Buell. ON Shiloh.

General Buell's contribution to the
Century Magazine for March, is a
paper that will not make peace on
the subject of the greatly disputed
battle. It opens with this paragraph:
Twenty-three yeagFsago the banks OF
the Tennessee WITNESSED remarkable
occurrence. There was a. wage OF
battle. Heavy blows were given and
received, and the chanllenger failed to-
make his cause good. But there were
peculiar circumstances which distin-
guished the combat from other trials
OF strength in the rebellion: All army
comprising seventy regiments ofinfan-
try, twenty batteries OF artillery and
q sufhciency Of cavalry lay for two
weeks and more in isolated camps,
with a river in it's rear and a hostile
army claimed to be superior in num-
bers twenty miles distant in it's front,
while the commander made his head
quarters and passed his nights nine
miles away on the opposite side OF
the river. It had no line or order. of
battle, no defensive works Of any sort,
no outposts, properly speaking, to
give warning or check the advance OF
an enemy, and no recognized head
during the absence of the regular
commander. On Saturday the hos
tile force arrived and formed in order
of battle, without detection or him
drance, within g. mile and q half of
the ungnarded army, advanced upon
it the next morning, penetrated it's
disconnected lines, assaulted its camps
in front and flank, drove it's discounted
members successfully from position
to position, capturing some and rout-
ing Others, in spite of much heroic
individual resistance, and steadily
drew near the landing and depot Of
supplies in the pocket between the
river and an impossible creek. At
day when the remnant of the retrograd-
ing army was driven to refuge 10 the
midst OF it's magazines, with the triunl-
plant enemy at half-gunshot distance,
the advance division OF reinforcing
army arrived on the opposite bank oil
the river, crossed, ard took position
under FIRE at the point ofattaek; the
attacking force was checked, and the.
battle ceased for the day. The next
morning atdawn the reinforcing army
and q fresh division belonging to the
defeated force advanced against the
assailants, followed Or accompanied
by such OF the broken columns OF the
previous day as had not lost all
cohesion, and after ten hours ofcon-
fiict drove the enemy from the capt
ured camps and the field of battle.

The Chicago Inter Ocean b thus

The Chicago Inter Ocean thus
diferentiates Boston sristocracy and
the local product: A Boston man
visiting in Chicago, is both surprised
and disgusted with the discovery that
the Chicago man has no ancestors, no
family portraits, except such as have
been brought into the family by pur-
chase at an auction store, and no
pedigree. On the other hand, the
Chicago man, when he goes to Boston,
stands speeches. with awe at the
lofty scorn with which the men whose
grandfathers founded the family and
the family fortune by selling rum and
molasses 8 hundred years ago look
down upon the men who are selling
rum and molasses to-day

bed.

Speaking OF Senator VOORHEES,, says
Carp, the Washington correspondent,
recalls story OF the Senator's daugh~
ter which l heard recently and which
well illustrates the snobbishness and
the emptiness OF the young beaux of
Washington society. You will find
nowhere in the country, and perhaps
not in the world, a brighter society OF
old and middle-aged men than hers
at Washington. The young beaux,
however, made up largely Of young
army officers and rich, pampered
statesmen's sons, are, as a rule, OF
the silly dude order who have hardly
enough sense to 60 in when it rains,
and with whom position means every
thing. They think that the whole of
life sgoing to germans and receptions,
and they snub those below them and
toady those above them in social
rank. Senator Voorhees, daughter
is very bright girl, and somewhat
beautiful and not at all foolish. She
has not been accustomed to going
much in this young society, and the
other night when she attended one OF
their germans she was comparatively
stranger. The day following she
received call from ayoung lieutenant
she had met at the dance, who said
with ~ shipper as he met her: "Miss
VOORHEES,, I have called to apologize
in that I did not pay more attention
to you at the dance last night. But
WEAKLY / did not know, you know,
that you were Senator Voorhees,

:. Il was not aware" said Miss Voor-
hees, chat / was especially sighted. !"
:'Ah! but you know, Miss VOORHEES,,
it makes a great difference in our so
ciety who you are, you know; and
had we known you We're Senator
Voorhees, daughter, yoa would have
gotten, you know, q great many more
favors at the german, don't you
know! But / know you now, Miss
VOORHEES,, and I will see that Sena-
tor VOORHEES, 8 daughter gets more fac-
vors in the future. ] hope you will par

had appreciated what Miss VOORHEES,

would have gone away more disgust

"Right Kind of Religion"
Low Neck Dresses.

The present fashion of extremely
decollete evening dresses is not confined
to the young and fair, says the New
York Tribune. All ages accept this
unlovely fancy; which is all the more
extraordinary since fashion presents
an exquisite and tempting array of
kerchiefs, delicate ]aces and other
charming devices, hali-revealing, half
concealing the neck they cover. The
heart-shaped waist finished with O.
peak adds grace to the figure, whether
slender or otherwise. It is cut very
low at the neck, but has an inner
trimming which just relieves the skin
of too strong contrast, made of
some soft, silky Grape or tulle, and as
the back is cut to correspond with the
front this is similarly arranged and
the tiny cap or strap that answers for
the sleeve corresponds also, in the
way of several little folds of the trans.
parent fabric that trims the corsage.
The display Of ball costumes and
those for other full-dress occasions is
like mimic ALEXANDRA. The full-tone
colors, the inter-lacing flagree Of en-
broidery, with the profuse admixture
of pearls and beads, the network Or
namentation, arabesque embroid eries,
the shaded frescoes of the Byzantine
period, the full Ionic volutes, Runic
knots-all are included in the graceful
arrangement of the draperies and the
decoration in silk and beadwork. i

Poultry Notes.

From Poultry World.
Cabbages supply an excellent aux
iliary for the winter feeding OF chick
ems.
Every one who keeps even a few
fowls should have a room for their ex-
elusive use in the winter, if at no other
season.
The droppings OF the hens should be
occasionally removed; they should
not be allowed to accumulate. The
floors should be covered with loan or
sand.
Too much meat, especially if raw,
will hurt hefowls, but they need mod
crate supply OF it in winter, when they
cannot forage upon the insects of the
fields.
Prepare for snow, sleet and storms
this month, in your winter arrange
ments for the fowls. The weather will
be sharp and trying now, for the most
part, during the next three or four
months.
Let the laying hens run at will in the
barn-yard. They find grass seeds,
partly digested grain, etc, and so re-
quire less feeding. If you expect eggs
this cold weather, don't forget to give
them hot mash in the morning.
Keep a big iron pot hidden under the
kitchen table, and into it throw par
ings of all kinds, all sorts of table ref
use, and fill up with small potatoes.
Cook until very soft and keep it on the
back of the range all night, in order to
have it warm in the morning. Before
feeding, mash all we'll, and stir in bran,
meal or middlings.

Tho Advantage Of Mitldle,nen.

The advantage Of low rates for farm
products is caught and retained by
the middlemen. Three illustrative in.
stances of the anomalous dispropor-
ton between buying and selling prices
are cited by the Northern Christian
Advocate:
"Wheat has declined fully 80 per
cent. since '82, but at retail -four Is
down only about ~ per cent. All
kinds of meat cattle are cheaper than
they have been since the war; farmers
who have them to sell can find no
market for them. The very best beef
is offered in Syracuse, Utica, Oswego
and Auburn at $3.50 to S.. 5Oper cwt.
by farmers and butchers; yet people
who buy beef by the pound are paying
about the same prices that we're asked
when all sorts Of fatted cattle were
scarce and beef at wholesale sold
readily at $40 to $12. Cheese has
hardly paid for making this year;
thousands OF tens OF good cheese sold
below cents g. pound and much as
low as 8 1-2 cents; but the city buyer,
Or indeed the very farmer who made
it, will have to pay at the store from
10 to II cents a pound for the same
cheese, and he often gets short weight
besides"
AS a possible advantage to both
producer and consumer, our contem-
porary suggests the establishment by
farmers of retail agencies in towns. Ii
cooperative storekeeping ever was
justified it certainly would be now in
the interest Of depressed agriculture"
s'Right Kind of Religion
Many years ago. on visiting Var
mouth Port, his native place, my IA
Their met all old friend, who said to
him: "Mr. H., I've got religion since
saw YOU" "I'm glad you have"
said my father; "but have you got a
shed at the meeting house to put your
horse in Sundays?" "No! / have
not" "Well! I guess you'd better
try again. I think you haven't got
the right kind of religion" This was
long before the day of societies for
prevention OF cruelty to animals; but
have no doubt it had good effect,
for the story was told all "along
street. New Orleans Picayune.

How to Care for Convalescents-ThcT r1-
fes Overlooked.

From Good Housekeeping.
When g. sick person is recovering
from An illness and the proverbial ap-
petite of the convalescent asserts it,
self IN all it's force, the business of sup
plying food becomes comparatively
easy. The nurse has large assert
ment from which to choose. But it is
when the sufferer is burning with fever
or agonizing with nausea that the ca
terer's ingenuity is most severely tax
ed. The tax of preparing food that
will tempt the appetite and yet not in
crease the malady, is no light one. 1t
is especially difficult in case of fever.
The patients strength must be main
tanned while at the same time every
thing that quickens the circulation or
excites the system, is as feul to the
fame that is consuming him. Nor is
this the only argument against ad-
ministering animal food. The prime
evil effect Of the fever Is the drying up
of the healthful juices OF the body.
The deprived of the amount
OF gastric fluid requisite for proper d.
gestion, is unable to dispose OF any
thing but the lightest and simplest
forms of nourishment. Neglect or ig-
norance of this duty of sparing labor
to the digestive powers has been res
ponsiblefor many cases ofgastric COM
plication which have not only retard-
ed immediate recovery, but borne
fruit long afterward in dyspepsia and
kindred complaints. The use OF milk
in febrile disorders is oicomparatively
recent date. The practice of keeping
typhoid patients alive for weeks on
an almost exclusively milk diet was
regarded as a startling innovation, but
its success has been the best argument
in it's favor. The drinking Of hot milk
as a remedy for bowel troubles has
also been proved since the threatenings
Of cholera have been heard among us.
A glass ofthis, as hot as it can be swal-
lowed, taken at each meal to the ex-
clusion OF every other beverage, has
been known to act like @ charm as an
anti-laxative.

Fatal Fire at Butte.

A fire at Butte on Sunday morning last
destroyed the Oregon House, two-story
frame hotel, and resulted in one death and
the serious injury of several others. The
fire originated, from some unknown cause,
in the upper story at an early hour and
the flames spread with such rapidity that
many of the inmates barely escaped in an
almost nude condition. Charlie Lee, a
four-year old son of Mrs. Lizzie Lee, who
was asleep with his mother and two
younger brothers in the upper story, was
left behind through an oversight of Mrs.
Lee, she thinking in the excitement Of the
moment that she had secured all three of
her children, and her mistake was not dis
covered until too late to save the child,
who became victim to the remorscless
flames. Frank Huth, who made his es-
cape by Jumping from the second story
window, received serious internal injuries
which may prove fatal. Besides these
Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Bradley, Joseph Weston,
William Barton, Charles Shattuck and N.
NJ. Graham were more or less seriously
burned. The property loss by the fire is
$4,000; insured for $4,225.

Sonora railroad, and killing fifteen per
sons, all Mexicans. A company OF sol
diers were sent after them. Two soldiers

A Double Fatality at Phllipsburg.

Independent: On Friday last miner
named Peter Toi was repairing some tim
bcrs in the shaft of the Granite Mountain
mine at Phillipsburg. By some means he
lost his balance and fell down the shaft
and was killed. A man named Noble, a
friend of Toy, heard his despairing cry as
he fell and rushed to his assistance along
one of the levels. In his excitement he
missed his calculation as to the locality of
the shaft and in the darkness, fell into the
yawning pit and was also instantly killed.
Both men were Cornishmen, and Noble
leaves family in England.

The Blackfoot Reservation.

A special telegram to the Independent
from Delegate Toole says: The amend

negotiate with the Indians in northern
Montana for the reduction of their reser-
vation or for their removal to other reser-
vations has been agreed on by the con-
ference committee of both houses of con-
gress. In my opinion this bill will result
in opening the entire Blackfoot reservation
to settlement at the next session of con-
gress and the removal of the Indians to
the big Sioux reserve in Dakota.
