A NARRATIVE OF MILITARY OPERATIONS
DIRECTED BY GEN. JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON
DURING THE LATE WAS,
This book, written by Oeiieral Johnston,
is now offered to the publio, and will
do'ubtless prove ode of the most thrillingly
interesting Works ever offered to the
Southern public, and particularly to the
j Southern soldiers that was under his com
| inand. Though concisely written, it ern
j braces every material fact iu regard to his
1 operations. To his soldier boys it will
awaken many sad as Veil as pleasing
reminiscences. It will turn bnck the irages
of memory and present vividly to the
recollection the many battlefields, the
manycomradesfti.rl co-sufferers that fell
: and is no more; the many hard conflicts,
j the weary marches through rain and
j shine, Cold and heat; and the croakers
behind the army and out of danger should
carefully rend his truthful statement, and
iu it behold the inilietflity of their criti
cisms and their wanton and unjustifiable
persecutions of this great commander.
This book is now offered by Sir. O. T
Terry, our townsman and fellow citizen,
the agent for the publishers, who w ill sell
it at publishers prices.
We take pleasure in recommending it to
our readers as a correct history of the war,
as to the Operations conducted by the
author. It will prove an interesting and
| valuable history and one that w ilt sell
! rapidly. Call nt, once and see Mr. Terry,
and examine the prospectus and subscribe

Apropos of the' ' 'Wom-m's Movement”
j —we have no doubt the following is true.
E very observing man has seen similar
“conversions au<l deplored tliefh.
A HA I ) ONE.
The Troy Praying Band have just
closed a Season of prayer here, and suc
ceeded in gathering many converts to the
Methodisf belief. Among those converts
was one, a party of the female persuasion
\ and French extraction, who became im
pressed with the spirit and was loud in
i her protestations of her sinfulness, Arc.
She was a little late in gettingltopie, and
] in (life morning' her aged grandfather asked
lier the ciitise of her being out so late.
She replied, very respectfully, that it was
none of his d—(arned, 1 suppose) business,
and therewith threw ut him the tea kettle
which was "full' of hot water, and the cover
coming off the fepttle, a stream'of hot; wa
ter flew from the spout. Ihe result of
t his little experiment was a decided success.
To-day the old gentleman wears an oil
plaster of Spmfe description all over the
left side of his dear old face, and' one of j
his hands looks like a sauce-plate full of
wilted-cabbage. But our ungel did' not
cease there with her pleasant little manip
ulations. Khe had more of the good
work to perform: Her married sister who 1
lived in the other part of the house, hur
ried in to see what the row was, and was j
immediately set upon by bur new concert. .
At the close of the interview, the married
sister’s face looked like a map of the south
ern confederacy, and she lkjw wears a red
woolen rag around her throat to help her
respiration. The brother of the seraph,
aged nine, came in for a lick from the)
skimmer, too, before dinner, for she lath- j
ered blazes out of him because he told her
father that “Sis hung over the gate last |
night for more’n an hour, talkin’ with
Zeb.”
The New York Tribune says that the j
National Treasury is so economically ;
managed that when a barrel wears out the |
bung-hole is sent the cooper’s for e
-pairs.
Frightened by Their Mother’s Ghost
About U o’clock bust .night the vicinity
of Tenth and Market streets was suddenly
thrown into a couunotioii by the weeping
of two young Indies who had rushed from
their residence into the street. A large
crowd had quickly gathered, and had so
encircled the ladies that it was with a
good deal of difficulty that a Timex repor
ter gained the interim of the circle, where
he found hiihself face to face with both,
who were weeping bitterly and appeared
very much excited. One of the ladies is
about nineteen years of age, and the other
is quite a girl about ton. On being
questioned by the reporter concerning, the
cause of their trouble, the elder stated
that she was sitting in the room, faeiug
the street, when her sister turned around
and saw a white form making motions
through the window from the back yard.
She immediately started up, and, on look
ing through the window, saw the form
outside, going through a kind of vacilla
ting motion, as though beckoning some
one to come away. They were so terribly ;
frightened that they rushed into the street
and by their loud cries, attracted the atten
tion of the crowd.
The reporter subsequently learned that !
Miss Manker was the elder lady's name, I
and that she has been frequently thrown i
inti) an alarming state by the appearance
of this form. He also heard that since ;
the death of her mother, three years ago'
its appearance has been the cause of keep
ing her in continual dread. She and her
sister sat ou the dbor step of a neighbor
ing house and refused to go buck to their ,
room until their father, who was out, had
returned. About half-past nine the father
arrived mid found them weeping on the
door step. He led them back to the house
and having closed the door, laid a good
talk about the mysterious visitor. -St.

Profits trf 1 a Gallon of Whisky.
The following calculations were made
I after consultation with several prominent
I dealers, both wholesale and retail.
Whisky, though sold in barrels, is paid for
iby the gallon. There are three general
classes of customers- those who intend to
] sell a good quality of liqour at 15c a glass;
those wlo intend to sell a reasonably good
qunility at 10c; and those who for the lat
ter price make a practice of palming oft'
the cheapest compound that call bo made
to resemble whisky. The three kinds
purchased w ill average in price $4, 62.50
| and 81.25 per gallon respectively. To the
i best whisky about one-eight of its qnanti
jtv is added. Thus the saloon-keeper con
verts his gallon of thirty-two gills into
thirty-six gills. The average drink is
j about half a gill. Reckoning, then, sev
enty-two drinks at fifteen cents a drink,
the gross receipts for a gallon arc 810.80.
Substraeting the cost given above, there
j remains a profit of 80.80, or 170 per cent
|of the cost. This per centage is not so
lunch a year, let it lie remembered, lmt is
made as Often fii the year as the stock can
he turned.
Men who buy whisky at ten cents a glass
will pour in about two thirds of a gill with
! one-eighth addition of water. The profits
■ will be found to bis 62 00, or 110 per cent,
of the cost; Tho cheapest whisky is wa
tered at least one-fifth, and then adulter
ated with pepper and other ingredients to
' restore its strength. This gives thirty
nine gills. Reckoning three-quarters of
a gill as the average drink of the class Which
consumes it, there will be found the enor
mous profit over the original cost of 8f 25
a gallon of 85 25, or 420 per cent.—-V. V.

Fat Meat for Consumptives. V 'said
for fat meat is unfortimely not universal
among children, but Wlieii it shows itself
it is often universally repressed by r p,irents.
This taste is anotln r expression of the
wants of the living system which we can
not disregard with impunity. Without
fats the organism can not be built up in
perfection. Fats counte 1-act. the tendency
to consumption. Observation Ims estab
lished the fact that persons who in early I
life show a taste for fat meat seldom fall |
victims to that disease; and, vim versa, j
that consumptives have generally shown j
an early repugnance to such food. There j
can be no question as to the lesson taught j
by this fact—that when tho appetite ex
ists it ought to be indulged, and that it j
ought, if possible, to be created, when j
wanted, by tonics, and- abundant exercise
in the open aif.
