One of the Oldest living officers of the
navy-there are less than half dozen
older than he's Rear Admiral John
L. Worden, who is living in Washing
ton He is as modest in manners and
appearance now as when he commanded
the Monitor in her great fight with the
Merrlmac. He was only Lieutenant
then, but he was within three days OF
being forty-four years of age, having
been born in Sing Sing. this State, on
March II, 1878 1t will be remem-
bered by those who can recall that
fight that Worden just escaped being
killed outright. He was Withdrawing
his eyes from the lookout hole in the
turret when a shell from the Merrimac
struck the Monitors pilot house. 1t
exploded, utterly binding and partially
stunning him. But this was the Mer-
rimacs last shot. Lieutenant Worden
received several testimonials of COM
mendatiOn for his services, the first one
being gold box from the citizens of
Buffalo, which reached him when
he was lying on his back, helpless
AID still blind. The Legislature
of this State gave him a handsome
sword and belt. He was promoted out
OF the regular line to commander on
July 10, 1862, ''as a reward for distin-
guished gallantry." and under an act of
Congress passed in December, 1886. he
was retired with the full sea-pay of his
grade. Lieutenant Worden commended
one and all under him for the zeal,
energy and courage displayed in that
remarkable combat. One of these
younger officers of the volunteer navy of
that day was Louis n. Stodder, now the
commander of the revenue cutter Grant,
on this station. Captain Stodder was
only an acting master, but he was soon
afterward promoted to Lieutenant. In
1865 he left the navy and got a commits
sion in the Revenue Marine Service.
Except that his mustache and hair have
grown white, he looked but little
older when he was in Collector Ma
cones Office on Saturday than when he
stood in the turret of the Monitoc, as
sisting Lieutenant Greene in handling
her guns against the rebel ironclal(-

an. V. E." sends the story of a
touching incident of the late war which
has never before been told in print 1t
relates to a young man once well
known in Atlanta.
During the great battle of Gettys-
burg, while the chances Of success were
about equally poised in the balance, a
young man from Atlanta, as delicate as
a girl. but as brave as Napoleon, re-
ceived terrible wound with a cannon
shot, which laid open his vitals so that
his heart was actually seen to pulsate
by his companions. while he was yet
talking and telling them of the prep
aration for the change then at hand
and his willingness to meet his Master.
Soon after he was shot, General Lee
came near. When the wounded man
saw him he expressed desire to shake
his hand and bid him farewell Gen.
eral Lee was called and rode up to the
wounded man, who was raised to his
feet by two of his companions, and,
holding his entrails with his left hand.
he extended the other to the great Cap
tain. saying: Goodbye, General. am
killed, but have been a good boy and
am prepared to go. shall meet you
in Heaven"
General Lee gave him hearty shake
of the hand and said: Goodbye, my
boy. shall try to meet you on the
other side"
This young man was Lewis Morris,
of company 3D." Forty-fourth regi-
ment, Georgia volunteers, who was
known to the companies as ''Crick'
Morris He has a large kinsfolk in
and around Atlanta, among them Coun-
Gilman Morris, a brother. Probably
some of them never heard of his dra-
matte. heroic and triumphant death
until now. The scene presented is not
overdrawn. 1t was witnessed by many
of the sunburnt veterans of Jackson's
old corps, a few of whom are yet living
to testify to the fact that all who saw
it, including General Lee himself, shed
tears. ''Crick" Morris died in a few
minutes after General Lee rode off,
and, like thousands of noble men, is
sleeping quietly to-day in an unknown
Constitution.

July II, 1861. As Military Secretary
l had previously. under the commands
of General Scott, disturbed the Presi.
dent five times that night. When ]
knocked for the sixth time at the door
of the Presidents bed-chamber he ap-
peared, exhibiting some little vexation,
in red flannel shirt, which, out oil

Colonel. do you ever sleep?" The
reply was:
Mr.. President, l was about to ask
you the same question"
He said: 81 have not slept much
since this civil war began"
The rejoinder was: Indeed, Mr.
President, regret to have to disturb
you so often II had to do it several
times almost every night; but you
know, Mr.. President, l am under au-

''But, Colonel. what am to do?"
"Oh, Mr.. President, think we can

"a great deal, Mr.. President" was
the reply.

SORGHUM CULTURE.
Get the Soil in Good Condition Before Sow
ing the Seed.

Get the Soil in Good Condition Before Sow
| ing the Seed.
Under the present conditions nearly
every farmer can raise his molasse:
| and sorghum at less cost, consider
ing the quality. One of the principal
advantages in growing sorghum is that
the molasses is of known quality, and
small acreage will generally be suffi-
cient to supply the ordinary needs OF
the family, and without investing any
thing but labor. In most localities the
cane can be worked up into molasses
for share of the product. Cane is
naturally tropical plant and requires
a warm soil if a good growth is se-
cured. 1t is also plant that makes a
very slow growth at first and is easily
stunted when the soil is wet and cold
In addition. not only is the growth and
yield affected by the weeds, but the
work of harvesting is materially in
creased as they are allowed to grow.
As the plants are small and tender and
make slow growth. it is an item to
select clean land and then to prepare
in a good filth before sowing the seed.
AS it is not best to SOW until the soil is
sufficiently warmed to induce rapid
termination of the seed, very good
plan is to clean up thoroughly and
pillow the soil and then little work
will be required with the harrow to
get it into proper filth for sowing.
As only slight covering is needed
for the seed, the burrows should be
marked as shallow as possible and care
be taken to SOW the seed evenly. A
quicker termination will be secured il
the seed is placed in an open vessel
and warm water is poured over suf-
feient to cover, and let stand about
twenty-four hours. Cover lightly.
Where considerable acreage is sown
it will be profitable to use a seed-drill,
as the work can be done much more
evenly than by hand. Sow in drills
rather than in hills. On land that is
fit to grow this crop the larger yield
secured will make the work necessary
to keep clean profitable. 1t is impor-
tant with this crop that care be taken
to keep down the weeds and make the
soil fine and mellow during the early
stages of growth. Once a good start
to grow is made it will grow very
rapidly, but much depends upon the
of the earlier cultivation
With the soil well prepared the har-
row can be used at first TO destroy the
weeds and keep in good filth, after
which the cultivator can be used. And
If this is done the work can be made |
much easier, and in proportion as this
il done the better will be the growth
and yield.-Cor. ST. Louis Republic.

Two Heroic Volunteers.

In the year 1864 General Grant had
finished the mine in front of Peters
burg. At four clock in the morning
of July 80 the fuse was lighted, and,
after waiting the allotted time, which
passed without an explosion. Colonel
Peasants called for two volunteers to
enter the mine and find out why it had
not exploded. This was very risky
undertaking. The mine was likely at
any minute to explode. but the call was
responded to by two men from the
Forty-eighth Pennsylvania regiment,
Lieutenant j. Douty and Sergeant 81.
Reese These men entered the mine,
from which they never were expected
to return. After the lapse OF few
minutes. however, they returned and
reported the fuse as extinguished after
fifty feet had been burned. They again
relighted the fuse, and after five min
utes had elapsed the earth heaved and
trembled and the fort in front of Peters
burg, with all its garrison, was thrown
into the air.-William A. Brasefeld, in

DOGS IN WARFARE.
Some OF the Uses to Which Our Canine
Friends Are Being Trained.

|
Friends Are Being Trained.
Veterinary Surgeon Bennett, in his
lecture at the United Service Institute,
told the interesting and strange story
of the war dog from Roman days down
ward. Coming to Christian times We
are reminded of the war dog used by
the Spaniards in America; by the Earl
of Essex in Ireland during the re-
bellion; by the English in the defense of
Tangiers, when dogs saved the guards
from a great ambush of Moors; of the
famous French dog, Moustache, who
detected surprise the first night be-
fore Alexandria, who fought at Maren-
go, saved the standard of his regiment
before Austerlitz, and was decorated on
the battlefield. Then the lecturer re-
called how, after the famous campaign
of General Skobeloff in Asia Minor, the
Russians decided to instruct dogs as
sentries, and how finally the Germans
took up the question in 1885 and de-
veloped it till to-day dog can carry
back message from outposts more
quickly than the best-mounted uhlan.
There are at least five distinct purposes
for which trained dogs can be used in
war:
1. Auxiliary sentinels to the outposts and
sentries and to the advanced, rear and flank
guards in general.
2. As scouts, on the march, OF reconnaissance,
and patrol duties.
q disOatph
camp, in action, etc.
4 As auxiliary ANN unition carriers on the
march and in action.
s. AS searcher for the wounded and killed
after an engagement
Coming to the best kinds of dogs for
training. the lecturer had good word,
of course, to say for the shepherd dog,
the retriever and the spaniel, and for
the bloodhound as the dog par excel
lence for tracking, for following up the
enemy into mountains, through jungles
and forests, and for running down da-
koits and other marauders. And since
the bloodhound's scent is so acute he
would require neither to hear nor see
to give warning of the approach of the
foe at night or in thick covert In
discussion among some experts and dis
tinguished and doggy general officers
following the lecture it was pointed
out that the bloodhound, in sentry work
or on night marches, could give warn
ing by his nose alone of the approach
of strange bodies at distance of about
three hundred yards. under favorable
conditions of wind, and that the blood
hounds steadfastness by night and day
in following up human scent is such
that, although crossed even by deer or
other game, he does not leave the lead
ing scent.
By way of illustrating the value OF
the war dog in carrying ammunition
during action to the front a trained re-
triever was shown girded with his |
leather saddle-bags capable OF carry |
ing eighty rounds of the new rifle cart
ridge. Altogether the war dog ap-
peared to find considerable favor among
the audience gathered at Whitehall |
place, and the general opinion seemed
to prevail that, if he is ever lucky |
enough to find official recognition at the |
war Office, he is destined to play use
full part in the game of our little wars.
