A Ooxrkdkiutc Eoo-Nooo.???One cold, cloudy
Christmas day, when tho prospect* of the con
federacy were as gloomy as the weather, an
Arkansiiw "solider, whose clothes looked as
though they had been run through a threshing
machine, approached General Hindman, who
sat on a stump near a fire, and said:
Mineral, wouldn???t a little aignog go putty
well this inornin'? You know, in Arkansaw
we allers cilibrate Christmas with a little o*
the stuff."
???Yes," the general replied, ???and I should
like to have a quart of it right now."
???Wall, let???s go to your tent, whar nobody
ken see us, on??? we???ll make some 'rangc-
ments."
When they entered the tent, the soldier said:
???You git the whisky, and I???ll git the nigs an???
sugar."
???All right."
The soldier went away, and after a while,
with dejected countenance, he returned with
the information that sonic one had stolen the
???ortieklc*." ???I???m devilish sorry," said he
???for I???ve been er savin??? them things fur yer
benefit for a long time, knowin* how n nignog
would strike yer Christmas day."
???That is bad," said the general, ???and if I
could discover thief, he should be punished
Stay lieje, and let inn go nut find skirmish."
The general, after much difficulty, succced<
in securing the ingredients, and ore long
bowl of the frothing drink was prepared.
???Ah," said the soldier, refilling his tin cup
the third time, ???this tastes like old times,
when I uster gel up nforo day an' fire off tho
old fusee. Put two men???s bund* together,
anthiii* isgoin??? ter happen."
Shortly after the soldier left the tent, Colone
Hob Newton, chief of Hindman's staff", entered
and said:
???Do you remember old Dave Aiekctt, who
used to run n flotbont on White rifer?"
???Yes, lie was here a few moments ng??
???Ho came to mo this morning," the colone
continued, ???and begun to talk about ogff-tiogg,

soon, ami sorrowfully niitioiineed that someono

notable names on the death list in the past few

There was a time when the name of Mansfield
Lovell was on a groat many lips in Gotham.
When the troiihle between north ami south was
reaching its explosive stnge, he held tho office
of deputy street eotiimiNaiouer, with power
similar to those now lodged in the departmeiit
of public works. His service in the Mexican

he had strong southern sympathies, nml he
made no effort to conceal them. When the ex
plosion finally came, ho threw up his office
ami sturted south?? to offer his sword to the
confederacy. Hi* departure gave rise to n
great deal of talk about treason, ami the name
and doings of Mansfield Lovell wore in the
najieni almost daily. He was warmly welcomed
in the south nml had not Wen long there, when
lie was placed in chief euminam! at Vickabnrg.
He took nti active part all through the war,
and when it was ov??i he tried to make a living
by rice planting near Savannah. After a few
year*, however, he drifted hack to New York.
The threats to hang him were forgotten, hut
New York had changed a good deni, and
Lovell found it difficult to get another start.
Genera! Newton finally gave it to him by
making him his chief nsididant at tho engineer
ing works of the Hnritnn river. As a soldiei
he was hotter equipped with dash than discre
tion; hut the reputation lie had made in
Mexico was well sustained in the south, and
his record at the close of the war was free from
blemish. His funeral whs attended by

which will not only repay |??crusal, hut gin
valuable information on ?? subject very htth
known outside of military circles:
???At night we can see the path of a shell
through %U its journey, lighted as it is by the
burning fuse. When the range is two utiles,
the track of a shell from a mortar describes
very near half the area of a circle. On leaving
the mortar it gracefully moves on, climbing
up ami up into the heavens, till it is uearlv or
quite a mile aUore the earth, ami then it gfides
along for a moment apparently in a horizontal
line; hut ouickly you ?????*<??? that' the little fiery
orb is on tin* home stretch, describing the other
segment of a circle. A shell from a Parrot
rifled gun in going one and a half miles de
viates from a straight line not quite as much as
a shell from a mortar. Hut iu passing over the
space considerable time is required. The re
port travels much faster than the shot. A
shell from a luortar will make a distance of
two mile* in about thirtv seconds, and from a.
Parrot gun in about half tlial time. The flash
of a gun at night, aud the white smoke by dav,
indicate the moment of the discharge, and fif
teen or twenty seconds give an abundance of
time to find a cover iu a spinier proof, behind
a trench or Homrthing else. It is wise and
soldierly to do so, but many pay no at
tention to those hissing, screaming, flying in
the day time, if shot from a gun, invisible
devils, except to crock jokes at his expense;
ami occasionally one pa vs his life for his fool
hardiness."
A War Story.???Henry Savage, one of the
Soldiers' Home veterans, tells tho following
thrilliug story of a war incident}
Tho oft-mooted question, ???Was ever n
desjieralely woulded soldier shot dead, at his
own earnest solicitation, by a comrade?" is
answered in the affirmative by your humble
servant. It happened os follows: Tho writer,
a member of G company, First Dataware iutan-
try, was then attached to tho Third brigade
(Weber???s), Second edrop* (Hummer???s). After
wading through Antietarn creek pluingini
througe plowed fields, stubblely located
within plain view of tho enemy, when the
welcome command rang along the line to ???load
and fire at will." It was then that our daily
target practice at Fortress Monroe came into
excellent use, as many a |??oor devil of the
Sixth Alabama learned to his cost. After firing
n rounds tho writer was wounded and
ordered to tho rear. While retreating in good
order, but making most excellent time his
route led him through a portion of the Irish
brigade. Here he saw n sight that capped the
climax of horror. A ineinher of that devoted
brigade was aimlessly stumbling around with
both cm shot out, begging some one, ???for the
love of God," to put en end to his misery. A
lieutenant of the Fourth New York was passing
>y, ami seeing the poor fellow???s condition ami
hearing his appeal, he asked if he really meant
what he said.
Oh, ye-, comrade,??? was the reply, ???I can
not possibly live, and my agony is unendur
able."
Without another word the officer drew his
pistol, placed it to the victim???s right ear, turn
ed a wav his head, and pulled the trigger. A
half wheel, a convulsive grasp, and one more
poor unfortunotc had passed over to the silent
majority.
???It was better thus," said the lieutenant,
replacing his pistol and turning toward the
writer, "for the imor fellow could "
dust then a solid shot took the lieutenant's
head off', and the ???subsequent proceedings in
terested him no more.???'???Milwaukee Senti

Wariiixotost, June 10.???The returns of the
cotton planting, inode to the department of
agriculture, indicate a tendency to an Increase
of acreage, checked somewhat in the south
west by rains and inundations, and in North
Carolina and Tennessee by low temperature in
the planting season. Replanting was still in

The temperature of April was lower than
the average throughout tho cotton states.
The ruiiifull was deficient on the
Atlantic coast aud slightly less than
normal in the gulf states, hut the rains were
excessive in May throughout the southwest,
causing overflows of rivers, injuring the stands
everywhere, nml causing a lurge amount of re
planting. The latter part of May was warm
and clear on n considerable portion of the At
lantic const, causing u rapid growth, affording
opportunity for thorough weeding and clean
cultivation. In the west tho fields ore grassy
and chopping out is not yet finished. The
season is oite to two weeks late. Tho plants
nre generally thrifty and vigorous. Tho mam
cause of tho relatively low condition is want of
size, which a few weeks of fine weather may
remedy, yet the continuance of had weather
would now he disastrous. Beyond the Missis

soii within tlm cotton licit, It will* bo found
from the returns, that in nil that i*vc-
tion cast of tho thirteenth meridian
west from Washington, which passes New
Orleans and Jackson, Mississippi, an area-of
10,706,000 acres, and embracing Virginia,
North Carolina, Houtli Carolina, Georgia, Flo
rida, Alabama, Tennessee, ami a large part of
the bottom lauds of Mississippi, an early
spring, though wet and cold, wus followed hy
a dry Mnv, while the range of the thermome
ter, though quite unfavorable, was higher tlmn
last year. Planting was late, but pretty
good stands were obtained. Fields
were well cultivated in May, and are com
paratively free from grass,??? and lands arc
inollow. Timely rains would go far to com
pensate for the lateness of planting. This area,
though embracing about 84 per cent of the
cotton acreage in tho south, produced only
about 63 per cent of the crop in 1882-83. West
of Util Jiue of longitude, embracing
the bottom land* of Mississippi and
ull Arkansas, Louisiana nml Texas, an area of
913,000 acres, producing 47 per cent of the
crop in 1882-83, the sea sob has been extremely
tmfavorable. The rainfall throughout the
spring has been excessive, retarding planting
from two to four weeks, injuring the stands,
overflowing the bottoms, washing up the
???ung plants that camo up and setting
tdds in grass. A worse condition has pre
vailed iu Texas. Replanting 1ms been ro-
???orted t<> largely, but in Texas the flooding
rains of Juno???2d to June 4th, have tlirowu
back the work so that seeding is still going
ha general condition of this area is therefore
cry unfavorable. Arkansas is presenting the
best chances for an average crop. Tuking the

irtmt In Ammonia?
The attention of the public has been called Ire
fluently ollateto the subject *f "ammonia in food,"
and the matter is being so vigorously agitated that
It necctearily arouses the curiosity of the public at
large, and leads them to ascertain, II possible, what
Is JtaJJ about. In the first place the question arises,
what Is ammonia? Wjicnce comes it?
Quoting "United State* Dispensatory." "It was
g roUibly originally prepured from putrid urine.???
ther sources are "coal soot, stole urine, guano,
etc.??? The "Kncycloptedfa lirittomileu??? says of it:
Carbonntcofatnmoiiiaisobtoinedin largest quan
tities br the putrefaction o! the urine of animals,
or the dry distillation of animal matter." "lb??h-
coe???s Chemistry??? states that "when horns, or clip
pings of hides are heated, ammonia is given off;
nence ammonia wua known as spirits o( hartshorn."
"The name of ammonia Is derived from the fact
that a compound containing ammonia was first
prepared by heating camels??? dung." "Ammonia
Is mainly obtained from the ummoniocal liquors of
gasworks." Guano, the dried excrement ot tea
birdr, and the urine of animals, likewise contain
huge quantities ot ammonia.??? Farmers know its
value os a fertilizer, and physicians know its value
as a counter-irritant and powerful stlmulent, All
physicians class it among drugs, and ns a drug It Is
a question whether It is not better to let It remain
in the hands of physicians and druggists, and le ive
It out of our food. A recent article, called "A
Baking Powder Trick," condemns as a scheme
trick the simple method which ha* been givv.
through these columns, whereby a housewife mu
ascertain, without the aid of chemists or chemical
apparatus, whether she Is using an article free
from disgusting ingredients; nml after once con-
f the true source of ammonia, and Its pres-
vlnccd

the use at It Is continued or not. The test rnny be
a simple one, but hy its nieoiis the unsuspecting

certainly no refined person who has once rend some

DR. V. C. I RICK, President of the Price Baking Powder Co. Chicago,
III.: Sir???This is to certify that I have analyzed ???Dr. Price???s Cream
Baking Powder.??? I find it is composed of pure materials, and com
pounded on correct scientific principles. I have also analyzed the ???Royal
Baking Powder,??? and instituted a comparison between the two.
Tiie ingredients of ???Dr. Price???s Cream Baking Powder" are purer
than those of the Royal. The ???Royal Baking Powder,???'
when heated, yields sufticient AMMONIA to be de
tected by sense of SMELL, and PLAINLY DISCOVKRED IN BIS
CUITS OR CAKES MADE THEREI-ROM. This AMMONIA is
derived from IMPURITIES in the ???Royal Baking Powder.???
As the chief aim of a Baking Powder is to produce a HARMLESS
GAS, which will give porosity to the bread, biscuits, or cakes made
therefrom, ???Dr. Prices Cream Baking Powder??? in this respect also sur-
passes the Royal.
I have examined biscuits from the two powders, and prefer those
made from ???Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder,??? for the following rea
sons:
ist. The materials in ???Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder??? are
purer than any of the ???Royal Baking Powder,??? and therefore MORE
WHOLESOME.
2d. The ingredients are more accurately and scientifically propor
tioned, hence bread cr biscuits prepared with them are better suited for
digestion.
3d. The yield of carbonic acid gas is greater, therefore the biscuits
are lighter.
In my opinion ???Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder??? is superior to the
???Royal Baking Powder" in every respect.
I have the honor to remain yours respectfully,
R. OGDEN DOREMUS, M. D??? L.L. D???

THE "ROYAL" AND "ANDREWS'PEARL??? CONTAIN AMMONIA.

Place a can of ???Royal??? or ???Andrews Pearl" top down on a hot stove until
heated, then remove the cover, and smell. A chemist will
not be required to detect the presence of Ammonia.
