The wheels will all be humming,

They will sweep corruption from the land

When the Pops take toe country and the

eLoopY POND.
A Historic Spot In tho Battlefield .
ChicknmnuRs.


Chicltnmnuga.
The confederate veterans spent the
last day of the Chattanooga reunion
upon the battlefield They came
down by train loads and scattered in
all directions to go over the ground on
which they fought With rarely an ex.
ception this was the first visit since the
battle. Scenes and experiences came
back with marvellous distinctness. A
little south of where the hardest fight
ing was done there is a peculiar de-
preston. The country road curves to
avoid one side of it. The other half
breaks in upon q cornfeld. Natives
call the place sink. Water collects
there. Bloody Pond" the place is
called. Many of the veterans walked
down to look at it as soon as they left
the cars. As they stood around the
edges they told of the sights they
saw there in the closing hours of the
battle.
There is more forest than farm in
the topography of Chiclsamauga.
Springs arc few, and, although each
farmhouse has well, there was no
water supply for fighting army. In
making provision for the three thou
sand veterans the Chattanooga COM
mittee had barrels of water hauled
from considerable distance. 1t is
not difficult to understand what must
have been the condition when the one
hundred thousand soldiers We're march
ing and counter-marching, charging
and retreating, over these ridges,
across these fields, and through these
pine forest glades.
So long as they were resting on
Chickamauga river, or so long us they
could reach it from reasonable dis.
tance, the confederates relied upon that
for water. But Sunday carried the tide
of battle two miles to the west of the
river. And then it was that Bloody
Pond received its name and became one
of the historic spots on the field.
Wounded men by hundreds dragged
themselves toward the pond. Some,
crazed by feverish thirst, utaggered to
the edge and threw themselves in.
Many died. as they lay there within
sight, begging for just drop. When
Monday morning came there was nc
more horrifyipg scene than that pre-.
sented in and around Bloody Pond.
Corpses hoated on the water and corpses
lay higher than the pine cones ali
around the edges. Both armies were
represented in the ghastly scene.
I'VE could drink anything in the
form Of water those days" one of the
veterans said, as he looked at Bloody

work. Openings are left for the head
and feet, and it now crawls about car
rying it's artificial case and devouring
several victims each day. The full
grown larva is much larger than
bark louise and as it grows it's case is
built out with silk and fragments of its
victims.
When full-grown it searches for
favorable position in which to fasten
its case usually selecting the angle
formed by two branches or large
crevice in the bark), prepares its CO.
coon and transforms to pupa. Before
transforming, however, the Larvae pre-
pares a point of exit for the future
moth. Upon emerging from the CO.
coon the moth falls to the ground.
Three or four minutes later its
wings expand and it flies up among the
branches. During daylight it remains
motionless, holding its wings close
to its body. The possibility of trans
porting the insects from place to place
has received attention. 1t is found
that the half-grown larvae will live
eight days without nourishment. Nor
will they destroy each other as is the
case with most carnivorous Larvae.
Placed in bottles they can be trans
ported long distances, and a. the end
of the journey need only to be placed
upon plants or trees infested with bark
lice. The cocoons containing full
grown larve will also stand journey
of eight or ten days. In winter the
cocoons or eggs can be sent great dis
tances and there is no reason why they
cannot be acclimated in all countries
where the injurious bark lice prevail.

engraved from Insect Life, issued by

culture, chronological section.

BARK LICE DESTROYER.
A Prcdaceous Insect which Feeds Upon
Harmful Parasites.

A Predaceous Insect Nhlch Feeds Upon
Harmful Parasites.
The insect Erastria scitula belongs
to the order or family of Lepidoptera
(this order contains all insects having
broad, thin and usually bright-colored
wings, as butterflies, moths, etc) This
member of the family is small moth
of Jhe night-Hying variety. 1t occurs
most commonly in foreign countries,
but has lately been found in the west
ern part of the United States. Being
of predaceous Tor preying) nature it
has come to be factor in the life his =
tories of numerous shrubs and trees,
particularly the olives, feeding as 1t
does upon the coccidm Tor bark lice)
which infest those trees. There are
five successive annual generations.
The first appearance of the adult oc-
ours about the middle of May; the next
generation about a month later. About
the middle of July third and very
abundant generation Is found; the
fourth appears near the end of August,
and the last month later. The first
and last generations are generally few
In number owing to the scarcity of
| food at those seasons OF the year.
The egg-laying period lasts several
| days, each female producing about one
hundred. They are deposited, one at a
time, upon leaves or young buds, and
are often laid directly upon the backs
OF bark lice. AS soon as Matched the
larva enters the bark louse, devouring
the internal organs, leaving only the
shield-like covering which is more or
less thick and hard. AS soon as the
| contents of one bark louise has been
| devoured the larva abandons it and
seeks another. Burying itself in a new
victim is but the work of few min
utes. When about ten days old the
larva, while under the covering or shell
of one of its victims, begins the con-
struction of silken web about itself,
using the bark louise shell as frame.

no attention to us, which seemed to me
to be queer. He didn't even respond
when the corporal spoke, and we watt

come straight ahead then, paying no
attention, and mighty near knocked
the corporal down, but he got ou. of

the rest of us to keep still. Twice he
passed up and down the beat, and the
third time the corporal took him by

THEY RUSHED OVER THE OPEN.

pits in front of our brigade AS our
side of the ridge was nearly perpen-
dicular, it became nice question how
to get the gun into the position pre-
pared for it, but Col. Woods and Capt
Landgraber, of the First Missouri
artillery, were equal to the occasion. A
spur of the ridge projected northward
and terminated rather abruptly about
two hundred yards from the main
ridge, and from this point the start was
made.
Everything being ready, and each
man in place, Capt Landgraber's voice
sounded the commands: Forward"
The horses seemed to know it was nec-
essary to put forth their greatest
strength and speed. for in less time
than it takes to describe they had
rushed over that three hundred yards
of open, unprotected ground in plain
view and short range of the enemy.
The confederate works swarmed with
men observing closely the whole pro-
ceeding from start to finish, and per-
feet storm of bullets fell around that
heroic gun crew. but they accomplished
their object without man being hurt.

seems almost a miracle that gun

three hundred yards-every foot of the

My pen is not able to portray that
scene, nor is my gift of language suf
ficient to describe it in the manner it
deserves l can only say every man
engaged in that artillery charge, from
captain to private, was hero, whose
conduct deserved the highest praise.

INSECT GODS.
Strange Fables About the Sacred Beetle
of Egypt.


of Egypt
Primitive observers never suspected
anything so commonplace as the pres
ence of eggs in the middle of the ball
the beetle had made; that sort of ex-
planation belongs only to the age of
science. The Egyptians saw the beetle
bury the pellet, and they saw new
beetle emerge from it in due time, and
they leaped straight to the not un-
natural conclusion that here was a case
of spontaneous generation. The pious
scarab, they imagined, buried the balls
of dirt as they themselves buried their
mummied dead, and new scarabs sprang
from it under the vivifying rays of the
supreme sun god, as the glorified body
would spring in the end from the dried
and withered dust of the human
mummy.
1t was as an emblem of the resur-
rection, then, that the scarab attained
such immense vogue in the Nile Valley.
Nothing could be more natural than
that mummy-malling race should see
in its proceedings an undoubted argu-
ment for the Immortality of the soul
and proof of the continued existence
of the spirit after death. Everything
conspired to produce this impression.
The earnest way in which the good
beetles devoted their lives to the pious
task of rolling their balls of manure to
the chosen burying place was a lesson,
as it were, to careless humanity to
look to the end-a perpetual coleop-
ferrous memento mort.
All sorts of strange fables rose up
| accordingly about the sacred insect 1t
seems that for twenty-eight days the
balls remained under ground, through
| whole lunar revolution. During that
| mystic time the beetles grew within
by spontaneous generation. On the
twenty-ninth day, which the insect
knew as the moment of the conjunction
of the sun with the moon, the ball
| opened of itself and forth sailed, in
full divinity, newborn scarab. Later
on, when the cult of Ra, the sun god
| became the chief element in the wor
ship of Egypt, eclipsing and absorbing
| into itself the earlier ancestral wor
ship of Osiris, yet another point o.
sanctity was discovered in the scarab
The balls he rolled behind him Sc
assiduously, being round and revivi
fed, were considered as emblematica
of the SUMS disk, and the beetle him
self was almost regarded as an avataI
OF solar deity. To such pitch o
Ilty may honest industry and ster
ling earnestness of purpose lead in tn,
end even a despised carrion beetle

ublquity of Micro orgnnIsms.

Heterogeneous are present in the
air, the water and the earth. They
are not only on the earth, but the upper
layers of terrestrial crust are teeming
with them. They are carried by the
atmosphere as dust and deposited upon
the surface of all objects. They exist
in vast numbers upon and in the human
body. They are present with the body
in life and do not leave it in death until
it is resolved into the elements. Hence
there can be no doubt but they are an
important factor in nature.-Ohio Dem

When our army under Gen. Grant
closed in around Vicksburg we took
possession of the outer line of works,
the confederates falling back to the
next line These works were long,
continuous trenches on the crests Of
several ridges surrounding the city in
the form of semicircle having It's base
on the river. Between these ridges
was narrow valley having the same
general course and direction as tho

The brigade TO which the writer be-
longed had its position on the north of
the city, extending eastward from the

made north to Haines' Bluff on the
Yazoo river. After securing the outer
lines so easily we were ordered to
charge upon the next line on May 10,
and again the 22d of May, if my MEM
ory is correct
These two assaults proved unavail-
ing but quite disastrous to us, so Gen.
Grant concluded to try the slower but
safer methods of a siege. In pursuance
of this idea our brigade commander,
