BURNING -JEFF DAVIS'PAPEnS.
STRANGE TO SAY, AN F.X UNION SOLDIER
EUTLT THE B NFIRE.
Ph i 1 ad el ph i a E n q u i r er ,
It was a fieak of fate, a bit of
iroiiy in bis'torical circumstancet5,
t'lHt made an ex. Union eldier the
destrojer of secret docuraents of the
Ci t federacy. Not ojly &n ex-Uoiou
so'd er. but an Eik county Pennr)!-v-iuian,
cavalryman, who to dy is a
resident of the South.
Adjoining the Bouvier estate of
JnVrson Davis is one belonging to
a Ntw Olans rrercbant narjed
Hovvdl. The property is not at ell
prrfitalle, and so the tenant farmer
lives on the place rent free. The
name cf this man is J. B. Lewis for
merly of Denizette, Eik county,
Pennsylvania, and a member of
Gompany A, Twenty- first Regiment,
Pennsylvania Cavalry. Since the
war Mr. Lewis has lived in the South,
the climate being adapted to his
health, for he is predisposed to pul
monary eompliints. As the nearest
neighbor rf JtiTersou Davie, it was
the fate of Mr. Lewis to be brought
into frt-nunt contact with him. The
Lewis boys were favorites of the ex
Confederate President, and frequent
ly performed messenger Bervice for
him to and from New Oilenns. In
personal appearance, Mr. Lewis is
tall and klecderly built, with a heavy
mustache, turning gray rapidly. His
dark complexion, broad-brimmed hat
and butternut colored clothes would
give a 6tranger the impression that
he was a native Southerner. His
broad and clear pronunciation is un
mistakably Pennsylvanian.
"I suppose there was at least a ton
of letters and miscellaneous papers
burned by me under Mr. Dayis'd di
rection," said Mr. Lewis, during a
drive over the shell road from Bou
vier to Bdoxi, "i. was thrown into
the society of Mr. Davis in a neigb
bo.ly way. He W8S engaged in
writing his book, and during part of
this titno Mr. Ridpatb, the historian
was at Bouvier. When the docu
ments were destroyed there were
several large boxfs of them. Mr.
Davie, after keeping ell letterf, doc
uments and papers of an historical
character, ordered all of his private
corretpondence to be destroyed. He
furnished Mrs. Davis with a list of
the contents of the various boxes,
some of which had not been opened
for twnty years. I went over this
mass of correspoidence with her
thousands and thousands of letters
It was necessary for us to read a
great many of them, so that nothing
that was not strictly personal should
be destroyed. Thete were letters
from every prominent man and officer
in the South during the Rebellion,
and a go d many from men in the
North, and net a few from some
Pennsylvanian?," said Mr. Lewis
with a laugh, "but every vestige of
them was destroyed and evtn the
names are forgotten."
"The letters and papers of Mr.
Davis made a pretty bonfire cn the
lawn out in front of his library
There was a big lot of private his
tory wentup in smoke then that would
hava brightened general history had
it been preserved Armful after
ormful of material that no doubt
would have been worth a geld mine
to an historian was burned, and -1
stood by and poked up the fire so
that not a scrap should bepreserfed.
I would have liked to preserve
something, an unimportant note or
raemoiandum, as a memento of the
man una the evunt. but Mr. Davis
imposed a trust in me that nothing
would have induced me to break ; he
desired that everything be destryed,
and tverything was destroyed.

PILGRIMAT "HAGARS WELLS."
MECCA S FAMOUS ZEMZEM, THE 8CURCES
CF CHOLERA AND THE WORLD'S
FAIR.
New Tork Herald.
The Herald baa already adverted
to the danger of cbclera in Mecca,
and shown that the ci y is a menace
to the whole woill. The inhabitants
of Mecca I've crowded together, and
surround their homes with refuse
and filth and foul the water supply.
Among the religious ordinances,
which are to the Mohammedans com
mands, is that of pilgrimage to
Mecca. From Turkey, from a belt
of country extending eastward across
Am.i to the farthest confines of
Malay, and from the whole of Africa,
pilgrims set out every year, turning
their steps toward Mecca in obedi
ence to this command. Some fall
Bick by the way, many die; from
from about 60,000 to over J 00,000
each year attain their end; months
and sometimes years have been de
voted to the task, and sufferings and
hardships undergone which it would
b6 difficult to describe.
While Mecca may be well enough
suited to the inhabitants in ordinary
times, it is not in any way prepared
for the strain which comes upon it
during the annual pilgrimage, and if
a disease such as cholera be then in
troduced it straightway spreads like
wildfire. The constant cause is the
drinking of cholera polluted water.
Not long ago a cable dispatch told
of a pdgrimage of ten thousand
persons, of whom more than one
half never returned, having died by
the way of cholera. The proceedings
of the pilgrims and the way they
live also tend to the spread of the
disea?e. The march to Ararat, the
night spent there in devotion oi in
the crowded coffee booths, the stand
by the Hill of Mercy, the rush to
Mina, the sacrifices, the fearful
stench frcm the thousands of slaught
ered ai-imsl, the tawaf or seven fold
circuit of the sanctuary, each of the
many thousand pilgrims kissing the
black stone as he passes, the blazing
beat, the intolerable thirst, the re
ligious fervor which leads tbem to
accept everything as holy which be
longs to Mecca, all drive the unfor
tunate pilgrims to the consumption
of the vilest fluids under, the name
of water.
The famous Zemzem is the reput
ed "Hagar's "Well" of Mec.-a, where
it is supposed she drew water for
her son Isbmael. At the best of
times there is but little ater in the
well and the pilgrims sarra around
it. Every one wishes to drink of and
to bathe id these reputed miraculous
waters. Each pilgrim, in turn,
stripped to the waist, stands beside
the wtll while a ducket of the water
is poured over him ; of this he eagerly
drinks as it flows from the bucket,
the rest flowing over his naked body,
soaking through his loin cloth and
streaming back into the well to bp
used again. His place is immedi
ately taken by another and another,
and so on, each drinking the wash
ing of the rest.
One dav this year there were 999
deaths in Mecca, andjrom June 8th
to June 23th there were 2,201 deaths,
that is in 17 days. When we consider
what ib done at thin well elone these
figurts are noi to be wondered at
When the pilgrimage is over, the
roadside for a dozen miles is stewn
with the dead bodies of the faithful,
killed by a draught of dirty water
after all the difficulties and dangers
the unfortunate people bad over
come.
Color painting requires the clese
observation of fixed rules. The
painter becomes an artist, else a
daub, and benca tbere is a lack of

Of tbee speeches, twenty five have

vtr, been made which do not figure
in this li&t. The most expensive
speech is that of Mr. Daniel, of Vir

for it. This was due to its length.

The greatest demand has been
for the speeches of Messrs. Sher

Messrs. Daniel, of Virginia, and
Carj.eron, of Pennsylvania, in advo
cacy of silver. By individual de

speech was that of Mr. Vest, of Mis

to 100,000, and is being used largely

that it haB been reprinted and cir

CLEAN THE WAGONS FRE
QUENTLY.
Anv vehicle that is allowed to re
main apatlered with mod for weeks
and tnontLs is wrongly treated. The
luster of the varnish rapidly deadens
the od is absorbed from the paint
aLd when tht dirt is removed by
washing, the vehicle presents a
grimy appearance, uriving a wagon
covered with mud when the reads
are in good condition presents to
tbe observer that jou either are
shiftless or extremely busy. How
ever, if you are busy with your work,
and, of course, attending to it, for
the money or benefit to be gained
thertby,you would find it a paying
investment to spend an hour's time
in removing tbe mud, also proptrly
oiling the axles of both heavy and
light vehicles. In washing a wagon
it is best to apply water to the mud
dy suiface several moments before
the sponge is used. If a force pump
or hose can be used most of the dirt1
can be thus removed, and will not
scratch the surface, as tbe saud on a
sponge or rag will do.
A SPIDER FA KM.
A New Industry Which has Taken
Ro t in Chattanooga.
Many will be inclined to dU-
i
credit tbe stitement that spider j
rai-ing la an ebtablisned industry
in Cbattauooga, and is being suc
cessfully coi ducted by Earurst Rey
ber, the proprietor of tbe Enterprise
battling work on Uowart street. Mr
Reyber estimates that between 5,000
and 6,000 of tbee insects make
their home in this bottling depirt-
ment, which occupies a large room
probably 60 feet square.
Tbe ceiling is firly covered with
thousands upon thousands cf little
patches of fibery material within
which the insects nest and lay their
e ga. At this seaet n they spend
little time in their nests, but in the
daytime bids in dark, out of-ibe-way
cracks and corners, but in easy
command of their woven snares.
Spider weba are everywhere,
spaning the space between floor and
ceiling or spread about the machin
ery, in front of the window every
where in fact, the bus-y weavers
can find a t lace from which to bang
their network.
A big corner of the room is be
sides given up to the insects, which
hava apparently divided the space
iu'.o many four-walied apartmests.
Mr. Reyber is a pleasant and in
telligent talker and a shrewd ob
serve. Said he: "Those creaturers
know more than a great many peo
ple. 1 keep them because they wage
such constant war on flies, cock
roaches and other " such vermin
which are vary troublesome to me
and wh:ch are attracted by the
sirups, suar, etc, used in the bot
tlir g business.
"A spider never cares for sweet
things nor pops into my vats or
bottles Flies and cockroaches are
nature's scavenger?, but those spi
ders watch evry one that ap
proaches like hawks and soon lure
him into their tiieshea. I neyer dis
turb them when I can hep it, ex
cept to feed tbem occasionally.
"They appear to know my call
and will come when cabed and
crawl upoa my hand or take a fly
from my fingers. They are tame
and Lave never bitten me, though I
couldn't promise as much to a stran
ger. 'This spider is a hibernating nni
mal and shuts him.elf up during
most e f the' winter in those little
nests you see stuck like mud doubs i
ou tbe ceiling. When winter comes
I brush away ail these webs, for the
spiders prefer to weave new webs
every spring.7'
As a cow must be milked every
day, ibis wary end provident little
creature must unravel each sprin
tbe silken fabric that is stored in
its bedy. He does not make hi
appearance till May, when tbe flies
have laid their eggs and hatched
their fiist voung, eUe ine lly crop
wculd soon give out.
Meantime the hundreds or eggs
wbieh each female spider laid dur
ing tbe previous Summer and Full
have been going tnrougb a process
of incubation, and now tnrn out
with tb6 elder one3 to seek a Lying
for themselves.
Mr. Reyber has encouraged the
insects to harbor in his establish
ment for two years pa-t, and fiids
the spider of such practical udlity
as to be almost indispensable.

MITES IN A POULTRY HOUSE
Turn out the fowls some coel or

a '
cracks in the house excopt the door.
Then take a kettle of live coals and
place on the ground in the centre,
but if there is a wood floor lay a flat
stone in. on which set; the kettle.
Throw a half pound of enlpbur upon
tbe coals and abut the door, and
leave tbe Louse elosed for a few
hours, and we wili venture no more
lice or mites wid b found in it for
weeks thereafter. If the house is
not tight enough to admit of through
fumigation in the manner described,
then clean as li as you can, and
whitewash with fresh lime, mixing
in a liberal quantity of sulphur into
all the cracks, and apply kerosene
oil to the roosts. The house should
be well aired before tbe fowls are
admitted, and well ventilated at
night. We have never known the
sulphur "cure" to fail if properly-
applied. Poultry Whrld.

WINTERING HORSES.
After the (all wheat i s wn, on
most f-rrms one team will do all of
the work rt qjfi ed during tLe f 1 aud j
winter. It is not bt-st to seil oil the;
fcVlro Ifiuriu i l . flic fo'.l on 1 hnv .'rain '
in the spring. It is better t win
ter the idl- horses as eonom'ctl y
a possible, taking care if course to
keep them in ood conditicn. With
all kinds of stock it :a poor economy
to allow tLem to run down at any
time and then attempt to feed up la
ter on. And wLila witL the teams it
is an item to feed as economically'
as possible, this should not be done
at tbe expense of tbeir condition,
Select one team to do tbe necessa
ry hauling during the winter and
feed them graiu in connection with
their roughness to keep them thrifty.
In this way a smaller ration or, ai
least, a cheaper one can be supplied
to the rest and yet they be kept
thrifty.
it is always best to let the id'e
horses run in the pastures every day
that the weather will permit. They
will keep healthier and thriftier on
less food than if they are kept close
ly confined- It is important, how
ever, to provide comfortable shelter,
as it will cost less to maintain ani
mal beat with good shelter than to
do so by feeding grain.
As the pastures fail it will be a
goo i plan gradually to increase the
ration so as to keep thrifty. One of
the best and most economical rations
to give during the winter is un
threshed oata run through a catting
box, adding a smad quantity of bran.
If tbghtiy wetted in mixing it will
be more platable. One advantage
iu this is that there is little or no
waste, while the ration is one that
supplies grain and roughness, and is
one of the best to produce a good
development of bone and muscle.
Another good ration can be made
by cutting hay and adding a small
quantity of wheat bran and oilmeal.
It is not always neccessary to cut all
the hay, bat enough to mix with the
bran and oilmeal. Better result can
nearly always be obtained in this
way than by fetding the material
seper ately.
It is usually best to give all the
roughness that they will eat upcleao,
but no more, as it is neither condu-
cive to good health nor economical
to have any kind cf feed before the
stock sll the time; and yet, of rough
ness at least, they should have ail
that they can eat
When the winter is severely ccli
cornmeal can be used instead of
btan. Corn, or cornmeaL is one of
the best materials to feed to stock to
promote warmth, and during the
winter in many cases more or liS3
can be fed to a good advantage.
By feeding regularly, supplying
with water, and using all reasonabla
care to keep them comfortable, the
horses can be wintered at compara
tively sma 1 cost, aai then at any
time that they are wasted they wLl
be ready for service. The Repnb
lic. THE PEANUT INDUSTRY.
New York Independent.
The "goober" industry of Norfolk
is unique. Here i a litils city in
Virginia that has become the great
est distributing center of peanuts in
the world- A peanut is a pretty
small item, but an annual crop of
somethhg like 5,000,000 bushels,
worth millions of dollars, makes a
pretty big item.
The demand for goobers has
dcubled within the last five years,
and the supply does not yet fill the
growing demand. Few people know
the curious uses to which the goober
has been put in trade quite of late
years. No other single plant raised
in this country is used in so many
different wajs. The Chinese say
the cocoanut palm has as many use
ful DiObertiee as there are days in
A. a-
the year. The goober is not so uni
versal a? that, but it has as many
valuable qualities as tbere are days
in the week. The eohd part of the
nut is peculiarly nutritive and sup
plies fruit aud food for many a fam
ilv. The vines make fine fodder,
some say as good as clover hay, while
bogs fatten on what is left in the

contained an article, copied from the 1 Senator Cameron's speech in oppo
DaUs(Tex) New?, giving an ac- eition to the repeal of the Sherman,
count e.f the arrest and imprisonment, act presents the history and charac
at Monterey, Mexico, of Ed. Correll, ter of that act in a clear light The
on the charge of murderously as- Sherman act, he shows, was a part of
saulting one Bernhard Buckner, a the. gi eat system of protection inaug
Polish Jew. The occurrence took urated in 1S90. What tbe McKinley
place three weeks ago. Coriell was Dill was to the Pennsylvania mann
raised near MooresvMe and is a son ; facturers tbe Sherman act was to tbe
of Mr. E. M. Correll, a well known : silver- mine owners of Nevada and
citizen, and a brother of Prof. J. N. Colorado. The former made a market
Correll, who was formerly in charge (with high prices) for Eastern mann
of a schocl at Tayloreville, He went i facturers, and the latter did the saras
to Texas several years ago and from
there to Mexico. He was manager
of the Hotel de la Pliza at Monterey
and also a member of the firm of
Geo. Pearson & Co. It seems that be
and the bar tender at the hotel, Bob
Belc! . had been dickering with the i
Jew, Buckner, for the purchase of a
valuable diamond ring
They had
the price,
been unable to agree on
and on tLe day the trouble occurred
they again went into the Jew's place
to examine the ring. Shortly after- fending an essential part of the pro
ward serf ams and yells were herd tectioniat scheme of 1890. If they
and Correll and Belch emerged Irom ' ote for repeal and carry it they will
the place, closely followed by the ; knock out the keystone of the pro
Jew, bleeding and battered until his j tectionist arch and the whole Btruct
features were almost unrecognizable, j ure will tumble. Tbe silver States
The two men were immediately ar- j will no longer vote for protection if
reBted and jailed. j the Sherman act is repealed. South
Saeh. in brief, is the story contain- j trn Democrats and tariff reformers
ed in the dispatches to the Texas j see this, and yet goon trying to keep
paper, with the additional informs- J the Republican party solid and keep
tion that Correll and we suppose protection in force. What a lack of
the other man, too was under sen- ; political sagacity ! What a disregard
tence to be shot fcr the offense. It of party principles and personal
is not known how the difficulty cc- : pledges! Tljey should at least eon
curred and Gorrell's side of tb? case j sider the interests of the toiling mil
ia not given, because in Mexico, as a lions whose lot is made harder by
rule, oniy the side cf the prosecution the Sherman and McKinley acta,
can be obtained. i
Gorreii'a character, before he left
this country, was ihe very best. He
was connected with some of the best
people in south Iredell, and those
who are acquainted with Lis subse-
puent career in Texas speak cf him
in the hishest terms. His father
and brother both now live at Edna,
Texa, hia father and family having
gone there but a few weeks ago. An
eff .rt was being made at last accounts
to have theUr ited States government

have a fair trial, but whether it was
successful or not we have not learn

A Chicago paper observes that tbe
World's fair medals are now being
dealt out by the cart load- It says;
The exhibitor who quits the fair with
lgs than a dozen of John Boyd
Thacher's brass tokens will not be in
it with the generality of peotle who
are showing goods at the fair. Yea-
terday the jurors announced awards
in parts cf three departments hor-
ticultural, transportation and agri-
cultural. In the horticultural de-
partment tbere are nearly 600 medals
given fpr fruits and berries alone,
Iowa exhibitors get just forty seven
medals for gooseberries, and Iowa is
not much of a gooseberry State eith
er. Other States have nearly a3 big
a lief, and when it comes to straw
berries, cherries, currants, blackber
ries and small fruits it is just as bad.
Medals are scattered with a prodigal
hand. In the transportation depart
n ent the partial list cf winners an
nounced is included in group eigLty,
which runs all the way from railroad
tickets to a model of the new Mem
pbi4 bridge. There are many Chica
go winners in this list, all the locai
manufacturers of cars, car-appliances,
gates, switches, frogs, car wheels
and the like being remembered. In
tbe agricultural department awards
are announced for preserved meats,
sausages, meat extract?, etc.

The setslble thing for you to do is to

now for Eastern protectionists to rob

keeping their own.
This is all very clear. It shows
that what Southern Democrats ars

FORGOT HIS BRIDE'S NAME.
j Soljmon Williams, an old colored

tended to marry. After he had
given a gooa account or nimssii
Solomon was asked the name of the
girl. This question puzzled him
and hia nead dropped low. Judge
Monahaai waited some time, and
then propounded the question
again. Solomon straightened up
and it a dignified manner said:
"Look hear, Jedge, that ain't fair.
Idon't know de gal's name, bat I
would have found out ef I'd known
you was going to ax dat question.
) Her first name is Maggie, but I dis
i remember her last name. Jest make

j when I see her."
i The license was refused on these
j conditions and Solomon departed,
! returning in a few moments with the
j information that his fiancee's name
, was Maggie Robbins.
