About that ArmOry.

Editor Palutka NEWS:
One of your correspondents asked of
You a question which, as yet, has not
been answered " Have the County Com
missioners a right to provide an armory
for the Gem City Guards" Perhaps
there are others who think they have not,
so l will quote the law. See McCIellan's
Digest, Chapter 154, Section IS, Page 776:
" MILITIA.-It shall be the duty of the
Board of Commissioners of any county
in which public arms, accoutrements or
military stores are so received. to provide
at the cost Of the county, and payable
out of the county treasury, a suitable
and safe armory o. armories for the or
ganiZed volunteer companies within the
limits of said County"
Before asking such questions as the
above, it would be much better if your
correspondents, when they imagine our
county officers are doing that which they
are not authorized to do, to first ascer-
tain the facts, and If they are, call them
to account; if they are not, let them
rest IN peace. JUSTICE,

Yesterday a colored man who works
III the orange grove Of Mr.. Martin Crit
fin across the river, said. in speaking of
the bones of the man found back of
Devils Elbow on Saturday afternoon
last, that some four months ago four or
five white men, whom he describes as
hard cases, and all more or less intox-
icated, vere noticed walking about over
there. They stole Ratchet from Crit
fins grove and that night camped about
where the skeleton was found. A few
days afterwards, the colored man says,
he noticed that The buzzards We're con-
greGated there in large numbers, but
thinking they were after the carcass of
some dead animal he paid no attention
to them. He thinks that this man was
killed by his companions, and that If a
close search IS made the Ratchet will be
found about the place.
Nothing was seen Of tho men after
that night, and the theory Of the colored
man may be the correct one. At least

a Kindly Tribute from the Pen of His
Owncr--At harrison's Bar.

Kindly Tribute from the Pen of His
Orncr-At kIarrison's Bar.
The late Gen. McClellan's famous horse,
Dan Webster, receives a Just and kindly
tribute from the pen of his owner in the forth
coming book of the generals. IL is given in
connection with an account of ono of the
battles of the Army Of the Potomac. There
was delay on the march. "But as | had my
trustworthy horse, Dan Webster" writes the
general, Il made better progress than was
agreeable to the escort, most of whom had
been left behind when reached the scene of
battle. Dan was one OF those horses that
could trot all day long at very rapid gait
which kept all other horses at gallop. /
think it was on this ride that he earned from
the aides the title of that devil Dan q name
which he justified on many another long and
desperate ride before / gave up the command
of the Army of the Potomac.
dan was the best horse l ever had; he
never was i'll for an hour, never fatigued,
never disturbed under fire, and never lost his
equanimity or his dignity, except on one oc-
caSion. That was when we abandoned the
position at Harrison's Bar, under the orders
to return to Washington. From 4 very nat
ural feeling l remained there until all the
trains and troops had left, and sending for
ward all tho escort and staff, remained alone
in the works for a little time, my mind full
or the fatal consequences OF the order L was
forced to carry into execution. At length
mounted and rode out to Join the escort; as /
passed through the abandoned works Dan,
for the first time in his life, gave vent to his
feelings by a series of most vicious .,unGes
and kicks 1t was possible that the flies, who
had enjoyed a whole army to feed upon, con-
centrated all their energies upon Dan; but
have always more than suspected that, in his
quiet way, Dan understood the condition of
affairs much better than the authorities at
Washington, and merely wished to inform
me in his own impressive manner that he
fully agreed with my views as to the folly of
abandoning the position, and that he, at
least. had full confidence in his master.
Dan and never quarreled, and the dear
old fellow survived the war for many years,
dying at a ripe old age in 1879. No matter
how long we might be parted-once for nearly
four years-he always recognized me the
moment we met again, and in his own way
showed his pleasure at seeing me. Even on
the day of his death, which was painless
one from old age, whenever L entered his
stall he tried 10 rise and greet me, but unable
to do that, would lean his head against me
and lick my hand. No soldier ever had a
more faithful or better horse than 1 had in

PATH OF AN ANCIENT CYCLONE.
Tracing the Course of storm Which
Occurred Over 500 Years Ago.

Tracing the Course of a storm Which
Occurred Over 500 Years Ago.
Mr.. John I. Campbell, OF Rockville, Ind,
has succeeded in the very original work of
tracing the course of cyclone which must
have passed over that portion of the country
more than 500 years ago. The course OF the
storm was traced by means OF what ne calls
tree graves'-that i, the little mounds which
a tree makes when ii Is uprOoted AID allowed
to decay upon the SPOT upon which it fell.
The earth thus turned up by the roots, with
the decayed root itself, will generally form
quite a large mound, which IS Otter taken for
an Indian grave, hence tree graves The
date of the storm in question, Is communi-
Gated by Mr.. Campbell TO The American
Naturalist, was marked by 9oting the age Of
an oak which had grown on the top of one of
the tree graves"
Its course was found by inQuiring where
other tree graves" had existed or had been
observed in the past and was traced in belt
about 900 feet wide for fifteen miles. Where
the stree graves are numerous, Is in the path
of Mr.. Campbell'S cyclone, they are supposed
to mark the place where fierce battle has
occurred. In the wild forest these marks are,
though more than 500 years old, as well pre-
served and as distinct in outline as many made
by trees that have fallen recently. But if the
land is cleared and cultivated, they disappear
in very few years under the action of the
plow and of exposure to frost and rains
The preservation of the little mounds in
the woods, which under the continuance of
the conditions might last for 5000 or 10000
years, IS due to the thin coating of forest
leaves that lie upon them. Says Mr. Camp
bell: The leaves act as shingles in shedding
the rains, so that they are not washed or worn
down by the falling rain or melting snow.
The frost does not penetrate through n good
coating of leaves, and therefore they are not
expanded and spread out 10y freezing and
thawinE. l can see great difference be
tween the mounds i'll the wild forest and those
on land that has been set to grass and pas
tured few years. The tramping Of stock,
and the frequent expansions from freezing
which the grass does not prevent, hatten them
perceptibly. The grass, however, does pre-
serve them against rain w;'shinEs- '-S Scientific
