Dogs OF war;
lie

A French paper hBs published roll
of honor of celebrated dogs which have
distinguished themselves in war. This
is not Inappropriate, considering that
the dog has been pressed into military
service. For instance, there was Bob,
the mastiff of the Grenadier Guards,
which made the Crimean campaign
with that gallant corps; and also
Whitepaw' pate Blanche" brave
French ally of Bob. that made the same
campaign with the One Hundred and
Sixteenth of the line, and was wound
ed in defending the flag. Another,
Moustache, was entered on the
strength of his regiment as entitled TO
a grenadier's rations. The barber of
his company had orders TO clip and
comb him once q week. This gallant
animal received a bayonet thrust at
Marengo and recovered dag at
Austerlitz. Marshal Lannes had
MOustache decorated with medal
attached to his neck by a
red ribbon. Corps de Garde.
Norvel among dogs, followed soldier

Russia. The Sixth of the guard had

wore three white stripes sewn on his
black hair. We have also to name
Pompon of the Forty-eighth Bedonis,
the best sentry of the baggage train;
Loutoute, Crimean heorine; Mittrailli,
killed at Inkernan by she'll; Moffino,

SR:-Scene, hospital at Anderson
vile prison, Georgia. Time, during
the month of July, 1864. Hundreds Of
prisoners were coming TO the prison
daily from Sherman's army, who was
pounding at the gates OF Atlanta,
seventy miles away. Among those of
the Fifth Kentucky Cavalry was a
bright-eyed, fair-haired youth not
more than II or is years of age, whose
right hand had been so badly wounded
that the surgeons decided to amputate
three fingers They asked him to take
ether, but he refused, and simply asked
for a small piece of wood to place in
his mouth, which was given him. After
the operation one of the surgeons said
TO him: We'll, young man, you've
got lots of grit about YOU" by
thunder" replied the young fellow,
there are seven Of the same breed in
our family"
During the battle of Plymouth. y. c.,
in April 1864, John White, Corporal
in the Second Massachusetts Horse Ar
tillery was assisting in serving a 80
FOUNDER, when n fuse shell from the
enemy entered the embrasnre and
rolled on the platform. White made a
step or two, when some one shouted:
''Pick it up, John, and throw it over.''
White seized the burning shell and
cast il over the parapet. Scarcely had
it touched the ground when IL ex
ploded, scattering the fragments in all
directions. But for this heroic action
a dozen men might have been disabled
or killed. Ten minutes after the incl
dent John White was dead from a
rebel shell.
But, to my mind, the best illustration
of courage, Cboth moral and PHYSICAL
was afforded by the men OF Anderson
vile and other prisons when offered by
the rebel authorities freedom, good ra-
tfons and warm clothing if they would
but renounce their allegiance to Uncle
Sam. How were these offers met? With
contempt and Indignation, except in a
few isolated cases. Against the induce
ments offered, these poor, half-starved,
disease-eaten fellows had the alterna-
tive of exposure 10 all sorts of weather,
without shelter or clothing, imprison-
nent for an indefinite period, followed,
most probably, with a slow lingering
death from starvation and the chances
Of never seeing or hearing again of the
loved ones at home.
Here was the snblimity of courage.

A Story about nutIsr.

Major Downing of Boston, says the
Tribune, relates an excellent story of
Gen. Butler which has never been
printed:
You know one of our greatest holt
days in Massachusetts is Fast Day, and
it comes along in April. 1t is the duty
of the Governor to issue a proclama-
tion setting the day and exhorting the
citizens of the State to lay aside all
their earthly pursuits and devote the
day to fasting and prayer. Well, when
Ben was Governor he had mighty
hard row to hoe. There We're all sorts
of editors in the State who lay for him
with scalpingknife up their sleeves
night and day, and no opportunity to
make life nightmare to him was ever
overlooked. The same feeling was in
dulged in by men of high standing in
other professions, too, clergymen
among the rest. Well, when old Ben's
proclamation came out it was beauty.
1t wound up with a special exhorta-
ton to the clergy to the effect that
they devote their time to the welfare
of the spiritual man. and refrain from
indulging their curiositieS in the family
affairs of the men and women of their
congregations, and to look to il that in
their teachings their own souls were
free from faint. That proclamation
created sensation. 1t shook the staid
old State of Massachusetts from end to
end. The papers everywhere de-
nounced the Governor as impertinent,
sacrilegious, indicate, coarse, brutal
and profane. They accused him of
being everything that was disagree
able; no official in the history of the
world had ever dared to assail the
clergy in the wanton manner Gov. But
Ter had. On the following Sunday the
ministers had their fling at the
old war horse, and right merrily id
they roast him. The old man
kept perfectly quiet and good-natured
through it all, never losing his temper
or vouehsafing anything in the shape
of an explanation. After everybody
had had his say, and whole lot was
said, too, the old man came ont with a
statement-and the copy to show it,
too--that inasmuch as he was not ex-
perienced in such matters, he had
copied, word for word, the proclama-
tion of one of the first governors Of the
commonwealth. I've forgotten which
one, but in such high esteem was he
held that he wasalmost sainted. Butler
showed to the satisfaction Of everybody
that the only change that he had made
in the original document was to fix the
date and substitute his own name for
that-of the original. That tickled the
old man probably as much as anything
in his life. but there was an awful
crestfallen lot of editors and clergymen
ia the old Bay State for long time
after that. The old man had caught
them fairly, and there was no way for
them to get out of it.

A writer to the Cosmopolitan relates
two instances of noble courage the
reading of which should stir the blood
of every American. One occurred at
Fredericksburg, on the day when halt
the brigades of Meagher and Caldwell
lay on the bloody slope leading up to
the Confederate intrenchments.
Among the assaulting regiments was
the Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost
1856 out of the 300 men who made the
charge. The survivors fell back be
hind fence within easy reach of the
Confederate rife-pits. just before
reaching it the last of the color guard
was shot, and the flag fell in the open.
A captain, Perry, instantly ran out
to rescue it, and as he reached it was
shot through the heart; another cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt,
ard was also killed, and so was third,
Moore. Several private soldiers met n
like fate. They were all killed close
to the flag, and their dead bodies fell
across one another.
Taking adv antage of this breastwork,
Lieut.. Nettleton crawled from behind
the fence TO the colors. seized them,
and bore back the blood-worn trophy.
The other incident took place at
Gaines Mill, where Gregg's First South
Carolina Regiment bore the brunt Of an
assault upon certain strong position.

The Michigan experiment station
estimates that the loss to that state
last year in the oat crop alone .caus ed
BY smut, was not less than 81. 900. 600.
The station claims that the smut can
be entirely prevented by the use Of
the hot water method Of treatment,
which is as follows:
The farmer may use his ingenuity
in regard to the treating Of his wheat
and oats, and use whatever convent
ence he has at hand anyway so that
he accomplish the desired result.
One way we find convenient is 20
have a kettle in which TO heat the
water quite hot. say 1865 degrees.
Near this kettle place barrel IN

barrel about one half full OF hot water
from the kettle and then by adding
either hot or cold water, the tempera-
ture Of the water in the barrel may
be kept at the desired height.
IL will be found very convenient to
have the barrel in which the seed is
to be treated sunk into the ground
so that the top is only foot or so
above the surface.
Into this barrel dip the seed.
The dipping Is easily done by
placing about bushel Of seed into
coarse gunny sack, and fasten this
sack to one end Of long pole used
as a lever hung across notched post.
The seed should be kept moving
all the time while in the not water
