71m Way la Which A Union Officer la
warded the Ooartarautar of Libby
Mm.
Cektkalia, 111., March 2—Uncle
Jack, the Confederal* quartermaster
who was so kind lo Union soldiers,
tells this story :
In 18#i there was a prisoner at
Libby from Pennsylvania, at pres
ent a mighty factor in the politics of
the Keystone Slate—Gen. Harry
-White. He was then Maj White.
While bo was putting in the wssri
some days and nights partaking of
Jeff. Haris’ hospitality, he was elec
ted to represent hie district in the
Pennsylvania Senate. Just at that
lime th* State wanted lo send a repre.
sentative to the United State* Senate
and the Legislature on joint ballot,
without White, was a tie. The lte
publicans wanted White badly, and
an offer was niadc to give several
Southern Majors for him. Col. Rob
ert Nuid, Ilia Con federate Peace Com
missioner, undertook to use this fact
in obtaining a gencrcl exchange of
prisoners,and while negotiations were
in progress, White, on the occasion
ol some non-combatants being sent
North, impersonated a surgeon and
escaped. His absence was discovered
however, before reaching the triicc
boat, and he was recaptured and sent
to Salisbury, where lie was placed
under strict sit "veil la nee until ex
changed. During the lime that Maj.
White was coulincd in Libby the
Quartermaster was kind In him. and
as a sequel to the story -Uncle Jack”
tells bow magnanimously White
returned the kindness. When Rich
mond was taken by the Northern
troop* the old Quartermaster was
himself mudu a prisoner. Ho was
charged with cruelly to prisoners
and threatened with hanging. Dur
ing ilia incarceration who should vis
it the old stamping-grouiid but
Maj. Harry While, now a General
White, immediately recognizing his
old friend he saw that hs was in
Iraubie. lie proffered his assistance
ami was asked by llio Confederate
officer to go and dispel the fears of
his little daughter, who was almost
wild with apprehension that her
■ iuer would suffer death at ttwrntwinr
of the Yankees. “If, after doing
that,” said Uuclo Jack, “you feel dis
posed to interest yourself in my bo
half further I shall be grateful for
whatever in your magnanimity you
may accomplish.’' Upon the interpo
sition of Gen. White an exami
nation into tlio charges against Uncle
Jack was maue and the result was
that an order was issued for his im
mediate release,
Tab citizens of Bradford, Pa., wore
slatted Tuesday by a terrific explo
sion which shook the houses in all
parts of the town. The uilro- glyc
erine manufactory of the Rock glyc
erine company at Howard junction
three miles away, had exploded. W.
Herrington, one of the proprietors,
and H V. Pratt an employe, were
killed. The factory, i woniy-flve foot
away, was blown into fragment!,
l’ruti’s body was found two hundred
foot away. All his hones wore brok
en, but the skin was intact. Mr.
Herrington weighed 190 pounds.
One or two pieces of flesh were the
otdy trace that oould ho fonud of
him. The trees wore torn up by the
roots and great holes were rando in
each. The less is f5,000.
Never affect to be other thau
what your are. Learn to say, “I do
not know,” and “I cannot afford it,”
with some sonorous distinctness and
emphasis. Men will thou believe
you when you say, “I do know,”
and * I can afford it.” Never be
ashamed to pass for just what you
truly are and you are on solid
ground. A man is already of con
sequence in the world, when it is
known that we can implicity rely on
him—that when he says he knows a
thing, he will do. Such a reputa
tion will give man more real enjoy
ment, and ia of far greater value to
him than all the results which dis
play and pretention can compass.

The Southern Lire Stock Journal
Surkville, Miss., in its issue of Nov
13, gires the following, showing th
possibilities of Mississippi fanning.
Can any pi antcr who cultivates the
richest bottoms in the South show
such results of agricultural skill and
persistent industry? Such men as
Firman, of Georgia, and Capt. Stin
son, of Mississippi, like Moses and
Joshua, by their wisdom and valor
lead Die way lo the emancipation of
Southern farmers from crop mort
gages and farm mortgages, and liens
on teams and cattle, and 40 per cent,
interest for credit at the store. Here is
wliai the Southern Live Stock Jour
nal says:
Capt. Johu Stinson of Meridian,
had at the recent lair one of the finest
agriculcnltural displays we ever saw.
We doubt that one rnan ctcr brought
out before such a varied display ot
the products of his farm.* There is
certainly no section in the country
outside of the Gulf States where so
many different things could be raised.
Wc give a complete list of the articles
on exhibition : Corn 5 varieties; field
peas,!) varieties; sweet potatoes, 2 va
rieties ; Irish potatoes, sorghum canc
and seed, ribbon cane; milo maize;
crab grass; oats, 5 varieties; barley,
rye, Gorman millet,sunflower, eluifa,
peanut, ground pea; grasiei—orchard
meadow Ice tie, meadow oat, lie t
tuckey blue, red top, whito ciovcr.
Burr clover, Johnston and
Bermuda grass; also seed of
six of llieso varieties; of
nuts, black walnut, hickory, acorns,
artichokes; apples, 6 varieties; peach
es, 2 varieties; quinces, persimmons,
wild grapes, May pops, tomatoes, rad
ishes, egg plant, onions, peppers, but
ter, tallow, soap, caudles, sugar, mo
la.scs, vinegar, cotton, wool, yarn,
canned fruits, preserves, peaches in
alcohol, jelly and jam.
This was all produced on a farm of
120 acres, only 20 of which
woro worked. The products
were ail in good condition nol
withslandirig (lie fact that the
past season has been unfavorable. In
addition to thcabove list,Capt. Stinson
| ran shaWiii|tlWWw*wfS^WlP‘i. l
hugs of the beat quality. With such a
list as this how much will a man have
to buy for food ? Whenever a man
makes such * exhibition as this, lie
preaches a practical >crhwn on mr
gospel of agriculture. Would Dial
there were more men to take the
stump In behalf of diversified fanning.
This display ought to go to New Or
lcaus. Meridian is in the great pine
region* of eastern Mississippi.
