THE JfttlVATE SOLDIER IN THE LATE V/AR.
The Private Soldier in the War ol tin:

stolen, possibly. Wo do not know where
he is. Hat he is not here. He lias $;oue

to be necessary.

about him. Occasionally he appears
??n the pension list, with one leg, a wife and
seven children, and eight dollars a month.

he deprived even of the occasional glimpse
we now have of him.
It is asserted, and <juito generally believed.
that at one time he was quite numerous,
and was even considered rather convenient
"ff not, indeed, quite indispcusiblc. It was
*' found that upwards of one hundred of him
were necessary in order to secure uierc lines
of commissions for three eminent and deserving
men. When field commissions
Were wanted for three even more eminent
and great uion, ono thousand soldiers were
necessary, thousand! It seems an
enormous number now, when by consulting
the Congressional Directory, we find there
arc none in nil this proud liepublic.
j>ut twelve or fifteen years ago even that,
Incredible as it may appear to us to-day,
was considered a small number. They were
private soldiers; there were even hundreds
of thousands of them.
And they were useful. They dug trenches;
they coustructed long lines of breastWorks,
aud then, when the enemy ciuic
within sight they climbed -over them, and
went outside of them to fight. They worked
and watched and fought. Co-opcratiug

rendered very useful service iu winning
great battles. Oh, they were useful
Some historians have even gone so far as to
maintain that without them the war could
hardly have boeu carried on. They were
really <juitc useful. Aud now they arc all
gone.
It seems sad, looking back at the war.

and Majors and lino officers should have

a lack of eminent men, kind of forgot the
private soldiers and let them wander away.
And so they arc all goue. Some of them
got shot. Some of thorn got married and
moved out of the world, to .settle upon tracts
of (iovcrnment land, where the Indians
could get at them more easily. Some of
them went into business. Some of them

it seems dreadfully lonesome without
them. There used ?o be so uiany of thein

In a Uoat with a JIattlesnak k.?
One dark night recently throe men living
near Caseyville, on tlie Indiana side of the
i Ohio, started to go over the river in a skill
which hud been laying against the bank for
' several days. They gut into the boat and
the oarsmen pulled vigorously for the other
shore. When about sixty yards from the !
bank the man in the bow suddenly cried
out that bo heard the hiss of a rattlesnake
in the boat. This caused a thrill of horror
to run through all, and in a (lash the
oars were stopped and all sat listcniug, but
not a sound was heard. They concluded
that it was a false alarm, and the oars be
gati to rise and fall. Again the man in the
Lew uttered the warning and again the boat
was stopped and all listened in dire fear,
but no sound was heard. The skiff was
then payed mtosb the river to Cascyvillc,
whore the man at the stern jumped out into
the water. al'raid to go through the boat.
Procuring a ianfern at the hotel they went
down to examine the boat and found a rattict>n
ke with eleven rattles coiled under
the oar.-lnm's scat. The deadly rcptiic was
dispatched, to the intense relief of his fo|.

d o'clock this morning, Fd. Hayes aud Oscar

Harris to artesl his son for being concerned.
Harris opened his window and tired two
barrels of a gun into Thomas' face and
stomach, killing hiui instantly. Hayes returned
the tire with a revolver, shooting
Harris in the neck and arm. Harris ran
and was overtaken about a mile from the
house and returned to jail. As morning
came, the matter was discussed. Crowds i
gathered ut (lie Public Square and attempts
were made to force ?he jail. A mob organized
and boarded traius to present the militia
or officers coming from abroad. The crowd

through the city and the mob became more
and more excited. About noou a colored
boy was driven from the Square and fired
at. He got two shots in the back and head,
but was not seriously hurt.
As evening approached, the mob withdrew
to the woods west of town, organized,
masked, and waited until 10 o'clock and
then marched into town like Ku-KIux, silently
and in good order. The jail was
guarded by men with shot-guus and one
piece of artillery, but the guards were
quickly overpowered, and Hayes, the
Deputy Sheriff, thrown down and the keys
taken away, while the mob' and crowd fired
guns and revolvers, so as to creato a panic.

^^^dng. I believe it better lor a farmer
than ou one alone ; for, how often doessouioj
particular crop become a complete failure ? |
Then where are the funds coming from to i
meet store bills* pay taxes, the minister and '
printer? Some years there is so much of!
o 13 product raised that it is very low, audit'
you happen to depend wholly on that crop,
where aro you then ?
Xow, if you practice mixed husbandry it
is entirely different; for you aro almost certiin
of some crop for a good selling price ;
hence, you can boon surer footing than ifyou
raised simply one kind of crop, especially if
your capital i> limited; for then you cannot
afford to wait until another crop ca:i grow ;
accordingly 1 believe it always was the surest
and best plan, for the young fanner especially,
to grow a variety of crop.?
The most independent farmer is the
one who has more than 0110 crop to depend
on. The farm is a place where all the
different varieties of food can be raised,
and it seems to me the object of the farmer
should he to grow all of such kinds of food
?s he will need to consume in his family
and feed to his stock ; or, in other words,
let nothing be bought that can bo grown on
tho farm at a fair cost.
If we can raise wheat at SO cents per bush
el, can wo ufloi'ti to ouy it attfl.zu : or, 11 \vc
can raise our pork at ?."> per hundred, can
wo afford to buy it at ei^ht cents por pound?
Let a farmer who ban practiced mixed husbandry
for a term of years, turn his attention
to, and labor wholly upon one crop,
and if he docs not deny himself souie of
his customary luxuries I shall bo very much
mistaken."

LEAnilR SUCCESSFULLY TANNED WITH
GEEEN PINE STRAW.
Duriug tlio war my brother, A. II.
Washington (of Nashville, Tcnu.,) was superintendent
of the clothing department
undeV Maj. G. W. Cuuniughau), and he informcd
uio that an Englishman had been
experimenting for twenty years to find sonic
material foar,tauning, which would shorten
the tints leave the hide pliant, so that
a large amount ot oil would not bo uccessary.
Allgrkils however had proved futile
until chance threw him into the Confederate
States, where ho tried an experiment
with green pine straw with complete success.
My brother showed me samples of
sheepskin tanned in eight days?calf
tanned in eight weeks, equal to tho best
American calf?and sole leather evenly
taiiicd through in four months. A longer
time for the latter would no doubt have
prod uled better leather, but the cmorgencio
of the service required au abridgcmcntvf
time, and tho pine straw enabled
the tidnflro to Gil the requirements. Since
the \^ir the French havo used spirits turpentine
