An uninua Household Pet.

OF the many pets we hear about one of
the oldest is owned by an Auburndale
CMass.) lady.
1t is an anteatcr and came from South
America. He was named Pete, and has
not forgotten it, for he always answers
to his name. He is about three or four
years old, and when full grown is barely
three and half feet in total length and
brownish in color. Pete has already made
n reputation for himself in the neighbor-
hood as great insect exterminator.
There is no chance for water-roaches or
insects of any lind to exist where Pete
is, as he is continually looking for bugs.
Ant-eaters in their wild state are bold
little creatures. attacking the nests of
wasps, putting his little paws in the nest
and dragging out the grubs. They have
two claws ON the front paws, which they
use to dig the insects from the bark OF
trees. He is also a great mouser, and
will watch at a mouse-hole all day. Yet
his food consists mostly of bread, milk
and fruit The nature of an ant-eater
Is to feel for food or insects with Mis- nose,
and pick it up with his tongue. He is
great chums with the dog and cat, and
will go all over the house up and down
stairs, bu. prefers the coal bin in the cell

Corps.
The great military problem to be worked
out was the capture of Vicksburg, and the
opening of the Mississippi River. The first
and most difficult step was to gain foot
hold in the State of Mississippi, where the
army could be assembled, and from which
it could operate against Vicksburg and its
lines of communication. An army must
have a constant supply of ammunition.
food and forage, and must have wagon
train or other means for transporting these
supplies. Yicksburg by nature is highly
defensible position; skillful engineers had
produced there one of the greatest defen-
sible works ever constructed by man.
Gen. Sherman, who is universally recog-
nized as capable military critic, has left
on record the statement that Sevastapol
was not naturally as strong
position as Vicksburg. History re
cords the fact that on Sept. Z,
1854, the English and French fleets
guarding the transports of the two coun-
tries set sail from Varna for the Crimean
peninsula; that on Sept. 10, the fleet con
veying the allied forces hove in sight of
Sevastapol; that the troops effected a land
ing at Eupatoria, 35 miles from Sevasta-
pol, Sept. II, without opposition; that the
battle of Alma was fought Sept. 20; that
operations against Sevastapol were at once
begun; that the battle of Balaclava was
fought Sept. %, where the charge of the
Light Brigade made that famous 600 inn
mortal; Marshal st. Arnaud wrote: II
wish TO take Sevastapol quickly and make
myself master of the Crimea, IN order to
be able to choose an advantageous battle
ground where | can wait for the Rus
sians."
In the case of the allies, the combined
fleets established and held base for sup
plies. without interruption during the
whole of the siege, forcing the Russians
to destroy and sink their own fleet. The
siege was prosecuted with igor, but sew
astapol did not surrender until Sept. 13,
1855, just one year from the date of the
landing of the allied armies.
1t was we'll known by Gen. Grant, Ad-
miral Porter and all the prominent Off
GERS of the army and navy, that Vicksburg
was well fortified ON the river front with
a number of batteries of heavy guns; that
there were strong Notifications six miles
below Vicksburg at WarrentOn, and also
that Grand Gulf, at the mouth of the
Big Black River, was well fortified and:
held by strong garrison.
