“STONEWALL” AND THE CADETS.
11 “l*REBE” RELATES Ills EXPERIENCE
AT WEST POINT-END OF A PRAC¬
TICAL JOKE.
My introduction to “Stonewall”
Jackson, when I was a cadet and
fourth class man, is as follows: In
September Maj. Jackson returned
from his summer leave of absence,
was at his post preparing the second
class for its course in applied mech¬
anics. I was, in cadet parlance, “a
plebe,” had been in school about a
month, and had heard from the old
cadets wonderful stories of Maj.
Jackson’s strictness in adhering to
discipline. One day about 10 a. m.,
as I was going to my quarters from
the class room, I was hailed by an
officer, as I supposed, and called in¬
to a room on the second stoop of the
barracks. There I found several ca¬
dets, dressed in bine coats, with
swords and sashes. The one who hail¬
ed me said rather sharply to a secre¬
tary, who was seated by a table and
busily writing, “Make out that rc.
quisition and send it by this plebe to
the quartermaster, and you fellow,
take it to that office,” pointing to a
room. “Get the officer there to sign
it, and then go up to town and bring
what it calls for. Be quick about it,
I must have it here before dinner
roll call.”
I touched my cap, as I bad been
taught when I spoko or was spoken
to by an officer, and walked briskly
to the door of the room that bad
been designated. I knocked, a cadet
opened the door, and asked what I
wanted, I informed him that I had
a paper for the officer in there. He.
took in the situation, and allowed
me to enter. I walked up to ^he offi¬
cer, who was seated on a rostrum,
looking at a book before him. Before
he had time to raise his eyes, I had
doffed my cap and was presenting
my requisition in as polite a manner
as I could.assume, lie took the pa¬
per, gave it a hasty glance, and with¬
out changing countenance, pointed
to a bench near him and ordered me
to wait until he dismissed the class.
The cadets who were not at the
blackboards gave me significant
looks, and witli difficulty concealed
their merriment.
I was wofully uncomfortable, but
kept my seat until the recitation was
concluded and class dismissed. The
officer or instructor then addressed
me with a kind, pleasant smile cn his
face. “Do you know what this pa¬
per contains?” I had risen from the
seat I occupied and stood before him
cap in hand; in reply to his question,
I told him how it came into my pos¬
session, and what I was ordered to
do with it. That I did not know one
half the officers, and as the gentle¬
man who gave me the order wore a
blue coat, sash, and sword, I suppos¬
ed he had authority. He said lie did
not censlire me at all, that the cadets
were in the habit of quizzing the
newcomers, and some one was play¬
ing a joke on me. The order I
brought was a bogus requisition for
high heeled socks, pickled crowbars,
and a box of Spex’ best cigars. I bad
not dared to opc-n the order, and
when advised of its absurd nature
my embarrassment was painful, lie
observed this, and to relieve me ask¬
ed how long I bad been at the insti¬
tute, from what part of the state I
hailed, etc. Ilis manner before the
class was stern, he sat erect with his
coat buttoned to tin; chin, but now
lie was kind and pleasant, and I shall
never forget Jackson.—Thomas my first encounter with M.
Stonewall

Slack Times.
The lawyers complain of slack bus
ness, the miners of slack water, the
merchants of slack trade and the sa¬
loon men of slack thirst; in fact,
there is a general slackness visible
all around. But the moon shines
bright, and the soughing boughs of
the trees bend to catcb the whisper¬
ed accents of the old, old story, the
white tombs listen silently to tales
of love, while the lumber piles lie
still and bear with painful weariness
the continued smack smackness that
splits the moonlit air like the target
practice of a rifle company. Life
has some sweets even in dull times.

At Sunnyside, seven miles above
Griffin, on the Central railroad, lives
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Ramsey. By
tbeir economy and frugality they
had saved a nice little sura to sus
tain them in their old age. Mr. Rain
sey is depot agent at Sunnyside. His
iiouse is about 100 yards from the
depot. Here for a number of years
ho and his wife have lived Happily
togethei, surrounded by their friends
and neighbors. 1 liree years ago Mr-.
Ramsey counted up the money she
had saved at odd tunes and it amount
ed to $350. It was jquite a nice lit¬
tle sum, and she was at a loss to
know what to do with it. She was
afraid of banks and she did not want
to loan it out. Finally she changed
it into $20 gold pieces and buried it
in her hack yard under the chickea
coop. Here for three years, unknown
to anyone hut herself and husband,
the bright gold pieces lay in inotner
earth. Ocensoinally she would re¬
move the earth and see that her
treasure was safe. The last time she
examined the place was just after the
last snow, when the money was found
in its right place and uncouched. A
few days ago Mrs. Ilainsey looked
again to see if her money was safe,
and to her great surprise it was gone
Upon examination fresh dirt was
seen around the place, and parties
who txaminek the surroundings are
confident that the money bad just
been removed.

THE SOUTHERN OUTLOOK.
WHAT A KENTUCKIAN SAYS ABOUT ITS
l’EESENT AND FUTURE PROGRESS.
From the New York Star.
Dr. William L Breyfogle. of Louis
ville, is spending a few days at the
Albemarle. The doctor is one of the
largest land owners in the South, and
is president of several large and prof¬
itable manufacturing corporations.
Ilis latest undertaking is the Cum¬
berland Valley and Unaka railroad,
which will be some 200 miles in
length, connecting Nashville with
North Carolina by an air line east
across the Tennesssee coal field,
through East Tennessee aiid into the
iron region of North Carolina—a
belt road, crossing or connecting five
North and South trunk lines.
Speaking about the Southern out¬
look, the doctor said: “I do not see
how we could ask for a better outi
look for Southern prosperity. The
onl unfortunate thing about it is
that too much attention is being giv¬
en to half a dozen points that are be¬
ing ‘boomed’ at a dangerously fast
pace and by methods in which excite¬
ment is the leading feature, and
where there must coine a reaction—
and the sooner the better. People do
not realize the steady and general
growth and improvement in the
South—the great undercurrent that
is more than anything in our history.
“\Ve think our new railroad will
lay the foundation of the most ex.
tensive and solid development in the
South. The parties interested iu it
own 750.000 acres of the most valu¬
able coal and iron lands in the world
The coal is of an excellent quality
for iron making and all other pur¬
poses, and the iron is unexcelled by
any in the world for making steel.
The finest timber in America is found
there, ar.d marble, valuable stone,
clay, and every form of natural
wealth,exceedingly abundant water
power, and conditions of climate and
health that are unexcelled anywhere.
“Are people going to settle on
your lands?”
“Most assuredly. Cur only reasons
for combining so great an amount of
land are that by it we can secure
transportation, furnaces, rolling mills
lumber companies, marble quarries
and other forms o f ‘ devedopment that
will found a couple of large cities.
The moment we can get cheap transi
portation, cheap building material
and open up works that will afford
employment for the surplus labor of
families we will cover this whole re
gion with the very choicest popula¬
tion from the Northwest, thousands
of whom are impatiently waiting for
the opening words, up of this region. In
other we wish to get ready
for them, so that every man who
comes there can prosper from the
start, and tiien they will swarm in
there by stliouands.”
------•---•
Possible Causes of Discontent.
It is the little kindness—it is the
little cruelty—that makes and mars
all the human relations. It is the per¬
sonal interest—it is the personal ne¬
glect—out of which the universal or.
der of disorder grows. Who knows
how far the public discontent has
been fed by that $40,000 span with
which you drove past houses from
whose wiudows invalds too poor to
buy the air of heaven watched you
daily? How far will it be affected by
the cost of her toilet, as reported by
the Monday reception, of which the
starving wives of drowned fishermen
will rerd in the local paper on Satur¬
day night? How far by the washer¬
woman whom I forgot to pay? Or
the shop girls to whom you refused
the chance to sit down from dawn to
dark? Or the seamstress whom we
underpaid? Or the sick clerk to
whom we gave no vacation? Or the
tramp to whom we were surly? Or
the old fellow sellow selling tissue
paper flowers on whom we cast a
look of disgust or contempt?
Somewhere the hurrying life
driven too fast aronnd a corner.
Somewhere somebody’s rights or
sibilities have been run ovei.
where—somewhere there has
“the little jolt.”—-Elizabeth
I’helps in Courier-Journal .
A Western Horse Range.
Harper's Weekly.
The great “P. O.” range, which be*
gins at a point not more than six
miles distant from the city of Chey¬
enne, has 120 miles; of four-strand
wire fence, built at a cost of $150 a
mile. Inside of this fence about 3000
inares and colts graze, the herd be¬
ing broken up into many small bands
and widely scattered. No stallions
are permitted to graze within the
enclosure, the Peroherons being kept
in carrols. In describing a visit to
this famous ranche last fall Mr. Bus¬
by writes: “The temper of the Pech
crou stallions is so docile that it has
a good influence upon the inares.—
The colts are not shy and wild, and
the mothers gain confidence and
grow gentle through their influerpj.
As for the mares and colts, the har¬
dy, open air life, with exercise up
and down the bills, is building up a
class of animals which stand much
fatigue with very little care. The
hips or quarters are not yet as highly
developed as in the horses of the
Eastern States, but the bone is tree
from disease, and a liorse caught
freshly from the herd and put into
harness will take his share of the
load.
She Could .Talk
A stylishly-dressed woman was
brought before a magistrate recent¬
ly for stealing some ribbons in a
shop. The cheif clerk had heard her
talking freely with her counsel, and
was puxzlcd becouse she loeked at
him blankly when lie asked her name
and residence, and replied with a
shake of her head.
“She is French,” replied the law*
yer, “and doesn’t understand Eng¬
lish. Put it down ‘Maria Latouche.”
The clerk frowned incredulously.
“What ago is she?” he asked.
“Twenty.two,” replied the lawyer.
Then the clerk’s eyes twinkled as
he said, softly, “3‘2!”
“No, 22!” snapped the fair prisom
er; but she clapped her hand to her
mouth in a moment, and. began
laughing.
“Umpli!” said the clerk. “You
can speak English if you don’t um
derstand it!”

From some “Rules for Business
Men” we oxtract the following iu
relation to advertising:
Take advantage of modern facili
ties. Use the means within your
icach; increase and multiply the
means of information.
To successfully compete with a
neighbor, participate in the facilities
afforded to go ahead.
Don’t depend upon your own lungs
alone; use the lungs of the press.
Make it known by printers’ ink
that you are prepared to do business.
Sell at small profits for cash, and
make it known through the newspai
pers.
All that any honest, legitimate
concern requires is fair judgment,
close industry, unwavering integrity,
superior workmanship, fair prices,
and t© do better by customers, if
possible, than others in the same
business—and give it publicity.—
Inland Printer.
If you must seold, and there is no
need of it, take any time but the
meal time for it. Of all the hours
that should be pleasant and cheerful
the time spent at meals should be
devoted to good humor. Pleasant
conversation, a story, and a cheerful
smile render a very ordinary meal
quiet palatable, and constitute an
excellent safeguard against indiges¬
tion. Did it ever oecurto any grum
bler about food bow nice a picnio
lunch in field or wood, or on an e±
oursion is? The same face on the ta*
blc has no doubt provoked a growl,
or been eaten with a sullen look,
which said plainer than words, ‘noth¬
ing fit to eat.’ IFhat is the season
of this? Simply that in the one case
the heart is iu the cheerful mood, in
the other the temper is out of sorts.
If it be true that hafl the ills of life
are the result of indigestion, it is
equally true that two-thirds of the
indigestion results from a lack of
cheerfulness at meals.
