BIOORAPHtCAI, SKETCH OP TIIE COIl-
1.1 SS EN1HNE OF THE ATLANTA
CONSTITUTION.
Alliens Manner; Sleeting up
with an old veteran of the Troupe
Artillery the other day, we asked
him (f be knew Bill Hemphill, ol the
Gonstition?
“Do you call sleeping under the
s&me blanket with a fellow for four
rears, chewing tough beef from the
same bone, tramping all day
through sunshine and snow by his
Revolution ” Oliver & Oliv er

side, and wading through the same
pools of gore knowing a fellow? I
should think that Bill and I were
pretty well acquainted. Will ho
light? Well, I should blush to
snicker. He will light anything
from a yellow-jacket’s nest to live
lines of Yanks, and I have never
Hgen him flicker. He is just as
cool in a battle ns when be Is nego
tiating with some legislator to pub
lish his speech in the Constitution
at so much a line. Bill was always
sorter piously inclined, and when
lie drew a real good bead on a line
of Fcderals, he said; “May the
Lord have mercy upon those in
fernal house-burning scoundrels!"
before' lighting the fuse.
There was only one spot that
Hemphill was a little weak on, and
that was the girls. He would march
all day, and when we struck camp
at night, if there was a gal in ten
milos of it Bill would And it out
and call on her. In fact he tyas a
regular “masher” with the fair sex,
and the boys said, when no one was
present to tell better he passed off
for a general. While the rest of
us were lying around the camp
ohasing graybacks and chewing
hardtack, Hemphill wns sprucing
up to some good looking country
gal and feasting on fried chicken
and biscuits. Bill always had a
hankering after a square meat, and
it struck me that his heart was
located in his stomach, and he bad
an eye more to the kitchen than the
buxom lasses that he set up to.
The consequence was that Bill kept
in fine keltcr all through the war,
and it wasn’t at the expense ofthc
government cither. He would fall
in love with and court anything,
from a toothless old maid down to
a three days’ widow, just so the
chiokcn crop looked all right when
he marched by the house. He
would divide his last mouthful with .
a comrade, however, and when j
rations were scarce would turn
over his share to the mess and re
mark,'Well,I willskirmish around j
a littie to-night and sec if I can .

The following seems to be almost
too interesting and valuable to bo
true; but coming as it docs from
the editor of the Sharon (Mass.)
Advocate, with the statement that
tho method has worked well, un
failingly in his own experience for
two years, 't is certaialy worthy of
attention and experiment. The
theory has been that the preserva
tion of fruits iu tightly scaled cans,
resulted from the exclusion of the
