The Amoricus, (Ia., Recorder publish es a story illustrative of General Bragg's cruelty. The scene of this cruelty was Cornith, Miss., and the time during the retreat from Shiloh. Bragg was person ally superintending the loading c f the oars. He I had a great burly fellow cursing the mon and inciting them to groater activity. A young soldier not over 20, tall and handsome, though pale and delicate, parsed up the platrorm looking for the cars in which the sick wore to be transported. lie was evident ly ill. The burly fellow hailed him, ordered him to fall in and help heave the goods into the cars. The soldier re plied that he was too ill to work; lad lie bon able ho would have been with his regiment. The big fellow called the general's attention to this insubordina tion, and General Bragg ordered the young man to go to work. I$e repiated the answer he had given the mu in charge of the aiiml. The general's eye seemed to tlash fire 41s he exclaimed: "What! You dare to disol-ey my ord'rs?" . do," calmly replied the young man. be general called a lieutenant of a tisiana company of regulars doing rd duty, and said: 'Take six of , our company ald carry tiris man to that grove and shoot him." T_he liotenant called his men, but be forty going to the grove General 'ragg took hii aside and talked for almoient. The recalcitrant soldier was then 1:ken to the grove and placed upou n stool with iis back to a tree. lie refus 1l to be li ndfolded, but took off his wtch, (chaiin and ring, wrote a name on a piece of pal'r an 1 handed it all to the lictn ailt, wJing that Ihe jewelry he seit, to the ad dress given."

He rushed ipos the young Eoldier, complimented him upon his bravery, returned his jewelry, and ordered him to go. "Where is the boy?" General .ragg asked of the lieutenant a few minutes * ~ latter. "Gone," was the reply, ani ' of the young man's l-eha' ''he general had search i saying; ''I'll promote him. was not found. And there the I ecorder story came to ai end. It leaves one in as unsati-fan toiy state as one of F"niik Stockt n's stouic'. What becane o the soldier? Did ii die in a hospital? D)id he li e to ,bocomc lood for powder? A Pont-)ispatcl reporter discovered lie scquel this morning; heard the iL'ci ent and its conclusion from the bra1ve oung soldier's own lips. ''es," admitted )r. Uhiales Garcia, 'I was the young soldier." lie was sit ting in his ollico at 12:31 Chouteau ave nue, resting after an all-nightl battle with an obstreperous patient. "I closed the book of the war years ago. It contains arso much that is uipleasait and bitter ikat I have seldom cared to open it. me~netimes when I read remiiniseenees in 4nahe papeors I grow interested in them. I read the Recorder story. It is quite corret as to the features of the inci .dent." "Won't you tell the story again?' "I was a member of the Beauregard Rifie~ of the (Cresce.nt Regiment froem New Orleans. After Shilohi the Confed 'errate army retreated to Cornith, and be ing attawcd there made a demonstra tion, uder the cover of which the re trecat was ma.do to Tupijelo. At Coriiith 1 was taken ill with camp lever. I could not find a surgeon, for everything was in confusion, andl so I. went to the train, avhoro I expcCted to find a surgeon and 1-ot transportation. I felt that I was not abko to walk to Tupelo with my regi man.t. I was stopp)ed ais described and takeml to the woods to he shot." * ~"Wlhit were your Sens[ationls while waiting for the coimmanid of 'F"ire?'" "'I cannot hardly tell.

The timo has conic with the Southern farmers when they see the necessity of abandoning ol methods, and adopting new ones; the introduction of horse reapers, mowers, and plows that will ex pedito cultivation and economize labor, shows that we are in a transition state; preparing to reduce the area of cotton planting, and increase the area of grain, clover, grass and other crops; in short, we are fixing up for (liverbified farming. This is what I have been recommending to all our farmers for the last fifteen years in all my articles in 'Ihe Southern Cultivator, and other agricultural jour nals. I am glad to see the change has begun, and in the near future, we will see our Southern farms once more teemt ing with fine crops of corn, wheat and oats, as well as clover and grass, and fine stock of all ki})ds of our own raising, making us as we should be, a self-sup porting, prosperous set of farmers. We have served too long a time at making cotton, which has impoverislhed the farmers and made rich the merchants and cotton kit gs; let us now turn over a new leaf, and farm for our own good and profit. \ve have the country, the lands and the climate adapted to the most diversified system of farming of any other country; all needed, is the will, to make it so-sO let it be so. Ag ricultural machinery is new to most of our Southern farmers, and cspecially to the negro, the laborer we have mostly to rely on; but still there are many of ti,'m suf iciently intelligent with a little train ing to make them use them advantage ously under the supervision of the own er. Our young farmers should drive their own reapers and nwwers; but with old farmers who have not sons to use them, they arc dependent on hirelings, but if possible they should be operated tinder their supervision, for like all ma chinery they must be used with judg ment and care. Put when there is a will, there is a way, and grain and grass crops will 5Oon teach us the right way of using machinery. Some 17 or 18 years ago, )efore the cotton craze seized our people, grain and grass was mostly the cropa of this section of country, but then the cradle was the harvester; a few reapers were being introduced at that time; heavy cumbersome things, killing to the animals that worked to them, and many soon became wrecked from their own inelficiency. So they did not take with the farmers, being also high-priced; they cost them from $190 to $2l(H with out the mowing attachment; they are now made lighter, more easily handled, and much cheaper; this is a great ad vantage, so Imoie will be bought and used. But sorle of our people ask, "how are we to get any money, if we stop raising cotton and raise all grain, grass and stock?" We don't tell you to stop growing cotton altogether, we only tell you to l)lant less cotton, and plant more grain, and sow grass and rai stock, and feed yourselves, and have some to spare to feed the city and vil lage folks; and stop buying ail your food supplies from the merchants--become farmers in the true sense of the Imeaning of the word, miLd not merely cotton planters, which means, ''the he wers of wood, and drawers of water.'' I expect three-fourths of the people of the South, including farmers, are fed on imported food. If that be so, cini't we help feed them, and make some moev that way, and if we did it, and reduced the production of cotton, we would get more money for our cotton, and feed ourselves and our fellow citizens, and have two strings to our bow instead of the one string, cotton--won't we be let ter off thani exchanging our cotton cropis for corn, flour and bacon? We have tried it long enough to coniv ine~ anmy sensible man11 that it was the ruin of our farmers, and has reduced somne to abjeet poverty. hlence, ] am glad to see thait farming South is in a transit condition, getting ready to discaird the methmods of the last fifteen or twenty years, and for adopting new methods. L et the reaper and the miower comet fast and miimaerous among us, for it is an evidencee of b>etter times eoming; it piortends the mnakinig of our own food suiesd, and when that is dlone, farm mortgages will cease and we shall once more become free men, andl iuneiicumbered, and visit our towtns and cities as independent men, with no sus picionis against us ias debtors-merely "hlewters of woiod, and liawers of water." f look for good results to come ouit of the Iuterstate Conventioni of farmers to he held in Atlanta in August next, where all matters >mcrtaiming to thme iintesent and welfare of the farmers and farming will be fully discursed.

(N'ronl the ouala ltupu,llCan- ) I had often heard of poisoned arrows and determined to ask the old Indian arrow-maker about thorn and how they were made and impregnated with the deadly poison which they woro supposed to contain. He looked at me for a full minute and thou said: "First we take a bloated yellow rattle snake in August, when lie is most pois onous, and tio him with a forked stick to a stake; then we toase him until lbe is inl a great rage. This is lone by passing a switch over his body from his head to his tail. W\Then ho threshes the ground with his body aud his eyes grow bright and sparklo like (1dianlonds we kill a deer, antelope or some other enaull aninal and, tearing out the liver, throw it to the snake while it is warm and the blood still coursing through it. The reptile will strike it again and again and pretty soon it begin to turn black. When ho tires the snake is teased again and1 he is induced to sink his fangs into the soft flesh until all the poison is extracted from him and the liver is reeking with it. lie is then killed and the liver lifted with a sharp polo, for so dangerous is it, no one dare touch it. The liver is let lay for about an hour when it will he al most jet black and emit. a sour smell. Arrows are then brought and their iron heads pushed into the liver up to the shaft. They are left sticking there for about an hour and a half, when they are withdrawn and dried in the m-n. A thin glistening yellow scum adheres to the arrow and if it but so much as touches raw flesh it is certain to poison it to death." I asked if Indians still used poisoned arrows. ''No," ho replied, "no man, inlian or white mana, for years past has been shot with these arrows and they are no longer made." A h,tat stalst r"oke.. An eaineant Chicago physician has been discussing the causes and the l,a ture of sunstrokes. lIo states that the amortality in cases of sunstroke is I wenty per cent., and when death does anot ensue the patient is never adble afte: wards to stand any heat, and sometimeas the approach of the hot season drives them insane or kills them. lie further says that a man may be sunstruck ina the shade, and at night.

'The nerve centres may receive a shock causing a rapid failing of respiratiu and circulation. Sometimes the nerves of circulation are completely paralyze d. Methods of treatment must be accorl ing to the condition of the patient. (if course, in all cases the patient should be placed in the shacdo acud his clotlhiing loosened.
