HEROINE OF '76. > year 1770, a small palisade erected upon the alto now oc ' the city of Wheollng. The surrounded by the cabins of era and was named In honor of .t Vir 'hm orator and patriot, Henry. ) morning of tho first ol Sop 1777, a scout appeared in tho lounoicg tho near approach of lod Simon Girty with a largo savages.

It was in charge of teppard. oiling of Colonel Ebonozor I about sixty yards distant palisade. In this building id supplies of various kinds, was very doslrablo to pro , tho house occupying a fa itlon to aid in resisting the .as decided to mako tho do both points. In tho dwoll ,hu attack was inado, thoro gbt porsous, four mon and i, including tho nogro cook ). vttn-' a ro tho fort. Colonel Sheppard, not being willing to order any ono to the/duty, asked for a volunteer. Every man present eagerly offered to uuifertako the hazardous duty, and while they were contending for the honor It was feared that before tho question was settled and the powder obtained the savages would renew tho attack. At this moment Elizabeth Zane?or Fatty, as she was usually called?a young girl just returned home from school In Philadelphia, but little ac customed to the horrors of border war faro, came forward and asked to be permitted to go for tho powder, alleg ing as a reason for her going that not a man could be spared from the do fence of the fort. Whoever unddr takes tire duty will be In great danger of killed or seriously wounded, and if I fall I will not be missed In tho dofenco of tho fort. I have no foars for tho re sult, God will protect me." Bo earnest was tho appeal of the young heroine that consent was reluc tantly given. There was no time to lose. Kueellng for a moment In pray er, she arose with a smile upon her beautiful face, saying, " I am ready." Tho gate was thrown opon. She sal llod forth and soon cleared tho spaco between the fort and her brother's house, which aho --cached in safety. 1 Not ono shot was fired. Buch action on the port of tho savagos could not be accounted for, unioss the movomont | was so suddon and rapid that they had not, time to roalizo tho situation, and : thon It was only a "squaw." A tablo- , clothe, containing tho contents of tho keg of powdor, was hurriedly fastoned about nor waist, and sho started upon her roturu trip, running with tho Hoot- ; noss of a fawn toward the fort, hor ! long, glossy curls floating back from ' hor bare head, upon which the mild rays of tho early autumn sun fell so chooringly. Tho wary savages, who wore watching her movements, now | sent a volloy of bullots after her, but not ono of them touched hor. Tho no bio girl entered the fort in safoty with hor valuable prize. A prolonged shout of welcome greeted hor, and every man, inspirod by hor heroism, resolved to ropulso tho foo or dio in tho at tempt. During tho following night Colonel Swearingcn and fourteen men arrived , and fought their way Into tho fort without ' losing a man. And at day light, Major McOullOOh arrived with forty mounted men.

Tho price of middling cotton in Now York is now 5 t) Hi per pound, ugainst 7 5-8 cents on March 1, 18i)4, whilo corn is now 45 cents per bushol in its Chicago, against .'15 cents a year ago. The deciino in cotton* is over 20 per cent., whilo tho advance in corn is 80 per cent. New York quotations for cotton and tho Chicago quotations for corn, however, do not really \ present tho economic aspect ot tho matter In strongest light, as tho cotton grower doos notrecuivo the necessary price for his cotton, but actually gets very much less, as freight to Now York and all handling and selling charges and tho cotton buyer's profits have to bo de ducted, so that tho planter ut present pricos only obtains about 4 cents per pound for middling cotton and tho crop will not average so high in quality as that grade. Neither doos he get at tho Chicago price tho corn ho has to buy, as freight and churgos and usually as largo profit uro added to the Chicago price, so that to-day tho Southern farmer who buys corn instead of raising it, bos to pay (Jo to 70 cents per bushel for it. Corn is tho most important cereal for tho South, as its abundance and cheapness insure umplo food for the farmors und thoir unimals, while an insufllciont supply and high pricos involvo tllO. opposite results. Tho Southorn oottoiVr-growers obtain a largo proportion of thef*'vgrnin and moat from othor sections (if . tho country. Confronted now with a largi\?hrlnkago?i| In tho valuo of cotton, coincicVint with a great appreciation in tho vuJ^e of corn, tho situation seems to hnpdftu tivoly domund of tho cotton growers a4 roductlon this spring of tho acreago ' devotod to cotton and incroaso in tho aoreago glvon to food and forage crops. Tho prosontdoprossion in cotton is duo in a groat part to tho vory largo stocks In tho European and American markets and tho fear that tho aoreago in cotton will not bo reduced this your. Notwithstanding the fact that the spinners havo bought much more cot ton than last season, tho stocks in tho European and Amorican markets are 400,000 balos moro than at this timo last year. The prico of cotton is at tho lowest point since 1848, and a largo crop ?bis yoar would undoubtedly send it still lower. Every plantor knows that pros sent prices of cotton nro much below tho avorago cost of production. In view of the facts stated, I earnest ly recommend as manifestly for the best Interests of tho cotton growers ol tho country a vory material curtail ment of cotton acroago this spring, and an incroaso in all food und forugo crops, and that greater attention be glvon to tho raising of IIvo stock and farm animals. Food crops of ovory description should be raised on afl farms and cotton should bo mado a surplus or money orop. It Is prohiblo that a modorato cotton crop this year will soli fo ractually moro money than a largo crop. Very respectfully. ALFKKU B. SHRPP8R80N. A DKCtiARATION OF PItlNCIlMI OS Htntement of the Issue on Which tho New Party Will Orjcunlze?Silver Mon Must Stand Touelher and Throw off Old Party Tics. The following statomont has boon Is sued by tho Amorloan Bl-inotalllc beafner: "The. money question is now indis putably the dominant issue in tho ^Jn I ted States and will romaln so until 'settled rightly. Other quostlons, how ' over important, must wait for this which, to a greater or less extent, In volves all others. The Issue Ik be tween the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currently, on the quo side, and tho bl-mutalllo standard, no bonds and government currency on the other. -'First: On tbfs issue wo 4o0lsro oursolvesj to bo unalterably opposed t<> i tho pinglo gold standard and do round the homed late return to the constiti - tlonttl'standard of gold and btlvor, by J the restoration by this government, In dependently of auy foreign powors, of tho unrestricted coinage of both sil ver and gold into stuudurd money, at the ratio of 10 to 1, and upon terms of exactly equality, the silver eolu to bo a full legal tender, equally with gold, (or a'l tn bts and dues, public nud private. "aeoond: Wo hold that the power to control and regulate papor curreuey is insoparablo from the [lower to coin money ; and hence that all currency intended to ohonlute as money should bo issued, and Its volume controlled, bv the general government only ami should be logal tender. "Third: We aro unalterably op : posed to tho iasuo by tho United States I of Into res t-boaring bonds in time o( ! peace, and domund the payment of ull coin obligation* of tho United States, as provided by existing laws, in oither gold or silver coin at-tho opt on of tho govornmont aud not at tho option of tho creditor. "On this issue wo appeal from the dictation of tho money powor to tho Intelligence and patriotism of tho American pcoplo." A long address follows the declara tion, which boglus: "Tho signers of tho Declaration of Iudopendeneo hold thut a decent re spect for the opinions of mankind re quired that reasons should bo given for dissolving tho bonds that had bound the Colonies to Great Britain, so wo, who llnd It necessary to sovor our relations with tho political parties with which we havo heretofore acted, and form new alliancos in a common cause, deem it proper that some of tho reasons which compel us to this action should bo submitted to a candid public, j Those in favor of tho gold utundurd have been united in purposo and ac tion. Party lines do not divido them j when this issuo is raised. On the ot hor hand, those who aro in favor of a return to tho constitutional standard | of gold and sllycr aro split into us many divisions ns thcro are parties, j Several Ropublicans from tho West aud South, to the groat dolight of tho j leaders of tho Republican party, insist on contending for their cause only Within the linos of that party ; und Southern and Western Democrats, : earnest sliver men, equally to tho do-1 light of the leaders of tho Democratic party, continue tho contest on thoir part only within tho linos of tho Dem? j ocratic party. In othor words, the ad vocates of tho bl-metalllo standard, through tho unrestricted coinage of silver as well as gold, now contend for thoir eauso in organizations which arc controlled by tho gold party. Hence, however zealous in tho cause ono may be, no results aro possible because his j party refuse ??? ??'<rry out his views, or i ?e ?? -ried out 11 A I L.

Nor Much ok a 6ifi\?-Farmers, j oven those who are considered rather' " nigh " In other respects, arc usually quite willing to givo foot-passengers a ' " lift;'' but thoy like to be askod for tho favor politely. A native of Hill- : viile was returning from tho county fair at lirookby witli au empty wagon, when ho overtook a smartly dressed young man who was plodding along with tho disgusted air of ono unused to country roads and sandy soil. " Hullo, hayseed I" cried the foot passongor, turning around us ho hoard tho rattle of wagon wheels, and stand ing still until the farmer drove up. "Can u fellow net a lift to "Scotiset V" and without waiting for a reply, he vaulted into tho wagon. " I might as well ride with you as to walk, 1 guess. Now, then, start up your nag.'' Tho farmer looked at t he young man a little sharply, but said nothing beyond a ''Glt-apl" addressed to his horse. After two or throe miles had boon traversed, tho young man paused for a moment in his Inconsequent chatter and remarked : "It's moro of a distance to 'Sconsct than I supposed."' "It is quite u distance," responded tho fai'iaor In a non-committal tone. Another twenty minutes passed, aud then the young man injuirud: '? About how far Is it to 'Sconsot ?" "Well," replied tho farmer, "koepin straight ahead, tho way we're goiu' now, I sh'd say 'twould bo a matter o' twenty-live thousand miles or so; but ef so bo you was favorable t' gottin' aouto' my wagon au' hoolin' it back, it ain't much above olght miles." Tho young man got out with great celerity, and proceeded to "hoof it" in tho opposite direction. " I cnl'iato," said tho farmer, telling his wifu tho story afterward, "I cal'late his modo of uddrossln1 th' next man ho meets will bo soino dilY'ront." VThero is moro solid comfort in a s nyo than in a whole grows of frowns, it is good economy to smllo.

Tho practice of bicycling has in creased with such astonishing rapid ity as to have become one of tho dis tinguishing features of modern so ciety. The connection of this art with the development of an extend ed system of good roads is obviously very close, and as tho roads of this country are still to a great ex tent ill-constructed, the uso of the bicycle may be regarded as hero In its Infancy. In tho older countries, where tho density of population is such as to mako tho oxpenso of building perfect roads tolerable, bi pyclors have multiplied to suoh an ex tout us to far outnumber, appar ently, thoso who uso horsos. Ono satisfactory result of this new sys tem for tourists promises to bo the rehabilitation of tho wayside Inn; an institution which was practically ruined in this country by tho decay of tho stage coach. An experiment recently tried In England shows that it Is not Improbable that the art of war may receive somo modifi cation from this new method of movement. A club of cyclists, wishing to show what might bo done in the way of carrying dispatches in time of war, when other means of communication had broken down, asked tho war of fice to let them carry a dlspotoh from London to Edinburgh and bring back a reply. The war offlco, with tho usual stupidity of a government bureau, declined to have anything to do with tho matter, but It was arranged with the Pall Mall Ga zette that their offices in the two cities should be used as termini. Relays of cyclists, riding in pairs to avoid loss of timo by accident, wero duly stationed, and tho lotter onco^ started was carried through Eng land, us the Spectator says, like a fiery cross. The weather was ex tremely bad, the rain falling in tor rents and a bead wind being encoun tered all tho way to Edinburgh. Neverthe less between 10 o'clock of u Thursday morning and 2:27 of tho next Saturday the dispatch was car ried to its destination and the, an swer brought back. The distance of 800 miles was thus covered in 52 hours and 27 minutes, an average of 15J mUcsan hour.? Ib the vory best days of coaching the shortest time made between London and Edin burgh was 42 hours and 23 minutes. Such a result as this will open the eyes of tho war offices of the conti nent If not of England. It indicate* that wo may presently see bodies of cyclists attached as orderlies to tho staff of every general. Nor is it im probable that such a body would not take the place, for many pur poses, of cavalry. Tho same causes that lead men to sell their horses and take to bicycles will bo opera tive in military economy. In this peaceful land wo may not witness such a development of bicycling as this; but wo shall bo contented if it leads to the Improvement of our roads and hostolrios.?N. Y.

Did it over occur to you to thick ot the difference in signification of the two words ?'seems" and "appears?" We say "it seems to be true" or "it appears to be true." Are those expressions iden tical? Or if there )>e a difference, what is it? Thore is a difference, and it consists chiefly in the strength of the expression. If we read a story and say, 'That story seems to he truo," we mean that it ba the semblance of truth and we infer t ha; it is true. If we say, "That story ap pears to bo true," we mean that the state ments mado in it or tho incidents re lated go to show its truth. In other words, "appears" rofors to the actual presentation of something to our view; "seems" rofors to an inference of our mind nB to tho probability of a thing's being true,?Philadelphia Times.
