Death OF Gen. Garnett.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The old
boys get history mixed when writing from
memory at this late day. The rebel Gen.
X. $. Garnet was killed at Carrick's Ford
Cheat River, Va, by Serg't Il. +. Burlin-
game, Co. Il. 9TH Ind; at least, he is so
credited in Indiana's Roll of Honor. The
writer was not in the three months ser
vice, but has heard the story told by the
boys that were present, The 18th Ind,
under Col. Dumont, had been following
the rebels from Laurel Hill, or Bealton,
and had Oyertaken them at Carrick' $
Ford. Col. DumOnt threw the regiment
into line, part of it standing in the river.
on a cliff, trying to rally his men,
who had stampeded. A slender youth
stood by his side. Burlingame and Will
lam Wheeler, both stepped out of the
ranks and fired. Both the General and
the youthful soldier fell dead.
B. f. Burlingame went out in the three
years service as Second Lieutenant of Co
A, 7th Ind, and William Wheeler as Ser
geant At Mine Run, November, 1863,
Wheeler was shot by Confederate sharp
shooter, and died few days. later from
the wound.

shooters on Mississippi River steam
boat long after the war and from his de
scription of the place and circumstances
Of the wOunding, and what was done at
the time, ! am confident that this Alabama
man fired the shot that killed Wheeler.
He gave an accurate description of the
ground held by the skirmishers of both
armies at that point, and other facts that
he could not have given had lie not been
there. The Sergeant Major / mentioned
by Silas BenEam in recent issue was
Major in the Ith Ind. in the three months
service, and the same Gordon that became
so famous as criminal lawyer at Indian
apols since the war. He defended and

to possess good horse, a Mexican saddle,

them, light long-range gun, brace of
Colts reyolvers, a good blanket, some
form of oil-cloth, and canteen of brandy
suectened with honey. When he had
these things, or some of them, he was

A Curious Plant.

"a curious plant" said an eminent
botanist to the writer day or two
ago, lis the wild tamarind or juba
plant of the riverside and waste places
of tropical America, and very strange
are its effects upon the nonruminant
animals that feed upon its young
shoots, leaves, pods and seeds. 1t
causes horses to lose the hair from
their names and tails. has a similar ef-
feet upon mules and donkeys and re-
duces pigs to complete nakedness.
Horses are said to recover when fed
exclusively on corn and grass, but the
new hair is of different color and
texture from the old, so that the ami
NAL is never quite the same as 1t was
"One animal of which l personally
knew, after feeding on the plant, lost
its hoofs and had to be kept in sings
until they grew and hardened again.
Rllminant animals are not thus at
fected, and the growth OF the plant IL
actually encouraged in the Bahamas as
fodder plant for cattle, sheep and
goats. The difference is probably due
to changes effected upon it in the
chewing of the ud."-Washington

Parson Pearson OF Maine is a TEN.
perance crusader who has won the ad.
miration OF the whole country with
the possible exception OF those whom
ne has put out Of business, and every
move that he makes places him Just
so much higher up 10 the estimation
OF his fellow citizens. He is not a
crank or fanatic and best Of all be
is not hypocrit. He was elected for
the purpose Of proving to the pc ople
that the liquor law can be enforced
and be is executing that policy accord
ing to his promise without fear or
favor. Many obstacles have been
thrown IN bis way but he has over
come them all and now at the
beginning Of his fourth month In Of
fice he is going at the violators of the
law with renewed vigor and with ne wv
ideas to assist him in accomplishing
his task more thoroughly. When in
tervlewed by newspaper Nan April
lst, Sheriff Pearson said: "The close
OF my first three months in office
marks the beginning Of iother effort
to stamp out the sale OF liquor in
Cumberland county. In the three
months just passed we have in many
ways accomplished much more than
was anticipated; in other ways the
progress made did not approach ex.
pectatlons. We have encountered nu-
merous obstacles. Many have been
overcome, but few remain. The
most serious blow to the line Of
campaign mapped out at the be-
ginning Of my administration was
recent ruling in the municipal court
that certain beers are not intoxicating
within the meaning Of the law.
Under this ruling many saloons which
closed their doors Dec 3lst have re.
opened and are now doing business
However. further seizures are to be
made, and l am confident the final
ruling will be In our favor. On the
other hand, not drop Of hard stuff

and l am confident that before my
term OF Office comes to close the
liquor traffic in Portland will be at
the lowest ebb in it's history" If
Vermont had half dozen Parson

towards settling the liquor question
in three months than all the local
option and anti-saloon leagues can
accomplish in as many centuries.
