The Agricultural Department has maintained in
Europe an agent whose special duty it ia TO

products have been enlarged By the establishment
of new industries and the development of others

TRIBUTE TO THE UNION SOLDIERS.
The Union soldiers and sailors are now veterans
of time we'll of The parallels Of age
have approached close to fhc citadcls Of life and
the end, for each, Of brave and honorable Strug
