A Country SonA 7aUow with dust it sleep* in noonday's glare, Tallow with dust it stretches far away; On the mossed wall the chipmonks frisk sad play, Where golden daises brolder all the air. How nature seems to dream’mid fragrance rare, For summer silence holds unbroken sway, Till round the bend a creaking wain of hay Cornea lumbeiing down the drowsy thor oughfare. Then all is still again; the orchard trees Are motionless as the distant purple hills On which the shadows of the white clouds rest. When suddenly the white-flecked clover seas All joyous tremble, while the bobolink trills His wildest melodies with sweet unrest. -j-R. K. M unkit trick in Harper's Weekly. CAPTOR AND CAPTIVE. AH INTEKKSTIXti WAR STORT. Would you like an interesting war story today? Wo have it, and it reads like a romance. It was related by Mr. Charles A. Howell. The story begins with the charge of Wilson’s Western cavalry on the Confederates around Columbus. Gen. Howell Cobb’s com mand occupied Girard, ju~>t across the Chattahoochee River, and the news came that Wilson’s cavalry was bearing rapidly on the town, and that this dash ing troop would reach Girard by about 7 o'clock in the evening. They came on time and the Confederate forces, greatly outnumbered, and taken on such brief notice, were at immense disadvantage. The Federal cavalry had come like a cyclone, and the face of the earth was literally dotted with them. They held every point around the town and ad vanced from all directions. Before night they charged the Confederate forces, and in a few minutes the battle was on. Fierce was the struggle, as, locked almost in each other's lines, the two contesting forces fought for supre macy. But it was soon over; the Con federates could not hold out against the heavy odds, and retreat was the only escape from capture or annihilation. One after another the lines broke, and in the darkness of the night the Con federates found themselves absolutely disorganized, companies lost from their commands, soldiers from their com panies, and every man struggling to keep out of the enemy’s hand. “To the bridge!” was the cry. The scattered Confederates rushed to the bridge to escape to the Georgia side only to find it in fiames! Some had got ten over in safety and many went though the best they could, fighting fire and picking their way through the sputter ing timbers. Among the last to pass the bridge was Second Lieutenant Charley Howell The riders had promptly “covered” the young officer with their revolvers, and, advancing toward the house, one of them, in captain’s uniform, said: “Have no fear, ladies; we will not harm you.” Then, turning to Lieut’ Howell, the speaker continued: “You surrender?” “I must; I am unarmed.” “You are a rebel?” “I’m not called such our way, but if the term suits you, all right.” “You wear a Lieutenant’s stripes, I see—they take ’em young down here.” “Not too young to fight.” “Well, come on, we will have to take you in charge,” and the three left the yard, the cavalry men mounting and the prisoner following on foot. In this way they left the old mansion, turning southward. Soon the Captain turned to his prisoner with the remark: “You will fiud it hard work to keep up with us on foot; hadn’t you better get up behind John?” motioning to his at tendant. And get up behind John he did, and in this way they rode for sev eral hoars. Late in the night Capt. Louthan, for it was Capt. J. W. Louthan of the Seven teenth Indiana Cavalry, hii attendant and prisoner, reached his command i about 75 men who had been detailed as scouts after the Columbus fight. In the meantime the Captain had said to his prisoner that if he would promise not to attempt to escape he would be treated properly and protected in camp from any trouble. The promise mide, the young lieutenant felt easy. When they joined the command of scouts the soldiers around the camp fires eyed the prisoner—the only one in camp—in quisitively, and a burly Pennsylvanian remarked, the Captain having turned aside: “What do you want with that little rebel? We’ll just have to kill him to get rid of him!” “Captain,” said the prisoner next morning, “they are talking abnut kill ing me; am I to be protected?” “Who talked about it?” the officer asked. “That man there,” pointing to the Pennsylvanian who had made t^e threat. •‘Confound you," said the officer, “don’t you know that this is my prison er, and I will shoot the man that touch es him?” To the prisoner he said: “I have your promise that you will not try to escape. I will take you at your word We are going from here to Macon, and may get into several skirmishes on the march. A horse provided for you, and when we get to fighting you must keep to the rear.” On the march to Macon the scouts fell into several warm skirmishes, and Capt Louthan was always in the front. “He was as brave a man as I ever that I was oat scouting and picked yon up. I am truly glad that you found me out and wrote to ms. * * * I would like to come down to your place and see you and visit some of the battlefields. 1 would also like to attend a reunion of Wheeler and Forrest’s cavalry. The last two years of the war the principal fighting we did was with them. I do not belong to the Grand Army of the Re public, as I live about five miles from town, and it is too far for me to attend the meet ings. I send copy of the Kenton Democrat with your letter to me. My political faith is Democratic. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, yours truly, J. W. Louthav, Dunkiik, O. A letter has already gone inviting Capt. Louthan to come down.—Atlanta Constitution. of Company C, First Georgia Regiment boy^ scarce 18 years of age. Ha* _saw-” said Mr- Howell in speaking The Upas Tree. Supernatural, almost diabolical, in flue ces are attributed to the famous upas tree, which, according to all ac counts, is so deadly that if a hot wind passes over it an odor is carried along which is fatal to whosoever breathes it. Old letters, written from Paris in 1642 by “The Turkish Spy,” deferibe a plant cultivated in a garden in the city that blasts all that grows within ten cubits of its roots. They call it 4 ‘ill neighbor. ” He de clares that there was a withered circle around it, while the tree itself was green and thrifty. There is a tradition of ^poison or upas tree that grows in the Island of Java, from which a putrid steam rises and kills whomsoever it touches. Foersch, a Dutch physician (17S3), says: “Not a tree ora blade of glass is to be found in the valley or sur rounding mountains. Not a beast or bird or reptile or living thing lives in the vicinity. On one occasion 1600 refugees encamped within 14 miles of it, and all but 300 died within two months.” The falsehood of this story is exposed by Bennett, who says: “The tree [upas] while growing is quite in nocuous, though the juice mny be used for poison; the whole neighborhood is most richly covered with vegetation; men may fearlessly walk under the tree and birds roost in its branches.” Dar win, in his “Loves of the Plants,” has perpetuated Foersch’s fable when he says: “On the blasted heath Fell Upas sits, the hydra tree of death.” It is probable that the fable of the blighting influence of the upas tree has been derived from the fact that there is in Java a small tract of land on which nothing can live. This is caused, not by the “fell upas,” but by emanations of carbonic acid g.is, which are con stantly going on. At the same time it is quite true that the juice of the upas is a deadly poison. Musical Sense in Horses. An interesting report regarding development of the musical sense was lost from his company and found* him yesterday, himself a stranger among strangers, but the gray uniform ho wore called a kind word from a strapping Texan who, like him, was a refugee, but had fortunately escaped on horseback, and had succeed ed in bringing another horse with him which he led. ‘‘Want to ride?” said the Texan, ad ding hurriedly, “Bettergit up; we ain’t got no time to spare!’’ No sooner said than done, and over the road leading from Columbus toward Greenville, in Meriweather county, the little Lieutenant and the. sturdy Tcxau jogged along together in the darkness of the night. The Texan was on his way to Macon, where he hoped to join friends, and Lieut. Howell was on his way home to Atlanta, and he wanted to get there by the most direct route, which accounted for his not accepting the generous oiler of his companion to “keep your horse and come on with me to Macon.” They separated after a day’s ride together, one continuing north towards Atlanta, and the other leading a ride, less horse toward Macon. On the second day after the fight at Girard, Lieut., Howell found himself near Waverly Hall, m Harris county. The sun was sinking over the moun tains, which rise in that section as if by some error of nature, and the traveller, “He was almost exhausted, was wondering where he would rest for the night. The road hugged a mountain stream, and a bend brought in full view a mill cozily nes tled on its banks, while across the road was one of those old-time Southern mansions, of immaculate white, with broad piazzas, and possessing an air of hospitality which seemed to say, “come in.” Several ladies were about the yard, two in deep mourning, as soon ap peared, for husbands who had gone to the war never to return. The gray coat at tho gate attracted their eyes and opened their hearts. “Come in,” they said, “we will do the best we can for you. You arc hungry. We have but little left, but what we have we will share. ” Soon the traveller’s story was told. a hard fighter, and always kept in front of his men. Whenever we stopped on the march at houses along the road he was as gentle and as kind to the ladies as any man could be. He would say to them iu assuring them that their fright was unnecessary, ‘Madam, these men shall do nothing that your own soldiers would not do. You will oblige us with something to eat, and I trust you will not consider it plunder on our part. It is one of the exigencies of war.’ ” At this time the Federals held Macon —it was the week that Lee surrendered and a thousand Confederate prisoners were* under guard in a large cotton warehouse in that city. Capt. Louthan joined his command in Macon, and his single prisoner fell into the warehouse with the other prisoners. A day and a night he stayed there, almost suffocated, poorly fed, and scarcely cared for at all. On the second day Capt. Louthan, as officer of the day, saw him through one of the warehouse windows, near which he was standing, and exclaimed: “Why, I forgot about you. You must get out of that!” The Captain elbowed his way through the jam of prisoners, and, telling him to “come along,” led the prisoner out and carried him to his tent on the bank of the Ocmulgee. ‘•You will stay here,” he said, “and with the promise that you will remem ber that you are my prisoner, and that you will report here three times a day, at meals, I will relieve you of guard.” On the third day the Captain, remark ing that “the trouble was abcut over,” asked his prisoner if he would accept a parole. “I can get it for you, and you can go home, and Heaven prosper you.” And thus it was that Lieut. Howell finished his war experience and returned to Atlanta. And now for the aftei war part of the story! Naturally Mr. Howell, no longer Lieutenant, has often wondered what became of the brave Federal Captain, to whose kindness he was so much in debted. Four years ago, while on a trip horses has justT)een made by a commil tee of German zoologists and botanists. The report says: “The investigations as to the musical sense of horses have shown that that sense is very poorly de veloped in these animals. It has been proved beyond doubt that horses have no notion whatever of keeping time to music, and that at circuses they do noli dunce according to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep lime accord ing to the steps of the animals. Other investigations show that horses do not understand military trumpet signals. It is only the rider or the animal’s instinct of imitation which induces horses to make the moves required by the signal, but no horse without a rider, however carefully trained, takes the slightest notice of a trumpet signal, and the same observation has been made on a large number of cavalry horses without riders. Remedy Agrainst Red Spiders. Some interesting experiments have been carried on at Amherst by S. T. Maynard, the horticulturist of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station, which indicate that evaporated sulphur is not only a good fungicide, but that it is an cxce lent remedy against the common red spider. The remedy consists in heating a kettle of sulphur for three or four hours twice oi three times a week to nearly boiling point in tho room with infested plants, care being taken not to heat it so that it will take fire, but evaporating enough to fill the room with visible vapor and to make the sulphur odor perceptible. So perfect a remedy is this claimed to be, that infested plants exposed for a few hours iu the room where sulphur is used are said to be completely freed.— Scientific American. • The party were seated on the broad through the West, he concluded to go piazza overlooking the mill, and the chirping of the crickets, the monotonous hum of the water playing with the mill wheel, and the noise of a gentle wind toying with the limbs of the towering oaks, lent an air of solemnity to the oc casion. There are sounds of the pattering of horse’s hoofs! In another minute the bend is round ed, and two horsemen, magnificently equipped and in full uniform of Federal cavalry, hastily dismount at the gate of the mansion! “The Yankees! The Yankees l’’ •creamed the ladies in consternation. to the meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic at Minneapolis, hoping to fiud some trace of him there. But he could hear nothing. Several weeks ago, iu casual conver sation with Mr. Ira M. Swartz, with Capt. Jacobs in charge of the work on our new army post, something about the story was mentioned. “I think I can find him,” said Mr. Swartz, and find him he did, at Dun kirk, Ohio, to which place Mr. Howell at once wrote him. A few days ago a reply came, as follows: I received your letter some time ago; was glad to hear from you. I recollect the time Scene In the Kant>as Legislature. It has not been very often that Sam Wood has been downed. We remember a tilt in the Legislature between him and P. P. Elder. Sam talked one day over some five-minute rule and Elder called him to order. The next day Sam caught Elder talking over time and called him to order. But Elder didn’t want to quit and he said: “Let th« gander from Chase shut up.” Sam re sponded that he wanted tho goose from Franklin to shut up. Elder says: “Let the ass bray. ” “All right,” says Sam, “I withdraw my objections, go ahead.” —Kansas City Gazette. John Digg Engaged. (to classmate): Well, Jack, college days are over. What ar4 you going to do for a living? Jack Fastsett: Been engaged b$ Rich & Co. “What for?” “Son-in-law.” The Cowboy Hi the Cast. The Indians be slashed and gashed and slapped and slew and slaughtered; He’d boot and shoot the howling Ute, who squ aled and reeled and tattered; He'd bang and whang at every gang of rob ber and marauder, The horse thief strung on the limb he hung, and thus kept law and order. In every fight big luck he struck hnd never met disaster; In glen and den, ’mid brutes ’and men, he never found a master; No gash or slash could ever dast}. against his front terrific, No foe could stand his red right hand that slugged so scientific. The rattlesnake he punched and crunched; he overthrew the bison; He sought and fought an awful lot each beast ’neath the horizon. No scar or jar could ever mar, no harm conld ever get him. But want of breath and speedy death o'er- took all things that met him. But to the town he came for fame, he moved into the city; He fell, ah well! I grieve to tell—the pity !— oh, the pity! He'd hit and split his head, and get a braise at every crossing, And the herdic man and the moving van his mangled form was tossing. Whene’er he crossed the street his feet with wheels and things were tangled; And his frame became a bloody shame, all maimed and mussed and mangled; He’d fall and sprawl right thro’ it all, his bones all dislocated. With most of his face stuck off"tho wrong place, and both of his feet mismated. And soon it came to pass the gas the big gas house exploded— And he—ah me!—was hit, you see, he didn’t know it was loaded. Oh, my! in the sky he shot as high as war contractor’s bounties, And his scattered frame was found, they claim, in nineteen different counties! —S. W. Foss, in Yankee Blade. HUMOROUS.

The first time the pack saddles are put on a young mule the excitement surpasses description, writes a cor respondent from the Western Plains. The beast, strong and wiry, is lassoed and led into a small open space. Be fore he knows what it is all about a noose of the lariat around his neck is slipped over his nose; this gives him a shock, as it were, and he makes a start for liberty. But the more he pulls the tighter the pinch on his nose, so he finally gives it up and stands still. 3Iore ropes are brought into use, and he is finally brought to have a leather binder put over his eyes. The next step is to put the pack saddle on. The great kicking is done when the crupper is slipped under the tail. Words cannot tell the way that mule’s heels flash through the air in all direc tions. But strategy wins and'mules tire. The pulling up of the “sinch, ” as the girth is called, brings out a new strug gle, but it is soon over and to an extent the mule is conquered. A Mighty Glacier. Professor Klein, of Rurich, has calcu lated the size of the Aletsch glacier. From its summit down to the Moraine the glacier measures 10,800,000,000 of cubic metres. Cut up into blocks 270 metres wide and deep the ice would form a belt around the earth at the Equator. Out of the Gorner glacier, which is the second largest in Switzer land, you might build three cities of the size of London, supposing the houses to be solid blocks of ice. SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. Tapeka, Kan.,is going to try vitrified brick on one of its streets. The Edison people are bringing out a type-writer that is operated with three keys only. A few crushed crystals of nitrate of ammonia dropped into a small vessel of water will reduce the temperature 46 or 50 degrees. The saw is largely used now instead of the ax in bringing down the giant redwoods, in California. The tree is sawed partly through, and then is forced over by wedges. A German investigator finds that in four heads of hair of equal weigh*, the red one contains about 93,000 hairs, the black 103,000, the brown 109,000 and the blonde 140,000. In experiments continued for four years, M. F. Larroque has found that, after eight or nine months, copper wires under the action of electric currents show signs of deterioration. The largest anvil in the world is now being made at Alliance, Ohio. It is in eight sections, each of which will weigh, when finished, 70,700 pounds. Six will be of iron, the other two, which receive the blow of a 25- ton hammer, of best open-hearth steel. Tests made with much care show that the addition of a fraction of one per cent, of aluminum greatly improves the quaiity of cast iron, rendering castings more solid and free from blow holes, re moving the tendency to chill, increas ing the strength, elasticity and fluidity of the metal, and decreasing shrinkage. The whole apparatus of the new elec tro-pneumatic balloon, including the machine for making the gas weighs only 52 pounds and can be conveniently car ried by one man. Tho balloon is held captive by two wires connected with two electro-magnets acting on a cylin der of compressed air, which works a set of signal arms. Professor Denton, who has been making investigations concerning the necessity of good lubrication for slide* valves, mentions a valuable fact. He states that in a locomotive he had cut down the supply 'of oil to tho valves from one pint in seventy-five miles to one pint in 160 miles—the result'of this change being, that, as soon as the valves got hot, two men could not hold the reversing lever in place when the catch was taken out of the notch. Vitality of the Cactus. Anybody who doubts the ability of cactus to live under difficulties can see it fully illustrated by visiting Isaac S. Steiners. In August, 1887, when they were preparing to leave Ohio, Mrs. Steiner had a large cactus with which she disliked very much to part, and it was impracticable to transport it, so she cut off a long limb over two inches in diameter and about two feet long. This she packed away, in tending to gild it and keep it as a relic. After coming here she threw it on top of the cupboard, paying no at tention to it until last September, over a year after it was cut off, when she accidentally noticed little buds start ing out around it. They concluded to set it in a box of earth, and now there it is iu good healthy leaf, giving Mrs. Steiner promise that from a root less limb she will soon have a second edition of her prized old cactus. To Tell Twins Apart. “Speakin’ of twins,” said old man Chumpins, “there was two boys raised in our neighborhood that looked just alike to their dyin’ day. Lem didn’t have any teeth and his brother Dave did, but they looked pree-cisely alike all the same. The only way you could tell ’em apart was to put your finger in Lem’s mouth, and if he bit yer ’twas Dave.”—Lewiston {Me.) Journo^. A Doomed Island. On the Island of Heligoland a stormy sea recently toppled over a largo cliff, together with its top, stiatum of pas tures aud cottages, and at the same time revealed the existence of a cliff undermining at least one-third of the remaining scant area, which has now been reduced to a little less than one- third of an English square mile. Year after year the sea encroaches upon the rocks of the west shore, but the full ex tent of its ravages was only lately as er- tained by the discovery of an old map, showing not less than eighteen different villages, with castles, forts and monas teries, where the water now covers th submarine rocks to a depth of half a hundred fathoms. Like tho island of St. Helena, the cliffs of Heligoland rise abruptly from an ocean abyss, which more than probably will swallow up the last breakwater before Hie middle of the next century. Origin of WashiRgton’B Sobriquet. The appellation “The City of Mag nificent Distances,” as applied to Wash ington, is said to have come from John Randolph. In an early day, when the lepartment buildings, Capitol and White House, widely separated, constituted sven more than now the chief points of attraction and business, Randolph re marked that it was “a city of splendid poverty and magnificentdistanr.es.” France’s army costs $105,614,655.
