Merrimac and Monitor. Commander H. Ashton Ramsay, of Franklin Buchanan Camp, U. C. V., of Baltimore, was chief engineer of the Confederate ram Merrimac in her two fights in Hampton Roads, under Ad miral Buchanan and Commodore Tat nall, respectively. In speaking of the achievements of Admiral Buchanan and, of the Merri mac, Col. Ramsay said yesterday: "Without wishing to say anything that wo uld diminish the glory of the gallant Worden, who commanded the Monitor, it must be particularly noted that Buchanan first led the way and showed that the Monitor was, or ought to have been, invincible against any thing the Confederates could bring against her. As she was armored with niue inches of iron against the Merrimac's four inches, had eleven inch guns against the Merrimac's six and seven-inch guns, and arriving in Hampton Roads the night after the Merrims.c had sunk the Cumberland, burned the Congress and made a wreck of the Minnesota, could she have done less than fought the Merrimac, when the latter vessel was known to be in ferior to her in every respect? And yet that gallant Virginian, Captain Catesby R. Jones, fought the Monitor the next day, not under the protection of any fort or battery, but in the mid dle of Hampton Roads, for five long hours and finally compelled her to retire, but, to the praise of her gallant commander, not until after he had been incapacited by the battering in of the pilothouse. "Capt. Jones, soon after engaging the Monitor, discovered that his shot on the turret was having no appreci able effect, and with his usual fore sight he directed his lieutenants to concentrate their fire on the nob of iron projecting from the deck, which he soon recognized as her conning tower. In this fight with the Monitor the Merrimac had but four effective guns which could fire sojjd shot. Two of her guns had been disabled the day before by having their muzzles shot away, and four others were chambered guns intended to fire hot shot into the wooden vessels, and solid -shot, the only projectile that would have been at all effective, could not be fired from them. "In the engagement between these two vessels, strange to say, the Mem mao did not lose a man or have any one wounded, nor receive any further injury than the indentation and frac ture of the outer course of iron in a few places. Owing to her great draught of water she got aground, and for a considerable time the Monitor, draw ing so much less water, could play around us, changing her position, and we could not bring a gun to bear on her. It was at this time she drew up on us, but presently we got off the shoal and struck her a glancing blow with our bow, at the same time deliver ing the fatal shot that stove in the conning tower and damaged Commo dore Worien's eyes. Then it was that the Monitor withdrew under the protection of the guns of Fortress Monroe, leaving the Merrimac master of the Roads, a position she retained for two months, covering the James and Elizabeth rivers during the evacu ation of Norfolk, but finally had to be destroyed by her own people. "Having been ordered to proceed up the James River, after receiving a signal notifying us that Gen. Huger had withdrawn his army, stores, etc., from Norfolk, we lightened the ship to ? point that exposed her wooden Bides, under cover of the night, in order to pass over the bar in the river. The pilots said they could take us over the bar, and we lightened the ship by throwing overboard our coal and the iron on the bow and stern. We thus raised the ship, and made ber an easy prey for the large United States squadron which was just out side the Roads. The pilots then de clared that, owing to the wind having prevailed for several days from a cer tain direction, the water had been blown off the bar. Commodore Tatnall, in his report of hhis transaction, scathed the pilots 2nd strongly intimated that they took this position because they did not want the vessel to be brought into action, and in this way would force him to surrender or desert the ship. Under this condition of affairs there iras nothing to do but to run her ishore and destroy her. This was lone most effectually, for after she Eras blown up not a vestige of the ship rras lert above water. The officers md crew marched away and fought ;he Monitor again at Drewry's Bluff, rhen that vessel, in company with >he others, attempted to ascend the Fames River."?Baltimore Sun. Successful Watermelon Culture. A melon grower in this State has mcceeded in prolonging the life and ruitfulness of the melon vine. The leed were planted early in April, and he vines kept green until frost. This s his plan as he gave it to us : He selected a galled piece of ground, md dug four holes two feet square md two feet deep, about ten feet apart iach way. A peck of corncobs was then placed n each hole (a half bushel would be >etter). Then a peck of cotton seed m the cobs, and the holes filled with ich earth from underneath cedar .rees where chickens had roosted. The cotton seed had previously been ailed by wetting and placing in a pile mtil they heated (the heating had >etter be avoided by bruising the seed >r using cotton seed meal). The earth n the holes will settle, and, therefore, t should be heaped up considerably ibove a level. Two years ago the our hills thus prepared made more nelons than a patch of about fifty rills planted and cultivated in the isual way. One vine appears to be inough for a hole ; at most two. A mall handful of salt may be placed n the bottom of each hole. If a wooden box having a glass top, lay 12x12 inches, be placed over the till, the melons will be about three reeks earlier than usual. Insects :an't depredate. When the vines get tearly large enough to commence run ting, the boxes should bei removed md the vines cultivated. But if >oxes be not used, small beds, say six o eight inches square, thickly sown rith melon seed a few days before you >lant the holes, usually protected veil. The plants in the beds being hick and very tender, the bugs prefer o snck them.

"When Charles Broadway Rouss of Winchester, after faithful service to his people, laid down his arms at Ap pomattox, he was only a ragged and barefooted Confederate private. To day he stands foremost among the wealthy and successful merchants of New York. From the hour, however, when luck changed and fortune began to smile upon him, it became a rule of life to share, his substance with others less blessed and as far as lay in his power alleviate the misfortunes en gendered by the war. As a result he has bestowed upon individuals many thousands of dollars and upon his native city of Winchester benefactions that will cause his memory to be per petuated in more than monuments of bronze or marble. But in late years this patriotism has extended to even broader fields of use fulness. When the Confederate camp of New York desired a resting' place for its dead comrades, Mr. Rouss promptly contributed the entire amount necessary for the erection of a superb shaft 50 feet in height to mark the spot. When the idea was suggested that it be desirable to collect and preserve mementos of the war and build a great southern war museum, Mr. Rouss was I the first to come forward, and with his wonted liberality pledged the munifi cent sum of $100,000, subject only to the condition that the Confederate veterans and the people of the South generally should contribute a like amount. Thus the ball was set in motion that is now rolling forward and gathering strength. Contributions are now being made both by Confederate veteran camps and by individuals, while the Sons and Daughters of the Confederacy are not behind their elders in the determina tion that the patriotic endeavor 'shall be crowned with supreme sucess. Bub this is not all. Notwithstand ing his blindness Mr. Rouss maintains constant watch over the progress of the enterprise and spends money free ly in co-operating with his brother veterans of the South and lessening their labors. At an expense of several thousand dollars he has sent gentle men through the South to make special effort in the principal cities of that section. '* In a few days Colonel John J. Garnett will start on a similar mis sion, though his methods will differ from others in that he will seek to enlist public attention by the delivery of a lecture on the battle of G ettysburg, in which he took a prominent part as a lieutenant colonel of artillery. F. Gr. De Fontaine. A Novel Experiment. Some rather novel experiments are being conducted at the Vresleyan Uni versity, at Middletown, Conn., under direction of Prof. Atwater. The pro fessor has a theory that people eat too much, that they do not use proper judgment in the selection of food, and tnat they know too little about cooking. Especially is this true in the case of poor people, who purchase the great est bulk possible for the least amount of money, which necessarily gives them improper or impure food, and which is too frequently made worse by poor preparation. The professor has paid some attention to the negroes of the South, and holds the opinion that their health would be very much bet ter if they ate less fats and more vege table, and ate only fats of a pure quality. To aid him in the study of the nu trient values of foods, and the amounts necessary to give satisfactory results, Prof. Atwater has had con structed at the university an air-tight box, large enough to permit an adult to live comfortably in it for a week. The box is fitted with electrical appli ances for lighting, and for weighing and measuring. It has also apparatus for the admission of sterilized air, which is accurately measured as it is introduced, and for the exhaustion of the air that has been breathed. The air is kept at all times of a certain temperature, and perfectly pure and sweet. One week ago last Saturday Dr. Tower, an instructor at the uni versity, entered the box and was seal ed up therein. For seven consecutive days he was given this diet : Breakfast?Apples, 3 ounces; eggs, 6 ounces; potatoes, 5 ouncees; bread, 2 1-2 ounces; butter, 1-3 ounce; cof fee, 2-3 pint; milk, 1-5 pint; sugar, 34 ounce. Dinner ? Beefsteak, Hamburger style, 4 1-2 ounces; potatoes, 4 3-4 ounces; (plain-mashed) ; bread, 2 1-2 ounces; butter, 1-3 of an ounce ; tea or coffee, 2-5 of a quart; milk, 2 oun ces; sugar; 3-4 of an ounce, and can ned peaches or pears, 5 ounces. Supper?Peaches, 7 ounces; miik 1 pint; sugar, 1-3 of an ounce (on the fruit), and bread, 2 ""2 ounces. Dr. Tower took no exercise, except to stretch his arms and legs. At the end of his confinement he was taken out and found to be in first classs con dition, with muscles hard, digestion good, appetite good, mental condition excellent, and two pounds heavier than when he went in. From the foregoing it can be under stood that Prof. Atwater has demon strated at least some part of his the ory ; the subject came out of the box in improved physical condition. But just how the demonstration is to be applied is not mace clear by the news paper reports. Everybody cannot live in an air-tight box, even if by so doing the cost of living could be reduced to a few cents a wei?k. The probabili ties are that we shall hear more of the matter, when the professor has con cluded with another subject, whom he has locked up and will feed on an en tirely different class of food. If he can teach people to cook properly, and to eat only wholesome food, and not too much of it, he will have accom plished a most beneficent reformation. ?Savannah News. ?

The Reunion at Richmond. ftiCHMoxn, Va., April 3.?The indica tions fire that the com in? reunion here of Confederate veteraDB or>2June30 will be one of the most imposing gatherings of the kind ever held. The committee of arrangements, of which Gen. Peyton Wise is chairman, are daily receiving letters from camp commanders in all parts of the South in which the writers say the deepest interest is being taken in thiB event in their sections. Gen. Gor don, the chief marshal of the day, will be accompanied by lady members of hia family. Tbey will be the guest of Gen. Wiseduring their stay here. Tbe indications are that Mississippi, the State of Gen. Stephen D. Lee, who will be tbe orator on tbe occasion of th? laying of the corner-stone of tbe Davis monument on July 2, will send a large contingent. It Is probable that an in teresting feature of tbe Mississippi di vision may be the appearance here of the few survivors of the regiment of riflea from that State which Jefferson Davis commanded during tbe Mexican war. The suggestion for the formation of an immense choir to sing the familiar old Confederate songs some time during the reunion is meeting with general favor. Tbe idea is to get up a band, poesibly of four or five bundred Ringers, to render some of the airs familiar to the ears of every Confederate soldier. Among some of these are : "Maryland, m v Maryland," "Bonnie Blue Flag," '-Who'll Care for Mother Now," "Ju?t Before the Battle," "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are Marching," "All Quiet Along the Poto mac" und "Dixie." If this part of tbe programme is carried out, as it is now promised to be, it will be one of tbe most unique features of the reunion.?Balti more Sun. Falling Bebind Whites. Booker Washington, president of the Tuskegee Institute, the colored industrial school of Alabama, lectured in Washington on Friday night before the Bethel Literary Society. "The saddest thing in the condition of the colored man to-day," said the speaker, "is that he takes no part in the industrial life of this country. I was in a Northern city the other day, and I saw a church being erected by the hardearned pennies of our race, but the contractor would not let a colored man drive a single nail. The white men had made all the building material, and the colored people were paying them" to build the church, be cause they had no contractors in their own race competent to do the work. "It also seems that we are losing our hold on the industries we used to control. Some years ago, in the North, the colored barber had a monopoly on his trade. He did not put his brains into the business, as he should have done, and the white man is gradually taking the hrfsiness away from him. If you go to New York to-day yon can hardly find a colored barber. "If you go to Atlanta, where a few years ago there was nothing but color ed horse-shoers, you will see sign of 'Veterinary Horse Shoeing.' And you will not lind the black hbrse-shoers there. The white man knows more about the anatomy of the horse's hoof and he shoes the animal in a scientific manner. There is no room for the old negro horse-shoer. Only a few years ago in Atlanta you could see the old colored uncles going around the streets with along pole and a white wash brush and bucket. If you had them come in and white-wash your house they would wash the ceilings and the walls and carpets, and the furniture. Tbey gave no thought to their work. But if you look for those old colored men now you will find in stead the white 'house decorator' who understand;! something about the blending of colors, and who never drops a spot on the carpet or the furniture. The old man with his bucket and his long pole is not want ed. "Onr mothers and sisters, who once were the recognized laundresses of the country, are losing their' business. I was in Chicago recently and sent my laundry away in the morning and in the evening it was returned. Down South I used to send it away Monday morning, to my old colored washwoman, and I was lucky to get it back Satur day night. How long can our people hold the laundry business if the young men who are graduating from these industrial schools do not come South and build electric laundries to com pete with the white man, who has a machine now in which he washes one hundred shirts an hour ? "To-day 85 per cent of our people live irom agricultural pursuits, and we have but two scientific farmers in the whole race. But you may ask what is being done for this race at Tuskegee. The race is being educated to realize that the relation between the races will only improve so far as the negro- improves bis education. He must produce something which the white man wants before he will be recognized."?Washington Post. ? A farmer writes that 25 years ago he split whito oak posts for his garden fence, putting a peck of air slacked lime around each, and they are all good yet. He attributes their good condition to the effects of the lime, in which he is doubtless correct. It has been said that a board that has been used in a mortar bed, and thoroughly saturated with lime is al most indestructible from decay. ? A North Georgia man preaches a whole sermon in a few lines. He recently emigrated to Texas, and the first letter received from him by his Georgia relatives ran as follows : "I got here safe and sound; but I don't see any chance to make money to get back home on."

WetTSTEDT, Bvron, 111. AYER'S PILLS Highest Honors at World's Fair. Ayer'9 Saroaparilla Strengthens the System, .So Faith iu Registration. Columbia, April 10.?It does really seem as- if ihe gravity of the registration now going la not appreciated by the average voter. Indifference Beecos to be pr?valent in almost the entire S'ate and with the exception of a few locali ties tbe registration seems to be merely jogging along. In Colombia, where there is a population large enough to keep tbe reg istration officers constantly busy for at least several weeks, there has already been a decided falling off and the average lor tbe past day or two will not be fifty. But tbe conditions here are not different from what ibey are in other parts of tbe State, from what can bo heard and seen in the county papers. What is tbe cause of the slowness and apparent indifference has tobe guessed at. Of course there is an abundanoeof time, and it may be as it is with taxes, everyone will want to get in at the last minute, but it will be well to remember that every one oannot be attended to in a day or two where there is an examination to he bad. If there is not a decided spurt in the regis tration there will ba a deoided falling off j from even the number of thosevexpected to participate in the nextgeneral election, and added to this will be tbe com plica tions of tax receipts. The old registration law is now a thing of tbe pa?t, but it was in vogue for a very long time and some people may think that tbe new law is going to be allowed to operate as that one did. Tbat may be tne case, but it ought not to be so. In former years in some of the counties (it will be said for the sake of not giving any registration officer offence) it was tbe custom for the Demo cratic clubs to make up a roll of all of those who bad lost or were entitled to registration certificates and this liai; was banded into the registration officer. The club man would in du? time return and get the registration certificates for distri bution among tbe members of the club. Tbat is past and gone. It mav be done again, but if tbe registration officers bave any regard for tbe law and there is any way to prevent it such a thing ought to be avoided. It used to be charged tbat certain clubs could have this plan carried out, while others could not, and it de pended very much on tbe political faith of the Democratic applicants whether, they would be allowed to bunch tbe names and have tbe certificates made out at the convenience of tbe supervisor. The idea is tbat a groat many white men who have been accustomed to this order of things, ought to have the oid-time notion of having some one else attend to their certificates taken out of their heads, and that they should know that under the new law a personal visit is the only way to get the certificate. The colored voters are accustomed to have to wain and personally apply for their certificates, and they are ndw tbe most active in obtaining registration. It may be tbat there will be found on most of the boards men who will object to issuing certificates iu junches, even if so ordered by the "bosses" before election day, and the fafest plan will be for everyone who cares f r the right to vote to get a certificate, and the sooner the better. Tbe commissioners in Columbia are now, by direction, requiring tbe exhibi tion of a poll tax reoeipt before issuing a certificate. In cases where men bave failed to bring their certificate!) with them tbe commission 1b recogniziDg an "0. K." slip from the county treasurer to the f fleet that tbe poll tax has been paid. As a pointer it may be noted tbat tbe next Governor may appoint to the office of treasurer such candidates as are suggest ed by the county primaries.?Ne.ws and Couriw. -? ?i mm ? ?

I am very much pleased with tbe policy I bold with the Mutual Benefit, and I know of no other policy ist-ued bv any other com pany for wbi"h Jf would exchange mine with you. My return premiums or divi dends have been perfectly satisfactory, amounting every year so tar to more than twenty per ceDt of my annual premium. Yours truly, JOS. J. FRETWELL. Newberby. S. C, Oct. 1,1895. Mr. M. M Mattison, Mtr. Mntual Ben efit Life Insurance Co., Aoderaon, S. C? Dear Sir: Replying to jour favor of re cent date, asking my estimate of the value of a policy contract in tbe Mutual Benefit Life IoBurance Co., of Newark, N. J., I would say that my attention was called to the advantages of owning a policy in this Company about seven years ago by a friend of mine who was receiving 22 per cent dividend annually on a new policy, when I wa8(only getting about 10 per cent on my policy of $3000 in the Equitable Life and about 11 per cent on my $2000 policy rn the New York Life. Hiu cou tract and mine in these Companies being about tbe same age. I gave up these poli cies in the Eqnitable and New York Life and .took out two policies ot $ 000 eaoh in the Mutual Benefir. Life and tbe smallest dividend tbey have paid me was 20 per cent I carry $6000 besidea this in other Companies, bur, I regard tbe advantages offered by tbe Mutual B-nefit superior to any contract I have ever examined, espe cially tbe guaranteed face v<t)ue, the 30 per cent loan plan, the reputation for fcooomlcal management, the liberal ex tension features and tbe large dividends tbey have credited me with for tbe past six years. I would not hesitate to recom mend It to any one desiring reliable life insurance for tbe smallest cash outlay. Sincerely yonrs, A. C. JONES. DENTISTRY.
