he intends to retire from politics and

The first national convention of the

for popular investment, the control of
all public conveniences by the govern

of president and senators by direct

night ride; not a soul worth knowing
nearer than Quitman-and only the in
cbriate Potts there! Certainly Mr.
Newton Lambert felt at odds with fate
this sunny December afternoon. He
had tried to persuade himself that the
lsughable stories abou. Close were
grossly exaggerated; but now that he
had met that officer tn: indications
were in favor of their ertire truth.
1t seems that Close had been on some
detached service in connection with the
treedmer's bureau, and had only joined
his regiment late in the autumn of the
memorable yellow fever year, when,
had he So desired, he could have re-
manned away. His appearance at the
stricken garrison when the death rate
averaged 20 day, when .'he post was
commanded by lieutenant, and some
of the companies by corporals, every
body else being either dead, down or
convalescent-added to the halo which
hung about his hitherto Invisible head.
There was no question as to his con-
summate bravery. Grant himself had
stopped in the rear of his regiment and
asked his name after its dash on the
works at Donelson, and the unknown
private was decorated with sergeant's
Chevrons on the spot. Before he had
opportunity to learn much of his new
duties, ''the Johnnies jumped the
picket" one night and stampeded every
body but Close, who was given up for
lost until he came in two days later
full of buckshot and information. His
colonel acted on the latter while the
doctors were digging out the former,
and Close got commission as first lieu
tenant in new regiment for his share
of the resultant benefits. One bloody
afternoon as they were scrambling
back, unsuccessful, and under an awful
fire, from the works at Nicksburg, the
colonel was left writing on the lead

The department of agriculture has
been working for several weeks to get
proof of shrewd scheme said to have
originated in the west. 1t is the prac-
tice said to be now in vogue among
western millers of mixing ten per cent.
of corn meal with 80 per cent. of -four.
Conclusive proof has been secured that
the practice is widely prevalent now.
Flour mixed with ten per cent. of corn
meal cannot be detected in the cook
ing. But the agricultural department,
on the moral ground that honesty is
the only true policy, proposes to ex-
pose the millers' neat scheme to make
profits.
