There is no term which is more abused than the word '"practical."" It is made tornean anything and everything, and those who are the most rabid in insisting npon it that theirs is toe only orthodox and correct definition are the ones whe abuse it the most and lower it most ef? fectually. They narrow it down until it is the synonym of imperfection and incom? pleteness; until it represents crude, blun? dering rule-of-thumb methods. To ac? cept the most frequently given definition of the word, it would be applied to the rude methods cf r>ivigatiou of five cen? turies ago instead of to the superior and .successful systems of today. The tentative coast navigation of the Phoenicians would be called practical, and the scientific, systematic, everyday plan adopted by the ocean racers and the ocean l*easts of burden, wbkh run rn a ?et coarse and leave an?! arrive by a predetermined time table, would be deemed **tlieoreiical." How many sins are conmcired in the name of "practi? cal" matters and .'practical" doctrine! .New York Continent. fla?) il? of Work and College Ufe.

"lOopyrigbt, 1381. by American Press Associa? tion Kook rights reserved.] MKRICAX colo? nists in Texas suf? fered so much from the interference of usurping Mexican rulers that in the summer of 1 835 they began to fight for independence. Gen. Houston took command of the Texan army in November, and on Dec 10 a brilliant victory at San Antonio de Bexar diwethe entire Mexican army from the stat?. Santa Anna, the reigning dictator, immediately potan army fla motion to overrun the Tex ansiftnd on the 23d of February drew up in front of San Antonio. His plan, de? clared in ml vance, was to drive all revolu? tionists out of Texas, together with all for? eigners near the sea coast and on the bor? ders of the United States; to remove from Texas all colonists not daiy^entercd accord? ing to Mexican .rules, and' to permit no Anglo-American to settle there. The ex? pense of tiie war was to be saddled upou toe Texans. Houston did not propose to meet the in- , vaners on the outposts, lie deemed the Texas army too weak, and had no faith in j tbepromiscsof friendly Mexicans along the j border. He ordered the position nt San Antonio to be abandoned, the works de raolished and the artillery withdrawn to the interior. Thc stronghold of thc Texans ! it San Autonio was the stone inclosure and wildings of tue old Alamo mission on the east hank of the San Antonio river and op? posite the city. It was occupied by a force Of 145 men nuder command of Lieut, Col W. Ik Travis. Travis liad been sent to the Alamo after its nlianrfonment under Hous? ton's orders, by Governor Smith. The art il- j lery had not been removed, and Travis set to work to prepare for a defense against Santa Anna'sarmy. He asked the govern? ment for 500 regular troops, and sent word to several outlying detachments to cometo his aid. The Alamo was not a fortress, but would answer the purpose very well if j properly manned and supplied with provis- j ions and ammunition. On the side toward j the town and facing the enemy was a wall thirty-three inches thick, and on the south, ! (be approach coming from the bridge, was r. prison structure, a church, and a yard wall. The entrance was on the south. Sravis had fourteen cannon, and ptaced them on the north, south and east. The place was well supplied with water, but. pro? visions were short. On the approach of Santa Anna's army thc Texan Guard in the city of San An touio retired to the Alamo. The dictator at once demauded the surrender of Travis' command without terms. The answer to the demand was a shot from the fort, ?nd Santa Anna opened a bombardment, at the same time running up the red flag as a token of his purpose. His cannonading produced little damage, and thc next day, Feb. 24, Travis sent out a messenger to. arouse the people and his comrades elsewhere to come to his support. Said he: "I am besieged by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continued bombardment for twenty-four hours, and have not lost a man. The enemy have demanded n sur? render at discretion; otherwise the garri? son is to be put to the sword, if the {dace !s taken. I have answered the summons with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then I call on you in the name of liberty, of patriotism, and of everything dear to the American character to come to- our aid with all des? patch. The enemy are receiving re-enforce? ments daily, and will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. Though this call may be neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible, and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor and that of his country. Victory or death!" In a postscript he stated that he l>egan thedefense with only three bushels of corn, but had since gathered ninety bushels and twenty or thirty beeves. The following day Santa Anna crossed the San Antonio with a battalion, and at? tempted to plant a lottery in frotit of the gate <>f the Alamo. Travis resisted .stoutly, and though thc Mexicans were re-enforced he drove, them off. during the night, how? ever, they succeeded in getting two l?t teries established under protection of some houses. They also posted some cavalry aron ml the place On the 2?tb .Santa Anna receiver! additional troops and increased the number stationed l>efore the Alamo. Tlie Texans sallied ont at night and de? stroyed a number -of houses that might LISTENING FOB THE SIGNAL. serve ns cover to the enemy. On the 2Sth I he Mexicans planted a battery on the uorth and wrre able to fire on the Alamo from three sides. On the morning of March I thirty-twc men, led by Opt. John W. Smith, eutered the Alamo from Gonzales, and they were the last reserve within seventy miles of San Antonio, while the intervening coun? try was overrun with Mexican cavalry. Travis was saving of ammunition, espe? cially ofthat of his artillery. Every morn? ing, at sunrise, and again at noon and at night, he fired a signal gun to announce to the people that the fort still held out. The 2d ami .'ki the attack increased in vigor, the Texans lighting as well as they could. The Mexicans finally erected a battery withiti musket shot. Travis sent out the last mes? senger that ever left the Alamo and notified the government of his situation. I le said that the blood red banners of Santa Anna meant a war of vengeance against the rehels. The same messenger carried letters to Travis' friends. In one he said: "I have held t his place ten days against a force vari? ously estimated from U>00 to ?,000, and 1 ?hali continue to hold it until I get relief for my countrymen or I will perish io its defense." Gen. Houston was at the seat of govern? ment when Travis' dispatch reached there on March G. The convention of republi? cans then in session proposed to adjourn and march to the relief of Travis, but. Houston, in a vehement speech, dissuaded them. In the crisis then existing in Texa* he thought that a government was the first requisite, nn?l he himself would go to the relief of the Alamo. Finishing his appeal ami mounting his horse he set out with four or live companions. They rode all night, and the next morning, the 7t.li, Houston put his ear to the ground to catch, if possible, the sound of Travia' sig? nal gun. For the first time in ninny days the signal failed tp appear. Meanwhile the drama at the Alamo had slowly reached the Iragie climax. A coun? cil of war in the .Mexican camps bad de? clared for assault. Opinion was divider! as to the time, soma favoring ?he tit h and others of the generals the 7?h. Santa Anna decided on the <>thf which was Sun? day, and on the morning of that day the Mexican infantry was foruml in front of the walls of the Alamo. Ik-hind the in? fantry a line of cavalry was stationed, with orders to cut down the former should they fail to press the assault. At daylight the ladders were against the walls, and scaling parties attempted to mount them, but thc Texans bravely drove them 'jil. A second attemnt m*'t the same fat?*. btu on the third the presence of Saura Anna among bis inen inspired them to unusual valor, and many reached the top of the wall. The first of them were cut down hy the Texans, but others followed in such overwhelming numbers that the defenders could do no more than protect their own persons. The place was soon filled with Mexicans. The Texans, too closely pressed to load and fire, clubbed their guns and beat oflf their assailants, anti kept this up until but a handful remained. If any cried for quarter the appeal was unheeded. The stone church building, located in >ne corner, was used as a magazine, and it bad been arranged among the defenders lhat when all was lost some one should fire the powder and destroy friend and foe. Maj. Evans the ordnance officer, attempt? ed to do this, but w? shot down. At last there were only seven survivors of the Texan fighting band. Among them was Col. Bowie, the adventurer, whose name has l>een handed down with the celebrated weapon he declared was better than a pistol in border struggles, the noiseless bowie knife. Col. David Crockett was also among them. Crockett and five companions sur? rendered to the Mexican general leading the assault, and were taken before Santa Anna, who instantly ordered them dis? patched. Crockett was stabbed several times. Bowie was sick in bed in the hos? pital, but he shot down several Mexicans before he was killed. When the sun was an hour high every man of the ?S8 who took part in the defeuse lay dead. They . DAVY CROCKETT. had made thc Mexicans pay dearly for their victory, however. Throughout the siege the rifles of these accomplished marksmen had been busy, and from loopholes in the wails of the buildings they had kept upa steady fire upon the enemy. Daring the assault they twice cleared the wall of the assailants. According to Mexican accounts 521 of Santa Anna's men were killed and about 1,000 were wounded. Thc bodies of the Texans were horribly mutilated by sword and lance, and then placed in a heap and burned. The victims of the Alamo were chiefly Americans who had emigrated to Texas under the Mexican colonization laws which Santa Anna abrogated. The de? voted bravery of Travis and Iiis heroic band was not in vain. True the Alamo had fallen, and the wai' was opened to. Santa Anna to pour hi's battalions upon Texas. But the news of the siege and of the gallant cou duct of the intrepid handful thrilled throughout the state. For days the salutation on every tongue was, "What of the Alamo?*' The governor, the gen? erals the council, the volunteers, the reg? ulars, friends in all the borders and out? side, knew that in the name of American liberty and of the independent state of Texas l?u men were standing tip away out on the border and hurling magnificent de? fiance at the usurping monster who coolly set aside ail laws of right and humanity, and proscribed men for daring to assert, their manhood. Travis' messages were as bugle notes borne on willing winds. From lip to lip, from ear to ear, they sped, and before the terrible story of tho final horror had been let loose to chill men's hearts, their souls had been fired with the "quenchable flame "of patriotism. "Fel? low citizens," "compatriots," "country? men" were the ringing terras used by Travis in his appeals to the colonists, and in a moment a little nation was born, for every man who heard those appeals said, **Aye!aye!". When the awful tragedy be? came known all hearts stood still a second as if to gather fresh accyss of anger heated blood, and then there burst forth the cry, "Remember the A tamo!" So the men of a montent before were transformed into heroes, and rushed forth to wipe out a stain and to make a state. They did it, and Travis and his martyrs were avenged. When subsequent victories placed San Antonio within the Texas lines a small command of soldiers under Houston's or? ders gathered the ashes of the gallant dead and placed them in a neat coffin, whereon were engraved the names of Travis, Bowie and Crockett. The casket was t hen buried with military honors. Some years later thc event was marked by a monument bearing the inscription, "Thermopylae had its messenger of defeat; the Alamo bad none."

I think it may be of service to record a simple means by which I obtained the re? moval of a broken needle from the heel of a young girl, aged twelve, whom I saw walking about on ber toes to avoid her right heel, into which a needle bad been broken, touching the ground. The buried end could be felt, but any pressure led to its further entry. I directed her to wear a large thick corn plaster around the spot, with a little wet cotton wool in the centre, and to tread freely on the heel. Within a week afterward Rite showed me the needle, which had protruded, and she had easily withdrawn it. Thus no wound was made, and no scar left to be a tender spot on the plantar surface.-Chas.

There are the foot? hills and some of the mountains of the Blue Ridge, or at least, of a spar of that cbaio. The streams never had any troot or fish of aoy sort in them. Yet on tho other side of the mountains al] the waters were richly stocked. Doe year, not so long ago, Gen. Wade Hampton, who bad summered there from boyhood, took a barrel in a wagon and went over the mountains to get as many troot as he could. He came back with plenty, and whenever be crossed a stream on the east side of the range be threw a handful of young trout in and passed along. Like Bre'r Fox, he said oothing to nobody. In a year or two he went again and fished surreptitiously in the waters that were supposed never to have known a fish. He caught plen? ty. The next year the sparse popula? tion discovered their existence. Now the streams abound with splendid trout. IS MF? WORTH LIVING ? Nut if you go through the world a dyo-pepiic.
