One of Ms commands happened to be a lit. . tie way out from camp on the road toward Gordokisville, when Taylor came rattling down the mountaiit side in his -ambulance. Be asked roe wbat meant -General Ewell's being ordered to the valley. I told him I did not know. He then asked me where General Jackson was. I again had to con- fess my ignorance and could only say that be had broken camp on a certain morning, going with his own division southwest, no one seemed to know where, and that Gen- eral Ewell occupied his camp that night and bad been there ever since. "Well," said Taylor, "this is strange. Nobody at Richmond knows anything about it. But," he added, "there is one consolation. We won't be under this d—d old crazy fool longer. General Longstreet is coming up here to take com- mand." It was too late, however, to change com- manders. Jackson was then fighting Mil- roy far to the west of us_ Ile probably never knew how near he came to missing his great fame in the valley, and that in that campaign he not only defeated four Federal commander, but "outflanked" tem of his own best generals and the "folks" back at Richmond. Jackson disturbed his immediate subor- dinates by never telling them his plans or vonsulting them. They had simply to fol- low him blindly. He never explained any proposed campaign to a subordinate or -caned a council of war or asked advice. Soon after Ewell joined him in the valley I remember riding with General Taylor - and coming upon General Ewell. Taylor asked him whe.t the movement meant. In Ms curt, half abstraoted. way Ewell re- plied: "I don't know. If General Jackson were shot down, I wouldn't know a thing eef his plans." "What!" said Taylor. "You • second in command and don't know? If I were second in command, I would know." "You would, would you?" smiled Ewell In his odd way, holding ids head to one aide like a sap sucker peeping around a tree. "No, you wouldn't know any more than I do now. You don't yet know the. roan." But Ewell and Taylor found their "crazy," reticent commander to have more war sense than all of them put together. So they ever pinned their faith to bim, ad- raired him and loved him. Our great General Lee was the victim of an indigestion'and it cost the south dear. et lost us the battle of Gettysburg. The battle of Gettysburg is a singular excep- tion to General Lee's battles. It wasn't General Lee who fought it. It shouldn't vount against him. His usual skill is wanting at Gettysburg. There must be a cause ter it. He was sick, and not in pos- session of his usual equanimity and fine mental powers. Those near hint at the time tell is this, and from some of them the story of how it carie about bas leaked out. . General Lee was -very fond of old Vir- ginia flapjacks—wendrous cakes of Afrioan inventioa—tbin as a wafer and big nearly 'as a cart wheel, and when made of new flour eend served hot, with freeh butter and maple naelaeses andfolded and folded, #csyers thick, are a feast for the gods. But Meneral Lee, the best and tenderest of man as well as the greatest, hadn't it in hie \)ear* te fare 'well—much as his ample laleans would have allowed—when his men Were suffering for food, and if one wanted pipoor dinner he had only to drop in on eneral Lee at that hour.

Bow They Are Cunt ted In the Moun- tains or Tripoli. Harry Form, the artist, has written a paper, entitled "Silk and Cedars," for St. Nicholas, describing his visit t� the famous mount ins of Lebanon. Concerning the sill industry, which plays 'such an important part in the lives of the natives, iMr. Fenn says: As the time approaches for the silkworm to hatch out the cog the family move out of the house and camp under the trees, giving up the entire establishment to the worms, after having placed. the - eggs on shelves niade, of a reedlike bamboo. At first the young worms are fed on finely chopped leaves, but -as they grow larger the leaves need only be broken in two. The people have to feed and watch the Weern8 night and day, or they wander in search of food 1 and get lost, and in the silence of the night the sound of! the worms feeding is like a gently falling rain. The worms fastthree or four times during this period, and about 24 hours is the length of each fast. A curious feature about their last is their posture. They assunae the attitude of ' a cobra snake about to strike mid remain rigid- ly fixed in that pOsition for the entire period. When they are ready to spin, small branches are placed on the shelves, and as the cocoons are formed upon them the dead twigs seem to bear golden fruit. When the worms get through that part of the business, the neighbors are called in—something as to an old fashioned New England ap- ple paring bee. They call it "qtaf" in Arabic—that is "tsicking," and soon you see piles of pale green, pure white and golden yellow -cocoons heaped upon the floor. Later they may be spun into hanks but usually ithe cocoons are sent down the mountains to Tripoli or Da- inascus, and after tbeir 30 or 40 days of toil they, too, often have to sell the produce for next to nothing, as the Chi- nese are always ready to undersell them. Another curious use Mr. Silkworm is put to is to soak him in vinegar for some hours, after which he is drawn out -into so called "catgut" to make snells or leaders for fishhOoks. ' Serving Carrots. A way of serving carrots is the fol- lowing, evolved by a, cook desirous, as all cooks should be, of "something new." The vegetable is scraped, diced Riad boiled till tender. Meanwhile a lice of onion is browned in a t ble- spoonful of butter. With this one t ble- spoonful of flour is rubbed sniootI and stirred until the Our is cooked. hen one cup.of tomato' juice, not hea .d, is added to the mixture with aohalf tea- spoonful of salt and a daeh of pepper, The whole is stewed together thr�e or four mMutee before being strained Mr the carrots, which, have been drained. This dish is muchi more palatable than the creamed carrots because it adds a the better known tan needed Ivor and is none the harder to prepare prepara- tion.—New York post. _ HE FORIESAWL THE FUTURE. , . , James G. Blaine's Prophetic Words About IIs Political Career. I first inIII de the acquaintance of Mr. Blaine during the congress esssion of 1865-6. He was then beginning his sec- ond term in the house. At that time I owned and edited a country newspaper in General parliefid's district. One day in the fall of 1886 Garfield wrote me to come up to IiiA hilltop home in the little college town of Hiram. He told me that he theught!it worild be a good thing for a young nekvspaper man to study nation- al politics iin Washington and get ac- quainted with national men, and that he would _uudertake to get me a clerk- ship in thelhoussi of representatives. In due time he spoke to his old friend, General . Rabert f C. Schenck, who was chairrnan of the ;committee on military affairs, and the result was I was given the clerkship of that committee. Colfax was speaker of the house, and for some reason or other he seemed to have little liking for the ambitious young member from the Augusta dis- trict of Maine, fOr he appointed Blaine to a position neat the foot of that com- mittee. Now, Blaine had not served in the army and had no knowledge of mil- itary legislation [ and no taste for that kind of work He used to be a country editor himself, and he appeared to take a fancy to the young clerk from Ohio. He would often drop into the committee room, and, standing before the wood fire, would talk freely to me about his newspaper and political career and his plans and hopes for the future. I remember that he said one day: "I do not like this military committee business and ought not to be here. Next congress I am going to be on the com- mittee on appropriations or ways and Means.

Everything came about exactly as he plumed.' lie had wonderful prescience concerning his awn futum, at wen as in relation to political eventi.

Priees were r firm at from 4c to 4ac, with 4to for picked lots, and in one or two instances a little 0 more than the half -cent was paid. Owing to light receipts prices were more steady, at from 3c to 3ic for choice, butchers' cattle. Ordinary good stuff sold at around .3c, and for poorer cattle 2s2c was the usual figure. Export bulls are in demand at from no to 31c, and more would have sold to -day, but from 2 -ac to ae is the price for stank bulls, and they are dull at these figures. About a dozen cars of stockers were purchased for Buffalo, atefrom 2na to no, and occasionally no per lb. There is a demand for feeders. More lambs would have been sold, and prices ruled firm, at from $2.50 to $4 and $4.50 each, the latter price only being paid for something very extra. Milkers sold well to -day, and fetched from $25 to $37 each. The enquiry for sheep is a dull one; prices range from 3c to 3tc per pound; they are scarcely wanted at present. Only good calves need come along at prenent ; they fetch from $3 to $5 each ; hut for choice $5.50 and $6 was occasionally paid to -day. For hogs the ruling price was 5tc; thick fat sell at 4e ; light hop are worth 5c ; sow e sell at 3c to 31e, and stags at 20.
