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.

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,

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.—

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

cavalry, hastily dismount at the gate of

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:

The Indians be slashed and gashed and

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

The horse thief strung on the limb he hung,
and thus kept law and order.
In every fight big luck he struck hnd never

In glen and den, ’mid brutes ’and men, he
never found a master;
No gash or slash could ever dast}. against his

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

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

And he—ah me!—was hit, you see, he didn’t

Oh, my! in the sky he shot as high as war

And his scattered frame was found, they
claim, in nineteen different counties!

Taming Unruly Mules.
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.

A Mighty Glacier.
Professor Klein, of Rurich, has calcu

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.

ton hammer, of best open-hearth steel.
Tests made with much care show that
the addition of a fraction of one per

quaiity of cast iron, rendering castings
more solid and free from blow holes, re
moving the tendency to chill, increas

Professor Denton, who has been

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.

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

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.

DR. KOEHLER'S FAVORITE COLIC MIXTURE
for all domestic animals, will cure 99 out of every 100 cases of colic, whether flak
ulent or spasmodic. Barely more than 1 or 2 doses necessary. It does not eon^
stlpate, rather acts ns a laxative and is entirely harmless. After 20 years of trad
in mcre.tken CtCO cates, our guarantee is worth something. Celle mnsf he
treated promptly. Expend a few cents and you have a cure on hand, ready
when needed, and perhaps save avaluable horse. If not at your druggist's, SSt
clcce to cents for temple bottle, sent prepaid.
