USEFUL MEMORY.
Reminiscence Of Rev. w.’ B.
Weed.
BY CHARLES E. LINDSLEY.
EIn the very interesting account given in
the observer of an aged lady's memory, it
is stated, among other evidences of its power
to retain early i rrpressions, that she can re-
pent the Whole Hi “Watt's Divine and Moral
Songs." This in .r sturddli of her advanced
ago i. in] 5 n-nu .rk ride, out finds its puritiei
at tire ther wnri of h.- scale in the ease of a
boy W ti. \vicrun, as n 111ml, some (if your
many It‘ll-3 rs v .,-. liuil'; 9 08:5 Wt‘ll 11(f(,l:irlilll-
ei. In v..r_v ~- .y youth he was a lllrtiliinl'
of the S. ~'r:t . ' r-iio l in his urri'rvu- village.
It was soon n ser» (i by his lurch. rs that he
was en-i-a‘ -: with. a memory of unusual
power lnz’ uh of ‘sis y- .. -, which he was
by exwrrrlse. The
constantly improving
numocr -rf verses lit! c-v-rld repeat from the
Bible, 171.1 the hymn. t ml 111- knew by henr',
caused him to be 1-». 1k at upon in the sehor-l
as a sort of youthful prodigy. Nor did the
history of his mini in this respect, in after
life, Iil~:tppoitrt their expectati .us. While
yet a mere youth, almost-a child, the very
same book to which your correspondent re
fers, and with which his aged aunt is still so
familiar, “Watt’s Divine and Moral Songs,"
was put into his hands,with therequest that
he should read it. But he returned it. so
quickly that she was satisfied he had not
kept hi- promise. As, however, he stead-
fastv .r...intained that he had read every
won .i it, she opened the book and pro-
r-.-. at: to question him as to his knowledge
or its contents. To her very great surprise,.
he began at the beginning and continued to
repeat poem after poem, with perfect accu-
racy, until she was tired of listening. He
had in fact, during the few days that he had
the book in his possession, committed every
word of it to memory.
This same boy afterwards became a preach-
er. And he very naturally committed his
sermons, as he had done Doctor Watts’
Songs. It was the easiest way for him to
preach, and so perfectly was he the master
of his sermon that hit was never known to
hesitate for a word. They poured forth
withoutrappareut efiort. and with a force
and fluency that resembled the steady flow—
ing of a deep and rapid river. Nor words
alone. Memory was, in the case Of this
preacher, but one gift among many. It was
an accomplishment, not a reliance. The
faculty of expression was not cultivated at
the expense of the power of thought. Such
indeed, in his best discourses, was the depth
of reflection, the brilliancy of imaginstion,
fie felicity of illustration, and the fire and
fervor Of delivery, that the hour allotted to '
this part of the service often seemed to the
congregation all too brief. and the sermon
was ended when as yet they were hoping it
had juSt begun. This gentleman once in-
formed a friend, that when he began to
preach he committed his. sermons as 1“?
composed them. Afterwards he deferred
'the task until near the close of the week.
But for many years during the latter portion
of his ministry. he required for it only a veryi
short time before the commencement of the
Sabbath morning service. He stated, more-
over, that for him to commit a sermon once,
was substantially to retain it forever. Very
little exertion was required to recall it even
after the lapse of years. The whole thing,
in all its parts and with its entire phrase-
ology, lived in his memory ; it was a part of '
his mind. Unlike another distinguished
- memorizer preacher who never ventured to
enter the pulpit without the solid certainty
that his written sermon was deposited in his
coat-tail pocket, this memorist took neither
letter nor 1in of his discourse into the
pulpit. He trusted all to that wonderful
faculty to which he had committed so many
thousands Of words in so many hundreds of
sermons, and the drafts were never dis-
honored.
I remember being present on one impor-
tant occasion (it was an installation), when,
quite unexpectedly to him,it became neces
sary thathe should preach before a very large
congregation, including a goodly number Of
his brethren in the ministry. When in-
formed of it, his only reply, was: “I have
no sermon with me; I must take to the
woods.” He did so ; but when thehour for
service arrived, he was,
promptness, the first to enter the pulpit.
The discourse which he then gave wril long
be remembered by those who heard it. Its
subject was, “The Intercession of the Holy
Spirit,”-—un unusual theme for such an oc-
casion, but marked throughout by such orig-
inality of thought and delivered with such
earnestness as to secure the unwaverin g
attention Of every hearer to every word of it.
Practically, there seemed to be no limit to
the resources of this man's memory. .It held
with the tenacityof a vise all that he com-
mitted to it. Yr-t, according to his own
account, its pro eminence was due rather to
constant and uircflli discipline, than to in-
nute superiority- If it was strnng'by nature,- '
it grew .,fu_1f.mu.c' duplicirms .le’,‘ exercimy

In this irnp‘u. :r-.;: sketch sunroof your mid-
dle—aged ream»... may perhaps recogn ze cer-
tain of the mental traits of ii distinguished
New England minister who died some years
age, but whose life, like his sermons, was
esteemed tob shortby those who knew him
best. But a little while, as we reckon time,
has he been among the blest; but the mem-
ory of his fervent piety, his ardent labors,
his harmless eccentricities and his wonderful
memory will not be speedily eifaced from
the minds of those Of his brethren who
survive him; nor will the mention of his
name ever fail to touch a tenderchordin the
hearts of those whose great privilege it'ouce
was to call the Rev.- Willioin B. weed, late
of Norwalk, theirpastor.

ASSAULTS UPON JACKSON.
On the 29th of January. 1835, an attempt
was made to assasinate General Jackson, at a
funeral ceremony, by Richard Lawrence, a
painter by trade, and resident of Washing-
ton. He exploded two caps on the pistolsin
the attempt. The pistols were [afterwards
found to be well loaded, and . Jackson's es-
cape was considered miraculous. The would
bra-assassin was knocked down and taken
into custody. General Jackson always be—
lieved that this act was perpetrated at the
instigation of [some Of the friends of the
Bank.
Prior to this, in 1833, General Jackson was
assaulted while sitting down reading a newc-
paper, on the boat at Alexandria, but the,
friends of the assailant succeeded in getting
him out‘of the way in good time.
It was in these days that Henry A. Wise
made an ugly face at Speaker Polk on the
street and spat at him. . .

’to say that the blow inflicted by him on

,_ In 1842, Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio, after
,having been expelled from the House for an
expression of his views on the subject of
slavery, was promptly returned to his seat
by his constituents. In a subsequent speech,
he said: "I will not speak of the time when

THE ASSAULT OF PRESTON S. BROOKS UPON
CHARLES SUMNER.
It was on the 22d Of May. 1856, that Pres-
ton S. Brooks, a- member of.the _House from
South Carolina; came ’ into the Senate
chamber and' knocked down and beat Senator
Sumner, ;from Masscbusetts, before he could
rise from his chair. The anticipated attack.
was known to Edmundson, of Virginia, and
Keitt, of South Carolina, 'who were both
present when it took place. The country
has not yet forgot it, nor have its influences
yet died away. Brooks afterwards challenged
Senator Henry Wilson, who was opposed to
the code. He also challenged Burlingame,
who accepted and named the Canada side at
Niagara Falls and proceeded there: Brooks
declined to meet Burlingame at that point,
alleging that the place of meeting had been
expressly named because it would be imposs-
ible for him to be present.

this wise: Grow was on the side 'of the
House occupied by the southern members'
and objected to Quitman’s making any re-

object, return to your own side of the
House.” Grow responded: “This is afree

pleases.” Koitt then came nearer to Grow
and said; “I want to know what you mean
by such an answer as that l" Grow replied:
repeating what he had said before. Keitt
seized Grow by the throat saying : “I
will let you know that you are
a damned black' republican puppy."
Grow kocked up his hand cxclaiming: “I
shall occupy such place in this ball as I
please, and no negro—driver shall crack his
whip over me.” Keitt again grasped Grow by

knocked him down. It was near two o’clock

Value of Apples as Food for Stock
A FARMERS' CLUB TALK.
FROM TIMOTHY BUNKER, BBQ.
“Have you seen Tucker‘s old cow lately i"
inquired Seth Twiggs one morning in Sep—
tember, as he took the pipe Out of his mouth
and set his foot on a log at my wood pile.
“Got the horriblest relax on her ever you
seed,and he is mighty afeared she’s a goner."
“What’s he been doing with For," I asked.
“Nothing much, I guess—only feedin’pu
her ‘with apples, not quite ripe enough to
make good cider.”
“And how many apples in a day P”
f'Wall, I do'no, but I guess he didn’t stop
-to measure 'em, but just turned his cow right
into the orchard, arter a storm, where they
lay so thick you could not git round without
stomping on ’em."
“The only wonder is, she isn't dead. The
fool ought to know better,” I answered.
“Waal, I do'no about that,” Seth began to
explaiu,as he reindjusted his pipe. “Ye see,
there has been a deal said lateiyin the papers,
and at the F mer's Club, about the use of
apples for fee ing stock, and I expect he
wanted to try the experiment. Indeed, he
said as much, thatepples would be as good
for his‘cow, as for anybody‘s, and as they
was mighty plenty this year, he'd try em."
“And how does he like the experiment ?"
“Mad as a March hare, you may depend;
says he has had enough of hook—farming to
set him a year; says the Farmer’s Club is a
_set of no-nothings and numb-skulls, from
Tim Bunker down. Apples as cow—feed!
You might jestas well feed a critter on soap
,bubbles. The Old cow has been running
,down ever since he .turned her into that
iorchard, has lost flesh, has shrunk milk, and
._.lie believed if he had kept her in there she
:would have lost her life."
' "He took. her out of the orchard. did he ?”
‘ “Yes; he did, and I wonder how he had
pence enough to do it. Guess he must have
,thougbt of saving the apples for cider.” '
DiscussION AT The ranmarts' CLUB.
The abundant yield Of apples this fall has
led to the discussion of the best methods Of
utilizing them,in the Farmers’ Club Of Hook-
'crtown, and in other places. Hookertowu
may not be as good authority on apples as
ran some other crops, but still we have some
good fruit growers, with level beads, who
know better than to turn their milch cows
into the orchards to eat up the windfalls,
lifter a heavy storm. The discussions we have
had brought out more experience in the use
Of apples than I had supposed.
Deacon Smith said he had used them more
or less in the abundant seasons for thirty
years or over, and considered them among
the most valuable rations produced upon the
farm, taking into account the cost Of produc-
tion. In a well—established orchard, in 'full
liearlng. he thought the refuse apples, which
were left after the burreiling for market was
over, could be furnished for live cents per
He thought they were worth agood
deal urore than that for feeding. He said he
deed them a good deal for feeding to his
horses, at night and morning, beginning with
n;smali quantity, and,when the system was
adjusted to them, giving a peck twice a day,

skin, and were in good condition for work
Oh the farm, or for travel upon the road.
Used, say in the proportion of one-third
apples and two—thirds oats, he thought they
blew worth half the price of oats for horse
feed. This would be from twenty to twenty
five cents a bushel. Since he had learned
their value for horses and cattle he had
ceased to have any solicitude about. market
for his apples. , ‘
Esquire Spicer said he used apples for all
stock, and found them very valuable for his
poultry, especially in fall and winter. He
who led to experiment with apples from the
fabt that his turkeys and hens were so ready
to pick up his windfalls under the trea.
They were good judges of fruit, and inva-
riably trick. the' mellow side Of the mellow-
apples first. Their instinct, he thought, was
a very good guide as to the feed they re
quired, and when apples were plenty,he used
them either raw or cooked to fatten his tur-
keys. lIf cooked with meal they make a
goOd mush to feed warm, in the cold modi-
in' ‘ . HO always liked to have apples in the
feed troughs of his hen house in the winter.
It will be seen from this discussion that
the outcry, sometimes heard, about an over—
stock of apples is pure moonshine. There is
always use for more apples,aud-—morc money,

up and alighted at the steps of the same ho—

landlord conducted him to his room, leaving
the trunk in the burroom. Wishing his trunk
the young man demanded to have it brought
up, and seeing a n passing through the
lower ball, whom he took to be the porter,
he gave his commands in an imperious and
lofty tone. The order was obeyed, the man
charging a quarter of a. dollar for his services.
A marked quarter, that was good only for 20
cents, was slipped slyly into his band, and
was put intObis pocket by the man with a
smile. ‘
“And now, sirrah,” cried the new arrival,
“you know Governor Grimes?”
“0 yes, sir.” '
“Well, take my card to him and tell him
I wish an interview with him at' his earliest

A peculiar look flushed from the man's
blue eyes, and, with a smile, extending his
hand, he said :
“I am Governor Grimes, at your service,
sir."
“You—I—that is, my dear sir, I beg—a—

At the Stamp Window.
Just before 11 o’clock yesterday forcnoon,
there were thirteen men and one woman at
the stamp window of the post office, Most
of the men had letters to post for the eastern
trains. The woman had something tied up
in albino match-box. She got there first, and
she held the position with her head in the
window and both elbows on the shelf.
“Is there such a place in this country as
Cleveland,” sift: began.
“Oh, yes.”
“Do you send mail there."
“Yes-u
“Well, a woman living next door asked
me to mail this box for her. I guess its di.
rectcd all right. She said it ought to go for
a cent.”
“Takes two cents," said, the clerk after
weighing it. “If there's writing inside it will
be twelve cents." ' ' , .
“Mercy on me, but how you dochargc 1”
Here the thirteen men began to push up
and hustle around and talk about one old
match-box delaying two dozen Business let—
ters, but the woman had lots of time.
“Then it will be two cents, ch 1’”
“If there is no writing inside.”
“Well, there may be. I_ know she is a great
band to write. She’s sending some flower
seed to her sister. andI presume she has told
her how to plant ’em.”
“Two threes!” called one of the crowd, a!
he tried to get to the window.
‘tHurry up 1" called another.
“There ought to be a separate window here
for women 1" growled a third.
“Then it will take twelve cents 1” she
calmly queried, as she fumbled around for
her purse.
“Yes.” .
“Well, 'd better pay it, I guess.”
From one pocket she took two coppcrs.
From her reticule she took a three cent
piece. From her purse Ibe fished out a
nickel; and it was only after a hunt of eighty
seconds that she got the twelve cents to-
gether. She then consumed four minutcs'm
licking on the stamps, asking where to post
the box and wondering if there was any
writing inside, but woman proposes and man
disposes. Twenty thousand dollars’ worth
of business was being detained by a twelve—
cent woman, and a tidal wave suddenly took
her away from the window. In sixty seconds
the thirteen men had been waited on and
gone on their Ways, and the woman returned
to the window, handed in the box, and said:
“Them stamps are licked on kind 0’ crook-
ed, but it won't make any difference will it?’

Thirty years ‘ago Michigan people were a
frank and truthful set. Strangers could
come. here and trade horses with their eyes
shut, and breach of promise cases were un—
known. Folks meant what they said, and
when they gave their word stuck to it.
\
widower’ from New York State appeared in
Lansing on business. That same,business
carried him over to De Witt, eight miles
away, While On the way he stopped at a
log farm-house to warm his cold fingers. He
was warmly welcomed by the pioneer and
his wife, both of whom were well advanced
in years, and after some general talk the
woman queried: e
“Am I 'right in thinking you are a
widower P” '
“Yes?”
“Did you,come out here to find a wife 1’”
“Partly.” '
“Did anybody tell you of our Susie ?"
“N0."
“Well, We’ve got as bouncing a girl of
twenty two as. you ever set eyes on. She’s
good-looking, healthy, and good—tempered,
and I think she’ll like your looks.”
“Where is ghe ?"
“Over in the woodschopping down a coon
tree. Shall I blow thé mm for her i"
“No. If you'll keep an‘,..-yc on my horse
I’ll find her.”
“Well, there’s nothing stuck up or affected
about Susie. She'll say yes or no, as soon as
she looks you over. If you want her, don’t
be afraid to say so.”
The stranger heard the sound of her axe
and followed it He found her just as the
tree was ready to fall. She was a stout,
good-looking girl, swinging an axe like a
man, and in two minutes he had decided to
say: ‘ ‘
“Susie, I’m a widower from New York
State; I’m thirty-nine years Old, have one
child, own a good farm and 1 want a wife.
Will you go back home with me P”
She leaned on the axe and looked at him
for half a minute, and then replied:
' "Can’t say for certain. Just wait till I get
‘ ‘ thesecoons oh my mind."
She sent the tree crashing to the, earth, and
with his help killed ._flve coons, which were
stowed away in a hollow. -
“Well, what do you say i" he said, as the
last coon stopped kicking,
“I’m ygur’n l” was the reply; “and by the
time you get back from De Witt, I’il'have
these pelts OII jaud tacked up and be ready
for the preacher l” '
He returned to the house, told the old folks
that he should bring a'preacher back with
him. and at dusk that evening the twain were
married. Hardly an hour had been wasted in
courting, and yet he took home one of the
best girls in the State of Michigan.

The researches of Prof. Quinckc indicag
that the change of volume of solid and liqui
bodies under electrical influence is not due
to heat, for the change produced in the vol-

For the purpose 0. deterrninipg the capac-

dent to a state of siege, a series of experi-
ments has been made in Paris. The results
show that a horsemay hold out for twenty-
five days without any solid nourishment,
provided it is supplied with sufficient good
drinking water; that a horse can subsist for
barely five days without water ; and thirdly,
that if a horse is well fed for ten days, but
insufiiciently supplied with water throughout
this period, it will not outlive the eleventh
day. A horse which had received no solid
nourishment for twelve days was neverthe-
less in a condition to draw a load of six
hundred pounds on the twelfth day of its

’ (looking: a Turkey.
There is roast turkey, and roast turkey,but
there is a wide difference even when the birds
are of like age and quality. depending wholly
upon the skill in the kitchen, or of its super-
intendent. A lady who is reputed to always
have “good roast turkey," at our request
kindly wrote out the following for the Ameri-
can. Agricultun’st : “Unless it is badly soiled,
never soak, wash, or wet a turkey, as many
do. Indeed, washing injures any kind of
meats and fish, except those kept in salt
brine. Carefully draw the turkey, and wipe
thoroughly inside and out with a dry towel.
It will thus keep longer uncooked, and be
better flavoring—If it chances to be a tough
one, steam it an hour or two, as needed,
before baking. If one has not a steamer
large enough, as few have, it may be done in
a wash-boiler, supporting the bird above the
water on a couple of inverted basins, or sus—
pending it by strings from the handles—My
family has learned to like plain stufiiug rather
than the highly seasoned, rich. indigestible
dressing so much in vogue. I use stale bread
chopped fine, just moistened with scalding
water, not to a ‘mnsh,’ and add a little but—
ter, salt. pepper, and,if desired, a small pinch
of Sweet Marjoram or Thyme. Most like
Summer Savory, but we omit it, because not
relished by one of the family. After stufling
and sewing, fasten the wings and legs down
closely with skewers or by tying with strings.
Roast in the dripping pan without water. TO
then with a little water seasoned with butter
and salt. Bake through uniformly to a light
brown, avoiding burning or hardening any
part. A good oyster stufllng, when easily
obtainable, is liked by many; as follows :
Drain off most of the liquor from the oysters,
season with sufficient butter and pepper, and
roll them in cracker ‘or bread crumbs. Fill
the cavity of the turkey entirely with these}:

DEATH OF A MAN WHO SAVED GRANT.—,—-A.
20, says: “Josiah Deloach, died in this citv
today at the advancd age‘ of 73 years. He
was a prominent Union man during the late
civil war. He it was who gave Gen. Grant
timely warning°of the approach of Van
Doran’s cavalry, which saved the gencrnl
from capture. This incident occurred in this
county, near Collierville,’giu 1872. Gen.
Grant at that time was on a reconnoitering
expedition, and had intended resting for the
night at Deloach’s house. The servicemen—
dered was not forgotten, for on Grant's as—
cendancy to the presidency, Deloacb was ap-
pointed postmaster of Memphis, which posi—
tion he held during the eight years Of Gen.
Grant’s admOistration.” _
