time when every available man, black
and white, was needed at the front"
Gen. Lee Endorsed it on the 9th, and
it was returned to Adjutant Newman
too late to be made of.anyiservice. On the
I'd of April, a week later, the Adjutant
was captured at Fort Gregg. near
Petersburg, having this document and
other important official papers in his
possession. OF the 265 gallant Con-
federates who manned that ill-starred
fort on the morning of that day but
thirty-four survivors came out OF the
bloody contest for its defense.
Major Newman says he saved his
official papers by hiding them in the
lining of his hat, where they safely lay
hid from detection during his three
months captivity on Johnson's Island,
in Lake Erie. to which point the pris-
oners were taken. This document was
drawn up very soon after the Confede-
rate Congress had passed an act auth
orizing the utilizing of negroes for
military purposes. Step by step it
passed from the regiment to General
Lee, at each step promptly receiving
the endorsement of the brigade, divi-
sion or corps commander General
Lee, however, not only "commends
the spirit displayed by the regiment
in setting the ball in motion, but sug-
gests, officially, how the colored troops
should be organized and assigned to
duty. Gen. G. NJ. Wilcox and Gen.
Harry Heth had approved the docu-
ment before Gen. Lees Endorsement
was made, yet, report says, there would
have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.
Other regiments beside this one fav-
ored the utilizing of negroes for mill
tary purposes" but to Adjutant New
man and the Forty-ninth Georgia regi-
ment was due the credit of promptly
putting into operation the action of the
Confed crate Congress on this subject,
although too late to reach final con-
summation before the surrender, which
occurred within fortnight after the
document was approved by Gen. Lee.

SWISS GUIpEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is a guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
lonely village. where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground was
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind it there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life-the wild rush
of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall of rocks or earth threatening to
crush or overwhelm him. But it is war
and not peace that makes heroes, and
so all these dangers of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be genuine
son of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for 1t
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some Deighboring town
and learned the secret of the confec-
toner art, for the Swiss are skillful in
the preparation of sweets and pastry.
and can make delicate cup of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks. nourished
only by the coarest fare. His ambition
is to go wherever the channels can make
its way, and in so doing he forms su-
preme contempt for the greatest dan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or rugged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty Of the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.

Educating Young Horses.

Rev. w. H. II. Murray, gives, in the
Golden Rule, the following directions
for educating, or as it used to be called,
"breaking in'' young horses:
If you have colt to teach, and have
the habit of speaking sharply and loud
ly correct yourself of it at once. Colts are
timid. Ii gh-spirited things, if they are
worth anything; and he who manages
them should be of quiet habits, and
have low, pleasant-toned voice. The
trainer that yells, stands in the same
category rs the driver in the public
race who screams and whoops like q
Comanche Indian when coming down
the home stretch the one should be
banished from the track, and the other
turned out of the gentleman's stables.
Our method of educating colt to the
harness and wagon is to educate him
singly, by himself; and this education
should begin very early. When the
colt is twelve or fourteen months old
begin to put the harness on him. In few
weeks he is accustomed to it and ready
for the shafts. But in doing this, do
not be in ahurry. Give the youngsters
time to get thoroughly acquainted with
every strap and buckle, rs it We're. Let
him see everything and smell every
thing. The senses of sight, smell and
touch are the great avenues of knowl-
edge to the horse, especially the last
two. The ear and eye give the alarm.
These two organs stand. as it were, on
picket for the animals safety. But if
your horse is frightened at anything,
let him smell and touch it, and he will
fear no longer. If your colt is afraid
of the harness as it comes rustling out
of the harness room, let him touch it
with his nose, and smell of il a few
times and Ne will soon understand that
it will not hurt him. If he is inclined
to kick or Jump, if the preaching band
or any strap hits his hams or legs, by
gently rubbing them against the sensi
tive places he will soon become indif-
ferent to them. BY the time the colt
is two years of age, or even less, he
should be educated to go between
shafts, either forward or backward, and
be thoroughly familiar with the harness
and vehicle, and ordinary road service.
SANITARY VALUE OF TREEs.-The
value of trees, in sanitary point of
view, in large and overcrowded cities,
can scarcely be over-estimated. Apart
from the sense of relief and GOODNESS
which they impart, their inflence as
purifiers of the atmosphere is almost
Incredible. 1t has been calculated that
good-sized elm, plane or line tree
will produce 700, 900 leaves, having a
united area of 200, 900 square feet. Com
petent authority shows that not only do
the leaves absorb deleterious gases, but
they exhale oxygen. They must. there
fore, be of immense benefit in over
crowded and unhealthy districts. When
to this it is added that trees modify.

Respectfully returned. The COM
manding General commends the spirit
displayed by this regiment. The plan
of organization which has been regarded
most favorably proposes consolida-

as they now exist into six companies.
and that the regimental organization be
maintained by attaching to the six thus
formed four companies Of colored

Something Worth Knowing.

Every little while, writes correspond
ent we read in the papers of some one who
has stuck a rusty nail in his foot, or knees,
or hand, or some other portion af his per-
son, and that lock jaw has resulted there
from, of which the patient died. If every
person in the world was aware of the per-
feet remedy for all such wounds, and would
supply it, then all such repouts must cease.
But although we can give the remedy, we
cannot enforce its application. Some will
not employ it because they think it too
simple; others will have no faith in it when
they read it; while others often think such
a wound of small account, and not worth
fussing over, until it is too late to do any
good. Yet all such wounds can be healed
without the fatal consequences which fol
low them. The remedy is simple, almost
always on hand, and can be applied by any
one, and what is better, it is infallible. 1t
is simple to smoke the wound, or any
bruise or wound that is inaamed, with
burning wool or wooden cloth. Twenty
minutes in the smoke of wool will take the
pain out of the worst wound, and repeated
once or twice it will allay the worst case of
inflammation arising from wound we ever
saw. People may sneer at the cold remedy
as much as they please, but when they are
afflicted, just let them try it. 1t has saved
many lives and much pain, and is worthy
of being printed in letters of gold and put
in every home.

Report of the Pennsylvania State
Miller association.

The millers of Pennsylvania have been
talking to the farmers about the best kind
of wheat to SOW. The Millers are anx-
ious to induce the farmers TO plant the
kind of wheat which makes the most de-
siraole grades of -four. In their report
they speak as follows OF
FULTz AND CLAwsoN WHEAT:
The Fultz wheat now being introduced
into this section, has little or no gluten in
it. 1t is largely grown in the Cumberland
Valley, Pennsylvania, and has been ruin
GUS to the -four trade of the millers. The
| Clawson wheat is also being introduced
here, and is very popular with the farmers
on account of the prolific yield, but If, like
the Fultz, is almost, if not entirely destl-
tute of gluten. The -four lacks strength
and will therefore make but small yield
of bread, and it is universally condemned
| by good bakers, not only on that account
| but because it will not make large sized
loaf in proportion to its weight. No mil
ler makeing high grade of flour, dares tc
buy il at any price. A choice grade o
-four cannot be made of either Fultz oil
Clawson wheat. This is the universal testi
mony of all who have tested them. Farmers
should avoid sowing then. A word in sea
son to the wise is sufficient The Pennsyl
vania State Miller's Assnciation at theil
semi-annual meeting in Lancaster, Penn
sylvania, January, 14th.
Resolved, This society will discourage thu
growth of Fultz and Clawson wheat. Fo
milling purposes they are not desirable
and have been the cause of much OF thu
complaint of -four. We suggest Lancaster
Old Mediterranean, Boughton, Shoemaker
Deal, Wick and Conada White be grown il

mode Of writing, as it would be aImos.
impossible for one to write to go many.
After bidding friends and relatives Of
Somerset adieu and taking the north bound
train ON the B. & r. r. as far as Newark
arriving there about noon and having al.
most an hour to wait for our next train, We
concluded to take lunch which we did

the Pan Handle route which was enjoyed
as far as Columbus where we had to change
into another car, but still keeping the

we began to realize how near we were Out

near the line and the state of Indiana was
invisible. The train was crowded with en-
igrants all going in the same direction, to
seek western home.
Now the hour had come that one would
tesl sleepy and wish to enjoy nights
rest by lying down on seat, but this was
impossible as each seat was filed. On ar
irving at Indianapolis we were again rout.

cars, onto the Vondalia route, which We
did in safety but being very disagressbls
