I have heard others say they had the appetito, out were afraid to Indulgo it becalso of indigestion Such folks arO to h pitied. ihey have IM' sYmPatIY. 11utt I sinerely believe imht, work or physical exercise is at reliedy for both. I si)poSe tilat Shakespeatre suffered in this way, for he saVs, " Now, let ( igestion wait oil appetite and health on both."

Milto) uinderstood this trouble, too, for hei ses that Adam's sleep was sweet, being' bred f roni pure digestion. That' the wecret-working in t.he garden-I inherited thatt trait from1 the 01( l man Adamn. I mean -and I sleep sweetly. too, after I have worked in mny garden. There is no insomn n ia about me, but Mrs. Arp suaifersa from it sometimes when b 1il simi an ig like a hilppo)pota I was ruan mating about the value of a good garden to the faiwily -we had an excelleit dinner to-day, and I counted tip the cost. We havo live 11, the famni y. and the dinner cost us only C cits apiece, and there was enough left for two or three more. We had a small piece of middling Ileat, about half a pound, that was boiled with thc bean and there were seven dilferent kinds of vegetables from my garden The buttcr and buttermilk were home. made. The ricO and cornImieal ani bucklcelrries cost I little-not much. -ve*crythinug was well-cooked, and al] that was wanted was an appetite and good digestion. I am reasonably proud of my gardenr, for it is all my own work, I plre pared the ground and dressed it and opened the furrows and plaited the seed and cultivated t-he plants and kiilled the weeds, anld it is my 'special pleasure to watch everytling as it grows, and gat her the vegetables and wash them at tie back door and call the good wife and children out to see them and listen to their coiplieiniits. We have had a long dra-ougrhrt, but I had fortided agailst it. Every' hill was Iirest spaded out. a foot deep and tillled with wLter, and it had soaked into the ground I filled up the hole with a mixture of tOp ,oil anad ba Irnyard scrapinaig s and qifted ashes and put oi som more wat.er. Ivery furrow I o)en(led for ICiLns aid peas and beets I let water rin in it, and thi )ut tie fertilizer 'i and planted the seed. I had eighty holes to dig for tomatoes and forty for s iuashes, a id as many more for eu cum abers, and notwi thstanding the drought everything has grown vigor ously. It is hard work and takes pa tience to lay the foundation in this way, but it pays. My s(quash vines cover a S)aeC of four feet spuare to each hiih anid iiiy tomnat plants are tie feet high and ful of healthy fruit, Well, now to tell the whole truti, I have a hydrant in the center of th, garden and when the dry, hot weat.I was at its worst I opened smalI trench es close by the roots of the planits ani turned the water on and let it ru slowly and soalk in and afterward covered the trenches with dry dirl TPhis, too, is trouinble, bunt it paid well Some folks sprinkle, but that (le harm and no( good. It bakes the surfac and never reaches the roots-splrink I nothing but grass. Where wateri lenty and convenient there is no ox euse for a poor garden. It is better t dig deep and fertilize and euiltivat~e tneu rodt well than to skimi over hal an acre "nigger fashion "' andl see all dry up when the dry drought, a Cobe calls it, comeslC. Th'le intensiv system is the best for garden, I kno' fromt long experience. It made mi sad to see the cropis on the railrou bietween Miarietta and Atlanta th other daty. Acres and acres of cci not six inches high and cotton almoc invisible. It did look like perishir to death in the name of the Lord.

Gardening is the first work of wit we have any history, and it is tI most pleasant and healthy of all occ pations. If a man is a good garden, he will be a good farmer. As y< travel overland through the counti you can tell a good farmer by lookir at his garden, just as you can toll good wife and daughter by looking t~he flowers and vines in the front yar They are a sign of. good taste and r finoment and good housekeeping ar (entenltment.

IllS110TY OF0 A GOLD PiIC. ,Jefferson Davis Ha1.d It When lie Was Captur11ed 11n 1805. Was~hington P'ost. It was a noticeable fact in connec tion with the recent excilses of the utinveling and dedicating of the Gen oral 'Hancock statue that General Miles. commander inl chief of the army, who was in command of the mil itary parade, made a decited change in the personnel of his stall ollicers for the occasion. When the war closed General MIiles was in command of the fiest division of the Second Army Corps, which was comimianded by Geneal ll ancock. Of the half dozen otlicers then composing General M iles's stall, four still survive, and these wore p resent, to take part in the statue inveiling ceremtion ies. Ono came all the way from North Dakota, another fromti M ich igan, the t hird from Ohio. and the fourth from New York, and they had not all been together he fore for twenty-live years. When making up a list of those Who should ,compose his staff for the ocea SiOl, General l i les paid a viy grace fill tribute to hisi old stall ollicers by announcing that as president of the SocietLy of the Second Ar 0'y Corps and the rankIcing ollicer u Ider ( Crai II lan cock, he felt that he would be justilied in choosing the few survivors Of his old stall" to the excihusion of his pres cut staff. As a Consequectce., General MIiles marched on foot dow n l'ennsyl van ia avenue w ith the f~ilour memiibers of his former stall at the head of the parade, as they had so often marched Or rilden on other far more dangerous occasions more than thirty years be fore. General Nathan Church, the Alichi gain representative of the quartet of the old ollicers, who rose from captain to colonel of the famous Twenty-sixth Mlichigan, and the"A to assiutant gene ral and chief 0' stalf un1(der General iiles, showed 'weith muich0 pride whl e j in Washingtoa a $.- gold piece that has a wonderfuil history.

Thrilling Expriolcttee or a outi: Carolina Coiinand in that Fearfnll ilsaster.. By request of his comrades Capt. U C. Halo, of Camden, has given the fol. lowing account of the battle of the Crator on the 30th of July, 1864. At that timo ho was leirat LIoutenant of Company A, 23rd Ieglment S. C. V., commanded by Col. H. L. Benbow, Eltliott's Brigade, Bushrod Johnson's 1I vision. On the day previous to the explosion we occupied that portion of the line which was blown up, at a four gun battery situatcd ol an elevation, at an angle of the breatworks said to be the nearest point to the enemy's lines. Wo moved to the right the day beforo j ust far enough to make roomtI for another Regiment, 22d S. C. V., Col. Vieming, which occupied the ground that was blown up. Capt. Shedd, of l"airlicld, one of the ollcers or the 22d Rlegimnent, that wias blown ip, occupied thu samo position I did the night be fore the explosion. lie wts partially buried on the right edge of the Crater. He crawled oit where lie ha(1 roet.i red to sleep. feil in with our regimnent, batrefootedl without coat ort, hat.. re mained with Us (u'ing tt battle, renldering all tho assistance hto could, having lost, his comlpany inl thu explos ion. Adjutant lleming of the samto rcgimer.t., also rendered good service, who was a brother of the Col., who was buried in the explosion. About dawn of the 30th of .Luly tile explosion occurred, blowing up the battery and the greator portiotn of the 2:'d lhegimnent. throwing 0one or two of the canons over in front of our line --about Iifty feet. The . guns were brought back and iounted again. This was accomplishe(d by means of a wi ndlass and ropes over a covered zigzag courso Which was dug for the i1l11ose, and bo cotstructed for con cealment and protect.ion from the eletiy's lire. A t ie ti te of tho ex ilosion I Iad ju)st5 stai'ted ol tO) get sotle auntuinition for the sharp shooters, wiho had nealty exhate3d the suppIly. The enemy was prepared to make a charge immtnediately after the explosion during th .i excitemlcnt ald confusion c'cated therehy. We i miul iately formed line of battle and held the enemy in check. As thiey atteiptedl to c'oss the line at the crat'er we poured volley after volley into teir r anks and drove them back into the pit, or crater, which was a protection to them for the time, but when our line of morters in the Iar of our position opelcd oil them, throw ing shells over us into the crater, they w ele aLw fully slaughtered. They were held in check until late in the after noon. Our regiment leaving no field ollicers for duty on that day, Capt. Rufus White, of Charleston, was in command. lic was wounded early in the early part, of the battle. Licut. Stone, of C iester, was next in comtimand. lo was also wounded. The command of the regiment then devolved on me, I beintg the tnext ratnk irg ollicer. I iin metdhiately ordered a charge, as we were exposed to a cross fire front and lank. At that juncture, we were re. inforced by Gen. Mahono's Division just in ti me to make a simultaneous charge. We charged on the crater' on the right; .ltahone on the left, wherc the enemy had entered our lines. We, the 2:'d iegiment, lost heavily, in eluding three color bearers. The next (ay hostilities were suspended b mutual consent for several hout's, ii order to remove and bury the dead The two armies formed line in f ront o each other, whilst a detachment fron each was enigagedl in removing th< Ldead.

Tillmnan of South Carolina, and asked for his views on the situation. lie said that one membi er of his fam ily was occuipy' ing enough public attention just then. and he (lid not care to talk for publ ica tion. WVe had a somewhat extended pirivate conver-sation, however, in the course of which Mr. Tilliman made this remarkable statement :"What Ale kinley ? lie has no mor~ie chance of eLite!on than you have. T1he politi cians do not seem to reali. tyt u the demanud that is going up from the pe-ople for the restoration of silvei coinage cannot be resisted ; it is a rev olution, that will sweep everything biefore it." The writer responded that he believed that would be the result when the revolution came, but lie feared it was further in the future. "No, sir, it is here already, an]l you will see when the State conventions are held that silver wili sweep the country likce a prarie flire; It is a ie volution, moy friend, and the people are tripe for it.
