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."

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.

When the range is two utiles, the track of a shell from a mortar describes very near half the area 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 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 nel.

Taking n general view Of the present- sy??- 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.

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 ence in an article of fowl, it is her option whether the use at It Is continued or not. The test rnny be a simple one, but hy its nieoiis the unsuspecting find that cans of "Baking Powder" stomped on the cover "Absolutely Pure,??? contain ammonia, nml certainly no refined person who has once rend some reliable authority on ammonia would be likely bring home for use an article containing so infer! a substance.

D., subject NEW YORK???S GREAT CHEMIST, R. Ogden Doremus, M. D., LL. D. BELLEVUE HOSPITAL MEDICAL COLLEGE, Mav 24th I8&I. 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??? Professor of Chemistry and Toxicology in the ???New York Bellevue Hospital Medical College,??? and Professor Chimistry and Physics in the College of the City of New York. THE "ROYAL" AND "ANDREWS'PEARL??? CONTAIN AMMONIA. Housekeepers Test. 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. DOES NOT CONTAIN AMMONIA. E.
