Civil War Deaertions.

The actual number of desertions from
the United States army during the late
Civil War is unknown, but it has been
estimated by the record and pension Of
fice, from the best data obtainable, that
the number of actual deserters at large
at the close of the ars(making due al
lowance for those incorrectly reported as
deserters) was III, PAT.
Many charges of desertion have been
removed by the War Department on the
ground of manifest error in the record
under the acts of July 8, 1884; May II,
1885, and March 2, 1889, and the acts
amendatory thereof. No record has been
kept showing the number of cases In
which the charge Of desertion has been
removed by the War Department, and
it would be impossible to determine that
number, even approximately, without ex'
amining the records of the department
from the war period to the present time

81 say, fellows" said one lad, looking
up from the hole he had been digging
with his toes. "0ld Wa-Mr. Wads-
worth, l mean--does show signs of hav-
ing been a gentleman once. Ever notice
how neat and clean his hands and clothes
always are?
Yes" said Charlie Page, "and he
never forgets to lift his hat when he
meets a lady he knows, mother says"
Lets pay him for those bottles we
smashed" said another.
The old fellow was as grateful when
the boys went to his poor room to pay
what they owed as IL they had made
him a magnificent present.
They had had a taste of doing right
and relished it. 1t was about face" /"
with a right good will. Instead of fol-
lowing him with jests and ridicule and
making a joke Of his infirmities of mind
and body, they took pains to treat him
with respect and kindness.
After while some of the fathers of
these boys began to notice the great
change in their treatment of the old man,
and then to feel an interest in him them
selves. Then the necessary steps were
taken to procure for him an increase Of
the pension, and now he no longer carries
basket of medicine to sell, and he would
almost lay down his life to serve one Of
those boys.-Normal Instructor.

The PASSPORT IN RUSSIA.

You Cannot Move About the Country
without the Document
The train slows down as 1t crosses
the frontier, and creeps gently up to
the platform of the first station on Rus
sian soil. Furtively peeping out of
the window, you behold number Of
stalwart men uniformed in the Russian
style, and-wearing the peculiarly Rus
sian top boots. The. polite conductor
comes to the compartment and bids you
get the passport ready. After few
minutes of waiting, during which anx-
irty is not diminished, an officer in
smart gray-blue uniform comes along,
attended by a soldier with wallet. He
demands the precious document, and,
noting its foreign origin, casts upon its
possessor keen, searching glance.
Then he looks for the allimportant visa
or Endorsement of the Russian official
In the country of issue; and on finding
ii he passes cOldly on without word.
All this is very formal and impressive;
YOU Ieel as pIlSOutI lScio NhCh thS
chain of evidence is tightening around
him; your thoughts wander back to the
past, and you wonder whether any In
discretion of your Insignificant youth
may not now be brought up in testi-
mony against you.
The utmost care is taken in the study
and registration of these documents;
every Russian must Have his passport;
every foreigner entering or leaving the
country must have it, too. Whether ma
tive or alien, you cannot move about
the country without the document;
when you arrive in town 1t must be
submitted to the local police; when you
leave that town the police must indorse
the passport with their sanction to the
Journey. The system gives the authori-
ties the firmest hold over the people;
and wise is the stranger who complies
carefully with every part of the formal
ity.-Chambers' Journal.

place Immediately, and never presume to
enter il again" and she turned into the
house and shut the door. Then she ran
Aup to her room and, throwing herself on
her knees by her bedside, she sobbed and
cried passionately.
At last she rose and went to her piano.
She sat there until it grew quite dark,
singing low, sweet songs to herself, un-
til at last the cloud was chased away
from her face, and bright thoughts be-
gan to bring smiles in place Of tears.
"He must care little for me-" she
thought, "or he would not have held my
hand so long, aud looked into my face
! as he did"
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupt
ed by ring at the bell and she paused
in her playing.
"Some books for Miss Eyre, with Mr.
Hastings compliments" said a mans
voice, to the servant who answered the
door.
When It was closed again she jumped
up and called:
Elizabeth!
"Yes, miss"
"Give them to me, and bring the lamp
please"
And she began with eager delight L
examine the handsomely bound volumes
1t was a happy evening; her new occu
patton chased all unpleasant memories
away, and when she went to bed she haC
even forgotten the existence of Mr.. Fen
ner.

Origin of Memorial Day in South.


An association known as the Ladies'
Aid Society was organized in 1851 for
looking after soldiers who died in Colum-
bus hospitals. They were buried under
the direction of these ladies, who there
after took charge of these graves, making
1t practice to go In body to care for
and beautify them with plants and flow
ers. Upon the occasion of one of these
visits, in January, 1856, Miss Lizzie
Rutherford, a member of the society.
made the suggestion that a specified day
should be adopted upon which a memo
rial service should be held for the pur-
pose of decorating the Confederate
graves annually. The proposition met at
once with the greatest favor, and 4 let
ter was addressed to each of the chapters
in other cities and towns suggesting sim.
liar action on their part.
These letters we're written in March,
1866, and from their publication resulted
the observance of April 20 as Memorial
day for the Confederate dead in several
Southern States.-Mrs. V. jefferson Da.

When Antietam Was Red with blood.

When Antietam Was Red with Blood.
Doubly sacred to the hearts Of many
western families are the waters of An

soned by the blood Of fathers, brothers,
husbands and sons during one Of the
most sanguinary battles of the Civil War.

special interest to the veterans Of the
Eighth Illinois cavalry, the First, Sec

Indiana volunteers, and the Second,
Third, Sixth and Seventh Wisconsin vol

Before the May-time closes;
Pansies blue and white
And blushing buds Of roses.
Blue and white and red,

And Ger each grassy bed

Let this work be wrought
Before the May-time closes,
And bring your loving thought,
More precious than the roses.

Palmer.

George Palmer died in this city Thurs
day night after an illness which he had
suffered from for long while. The
deceased was "a years of age and had
been member of Company Z, serving
in the Philippine army. He contracted
the dysintery while in the Islands and
could not get relief therefrom. For the
past few months he has been in the
mountains herding sheep with the hope
of lettering his condition in the cool
mountain air. The deceased was brought
20 miles from the Mount Adams dis.
trict in two days upon bed made on
the back of horse. He reached the
home of his uncle Charles Dillon Thurs
day and died the same evening. The
funeral was held from the hsuse, which
is situated in the School Section, Fri
day afternoon, the pail bearers being
members of Company Z. Interment in

Sound markets are being made daily.
The early Alexander peaches are about
gone and Hale's early are Just coming on.
Peach plums are over. The Yakima
County Horticultural Union sent out
a carload of Bartlett pears to the eastern
market early in the week, with promise
of good results, as the eastern quota
tons on pears are high this season.
Summer apples are bringing good prices
especially choice stock which in some
cases has netted 81 per box. The ruling
price however, is about 75c per box.
Canteloupes are making their appear
ance, the Rocky Fords ruling the mar
ket at about $3.50 per crate. The poorer
varieties are selling as low as Use. To-
matoes are also on the market quoted at
&c per pound.
The potatoes thus far have been poor
and green, but prices for choice early
Rose stock is good, being $50 per ton
Watermelons are promised next Sat
urday.
The commission men find that while
the fruit is of good quality there is a
lack of interest in sorting and packing
by the growers. If they were more
careful in grading the results when their
statements come in would be more sat

district is probably in the best condition
although in some sections full crop is
not expected. Owing to the cool nights
the lice have propagated to such an ex-
tent that fears are entertained that the
damage will be so great that some of
the yards on the School Section will
hardly be worth the picking. However,
a few days of real hot weather would
probably save these yards. Other parts
of the county are not so bad and in
nearly all yards, nearly, if not quite the
full crop will be realized.
Prices for the new crop promise we'll.
Some contracts have been made at Is
and lsc, and it is said some of the
growers have refused to contract at zoe.
believing that after picking is over and
the result of the worlds hop crop is
known that prices will be considerably
higher.
