After Gettysburg tho brigade of Vermont militia with which Btannard routed Pickett's right Hank went back home, and Stannard resumed the command of his old brigade. In the campaign of 1804 he led a division in the Eighteenth corps under another celebrated Vermont warrior, General "Haldy” Smith. Plenty of lighting, with not much glory, fell to that command during the summer, and at the elose of September the corps, with a portion of the Tenth, received orders tomnkea direct attack on the fortifications of Richmond. There was a war crisis at hand, and desperate work must needs ho done. Sheridan in the Shenandoah valley found his crudes confronted by Confederates sent out from Lee’s lines at IHciimond and Petersburg, and in order to make it dangerous

a id a deep ditch. Crowning all were tho parapets of Fort Harrison. In the lines adjacent to the fort there wits batteries trained upor. the approaches, ami the enemy's gunboats on the James were also

within range.

Stannard's line moved forward in columns of division, preceded by tho skirmishers, whose Spencers maintained a constant fnsilade, until It reached the base of the hill, all the time exposed to a piling ing fin- of artillery and musketry- A brief halt for breath and another dash, and tills time at double quick up the stivp slope, and the stars and st i i[>cs wore planted on one of the traverses of the fort. General Burn ham was kilted by a musket ball the moment he leaped the parapet at the head of his line. Colonel Donahue, commander of the skirmishers, stepped Into Burnham's place as leader and was also shot down. General Staiinard nxle boldly at the head of the Third brigade, seeming to Ix'ar a charmed life that day, but three of Ids statf officers fell Is-slde him. Colonel Stevens, leading the First brigade, was shot down at the head of his men, and when the charge was ended not an officer remained above the rank of lieutenant colonel excepting General Stannard. M ire than 60 commissioned officers and 600 men had fallen. The work was found to l>o open on the reverse hide and exposed to recapture from the enemy's reserve lines. To guard against that tho skirmishers,

with their death dealing Spencers, formed | America, and a line around it and kept tho enemy at United States

bay while the elated victors of the charge built, a new parapet across tho open space facing to the rear. Everything depended upon Stannard's holding t lie fort so gallantly won, for Heckman's division,which followed Stannard a short distance, then inarched off to tho right to assault Fort Gilmer, had no success at all. While tho storming columns were swarming over the parapet at Fort Harrison, a body of men

Confederate occupation of Petersburg furnished ample defense for their capital on the south and west sides of the Janie*. On tho east and north, however, the safety of Kiclimoiid depended on mud uiid muscle; on the earthworks extending from Drowry’s bluff, seven miles below the city, atross to the swamps, and the ('hiekahoininy bottoms, where McClellan had besieged It two years lioforo, and thenien behind them. In the hope that these latter would lie few in numlter, and that the works could be carried by storm and the river I crossings seized before help could bo sent front Petersburg, the movement was planned to begin during the night of Sept. 28. Two large Confederate batteries, or forts, commanded the river roads leading to Richmond. The most powerful, named Fort Harrison, crowned a hill amlmount- ! ed Pi guns. Oil the Union right of Fort Harrison stood Fort Gilmer, connected with the former by Infantry parapets and j intrenched field artillery, and on the left a similar system of defenses extended from Fori Harrison to the river and commanded tho bridges. Fort Harrison formed tho key of the line, and the announcement was made at army headquarters that the divisions of Ptanuard and Heckman of the Eighteenth corps had been selected by tho general in chief to storm it at all liaz I ards. Stannard was to lead in person and had been named for tho post by Grant. | So much for his Gettysburg renown, for although lie bad many daring deeds to his

Ill Kansas and other western states the chinchbug is an awful pest. Whole fields of grain arc ruined by it. Professor Snow of tho University of Kaunas has discovered n way of killing off these bugs by spreading an infectious disease among them. Bugs affected with the disease are put in the field, and these infect the others. This has now been done for s. vi ral years, and so successfully that the commissioners of some counties have'employed persons to make a business of applying the infection. Professor Snow has arranged a short course of instruction so that young men and others may learn how to uso the remedy to the best advantage.

At tho Michigan station they set celery plants upon upland, and a part were so placed that they could be flooded often enough to keep the ground well soaked.

brilliant dash, carrying a line of trenches, with a loss of a third of his men. But the sacrifices were useless. Nothing remained in possession of tho Union troops excepting what Stannard clung to around Fort Harrison. This emboldened tho Confederates to try to regain what they had lost, and throughout tho night preparations were innile for a grand counter attack. Duringtho forenoonof the 80th the enemy's gunboats tossed (I inch shells into Stannard's lines, doing little damage, however. About noon two field batteries appeared in the open ground In front of tho newly constructed parapet and opened fire. At 12:30 a storming column emerged

GENERAL GEORGE .). STANNARD. hero of the capture of Mary’s Heights, hold the lend, and this was preceded by two regiments of skirmishers, newly armed for this special purpose with Spencer repeating rillcs. These were tho Tenth New Hampshire and One Hundred and Eighteenth New York. Like tho necdlo guns at Sedan, the Spencers, with their rapid and continuous firing, were to turn the scale at Fort Harrison. When tho column emerged from the pine woods into tho o|icn space in front of the fort, the guns iipened heavily at 1,400 yards. In front of the assailants there was a stretch of low ground covered with brush; beyond that lay a wide open slope, then abatis

distant, advancing in tbrec lines upon the right or northeast quarter of the wotk. It happened that Stannard had stationed his Spencer riflemen behind the parapet at that point. The heavy guns captured in tho work were unsuitable for short range firing, and the light batteries in the fort were without ammunition, so salvation depended upon the muskets. Tho first line of Confederates came on with n yell, but the Spencers cut them down In swaths, and the survivors returned to the shelter of the woods, from which a second line Immediately started, with fierce yells and a rush that carried them to the ditch of the fort. Tho slaughter was terrific, and all j who survived threw down their arms, pro- ! forring surrender to certain death. In tho ; repulse of these two charges the riflemen I bad expended all their Spencer cartridges, ; end tho situation In the fort was desperate \ in tho highest degree. Stannard paced the rampart back and forth, with bis sword In one hand and his hat in thoother, animating the soldiers by gesturea ami well tlmud words. During the second assault Confederate shells ignited tho plno barracks in the Inelosure, and tho Intense bent nearly made the breastworks untonabla for the riflemen. Tho structures were finally torn down an 1 the (lames smothered with earth. Fortunately also a wagon loud of Spencer ammunition drove up to the sally port, and although Confederate bullets flew like hail, and tho teams were shot down in their traces, tho ammunition reached the parapets hi time to help repulse the t hi ixl and last Confederate charge. While standing erect on the works, directing his men, Stannard received a bullet, which shattered his right arm and sent him, fainting, to tho ground. With their attention riveted upon the enemy advnnc- | ing in front, the men did not learn of the 1 catastrophe until Hie last assault had Ix-en repulsed, with fearful slaughter, and then tho cheers of victory were broken In upon , hy the startling rumor, passixl along tho lino in whispers, "Stannard is killed!" It was a false report, for the heroic Vcrmont- ; or only exchanged an arm for the posses- 1 slon of Fort Harrison, which was held to

the end of the war. Geokuk L. Kilmer.

The theory of the tariff reformers and ! of the free traders, whose views tiro \ but partially carried out in thoWilI sou-Gorman tariff bill, is that American ' | production must be decreased. The bar- ; i on robbers and manufacturers who have been putting their hands in Hie pockets , j of tho people must he stricken down, ' which means that the production ot" ! American manufactures must be do- : creased by tho admission through lower

j duties of foreign (jioods.

The many millions of dollars' worth j j of such goods in tho custom house are j ® awaiting such lower rates. It may be, under the ruling of Secretary Carlisle in the construction of this bill, that such goods will have to lie re-exported and reimported in order to secure the | lower rate, but to whatever extent i these lower duties permit of larger imi pui tations to the same extent will Ann ricun production be displaced. Two bod - ! ies cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Every foreign pvixluct will displace an equivalent American product, and the foreign wage earner will | to that extent displace tho American wage earner. To the same extent will the purchasing power of the American people be decreased; to that extent will | our general welfare and our power of

S purchasing be decreased.

It remains to be seen how much our foreign markets will be enlarged by |

A correspondent of Farm, Field and Fireside t^ys: We cut Kaffir corn witli a sledge com harvester, cutting two rows at a time, shock it on the spot until cured, then cut off tho heads with a cornkuife, which can bo dono very rapidly, and thrash (lie seed from the heads with the thrash-

er.

The growth is too heavy to use a mower in it. Some farmers feed it to the cattle as it is cut and cured, giving stalks, seed and all, but this, we consider, involves too great waste, espe cially of tho seed, which is as valuable as corn. If the circumstances aro such that it cannot be thrashed conveniently, I would feed it stalk, grain and all, but in racks so constructed that there shall bo a minimum of waste by tramping it under foot. Kaffir corn ought to be ground before it is fed. The grains are small and hard, and when fed whole a large percentage will pass through the alimentary canal without Ixfing acted upon by the digestive juices. White Clover For I'a^ture.
