\ 1 Military visitors from Europe have always been surprised at the laxness .with which strangers have been al lowed to inspect American fortifica tions, often being allowed to roam about wherever’they pleased without a permit. Recent orders have been issued which in certain cases, at least, will impose much greater strictness in this respect. The Commandant at Fort Hamilton, N. Y., has received in structions from Washington to refuse admission to strangers, and wicked British spies seeking to lay bare our weakness will hereafter be kept at a distance. A Story of Gladstone. The English press deems it an inter- testing coincidence that President Krue ger lost a thumb by accident, while Gladstone lost a finger. It is recalled that Gladstone, in describing the am putation of his finger, once said: “The Absence of pain sometimes amounts to pleasure. It was once my fate to have a finger cut off, and I recollect per-j ifectly well that when the surgeons ,ceased to hack me I was more delighted^ 'than I can express. I thought I never ^experienced so lively a pleasure.” THE ACME OF TORTURE. “The Bath,” Once Used in Italy- Capital Punishment. for i The punishment of the bagno (hath),; one of the most cleverly cruel inflictions' ever devised by an official of the torture chamber, was administered in Italy,- probably in Venice, where the water of the lagoons played so prominent a part in its penal system. The prisoner was placed in a vat, the sides of which were slightly in excess of the average height, of man. In order to hold in check the rising tide of water, which ran into the vat in a constant stream, the criminal was furnished with a scoop with which to bail out the water as fast as it came in. ■ The respite from death by immersion thus obtained was more or less prolong- -ed, according to the powers of endur ance possessed by the victim. But, im- lagine the awful torture, the exhausting and even that hideously grotesque ef forts, the incessant and pitiless toil by night and day, to slave off the dread moment fast approaching, when, over come by sleep and fatigue, he was un able to struggle any longer against his fate!

OF It Was During the War and He Had It to Do. I never committed highway robbery but once in my life, and it shocked me exceedingly that I had it to do. When I joined the army at Winchester, Va., in July, 1861, General Bartow sent for me one morning and said he had been made a brigadier and had completed his staff excepting a brigade commis sary, and asked me to accept the posi tion. I told him that I knew nothing about the duties of that office, but he and Dr. Miller and Major Ayer insist ed that I could soon learn, and so I bought me a horse and a pair of high top boots and some big brass spurs and got ready for business. The blanks had not been printed, and I couldent find a book on that subject, and so I dident do anything for a few days. I dident receive any rations nor issue any, for I was waiting for my commission and instructions and blank forms to come from Rich mond. These had not come up to the time old Joe Johnston made that all-night march to join Beauregard at Manassas. The day after our army forded the Shenan doah General Bartow’s brigade took a rest at Paris and after dinner began the march to Piedmont, a station on the Manassas railroad. General Bartow said tome: “Major, I have sent Major Ayer on ahead to get corn and forage at Piedmont for the artillery horsesand other horses of my command, and I am informed that most of the men have either eaten all the rations they started with or got them wet in cross ing the river, and they must have something to eat when they get to Piedmont. You had better ride on ahead and secure rations for about 4,000 men. The regimental commis- series will not have any, for their wagons are several miles behind.” “Will I find supplies at Piedmont?” said I, very innocently. “You must find them,” said he. “This country is full of provisions, and you must purchase enough for 4,000 men—beef, bacon, flour, salt, coffee and so forth. The men mist not suffer.” And he knit his brow end looked stern. With exceeding modesty I said: “General, I have no money te buy with and may be they will not sell on a credit. What then?” “My dear sir,” said he,“this is war, ‘Inter arma leges silent.’ If they will sot sell to you without the money,you must impress what you need. The men must be fed.” I perceived that he was desperately in earnest, so I hurried on to Pied mont and found Major Ayer with a pocket full of Richmond banks’ money, buying corn from a solid old Virginia farmer. There were two wagon loads that had been hauled by two of the finest yokes of fat oxen I ever saw. I took the major aside and told him my orders. “There is some very fine beef in those steers,” said he. “Cut I have no money,” said I. “Can’t you lend mesome?” “I cannot,” said he. “It would co fit me my commission. You can im press the oxen.” “Suppose that old fellow should re sist? What then?” “Get Captain Towers to give you a detail and arrest him if he won’t give up peaceably.” So I timidly approached the old man 1 ’’unused to buy his steers, but he ; on May J Mrs* oou x — A ., band. He was a suspect and was on both sides of the war. I put a guard over the mill that night or he would have hauled the flour away. It was hard on those Virginia farmers, for if one army dident’take their substance the other would. For nearly four years they were between two fires, and remained true to their great leaders. What a blessing is law—the laws of the land and the protection of the courts. Any law is better than no law. We old people remember when, toward the close of the war, this part of the country that had been desolated by Sherman’s bummers was infested by so-called scouts who were mounted on stolen horses and pretended to be commissioned to protect the women and children and to get up supplies for our army. Every vagabond and deserter joined them and they were a terror to the old and helpless. My wife sometimes tells the children about her refugee life, and how all her brothers were in the Virginia army, and how her father, the elder Judge Hutchins, was farming on the Chattahoochee river, trying to save something for the grand children, and how one morning a band of these so-called scouts came there and demanded the keys of the smoke- house and said the army must be fed, and how he tried to reason with and told how many he had to feed at home, and how little meat he had, but they got rampant and said they would break down the door if he didn’t surrender the keys. He kept three double-barrel shot guns well loaded, and when they went round to the smoke house he went upstairs to a window and said in a determined voice: “Stop. Don’t you go any nearer to that door. If you do I will kill you. I am old and not afraid to die, but I will kill some of you before I do.” They saw the muzzle of the gun and they knew the man and stopped. After a brief consultation they retired. There was my wife and six children and two little orphans and a score of little no- Night Watchman wanted. Mr. Hardtack—Well, what wc want is a night-watchman that’ll watch.

Russian War Ships. i Several Russian war ships are win- I tering in Klau-Chau Bay, and Russia has secured in this harbor one of the most important gateways of Northern China. Its position is convenient to Corea, and it is one of the sea portals of Pekin. A coal field is situated with in 100 miles of the bay, and near it is one of the best iron mining centers of China.

Friends! oometimes we abuse the law and the lawyers and the court, but after all the law of the land is the strongest bulwark of liberty and jus tice. Blackstone says that a man’s house is his castle,into which the king of England dares not enter without permission, but we remember when vagabonds and thieves not only en tered but drove the inmates out. Let us all sustain the law and courts and leave them as a blessed heritage to our children.—Bill Arp, in Atlanta Con stitution. WEATHER CROP BULLETIN Issued by the North Carolina State Weather Service. Eastern District.—The past week was very warm, the maximum temper ature reaching ninety-six degrees even at Wilmington, and far too dry. Quite a severe drought is prevailing nearly everywhere, and particularly in the southern counties. There were light scattered showers in ten counties on four days, and reports from those points continue favorable, but else where reports are discouraging. Corn on stiff lands is suffering for lack of rain, and in a few cases is re ported to be dying, but generally the corn crop looks well. Early cotton is about all chopped out, with good stand, and doing well; it has reached a height of six leaves in southfern counties; chopping continues actively; late planted cotton coming up with difficulty and some dying on light soils. Transplanting tobacco and sweet potato slips much delayed; what was planted early is growing nicely.

BOOK PUB. HOUSE. 134 Leonard St New York City Up to this time I had talked kindly and persuasively, but at last, when I f- und out be was a union sympathizer, I got fired up in my feelings, and as the Eight Georgia marched up I got a detail of ton men and had the steers driven away, and as the old man was crying and waiting for his son with the guns I told him that if he would come over to the station I would give him a receipt that would be good at Richmond. He never cursed, for he belonged to the church, but he said “Gol durn” and “dad burn” and “dingnation” with great emphasis. The steers were soon turned over to some expert butchers from the First Kentucky regiment, and by the time the young man and some of the neigh bors arrived with their guns and dogs the ill-fated brutes had been killed and flayed on the altar of their coun try. In an hour’s time their cascasses were cut up into mess pieces and di~ tributed and the campfires lighted. At a store nearby I purchased from a good confederate some flour and crack ers and a thousand pounds of bacon. I had no trouble with him, for he said the boys must be fed if it took every thing he had. I invoked his good of fices to make peace with the old man and his son, and about dark they came to me and said they would take my re ceipt, but it was a gol durn cowardly piece of business. And it did look that way. I wonder how they got their wagons home. But before long the good people of the valley got the hang of the business and surrendered at discretion. I nevqr^ had much trouble with those who were on our side. One day I seized 400 barrels of flour in a merchant, mill not far from Orange Court House. The man was desper ately mad but I had hoard that his wife was a rebel to the core, and so I visited her and made a good impres sion, for I was right good looking then.

Sweet potatoes ready to set out but suffering from drought. Wheat heading well but low; some damage by chinch bugs; both wheat and oats on uplands will be a failure without rain soon. Crops all well cul tivated. Western District.—The week was very warm, with but little rain. Show ers occurred here and there, but all small in amount. The drought is more severe in six of the central coun ties, from Cabarrus and Mecklenburg north to Surry. Wheat, oats, grasses and gardens have suffered most from the drought; a large number of cor respondents report serious injury to wheat and oats. Other crops seem to be standing the dry weather remark ably well. Reports as to stand of corn and cotton continue good. Chopping cotton and working over corn made good progress during the week. Some tobacco plants and some potato slips were set out, but generally if was too dry for that work. Irish potatoes doing fairly well, though damage by insects continues. STATE NAVAL MILITIA. The Summer Exercises for the Tars Arranged. State The programme for the summer exercises of the naval militia organization in the vari ous States was announced by the navy department Thursday. Assistant Sec retary McAdoo, of the navy depart ment. will probably leave Washington on the Dolphin on June 15 and spend two weeks inspecting the naval militia or ganizations of Georgia and North Carolina. A monitor will be detailed from June 15th to June 30th for the Georgia and North Carolina militia organizations, and during the same period a cruiser will be given for the use of the Louisiana and South Carolina militia. One week will be spent in the waters of each State, The Blue and the Gray. J Both men and women are apt to feel a little ^j) blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It’s a very natural feeling. In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They have no business whitening the head of man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of life’s seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by sickness, but more often from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there’s no need to resort to.hair dyes. The normal color of the hair is restored and retained by the use of Cornelia Mt. Airy Toccoa Westminster .
