Harrison declines to discuss with

If there is an ex-coufedcratc soldier
i xvho can read the account of a late
meeting between Gordon and Long-

Hill, Gordon, Ewell anil Longstreet,
as these men fought hnck the lines of
blue at the Wilderness; the appear
ance of Longstreet at a critical mo
ment, followed by 10,000 half clothed,
half starved heroes (every mail of
them), makes a picture which, even
yet, thrills the heart; if there is an
ex-confederate, we repeat, who can
read this sketch, without a quickening
of his pulse, and a tear for lamgstrect

arc sorry for him.

THE LECONTE PEAR.
How It Rates and Ranks in New York and
St. Louis.
Dixie Nursery, )
Tiiomasvh.i.k, CiA.jScpt. : 2, '89 j
Ki>. Timks-E.nikkitusk : While in
New York recently, I made it a point
to inquire very closely as to the merits
0! the I.eConte pear, as viewed by
dealers and growers in that section. 1
was anxious to find out if the fruit was
gaining favor with the dealers and
consumers 1 tound but 011c opinion:
that the I.eContes arc steadily advanc
irg in the scale of merit and populari
ty, and notwithstanding the ovcnvlirlni-
ing fiuit crop this year, the ti uit is in
pressing demand, more so than at any
period of its history, and more so than
any other pear. I tound one man,
Mr. G. 1, Sands, one ot the levelevl-
hc.aded men in the fruit business, who
admitted that he had made a great
mistake in rejecting the LeContc,
which lie did when it was first intro
duced in that market. Such is the
feeling of many fruit dealers in New
York. “O ye ol little faith."
H. II. Sanford.
In connection with the above, we
take the following from the Farmer
and Fruit Grower, in reference to this
subject:
“We have received so many letters
in reference to the LeContc pear from
various parties in the south, many of
them residing in Florida, that we desire
to say through a medium that reaches
so many interested—your journal —
that up to this season we were unable
to offer anything satisfactory with ref
ence to its value or success in tiiis
market. So far this season such an
abundance of the LeContc lias been
offered here that the dealers and con
sumers have had ample opportunity to
judge of its merits. The general ver
dict has been decidedly favorable,
much more so than we anticipated.
It is true the LeContc does not com
pare with the Bartlctte or five or six
other well known varieties hero we
might name, in taste, texture or flavor,
but it is so large and showy that it
catches the average buyer, and its
success has been marked. Yesterday
we fairly tested its value side by side
with our most favored variety, the
Bartlett. We had twenty barrels of
the LeContc fiom an Alabama shipper
and a similar number ot barrels, nice
Bartlctts, from a Missouri grower.
The LeContc all sold at $3.10 a bar
rel and the Bartlette at $2.75. 'Fhe
result was something of a surprise to
us. We did not expect to see any
variety beat the Bartlett. However,
we cannot assure shippers that the
LeContc will remain in the ascendency
or remain as attractive as the other
lavored varieties here, but our experi
ence so lar this season convinces us
that it will always do well here, better
than the average good pear.”

Be Kind to the Old Horse.
From the Timcs-l'nioi. Jacksonville.
Mr. Min ter I’. Key, the energetic
agent of the Washington City Humane
Society, lias recently written lor the
Host of that city, a poem, from which
the following verses arc taken. It is
entitled “The Appeal of the Old
Horse
O, driver, I am weary —
Withhold your whip I yiay :
1 ft.o the very h.-t ! van
Throughout tlie livt-lon.; »l;iy.
Your mix*l nccdU'jft* lushing,
With such a rcckles- hand.
Which makes my poor ik-sh quiver,
Id more than I cm stand.
o, well do 1 remember
The place where I was born ;
The green grass of the meadow,
Un dear old master’s farm;
The children gathered 'round me
With many a fond caress.
lint now no word is spoken
To soothe my deep distress.
They brought me to the city,
And now my poor old bones
Must trudge o'er concrete pavement •
And over cobblestones,
No clover for my pillow,
All flecked with dairies while.
But in a dark old stable
1 pass the dreary night.
•
u, driver, 1 am weary ;
I know th*: time is nigh
When, in sonic barren pasture field
They'll turn me out 10 die;
Then in some dusky hollow
.Shall be my lonely grave,
But those who knew me best will say,
“Ik* Was a faithful clave."
The surest test of a low, base-born,
cowardly nature, is that which exhib
its cruelty to the poor, dumb, friend
less creatures, whose very helpless
ness touches every brave and gene
rous heart.”
A man who will beat and abuse an
old horse, one which has performed
good, patient service for years, is a
brute. We have, infinitely, more
respect for the tottering old horse,
than for such a man.—(Ed.)

W. I). Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., testi

the very best remedy. Every bottle sold
has given relief in every case. One man

druggist, Bcllvill, Ohio affirms; “The best
selling medicine I have ever handled in my
20 years’ experien. e, is Electric Bitters.”
