Honor ut the Funeral.
ST.. LOUIS, Feb. l5.-General Sherman
was the first colonel Of the Thirteenth
United States infantry. P.J. Carmody

regiment who lives here. Captain Car
m0dy wired p. 7. Sherman, asking what
arrangements, if any, had been made as
to the place of honor for the veterans of
the dead chieftain's early commands.
The following reply has been received
from p. T. Sherman: 'sWill make ar
rangements for you to join Ransom post,
g. A. r., and escort the body. Join it
with none but survivors of the Thir-
teenth."
About 125 survivors are left, most OF
whom live in Iowa, Minnesota and Wis
consin. Captain Carmody wishes to
hear from as many comrades as he can,
and he invites them to join him. in
h0noring their old colonel. He may be
addressed at No. 2l5 North Sixth street,

FIFrY-FIRer CONGRESS-.
Forecast for This Week-The Anti Silver
Men Fear : Surprise.

M GA = V0E = S0ERXk80s
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The energy
displayed by congress during the past
week in action upon general appropria-
ton bills, has had the result of placing
three measures in q state Of forward
ness that compares favorably with the
record of preceding congresses in the
short session.
The copyright bill is unfinished busi-
ness before the senate. Hale has stated
his intention to take up. the diplomatic
appropriation bill tomorrow, but as the
friends Of the copyright bill are conf
dent that that measure is in such shape
that it can save much time, II will prob
ably be brought to final vote. before
the diplomatic bill is taken up.
The Republican caucus list Of meae-
ures selected TOR consideration in the
intervals between the discussion Of apl
preparation bills, ID AZ follows: Indian
depredations bill; Nicaragua canal bill !;
pure food and Conger lard bills; !; army
reorganization bill interstate COM
merce bill; land court bill revenue
marine bill, and Pacific railroads fund
ing bill. How far in this programme
the senate may proceed, will depend on
the amount Of time occupied BY the APP
preparation bills.
In the house 1t iscon6d 6dently expected
that by the end Of the week the general
deficiency bill will be the only one Of
the regular annual bills unacted on. It
is the Intention to finish confederation
Of the Indian bill tomorrow, and 1t will
be arranged that the postofiice and agri-
cultural appropriation bills shall follow
in the order named. The shipping bill,
which for about two weeks has remained
pending a. unfinished business, will
then be again brought up.
The silver question still remains the
absorbing topic Of discussion among the
members Of the house, and there is con.
slant fear on the part of the conserva-
tive members that IL may ~ some un-
expected time Be sprung On tho house

Manufacture of Fertilizer in this county has
reduced the cost of it to the farmer from
three to five dollars per ton and saved to
them Thousands of Dollars. Therefore, is

while we are trying to save you money, and
bring you nearer to the manufacturer? We
desire to deal directly with you as possible,
thereby saving to you all extra commissions.
We therefore invite all farmers, farmers

usual city mixture and will drill perfectly. We

Flexible sandstone is one of the curiosities
found in North Carolina. The quarries
are in the mountains of the southwestern
corner of the State, and the stone is taken
out more as a curiosity than for any other
purpose, though it is sometimes employed
in building. When cutin thin piece, say
the size and shape of a common milestone,
you can bend it into considerable arc
without its breaking, and it will resume its
former straightness on the pressure being
removed. OF course, if you bend it too
far it will break, but the fact that it will
bend at all is most remarkable.
