A great many occupations consist in doinq the same thing over and over. till the doing becomes a habit and in- cessant practice produces expertness. But the farmer who lives 365 days per snnum on farm has several times 365 conundrums flung in his face each year, every one of which he must solve or take a whipping for his stupidity Some of them are pretty deep ques- tions some of them seemingly quite trivial and common place. I've once before said a little say about the farmers need for acquaintance with at least the rudiments of several sciences if he expects to get the most possible out of his fields. But the other day in farm paper I saw a letter from an indignant correspondent, who had been stirred up by hearing it said of a cer- tain neighbor: That young man Is too smart for the farm; he ought to go into business" Whereupon the said correspondent sat down and wrote a few things about the kinds of smart ness which farm life called for, sole- ly on the practical side.
 "Too smart" is he7 Let's see. said this evidently posted farmer. So he asked a few questions.
 Can he mend a harness, or make a halter?
 Can he make wagon tongue, even CT. whifhetree, hay-rack. sawbuck, grindstone frame axe handle? Can he put a shoe on horse. or break colt to single and double harness?
 Can he put a cement floor into the barn or cellar?

Now there's no use denying that there are some mighty disagreeable men on farms. Also in factories and in shops and in stores and in banks and in law offices and in railroads. There are likewise some very good men on railroads and in law offices and in banks and stores and shops. So there are on farms. As every tub stands on its own bottom, so every man stands or falls on his own character-not on that of somebody else who happens to follow the same calling. There are a few external differences, due to the de- mands of occupation. The banker whose work is on the white pages of the banks big books must have and invariably does have clean hands. I have heard of bankers, however, where the cleanness did not soak in to any depth--men of faultless fingers and delicatsly manicured nails, and hearts that were never washed with pity nor cleansed from selfish greed. Moreover, l have known farmers with hands stained by the soil and finger nails so broken by their work that there was little left to manicure. but clean in- side-as clean as "a hounds tooth" It is never just 10 judge nen by their outsides; nor is it any more wise than it Is just.

The SD Mass.

Editor National Tribune: Comrade J.
ii. Little, South Paris, Me-, says in The
National Tribune of April 20 that he is
and then says during the past year there
appeared several short sketches in The Ma
tional Tribune referring to the 33d Mass.
In each there were some errors which
ought 20 be connected, while in the main
the articles were all right. | don't see
that he has done much better. He says
he kept diary of the regiments move
ments each day then says the 33d Mass.
on July l, 1863, was in the Third Bri-
gade, Third Division, Eleventh Corps. If
Comrade Little will look over the records
of the 33d Mass. at Boston, he will find
the 33d Mass. was in the Second Brigade
(Smith's), Second Division (Steinwehr's) f.,
Eleventh Corps. He also says Co. A went
out on picket just before the fight of the
second day. So did the whole regiment.
They were ordered out by Gen. Meade to
draw in Hoke's rebel brigade, so the 9Th
Me. Battery tSteyenss) could get chance
to pour in flank fire-which they did, as
everyone who was there will acknowledge.
The regiment went out at a trail arms.
going by the bugle. AT Gen. Meade's
headquarters, when the regiment was so
near the rebel line as to almost look into
their faces, the bugle blew "Halt-lie
down." and when the rebel brigade started
on run for the 33d, to capture them.
the bugie al headquarters blew Get up
about face; iouble-quick," and the 333
Mass. and Hokes Brigade came in to-
getlIer. After ii crossed the low stone wall
the regiment turned and poured six volleys
into the rebels and the 9TH Me. Battery
gave them a vo!ley from its six guns That
did up Hoke's Brigade. Lieut.. Archibald
Waugh was a Sergeant at the battle of
Gettysburg. He was promoted Second
Lieutenant July %, 1863. James x. Little
was a Sergeant throughout the war, and
have been on picket with him many
times know him well. The 33d Mass
was mustered out near Washington, ID. G.. !;
the men went to Readville, then went
home for a week, and at the end of the
week came back to Readville in civilians
clothes. Only eight men stopped at Read
vile in their soldier clothes. Comrade
Little. if you write a history of the old
33d Mass, give, us facts or wait until
the men are dead.-Henry III. Gushee, Co.

Kick or Query?

Comrade 1. 7. Enders, Co. e, 9th Pa
Cav, Harrisburg. Pa, writes: 81 am be
ginning to feel as if / should do little
kicking. or else Mr.. Sampson, of Co. K
2Gth ILL.,, might make us believe that our
army entered Columbia, S. c., July 16
1860, four months after the battle of Co.
lumbns, Ga, was fought, and which they
are about TO celebrate as the last battle
Of any Importance at the close of the re-
bellion. ! lost my diary from Feb. IA
1865, to Feb. "a, 1865, and in that pc
riod we passed Columbia; but whether
the 9th Mich. Cav. was there 1 know
not. but am sure that I did not get in
Columbia, S. c., and was present with our
fegiment-9th Pa. Cav.-all thru Georgia,
South Carolina ami North Carolina to
Lexington. n. G. Do not understand me
to say that Lieut.. Collins, of the 9th Mich.
Cav, might not have been there, for this
reason. On April 13. 1865, | was out on
a scout, when | accidentally came on two
rebels, and before / had their guns in
my possession a comrade of the 9th Mich.
Cav. was with me to assist in the capture,
and then claimed the honor of capturing
them, and wanted to take them to his
regiment. Would be pleased to hear Of
their whereabouts, if those two then young
men are living yet. If | mistake not, they
lived not far from Jonesboro, Ga, where
we received our first greeting, when Sher-
mans army started for the sea. Since !
have gathered this information, and am
in touch with the 9th Mich, l would be
pleased to hear from any of those boys
IN reference to the soldier who was shot
at Lexington, n. C. Boys, stop kicking.
I am grateful for all the country has done
for me. l followed the Flag because [
thought it was the duty Of all able-bodied
men to do so, for the small pittance al
lowed. and now what the Government has
done for us is in recognition of the suf-
fering we had to endure TO save our
country from being divided, and helped to
make it one of the greatest and grandest
countries in the world"
Comrade Geo. w. Jackson, Shoustown,
Pa, who served all thru the war. and was
wounded in Early's attack on Fort Ste
vens. writes: Little did we think when
we fought rebellion to its death that we
would see it resurrected. and behold its
flag floating and hOnored on all possible
occasions and in places where it ought to

DEFENSE OF A BLocKHoUsE.
The Gallant Work of Some Members O
the 4th Mich. Cav.

Editor National Tribune: / am in
formed that few men of the 4th Mich.
Cav. were guarding one of the block
houses between Chattanooga and Bridge
port Ala, IN September or October. 1854.
when Gen. Wheeler. in the advance of
Gen. Hoods army, made the march unon
NashVH!e. These few men, numbering IN
the teens, refused to surrender notwith-
standing Wheeler's force. They were
commando by a Corporal, who received
a commission for his splendid defense. |
write this because | belonged to the 4th
Mich. Cav, and / would like to know
more about the incident. The fact is. Que
regiment whipped Wheeler SO often that
we dld not fear him much. This block
house affair should properly belong to the
history you are writing. The blockhouses
were OF very substantial construction. and
our boys had Spencer carbines, with which
they could kill men as fast as they came
up. The 4th Mich. boys had lost their
horses, and were utilized temporarily to
4th Mich. Cav, Washington, d. G.
There were quite a number of these in
cidents in Hoods northward march. and
we cannot identify the particular one TO
which our correspondent refers. Possibly
some OF our readers can tell us the facts.
There we're blockhouses at every bridge
on the road from Nashville 10 Chatta-
A%DSs"- anu lueuce on 10 Atlanta. and AL
most every one of these was attacked once
or oftener, and particularly during Hoods
northward march. A number of gallant
detenses were made, and the history of
the defenders is an unusually brilliant one
Many of the defenses were never spoken
of in the reports or elsewhere Particu-
larly the defense of one bloekhouse which
commanded the road thru Buzzard's Rocst
Gap. This was garrisoned by about 80
men. and was attacked nv Rates Division
of infantry, with three batteries The ar
tillery concentrated their fire on one cor
ner, and made breach in the blockhouse :;
but still the garrison held on, and at night
a storming party was organized to make
a rush, stop the loophole.s with fence rails,
and a portion of them to get on top of
the house and dig down TO the garrison.
1t finally surrende red, when it was found
that fully one-hrif of the men had been
killed or wounded and the blockhouse had
been untenable for hours. The survivors
were all sent to Andersonyille, and there
