Not long before he died, Gen. 40
ner Doubleday related an incident Of
the Commandment of EOst sumter. 1t
seems that there was a number of
Irish workiugmen in the fortress when
the bonn bardment began. The Irish
men were asked to help man the guns
against the rebel ships, but they stood
aloof Finally Gen. Doubleday with

fort was badly battered at their EN-

Grain for breeding Ewes.

In answer to the question il it pays
to feed grain to breeding ewes Mr..
Craig, Of Wisconsin, says that it does,
and relates the experience Of two
breeders in the matter. One had a
flock Of $50 ewes. He stinted them,
giving them no grain whatever. A
carload Of oats was shipped from his
farm because he considered them
too good for sheep From these 100
ewes only 10 lambs were raised last
year. That is an extreme case. but
it shows in strong light the rela-
ton Of grain feeding to profitable
lamb raising. Another breeder In
the neighborhood had ~ breeding
ewes and from these he succeeded in
rearing 81 lusty lambs. His ewes
were well fed ard received grain.
You will find that ewes fed little
grain will give you heavy clip Of
sound wool and lusty lambs. II the
ewes 60 into winter quarters in good
condition in the fall do not give
them any grain until few months
before lambIng.-Farmers Voice.

Where our comrades now sleep;

In their graves beneath this tree,
Side BY side now they sleep.
From the battles they are free;
They are tenting in the clay,
And their sleep Is profound;
Read their names as yon Nalz

When in beauty and strength,
From their prison Of clay,

When the trumpet shall sound
To awaken the dead

Much Opposition in the Senate to
Foreign appointments.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Tbe senate
was IN executive session for two hours
today ami had under consideration the
following appointments heretofore
made of outsiders of various Indian
agencies:
w. l.. Hargrave. OF Indiana, at Sho-
ShOne; lSa1c j. Woolen, OF Delaware. at
Nevada; Robert NJ. Allen, of Missis-
sippi, at White Earth ;JoSeph A. Smith,
of Illinois. at YanKtOn, and James Rob
insOn. of Missouri, at NeZ Perces.
A tight had been made in committee
against the confirmation of these men
because Of the fact that their nomina-
ton was considered violation of the
home rule principle and the committee
on Indian affairs made an almost unani-
nous report against them.
When, therefore, Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, who is chairman of that COM
mlttee, took the initiative in the effort
to secure an executive session, it be-
came understood that the appointments
would be taken up in secret session. aud
that some plain words would be spoken
concerning the presidents course which
he might never hear. Contrary to eX.
pectatlons. there was comparatively
little speech-making. Senators Davis,
Stewart, DUBOIS and Shoup, as the rep
reSentaJives of some of the states al
fected by the appointments. made pro-
tests against the policy, ami Messrs.
Davis and Stewart spoke quite emphat-
ically against the course pursued by the
president when there was as good ma
terial TO be found at home.''
No effort was made to reach a vote
upon the combinations because of the
discovery that was made before the ses-
sion was half over that there was not
quorum of the senate present.
Because of this absence of a quorum
there was no effort to return to open
session at the close of the executive
business and the senate adjourned.
