A Comrades "reminiscences of the Days When he
Was Poor and in Prison.
To THE EDITOR: l wish to bear testimony
to the truth of some remarks in your issue of
the 9th ult. l refer to the article about Corp.
Mack, of Co. G, 9TH Ohio. When We were pris-
oners at New Orleans in 1861 and 1862 the
Corporal floored US all by propounding to us
this tremendous conundrum: "Why is my en-
lstmcnt like st. PauPs religion ?" And when
we all gave it up he took our breath away by
answering, Because it has brought me stripes
and Imprisonment"
The reason of his success in the newspaper
business is, that even while prisoner he lived
on newspaper diet. The rebs were very par
ticular in excluding newspapers from the Parish
Prison, where we were confined; but some of
the prisoners in the Criminal Division would
occasionally push one through the ventilator
to us, and when, on one occasion, paper was
traced to his cell and the inmates were all
locked in, preparatory to a search, the boys tore
it into 16 pieces, and each one of the inmates
took piece and ate it up like little men.
What band of brothers the prisoners Of New
Orleans became. They were mostly from Bull
Run, with scattered detachments from other
actions. Some of the 69th n. Y, 5th and 9Th
Mass, and 9TH Ohio boys are among the regiments
that recur to me now. The theme that occu
pied our attention was what we would have to
eat when we got home and this was varied by
the boys of the 9TH Ohio wondering why the
picked men of nine companies of our regiment
were sent to drive Floyd, with 1900 men, out
of his intrenched camp on the west side of the
Gauley River. Some blamed Gen. Cox, and
some Col. Tyler, and / don't know any other
explanation to-day, only that some one had
blundered. Cox and Tyler each won the
double stars before the end of the war, but
were as green as any of us in 81. But 1 am
not yet grandsre, and will not fight the
whole war over again yet.-HENRY HOWARD,
Co. c, 7th Ohio.

the country, where his advice and counsel
had been avaied Of and appreciated, volun-
teered their enthusiastic and unanimous sup
port. In short, he is n representative agricul
turst and is well qualified to fill the office in
the interest Of tho grain producer, the stock
man, the wool grower, the dairyman, the hor-
ticulturist, the sugar producer, and of every
interest included under the general head of
agriculture.
Perhaps nothing better illustrates the charac-
ter of the man than his canvass for the Commis
sionership. His coolness and sagacity far out
stripped that of his most tardent supporters in
Washington. While dozens of candidates were
at the Capital warming for the fray" Gov.
Colman was quietly writing editorials on agri-
cultural subjects at home. At the hight of the
contest he arrived in the morning of one day
and on the same evening received the assurance
of his successful candidacy.
The same tact aud management, together
with the vast and varied experience of the new
Commissioner, is already beginning to tell in his
Department. Abuses are being corrected, and
bureaus organized to foster and promote indus
tries which the Department has never espe
cially recognized. Careful scrutiny is given
to every detail of his interesting and important
Office. He has Just held the first successful con-
vention of Agricultural Colleges and Expert
ment Stations that has yet assembled, in order
to bring about concert of action and unity of
purpose between these important institutions.
Commissioner Colmans long experience will
enable him to come to the rescue of the Seed
Division of his Department-probabIy the most
popular of any of his bureaus-and a wise and
iudicious distribution of seeds in climates to
which they are adapted is assured, and it is safe
to predict that, while Michigan and Maine will
now lose their regular quota of cotton seed and
banana cuttings, all sections will receive fresh
and pure seed free from insects, etc. at least
nearly so as rigid scrutiny can insure. There
is every evidence that in his administration
Gov. Colman will secure the hearty and un-
qualified support of the agricuturists of Amer
lea, as he has already received that of its agri
cultural press.

THE DIVISION OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY
was established by Act of Congress, approved
May %, 1881, and was organized by the selection
of Prof. d. L. Salmon as its Chief. Investiga-
tions have been made in regard to the extent,
nature and means of combating outbreaks of
communicable diseases among the dOmesticated
animals of the country, and much light has
been thrown on the difficult problems which
are encountered by those who practically at
tempt to reduce the ravages of these plaques.
1t has the direction of the quarantine system
as to diseased animals which has proved of
great utility in preventing the spread of cpl
denies. In short, this Division has directed
its labor to prevent and control communicable
diseases among the animals in this country; to
prevent the importation of such plaques from
abroad, and to collect such information as is
valuable to the stock-grower and necessary to
the profitable development and conduct of our
animal industries, and to enable US TO secure
free entrance for cur products into the markets
of the world
