It is home where the heart is. atad we
are all happy now. Here is the big ld
family room and the spacious fireplace is
crowd ?d with the big back logs, and the
front logs and the top logs, and the cheer
ful genial blare leaps out at every opening
and makes us all sit back in the family
circle. I sit near the good old window
and look out upon the same pleasing pros
pect of fields and distant hilus and am com
forted. The dogs are in the family ring
and the canaries are singing in their cage,
and the maltese cat is purriag in Jesse's
lap. There is a lively chattering of hap
py voices all around me, for the long spell
ia broken and the broken family almost
united. I say almost, for the sick boy and
his mother are in town at his sister's, and
these children have not yet seen them. It
was too cold to bring him five miles over
a frozen road, an I so I came out alone to
give them pleasure ia broken doses. I
hoped to surprise them and peep in at the
window, bet they were on the look out
down the road, and have nearly looked &.
hole through the window pain in anxious
expce'ation. ith a scream and a about
they all came flying down the hill to meet
me, and such a timj as we all had, huging
and kissing and dancing around with joy.
They loaded me down, and I could hard
ly wag along for their embraces. I don't
believe that folks are any happier in heav
en, aud I don't know that I wish to be.
We left San ford last Tuesday, took the
boy oa a cot over the long wharf that
stretches away out into the lake and put
him aboard the beautiful steamer, the City
of Saeksonviile.i iWe s.:t him down iu an
oasy chair and whin the warning bell was
rung, we bade a sweet good by to kindred
and friends and soon the engines were un
loosed and the big wheels turned and the
boat moved down the lake with quivering
throbs. The aaxions mother watched her
boy with watery eyes as he looked out
greedily upon thebright waters and feas
ted his eyes once more upon scenes out
side of a sick chamber. The boy has no
use of his lower limbs and has to be car
ried in arms from place to place and it was
no small trouble to get him through nar
row doors and up and down the stairs and
into the cars, but next morning we got
him safely cn a sleeper at Jacksonville,
and then breathed easier, for it was .he lass
transfer until we got to Macon.
Waycross. I see Waycross now. I ex
pect to see Waytruss in visions by day
and in dreams by night for year s to come.
I have memories of Waycross. I like Way-
cross, for it is a bright and pleasant town,
and has good hotels and pleasant homes,
and is k;pt lively with moving trains, but
I had an awfnl time at Waycross. Our
train stopped there and had to Wait for a
train on another road, they said, and I got
out with other passengers and walked the
broad platform, but keeping an eye upon
our sleeper and within easy reach of it.
There were two sleepers behind ours that
belonged to the train, and so I meandered
alon x down to where a newsboy was selling
Savannah morning papers. I gave him a
quarter and was quietly waiting for the
change when suddenly I heard a darkey
say: "Savannah is just a sllppin and a
slidin' off." I looked around instantly to
sec what he meant and sure enough she
was already a hundred yards away mov
ing like snake over the ground and gettiap
faster with every moment. The two tt
sleepers had beea cat off and I did net
know it. I will never forget the concen
trated misery of that moment when I rea
lized that my wife and helpless boy were
gone and I was left. My heart sank
down, my voice left me and all my philos
ophy was gone. I grew weak and faint
ish and sat down on a bench to eollect my
self and sonsider the awful situation. What
will they do? When will they find out
that I ana not somewhere on the train?
The boy will soon want me, I know, aud
his mother will tend the porter to hunt
me up. The conductor will soon call for
our fare, and 1 have the passes, and my
wife no money. By and by she will learn
that I am not on the train, and then, ah!
then. I could see the tears in her eyes
and the quivering lips, and the nervous
restlessness of the boy, and there was eo
help. Arousing myself, 1 hurried to the
telegraph that was clicking near by and
asked hurriedly far a dispatch to be sent
to Jssup so that the operators there might
tell the conductor or my wife that I was
safe, and would overtake them at Macon.
My anxiety was intense, but I got no
sympathy. The youth said all right, and
I waited for an assurance from the opera
tor at Jesup that he would attend to it. I
called three times for an answer from him
Cut got none. When for the third time I
asked and almost begged for him to ak
tor a reply, he said with uncivil indiffer
ence: ' I have got no time, sir. Ix am
busy." Well, he was very busy smok
ing a cigar and chatting with a friend. He
wat not at the instrument. A gentleman
near by noted the incivility and told me I
had better go up to the Western Union if
I wanted attention. This was news to me,
for I had thought all the tksethat this was
the Western Union, but suddenly found
that it was only a railroad office. I had paid
him for a dispatch to Mr. Brown, of Ma
con, that called for an answer and two
hours had passed and none had come. So
I went to rlie IFestcrn Union and lepcat- j
ed to Mr. Brown and soa bad 'a Teply J
that he would meet my wife and boy and
. A . . WW -1 1. 1
take care of them. Her desolation and
distress was complete when she learned
that I was missing nobody called on ber
or the conductor at Jesup. The train
rolled on and passed Eastman before her
fears began, and from there to Macen she
imagined'I had fallen from the platform
or in some way had mat my death, and
when at last she reached Macon and Mr,
Brown came in the sleeper and told her I
was all right she and the boy both cried
with joy. The Brown bouse gave them
kind welcome and every attention. They
had a good night's rest and were only
aroused by a vigorous knook at the door
at four o'clock next morning. That was me.
The poet says:
"One glorious hour of crowded life
Is worth an age without a name.
And just so we can sometimes live long
er and live more in a minute than at any
other time in a month. I dident blame
her for slipping off and Heaving rae and i
UWihm-.m( for stor-ninsr at Way-
cross, but now that the long agony is over
we can smile at our mutual woes and fenrs.
My kind and considerate has not told it on
me but fourteen times up to this date, and T
don't expect to hear of it any longer than I
live. She gently hinted yesterday that she
didn't suppose that I would ever mention
Waycross in my Sunday letter for it as
most too personal and was not of a charac
ter to interest the public. So yoa perceive
I have taken the hint and told it all just as
it was. As trencrai xee iau u mc uuic
of Gttysbnreh: "It was all my fault. It
was all my fault.
I shall step off no more trains to buy a
paper, and I now warn all travellers to stand
by the car, the wife is in and not go fooling
down the line. Dick Hargis hollers "All
aboard" like a fog horn when his train is
ready to move and you can hear him a auar-
terof a mile, but Dick can t run all the
trains and 60 ever and anon some poor fel
low like me is bound to be left.
Farewell, Waycross. I found some pleas
ant friends there before I left, and they
comforted me, especially the host of the
Grand Central, who was an old Gwinnett
boy, and we revived many recollections of
our youthful days. But still when I think
of Waycross, it is with feeliegi somewhat
like those We have when we visit an old
time battlefield, where we fought, bled and
died for liberty.

An End to Done Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrinburg, 111.,
says: "Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I fed it my duty to
let suffering humanity know it. Have had
a running sore on my leg for eight years;
my doctors told me I would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used,
instead, three botUes of Electric Bitter?
and seven boxes Bucklen's Arnica Salve,
and my leg is now sound and well."
Electric Bitters arejsold at fifty cents a
bottle, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve at 25c.
per box by all druggists.
EXSILAG E-SIl'.OS.
As Cheap Beef and as fine Butter and
Milk as can be produced in the
United States.
Progrtstive Farmer.
Many are now inquiring ia thia grand
old State of ours, what change can be made
to make agriBulture'pay. Cotton, in the
sections best adapted to its growth does
not pay; neither does the making of grain,
nor the improved grasses. Where the
land is adapted to the growth of tobacco.
and where all the requirements of its pro
duct ion and curing have been carried out
fully, it has been found profitable ina
small way, but the difficulties in the way
of accomplishing'this areso fmanyand
sreat, requiring so much time and trouble,
that the probabilities are that only a com
paratively smallportion of our farmers can
be successful in making this important
crop.
With these facts fully established, the
question arises, what can we raise that
will relieve ns from the difficulties under
which we are laboring, and that has the
possibility of getting us out "of onr trou
bles?
I maintain that the stock and dairy bus
iness, with the assistance of the silo and
ensilage, will meet all the requirements.
I insist, and to a certain extentghave de
monstrated, that by using only the food
plants for our stock, natural to the South,
without attempting to bring to our aid
clover or any of the improved grasses, we
an make as fine quality of beef and butter
here, and at as low cost, as in any portion
of the United States. Tla, of coarse, in
an advanced position fpr a farmer in the
Sfttto of North'OaroIina to take; of this, I
am foMy aware; yet I stand prepared to
make the assertion good, and any other far
mer can do the same.
And now how to do it: I commenced
with a thoroughbred Jersey bull of good
butter strain to cross on good native stock.
In this way I hove obtained good grades,
which I have been able to sell at from fifty
to seventy-five dollars each when two or
three ystrs old, or when they drop the first
calf. This calf, if a bull, is worth $20. if
a heifer, $50. If the grades are nearer up
to the pure blood, say f to Jersey, there
is a corresponding increase both in the
quanity and quality of butter, as well as
increase in the selling value. If money
can be spared to purchase thoroughbred
heifers in the beginning, the profits will
be mueh greater, both frcm butter yields,
and th value of young stock, as thorough
bred Jrsey heifers from one to two years
old, are worth from one to three hundred
dollars, and will sell readily at that price.
To feed this stock well is simple and in
expensive by means of the silo. I have
written several articles,giving descriptions
of eilos, so that it is probably unnecessary
to speak here. The plant for inMWe is
our field orw pea (the best I have found
ror tnat purpose, bang the Whip.oor-
Will variety. These I plant after whaat
firjt breaking npthe land, then running
: the rows three feet apart. Then r.nt ,lht
j to twelve peas in each hill, about twenty
; inches at ast. After they are thre or four
j inches high, side up with a cotton plow
ana it me ground becomes grassy, isido up
a second time, going over with a hoe and
cutting out the largest weeds and grass.
No other cultivation is necessary. From
fdur to eight "tons of pea vines are made on
each acre, making the ensilage cost (ic-
- j eluding two dollars' worth of manure per
f j acre) from $1.50 to 82.00 per ton. j-
These vines may be put in the silo just
as they come from the field, without being
cut in a cutter, without injury to the en
silage. From these vines I make the finest,
quality of enilae. and also the most in
expensive. This, however, does not aver-
a?e more than one dollar and a half a ton
and two tons of this is worth more, iu
teeding value than one ton ot the best bar
I would ask: Is there any portion of the
United States where good hay can be bought
for $3.00 per ton ? Then why can we not
raise butter and beef as cheaply as any
other section ?
My cheapest made ensilage is from
corn
stalks cut after the corn is sufficiently ma
tured to gather without injury. I let the
ear remain on the stalk a tew days later
than when we consider the fodder is ripe
enough to gather. At this tinoe the grain
i.s well glazed. Then pull the cars from the
stalks and throw in small heaps convenient
to haul to the barn. Then cut down the
salks at the ground, blades en them, haul
and pack in silo, as closely as possible,
taking care to have them fit (W.ly to each
other, avoiding vacant places and innqnali-
j teis. Mix in pea vines if need J e to fill
up. When full cover the whole with inch
boards, laid lenrrthsrise the silo: Then put
common earth or sand IS inches deer.
This answers the double purpose of ex
cluding the air and weighing the silo and
will be sura to preserve the ensilage. An
acre that will make four barrels of corn
will make'fonrTtons of ensilage, or a ton
ensilage to every barrel of corn. To save
the stalks and fodder in this way is less
expensive than to pull and save in the
usual manner, while the ensilage is worth
ten times a3 much as the fodder. Ensi
lage made" in this roannerdoes not cost
$1.00 per ton, giving a large feeding ca
pacity (the stalks) which would otherwise
be lost. These stalks and fodder make ex
cellent food, of which for the past three
years I have fed horses, mules and cows
over three hundred tons, and from which I
have seen no bad effects.
North Carolina, in the teuth census, is
put down as""makincr 2S.Ono,000 bushels
of corn. One ton of ensilage to five bush
els corn would ','ivo 5.600.000 tons. Re
duce the quanity to 2,800.000 tons which
willrqualf i ,200,000 tons ef hay, and we
sea what an enormous qumity of stock
food is thrown away. I consider cern stalks
valueless, left on the fground as mannre.
The same census gives the State 94,000
tons of hay showing that the corn stalks
thus utilized will give over ten times os
much of stock food as the en'ire f roduct'on
of hay.
Now suppose the farmers of Nwrth Caro
lina would make say two tons of pea vine
ensilage to the acre after wheat a very
low estimate, but this would give 1,000,-
000 tons, and 1,200,000 tons tora ensilage.
Can any other conclusion be arrived at
than that we can feed stock and raise milk
and butter as cheaply Jas any portion of
the couutry.
The Original Blujrwump.
There are few personal and" "political
feuds of longer standing or of in tenser bit
terness than that which exists between the
Hon. James G. Blaine and the Hon. Eben
F. PilLsbnry. The two men hate each
other cordially. For many years Pillsbury
was the brains'of the opposition in Maine
politics. Smart, shrewd, energetic, full of
resources, unflagging in his antagonism to
Blaine, he has done more, probably, to
make life unpleasant for the Republican
chieftain than any other individual in the
country.
The appearance of Blaine's two lieuten
ants, Senator Hale and Senator Frye, be
fore the Committee on Finance to oppose
the confirmation of Mr. Pillsbury as Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the Boston
district, recalls the intresting fact that
Pillsbury is the original Mugwump.
It may be news to Pillsbury's ' children
and grandchildren in Mugwumpery tha
they owe to his tireless investsgations into
the secret history of Blaine's public career
most of the campaign material used eigh
teen months ago to convince the voters of
Blaine's unfitness to be President. Such
is the case- If the cardinal point of the
Mugwump faith is distrust of the Hon.
James G. Shine's personal integrity, if
sueeass in thwarting Blaine's schemes is
j the measure of Mugwump eminence.
Hon. Ji.ben F. fillsbury can ck u
be the earliest as well as the greatest
the Mugwumps.
That explains the effcrs which Sir.
Blaine's next friends ia the Senate ar
isakingto prevent Pillsbnry's confirmation.
It doe? not explain, however, the assistance
which they aro reserving from the Inde
pendent Republican newspapers. Instead
of libelling Pi! la bury, the Mugwump ene
luiei of Blaine ought to praise him and
rally to his support. He has done more
than any doien of them to reform the
civil service by keeping Blaine out of tbe
White House.
The present Collector of Inteanal Reve
nue in the Third District of Massachusetts
