HAPP SAVED HIS COTTON. AN INCIDENT OF SHERMAN'S MARCH THROUGH GEORGIA. Through the influence of Music and Old Burgundy $20,000 Worth of Cotton Escapes the Turch - A Concert Where "Dixie" Was Tabored. When the people of Blanderville heard that Sherman's army was headed in this direction burning and destroying everything in their line of march, they took the precaution to have several bales of cotton which were scattered about town moved on the public square so as to guard against a confagration of the town, in the event the cotton should be burned by the enemy. Sherman's army reached the town at o'clock in the morning of Nov. 28, 1834. Among their first acts after they reached town was to saturate the cotton with kerosene oil and set it on fire. There were two Federal officers present at the burning, who seemed to have charge of the fire department. After burning the cotton on the public square their next move was to go up to Pincus Happ's, on Harris street, and burn fifty bales of cotton Happ had piled up on his back lot. Happ was on the lookout; he saw volumes of smoke roll up from the public square and smelt the fumes of burning cotton. He saw them coming up the street; he realized at once his cotton was downed to a fiery ordeal and himself to ruin, unless he could by some strategic move capture the enemy. MONEY WOULDN'T BUY IT. He had a dozen bottles of old Burgundy wine in his collar, which he thought might be made to play an important part in capturing the enemy and saving his cotton. He met the enemy at his gate with a pleasant smile and friendly greeting, told them that he was happy to meet some Union soldiers, invited them to call and make themselves at home. They accepted his invitation, went in and took seats in the parlor. After a little pleasant conversation they inquired if there was any wine or brandy in town said that a little would be very acceptable after a long march Happ told them that there was no spirits in town of any kind except a few bottles of old Burgundy wine he purchased when his daughter Jenile was a baby to keep until his daughter married, to regale the guests at the marriage feast. They proposed to Happ to sell them a couple of bottles of the Burgundy, they would pay any price he asked. Happ told them that wine was a sacred trist, dedicated to love and friendship; he had promised his wife that no one but old father Abraham, if he should happen along, should taste that wine until their daughter Jenile married, but as they were Union soldiers, soldiers fighting for the flag, he would be highly flattered if they would allow him to present them with a couple of bottles of the old Burgundy. They readily accepted Happ's offer, with many expressions of thanks for his generous They proposed to sell them a couple of bottles of Burgundy, they would pay any price he asked. Happ told them that wine was a sacred trust, dedicated to love and friendship; he had promised his wife that no one but old father Abraham, if he should happen along, should taste that wine until their daughter Jennie married, but as they were Union soldiers, soldiers fighting for the flag, he would be highly flattered if they would allow him to present them with a couple of bottles of the old Burgundy. They readily accepted Happ's offer, with many expressions of thanks for his generous gift and especially for his kindness to Union soldiers. Away went Happ, to the cellar to bring up the two bottles of old Burgundy; to his great disappointment there was not a bottle to be found. Mrs Happ had sent it off the day before, without his knowledge, and had it buried deep in mother earth to protect it from the ravages of the enemy. She left two bottles of blackberry wine in the cellar, not thinking them worthy a Christian burial. Happ in looking about the cellar, almost in a state of despair at the absence of the old Burgundy, discovered the two bottles of blackberry wine, he seized them, brushed off the dust and cobwebs, and hurried back and delivered them to his guests in the parlor. THE SONGS THAT PLEASED. They soon had the bottles open, tested the wine pretty freely, were highly pleased with its flavor, pronounced it a first class brand of old Burgundy wine, improved very much by age. They discussed the probable date of its vintage, and came to the conclusion judging by the flavor of wine, that it could not be less than 20 years old. One of them said that the wines would readily sell in "Bosting" for $40 a bottle, that the rich natals in "Bosting" never drank wine that cost less than $40 a bottle. It had now become time to test the old Burgundy again. They invited Happ to join them in drinking a bumper. He joined them, so they filled their glasses to the brim and drank each other's health. One of Happ's guests remarked that it was the custom up in the big north to have music after drinking a bumper. Happ went out and called two daughters, Miss Jennie and Anna, told them Yankees in the parlor wanted to hear them play on the piano, to go in and play anything but "Dixie"—he had been told by our boys in Virginia that "Dixie" always demoralized the Yankees, and was sure to create a stampede, especially when Stonewall Jackson led the music—but to play some of those old tunes that will please the Yankees, such as "Yankee Doodle." The young ladies went into the parlor and played the "Bonny Blue Flag," and several other old Yankee airs, which pleased their guests very much, and finally closed the concert with "Sweet Home," there is no place like home." With "Sweet Home" the finale was reached, the enemy surrendered at dissection, and called a guard and placed over Happ's cotton, with strict instructions to allow no one to approach within less than fifty yards of that pile of cotton. Whether it was the sweet music or the blackberry wine that calmed the savage breast and saved Happ's cotton, is yet a moot question. Suffice it to say that Happ saved his cotton and sold it at the close of the war for over twenty thousand dollars in gold. Happ well deserved his success, he was a good citizen, enterprising, kind hearted and charitable. At the commencement of the war he was past the military age, consequently did not enlist in the Confederate service—Sandersville (Ga.) Herald. Bent Wood Furniture.

The material to be bent, as practiced in Austria, is usually the red breech, a product of the Hungarian forests. In the United States the common boech and birch are used and stained with the aniline rods modified by logwood and Brazil wood. The timber is sawed into strips of the proper size and finished in a gauge lathe or by hand to the required proportions. They are then placed in a tight case of wood or iron and subjected to a steaming process for a few minutes, and in work requiring specially sharp bends the last steam is superheated slightly or the goods put under high pressure steam in an iron case with sealed door, capable of fifty pounds pressure. This makes the wood very pliable. Molds of wood or iron are used of the exact shapes, into which the hot strips are bound at the moment of removal from the steam case. In from two to eight days the strips are set and dry, ready for assembling, finishing and varnishing.—Scientific American. The negro population of Mississippi is increasing at a much faster rate than the whites. In 1870 the number of negroes in the state was 445,080, and of whites 884,540. In 1880 the negroes numbered 633,530, and the whites only 481,623. A Sorry Boy. Johnnie, aged 6, has been banished to the bedroom for using bad words to his younger brother, Sam, and told that he must remain there until he was sorry for his misconduct. After a few minutes of kicking and screaming, and then of quiet, he called Sam to the door to receive the following communication: "Sam, if I'm ever sorry for calling you names—and I'll have to stay here an awful while before I am—the first thing I'll do when I get out will be to lick you for telling me." Another long pause and he continued: "You'd better be getting ready, Sam; I'm beginning to feel pretty sorry."—Philadelphia Press. California Extension Stations.
