THE REBEL BOND SCARE.
Two Southern Senators Who Look Upon the
British Boom as Farce.
From the New York Herald.

'All this talk about the redemption of
confederate bonds is so utterly puerile, -
said Senator Pugh, of Alabama, yester-
day, that ii is really waste of time to
talk about it. 1t is perfectly ridiculous
that such an idea should be entertained
for a moment, and / cannot imagine how
any sensible person can permit himself
to discuss the question, to say nothing of
putting money into the thing with the
expectation of getting it back The
whole thing is so absurd to my mind that
it would be folly for me to 60 over the
alleged points in law that are made by
the people who are said to be pushing the
matter.
why" said Senator George, of
Mississippi, laughing, the matter don't
excite any attention at all in the South
except that we are a little amused that
there should be fools enough in the world
who trade in the thing to be of enough
consequence to get themselves into print
Everybody in the South regards the bond
question as dead The payment of The
bonds is, as is well known, prohibited
by the constitution. Everybody al
the time regarded them as q

Mrs. Anna Eva Fay, the great
so-called spiritualistic performer gave
an exhibition to about 500 or 800
Duluth suckers" as the Herald
calls them, last Sunday evening. The
Herald gives the performers and per-
formance nearly column Of ''eNpose"
and winds up IFS article in this wise:
almost without exception, those
who saw Anna Eva Fay, without dis
respect to her, pronounce her hum
hug. But the American people are
proverhially fond of humbugs and
never fail to embrace every opportun-
ity to patronize them If they were
willing to not only give credit to peo-
pie and things of real merit but to
give them liberal patronage there
would be fewer such swindles, as that
of last night, perpetrated. However
the people are always willing to pay
well for being taken in and there is
nothing for which there is a demand
which is not readily supplied"

Secretary Teller renders most
important decision in land case,
which reverses the decision of the land
commissioner upon homestead near
Worthington, Mimi, and gives the
title to the land to the Southern Min
nesota road. The case was that of the
said railway company against August
us kaufman The homes stead was first
taken by J. A. Hovey in February
1867, but in May 1872 his entry was
cancelled. Kaufman settled upon it in
October 1867 and held it until now.
The decision gives the land to the
company on the ground that the state
had awarded it to the company, the
land coming within the ten-mile limit
of the grant of July 1, 1866. The de
eislon affects millions of acres Of other
lands.-Exchange.

An Incident of Army Life.

The following incident ofarmy life has
never before been printed, and good
feed was by the perverseness of mule
given the Johnnies. 1t happened in this
way: A New York regiment, one ofthe
first to cross the Rappahannock at the
so-called Franklin's crossing, early in
the morning of the day which opened
the fight at Fredericksburg under Gen
elal Burnside, was sent out as skirmish-
ers, the color company being held inre-
serves as the balance of the regiment de-
ployed. On the advance of the skir-
mishers the reserve followed at "a proper
distance in the rear until the line finally
halted to await the rising of a dense fog.
The reserve company halted behind q
skirmishers, and two members of the
company, noted as good foragers, quiet
ly slipped round the barn to investigate.
Seeing house near by they started at a
quick pace for it, hoping to find some-
thing to eat, but as far as the house was
concerned they were doomed to disap
pointment, but espying the smoke house
they struck out for that, and here they
found, cut up and nicely salted, several
porkers, which, in the hurry Of the in
mates to get into more secure place,
had been forgotten when removing their
other effects. Generous pieces of the
tempting pork were cat Off and packed
into the harversacks Of the foragers, who
then returned to the company, and
there related the "find." The captain
iness, had in the meantime confiscated
mule which he had found in the barn,
and proposed that the balance of the
pork should be loaded on to the mule
for the future use of the company, who
entered into the plan fully. Some
large sacks were found, into which the
remainder of the meat was put and
then securely tied on the mules back
and the mule given in charge Of a mem
Der of the company. By this
time the mist had risen and it was dis
covered that tine right of the line need
ed to be extended, and the reserve COM
pany was ordered to fill the gap, and
marching out from behind the barn pro-
cecded to carry out the order, the mule
and attendant being left behind. The
position had hardly been gained when
the rebels commenced shelling the barn,
no doubt thinking that other troops
were concealed there. AS the first shell
struck the barn the mule, demure
enough before now, showed decided
signs of animation, and when a second
shell broke through the barn he broke
away from his whilom keeper and on a
keen run made for the right of the skir-
mish line, and, without so much as "by
your leave, sirs," dashed through the
Union line and into the confede rate
lines, much to the astonishment of the
Johnnies, who, although surprised by
the appearance of the mule, set up q
cheer that added much to the discomfi-
ture of those who had so carefully
packed the mule, with a firm belief of
enjoying good dinner at confederate
expense.
