In speaking of the present movement
to enhance the value of the museum for
the public DIR. Hough said:
The National Museum has always
had the idea of education in view. not
only as concerns the District of Co
lumbia but in the case of the whole
United States. People do not learn any
thing deep down, or so that 1t Is OF
permanent benefit to them. until they
are made to wonder at 1t. That is what
the mission of a museum should be, to
make people wonder.
I'VE have not put on exhibition every
thing we have. Some of that is for ex-
hibition purposes and other parts are
solely for study purposes. But l think
it an admirable thing to exhibit only
part of a collection at one time, ana
then be able to vary it from time to
time"
+
In explaining DIR. Holmes methods or
displaying the exhibits DIR. Hough said:
1T consists in placing the most inn
portant groups in the most prominent
position in each hall-groups that show
the class of man exhibited at his labors
and in native dress, something which
does not need a long explanatory card,
but strikes a responsive chord in tha
visitor and arouses his interest at once.

ming the mill rushed out to see what
the commotion was, only to find the
mill yard in possession Of Co. A.
1t was then about o'clock in the
evening, and heavy rain storm was
brewing, which have always thought
was our salvation. The lieutenant
called us together, and gave us orders
to set fire to their camp, get all the
horses ready, detail guard for the
prisoners and be ready to march IN
the quickest time possible.
I gathered up firebrand out Of
their campfire, and started in the first
tent in the line, and kicked up the
straw and applied the torch.
In few moments we were on the
raarch, and by this time the rain was
falling in torrents. The lieutenant,
Instead of starting towards the Bluffs,
started on the road to the main rebel
camp, but only followed 1t until we
were out of sight Of the houses that
surrounded the mill, and then took to
the woods again.
We got into Pine Bluffs the next
morning about l o'clock.

Our three years service expired
I Aug ., 1864, and on the 18th Lieut.
Groves, in command of Ia men of Co
| A and IL of Co. B, 7th Mo. Cav, left
Pine Bluffs, Ark, at daylight on a
secret march of So miles south to a
grist mill, which Gen. Clayton was
| anxious to know whether the rebels
were operating. We were guided by
| Columbus Mari, who lived In the
netghorhood of the mill He was loyal
and brave.
About noon we stopped back of q
field, where the guides mother, wild
ow, lived. and about three miles from
the mill. AS soon as our horses were
rested we started for the mill through
the timber. We had not gone far until
we could hear the throbbing of the en-

Co. A, 7th Mo. Cav, of Milton Iowa,
In National Tribune. We went within
80 rods OF the mill, when the neuten-
ant concealed the command In a
thicket and gave US orders to remain
quiet until his return. He and the
guide left.
In about an hour they returned, hav-
ing gone inside the rebel camp to
house which was not more than 200
yards from the mill, occupied by a
Union family. AS our guide was per-
sonally acquainted with the family and
knew he could trust them, he had one
OF the girls go to the mill under the
ruse Of having some milling done, and
get all the information she could In re-
gard to the location Of their camp and
the number Of soldiers there, which
she did.
The lieutenant called us around him
and said: Gen. Clayton sent me to
find out whether or not the rebels
were running the mill, which they are.
There are 100 men running and guard
ing It; there are 10 now at the mill
and 80 on a scout between here and
Pine Bluffs, and have started since
noon. Two miles south of the mill is
their main camp, occupied by 1000

A tall, lank fellow by the name of |
Nichols Strengthened himself up, and |
said: Lieutenant, we don't want to
use ourselves up like we did today |
without getting one shot" "All right"
said the lieutenant; mount your
horses"
We were now about 80 rods north
east of the mill, and their camp was
800 southwest. We made circuit I'M
til we were almost west of their camp
and about zoo yards from it, when we
halted, and the lieutenant told Sergt.
Smith Of Co. B, to take IL men of his
company and charge the camp, and he
would take the IA from Co. A and
charge the mill, and gave me orders
to take those left Of Co. A and not
come into the mill yard until all of the
men were in.

BULL TERRIERS

On account of the fact that we have
not the time to write personal letters
in answer to all of our correspondence,
we beg to submit this circular letter
which in general way describes The
Pit Bull Terrier, and our dogs of that
breed.
The Pit Bull Terrier is cross of the
English Bull Dog and the English
Terrier. He is fully as game, much
quicker and mare intelligent than the
Bull Dog; and retains all of the alert,
wide awakeness Of the Terrier.
There are two types of Bull Terriers
the Bench dog which is bred for
show alone, and which is commonly
known as the English Bull Terrier,
and the Pit Dog. The bench bred dog,
which is or should be, pure white, is
not necessarily game. The Pit dog,
has been carefully bred for hundreds OF
years with that one idea, gameness,
until he is now, probably without ex-
ception, the most courageous animal
in the world. AS guard for the hen
roost or stable he has no equal, and his
instinct to protect his masters family
or his masters property is as finely
developed as is that of the Collie to
drive cattle or the Pointer to find birds.
He is a perfect companion for a walk
or drive, and lady accompanied by
such a bunple of energy and loyalty
has protector which will defend her
with his life.
AS fighting dog he is of course the
only dog. If properly trained he will
fight as long as he can stand, and then
some, in fact it often occurs that two
well bred dogs of this species will both
die in the pit without either making
sound of complaint or an offer to quit.
We have been carefully buying Snd
breeding for years, raising and keeping
only those perfect in style, conforma-
ton and gameness; and we are confid-
ent that better bunch of dogs was
never gotten together than our present
kennel Of five dogs and twenty five
bitches, representing as they do all
the famous strains of fighting dogs
such as Bob-taiIed Bob, Delihant's
Paddy, Robinson's Terry, White Lion,
Judge Lynch, Swineford's Saxon
Black Brandy, Schofield's Paddy,
Burnett's Cyclone Dublin, Toby, Re-
nown Pat, and others equally as good.
We sell healthy pups without fault,
weights at maturity 25 to 80 pounds,
black, pure white, solid
brindle, tan, red, faw, buckshin, or
mature as fast fight
ing, hard furnishing dogs, willing to

Pellagra---What Is 1t?

According to half dozen of
our best known authors, Pellagra
is disease commonly found in
Spain, France and Italy, thought
to be caused by the use as food
of damaged or diseased maize,
(corn) and like other vegeta BILE
poisons produces serious trouble
in the digestion and nervous sys-
tens. even in some instances
may cause death, but according
to these same authorsis endemic
which means that it is neither
epidemic nor sporadic and there
fore not easily conveyed from
one individual to another. Church
and Peterson state that it acts
much like ergotism, which is an
other grain poison.
Butler states that tits unknown
in America, but is quite common
in Lampardy, and that the body
of the patient becomes almost
coal black, but does not make the
statement that the disease is
contagious infectious or capable
of being conveyed from one in
dlvidual to another.
Dorland states that Pellegra is
endemic and not epidemic, Meth.
err sporadic and not of germ
origin, but of fungus cause,
much like other vegetable pois-
ons such as ergotism, ptomain
or potatoe poisoning. XXX
