EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: / notice in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE of May "a a short
account of the PawPaw blunder. H. c. DEN
ny, of the 18th Ind, in trying to correct
Lieut. Pearce, of the 22d Ind, makes some
very grave mistakes in regard to which regi-
ment fired the first volley. I have to say
it was the 18th Ind. Denny almost admits as
much when he says that they had "orders to
fire without hating" With such orders it is
only reasonable to suppose that they fred into
the 22d Ind. without giving those troops the
least warning.
The first fire Of the 18th did but little dam
age, owing to the night, which in the paw paw
thicket was rather dark, and was only answer
ed by afew struggling shots from the 22d, from
the fact that Maj. Tanner ordered the men to
lie down and hold their fire, as it was our own
men who had fired into us. The second voley
MORALLY wounded the gallant Major, who ex-
claimed as he fell, 81 have been killed by our
own boys" and in the agonies Of death that
soon relieved him from all pain he ordered us
to hold our fire. Not until the fall of Mai
Tanner did the 22d do any shooting, with the
exception of the few shots above mentioned.
Comrade Denny makes another mistake
when he states that we passed Glasgow before
night. Glasgow was the town we were ad-
vancing upon and it was but a short distance
above US when we collided in the paw paw
thicket.
he says Glasgow was on the south bank Of the
river. Glasgow is, and always has been since
1t received its name, situated on the north
bank of the Missouri River. Any map Of that
State will prove my assertion. / have been in
Glasgow since the war. / did not visit the
paw-paw thicket, as l was informed that the
! feld-was in corn at that time, and the thicket
in which we made our blunder had nearly all
been washed away by the Big Muddy.
1t seems to me altogether an unlikely story

upon that eventful night was locked up in the

TIoNAL TRIBUNE viii not suspect me Of any
desire to 1atter it or anyone else when l say,

The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. 1t is our paper.
The boys need just such paper. 1t fills q
lOng-felt want, and comes up to the high-Water
mark Of their expectations and desires. Could
not do without it.
Before l set out on my travels among the
boys in blue l myself had high appreciation
Of the service it has been doing these many
years for the poor, nameless and neglected
rank and file, touching q place in every sol
dier's bosom reached by no other publication
in tho world; but l viii very frankly admit
had no idea whatever Of the uniyersaiity of its
circulation and influence among the dear com
raGCs. They could no more do without il than
they could without their tobacco. THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE last week says so and so -
that settles 1t; 10 dispute, no question; final
authority.
What the New York Times is to the Mug
wumps; what the New York Sun is to the Demo
Gratis, and what the New York Tribune is to the
Republicans THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is to ali
the old soldiers of the Union. This is the uni
yersal sentiment wherever I go.
You have friends N every Post, and If you
have an enemy in the GAR Brotherhood or
the W.R.C. Sistorhood, or the 5. V. Sonship, l
have the first one to see yet. Your praise is
on every lip, and you are doing a work for the
boys in blue that will rebound to your praise
for a century to come.
The Century is a grand publication for the
Generals and the wealthy classes to be sure,
but does not reach one in hundred of the
rank and file, while you reach US all, and the
weekly appearance of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
is hailed with delight in a hundred thousand
households and more whose poverty viii not

Your work, like Christ's, is among the poor
est of His poor the noblest and the best, and Is
not only blessing TO the poor, worn-out com
rades of the war, but to their wives and chill
dren.
The wives of the soldiers are the best women
of their generation. Other good women there
arc and millions of them, but the best are
married to the boys in blue. 1t was the sol
diers fortune in the lottery of life to draw
capital prizes at the altar of marriage aud
blanks at the wheel of Mammon. All thesC

| children to love it. God bless them and God
bless you. Your poor old comrade-PRIvATE

Dear Bsother.-I left the Old North
State, the place Of my birth, also the
place where I joined the Farmers
Alliance, on the 5th day of January,
1888, and came to Georgia. [ ex-
pected to find our order spread all
over the entire State, but no. Ihave
found out through Bro. E. B, Warren
that it is only in middle and southern
Georgia, but I. trust that it may soon
be all over the State. I want to see
the Farmers Alliance prosper, for if
there, is anybody that is trying to be
run over by others, it is the poor
farmers and laborers. There are some
people trying to break us up, but
brethren fight and work the harder,
and show them what the Alliance can
do. Iswas Secretary of Porter Swamp
subordinate. Alliance No. ia, in Col
umbus county, n. c., a long time and
T hope the day is not far distant when I,
can hear of old Porter Swamp Ali
ance doing good. Brethren, work
hard, as It is a grand and glorious
order. 49,

beautify some other scenes Of earth"
We are indebted to the secretary Of the
North Carolina Board of Health for a copy
of a treatise on the Scare of the Eyes
and Ears" by DR.. R. H. Lewis, of this
city. DR.. Lewisis aspecialist in the treat
ment of these important organs, and in
this treatise, as in all that he writes; he is
clear, plain and practical, and adapts him
self to the understanding Of the common
reader. The Board of Health deserves
the thanks of the public for this publica-
ton. We shall take the liberty Of max
ing extracts from it for the benefit Of our
patrons.

Deputy Organizer, J. Springs David
son. writing from Lincolnton under
date Of January 3lst, says: II met
about thirty-fve sturdy farmers to-day
at Triangle, in Lincoln county, and
must say they were an uncommon
set. Not one under mortgage to any
one but all living in peace and plenty.
Three merchants were in the crowd
and listened to my talk in regard to
the Farmers Alliance and it's work
ings. All seemed pleased, and l
think every man in the crowd was in
favor Of the repeal of the homestead
law. I organized IN Alliance with
the following officers: A. l.. Cherry,
President; j.. M. Jetton, Vice-Presi-
dent; J. G. Mcintosh, Secretary; David
Cherry, Treasurer; DR.. R. A. Mclean,

South Ryegate.

AT the meeting of the Farmers Club
held in this place May 18th, the topic
for discussion was "The best time to
cut hay" w. j. Henderson was chos-
ell chairman for the evening. Prof,
Cook of the State Board of Agricul-
ture was present. He was invited to
occupy the evening, but said he would
prefer to hear the appointed speakers
give their views first. N. II. Kicker,
where he had heavy grass cutting two
tons to the acre, watched it close and
when the bottom leaves began to turn,
thought it time to cut, if let stand
longer, it lost more at the bottom than
it gained at the top. G. n. Park had
to do differently on his dry knobs, had
to wait till the grass would grow be-
fore he could cut it, W. N. Giltillan,
not prepared to speak from his own
experience, but quoted from others as
favorable to early cut hay the best,
would prefer small quantity and good
quality. Mr.. Cook occupied the re-
mainder of the evening, he gave a des-
cription of the State experiment farm
and what they were doing on it; he al.
so spoke on the topic of the evening,
said he would have hay cut early for
cattle, but later for horses and fol-
selling as it then had more weight. A
vote of thanks was rendered Mr.. Cook
Meeting then adjourned. Next meet.

Marion Harland'S Opinion
of Baking Powders.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists and
hygeniSts as to the relative value of the va
rious baking powders. A careful sitting of
the evidence leaves no doubt as to the supe-
riority of the Royal Baking Powder in puri-
ty. whOlesomeneSs and strength, from sci
entifc stand point. An opinion, however,
that will weigh heavier than any other with
our practical hOuSe-keeperS, is that given
by Marion Harland, the best known and
most popular of American writer's upon
matters pertaining to the science of domes-
tic economy. of housekeeping. and home
cooking. In recent letter to the Philadel-
phia ''Ladies Home Journal. this writer
saws: regard the Royal Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the market
so far as have any experience in the use
of such compounds. Since the introduction
of it into my kitchen, three years ago, L
have used no other in making biscuits,
cakes. etc.. and have entirely discarded for
such purposes the homemade combination
of one-third soda. twO-thirds cream of tar
tar.
every box has been in perfect condition
when it came into my hands, and the con-
tents have given complete satisfaction. 1t
is an act of simple justice, and also pleas
ure, to recommend it unqualitiedly to
American housewives.
