With groat difficulty I succoeded in getting out of his way, and he con tinued to go dowu t lie mountain at a lively pace. About a milo further on I saw two front wheels of a spring wagon.and a short distance awny tho other whoels and wagon box. I looked arround to see if the driver had been hurt ; but; finding no ono I drove on. In a few minuk-s I met a man walk ing rather quickly down the road. "Stranger," ho asked, "did you see a mule down that road?'' "Yes." "Did ho hev a rag over his year?" "I didn't see any." ' "Well it's all right. I reckon 'o'll stop when 'e gets flustered out, an I reckon 'e's cured." "What is hoeurod of?" I naked' "Balkin'. You see, I heeyd that a grasshopper but in th' year o' a hoss or mulo 'd cure Mm from bnlkin'. So I tied a rag ovor the critter's year so it couldn't get out, cotched a grass hopper, put Mm 'n, an', stranger, its the best remedy I ever sood ; Th' mule didn't give mo no timo to got in th' wagon. I never seed a mule so sprightly. I rekon th' hopper's got out now, an' I'll go and cotch the mule." MADE CONF DERATE BLADES. A man known throughout the Civil war as "tho swordmaker of tho Confederacy', was onoUainman a Prussian, who settled in Colum bus, Oa., in his youth. Ho was a tinner by trado, but when tho war broke out he began to muke swords. In a year's time his factories cover ed a block, and tho officers of the southern army were wielding his blades, said, by tho way, to bo as flue ly tempered as any mado in Amer ica. - Ingall's War History. In our advertising columns will be found an announcement of Ex Sen ntor John J Ingalls' forthcoming book, entitled "America's War For Humanity." Canvassing agents will find in it a book of remarkable in terest, nr.d certainly of extraordin ary snlaliility. Tho history of the war is told in picture and story, nnd in awny that always characterizes tho brillinnt pen of Senator Ingalls. In narrating the incidents of this war lie finds grand scope for his superb descriptive nnd analytical powers. The tliomo is worthy of tho Author and tho author is worthy of the theme. It is published by N. D. Thompson Publishing Co., of St Louis, Mo. It will be a monumental work that will not only bo every where road, but it w ill lie a monu ment to his genius that will outlive in history his brillinnt senatorial career. The subscription book trade and the canvassing agent nio fort unate in tho fact that an author of such rare ability lias been enlisted in its interest. A JUDGE KILLED BY A TURKEY. The fashion by which Judge Sam uel Ashe of the First North Carolina Supremo Court came to his dentil must have been oxtromely mortify ing to him. Ho was killed by a tur koy gobbler, (hie day, after ho had become very old and infirm, ho was placed in a chair under the shade of a treo in his yard. A red enp pro tected his ancient noddle from tho attacks of flies, and his comfort was so well provided for in every way that n sweut ..slumber stole upon him, and caused him to nod. A largo turkey gobbler, which patrolled that precinct, mistaking this for a chal lenge, immediatly gave battle. On a sudden the Judge's sweet slumbers were broken by the flap of hostile wings, and ere ho could collect his scattered senses a well-directed spur smote him in thetemplo, nnd ho fell down nnd gave up the ghost. MISS OR MRS. The question is repeatedly nsked, "How shall I sign a formnl business letter?" There is hut ono rule in sign ing nny let ter, eithor on business or to nn intimate fiTend, provided it is written in tho first person th t is, with your full nnino. His ns incor rect for n woman to sign herself "Mrs. John Smith" or " Miss Mary Smith" ns it would be for a mnn to sign himself "Mr. John Smith" or "Tho Honorable Thomas Brown." A woman or a man is "Mary Smith" or "John Smith " when written ev en to an inferior in station. Only a snob places a title before his name. A business lotter mny bo written in the third person. A married woman may write out "Mrs. John Smith," if that is hor name, in pa rcn thesis diroctly before hor signa ture, "Mary Smith." HUMOR AFTER THE BATTLE. Tho laziest man in tho regiment lny in tho hospital tent. A Colo rado camo in to seo him. "Lost a leg, ch?" ho said. "Why that log was not so badly shot as to need amputation. " "I know it," drawled tho lazy man. "But. nevertheless I reeo mended it." "You did? Why so?" said the other, nstonishod. "Because," muttered tho patient, "I won't have but. ono boot to keep shined now." Tho other turned nsido. "Just throw that leg out buck of tho tout," said tho wounded man. "I'll do the same thing for you 8omo time.' "Hang mo if you do !" cried tho comrade hurrying away. WANDERINGS OF A NEEDLE. Twenty yours ago, when a child, Miss Florence Hollidny swallowed a needle, snys tho Indianapolis News. She suffered no inconvenience until last week. During the long inter vol she had forgotten entirely about the accident Last week she be enmo iifllictod with severe shooting pnins in her right shoulder. Phys icians explained that she wns suffer ing with neuralgia, but when a small lump appeared suddenly on her shoulder, this disproved their theory. Miss Holliday happened to think of the noedle, and sho con cluded that it had possibly worked itself to tho shoulder. -An opera tion was performs d and tho needle found and removed. "PIPE--HITTEKS" PAY J723.406- San Francisco is the bannor port of this country for tho importation of opium for smoking purposes. The importations last year aggorated 121,401 pounds, nnd the duty of $6 a pound amounted to 728,406. Tho drug was in the form prepared ex clusively for smoking, and is not av ailable for other uses. It comes in half-pound boxes, put up very much like spices and pepper. It is a dark brown, sticky substance, like Now Orleans molasses in appearance. All smoking opium comes form China. Tho (fl ag in its mediciuul foi'iu is imported from Turkey. THE ERADICATION OF BLACK KNOT. The swellings upon tho branches of tho plum and cherry trees, to which (he name of black knot has lioon given, bnve been found very destructive While in some seasons the growth is but. slow, in others they develop rapidly nnd destroy entire orchards. Tho development of tho knots begins during Mny nnd June, when, upon the branches that nro ono or two yenrs old, a slight swelling will be noticed nnd the outer bark will crack, showing the green layer beneath, which will soon take on n russet appearance. Upon the surface nn olive green mould will appear, which is dun to the development of summer spores of tho fungus. These are borne about by the wind and serve to scatter the disease. Tho develop ment of the spores continues, and by Autumn, the surface will bo of n black color, covered with innumer able minute pimples, in which the winter spores of tho fungus will be developed. Theso will ripen in Feb ruary and thus the disease will se cure another start. Tho old knot are dry nnd hard and each year ex tend both ways along the branches, until they reacli a considerable si,o. By carefully examining the trees during the early Summer, the knots can bo detected in the early stages of their development, nnd if at once cut off nnd burned, further spread of the disease will bo stop ped. In removing infected brandies the cuts should bo mado, if possible, a foot or more below the knots, in order that tho disensed portion mny be destroyed. When the knots are upon the trunks or m:iin branches" of small trees, where it would be impossible to cut, them off without destroying tho troos, tho diseased tissues may bo cut away and if the wounds nro painted with linseod oil or tincture of iodine, tho danger of stopping further growth will be prevented. (Prof. L. R. Tnft, Bulle tin 155, Michigan Experiment. Stn tion). Whilo tho removal of dis eased blanches is tho only remedy that can bo depended upon to prevent tho spreading of tho dis ease, yet if tho trocs aro thoroughly sprayed with bordeaux mixture, it will be impossible for the spores to obtain lodgment upon tho healthy branches. In several portions of Michigan it is reported that tho knots are becoming very trouble some and that they havo destroyed many plum trees. In enso the owners do not take prompt action to check thodisense, the fruit grow- ors of the locality havo in their hands the power to seo that the knots nro dostroyed. M'ho Act. of Juno 18, 18(17, pro vides that the township supervis ors, or borough council, in nny caso whore it is known thnt peach, plum, cherry or penr trees aro in flicted with disenses known as yel lows, black knot, peach rosette' or pear blight shall appoint threo competent freeholders whoso duty it shall bo to examine the trees, and notify tho owner to destroy the same. In caso of refusal or neglect to do so the commissioners shall procoed to removo or destroy them and tho owner on conviction mny bo punished by a fine not exceeding ono hundred dollars. Hog Cholera Inourabls. Before nn Iowa farmers institute John Cowino gave his' opinion of hog cholera romodios. Ho boldly afflrmod his belior in tho disenso be ing incurable, all guarantees and testimonials from snro-curo medi cine vondorsto the contrary notwith standing, and gave his three weeks experience and trial lit Dos Moines, with tho representatives of all sure- cure remedies that choooso to come forward, ns evidence of the truth of his Statement. . He declared it his honest opinion from those trials thnt they were one nnd all frauds nnd humbugs nnd in their wny were doing ns much to im povorish tho swine breeder as the diseaso itself. Ho urged the farmers to do their uttermost in the way of prevention and advocated tho use of turpentine, carbolic, acid, creosote and lime, as being the best remedies in thnt lire not to bo used occasionally, but all tho time. Also to thoroughly cle.m up once a yenr and if possible give new yards and new troughs, and thought if farmers would do this and kill nnd burn the first hog they saw sick' that the much dreaded plagno would soon becoiuo a thing of the past. Ho attributed the pres ent low prico of pork not to over production but to the fact of there being a stop in the homo consump tion from fear of eating diseased meat. ELPHANTINE HUMOR.
