READY WITH THE MATCHES
An Illinois Soldier Who Was eady
to Destroy Dispatches IL
Necessary.

"a good many slOfles, edlu tno
captain, according to the Chicago In
ter Ocean, ''are yet to be told of the
army foragers. On one occasion on
the march from Savannah to Colds
boro, the longest, by the way, ever
made by an army in modern times,
the boys who pushed far to the front
intercepted the correspondence be-
tween Wade Hampton and Gen. Beau
regard. Hampton had been ordered
to stop Sherman's army at all haz-
yards, and he returned the order with
the Endorsement: All h can't stop
Sherman's bummers.'
''This showed such appreciation on
Hampton's part that the boys rather
liked him, but they gave him lots of
trouble and lived up to the reputa-
ton he gave them. They pressed for
ward every day into the enemy's
country and became resourceful in
organizing and resisting attack. If
they came on company or regiment
OF confederate cavalry, the bummers
did not fall back on the main force,
or scatter before the confedera ties,
hut, acting on a system of their own,
formed line, and skirmished until
reinforced. More often than other
wise, the foragers of one division
rallied to the support of those of an
ether and beat off the confederates
before the advance guard of the
army came up.
''Under such training men became
reckless and venturesome, but they
became also self-poised and resource
full. Most particularly was this true
of the bodies of mounted men whose
duty it was to keep open communica-
ton between the several columns adj
vancing on different roads. I have
in mind 20 or 30 members of the
Twentieth Illinois infantry, who were
mounted and served as sort of body
guard to Gen. Leggett. They formed
really an independent company, en-
gagged in all sorts OF expeditions and
duties. All of them had seen three
years service, and were particularly
well-fitted for the duties assigned to
them by general and staff officers.
"When we were near Bentonville a
squad from this Twentieth Illinois
company was sent across the country
carrying important dispatches. They
met the enemy's cavalry and the few
men deployed at once as they would
have deployed had they been sup
ported by full regiment. While they
engaged the enemy the officer in COM
n,and sat coolly on his horse striking

Glue for Pork Pies.

Pork pie fanciers in England are
disturbed. A firm of glue manufac-
turers has published the fact that a
customer who bought large amount
of glue asked if there was amy
deleterious material in it. On inquiry
it was found that he meant to use
the glue in making pork pies, and
the sale was Cancelled.

SOLDIER WHO STAMMERED.
He Was Regarded by Gen. Lee ~
Capable of Fighting for
His Country.

A story which shed new light on tho
character of Gen. Robert E. Lee has
been unearthed by Mr.. Charles Il. Bish-
op, of Petersburg, Va, and is repeat
ed in Lippincott's Magazine. The
story is found in some correspondence
which recently came into Mr.. Bishops
hands.
During the fighting in and about
Petersburg the case of Private Nell
son Fans, Fifth Virginia cavalry, was
brought to the authorities. Fans
stammered badly, and was for this
reason regarded as unfit for service.
The official correspondence with the
Endorsements tells the story:
petersburg, Nov. %, 1852.
''This is to certify that have at
tended Private Nelson Fans for
some time, and have known him for
some years. He shutters very badly.
and I think makes poor soldier
unfit for active service.
"JOHN H. CLAIBORNE, Surgeon"
Next comes a recommendation from
the quartermaster's department.:
Petersburg, Nov. ~, 1862.
Respectfully forwarded to Gen. g.
w. Smith, Richmond, with the request
that Private Nelson Fans, company
X, Fifth Virginia cavalry, be detailed
to serve as teamster in my depart
ment Surgeon Claiborne states that
he shutters very badly. He will, how
ever, answer as a teamster.

This is the pithy way in which Gen.
Lee disposed of the case:
Headquarters, Fredericksburg,
November 80, 1862.

words in the discharge of his duty.

No Irish There.

Two women were discussing the question of where they could spend the summer, on street car recently. A woman, evi- dently of Hibernian extraction. sat directly across the car and could not fail to hear all that was said
 "I went to the beach last year. said one of the women; "but I shall not go there again; there are too many Irish there. The place is getting too dread fully common.
 And l." said the other, went to the mountains, and 1 must confess that 1 found the same fault. The Irish were plentiful and 1 shall not go there again"
 This was too much for the old woman, who, getting up and starting for the old woman, who, getting up and starting for the door, remarked:
 Well, yez can both go to hell there's no Oirish there!"-

New Line to the Coast.

A dispatch from Santa Fe, N. M., says: "A large surveying party is in the field for the Cim- arron 6 Taos Valley railroad, making a survey for a line from Taos to Ojo Caliente, and from the latter point northwest into the Canyon Largo, striking the mouth of the canyon on the San Juan river, thence west along the river to Pennington and through Arizona to California, San Diego being the object point. A road built along the proposed survey would be the shortest trans continental line by 150 miles and would pass through a good timber, coal, mineral and live stock country as we'll as a section of the rich est fruit and agricultural land in the southwest. The Cimarron & Taos Valley railroad is to start near Maxwell at the junc- ton of the Sante Fe and the Dawson railways. Messrs. Hal Ter and Koehler have charge of the surveying party, which is fully equipped for it's long trip. The Dawson railway. although & branch of the Rock Island, IS said to be owned by the Cobra do & Southern and the Colorado Fuel & Iron company.

Measuring Hay.

There has been considerable inquiry for a method of measur ing hay i'll the stack. 1 enclose copy of a bill recently introduced by myself in the legislature of New Mexico.
 Section 1. The following rule and method of measuring loose nay in the stack and specifying the cubical contents of a ton of loose hay is hereby established.
 Sec. ,. Measure the stack for length, width and the "over," To get the "over," throw a tape over the stack at an average place from ground to ground, drawing it tightly. Multiply the width by the over and divine this result by four; multiply re- suit of division by the length of approximate cubical contents of stack. To reduce to tons, for hay that has stood in stack less than 20 days, divide cubical con- tents by 512; for more than 20 and less than 60 days, divide cu bical contents by 422; for more than 60 days, divide cubical con tents by 380. Example-Stack measure, 17 feet wide, 58 feet long and 36 feet over. Stack has stood 15 days. Multiply 17 by 36, equals SIP. Divide 612 by 4, equals 153. Multiply 153 by length, 58, equals 8874, which gives the cubical contents in feet. Divide 8874 by 512, equals 17.3 tons in stack.
 I have carefully tested this rule on several different stacks and kinds of hay. Hay measured in the stack under this rule will bale out in weight to 5 per cent. of it's measurement, which is far closer than any other rule of measurement I have ever been able to get hold of, and in draw ing up this law and the investil gation preceding it 1 secured over 50 different systems of measurement from almost every part of the United States. .-Wm. c.

 Mike Lane is an old desert ter rapin who is known in every mining camp from Virginia City to the Mexican line, says an ex- change. He is an interesting old Irishman and a natural wit. Some years ago in Death Valley he had an experience with a burro which he tells of i'll this way:
 q had got about five miles from Ballarat, when 1 ran across a dyke of magnetic iron ore. l was examining it when noticed that my burro had stepped onto a bare spot on the dyke, and as he had shoes on, he stuck there. I tried my best to pull him off but it was no use. 1 couldn't budge him an inch, and all the nails in my boots were pulled out by the iron when went close to him trying to raise him up."
 q went back to camp and soon returned with some drills, a hammer, and powder and fuse. 1 was going to load hole and
