Death From Hay Seed.

The penalty of getting hay seedin ones
hair must be serious in some parts OF
Australia. There are districts in that
country where the sheep are much dis
hessed and often actually destroyed by
the seeds of certain grasses called d" File
chilla.n which, having once fallen upon
or been caught by the wool, quickly
work their way through the skins OF the
animals into their flesh. The ripe seeds
of these grasses are armed with recurved
barbules whose points, being sharp as
needles, easily penetrate the skin, every
movement of the animal tending to drive
the seed deeper and deeper into the
flesh. The mutton exposed for sale IN
the butchers shops is sometimes so full
of these grass seeds that it eXciteS the
att nntion of strangers. One newly az
rived immigrant describes fOre-quarter
ofmutton rs resembling a ham Just taken
from the bag of chaf in which 1t had
been brought from England. On close
examination it appeared that many OF
the seeds had still their long, thin tails
drawn through the flesh, like threads in
terlacing each other in every direction.
He goes on to say that, on questioning
the butcher, he was told that they rarely
killed a sheep that was not more or less
punctured in this way. 1t stands to
reasons that butchers meat, such as this,
must need to be thoroughly cooked be
fore eating. From other accounts it ap-
pears that the seeds are not infrequently
found actually piercing the heart, liver
and kidneys of sheep that have died
from the effects of their movements. One
writer SAYS that he has found 1.-The in
ternal organs so crowded with the seeds
that they felt like bag of needles, II
squeezed in the hand" On some
runs where these grasses are special
" abundant, the annual loss of sheep is
a very serious matter. 1t has even been
asserted that the northern part of Queens
land is unfit for sheep because OF the
great abundance of the noXious grasses.

4 Pleasant Renaissance OF the Late
War.


(Tenn.) american, there was received
at the Nashville Post-oifice letter from
Chardon, Ohio, with the following COM
plicated address: ITO the Sergt.-MaiOr
of the Rock CITY Guards, c. 5. A, or to
any other Confed. who was at the battle
of KeneSaw Mountain, June %, 1864,
Nashville. Tenn The letter was re-
ferred to General Wheless, who, remem-
boring that the ior spoken
of was none other than Mr.. James A.
Jennings, turned the epistle over to him
as the proper recipient. Within was
this:
CHARDoN. OHIO, March Is, 1850.
To the Scrgeant-Major Of the Rock City
Guards, c. : A., or to any other member OF
the regiment who was at the battle OF hene-
saw Mountain, June p, 1854: ! should like To
know something of You. loI treated me well
while | was a prisoner with you, in the field
that day (27th of June,) and | have ever since
felt a friendly feeling for you. | am the boy
with the cockcd-hat and white acorn, who fell
inside your works that warm morning IN June.
You fought like iends that day, and made
4 hot place for us to come through, but 1t al
WAYS seemed to me that if we could have held
on 4 little longer the fortunes of the day might
have been changed. Please write to me and
let me know what has become of the boys, and
oblige, yours respectfully,

Mr.. Jennings remembers the incident
perfectly, and says he was Sergeant
Major at the time mentioned. During
the thickest of a most terrible onslaught,
in which the COnfederates, distributed
in a semicircular fort or breaStworks,
were being charged by five advancing
columns, the young boy, then only about
seventeen years of age, wearing the
cooked hat and acorn insignia Of his
Division, fell badly wounded just within
the Confederate line. He called for
water, and Major Jennings, without an
instant's hesitancy, and at the risk of
! his life, sprang to the side of the wound
ed boy. He raised his canteen to the
parched lips, and as he did so bullet
! from the Federal lines grazed Major
Jennings breast and buried itself in the
neck of the already wounded boy. He
| fell. eXclaiming, This is what | get for
! fighting for the United States flag. "
| Major Jennings Immediately had his
prisoner sent to the rear, and there Wis
tied him after the battle was over, and
later in the war, at Macon, Ga, furnish
ed him with some delicacies. The brave,
boyish soldier was filed with gratitude,
and, giving his name and the address OF
his parents to Major Jennings, told him
if he (Jennings) should ever be taken
prisoner to let his friends know and they
would see that he wanted for nothing.
Afterward, Major Jennings was captured
and sent to Camp Douglas. He thought
of his friend the Federal soldier
but had lost his address, and
in the innumerable things that fill 8
soldiers mind, had forgotten the name
1t is only now that the letter brings for
chilly back the name of BOstwick. In
