In the procession at Nashville yes
terday, the Banner says, Colonel Jack
Moore, Of Hickman county, one of the
marshals, rode old Chickamauga, a
noted war horse, presented by Gen.
Wheeler to his present owner at the
battle of ChiCkamauSa. This old
horse is now thirty three years of age,
but still in most excellent condition,
although wounded severely on several
occasions during the war. This was a
notable event in the procession. A
more gallant man than Jack Moore
never went forth to battle, and it was
fitting for him to be sstride Of this
famous old war horse.

s'May I Kiss That Babv?ss

To soldier, far away from home :,
there is do moro touching sight than
that ola baby in its mothers arms.
While on their way to Gettysburg, our
troops were marching by night through
a village, over the gateways hung lighted
lanterns, while young girls shed tears,
as they watched the brothers of other
women march on to possible death. A
scene of the march is thus described by
the author of "Bullet and She'll"
stopping for moment at the gate of q
dwelling, l noticed a young mother
leaning over a chubby child in her
arms. Above the woman's head swung
a couple Of stable lanterns, their light
falling full upon her face. The child
was Growing with delight at the strange
pageant, as it watched the armed host
pass on.
II beg your pardon, ma'am," said Jim
Manners, one of my men, as he dropped
the butt of his musket on the ground, and
peered wistfully into the faces of the
mother and her child.
81 beg pardon, but may l kiss that baby
ofyours? I've got one just like him at
home; at least he was when last saw
hi:D, two years ago."
The mother, a sympathetic tear roll
ing down her blooming cheek, silently
held out the child. Jim pressed his face
to its innocent, smiling lips for moment,
and then walked on, saying
God bless you, ma am, Tor that!"
Poor Jim Manners! He never saw
his boy again in this life. A bullet laid
him low the next day, as We made our
first charge.

Prospects for Hogs,

Farmers may rely on good prices for
fat hogs for at least eighteen months
more. The present amount Of slaugh-
tered hogs show large shortage, which
is having its effects on prices. Nor will
this be made up by the spring supplies.
There has been short crop of corn in
nearly all the hog producing portions of
the northwest for two successive years.
Nearly half of all the farmers have
bought or will have to buy corn, which
necessarily operates largely to reduce
the hog crop. But there is another &C.
rious back set to the number of hogs,

ly hard on hogs and especially,
on pigs. It has been almost impossible
to save pigs which were three months

which they never recover. Many die
soon, and the balance linger with q con-
sumptive cough, which so far as the
owner is concerned, better be dead. Our
private Information is that. the past win
ter has been very fatal to pigs And the
current incoming crop has been SO thor
oughly swept away that there is scarcely
a yestige. left. Consequently, as this
cold and deep SHOWS have covered near
~ all OF the hog regions those who have
hogs, or those who are able
now to begin the breeding of pigs, will
have strong assurance that it will pay.

heat is evolved, with neither lllumina-

that air is fuel and so treat it, we would

was the most popular. 1t was the Same
dance under another name as the guide
waltz, or redowa glissade. 1t was not
vulgar dance in itself, but could be made
SO by vulgar people. This. he said, was
true of every other dance. In Vienna
the galop led to such extremes that it
was forbidden by law. Then quick
polka was introduced, which is popular
at balls, but not at private parties. The
redowa was the most p pular waltz move
ment, as it was the most graceful of any
dance. Combined with the glissades It
formed the Knickcrbocker. 1t was true
that the Knickerbocker was carried to
extremes by vulgar persons, but never
by respectable people.

Hardy Russian Fruits.

Prof. J. L. Budd, Of the State Agricul-
tural college at Ames, Iowa, and one Of
the successful horticulturistsi in the coun-
try, has been several years experiment
ing with Russian frui: for the purpose of
securing more hardy varieties for the
prairie states. Last year he went to Rus
STA and studied the fruit on their native
soil. He gives notice that he has about
10000 apple trees for the dist ribution
uext spring to those who wish to secure
harder varieties than they now have.
The scions come from interior Russia,
and the trees are now two and three
years old. This distribution is not for
speculation, as the college farm is wholly
devoted to experimental work. Prof
Budd says the price will be 10 cents
each for trees. If 100 are de-
sired, then he will make
the selection Of the varieties, pack and
deliver at the express Office for $lO.25,
which will only cover the cost. 1t will
be unnecessary to say to those who
know Prof. Budd, that this is splendid
opportunity for f rmers in the northern
portion Of the state to secure fine col
lection of fruit, and true to name. The
supply is not large, as there is limited
space on the college farm to be devoted.
to apple scions. It is beginning, how
ever, as good as that which was made by
the veteran apple grower, James Smith,
of this country, who established the fact
that apples could lie grown in Iowa equal
to any grown in the United States. But
he adapted his varieties to this locality.
