John Sharp once ran afoul of Tom
Reed. This is the way he tells the
story himself:
81 met Mr.. Reed coming out of the
cloakroom. and he said to me in that
peculiar drawl of his, Williams, what
ever makes you such bitter parti-
SAM
"'Well, Mr. Speaker, that's pretty
good coming from you, isn't it?' 1 re-
piled.
"'Never mind me- he replied. But
why are you such bitter partisanr
'"'Well. I'll tell YOU l said. You
know I never saw a Republican until
II was thirty-eight years old and
cant get used to them somehow

walked away without another word"

The Best F. ftiIiZer for Seedip <
Down.

Farmers who are looking for frst-
class fertilizer for seeding down in the
Summer or Fall will find it in the fol-
lowing formula. This formula was
devised by the Director of the Yer
mont Experiment Station at Burlipg
ton and published in Bulletin No. 116
of the station The amounts named
are for one acre:
Raw Ground Bone, 300 to 400 lbs.
Acid Phosphate, 100 to $50 lbs.
Wood Ashes, 300 to 400 lbs.
Muriate of Potash, so to 20 lbs
The ingredients of this mixture are
all recognized as valuable fertilizing
agents but with the exception Of
Ashes they have heretofore been diff
fcult to obtain in the markets of
Vermont. This condition is now
changed and all the materials of this
formula-except the Ashes, which the
farmer can usually furnish himself
can be purchased of Carroll s. Page,
Hyde Park, VT, who will be pleased
to make quotations on application.
The Muriate of Potash and Acid
Phosphate he sells are the purest that
can be bought and his Raw Ground
Bone is guaranteed to be absolutely
pure and the best the market affords.
The Bone which he offers is simply
the finer particles that are sifted out
of the coarser GRADUATED Bone that
goes into the manufacture of his
Page's Perfected Poultry Food. It
should not be confounGed with the
Bone ordinarily offered by the trade
as that has usually been steamed Or
treated with acids. It will be usually
found that practically all the nitro
genous elements have been removed
so make glue, thus taking away
the most valuable part of the bone.
If you are interested in the matter of
Summer or Fall seeding or of Fertili-
zers for any purpose, write him for
information and prices, mentioning
this paper.

FOUGHT TO A FRAGILE.
The Startling Battle Losses of North
Carolina Regiment.

GdFOtina HeSlWcnI.
On the 1st of July. 1863. band of
$50 tall. lank Carolinians shouldered
their way down the Cashtown pike
among the butternut battalions of Lee.
Fresh from a long Through. the burst
ing files of stalwart yeomanry. Zeb
Vance's boys-the Twenty-sixth regi
ment-marcheI cheerily on to Gettys-
burg. good food for powder" old war
dogs wUr II say.
1t is IA old story how the Co Ned
crates under Heth clashed that day
with the Federal cavalry and infan-
try under Buford and Reynolds. Heth's
leading bhgades plunged across VIII
loughby creek, dropped Reynolds with
a chance shot and were themselves
quickly destroyed. Heth's reserves, led
10y Pettigrew and Brockenbrough, rush.
ed to the rescue, and the three days
combat was begun.
The Twenty-sixth North Carolina
was on the left of Pettigrew's brigade
and crossed the creek abreast of Nc
PhersOn's woods, where Sol Meredith
Iron brigade and Rowley's Pennsyl-
vanians were forming line. The con-
tinual shifting of the Federal regi-
ments from position to position led the
Confederates TO look for an easy vic
tory. but every step of their march re-
vealed a new foe.
In the pathway of the Carolinians
Coopers Pennsylvania battery was
posted, covering the interval between
ROwley's men and the Iron brigade.
CoOpers guns showered the butternut
ranks with grape, and eleven color
bearers in the Twenty-siXth were shot
down during the struggle with Mere
dith, Rowley and Cooper. The Tween
ty-fourth Michigan of the Iron brigade
fought against the Carolinians, and it's
loss that day was the highest in the
Federal army on the field of GettyS
burg. The One Hundred and Fifty
first Pennsylvania, also opposed to the
CarOlinians, lost 20 per cent Of its
men, killed and wounded. After the
battle the positions held by the FEEDER
al regiments could be distinguished by
the rows of dead who had fought till
they fell In defense of the roads to
Gettysburg. But the TwentysiXth
North Carolina had got as good as it
gave. At roll call that night only PIG
men were shown to have come through
unscathed by bullets. Captain Tuttle's
company went into action with three
officers and eighty-four men. All of
the officers and eighty-three men were
killed or wounded. The remnant of
the Twenty took part in Pickett's
charge and attacked the line of Smyth's
brigade. in HancOcks corps, near the
Bloody Angle It came out with only
eighty men fit for duty.

Paradise Lost and Won.

Many an amusing incident Of army
life is given in Lew Wallace's autobi-
ography. For example, he writes thus
of a tented Paradise" which was lost
and won at the battle of Shiloh: with
in our lines there was drinking tent,
on which was written Paradise 1t
was taken by the Confederates in the
first days fight, and the yictors wrote
beneath its name Lost By Beaure-
CARDS order all camp furniture was
left intact, as he expected to possess
the whole field in the morrow's strug-
gle. The Union army recovered their
ground by the second days battle, the
pleasure tent was retaken, and to the
two names was added the word Re
gained"

BLOODY CRASM BRIDGED.
By Law the Late rebellion" Is Now
Called the "CiviI War"

Called the "CiViI War"
The 'civil war;" and not the war of
the rebellion" will hereafter be the
legal and official designation of the
conflict which followed the secession
of the southern states. This was de-
cided by the United States senate not
long ago in passing the service pension
bill. which provides pension for all
soldiers who served ninety days or
more in the Union army and have
reached the age of sixty-two.
The first bill declared that their serv-
ice must have been rendered during
the late war of the rebellion" Senator
Carmack offered an amendment, which
was accepted, improving this phrase to
during the late civil war"
Senators Frye and Bacon, each rep
resenting an extreme in fractional feel
ing arose at the same time to urge
this change, thereby showing a dispo-
sition to bridge the chasm.
Senator Teller precipitated the de-
bate by insisting that the secession of
the southern states was a rebellion
and that no man who fought in the
Confederate army need mind being
designated as rebel.
Senator Money said he served four
years in the Confederate army and did
not care a rap if he is called a rebel.
George Washington was a rebel for
! eight years." he said, land l do not
mind if the term is applied to me-" He
| thought the historical title given the
! conflict should be 'the war between
| The states"
Senator Bacon spoke at length in
| favor of using the expression civil
war;" taking especial exception to be-
ing referred to as a rebel. He admit
ted having served nearly four years in
the Confederate army, from which he
emerged a captain, but declared it was
in no sense a rebellion.
Senator Patterson suggested that the
proper expression would be "the war
of secession" but this did not seem to
meet with much approval, and civil
war" won.
The bill as passed gives every civil
war veteran aged sixty-two a pension
of So per month, those seventy years
old SIS a month and those seventy-ive
years or over $50 per month. Veterans
of the Mexican war were also included
in these benefits by an amendment
! adopted
