" ' 1 r - - - 1 i Charging is the last resort of brave, ,;but baffled commanilers." ;a !ocal ; critic of militarv affairs, "anil it . rr i . ,jfp re sults disastrously." Thirty-one years ago to-dav the affairs of the Confederate army of oi nortnern Virginia wre desper ate enough to warrant its brave C0Bapder, Gen. Robert E. Lee, h resorto liargin So it came to'pass on the morning of the 25th day of March, 1865, he made a break through the Union lines and opened the way to City Point, which, if he could have reached and held, would have toroloneed the civil war for at least another year. The preliminaries were well ar- ranged. First of all a hundred men appeared in front of our picket and announced themselves as They were-ail armed,' but the officer-in charge of our pickets welcomed them, and told them to bring in their guns, as Gen. Grant had re cently issued an' order command ing his quartermasters to pay for all guns brought in .from the rebel ranks. So this hundred nf armed men were eraciouslv invited to march in behind our pickets. When once there, they turned sud denly upon the astonished Union troops and requested them to sur render in words too imnnlitA tn print.' And the .picket had no choice but to obey In the rear of the picket line stood Forts Haskell and Stedman, garrisoned bv the Fonrt.AAniJi TJaTO belonged in Utica. In7 the early dawn of that mild March morn, i . . . . buo seeping members Of the Fo - nrteenth were awakened by the '"P of the rebel troops, who pounced in upon them 10,000 strong or more.

The recent annual meeting of me interior compress Association, at Galveston, Texas, was attended by representatives of thirty-ope compresses in the State of Texae. The session was devoted to discus sing the size of bales. A special committee submitted a report, re commending refusal to pay for' re compressing . any but standard bales, and requesting all railroads not togive bills of lading for cot ton baled out of the standard size, except at higher rates, without a guarantee of reimbursement. The - V a t m . omcers eieciea ior tne ensuing year are: President, W. D. Lacy, of Waco; vice president, H. O'Neill, of Paris; secretary and treasurer, C. F. Carter, of Dallas. The meeting adjourned to assem ble in Dallas at the call of the president. The Cotton Exchanges of the South Atlantic cities, at their re cent convention in Augusta, Ga., adopted thes6 resolutions relative to uniform cotton baling: That producers, pinners and packers use bagging weighing not less than two nor more than two and one quarter pounds to the yard, the bagging to be woven and calen dered to allow" for clear and dis tinct marking. Six ties to the bale of material should be used, weighing not less' than forty-five nor more than fifty pounds to the bundle of thirty, eleven to eleven and one-half feet in length. That compressed bales have "ship's side density of twenty-two and one half pounds cubic foot and eight bands, weighing an average of one and one-eighth pounds per band. That sample-hole patch be used in compressment of bale. That railroads decline to receive compressed .cotton of lesser density than twenty-two and one-half pounds "per cubic foot. That the attempt to enforce arbitrary pen alty of $2 per bale by Liverpool Exchange will only retard every movement looking to correction of the evils complained of." Secretary Morton Sued for Libel. Washington Dispatch. t The recent closing of a contract ; or furnishing seeds for general distribution by the government has resulted in'the filing of charges at the Department of Agriculture by Breslan, Goodwin & Co., a Chicago seed firm, against Secre tary Morton. The allegations are that their bid, though lowest, was refused because the firm had urged the passage of the resolution pro viding for the revival of the dis tribution of seeds, notwithstand ing Secretary Morton's protest. It was alleged furthermore that Sec retary Morton and his assistants had falsely stated that the com pany refused to use .its name on the seed packets. Secretary Mor ton and the other officials of the Agriculture Department make an absolute denial of the truth of the charges. Mr. John N, Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, counsel for the seed company, and Mr. Breslan, one of the firm, have re tained Messrs. Worthington & Lamer, of this city, and instructed them to file a suit for $100,000 damages for libel. Cardinal Manning on Children. "I have sometimes thought, when looking oh a church full of children,, that there is nothing more beautiful in the sight of God. A beautiful garden of roses, lilies and lovely flowers is sweet and beautiful to the eye. The hand of man guards and. watches over it, so that no harm can.enter.,- Some times at storm- of. wind -or hail breaks the lilies destroys the roses and makes ruin , where before all was ; sweet . and orderly. '. The wicked and . malicions man cemes in. to wreck and ruin his neigh bor's garden; and when they see this everybody ns touched" to the heart. Everything lovely -and svfreet; trampled down- and. wreck ed makes one -grieved; but in the sight of God not the most beautiful garden fashioned by the' hand of many not even Paradise, not even the . garden of Eden. with all its glory and' beauty of flowers and fruits, is so brightjand glorious as are the souls of ;hltle children in whom the Holy. Ghost dwells." .. - . . ' I ' Gold Production. Mr. L. O. 8mith, formerly 4 member of the Swedish Parlla. ment, has sent to the Director of the 1 Mint a letter which jgives some remarkable figures as to the prospective increase in'the. gold production of the world dealing more particularly with its increase from the South African gold fields. Mr. Smith is a student of politi cal economy, and is also regarded as a mining expert. He saya that by the end of the century the pro duction of the m5nes at Witwatera. raand will amount io $125,000, w yeany, ana tnat tne quantity which can betaken out during the coming fifty years will be $3,500, 000,000, or about pb much as the world's stock of gold at the pres ent time. This statement, confirming pre vious estimates, possesses an un usual ' degree of importance, as affecting future economic condi tions. Some writers on the sub ject, of more or less, note, have declared that the quantity of gold had been gradually used till the earth would in a short time yield up no more. The argument was based on the theory that where ever gold is to be found, there civi lization is to be found also, and that the existence of gold was readily dieeovered, since it is a treasure for which all men hunt. With this additional increase in the supply, the question will arise whether or not the effect may be'to cause silver and gold to come closer to each other in value, and this would most assuredly be the result if silver were to become at all scarce. Whatever be the re sult, the increase of gold produc tion in all parts of tho world is re markable and important. Not a Bad Idea. Scientific American. A gentleman once asked a law yer what he would doprovided he had loaned a man $500, and the man had left the country without j sending any acknowledgment. "Why, that's simple; just write him to send an acknowledgment for the $5,000 you lent him, and he wiH doubtless reply stating it was only $500. That will suffice for a receipt and you can proceed against him if necessary." Oxygen. From Pnck.
