To THE EDITOR: have watched the course
Of TIE TRIBUNE with no small degree Of utter
est, and I ain constrained 10 say that its bold
and fearless stand in defense Of soldiers rights
is calculated to elicit their plaudits The arti-
peal, which yon published the other day, was
touching enough to have melted heart of
stone-even that Of Commissioner Dudley At
the time Of his appointment it was believed
that al least there was at the head of the Bu-
rcau a trae friend of the soldier who would
listen to his appeals and alleviate his distress
but the hope has proved delusive. But, with
an administration thoroughly in sympathy
with cur veterans we shall look next year for
better things.-W. 7. GROVE Little Rock,

Another horse of which General Sheridan
was very fond was a large gray PAGER, which
formerly belonged to General Breckenridge's
adjutant-general, and was captured in the bat
tie of Missionary Ridge He rode the PAGER in
long marches, as he was rapid walker and an
easy riding animal 1t was capable of harder
service than any of the other horses, and carried
the general as easily as if he had been of q
feathers weight.
This horse was burned up in the Chicago fire.
He had been loaned to a friend and was in the
stable of Colonel Wright on the North Side on
the night of the 9th of October, 1871. All of
Wright's horses were burned, and the old gray
among them.
When the general took the field in Missouri
he bought a chestnut gelding. which he rode
exclusively in that State, and when he was
ordered to join Grants army in Tennessee he
bought a beautiful black mare at Louisville
while en- route. The mare was the most beau
tiful animal he ever had, but was vicious and
troublesome about camp. He rode her during
all the Western campaigns, but while on his
way to join the army in Virginia he left her
and the chestnut at his mothers home in
Somerset Ohio. There she was used for breed
ing purposes, and his mother now owns one of
her colts, but the mare got so vicious in her old
age that she had to be disposed of, and was sold
to an Ohio horseman.
During the entire war General Sheridan
never wore but one sword and he wears the
same one yet on all occasions of display. 1t is
light dragon saber, and one of cargo that was
shipped from Spain to Charleston for the use of
Confederate officers.
The vessel was captured in Charleston Harbor
by the blockade and the swords were dis
tributed among the various arsenals of the
North, at which they were sold to Union Off
GERS. The one which Sheridan wears was sent
to the armory at st. Louis and was purchased
originally by the adjutaut of the Cd Michigan
cavalry, who wore it awhile and then presented
it to Sheridan.
The original scabbard was broken by having
a horse fall upon it, and new one was found
to fit the blade.
The general has number of presentation
swords which have been given him from time
to time Some of them are very valuable, and
one which was presented by the Army of the
Cumberland is mounted with gold and dia-
monds, but it is too fancy for the generals
taste, and nothing would induce him TO wear it.

That three were lying where two had lain;
And tie old mans iTenuious, palsied arm

PHYLLoxERA.

No very serious damage to the grape crop in
this country has so far resulted from the pres
ence of the grape-root louise, but it is on hand
more or less in most every vineyard, and only
waits upon some climatic or other injury,
which would weaken the vitality of the plant,
when the insect would speedily gain an as
tendency. This insect seems to battle culti-
yators, for although the French government
offers prize of 100000 francs fer a means of
destruction no one has yet received the reward.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

Many growers Of strawberries suffer frcm

should not be allowed to produce more than

land without change of crop. The best fruits
and the most profitable crops are secured by
growers who only take one crop from their

the.weather proves dry and hot during the
ripening of the crop. The old beds viii sue

THE SOCIALIST CATECHISM
4 Review Of J. L. Joynes' Excellent
6. Little Comprehensive Propaganda
Document.

For The Enquirer.
This production is worth reviewing for
variety of reasons chief among which
is that, as it is published at a cheap price
and written in clear legible style, it is
likely,to attain, and deserves to attain,
large circulation among the labor class.
Of course it will not have many readers
among rich folks as they scorn every
publication which is either cheap or
sensible.
This is really little manual of polit-
ical ecc nomy for the use Of the proleta-
riat and it contains more useful. appro-
pirate, truthful information than all the
standard economists put together. 1t is
not entirely free from economical blum
ders, which is very probably the reason
why it is called a catechism. But as
these blunders are too few to damage the
pamphlet,apd as they are just many
enough to raise discussion and stimulate
interest, and also as they afford a
splendid pretext for making this a criti-
cism instead of mere eulogium, | am
not sorry that this catechism. like all
others, is not infallible.
Th. catechism is divided into chapters,
but unfortunately the chapters are not
subdiyided INTO verses in the good old

There are sixty log houses. and more

people in the pl ace than can be com

difficulty was experienced IN clearing
trails, parties on some of the routes
being obi ged to shovel their way
through twenty feet of snow. One
