Flrt Derided tT Infantr So bo rod Dowi. Down the road we heard the stirring music of martial bands. Soon the head of a column of troops came In sight. Of ficers were riding on horses that pranced at the head of the soldiers. The men were neatly clad, and their brass shoulder-plates shone brightly in the son.. "The heavy artillerymen from the fortifications around Washington," one of my comrades murmured. The fresh soldiers were marching beau tifully. They were ringing loudly and tunefully. They were apparently pleased with the prospect of fighting in defense of their country. For some reason the infantry of the line the volunteer in fantrydid not admire heavy artillery men. They liked light artillerymen, and were encouraged by the presence of the guns on the battle-line. There was soie thing inspiring in the work of the gun ners and in the noisy report: of the can nons; and, then, cannon were deadly, and if well served and accurately aimed they could and did pulverize charging columns. But heavy artillerymen were soldiers of a different breed. There was a widespread belief among us that these men had enlisted to that arm because they expected to fight behind earth works, or to safely garrison the. forts which surrounded Washington. , The head of the- heavy artillery col umn, the men armed as infantry, was thrust among the wounded who lined the roadside. These bloody wrecks of soldiers derided the newcomers. - Men would tauntingly point to a shattered arm, or a wounded leg, or to bloody wounds on their faces, or to dead men lying in fence-corners, and derisively shout: "That is what you will catch up yonder in the woods!" and they would solemnly indicate the portion of the for est they meant by extending arms from which;, blood trickled in drops. I saw one group of these wouided men re peatedly cover and uncover with a blanket a dead man whose face was hor ribly distorted, and show the courage sapping spectacle to the marching troops, and faintly chuckle and cause their pale cheeks to bulge with derisive tongue thrusts as they saw the heavy artillery men's faces blanch. Still others would inquire in mock solicitous tones as to the locality of their cannon, and .then tenderly inquire of some soldier whose bearing or dress caught their attention: "Why, dearest, why did you leave your breastwork be hind you?" And they wotild hobble along and solemnly assure the man that he had made a serious mistake, and that ha should have brought it along. '.as he would need it in yonder woods, pointing with outstretched, bloody arms to . the forest, where the battle's roar resounded. Others assumed attitudes of mock ad miration and gazed impudently and con temptuously at the full regiment as they marched by. Long before the lieavy artillerymen had passed through the bloody gantlet their songs were hushed. They became grave and sobe- minded. For the first time they rbaliztHl what war meant.

A num ber of tiie belles of the lower clasaea drag theae heavy shoes along with them, The children seem to be able to manage theit wooden shoe much easier than the grown people. When a dozen or more little urchins in Juice in a romp in the street tltey set up a clatter which can be hear J for blocks. Tlie mother who vcwhe to find her naughty child who has loft iU task for street play rioen not at first use her eyes in the search for the juvenile delinquent. She quietly stick! one of her ears out of the window, and when she hears a loud clatter that sug gests the tearing down of houses in tb neighborhood she rushes toward this sound, guided by Iter ears. When at length, breathing forth tires ten in ga and slaughter, she lead haute her shrieking offspring, the cries of the latter arc drowned by the music of its companion footfalls. The great advantage of the wooden shoe is its staying powers. Every one does not require a new pair of wooden shoes in his or her life-time. When tht honest citizen is informed by the bloom ing daughter that she would like to havt a new pair of wooden shoes he frowni and says: ' "My child, what is the matter with that pretty pair which your grand mother received as her wedding gift They are still neat, although not gaudy. You must remember that times are hard, and that family expenses must be kepi down." The common people seem to understand how to live cheaply. Many of the laboring men earn but 50 cents a day and yet manage to support familiei and at the same time lay up enough money to give a decent burial to thoss members of their families who find themselves unable to keep up the task of trying to live.

Tho trouble is ! not so much with the Burmese as with their liquor. They distill a bev erage called "sham-sho" from rice and lime. It is stronger than dynamite and more fiery than fire Itself. A correspond ent claims that it will dissolve a rifle ball in thirty minutca. It bums out the in teriors of those who drink it, and plays fearful havoc Against this terrible foe valor and skill can do nothing. The sol diers drink, go mad and die. "Why the Burmese are not similarly affected is not stated. It may be that the civilized stomach is weak and can not stand the beverages of the barbarians, but it is a lamentable fact that in the British army and navyin temperance has always been allowed to run riot If the soldiers in Burmah had been properly disciplined in this respect they would not now be poi soning themselves with "sham-sho." As it is, they are in a fair way to .be exter minated by the convivial hospitalities of their enemies. Atlanta Constitution. XlMtrieal Appliances TJaed by rbjal clans.

In 1800 one twenty-fifth of the popula tion of the United States lived in cities of 8,000 inhabitants and upward; In 1840, one-twentieth; I860, one-sixth; in 1880, nearly one-fourth.

I have just had a lotter from her, in which she says: "Milan is full of noth ing I nit singers looking for something to do; the streets ore crowded with them, and if it were not for learning the lan guage better and of getting ready for the fall I should get out very quickly.

This short-sighted eye has done all my hard work for years, and I want to ease It a spell. When I read I ue that eye, but it can't see anything in dropping corn, Then I have to use my far-sighted eye, and after planting for a time it gets so tired that I have to close my eyes oc casionally to rest them. But the most uncomfortable part of the whole trouble is seeing things half way between. If I hold a book half way, ' the short-sighted eye can't see, and it ain't far enough for the far-sighted eye. I'm afraid youTI have an awful trouble in adjusting those glasses." Exchange. A Victim of BaSkla On at. The buffalo gnats, the pest of the lows Mississippi valley, have done a work of destruction among the stock of Tennes see. Reports of cattle, horses and mules having been goaded to death by these insects are received daily. A .colored man named Sneiss was stung and choked to death. lie was found dead, evidently a victim of the gnats, which swarmed about the corpse. Gnats crawled in and out of his ears and nose. Bis mouth and nostrils were filled with them. This is the second case oa ivoord where buf falo gnats hare destroyed human life. Treat neglect aa a rule, though there may lk oine excopuoaa. ine roaus are not in good order. This is duo largely to the fact that tho masces of our people, not excepting the magis trates who have tbe supervision there of. Lave at no lime carefully consider ed the importance uf good road.-, or what really constitutes a good roadf hence a very inferior road, iu many places narrow and diHicult of pas-a;je tbctt-ou, Las. in the carclea-i and in different manner in which overseers have usually worked their roads, le cauie the standard of a good road and of good work, tho supervisors usually parsing upon and accepting tbe same aa a good and sufficient road. Very insuCjcient attention is paid to the draining. Tbe waters too often are allowed to m;rsue their course, and tbe rtmds, iuntead of Wing systemati cally drained and thrown up in the center, are left Cat and und rained, and tbe consequence is that with each rain storm the work that is done is swept away. The supervisors especially and the people in general are advised that this state of things should exist no longer; that tbe overseers must really work their roads accoiding to law un der well defined and systematic plana, instead of the mere tuakebift of work a that so" often appears, only just prece ding tho terms of tho court. Such course would save labor to tbe bands, be of general good to tbe people, and save many presentments by the Grand Jury hereafter. If overseers have difficulties in the way of making good roads on their seo- tions they should report tbe facts to the Board of County Commissioners. Lastly we bare to observe that while no case of perjury has been returned to the Grand Jury, we have reason to believe that it is a great and growing evil in the land. So prevalent in our opinion is this crime that we cannot retire to our places as private citizens without a word to magistrates who preside at tbe court of nrnt juridic dred yards.
