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:anylservice. On the
I'd of April, 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. M. 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 fay
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 n final con-
summation before the surrender, which
occurred within fortnight after the
document was approved by Gen: Lee.

SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is 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 it
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some peighboring town
and learned the secret Of the confec-
toners art, for the Swiss arc 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 chamois 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. HI 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
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 n 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 a 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, as it were. 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 it few
times and he 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 VI tASco, al u SaHitNy Poiut Vi
view, in large and overcrowded cities,
can scarcely be over-estimated. Apart
from the sense of relief and GOODNESS
which they impart, their inhence as
purifiers of the atmosphere is almost
Incredible. 1t has been calculated that
a good.sized elm, plane or line tree
will produce 100000 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
temperature, promoting GOODNESS in
summer and warmth in winter, also,
that they purify the soil below as well
as tho atmosphere above, We have q
very powerful sanitary. argument for
tree planting.-LondoE Medical Exam
