An old colored female one day ap-
preached Towards column of Sher-
mans Georgia army and entering into
conversation expressed great surprise
as to where they all came from. wag

very productive field away up north,
where he raised them at the rate of q

The Age OF Sheen,

The age of sheep is very easily
shown by an examination of the teeth.
A lamb has the first pair of permanent
front teeth when about 10 months old
the second pair appears at about IS
months; the third pair at % months
and the fourth at about 80 to 40
months. When the whole of the per-
manent front teeth have appeared the
sheep is in its fourth year. The Meri-
no natures it's teeth later than the
other breeds; the Cotswold and South
downs and other highly improved NUT
ton sheep are some months ahead of
a Merino, but at years every sheep
has its full mouth of teeth Later
the age is known by the appearance
of the teeth, which gradually lose their
sharp edges and become worn down
smooth. A healthy sheep will keep its
teeth good until 10 or II years old,
If the pasture is not unusually bare
and the soil sandy, SO as to wear the
teeth excessively.

And how do you account for that?
should say by the character and
quality of the men of which our regi-
ment was composed.
"Of course, every man that served
in the army is proud of his old regi-
ment, and thinks it was the finest ever,
and no doubt they all have reason for
their pride but ours was certainly a
good regiment. 1t was raised in Au-
gust and September, 81, when the three
months campaign was over and when
the North had settled down seriously
to the prosecution of the war. 1t was
enlisted for three years, unless sooner
discharged, and it is stating it temper
ately to say that it's ranks were filed
with men of serious purpose, who knew
what they were about, and who enlist
ed from a sense OF duty.
And what fine lot Of men they
were. Coming from all the walks or
life, characteristic men of their native
State, a whole regiment of men of in
telligence, quick to learn a soldiers
duty, understanding fully the necessity
for discipline and always obeying or
ders; regiment that soon came to
have tne carriage of veterans; regi-
ment that stayed where it was put,
and went where it was sent; regi-
ment whose own officers and men al
ways regarded it with pride, and which
was always likewise regarded by its
brigade and division and corps COM
manders. A good old regiment.
And now, after four years of serv-
ice, and forty-three years after the
close of the war, there are still 2S7
of the old boys left. 1t is splendid to
think Of.
Many of the men who were older
When they enlisted, men Of 80 or 40
then, have gone, and there are no really
young men among the survivors, and
in the nature of things their ranks
must grow thinner and thinner, but
among them there are still hardy men,
good for many years yet. And of the
old regiment there still survive 237
men. A fine lot
