A BOY IN BLUE ON HAYES.
AN UGLY STORY RETnLD Bv ONE OF HIS
SOLDIERS.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 80. 1876.

b'hbiEho'
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 80. 1876.
To the Editor Cincinnati Enquirer:
SIR: | think that so far from
this S40O bdsiness being a sIander
on Gov. Hayes, that it is very
fa- short of the full amount Of his
profits in that transaction. We
started from Columbus with about
two hundred recruits for Hayes
Brigade, every one of whom re-
ceived from $500 to $500 bounty.
This money was all in the hards
of the officer having US in charge
on the way, and was handed to.
Gen. Hayes on our arrival at the
brigade headquarters. OF the 200
men nearly one, half of them de-
serted on the way, leaving tn ;ir
money in the officers hsnds They
were professional bounty jumpers,
and feared the same fate as Hall,
the desertcr. When they enlisted
they did not know the money
would be taken from them at Gu
Iumbus, and they intended to de
sert at the first opportunity, w4h-
out going to the frcut. When
we were crossing the Allegheny
Mountains on the Pennsylvania
Railroad they deserted. Now,
what became Of oil this money ?
Mt less than seventy-6ye men, de-
Sertcd, leaving their money in the
officers hand This money was
handed over to Hayes. 2 " hat did
he do with it? remember that
the boys at the time all believed it
was divided among the officers at
the brigade headquarters, Hayes,
Of course, getting the lioa's share.
We never heard of its being hand
ed over to the Government or ex
pended for any public purpose.
If it was, of course Hayes has re@
ceipts FOR it | think tnerc can
be no doubt but that Hayes and
his officers pocketed it.

TINE TO CUT TIMBER.

IF oak; hickory or chestnut tim>
ber be felled in August, in the
second running of the sap, and
barked, quite large tree will
season perfectly, and even the
twigs will remain sound for years !;
whereas that cut in winter and re-
manning ill next fab (as thick as
your wrist9, will be completely
sap rotten, and VIII be almost un
fit for any purpose. ! he body of
the oak split into rails will not last
more than ten or twelve years.
Chestnut will last longer, but no
comparison to that cnt in August.
Hickory cut in the eighth month
is not subj oct to be worm+eaten,
and will last a lorg time for fenc~
ing. When | began fencing in
1902, it was the practice to cut
timber for post fencing in the
winter. Winter oak posts and
black oak rails, cat at that time, |
found did not last morc than ten
or twelve years. In 1903 | began
cutting fence timber in the eighth
month Many of the oak rails
cut that year are yet sound, as
we'll as most of those formed of
chestnut. If the bark be not
taken off this month, however, it
will pee! off itself thu second or
third year and leave the sap per'
fectly sound. The tops Of the
trees are also more valuable for
fuel then than when cut in the
winter or spring. l advise young
formers to try the experiment for
themselves, ARd If post fences do
not last twice ss long, | forfeit all
my experience as worthless. - Men

SLEEPY TASTE IN MUTToy

SLEEPY TASTE IN MUTTOI.
The impression is general, even
among experienced sheep rdisers,
that the sheep taste found in mnt'
ton is due TO the contact of the
wool to the meat. This is a mis-
take which has created much prcis
udlce against mutton as an article
OF food. The tr e cause Of this
taste or odor is in the delay be.
fore disemNoweling the eqrsasa al-
ter killing. The intestines should
be removed at the earliest possible
moment after life is extinct, and
before the pelt is removed. If the
lntes;lnes arc allowed to remain
until the pelt is removed, tho
gasses emitted from them will be
's'sscminated throaghs the CASH
and produces the oIjecliona5lo
taste and odor. IF proper etleoi
ton is paid to butcbering we'll,
fatted sheep there vii be nothing
OF this odor or taste to offend
the most fastidions appetite.
Properly served. lamb or lnntton
on the table furnishes mo t whole-
some and nutritious food. which
should largely supplant the gross
hog meat consumed in such guam
titles, at seasons too when cholera
and other diseases are prevalent
