So many letters have appeared in the newspapers lately, pro and conregarding the treatment of ex Presi, dent Jtffer&on Davis while a captive that I am surprised one saliant feature has hitherto escaped comment, and I rely upon your liberal journal to print what I now desire to place before the fair minded people of America bearing upon the manacling of the distinguished prisoner of war. The Roman conqueror loaded his captive KiDgs with chains (some times of gold; bub still chains) to grace his triumph. We must go back 2,000 years or near it, to the ' day when the valiant British Prince Caracfcacup, in Chains, graced a triumph in Rome. Cleopatra only saved herself by the asp from glorifying in chainp, the triumph of Octavius. But this is ancient history. In modern times, cruel and vindictive as were the British to the fallen lioD, NapoleoD, and although they, in their terror of him, condemned him to a liirinor rtanrh tfit. hfl was npvflr nut in *' ' j r? ? chains! It remained for the United States of America, through their duly constituted authorities, to do a thing unprecedented in modern times, the chaining, like a convict, of the leader of a brave cause, whose rights or wroDgs are cot now in question. The brutal treatment of the aged and infirmed statesman and soldier by a hired blacksmith Cor hired sergeant, or general?it dosen't matter which, to my argument) was a deed which should have brought then, and should bring now, the blush of shame to every man north of the Mason and Dixon line, who countenanced, or who countenances, this outrage against the amenities of honorable warfare, and against tbe courtesy due to a soldier, statesman and a gentleman, and through him to a brave, though conquered people. t tj t\ JULUeBi.

The entire corn producing country j of the West ba3 taken up the advice I of Professor Philip Graham Holden. | with the result that there is serious j talk of the possibility of adding a | billion bushels to the annual proi duction before two more crops are l* j gathered. \ | Last year Iowa added about 45,1 | 000,000 bushels to her corn crop by 1 following Holden's advice.

Thousands have been benefited by their use. They only cost a quarter. For sale by The Kaufmann Drug co. More Hay. Two children were praising the piuck of dogs. "A good dog," said one, "has the same kind of pluck that old Jerome McWade used to show. "He was a farmer, seventy years old, but still hale and hearty. One morning he and his two sons got to wrangling over their strength, and Jeroma declared that he could load quite aB fast as they pitch it. "So to the fields they went, and Jerome got into a hay wagon with his fork, and the two boys down below began to pitch the hay up to him as fast as they could pitch it. "The old man stood up to his work stoutly. He loaded with lightning speed, and all the while he kept calling down: 'More hay! More hay!'*' "The boys worked hard. Their youth told in their favor. Old Jerome got to loading more and more untidly. Still as he scrambled about on top of the uneven mounds he continued to shout, 'More bay!' "All of a Budden he tripped as he dug in biB fork and fell from the wagon to the ground. " 'Ah,' said his eldest son, 'what are you doing down here?' "Jerome as he ro6e answered: " *1 came down for more hay." Report From Linevitch.
