade is Joined to the
leaf sheath, and they appear before
there is any sign of an ear except a
slight swelling.
This corn is very different from any
that is now produced in America. It's
peculiar value is that the erect ar
rangement Of the leaves on one side
of the stalk and the appearance OF
tive silks in the angle where the leaf
blade joins the sheath offer a pro-
tected place i'm which pollen can settle
and fertilize the silks before the lat
ter are ever exposed to the ar This
is an excellent arrangement for pre-
venting the driving out of the silks be
fore pollenation. While this corn may
he of little value itself, it is likely thai
by cross breeding these desirable quail
tiles can be Impaired to large corn
which will thus be better adapted Il
the Southwest.
These experts say that this particular
corn Is so different from anything il
the new world that il must have beer
developed in the old world. and init
mate that corn was grown in Chin;
many years before the voyage o
Columbus. The fact that this admis
sion is made by experts of a depart
merit which has a cabinet officer from
this eountry's greatest corn state |,

and Witness Fine Performance.

Augusta was visited Saturday for
the first time this season by circus,
and the day being hot was an ideal one
for the show. This circus was Downie
& Wheeler's and although small one,
with two rings, they had on the pro-
gram everything that was advertised
and when the show was over every one
VAS perfectly satisfied with it.
The circus had some of the best
trained dogs and ponies of any show
which has visited this city for some
time. while the acrobatie stunts were
of high order The trick cyclist and
his thrilling ride from the steep ladder
was sensational while the clowns were
very funny and had many new stunts.
The parade in the forenoon brought
a large number of people out on the
street and as the last tent show
which visited Augusta did not have a
parade this one was more eagerly
waited for ON the whole the perfor-
nance was very good
