Marching in the Mud.

~-~e~
Army of the Potomac under General
Burnside was endeayoring to accom-
plish by maneuver what it had failed
to do by direct assault. Terrible as
the cost of Fredericksburg had been,
the Army of the Potomac was still
superior to the Army of Northern
Virginia and capable in skilful hands
of achieving victory.
General Burnside himself had been
resolved on renewing the assault on
Marye's Hill, of leading in person his
old corps. But he had been dissuad-
ed by his generals, some of whom
were almost insubordinate in their
protests. Finally abandoning the
idea of hammering Lee head on,
Burnside adopted the plans of man
euver, which he should have first un-
dertaken.
Ambrose Everett Burnside as corps
commander had been the most popu-
lar of McClellan's principal subordin-
ates. His patriotism was. undoubted,
his devotion absolute, his unselfish-
ness pronounced. He didn't want the
chief command, which was thrust up
on him. Fredericksburg proved his
unfitness for! chief command; but
afterward being still left in chief
command he had to do something.
Therefore he ordered the army to
march up the river to the fords Of
the Rapidan, whereby Hooker in the
were to cross is order to fight Lee at
an advantage. burnside at least and
at last had the right conception,
and he had the force to cause the
venture to succeed, could he himself
supply the generalship.
But he was moving in unfavorable
wintertime. And no more than Ma
poleon, could he successfully cope
with climate. The rains descended
and the floods rose aqd the gallant
Army Of the Potomac with the best
will in the world, literally stuck in
the mud. The march simply couldn't
be made, although nothing hindered
save cold, rain and mud. 90 q
Burnside finally desisted, and on
January ~ Hooker became command
er-in-chief in his place.
Burnside acted we'll under failure.
He was ready to accept any duty the
president would assign him. Lin
coin wrote him that his services had
been valuable and would still be val
liable. Burnside in the autumn was
to hold Knoxville, Tenn, against
Longstreet and in Grants Richmond
campaign was to command an indie
pendent corps, not incorporated I'M
der General Meade's command, but
subject to Grants immediate order.
AS commander-in-chief of an army
in the field Burnside was failure.
Even as a corps commander he was
not Hancock, a McPh erson, Long
street, or an A.zP. Hill, but he was q
devoted soldier, nevertheless, man
who deserved well of the republic.

STATE TAKES ON INSTITUTION.

Louisville, Ky.-The property of the
Kentucky Children's Home Society at
1886 Baxter avenue will be placed in
the name of the state of Kentucky,
and the Governor will have the power
to appoint ten members of the State
Board of Managers out of total of
thirty, and five members of the Execu-
tive Committee of fifteen. THIS is the
result of the recent conference be-
tween Judge r. Bingham, Judge
Randolph Blain, the Rev. E. L. Powell
and Superintendent George L. Sehon
and Governor McCreary, in regard to
the future of the institution. The Wis
iting delegation gladly acceded to the
Governors request for conveyance, OF
the property to the state with the
stipulation that it remain in the state
name as long as the society continues
to act in its present capacity The
other request of the Governor, that he
have power to appoint members of the
Board of Managers and Executive
committee, will necessitate a change
in the charter and this will be given
attention at the meeting of the society
in July. The five members of the
Executive Committee are to be chosen
from the ten men appointed on the
Board of Managers and, according to
the agreement, they must live in
Louisville.

BAD WEATHER FOR CROPS.

Glasgow, Ky.-The farmers of this
section are facing what is feared will
be one OF the most serious droughts
that have visited this section in sever
al years. The extreme cold weather
with dry, cold winds ten days ago, fol-
lowed by the hot, dry weather now
prevailing is telling on vegetation.
Meadows and the oats crop were cut
short early this season by the dry
weather in April and May, and now
the corn and tobacco crops are in dan
ger. Pastures are suffering. If the
dry weather continues the second cut
ting of meadows will be short. In
some sections of the country the grass
was SO poor that some farmers pas
tured their meadows. Gardens are
practically worthless, and the demand
for vegetables is far in excess of the
supply. Vegetables have not been as
scarce on this market at this season
of the year in the last twenty-five
years as now, according to a merchant
here.

LANDMARK is DESTROYED.

Taylorsville, Ky.--One Of the land
marks of Spencer County dating back
to the early days of the nineteenth
century and possibly even farther, was
destroyed when two-story. frame
house, the property of Taylor Hover
ton, was burned. The house stood on
the Howerton farm on the Louisville
pike, about four miles from town. 1t
was the oldest building in the county.
AS originally constructed the building
was of hewn poplar logs. These IN
later years were covered with weather
boarding. AS the latter burned off
the portfolios through which the stur-
dy settlers were wont to point their
guns were revealed. The sight made
for the spectators more real the stories
which have been told of this place,
which was noted as place of refuge
against hostile Indians.

Two Boys Meet Death When Sinai!
Boat Went Over Niagara
Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y.-Donald Ros-
coe, 10 years old, and Hubert Moore,
9 years old, both of Niagara Falls,
went to their death in small boat in
the Whirlpool rapids, while hundreds
of men watched helpless from the
shore. The boys were playing in a
flat-bottom scow half a mile above the
rapids when the rope holding the boat
broke, and they were carried out into
the stream and down the river. The
bridgemen did not see the boat until
it was close at hand. Then they cali
ed fire headquarters and two com
panies of fremen were sent to save
the lads if possible. Hundreds swarm
ed to the river banks in vain effort
at rescue. The boys realizing their
fate, stood up as the boat neared the
edge of the roaring whirlpool and
shook hands in farewell.
