Stable Bedding.

A great deal has been written, and many

Wherever an animal Of any sort is kept in
stable, either summer or winter, arguing
for economy, bedding is an important re-

consequently, the health of animals les

and as an absorbent Of liquid manures is

As gatherer and treasurer OF manuri-

the softer and more flexible the material is
the more moisture it absorbs it is plainly ap-

THE country has gone mad with the idea
that the war is closed. Such is not II

American people are too apt to rush into
extremes. Less than year ago gold stood
at 29s, New York was then in despair
Now gold runs down to $50, and New York
will have it that there is to be no NOR
hghtiug. Both these conclusions were
wrong. There was no just cause for des-
pair last July, and there is no reason now
to believe that the war is at an end. The

True Quotation. Gold Gamblers

By such means it was hopedoto create
panic in Washington, and lead to the throw
ing of more Governments upon the weak
market. aa .rH
Thesgamblers, however, overlooked two
facts: a majority of the Government
bonds are the representatives of past prof
it's put into this shape by the holders for
permanent investment; and they are most
~ held by persons who have nothing to do
with. the Stock Board, and are of all men
the least likely to sell on falling market
Such holders will be hard to persuade that
the triumph of the Government in the field
and the manifestly impending return to-
ward gold basis should depreciate the
credit of the Government, as represented
by the prices of its bonds. On the con-
trary, the real effect was to bring out per-
manent investors, who instantly began to
pick up the bonds ut what they considered
favorable rates The price rallied at once,
has since remained steady amid ell the
violent fluctuations of the market, and has
thus exhibited in the strongest light the
absolute confidence of the people in the
financial as well as the military security of
the Nation. AGArE.

sherman's Entry into ao1dsbOro,.

ShermRn's Entry into GOIdsboro'.
A correspondent of the New York Tri-
6une writes:
Goldsboro' is at present an important
point. On Wednesday Msjor Gen. Sher-
man entered the town in person. He was
welcomely received by booming of cannon,
playing of bands, and other demonstrations
ofjoy. He "put up" at the Headquarters
of General Schofeld. On Thursdav the
Army OF the Ohio was reviewed bv Gen.
Sherman. Their appearance, although not
quite as snowy as upon other like occasions.
was equally creditableto themselves, The
day was quite unpleasant. Sherman was
glad once more to see that proud old army.
He knows their worth and appreciates the
skill of their commander. Yesterday the
part of Sherman's army now in .Goldsboro'
was reviewed, and, although many of the
men were half clad, some without a
hat, another minus a shoe, and vet a third
withoutcoat of any kind, they looked like
the tried veterans of q score of hard foupbt
battles. Sherman in speaking of his i9et
campaign, said: tive whipped johnston
and can do it again" His army, or that
part of it which entered Goldsboro', pre-.
scented most comical appearance. Carts
with half dozen mules tandem attached.
loaded with turkeys, geese and chickens,
who were "giVing vent to their feelings'
with gusto. Single soldiers on mules,
some With a sheep, others with hogs be.
tore and behind them! The boys have rich
iiVlng on the country. and nave learned all
the mysteries of foraging.
The army will soon be .reorpanized
equipped and then ready for the grand
campaign of the war. For the present vonr
readers must be content to conf eciure what
that,Will be, Yeti let them look forward with
confidence, and be- doubly assured that
where Sherman and, Schofeid lead victory
will surely be ours. ar,Y 49,
