Mr ' '111 4.1, 1 Tkosw Bare Things. I have repeatedly advised my readers, aays a writer in the North Americac Review, that any concern that will guarantee more than the legal rate of interest may be set down as a fraud. Millions of idle capital are seeking in vestment in New York, at the legal rate of interest, and will pay a bonus to ob tain this rute. Much of this capital is invested at only two or three per cent interest. It is therefore unnecessary for thoM who have "sure things" in the Investment line to hunt up subscrib ers. The police of New York have just broken op a gang which has been op- : crating as hunkers and brokers, in 1 haodaonst offices m-ar Wall street, and which has scattered alluring circulars ! throughout the country, explaining how enormous prolits could lie made in I wheat and stocks, because of the firm's ! alleged close connection with Armour, Letter and other famous operators.

A I'aloa Sentry's Providential Pres erratlon from n Confed eral Ballet. We were discussing war and interest ing poincidents, wken Col. Swaiu, of Chicago, who saw service all through the civil war. repeatad a story which Gen. Black had told him anly the week before. Some time ago Gen. Bleeh and his wife were taking a trip on the uppe" Mississippi. After being out a few days it was noticed that the same group of people were constantly finding them selves together; and in seeking the tea son for their unusual congeniality li transpired that the men of the partj wpre ull old army men. Whereupon .he swapping of Stories became the order of the day. One evening Bfl old veteran started a discussion ns to whether there was such a thing ns spec ial Providence. "This Is not the first time I have raised this question," said he. after the controversy was in full swing. " The last time was in '64, when we boys were bivouacked before Atlanta. It was try night for sentinel duty, and right in the midst of the debate I wns obliged to leave nnd go to my post. "It was a frightfully dark night, the enemy was near, the country full of pit falls, and I knew that my life was in momentary peril. Of course I had faced just us great risks many times before, but somehow on this particular night I began lo dwell upon the terrors which surrounded me. until I was in u state of nervous collapse. Then my mind went back to our discussion upon spe cial Providence, nnd to calm my fear I began singing 'JeSUS, Iiver of My Soul.' very much upon the principle of n boy who whistles in going through the woods, "1 sang the hymn through to the end, nnd by the ti I had finished I wai perfectly calm and fearless. I some how felt Mill I a special protection was round and about me. and in looking back to that t Ight I always bavc exact ly the wiin feeling. . One of lie.' Ii eners hud seemed to take an extraordinary interest In the v. "RAISED MY (1! N." recital. At the end he asked: "Did you say that happened before Atlanta?" "Yes." "in the fall of 'CI?" "Yes." "Well, my friend. 1 was in the con federate army stationed at Atlanta. I was reconnoltering one evening when I chanced to pas near a sentinel of tho northern army at his post. 1 thought that the lust thing I could do for my country was to pop him over, and raised my gun to my shoulder, took careful aim. when just at Ihnt moment he broke forth singing 'Jesus, I.over of My Soul.' I dropped my gun instantly, Faying to myself: 'No! I can't kill that man were he ten times my en emy.' " The two old veterans instinctively clasped hands, whin some one, to break the spell, which was becoming n little tense, asked: "Well, was that a ease of special Providence?" Host on Olobe. irnnt's Toilet In Cnntp. In the night of the 14th Lee began to move troops to his right. (Irnnt now directed Hancock's corps to be with drawn and massed behind the center of cur line, so that it could be moved romptly in either direction. When the general got br.ck to camp that evening his clothes were n mass of mud from head to foot, his uniform being scarcely recognizable, fie sat until bed time without makingany change in his dress; he never seemed particularly in commoded by the travel-stained con dition of his outer garments, but was scrupulously enreful, even in the most active campaigns, about the clennli'iesr. 1 of his linen nnd his person. The only chance for a bath was in having n barrel sawed in two and using the half of Has B sort of sitz bath. During most of this campaign the general, like the staff ofticcrs, used this method of bathing, . cr, ns our English friends would say. "tubbing." Afterwards he supplied himself with a portable rubber bathtub. While Campaign "fe 's not " If001' school for the cultivation of squeamisliness, and while the general was always ready to rough it in camp, yet he was par ticularly modest in performing his toilet, and his tent fronts were always tied close, and the most perfect privacy wns secured, when he wns washing, or changing his clothes.

MARKETING WHEAT. lonu Alliance Advises Western runn ers t Hold The'' roaa for an Advanea in Pride. The Farmers' alliance of VYnpeilo OOUnty, la., has issued the following Oil- v'.ce lo ra fitters .if the stale ns to hold ing wheat for higher prices: Within u short time a steady advance up to ''ie .75-cent mark at northwestern shipping points Is certain as death; and ihe fann ers have the game in their own hands if they play with a little caution. The reason upon which we base our faith in the belter price for wheat is that when the crop of was harvested the world's supply from former years was practically exhausted, and the bread eating world is now drawing- its sup plies from the crop of Ihe present year. In other years, and for many years, the old stocks amounted to hundreds of millions of bushels when the crop of any given year was harvested, nnd in reckoning on the world's supply the gamblers counted the old wheat as well ns the new. This year there is no oi l wheat on which they can reckon. The , low price of wheat during ten years preceding 1807 was due no( to n surplus in any given year, but to the accumula tions of preceding years. The chief cause has now temporarily disappeared. . Again, the ncute distress which for I three or four years afflicted many farm I erg in the northwest is no longer In siglit. Fanners generally are In lietter I shape to protect themselves ngninst the vulgar wiles of bulls and bears; nnd those animals are perfectly aware of the situation. Nealcct Means (irrnt LOSS, A thoughtful farmer soon learns that there is no money in neglect or In suf fering. If a cow goes hungry or gets n drubbing from the cross hired man, she records her woes in the milk pall. If the horse baa sore teeth or a nail in his foot or is fed poor hay, his endurance, condition nnd constitution show the ef fects. Even a sitting hen if badly treated and lllfed while breaking will show her feelings by her slowness in getting back into laying condition. There is a money value in comfort which becomes more nnd more appar ent s we study into it. Nine out often farm animals will do tlie best they know how; they will work like iim chines for the skilled operator who keeps the bearings oiled with comfort.

When the difficulty of getting American farmers together ia taken iuto consideration, the magnitude of the work accomplished by the Germans in thus combining seems marvelous. No class of men on earth seem to be as dilitcult to handle in en listment under a single banner as farmers, nnd yet no people would derive greater benefits from such unity of ac tion.
