Marshall P. Wildor tells an amus THE DHARLOTTE DEMOCKAT PUBLISHED EVERY FKIDAY BY J. P. STRONG. Snpportiog a Battery, "I shall never forget the first time I was under fire," said Col.

TJiomas Cren shaw to a party of veterians j- who were fighting their battles o'er again. "We were supporting a battery, and' had lain down on a stretch of ground as level as a ballroom floor. The Cohfeds were beyond rifle shot, but they opened on us with artillery, and they did everlastingly plough up the ground with shot and Peeling Oranges- Splitting "Posts. If one wants to peel an orange without soiling the bands, that is necessary to be done is to cut with a knife a very small circle around' the stem end, and then mark dividing lines from the stem to the summit- at points on the surface of the orarjjge. The.

skin can then be drawn off just as easily as one may draw a finger from a glove. This suggestion, says Meehan in bis illustrated monthly, may not only be applied to the peeling of an orange, but also to the splitting of a stick. The fibres of plants, including the fibres of oranges, all fork from the bottom upward, and it is the attempt to split anything against the grain which makes splitting difficult. Those who make hoops for barrels split the pole in order to make them, but they da not commence witthtbe top. or slender of the pole and split downward, hey could not do this but by taking the thicker end arid working from- the thick to the thin no trouble is the pole splits i easily.

Also in cutting wood, the expert axeman knows that he gets along nicely by? starting at the thick est end. Still further, i this hint can be usefully applied in planting fence posts. While the sap of a tree ascends easily by follow ing the forked Upward channels it cannot so easily descend. By planting a post, therefore, upside down that is to say in a contrary direction to which the tree grow moisture will not be drawn upward nearly as easily as when the post is planted in the other direction. An in verted post, therefore, will last nearly double the time without rotting that one Our Only Day.

Were this our only day, Did not our yesterdays and morrows give To hope and memory their interplay, i How should we bear to live Not merely what we are, But what we were and what we are to be, Make up our life the far days each a star, The near days nebu'se. At once would love forget ke.ni pursuits and coy delays of bli-s, And its delicious panes of fond regret, Were there no day but this. And who, to win a friend. Would to the secrete of his heart invite A fellowship that should begin and end Bit ween a night and night Who, too, would pause to prate Of insult, or remember 6light or scorn, Who would this night lie down to sleep, with hate, Were there to be no morn Who would take heed to wrong, To misery's complaint or pity's call, The long wail of the weak against the strong, If this one day were all And what were wealth wl'h shame, The vanity of office, pride of caste. The winy sparkle of the bubble fame, If this day were the last Ay, what were all days worth.

Were there no looking backward or before If every human life that drops to earth Were lost forevermore But each day is a link Of days that pass and never pass away For memory and hope to live, to think Each is our only day.

C. 8ept SO, 1892 The perfect confidence between mother and child which should exist will not continuq if the child finds that the mother's promises or threats are unfulfilled. I If a child is told that unless he sits still while guests are present he is to be punished When they are gone, and then this is not usually done as promised, or as is often the case the punishment is deferred until the promise is forgotten, the offender will naturally soon form a habit ot disobedience which it is almost impossible to break. There is a criminal habit of affixing a penalty for wrong doing which is illy proportioned to the For example "If you do so and so, I will cut off your ears," or the like, done with the intention of. forcing instant obedience, is apt to lead to just the opposite effect.

Besides destroying the confidence of children in the parent, they will soon diverge farther from truthfulness, and say and do things which they know to be wrong, without reflecting on the consequences. No one, especially no mother, should ever make a promise to a child which she does not expect to fully carry -out. Children are, so impressible in all their younger years that their lives reflect the influences of those about them. If lying and deceit are practiced towards them, they will soon imbibe the baneful influences, and all their after lives may bear the painful impress of this early Orange Judd Farmer. The Confederate Patent Office.

Of the many people who think they know a good deal about the Confederate government only a few are aware of the fact that the Confederacy was supplied with a patent office 'and that it issued patents in just about the same 'style as that practiced by the United States. How many inventions received such protection as could be thrown around them by the power which ruled the South for four years may never be known, but it is certain that at least fifteen received offi cial recognition, for on a wall in the office of Mr. James L. Norris is an original document which assures John L. Jones, of Tally-Ho, North Carolina, that for fourteen years, from the 26th day-.

of August, 1861, he should have "the full and exclusive right and liberty of mak ing, constructing, using and vending to others to be used" a new and useful improvement in carriage wheels, This was the fifteenth patent issued by the Confederacy. It was signed by Judah P. Benjamin, i attorney general, and countersigned by Rufus R. Rhodes, commissioner of patents. Mr.

Rhodes was United States commissioner of patents prior to the war. Accompanying the parchment, which is properly sealed and which cost Mr. Jones the sum of $40, are the customary specifications and drawings. The penmanship displayed in the specifications is' extremely beautiful, while the draw-' ing, which are in India ink on linen tracings, could hardly be improved on. The whole forms a most interesting and valuable souvenir.

Washington Star. Profanity is always unpardonable and yet so many, many men are prone to it. If they cannot resist the temptation to anathematize, they should at least be careful when in the presence of children, for oh 1 the little ones do learn to swear so readily; Strange as it may seem, there is something very cute at times in the actions of the little ones when they imitate their unworthy exemplars in this bad practice. Perhaps it is the very incongruity of the thing the contrast between their, innocence and the evil they are indulging in. There is a gentleman in this city who does not take exactly the same view of the case that I do, though1; and upon reflection I almost believe he is right.

His little boy, a mere baby, was talking to his mother some time ago, and she asked him if one of his playmates was a bad child. "Bad," replied the little boy, "why, mamma, he's awful. He cusses like 1." A switch was used that day and some big tear drops fell. It is wrong to censure. Allegheny, Alleghany and Allegany.

It is "Allegheny" in Pennsylvania, "Alleghany" in Virginia and "Allegany" in New York. Recently the PostofBce Department, being in doubt as to how the name should be spelled in Maryland, wrote to the Historical Society of that State in regard to the matter. In their reply the 'Officers of that institution recommended the use of the word in this form "Allegany," which makes it correspond with the New York rendering, that being the way it is spelled in the statute creating Allegany County, Maryland, i i The United States, 'when Alaska is included has a greater area than Canada has. The areas are as follows: The United States, with Alaska, has an area of 3,602,990 square miles; Alaska's area is 577,390 square miles. Canada has an area of 3,466,690 square miles.

1 Home Made Molasses. The Enquirer has not yet beon able to" find a foreign market for home made molasses, but we believe we are close on to the reason. A Yorkville grocery man wrote to a firm in Baltimore on the sub ject not Jong ago, but received no reply He thought it very strange. However, ha did not write strain. Last week one of the Baltimore firm's traveling sales men was in Yorkville, and grocer advised with him about the matter; Tho salesman put it up this way: "Obi our.

house ain't not going to buy any molasses down here. You seo, we have a big trade, with New Orleans in cow peas. The Louisiana sugar planters use the. peas to fertilize the lands and stimulaUvthe growth. of the sugar caoo.

With them the peas are an aosoiuio no cessiiy. They must nave inem a any grice, and to get them, they send to harleston," Savannah, and Baltimore. The vessels are usually loaded with sugar and molasses the best, as well as the poorest. Well, we take the sugar ana molasses and load the vessels up with cowoeas. It works both ways.

If wo don't buy the molasses, we can't get to sell the cowpeas, and after we bavo bought the molasses we have to sell it xou people aown douvu ro iu best molasses customers that we have, and under the circumstances it pays us better to sell you molasses than to euy them from j. no aoove jb vuv suudwuv-o v. drummer's remarks, and it contains a food for thought We buy our molasses from New Orleans through Baltimore and other cities, paying for barrels and profits, and sending from 50 to 75 cents out of the country for euch gal- Inn RnnnniA ii ba flnr own molasses instead of those made in In York county alone we can save 130,000 a year, by it, and nobody hero will be k. 4nv lha lovinrr YnrkVllle inquirer.

Every old soldier "knows thatJ artillery fire at long range is not half so much to be 'dreaded as the rattle of musketry, which sounds on the battlefield like Chinese fire crackers in a thunder storm, but it is a good deal more 'skeery to a novice. There we lay For half an hour, never moving a finger, watching the puffs of flame from a dozen cannon and the shells coming' tearing! through the.

air with their fiendish shriek, apparently headed directly for our faces. I tell you a position of that kind tries the very soul of your raw recruit. Give him a. chance to shoot back and he is all right, but fighting is one thing and waiting to get killed without striking a blow is quite another. "But there was more ahead for us.

After the artillery' duel had raged for some time a regiment of Confederate cavalry debouched from the wood with all the deliberation and precision of a dress parade. They wero Mississippians, tall, athletic fellows, who sat their horses like centaurs. They halted and dressed ranks while the batteries behind them hurled a perfect rain of shells over their heads. VVe could see their Colonel riding down the line and pointing with hiB sword to Our battery, which was plunging shells in among them with frightful rapidity but little effect. They advanced a step or two, every horseman seeming to choose his ground.

Here they come, slowly, steadily, like a great gray wave, conscious of irresistible power. The bugle rings out sharp and shrill, they break into a quick trot, 800 sabres leap into the air, and the stars and bars stream out on the smoky background like a portentous meteor. On they come eight hundred yards, seven hundred, six hundred 1 Gads! has our battery gone silent?

We pour a volley into it at eighty yards.

Is There a 8upreme Moment of Consciousness When the Soul Quits the Body "I was reading an article this morning on how it feels to die," said Dr.

W. H. Epwortb. "No living man can tell how death feels, or whether the actual act of dissolution is accompanied by sensation or not A man who, through disease, or casuality, has lost consciousness has become to all appearances dead and is then resuscitated, can really tell us nothing about it, for he did not die. The machinery did not come to.

a complete standstill the life force did not leave tho body. It may be that the poet has dipped deeper than the physician into the awful mystery of death. It may be that he has descried terrors not visible to the eyes of the medical man, Who interests himself only in the condition of the animal mechanism. "I have stood by the deathbed of men who told me they were going to hell, and saw them pass peacefully to their long sleep. I have looked at their dead' faces a few minutes later and saw thereon a look of fear, of horror, that was not visible when the heart gave its last faint throb and then stood still.

I have had others tell me almost with; their last breath that they were going to heaven. They passed away with wan, weary faces that were pitiful to contemplate, but before they became rigid a smile' sweet as an angel's dream overspread the pallid features. The deep lines of suffering faded out, and the aged looked almost youthful, the weary and worn became radiant What causes this change which every physician has noticed When does death occur? We say when the animal machinery stops, when the breath and pulse cease. "That is what the doctor calls death, but it may not really be death after all. The spirit may not leave the body, may not take its departure from earth with the last breath, the last faint heart-beat.

It may cling for some moments to its shattered tenement before it takes flight, before it faces those terrors or enters into those transcendent glories which the poet has painted. The death of the body, with which doctors only deal, may be but the prelude to a more important aot, the departure of the spirit. Science has gone far, but it has not yet lifted the veil of mystery which the Almighty has hung over the couch of death." St, Louis Globe Democrat. Guaranteed Core.

E. K. Whit. whose place is about a mile from Harrison village, has successfully raised a crop of figs. The figs are, when fully ripe, as large as medium-sized pears and mellow and delicious, not to be told in appearance and flavor from the Southern grown, and the trees' bear abundantly, from six to eight on a branch.

When Mr. Whitney first began thejr culture he would in the fall, by advice of Southern growers, bury, the tree in position, by cutting the roots each side and bending the tree into a trench prepared for it. By experiment later he learned that the better method was to dig up the tree and transplant it to the cellar. It is quite hard and will endure considerable cold, and Is little affected by transplanting. In the spring it is easily set out again.

The fruit ripens quite early in the fall. A cutting from the tree takes root readily, and this offshoot comes in bearing daring the second year. Lewiston Journal. Thought Hornets Killed Him. i- Noewalk, Oct.

They attacked him by the hundreds and stung him about the bead and bands. He ran for the be dropped to the floor apparently dead. His heart stopped beating, and his hands and feet grew cold. Physicians were summoned. They applied restoratives, injecting brandy in large After working over him for two hours they 'decided that he was.

dead, and went away. An hour later, or three and a half hours after he was stung, Glass revived and showed signs of lite. Renewed efforts were put forth, and after a time he recovered consciousness. An examination showed that on his left wrist were several, stings over a nerve that has a direct action on the the heart. Physicians pronounce it a wonderful case, the heart's action being so wholly stopped-as to deceive the most careful examination.

Glass's face and wrists are terribly swollen and he is suffering from nervous prostration. jlglPHon. Ben Butterworth, Republi can, of Cincinnati, when discussing and opposing the McKinley tariff in the Fifty -first said: "I can name upon my ten fingers men engaged in the protected industries whose combined profits in the last decade have exeeded those of all the agriculturists in any state in the Union." This, he said, was the result of the excessive protection advocated by the Republican tariff makers. "The necessities of government are the beginning and the necessities of govern ment are the ending of just taxation. Whatever goes beyond this is an increase of the power of government at the expenses of the liberties of the people.

Taxation for any other purpose than revenue is simply robbery of the people." iT "Ah," said an Englishman the other day, "I belong to a country where the sun never sets."

Not long before his death the late Cyrus W. Field, said to a reporter "Money is really worth only what it will bring in the things we want, and for that purpose $10 a day is worth just about as much as $1,000 "a day. The difference between these sums is only ratified pride." On his death-bed Mr. 'ield referred as follows to the domestic griefs and mortifications which had blighted his home "My life is a wreck, my fortune is gone, my home dishonored. I was so unkind to my son Edward when I thought I was being kind.

If I bad only had firmness enough to compel my boys to earn their own living then they would have known the value of money." t31f "The fortunes are not all made neither are the good situations all filled.
