A GRrAT MoRAL LESSON.

morning nere edited by the spectacle Of q
drunken dog that was hboriously making his
way down to Dorr street. That dog Is amost
disreputable cur, and Of late years has be.

habit Of drinking by going into Httls 81
beer that dripped from the faucets. II was
the same old story-a little bit at first-then
, a little more-thsn one on me-then ons on
you-then just one more, you know, until
this morning he went reeling and Staggering
down the sidewalk. The dog seemed etosbe
the victim Of an uncomfortable desire to
drift to leeward all the time, for he could not
sail straight up the sidewalk, but WAS COM
unseen obstacle in his path Of progress for
he lifted his feet high in the air, and made
strenuous efforts to step over the distractions
that evidently bothered him. Toledo Blade.

tance was 1870 miles and had to be guarded
throughout its whole length As tho army
advanced into Georgia II would be necessary
TO lengthen out tho railway track guard still

As II was, tho ono railroad was taxed to lts

Of Nashville were to haul out thoir own sup

Great was tho wrath that arose with this
order. President Lincoln was appealed TO TO

army or the people must quit using the rail-
road, and that tho army could not quit II joe
Johnston was TO be conquered. After that
hc had his own way, and tho supplies were
soon nearly doubled. But still they were not
largo enough. Theroupon Sherman ordered
his master OF transportation TO seize all trains
that came into Louisville and Nashville. 1t

president OF tho Louisville and Nashville road

This was done, and the supplies forwarded.

counts his movement was a surprise to the
Confederates Gen. Johnston says, however
that II was not a surprise. He had made his

to move his army there at moments notice,
because Resaca was tho more tenable place.

IL Mcpherson had either entered Resaca or
taken position on the railroad north Of 1t,
Sherman and the Union historians arc of
opinion that great disaster would then and
there have fallen upon Johnston at tho very
beginning Of this famous campaign. But
Johnston himself is Of tho opposite opinion
1t is well TO know both sides. Johnston, on
his part, declares that II Mcpherson had taken
either OF tho courses suggested his whole army
would have been destroyed. Johnston says
he would have attacked McPherson with such
advantages OF numbers and position as would
have insured his destruction.
Tho Union plan Of campaign was changed,
therefore, to meet tho now situation. Sher-
man decided that he would now pour his
whole army through Snake Creek Gap upon
Resaca.

what came TO pass.
Johnston. at Dalton, had begged tho au-
thoritles at Richmond over and again to send
him ro-enforcements. They refused 10 do %
unless ho promised TO mako the campaign IN
offensive one On this and other prctexts
Johnston was left all winter and till the
spring was nearly gono confronting a force
double his own. At length, seeing signs that
tho Union armies were certainly going to
move against him, he sent, May 4, an urgent
request that part OF Folks command should
be given to him Polks army was thon In
Alabama and Mississippi. This request of
Johnston's was at last complied with, but 1t
was not till Sherman was actually upon him
that tho troops arrived.

Johnston had been enabled to make the
complete disposition of his forces May IS, by
tho tactics Of the Confederate Gen. Loring.
All Of May 10, while Sherman's troops wers
arriving, he had, with his division, kept
Mcpherson busily engaged at the front, and
held him In check about a mile from Resaca.
During this time Folks and Hardee's troops
were arriving, the first from tho west, the
second from Dalton. By May II, when tho
battle took place, Johnston had been TO
enforced by more than 1900 men. % that he
now had nearly 10000 mon with which to op-
pose Sherman. They were also to Love the

During the past week few of the bee
keepers from New Smyrna took trip to
the head of the lagoon to ascertain, if
possible, a suitable place to remove their
colonies for the winter, where they can Sc
cure sufficient forage to carry them over
without the necessary feeding. At the
extreme head of the lagoon an apiary was
visited that had been increased from eight
colonies to twenty-seven, besides furnish
ing over two barrels of excellent honey
At the time of visiting the bees were busi-
ly engaged in storing new honey from the
various flowers aboundiDg in that vicini-
ty, among which the Partridge Pea was
most prominent. The result of the visit
will no doubt be the removal of over one
hundred colonies to that section.
