RECITALS OF CAMP AND BATTLE INCIDENTS.' finrriTora of tba Rebellion Batata Many Amusing; and Startlias locideataef ZXarchea Camp Life, Forajj- , In experience and Battla Ccanea "Do you know." said the Doctor, "that Lieutenant Stephr- G. Grobb, vrho saved Sherman's . ammunition at Kesaca, Lar" four brothers in the Union army? Stephen G. Grubb was "with the Illinois contingent of the family, and enlisted at Ottawa early In 1861, in Captain Charles Houghtaling's battery (C, First Illinois artillery), and saw hard service in the Western armies, serving until June 12, 18G3. About the same time Edmund Grubb enlisted in company I, Second Pennsylvania cavalry, and the three other brothers in different Eastern regiments. "Stephen G. Grubb was promoted in "due time to First Lieutenant, and in May, 1864, was serving as ordinance officer in charge of the immense quantity of ammunition stored a Resaca for use in Sherman's campaign against Atlanta, One daj the great pile of ammunition was set on fire by light- - nJng, and Lieutenant Grubb and Dan B. Anderson, of the First Kentucky infantry went among the exploding shells and put the fire out. "That was a gallant act to remain unrecognized by the government. However, that story has been told, although I never he?rd it until a few weeks ago. Then it teminded me of an adventure of another Grubb, whlsh, , while less heroic,; showed the same quality of courage and daring. In the latter months of 1863, Edmund Grubb, first sergeant, company I, Second Pennsylvania cavalryj and his chum- "My" fSouthwlck, were at their homes in Crawford County, Pennsylvania, on reteran furlough. "They had been ordered to take the train at Meadville for return to the front on a certain day. The day before that fixed for their departure there was a riot at Meadville in which two soldiers were killed and others wounded. As the mob controlled the city the United States marshal of the district notified Grubb and other soldiers of the county that it would be advisable for them to take the train two.milea from Meadville, so as to not come in conflict with the mob. "Grubb rebelled against this order and declared he would take the train at Meadvir.? or he wouldn't take it at all. Southwick Joined him at the Grubb home. They had their cavalry sabers and their Colt revolvers with them, but no ammunition. They made or secured ammunition, and on the appointed day went to Meadville. Their friends accompanied them in a Tagon until they met the mob ready for action. Then, under orders of Sergeant Grubb, the friends retired and the sergeant and Southwick went forward to meet the mob. "The leader of the mob explained that no sold'or should be permitted to board any train at Meadville. Grobb explained that he and his comrade had leen ordered to take the train at Q A TTl lid Tflf f VlOYf TFAFA Vol ÖM t -1 diers and must obey orders; rhat they were both good shots and handy with the saber, and that if necessary they would shoot or cut their way through any force that obstructed their march. Thereupon he and Southwick drew their sabers, cocked their revolvers, and side by clde marched down the street The mob made way for them, but followed threateningly. Est the two soldiers marched down the main street and boarded their train. "Grubb served through the war, but Southwick was killed at the crossing of the Rapidan. One morning he came to Grubb, then In command of the company, and said his time had come. He had a severe pain in the chest and had a presentiment that he was to be shot Just where the pain was severest. Grubb tried to laugh him out of the despondency, showing him that there was no sign of a fight anywhere. In the afternoon the regiment wasordered forward, went -unexpectedly Into a fight, and Southwick was struck where he said he would be and was killed." "Speaking of mobs reminds me" said the Captain, "of an experience I had with the copperheads of Harrison County, Ohio, in July of 1S63. Several of us were at home on furlough, and we didn't take kindly to the display of butternut and copperhead pins worn by the ultra anti-war Democrats. John A. Bingham made a speech July 4 at Newmarket, and hundreds of men wearing butternut pins came to the grounds looking for trouble. This aroused our soldier resentment, and we organized by fours for a raid. "Our squad of four hired a stolid country boy to drive, us through the copperhead contingent and we tore off every butternut pin ve could reach, sometimes dragging the wearer into the carriage and pummeling him. This was exciting work, and we warmed to it, but we soon realized that we were in a hornet's nest. In less than half an hour we were being chased by COO men armed with canes,, clubs and stones. I never saw so many canes In my life, and the men wno carried them meant business. "They deployed to surround us before we could get out of the grounds. Ve were nearing the fence when we discovered anothtr column, armed with canes and clubs, coming from the Cthtr direction. , Ws seemed to be between two converging hostile lines' and were about to cut and run when a queer thing happened. One running line struck the fence and demolished It, and dashed on the other line wlth a yell. We soon divined that one, column was xnad3 of our friends, cr of the soldiers frlentfs, and, whipping our horccs to a gullop, we went into the Cht It was beautiful. It was worth remembering We routed the butternut, fellows, and ths Eoldiers who had caurcd the trouble were the hsrosj cf thalie-ur. ?'.

took it away from him and he skedaddled for town. In ten minutes he came back with forty or fifty men, who said they had been looking for us all day. As each of us was acting as escort for a young lady we explained that this wasn't our time to fight. "One huge bully marched up to me and explained that I would have to take a licking. The young woman with me caught up a hatchet and heavy weight from the scales on the platform and, making ready to throw one and strike with the other, said quietly to me: "We are used to this. Knock him down and I will keep off the crowd." Just as the big man was closing on me in answer to the girl's defiance a man in the crowd shouted: 'Don't strike that soldier. He was an old schoolmate of mine, and he must have fair play "Thereupon the speaker crowded forward and I recognized a fellow with whom I had had scores of tussles at school. He took his 6tand beside me, and others came to his assistance. In the end we were permitted to take the train." Chicago Inter Ocean. Justice In the Abstract. Some persons can appreciate a Joke, even though they be the victims of It Private Weed, of Company A, as A. O Marshall's "Army Life" records, had the ability of seeing Justice in the ab stract, although Its application was personal and undeserved. Weed was always getting Into trouble by happening along at the wrong time, as in the following Instance, when he received punishment for depredations in which he took no part One day, as he was walking down in command at Indlanola, Tex., during a part of the civil war, had the repu tation of being a strict disciplinarian The town was deserted and the stores. containing much stock, were aban doned. Gen. Warren gave strict orders that no one should enter these shops nor In any way meddle with the goods. nOe day, as he was walking down one of the business streets, he saw several lawless soldiers getting into a side window of a tobacco store. Instead of having them arrested, the general dismissed them in his own prompt and energetic way. Weed," as usual, had come along at the unfortunate moment, and was treated as one of the culprits. Warren was his ideal of a soldier, and he rushed back to camp, exclaiming: , ' "I tell you, boys, the general is the stavingest, best officer we ever had! lie. means business! He's Just the kind of an officer we need!" ,; An explanation of this outburst was asked. "Just now I saw Gen. Warren catch some boys stealing tobacco and sugar. He didn't fool about it one bit I He caught one fellow and kicked him lively. Kicked him right into the middle of the street! I tell you, boys, he's a splendid officer! He's a staving good fellow! He's the boss!" The eloquent praise was broken by some one asking: "Who got the kicking?" "Oh, I tell you he's a staving officer!" went on Weed. "He's chock-full of energy! I I got the kicking!" Prised m a Relic. , Hanging in the office of Col. It. S. Robertson, in Berry street, Fort Wayne, Ind., is a "call to arms" that has a history. It Is printed on a sheet of white paper about the size of a page of the Indianapolis News. It was published In Whitehall, N. Y., during the civil war, and was a call for the organization of a regiment to come exclusively from Washington County, of that State. Gen. J. S. Croker, who organized the regiment, which was known as the Ninety-third New York, rose from the rank of colonel to brevet major general, and after the war was made warden of the Federal prison at Washington. As warden he conducted the hanging of Charles Guiteau, the murderer of President Garfield. ' Gen. Croker has been dead only a few years. Col. Robertson came into possession of the call to arms In a singular way. When he enlisted his mother .took a copy of the call and folded and then tucked it away in a drawer containing precious mementoes. Years passed, the war ended and the call to arms was forgotten. Not long ago Col. Rolertson happened to be rummaging through a relic drawer and saw a folded 6heet lying among the other keepsakes. He unfolded it. Imagine his surprise when his old regiment's call unfolded before him. The folds were broken by age, but he carefully pasted the old call on a piece of muslin and then framed it It now occupies a conspicuous place in his office, and money will not buy It Tlas Never Been Discharged. Thomas Vernon, of Honey Creek Township, near Kokomo, Ind., Is probably the only enlisted soldier of the civil war who has never been discharged. Mr. Vernon was one of the first to enlist in his country's service, responding to the first call for 75,000 men. He was regularly mustered In with his regiment as a private and went into Camp Marlon with his comrades. When the commanding officers learned that Vernon was supporting the families of seven soldiers, nearly all In destitute circumstances, he Instructed the provost to send him home. Vernon returned with instructions to be ready to return to the field on call. Through come error Vernon's name was dropped from the muster roll, and all record of bin was lost Vernon cannot be discharged, for the reason that there Is no record of his enlistment During the entire period cf the war he held himself In readiness for the call to the front but none came, and he was no farther than Indianapolis. Forty-four years have passet?, and Vernon is still a soldier in Uncle Sam's service, having been regularly sworn in and never mustered out Vernon, now past 0 years old and feeble, had hoped that at some period or otherthe government would crder his release, but is now cf the opinion that he will die In the tzxnzzz.

RATIONS FOR GROWING PIGS. Jame3 Wilson, Sscretary of Agriculture, in an address before the Iowa Swine Breeders, presented the following on rations for growing pigs: Twenty .0 sixty . pound pigs: Three ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk. Sixty to 100 pound pigs: Six ounce.3 of corn meal to each quart of milk. One hundred to ISO pound pigs: Eight ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk. On most farms the supply of milk will be limited and In these cases the same station recommends the following iations: 1. Twenty to 180 pound pigs: Three ounces of corn meal, wheat, ryo or hominy meals to each quart of milk, and than gradually increase meals to satisfy appetites. Twenty to sixty pound pigs: Miik at disposal, plus mixture of one-third corn meal, one-third wheat bran and one-third gluten meal to satisfy appetites. 2. Sixty - to 100 pound pigs: Milk at disposal, plus Vie mixture of onehalf corn meal, one-fourth wheat bran, and one-fourth gluten meal to satisfy appetites. . One hundred to 180 pound pigs: llilk at disposal, plus the mixture of two-thirds corn meal, one-sixth wheat bran and one-sixth gluten meal to satisfy appetites. Twenty to sixty pound pigs: Three ounces of corn meal to each quart of milk and four ounces of gluten feed as a substitute for quart of milk. 3. Sixty to one hundred pound pigs: Milk at disposal and mixture cf one-half corn meal and one-half gluten feed to satisfy appetites. Onj hundred to ISO pound pigs: -Milk at disposal and mixture of twothirds corn meal and one-third gluten feed to satisfy appetitei. SILAGE FOit BEEF CATTLE. Some weeks ago we published an interesting article from a noted, cattle feeder of Ohio, Mr. Humphrey Jones, showing the value of corn silage for beef cattle. Ia a recent issue of the Breeders Gaz' Ue, Mr. J. E. Wing, another well-ki ?.n cattle feeder, says on the same 1 iject: "We have aed the silo two winters with young cattle that we were fattening and three winters with lambs. We are entirely pleased wift the results and are planning to build our third silo. We do not, however, put all our corn in the silo nor do wo advise the course or certain amount cf dry feed we think very desirable In connection with silase when it Is fed. We allow the corn to become as ripe as it can without losing the juice of the stalk; it is fully ripe enough to crib carefully when we ensilo it. We also plant in the usual manner, put ting no more stalks to the hill than If planted for cribbing, and use no larger a variety of corn. We wish the corn to mature before being put in the silo. The ensilolng of immature green corn has not resulted well for there is no fat in green, watery, immature vegetation. For some years past silage was fed chiefly to dairy cows, but in the past iew years cattle feeders are finding it equally as valuable for beef cattle, and many silos will this season be erected for this purpose. Indiana Fanner. MAKING STEERS PAY. At the Ontario agricultural college the long-keep steer3 have always produced cheaper gains . than the shortkeep steers. -it is impossible,- however, to produce a pound of gain in live weight at the price per pound for which, live animals are sold. There is, therefore, a Ioös on every pound of Increase which a steer makes, and the more pounds cf increase which he is required, to make before he 13 fit for market the. greater the loss will be. .Thus a stserwhich requires to gain only 200 pounds before he is fit for market, will give a. srcaller loss than the steer whicli requires to gain 300 pounds before he is finished. It is true, as mentioned before, that the long-kcscp steer can be made, with careful feeding, to produce a pound of gain at a Izza co-t than the shortkeep steer; but this difference in faor or the long-keep steer Is not sufficient to counterbalance the disadvantage in havin? to put on a greater number of pounds. The only chance of profit that tue feeder ha3 is In making the carcass which he purchases worth so much more per pound than he paid for It that it will wipe out the los3 Incurred la producing the gain In weight This being the case, it follows that a person can afford to pay more for a fleshy steer which can be finished in a short time than for a steer .which requires to make a larger gain, and consequently calls for a longer period of feeding. . PROTECTION FOR VINES. Many who have . climbing vinos around tue house have set varieties that ought not to have been planted. The climate may be too cold for certain tender vines, and It will, be impossible to winter them with puccess. The best plan 43 to have vines that are entirely hardy in your climate. The honeysuckles, the American ivy and most cf the heavily-wooded sorts are hardy, or &o nearly so that they need, only a mound cf earth around the. base to crry them ' through severe winters. Yhe clematis family i3 readily, protected, as the top3 usually die back, srv that only care of the roots is needed which Is readily given by the mrund of earth, and over this some coare half-rotted man u-fe free from straw. In some sections it Is- the custom to wrap tender vinss and shrubs in traw. Thero is no decided objection to this if the top is left open so that a circulation of air will pass over the s!Tib, and If one is sure no mice will get in near the bottom to gnaw the tzzizr chco. The plan cl laying ever tL: art Hy-tender vine and cov-

- "x ir-fe.

erlng it with soil' is also adopted in some sections, but a vine so tender a to require this -treatment ought no: to bo planted. THE BROOD SOWS. Give brood sows the freedom o the pasture fields when with young pigs, and as soon as the pigs are old enough to eat, feed a littlo shelled corn and dry middlings with a mash of wheat middlings and milk. .Sows with pig3 should alwajs have access to a good blue grass pasture and should not be fed too much corn. The largest part of the ration should be made up of oats and bran with a lit tie oil meal. Have plenty of char coal and ashes constantly available An occasional feel of salt will be found profitable. The Massachusetts Ploughman. THOSE FRIGHTENED HENS. When a farmer, or a farmer's wife goes into the yard where the fowls are kept and you immediately see a great commotion caused by the hens scurrying around Into all sorts of cor ners etc., ' you ' can make up you mind that there is something radical ly wrcng with the one who takes care cf those hens. The nervou3 hens that are being constantly shooed frightened or driven about are never paying hens. They can no more be made profitable than a nervous or excitable cow. If your hens are this class, you can make up .your mind that there is something wrong and not wi;h the h?ns and you should apply the remedy as quickly as possible. MILK FOR CALVES AND PlGS. The experience in the use of swee skim milk from the cream separator, for feeding calves and pigs, is uni formly favorable. A farmer writes that he has been using it fresh from the separator for over three years both in feeding calves and pigs and hai found it mcst excellent For calve3 he ' rrixes a little meal and middlings with the milk, and fcr pigs imcreas'es the 'meal somewhat and says that both grow rapidly on such feeding. He warns against feeding milk that has soured in the least and himself feeds it sweet from the separator. PROTECTION FOR COWS. Many farmers ure in the habit of permitting their cows to stay on the pasture through the night; we prefer the plan of having them in the wel ventilated and quite cool barns where they can be groomed if necessary and the milking done with greater com fort to both milker and animal. If, however, one thinks best to leave them on the pasture all night, some sort of protection should be provid ed so that in case a heavy storm comes up' they will not be made mis erable. Satisfactory Conference. Hearing voices inside the room, the wife of. the eminent. financier paused at the door of his office and heard this conversation: "Yes, , we have several - hundred thousand dollars over and above any possible amount we shall need this year for taking up matured endow ment policies or paying death claims, which :we should like to invest in good securities." "You have full power to Invest this fund?" . ; "Absolutely." '. "H'nu ; I'm glad to meet .you, indeed. IV happens most opportunely that out firm Is ' about to organize a syndicate for the- exploitation of cer tain suburban properties. The securi ty i.3 gilt edged and the profits are sure to be large. We can uso a considerable amount of .money la financ ing this enterprise." . "Do you consider It, personally, a desirable investment?' "I consider it away ud in G. It's the' best thing now on the' market." "Well, I'll see you again tomorrow, and we will arrange for the deal." Here the conversation ceased. The wife of the eminent financier waited a moment longer, then knocked lightly on the door, and went in. "Why, Jasper," she said, surprised at finding him alone, "I thought I heard you talking to somebody." "Quite likely, my dear," he answered, with a large and genial smile. "I was talking to myself."

1 i PARSNIP BALLS. Boil parsnips and mash them as you would potatoes. To two cups of the mashed parsnips add two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and one egg. Form' this mixture into small balls and set in tho ice chest Leave for two hours, then drop in boiling fat and dry. These are a nice accompaniment to roast or broiled meat. SWEET POTATO PUFF. Boil sweet potatoes, peel them, and, while hot, mash. Add melted butter and milk until you have a soft mass, then whip in two well-beaten eggs, and enough cream to make a very soft mixture. Add salt and turn into a buttered pudding dish and bake to a golden-brown. This is delicious. MILK SAUCE. Dissolve a tablespoonful of flour In cold milk; see that it Is free from lumps. Whisk an ounce of butter and a cupful of sugar to a cream, and add to it a pinch of salt Mix together half a pint of milk, one egg, and the flour; stir this into the butter and add a dash of nutmeg or any flavor; beat until near the boilin? point and, serve. Very nice la place, of cold cream. COMMON SWEET SAUCE. Into a pint cf water stir a paste made of a tablespoonful of cornstarch or flour (rubbed smooth with a little cold water); add a cupful of sugar and a tablespoonful of vinegar. Cook well for three minutes. Take from the fire and add a piece of butter as large as a small egg; when cool, flavor with a tablespoonful of vanilla or lemon extract CAFE PARFAIT. For two quarts, take twelve ounces of freshly roasted coffee (do not. grind it). Put this into a sirup, add the yolks of eight eggs, place it on the fire and keep constantly stirred until it thickens, take off the range and strain. Keep stirring after placing the mixture cn the ice. Beat a quart of whipped cream to a froth and add to the mixture. Put all in a mold, cover closely and place in a bucket of salted ice for two hours or more. Wipe off the mold carefully so that no particles of salt remain, dip in warm water, turn out and serve Immediately. NESSELRODE PUDDING. Prepare a chestnut ice cream (for two quarts). Peel and roast white, eighteen large chesnuts, bciluntil thoroughly done in a sirup, drain, then pound to a puree, dilute with sixteen yolks of eggs, the sirup and a pint of milk; add twelve ounces of powdered sugar, and a vanilla bean cut In short pieces. Put in a basin and place on the range, stir until it thickens, remove and rub through a fine sieve, add a quart of raw cream, mix thoroughly. 'Line the inside of a smooth jelly mold with the mixture and fill the hollow with the same preparation, mixed with candied chestnuts and fruits that have been soaked in sirup. Cover the mold so that It will be air tight and put in a bucket of salted ice. Allow to stand for two hours. Place it in a folded napkin and serve with it sauce. USEFUL HINTS. A clam shell is better and more convenient for scraping a pot cr kettle than a knife. Keep a bottle of salad oil well corked, in a cold, dry place, and always in the dark. If ice is applied to a burned finger until It stops smarting the skin will dry aid leave no blister. If stove polish is moistened with benzine the blacking will last much lonaer and be brighter on the stove. Fill used cans with cold water, but let them soak away from the stove, as heat make3 them harder to clean. Dissolve a little fine white sugar ?n the last rinsing water when washing fine lace, and do not use starch. To remove a rusty screw, first apnlv a. verv hot iron to the head for a short time, then immediately use the screw driver. A verv strong solution cf alum and hot water applied to furniture and crevices in walls will destroy vermin of all kinds. Powdered horse chestnuts, dried and reduced to a powder, are -sa'd to be excellent for removing tan ana whitening the hands. Use it like al mond meal. Dot the layers and top of the maple sugar or chocolate frosted cake with English walnut meat They improve looks and taste.

A WEtL-ROUNDED ACTOR.

William J. L.e3Ioyne, W'bo Died Recently in New York. One of the oldest actors on the American- tage passed away Monday in New York, when William J. LeMoyne breathed his last. He was a well-rounded player, a pupil of Booth, Forrest and Fetcher, and was willing and able to take a wide variety of parts. lie was master of a certain unctuous humor, and liked best to play such old men parts as Dick Phenyl and Deacon Hoggard, where he could also indulge in a little pathos and a little emotional stress. He never sought to trade on his peculiar ability nor allow it to narrow his range of usefulness. Mr. LeMoyne was born In Boston, of French extraction, in 1S31. He began his stage career in Portland twentyone years later. He was playing at the Howard Athenaeum in Boston when the civil war broke out, and he at once enlisted in the 2Sth Massachusetts Volunteers. He rose to the rank a j. 1 - j . .... 01. tapiain, ana rougnt tin a severe wound at South Mountain forced his retirement. After his recoverv he again resumed his profession as an actor, continuing it till his illness four years ago. It is said that he played at one time or another every male part in Hamlet except that of the Dane himself and Laertes. lie was prominent in Saints and Sinners, in Sweet Lavender, and in many other comedies. His range is thus seen to have been wide, his mind agile and able to keep abreast of the times, and adaptable to the changes In taste. He was one of those well-rounded players that are becoming so rare, and his death marks vividly their decrease. I GENTLER RUSSIA. $ Just now the chief associations ia public mind with Russia are those of death, failure, anarchy and hopeless misery. It is good to have a pleasanter vision brought before one, giving glimpses of the gentler side of the Russian peasant. A beautiful custom prevails among the Russian country folk of giving alms in the "Name of Christ." Universal sentiment makes It a sin to turn a petitioner away. A mendicant bows low to the ground before a house and murmurs, "For Christ's Sake." However meager the store of that household, something is bestowed upon the beggar, always with the response, "For Christ's Sake." Nearly every baker's shop has its bin where stale bread Is put and from which the needy are Invited to take "For the Love of Christ" There are many poor Russian families who are too proud to beg; for their benefit a sort of secret charity is practiced. A tap on the window and the words, "For Christ's Sake," causes the needy person to open the door of his hut. No one is to be seen, but there are footprints in the snow, and a piece of bread Is on the ledge of the window. No people treat aliens more kindly . than do the Russian peasants. During the last Turkish war, when burghers and street boys were casting mud and stones at the poor Turkish prisoners, the mujiks offered bread and coppers, and even took them to their village homes as hired laborers. At first the peasants were greatly perplexed as toi whether It was allowable to share their I meals with infidels, but their pity I conquered prejudice, and It became at common sight to see representatives' of the two belligerent nations eating amicably at the same table. A Cheerful Helper. The energy which Mrs. Rideout brought to all her own affairs extended to those of her family, and even her neighbors. At times her helpless relatives made feeble protests, but they were always overborne. "Yes, I'm going on to New York with mother early In September, be fore her friends get back," said Mrs Rideout cheerily, to one of the cous ins, while her little mother sat near her with apprehension written all over her small features. "I'm going to have "mother's teeth out then," said Mrs. Rideout, with reassuring smile. "' "They trouble her, I know, though she says little about It And I'm intending to stop at Cous In Anna's on the way, and say that I can take her Frank along and see to having his. teeth straightened at the same time.

Sympathy. One afternoon last summer there entered a hospital la the. poorer quarter of Philadelphia a little cirl cf about 8 years, bearing in her arms a ox terrier whose forefoot had been crushed by a heavy -wagon. To the attendant who tells the story the little girl explained that she desired to have the t'octors "fix the doggy's foot."
