RATTLE OLE GALVESTON.

To-day Is The eleventh anniversary
oil the battle Of Galveston, fought jan
uary /, 1868. The Federal army had
lorsome time occupied the place, and
tlAdin the harbor the Harriet Lane
land other war vessels.
General Magruder commanding the
Confederate forces, made q simultane-
Gus attack BY land and water at day
light. He had improvised n naval
force by fortiyihgcoinmon steamboats,
with cotton bales and manning them
with dismounted Texas cavalry.
The Federals were completely sur
prlsed, but fought CALAMITY till over
powered. Captain Wainwright and
Lieutenant Lea, of the Harriet Lane,
both gallant officers and heightened
gentlemen, were killed. The Federal
loss was heavy, and the Confeder-
ate victory complete; but won by
the fall of such noble enemies
rs to send q thrill of sympathy
through every victorious breast. Major
A. NJ. Lea, Of the Confederate army,
ON boarding the Harriet Lane, behed
the bleeding corpse Of his heroic and
loved son, who had fallen on the OPP
posite side, having, as a naval officer,
adhered to the flag of the United
States.
Every honor was paid to the two
deceased officers. They were buried
with Masonic and military honors,
and the solemn rites of Christian
burial were performed.
Perhaps no battle of the war was
followed by fuller abnegation of all
unkindness between the opposing ele-
ments, nor more sympathy manifested
at the interment of fallen foes. This
is now pleasant reflection to all
Texans, the more so as SO few engage
ments occurred on Texas soil.
The splendid honors paid to our peer
less Colonel William P. Rogers, at Cor
inth in 1862, by General Rosencranz,
We're of the same chivalrous character.

A large number papers have also

Steer calves designed for oxen should
Re early trained to the yoke and all the
evelutions Of oxship. The breaking Of
oxen is easiest when they are young, and
when thoroughly trained then they never
forget it. Any one who has tried ~ break
wild, unframed steers, two or three years
old, knows the difficulties and also the
dangers Of such undertakings. Yokes
should be provided for the calves, and the
boys be encouraged TO train them. Boys
want no better fun than this. But they
should be cautioned not to abuse the calves
nor to learn them bad tricks. Show them
how to train them, and they will not need

ASHES AS Foop FOR CArTLE.-A cor
respondent of the Live Stock Journal
found his cattle one spring affected with
the habit OF eating wood, chewing bones.
etc. They became thin In flesh, refused to
eat hay, and presented sickly appear
ance. He had AN impression that their
food lacked the constituents for making
bone; and his neighbors used bone-meal.
without noticing any good results what
ever. At last he put about four bushels
OF leached ashes in his barnyard and threw
TO them about shovelful each day. They
all ate with evident relish. After turning
them out to pasture, he put one peck of
dry ashes per week on the ground In the
pastsre. They ate all up and gnawed of
the grass where it had been lying. The
cattle began t. improve, gaining flesh and
looking better than they had done for
several years. He says this morbid APP
pearance was unnoticed years ago, from
the fact that the ground was new and ashy
from the burning OF the woods and land
clearings. La,terly he gives one quart of
ashes mixed with the same quantity Of sal.
TO twelve head of cattle about once a
week.
