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 Boyd in Southern Bivouac. — -------- --■- 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. —I’lacorvilie (Cal.)

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. Terms—$1.00 per annum 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!” - i ► 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.
