He is known by it, and whenener he appears in public the sight of it reminds the peoplev what he suffered for their sake and they go mad with enthusiasm. DR. SCOTT TODD. Dr. Scott Tpdd is another man who came face to face with death daring the war and then passed him by. He re? ceived his wound at the battle of Oakoney bridge and the circumstances attending the infliction of it proves the wonderful dispensation of providence. The battle of Oakoney bridge was a very desperate one. The confederates occupied a posi tion behind breastworks, which were so built as to leave embrasures through which the soldiers could fire at the enemy. The Marietta Cadets had held the works against an overwhelming force for hours, and their ammunition was giving out. Jim Woodward (who was_recently mur? dered in Atlanta) was standing at the embrasure when the order came for him to go to the rear and procure more am? munition. As he turned away, Dr. Todd took his place, and rested his arm on the sill , of the embrasure. Before Woodward had taken two steps he heard a commotion, and turning, saw the man who had replaced him lying bleeding on the ground. The minnie hall which struck Dr. Tpdd, so shattered the arm that his case was thought fatal. By amputation, however, his life was saved, and now his tall figure and empty coat sleeve are well known to everybody in Atlanta. JUDGE W. T. NEWMAN. Judge Newman lost his arm at the battle of Joneaborc, where he command? ed a company of Tennessee cavalry. The fight was a desperate one, and when Judge Newman fell he was surrounded on all sides by the dead and dying. The little life that was left in him would quick? ly have been trampled out of him by the iron shod hoofs of the horses, but for Col? onel Kuhn, the commander of the regi? ment, who fortunately saw his danger. In his arms the colonel lifted Judge Newman and carried him to the. rear. His wound, wfs found so dangerous that the arm was token off a*, the shoulder, and after a hard struggle for life Judge Newman recovered his health and strength. COLONEL HAMILTON'S WOUND. Colonel H. C. Hamilton, clerk of the United States district court, once had the usual complement of arms, though now he^ carries an empty sleeve. His was a .desperate wound, and the treatment after receiving it put bis life in great danger for a time. In December, 1864, while General Sherman was raiding through Georgia, news was received by General L. Q.- Gartrell's brigade, at Charleston, that a part of the. iron fleet would be sent from Hilton Head island to cut off the railroad connection between Charleston and Savannah. With a detachment of the Third Geor? gia regiment, Colonel Hamilton was ordered to meet the union soldiers and frustrate their intention. The two armies, met, and the desperate battle of Cooaa whatchie was fought. Each force was struggling to obtain possession of a bridge. Colonel Hamilton was standing at one end of the bridge, and had just discharged his gun when a union man, not a hundred feet away, took deliberate aim at him. His band was at his side taking out another cartridge when the bullet of his enemy struck him in the wrist; - The bone of the arm was terribly shattered, and before dark the arm was amputated at the elbow. After the union forces were driven back, Colonel Hamilton was taken to Savannah, where, on the 21st of the same month, he was captured. He was sent in his enfeebled condition from one prison to another until, in the dead of winter, with only one coat and one blanket, he was landed at Tort Delaware. He was only seven? teen years old, and the wound and the cold combined nearly killed him. He was finally released and returned to his home in Georgia. COLONEL TOWEBS'S 8TOEY. Colonel Towers, principal keeper of the penitentiary, had one of the most terrible experiences of the war. Al? though be was not himself injured, it was all - the harder for him to bear, as his own son was the sufferer and he could do nothing to help him. At the battle of SharpBburg, Colonel Towers led his men into' one of the most desperate charges of the war.- With an irresistible impulse the confederate sol? diers swept the opposing forces from their path until the union men were banked up in solid phalanx. Then the tide of battle changed, and foot by foot the ground the confederates' had won was regained. During the enforced retreat Colonel Towers was assisted by his son, who Was standing next to him. Sud? denly the young man threw his arms above his' head and fell forward. The lives of all his men were dependent on Colonel Towers,, and even for his own son he could not stop. He had only time to see that his boy was shot through the chest and then he was forced to leave him there. A moment later he saw the spot where the prostrate form was lying, and he wan obliged to continue the retreat without knowing whether his son were alive or dead. Three days later while-Colonel Towers was still suffering all the tortures of anx? iety ah officer came to his quarters and save him a startling account of his son's jxperiences. The union soldiers, he said, had found the young man desperately wounded but still alive and had removed him to a hospital, which was situated at a little listance in the woods. There he was jared for until a confederate officer, who was skirmishing through the woods, ;aine, by accident, upon tho hospital. He had only a few men with him. To mow his weakness insured his capture. Se therefore rode up to the officer in charge of the wounded and told him that ie had succeeded in capturing all that part of the union lines and his men ivould be up in a moment to take charge >f the hospital. His calm confidence convinced the officials that he was telling >nly facts and no attempt was made to letain him. As ho turned to ride away the officer loticed a grieviously wounded man lying indera tree. It proved to be young rowers, and though he wast utterly ex? hausted from loss of blood, he begged ;he confederate officer to take him away. He was placed on a horse and was held n an upright position until the union lospital was ieft behind. Then the lorses were forced into a gallop, and .hough young Towers was continually hinting, he was held on his horse and vas brought safely into the confederate :amp. He recovered from the vrcuiod >nly to be killed during the next battle n which he took part.?Atlanta Constilu ion. A Successful Farther. Mr. F. H. Barber is well-known aa one of York'County's most successful farmers. He lives at Eichb?rg, but owns about four thousand acres in Eastern York, where he does most of bis farming. A reporter of the Enquirer met him the other tiay at Leslie's-, n station which he is building tip on the Three C's. The old gentleman had just finished settling his accounts with his croppers and having made a large crop was in ft real good humor for telling how it was done. He said to the reporter ; "You can put in the paper that I averaged more cotton to the mule than any other man in York County." "How many bales, Mr. Barber ?" "Ten bales to the mule with twenty six mules?260 bales. Now let me see yon beat that if you can." "Wasjour crop as good this year as usual, Mr. Barber." "No, no. I can't Bay that it wsb, but here is another point for you., I have just paid one negro who runs a two mule farm on my piace $399 56. He makes that much clear after paying everything he owes me?living and everytbiug, and nearly every one of a dozen pthera have cleared over $150 apiece. "Now people say there iB nothing in farming, but I say there is. There is more in il: than anything else^tbere's everything In it. That's my experience and I know what I'm talking about when I say it, my young friend. I merchan dised seventeen years, and made money. I have a one-third interest in the Fishing Creek factory, and it's making as much money as any of them, let me tell you, but Iget larger returns out of the farm than anything elpe. You can make the farm pay-50 and 100 per cent, but you can't squeeze any such profits out of the store or factory." "But how is it that so many people fail o make a living on the farm, Mr. Bar? ber?" "They don't work, that's why. The majority of farmers want three Sundays a week, and nobody can .get along by working only half of the time. Suppose yon would take'three Sundays a week in. your business, how would you come out ? You'd bust, wouldn't you ? That's what you would do, and. that's what anybody else who tries it will do. Now the farmer don't have to work any harder or longer than anybody else. * He don't have to work from, daylight till dark. Not a bit of it. I have a piece of land over next to the factory and have bad a standing ing offer for the past three or foUr years of $250 a year to any young man who would work it by the factory bell. I just want him to put in ten bours a day, and at the end of the year I'll give him $250. That's fair, ain't it? That's as much as the factory hands work; but if he'll work by the boll he'll be worth every cent of $250.; "Then, there is another thing. A good many people try to farm, and they don't know anything about it. Take the common notion about guano. Most people will put 150 pounds on an acre. They will lay off their rows about three feet apart, and if the wind is blowing they will teke one of these horns, so as to keep the guano from "getting out of the furrow, and string it along the row in a fine white line. They are so careful about wasting it that if the string hap? pens to get broken for a foot or two they won't even go back to patch it up. They put in their cotton, which comes up and starts to growing very nicely, but if a little dry weather comes along the .cotton turns sickly and they Bay the guano burns it up. But it aint the guano. It is the poor land that burns it up. Now think about it.* They put in that little streak of guano. The plant comes up and grows rapidly while it lasts, but so soon as the fertilizer is exhausted, of course it dies down, because there is nothing leit for it. to feed on, so yon Bee it is the poor land that does it. Now, to prove what I say. If a hundred and fifty pounds of guano scorches the cotton eo it won't grow, two thousand ponnds ought to set it afire, oughtn't it ? But it won't. It's my experience that the more fertilizer you use the more cotton you make, and, in order to demonstrate the matter to the satisfaction of everybody, I am going to make a special experiment next spring, and put two thousand pounds of guano on one acre. And I'm not going to burn anything up either. See if I do." "On shares altogether. It is the most satisfactory way of all. I furnish every thing?the mules, tools and supplies. The cropper furnishes nothing, but the labor. If I make he makes, and if I lose he loses ; so you see it is to his interest to work, and the harder the better. .1 give them half of everything they make, and that encourages them to make all tbey can. Some people don't give but two fifths, but let me tell you I get aa much out of the half as any of them." Mr. Barber is president and secretary and treasurer of the Fishing Creek Man? ufacturing Company, has a large store at Leslie's and lives at Eichburg. He has recently connected these three points by a private telephone line and placed himself within easy speaking distance of all of them at once.? Yorkvi?c Enquirer, ? A humane blacksmith in Nevada has built a cart with the axles bent so that the horse is directly under it, sheltered from sun and wind. The driver Bits in front and other passengers sidewiss on seats running lengthwise over the horse's back. This is, of courae, a steering apparatus, and also an arrangement with a wide band under the horse, bo that in going down bill that animal can be lifted bodily off his feet and given rest while the whole out "coasts." And the lifting machine comes into use if the horse tries to run away, as a turn of the crank leaves him working his legs in the air, but to no pur? pose whatever. ? At Tucamohe, in Guatemala, the boys in a school house recently seized the master and hanged him in the school bouse. An Old Story. When a man says he feels drowsy in the spring, that his digestion is bad, and that he don't feel well generally, he knows that be needs something to give tone to bis system, to purify bis blood and put bis liver in proper condition to perform the duties of organic life. He goes to his physician with this same old story year after year and the physician prescribes a tonic and alternative. The best tonic in a case like Urn is Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic. It acts charmingly on the liver, purifies the blood and strength? ens the system for its daily work. This great medicine can be bought at all druggists for fifty cents and one dollar a bottle. Yan?erbiltfs Forest of Pines. The planting of trees on Mr. Vander bilt's estate has been discontinued for the present. One hundred and twenty acres have been ploughed Up and planted with white pines, which have been arranged in rows seven feet apart with a space of five feet between the trees in the Bame row. This makes 1,200 trees to the acre. The young trees are from fifteen to eigh I teeb inches in height, and are obtained from Mr. Douglas' nursery at Waukee gan, near Chicago, which is one of the largest in the United States. Only last year Mr. Douglas had a contract to set out three million of trees in Kansas. His son is now employed as landscape gar? dener at the University of California. This univereity has 80,000 acres of land which was given to them by Senator Stanford. It is located about twenty five miles from San Francisco, and has on the estate a vineyard of 4 000 acres. The white pines -.vhich have been *ct out on the slopes where the limber has been cut down, lake one year to root themselves firm in the soil. The second year they grow about one foot higher, and every succeeding year they receive an additional upward growth of three feet or more. In three years from the time of planting they will be ttt least six feet high) and in this climate will attain a maximum height of 450 feet. The idea in planting them bo closely together is to make them grow very tall and prevent them from putting forth branches near the ground. One thousaud acres are yet to be planted, but by the time Mr. Vanderbilt'a mansion is ready for occu? pation the whole mountain side will be covered with dense woods. Tbe sameness of the timber land will be relieved by planting many different kinds of trees at the base of the hills and along the drives. ?Aakeville Citizen. Horse Flesh as Food; Over fourteen thousand horses are slaughtered for human food every year in Paris, says the Chicago Tribune. When a horse becomes old and uselefis the French people are too economical to throw him away, rf hey eat him. Horseflesh is eaten more or less in every community, but generally under cover of something else. In Paris it is eaten openly. There are three horse abattoirs and butchers' shops where nothing but horseflesh is sold. History would have had a bad opinion of Alex? ander had be eaten Bucephalus, but French soldiers eat their horses in every war. During the Crimean war, when the British soldiers were starving, their French comrades lived sumptuously on horseflesh. Hippopbagists pretend that horseflesh is sweeter aud finer in tbe fibre than beef, and probably it is, but horses are only banded over to tbe knacker when they are emaciated old hacks. The horses killed in the Paris abattoirs are a Bet of decrepit old invalids, except a few that have been disabled by acci? dent. The consumption of horseflesh in Paris has doubled since 1881. There are 300 asses eaten every year. This small number in comparison with the horsea is explained by the fact that don? keys when old are exceedingly tough, and one donkey will go a long way at tbe dinner table. Strangers in Paris will not easily find a horsesteak for the asking, although it may sometimes be adroitly palmed off on them without the asking*. Horseflesh is eaten by the poorest classes. It sells at three or four cents tbe pound. ? There are many ways of curing a corn, but the best is the shoe rest. ? A lady in Texas recently gave birth to four perfectly-formed and healthy ba? bies. ?Some men's affairs don't get straight? ened out until about the time they do themselves. ?

This is an old Irish remedy, which is really scientific, as it removes the constriction, which is probably the cause of the colic. ?

She is an inveterate smoker aud declares she will live to be one hundred and fourteen years old. ? Tbe human family to day consists of about 1,450,000,000 individuals. In Asia, where man was first planted, there are now about 800,000,000, an average of 120 to tbe square mile. In Europe there are 320,000,000, averaging 100 to the square mile. In Africa there are 210,000,000. In America, North and South, there are 110,000,000 relatively thinly scattered and recent. In the islands, large and small, probably 10,000,000.

The movement in favor of good roads has crossed the Aileganiea and found a lodgment in Ohio.
