In conversation tin other day with
a merchant of this city, who, during
the war, was a member of the iisitnoi--
tal Stonewall brigade, he told llie bil
lowing, of which ho was an eye wit
ness:
In April, 1864, lie was one union ■
the hire. muni, r of ( • ■;: derate
prisoners confined al. Gamp Dougho
prison, the commandant ol wineli we
001. B. J. Sve • t, a Kind-lie,ir: and offi

news of the assassin.;:ion of t'i •side,it
liincoln was received, the i’.._r
lowered to half mast as a linn ' m r<
Hiinct; but owin;:' (o the greet licu'lff
of the staff, the banner, which was of
the largest rixe, was blown so 1 oat
that there was imimi: sin.::..; eof
the lanyard giving way, win u it
would come, down vath a run.

and a volunhe r •••.; e l !r- :n
among the guards to perform the pa
triotic service. The dang: r was great
and the commandant offered a .
charge from the service to the man
who would climb the giddy Ins .1.
With thin iudiismism. ay ting man
stepped forward and autumn id liis
readiness to male the attempt.
He was then ftr/nisls. 1 with a pah'
of log-guards, e; ml.limit;: eiuail, riinrp
projections, some: hing similar to lhose
worn by telegraph ootwlrocK e.'si-s
and with a stout belt buckled around
liis waist and encircling the flagstaff,
ho commenced the toilsome as..■ ut.
Slowly lie proceeded, stopping at in
tervals to tig;lit. :i th 1 win it '.Vs;
rendered neee. s:ry by the gradually
diminishing size of tin: mast. On
ward uud upward he went, with the
eyes of every man inside the walls
fired upon him with an eagerness al
most painful in its intensity. Still
the daring man continued, growing
smaller and smaller, until, from his
lofty altitude, ho seemed not larger
than a child. Ho had almost reached
the top, and reached out, liis hand to
seize the lanyard, which fluttered in
roach just above liis head. In an in
stant the cheers of thousands of anx
ious spectotors would break forth in
admiration and encouragement, when
the cord eluded If ; clasp be lots Im
balance and foil!—down with light
ning rapidity, tin belt tightening ev
ery inch of the way, until the tension
so great the faithless bund,
worn by rapid friction and the mo
mentum of descent, gave way. The
unfortunate fell headlong, striking
the platform at tlio boltoi i of the
flag-stuff, and crushing I brouglt the
heavy planking of which it was com
posed.
His horrified comrades at once ran
to bis assistance and picked up the
mangled form, but the injuries the
•unfortunate man bad sustained were
fatal, and lie died in a short time.
The commanant, though deeply re
gretting the accident, still wished the.
position of the flag changed, but the
tempting offer of five hundred, dollars
in greenbacks and a discharge from
tlio service could not. induce any of the
.garrison to make the attempt, with
the fate of their comrade si ill fresh in
their minds.
Col. Sweet then made the same
offer to tlio Confederate prisoners,
and one daring fellow, a young ar
tilervman, announced his willingness
to try the dangerous feat. The prop
er equipments wi re furnished, and
with steadfast nerve, lm slowly made
his way upward till bo reached the
top. The lanyard was removed from
the end of staff and secured properly
lower down,- when the Unshaken
Johnnie safely descended to terra
liriiia once more, when, with tlio com
mondati ms of the soldiers on duty as
well as of liis comrades, lie received
his discharge from prison and five
crisp §IOO greenbacks-—more than
sufficient to pay liis traveling expen
ses homo, while the flag floated at
half-mast in honor of the dead Presi
dent fanned by the bronzes from the
great Northern lakes. -Knoxville

Last year ho cut about 350 tons of
hay, all of which lie fed out, and some
seventy-five tons more.
The cattle are kept ill a sub-base

Sottlh Carolina’s Hope.
“Will you please toll us what we
can do ?” writes a white citizen and
; tax-paver of South Carolina, since the
| election of Mosc.s and \\ liippcr to tho
! bench. “Wo cannot loavo tho State
or we would do so in a body. IV o
I have nothing to subsist upon but our
| lauds, and wo cannot sell them, for
i purchasers shun South Carolina as
| they would a pestilence. Tell us
! what wo till.-ill do ?” Well, what an
| swer shall wo make? Wo know aomc
-1 thing of the political history of South
Carolina for the past tan years. It
i lias been of so unique a character that
i there are few intelligent persons in
the country who have not observed it
with interest as tlio development of a
j new political experiment. Wo have
seen a powerful political party which
! controlled all departments of tlio Gen
eral Government and a large majori
ty of all the States devoting its ut
i most energies to—what? lo pro
tecting the. property and lives of tlio
citizens of South Carolina who were
notoriously at tho mercy of a band of
thieves? By no means. Devoting
ivery of ca
ses in other Southern States wncrc
the class of people who have govern
ed and plundered South Carolina
were intimidated or bitutered iroin
the exercise of the privileges enjoyed
in that State. Ties party and its
leading statesmen have never given
South Caroliua a thought, ii Ma
under Republican rule and a “safe
State.” But they have plunged with
tlu ir marshals and deputy marshals,
their investigating committees, their
hors ~ foot and dragoons into every
! other Southern State whence came
! the most shadowy rumor that some
poor ignorant black man iiad been
intimidated from putting into the
i ballot-box a ticket which ho could
1 not readjimt. which some Federal of
fice-holder gave him. And now from
! South Carolina, prostrate under the
• rule of a worse lot of thieves and
highwaymen than ever got justioo
j from a vigilance committee, tuere
I comes the cry, “W hat shad wo do ?
Listen to it, Mr. Oliver P. Morton,
lof Indiana.. Listen to it, Republican
I leaders in Senate and House, and Re
publican Administration. Can you
do nothing to save the citizens of
South Caivlb-a froth being trampled
ii.i.l. r foot, outraged, and robbed by
; men of your party holding offices u ,; -.
- or Administration, strong for
I evil-doing only D < m your
i partv and recognized by you ? ILit
: Mr. 'Morton, leading Republican Si n
: a tor —possible Presidential candidate
I--has heard that down in Mbsissip
!pi a number of black persons were
; hindered from putting into the bal
lot-boxes pieces of paper they could
not road, in order to help into power
the sort of liie.n who have plundered j
'South Carolina. Mr. Morton must, j
alt-end to that. That must he inqmr-;
o<l into. A Republican Senate has no j
eves or cars for South Carolina.
' It iooks with all its eyes and listens
with all its ears in tlio direction 111.
Morton’s index linger points. “What
shall we do?’ calls out South Caio- .
linn from under the heel of the op-1
pressor, and these moil who have now :
and have had all tho time tho power j
to offer some help at leas t, are silent. |
They are thinking about Mississippi j
—and the next Presidential election, j
The appeal to them is nsolcss. What:
then ? * There is but one course left, !
and that calls for itidurance and pa- j
tient waiting. Appeal to the whole;
people, and if in November of next
year the people shall approve the ei e
el and brutal no-policy policy which ;
not only looks on calmly wliilo tlio i
robberies go on, but adds govern- !
incut patronage to the plunder why
then what is there to be done but to !
charge all up to profit and loss, move j
away and leave the negro, tho seals-;
wag and tho carpet-bagger to quar- j
i el over tho spoils ! |
But this will not bo. Tho people
o r the whole country know tlio wrongs
of South Carolina, and whatever tho
political complexion of the next, ad
ministration, wo may ho certain that
it will nof divide government patron
age among her oppressors. And wo
are confident that, the taking of Fed
eral patronage and the loss of the
prestige of administration influence
and support will not only cripple but
destroy them. Meantime, patience,
and let Mr. Morton continue to de
vote his energies t.o Mississippi inves
tigations.—N. Y. Tribune.
Tiiamps Cattube a Jeksey Village.
—Five of a gang of eighteen tramps
have just been lodged in the belvidere
(New Jersey) jail. Last week they
visited in bands of four and five each
the houses of the laboring population,
and finding only women at home,
made themselves masters of the situ
ation. Houses were broken into, and
every portable article they could lay
their hands on t-licv carried away with
them. Many of tlio women were
grossly insulted by the rowdies. They
approached a saloon in the town, but
found the doors barred against them.
The proprietors discharged a gun at
the marauders, and they next sur
rounded tlm house of Justice Temple,
where they demanded ‘■'blood or mon
ey.” A tarty of the vilngers armed
them lv. mid started out to put an
end to tl :■ raid. They captured five
of tin in, mid the feeling they aroused
was so bitter that it was only with
difficulty that-tho outraged villagers
were prevented from laying violent
j hands on 'hem and banging them to

A
Morton and Bayard.
[Coiroßpomleneo nf tlic World. 1
Tlio general dreariness was never
more completely exemplified than in
tho Senate during tho delivery of
Morrill’s speech on the currency ques
tion. The whole thing looked like a
solemn farco. The speaker stooped
l over a manuscript spread out on liis
! desk and read with due emphasis and
| earnestness his carefully prepared es
say, to which liis colleagues paid no
; more attention than they might to the
whistling of the east wind. Conkliug
sat back on a sofa chatting with a
friend and paring liis nails; Ivernan
busied himself with a book; Morton
left liis seat, where, by the aid of a
sort of stationary crutch, he is now
enabled to rise when lie addresses the
Senate; a tall, thin gentleman, with
an empty sleeve, whom wo took for
Powell Clayton, fitted to and fro rest
lessly; and General Burnside, in the
most exquisitely fitting and most !
closely buttoned coat that ever left a ;
tailor's fingers, promenaded tho floor,
the cynosure of the ladies’ gallery,
notwithstanding the fact that his once
gorgeous whiskers arc now grayer j
than the uniform of the man he met
at Fredericksburg. "When you look j
down at such a scene youinvoluntari-!
!y whisper to tho friend at your el- (
bow: “Is this Senatorial oratory ?" I
’When I put the question it was an- j
swered with the remark: “You should
have heard Bayard’s speech in answer
to Morton. The tilt between those j
champions is talked of us one briliiant
episode iu a prosy session. There!
seems to be a natural antagonism be
tween the two men, and it is not j
strange that they have often clashed !
since the former came into the Sen-!
ate. It would be difficult to find a j
more complete contrast, mentally and ;
physically, than they form. Bayard
is frank, generous, eloquent. His
form is tlio perfection of manly grace,
and liis face suggests stuffy, pure mo
tives, great designs. There is not the ;
trace of a mean sentiment in it. In [
a word, ho looks as noble as his name ;
and is one of tho few who carry with
them the idea of g-vnt goodness and '
power.

is coining into use, which is composed i
of two quarts of oats, one of bran ;
and half pint of flaxseed. The oats |
are first placed in the stable bucket,
over which is placed t.lio linseed,

covering the mixture with an old rug
mid allowing it to rest for live hours;
then tho mass is. stirred up. The
bran absorbs while retaining the va

Lunched Ashes.
The theory of your correspondent
on leached ashes, does not ngreo with
my experience (I have reference to
j wood ashes only.) I am no chemist,
j hut have lmd some experience with
lashes, both touched and uidcached, ns
a fertilizer. I will simply give it as
!my opinion that there is something
j besides potash that gives leached
' ashes value as n fertilize; and my ron
j son for my opinion is that I have
j found leached ashes so nearly equal
as a fertilizer to those unleaclied, and
that ago and exposure d<i not increase
the value of leached ashes. Sixteen
yours ago I used a pile of leached
ashes that had lain over thirty years, j
having been leached for black salts by :
my father when ho first cleared the
fane. I applied them as a top dress- j
ing for wheat, and seeded with (into- i
thy and clover in March following the •
field was used for a meadow a few i
years, and lias been used as a past lire |
ever since.
mi /v* i nil V 1....... 1
The effect of the ashes was beyond
my expectation, both for the wheat
’ and grass, and is notice able yet in tho
linn sward mid the closeness with
! which it is grazed by the stock. My
success with leached ashes induced
I mo to make some experiments with
! nuleached. Supposing as J. L. C.
j does, that potash was all that gave
I them value, I reasoned that one bush
el of unleaclied would lie equal to ten
or fifteen of leached, and top dressed
my wheat accordingly. Iu this, liow
j ever, I was mistaken; tlio result did
1 not prove as satisfactory, and al
though I consider them valuable if
properly used, 1 have never received
! so satisfactory a result from their use
as from the use of leached ashes. For
! the past six years 1 have used about
1,000 bushels a year of leached ashes
■ou ray farm for various crops, and
can recommend it as ono of tlio best
! fertilizers that, I have ever used. It

An Essay on Girl.
Gill is very vice. Everybody who ,
has not the misfortune to be girl will
allow this. Nice girl will allow it al
so as far as itself is concerned. Strange
girl is objectionable iu tho eyes of girl
generally.
Powder improves girl sometimes,
but it seldom finds this out until it is
suggested to it by one of experience.
Healthy git! costs its parents lets
money for doctor’s bill, but persons
who write romantic talcs for circulat
ing libraries choose unhealthy and
pasty-faced girl to write about—the
swooning kind preferred.
Lately I bought sixpenny worth of
illustrated journals and I found there
in ten pictures illustrative of girl in a
swooning state. I hope it was all
real, or else there ought to have been
a lot of smacking all around.
If I were hot boy I think I should
like to bo girl. It’s best fun to be
boy when thore’s plenty of girl about.
