fThe Upward Turn Already IToted in
the Pittsburg Market
HAS BEEN MORE THAN SUSTAINED.
X Ttrj Decided Improyement Tbronchont
the Entire Field.
JDST A TEIFLE SETTEE IN TEE SOUTH
The upward movement of iron and steel
noted in onr report last Saturday has been
more than suttamed. In tome lines there
hare teen inrtber advances, and in all iron
and steel products there is great firmness,
with an upward drift. Bessemer iron is
particularly strong, and our quotations are
advanced in accordance with stubborn facts.
The general situation has ceased to be in
favor of the buyer as it has been for a few
months past. The volume of business tbis
. week shows a marked increase on last week,
" nnd it is no longer possible to place future
orders at present prices.
Blooms and billets have joined in the up
ward moTement and our quotations are ad
vanced. The demand for rails and nails is
also more active than it has been for some
months past, and, while prices are not ma
terially advanced, markets are mnch firmer.
Old rails are higher, a sale being reported at
120 per ton.
Manufactured is in better demand, but
prices are unchanged.
The same is true of structural iron.
The general situation shows decided im
provement. Following are the latest quotations:

take care of, and a great deal his been re
fused all at full current prices. Furnaces hes
itate to formally advance prices tintil they
are sure the position can be maintained
throneh the summer.
It looks, however, as thouah this point
would be reached early in June, as nearly
all the producers arc full of orders for one
to four months ahead of make. The in
quirv for charcoal irons and -Ohio softeners
is also better. Prices are firm all along the
line, and the tendency toward an advance is
pronounced.

A EETTEE DEMAND.
There Are BXnny filore Inquiries and a Knm.
ber of Small Order.
tsrzcxu. TELraEAM to Tin dispatch.,
Philadelphia, May 30. Iron makers
and the manufacturers of structural iron
all report a better demand. There is more
inquiry at prices very close to those at
which products are held. Small orders
are more numerous and business is
more active. The low-priced irons
are firmer. One correspondent ot
the Iron Age proposes that furnace
men bank their furnaces for two weeks.
This would reduce the production by
200,000 tons and it is argued would relieve
the pis iron market or all surplus stock.
The process of restriction of output is
practical in the coal trade. It can be
successfully enforced in the oil business.
The trust has tried it with the sugar in
dustry. It remains to be seen whether the"
iron industries can be so thoronshiy con
trolled that a complete shutdown could be
brought about. The imports ot pic iron
for the first quarter of 1890 were 36,810 tons
against 49,410 tons in 1889. The imports of
iron ore, however, increased 212.000J to
412,117 tons.
A lair ranee of quotation is 518i8 50 for
2fo. 1 foundry, $1T17 50 for No. 2 and
15 5016 for gray forge, delivered at tide.
Therq is more inquiry for Bessemer iron at
52020 50 at the furnace. Hot blast char
coal, delivered, will command $2224 per
ton, and cold blast $2527. Steel rails in
small lots are moving at $32, but
inquiries lor large quantities will not
exceed f3131 50 per ton. Muck bar
iron is unsettled at $28 0028 50 per ton at
near-by mills. Bar iron is a trifle firmer at
1.851.90c per pound for the best refined.
Skelp grooved delivered brings 1.75c and
sheared 1.952.05c There is a better tone
in the old rail market at $24 0024 50 per
ton. Angles at the mill will bring 2.10
2.20c per ponnd; tees, 2.602.70e, and
beams and channels, 3.10c.
SITUATION IN" TEE SOUTH.
What Iilitle Change Is Noted Is In the Line
of Improvement.
BlKMlNGnAai, Ala., May 30. The iron
trade is a trifle better this week, without any
material change in prices or any indications
of a change for some time to come. Demand
has been active, but most offers for large
lots are a little below ruling prices and are
declined. If all offers were accepted all the
stock in the district would be cleaned out
in a week.
A number of sales to new buyers have
been made this week, but none of the orders
were large, and all were for early shipment.
There is scarcely any selling or contract
making for iron to be delivered later than
July 1. Buyers say it will be lower then,
and sellers claim it will be higher, so they
find no middle ground on which to trade.
No. 1 foundry is still quoted at $12 50
cash f. o. b. at the furnaces, with .No. 2.
Ill 50 to 12 00.
There is no stock accumulating in the dis
trict, as the steady flow ot small orders for
immediate shipment uke almost the entire
output of the district All the furnaces in
the district are now in blast and the average
weekly output of pig is 15,000 tons.
The DeBardelebeu Coal and Iron Com
pany sustained a serious loss br a fire which
broke out in their Blue Creek coal mines
last Saturday. The flames spread through
several chambers and gained great headway
before pipes and hose could be laid to flood
the mine. The fire was not gotten under
control until Wednesday. The loss will
amount to thousands of dollars to the com
pany and 350 men are thrown outof employ
ment. The fire was caused by an explosion
of fire damp. All the miners escaped with
out injury.
TJKTJSTJAX ACTIVITY.
Featnres of Frnlt nnd Vegetable Trade Dnr
intr. the Woek Supplies Abundnnt
Batter and Berries Cheaper
Iiarne 8nlen of Flowers.
The featnres of markets for the week past
have been the drop in butter and strawberries.
Supplies in both lines are far in excess of de
mand, not only here, but all over the land.
Butter has not been so mnch of a druc in the
past decade, nor have prices been so low. "At
Elgin the best creamery is slow at 14c per
pound, and good country butter is poor stock
here at 10 to 12c per pound In a jobbing way.
The housewife who navs SOo for coantrv butter.
as It is reported peddlers are getting this week
at the East End, is paying 33 per cent above the
actual value.
The week to come will be the best of the year
for stran berries. A fair article has been
selling as low as lie br the crate within a day or
two. The best should be had at 15c per quart
In a retail way. In vegetable lines supplies are
coming In freely, and quality is improving
wuiio prices are aocumng. new oouinern
potatoes are coming In freely, and prices are
fas approaching old stock.
The greatest activity the past week has been
in the flower trade. Sales were larger than
any week of the year, or any previous year.
Some of our florists report inability to meet
orders. It is evident that the annual sacrament
of flowers in honor of the martyred patriots
is every year gaining a firmer hold on the
popular heart.

The East End Natural Gas Company
started the drill on their property on
Broad street, west ot Hiehland avenn
East Liberty, yesterday afternoon. The
territory has been thoroughly examined by
experts, who claim it is unusually promis
ing. It is within the 100-foot belt One of
the principal promoters of the enterprise re
marked yesterday: "I am certain of one of
four things gas, oil, water or experience.
Either will be worth the money invested."
PIttsburs Leads the World.
Nearly all the churches and better class
of residences of the East End are illuminated
with the electric light, which consumers
find cheaper, cleaner and less dangerous
than gas. The appreciation of its benefits
is best illustrated by its rapid growth,
there being in use in January, 1889, 4,147
lights; in January, 1890, 11,220 lights; and
in May, 1890, 16,148 lights, "an increase in
1889 of nearly 300 per cent, and for the first
five months of 1890 an additional increase
of 50 per cent, consumers paying by meter
at a rate equal to gas at about $1 per 1,000.
Pittsburg has more incandescent electric
lights than any other city in the world,
having upward of 50,000 16-candle power
lights, nnd which, at the present rate of de
mand, bids fair to reach 75,000 during the
present year.
Local Securities Picking; Up,
There are abundant indications of a re
vival of stock trading in this city. Buy
ing orders are on the increase, and a ma
jority of the securities have a firmer tone.
If investors would only show a little more
nerve improvement would be prompt and
permanent. The worst properties on the
list are safer than the best that are being
constantly boomed in "Wall street. They
are not hid under a bushel, but can be in
vestigated at any time. That such securi
ties as the tractions and electric light should
labor under constant depression is unac
countable. They represent interests of
prime utility, and are susceptible of indefi
nite expansion. When they are extricated
from their entanglements, legal and other
wise, it is almost certain that they will be
leaders of the market. They are being
steadily absorbed by a few far-seeing capi
talists, in anticipation of large profits.
Natural gas stocks also possess merits that
are not fully recognized. With an abund
ant supply, and no symptoms of exhaustion,
they should be among the most active feat
ures of speculation.
Real Estate Values.
In regard to real estate valaes, a broker
who stands high in his business remarked
yesterday: "Business property in choice lo
calities may stiffen a little more, as, also,
property in some of the East End wards, es
pecially in the vicinity of the Schenley ,
Park, but all others, I think, are about at
the top. While I look for a good, active
market for several .years yet, I do not anti
cipate mnch change in values. The demand
for building lots is so great that there is no
prospect of a break in them, but I think
prices will "be maintained. All in all, I
think values are high enough. Almost any
advance would drive buvers out of the mar
ket." Anx'oaa About a Dividend.
There was considerable talk between stock
brokers yesterday over the delay of the
Electric Company in declaring a dividend.
Many expressed the opinion that it had
been passed, although no notification to that
effect had been sent out. If so, it will prob
ably cause a stampede among holders. A
broker said yesterday that he had been
offered several hundred shares of the stock
at40.

Belmont, W. Va., May 30. Two more
big" wells have been added to the list this
week. The Hart barnyard well, on the T.
N. Boss, is now throwing out her 400 bar
rels a day, and is not nearly through the
sand. The Island No. 2, a few hundred
yards bejow the Island Beauty, came in
Wednesday, and is holding ber record up to
30 barrels an hour. There are two other
wells drilling on the island, and both of
them bid fair to be good producers. This
property is the subject of a suit for S150.000,
the plaintiffs Ibeing Charles Best and
Thomas Lockwood, of Marietta. The gen
tlemen claim to hold a lease that super
sedes the one held by the Two Brothers
Oil Company, and are going to try the
st1?nF hand of the law to gain possession.
Shingleton No. Vowned by. the Belmont
Oil'Company, was shot on Thursday, and
responded with the most beautiful spurt ot
oil ever seen by any oil men of any field.
She was almost f nil of the pure stuff, and ten
quarts of nitro-glycerine lifted the oil about
CO feet above the derrick. The sun was
shining at the time and no rainbow ever dis
played a finer variety oi colors and shades
than that stream of pale green
oil. And what is more to the point,
the well, which had started off a few
weeks ago at 200 barrels, and had
run down faster than any other well in the
field until she reached the 25-barrel mark,
rose immediately to the 200-barrel, gauge
once more. Immediately after her the
Graveyard well, which had come in a duster
save for a slight show of oil, had 40 quarts
put in her. Her response was not so nota
ble, either for beauty or profit, but neverthe
less she will probably do 25 or 30 barrels a
day for some time to come, and is one of
that class ot dry holes that pay for them
selves. Three wells are due to-day the Perry
well, the Blacksmith shop well and Shingle
ton No. 3. The first of theseis on the Ohio
side of the river, and not far trom the Erie
del No. 1, a 50-barrel well. As this well is
a little nearer the large wells than
the Friedel, she will very likely
have a greater capacity. C. B. Hart is the
principal owner. The second one, owned
by ths same gentleman, is on the land
of T. N. Boss, and about 100 yards from the
Barnyard well, mentioned above. She is
gassing already, and the crew are busy mov
ing her boiler, preparatory to bringing her
in. The third one is about 150 yards up the
river from the Island Beauty, on the "West
Virginia side; and if position has anything
whatever to do with the caliber of a well,
she wili certainly be a dandy.

Chicago, May 30. Bogers, Brown & Co.
say: Instead ot the dullness so common in
the Chicago market at this period of the year
we have unusual activity. Buyers are
rather more plenty than sellers at current
minimum prices. The bargains that were
going in Southern irons have disappeared.
Xjocai brands also are firmer. .Lake Superior
charcoal irons are so well grounded on what
the makers consider bottom, that oilers on
large lots at 50 cents per ton under asking
figures are promptly declined.
Inquiry lor malleable aud car wheel irons
is heavy and rather iu advance of usual
buying time. Ohio strong softeners and
eilvenes continue to find ready sale in small
lots. Taking the situation all around there
is without doubt a more hopeful feeling and
better outlook in all branches of the iron

An Observer Snvs Tbnt the Best Troops
Come From Highlands.
Lieutenant Peter Leary, Jr., of the
United States army, in writing of the Na
tional Guard of Vermont in Outing for
June, pertinently asks: ''Does some moral
force dwell in the environment of the
mountains that gives the martial
spirit to the people who inhabit their
slopes? An observer who was in South
America in an official capacity dnring the
war between Uhiii and .Feru in 1881, and
who was professionally habituated to look
critically at soldiers, saw a division of
Chilian troops pass in review in Lima
during the Chilian occupation. They were
remarkably uniform in physical qual
ities, the tallest being not more than
fire feet eight, and the shortest not
less than fire feet six inches. He pro
nounced them the finest troops he had seen,
and said that their exploits in the field were
as fine as their appearance on parade. They
were fair exponents of that noble race, the
descendants of the Basqne people on one
side, and the native races on the other, or
fathers who went from the mountains of
Northern Spain to marry the daughters of
the mountains of Chili, and to found the
model republic of South America on the
Pacific
"As a rule the men of the mountains make
good soldiers. Prom the early davs of
Thermopylae they have faithfully stood in
tne passes, or, leaving home for service,
have distinguished themselves on everv
field they have fought in. Probably there
are no better troops in the world to-day
than the swift-moving Bersaglieri of the
Alpine provinces of Italy. Like other
mountaineers, the soldiers of the Green
Mountain State have always made a good
name for themselves. Whether repelling
the attacks of Indians on the settlements of
New Hampshire grants, or marching with
eccentric Ethan Allen to Ticonderoga, or
fightingwith Warner at Hubbardton, Stark
at'Bennington, or Macomb on the Saranac,
the Green Mountain boys have reflected
credit on their country."

years, and wouldn't be going out there
now if these cars were not running.
That part of the city has been neglected sim

sure with this road running in that direc

then a car came along, and by this time, no

Thousands Supplied Where Only a Few
Hundred Are Needed.
Trom a "Topic of the Time," in The Cen
tury for June, we quote as follows: "During
the past two years from 8,500 to 9,000 manu
scripts were annually submitted The Century
Magazine tor publication. This is an in
crease over previous years, and does cot in
clude the hundreds, perhaps thousands of
propositions submitted with regard
to articles. As there has been an increase
in tne number of periodicals published in
America oi late years', and as the news
papers are publishing more contributions
than ever by writers not on the regular staff,
it is evident that there has been an increase
in literary activity at least in proportion to
the increase iu population.
"Now, out of 9.000 manuscripts a year the
Century can only possibly print 400 or less.
It follows that editing a magazine is not un-lir-e
walking into a garden of flowers and
gathering a single bouquet. In otherwords.
not to accept an article, a story, a poem, is
not necessarily to 'reject' it. There may be
weeds in the garden there must be weeds
in the garden bnt the fact that a particu
lar blosiom is not gathered into
the monthly bouquet does not prove
that the editor regarded the blossom as a
weed, and therefore passed it by. It would
be impossible to sweep all the flowers into a
single handful. The 'rejected' or declined'
are naturally prone to gibe at sympathetic
or apologe'tic words from editorial sources,
so we present the above simile with consid
erable diffidence. There is truth in it,
nevertheless! And it would probably be
much easier for editors to make up a num
ber of bouquets from the flowers at their
disposal, than to gather the single one for
which alone thev have room."
rcoiiBKsroKDExcx or the dispatch, i
Topeka, May 29. How will the Supreme
Court' decision affect Kansas? is a question
that is and will be asked many thousands of
times by non-residents of the State. How
do the people of Kansas like the decision?
is another that will be formed by as many
tongues. The answer to the first que'stlon
is that liquors will be sold as freely in this
State as in day in the Union. Secondly, a
portion of the inhabitants of this city don't
like it, and another portion are even now
smiling" over the decision.
Saturday evening your correspondent was
.walking down Kansas avenne when he no
ticed a crowd standing on both sides ot the
street near No. 417. He likewise stood
about to see what the trouble might be. It
was not long before he felt that the very air
was charged with the word's "original pack
age." The crowd spoke the words with
bated breath, as if fearing that the city
police force would swoop down on them
if they were snoken aloud. Ladies
and children passed! hurriedly, causing one
to imagine that he saw their faces blanch.
Occasionally one of the crowd more bold
than the others would start down a flight of
steps into the basement of the above num
ber, but before doing so he would pull his
hat down over bis eyes as far as possible.
In a short time his head and then his body
would emerge from the cellar, and he would
start off with nervous haste.
It seem that the citizens cannot realize
that they are not breaking the law when
they enter this placfr the first saloon that
has dared to open its doors to the long-denied
public since the liquor decision.
HOT A GILDED BAKKOOM.
After halt a dozen starts, as many times
turning back, the correspondent went down
street a few blocks and started up on the
same side where the original package store
stood, and before any of the crowd were
aware of his intention he was in the cellar.
It is not just clear how he got there, but he
remembers having fallen down the last half
dozen steps in his haste, and feeling very
mucn embarrassed. The "largest mirror in
the world" aud a dazzling display of bottles
did not meet his eyes, but a comparatively
empty room. In the center stood a long, low
table, covered with newspapers, back of
which stood the bartender, not dressed in
Hotel Anderson style, but with hat on and
coat off.
Seven men stood at the table or bar,
each and every one pleading at the same
tim fnr 'a inapt nF k... " Knf tli.
" UU.kW. WVl., MU. IUBJ 1E,
informed by the bartender, who at the same
time pointed to about ten cases of that fluid
which stood in the rear of him, that there
was all that was left, and as-it was in cases
'could not be sold by the quart as it had
been earlier in the day. They left after
casting longing, lingering and loving
glances at the casks.
This saloon is the only one that has thus
far been opened in the State, but it is stated
that dozens will be opened iu the following
week. At present another, also in a base
ment, on Madison street, is being put in
readiness to receive the crowds that are ex
pected, and to deal out liquor to. those who
want it and to "dump crusaders in a well,"
as the wife of the proprietor stated.
PUECIIASING SUPPLIES.
Ever since 1881, when the prohibitory law
went into effect, there has been a compara
tively large trade carried on between this
city and other Kansas towns and Kansas
City. This was done with the aid of the
various express companies. A party wish
ing to purchase liquor would forward his
money by express at any time in the day,
and by evening would have the 'amount he
had ordered. Liquor can also be obtained
at drug stores, in cases of sickness (?) by
the party signing an affidavit that he is in
need of it. As a consequence a few intoxi
cated men are seen on the streets. They are
considered a great curiosity until they are
taken ont of sight by the police and lodged
in the city prison.
Seyeral days ago your correspondent saw
a couple of hundred people collected about
an intoxicated man who had committed the
innoceut offense of falling down in the
doorway of a restaurant. It was at noon,
and the crowds eating their dinners left the
table to witness the unpardonable act of
the monster. The comments on the occur
rence were numerous.
On another occasion the writer heard a
conversation between a Methodist minister
and a member of his church. The church
member opened the talk with, "I saw an
original package down on the avenue
about two hours ago. It was leaning against
a gas lamp and its face looked like one of
those red clams." After further talk on
the same subject, he said: "I notified the
police where they would find an original
package and I suppose he is now safe be
hind the bars." It will be noticed that the
subject was still fresh in his memory after
two hours.
and therefore do the cause more harm than
good. One of .the parties spoken to said he
knew quite a number of men who voted for
the prohibition amendment and would do so
again. These men, he stated, always had a
supply on hand lor their private use,
but did not want saloons in
the State. "But lust as soon,"
he continued, "as the temperance people
undertake to say they shall not have intox
icating liquors inside the limits of the State
for their private use they will oppose such a
move vigorously." Others spoken to think
that matters will come out all right if the
people have patience, and they are of the
opinion that the State should be the one to
place restrictions on the sale of the bever
age, as heretofore; that it should remain a
police regulation of the State.,
It has often been stated in the East by
travelers that beer can be obtained here
easily. Such is the case, but the beer is non
alcoholic, and therefore, no matter how
much a man may consume, he cannot be
come intoxicated.
It appears to be the understanding of the
people that "eternarvigilance is the price of
liberty" from rum, as there are always more
or less meetings being held in the interest
of prohibition. Last Sunday the W. C. T.
IT. had voting in all the churches of this city
as to whether prohibition had been a benefit
to 'Kansas, morally and materially, and as
the election was held in church the vote was
unanimons. Later a party said he could
cite incidents to show that Kansas was
neither. morally nor materially profited by
forbidding the sale of liquors. "Pujuring
one's self at a 'drugstore, as one incident,"
he said.
PACKAGE HOUSES PXOUEISH.
But the days of the last incident are past,
for a short time at least, for the original
package houses in their victory will boldly
face and tempt those who thirst. The
toper's railings will be heard again on our
now quiet streets. No license is required.
No trying trial to go throughas in the court
of Allegheny country. The saloon keeper
here will not need to be of "good moral
character." They can launch in the busi
ness as they could in Pennsylvania beiore
the days of the Brooks law and Judge
White.
At present the party who stands on the
original package at 417 Kansas avenue,
proclaiming victory, is acting as agent for
a Kansas City house and receives 50 per
centoi tne sales, which are very large. Me
also advertises His business in the daily
papers.
The original packages are at present oi
only a quart meaures, and are brought to
this city singly on prairie hay in box cars.
It is reported that a Kansas City liquor
dealer has given a large order to a tin can
manufacturer for all sizes of tin cans to
send into this State in single pieces without
fear of breakage. These will be unloaded
at depots into wagons in bulk, and then put
on ice when received by the saloon keepers.

EXTBAVAGANCE OF WOMEN.
The Exception nnd Not the Rale When They
Bnnkrnpt Their Husbands.
Ladles' Home Journal.!
Women are frequently accused of ruining
their fathers and husbands by willful ex
travagance, with an emphasis on the ad
jective. They probably do assist at their
downfall, in repeated instances, not
from willfulness, but from lack of
understanding of the value and uses
of money. The idea of any normal repre
sentative woman being so malignant,' or
reckless, or inconsiderate as to .gratify her
taste, her love of adornment, or her sense
of luxury, with any consciousness or sus
picion of such a result, is preposterous, es
pecially when she is supposed to esteem and
love the man she deliberately undoes. Such
a thing is so entirely foreign to her nature
as to be beyond hypothesis. She would not
be capable of it, if she were totally indiffer
ent to the man. Nothing but the densest
selfishness or the deepest malice would fur-'
nish the motive for such an act, which is, as
a rule, incompatible with woman's natnre
or woman's methods..
At any rate, is it not an exception when a
woman ruins a man financially, or other
wise, indeed? He is very ready to proclaim
himself mined by her; he seems to think
that the charge relieves him. He is so con
stantly the cause ot her ruin that he is anx
ious to turn the tables on her. And to be
ruined by a woman sounds romantic, is cal
culated to excite p:ty and sympathy, to put
him in the position of a martyr, specially in
the eyes of his own sex. Men almost al
ways ruin themselves, in a monetary sense
particularly, but lack the courage to avow
it. Their weakness destroys them, and
they dislike to acknowledge weakness; thev
prefer to give it the name of some pictur
esque wickedness.

A RIGOROUS LA-W.
The writer could hardly credit the latter
portion of the narrative until, a little later
in the day, he repeated the story to a promi
nent attorney and asked him if he supposed
the man was actually languishing in jail for
the innocent offense oi having ajred face and
leaning against a lamp post.
"Why, you are not surprised at that, are
you? That is one of our prohibitory laws.
It is one of thd mildest. Do you knew, sir,
that the District Attorney has been given
tne nnDounaea Dower, to take any citizen,
of this commonwealth, into his back office
whom he supposes has any knowledge of a
'joint' and demand answers to any
question that be sees fit to ask, even if the
question has no bearing on the case what
ever, and this power is frequently used for
personal affairs. If tbe party questioned
refuses to answer any question, even if it
noes not relate to tbe liquor business, be can
be sent to jail by the District Attorney. It
is an outrage, as are various other under
the guise ot securing prohibition laws and
oh, don't ask me any more questions. The
laws oo tbe subject are so extreme as to be
odious, and in other States would not be
submitted to.
About one month ago the writer was
standing at tlie "corner of Fourth street and
Kansas avenne, when a number of the city
police force were marching np the Ftreet
from the Central station, to go on duty,
when he was accosted by a German, who
said: "There goes one of the fellows who
pulled me in for being drunk. I wnsn't
raising a disturbance either. They kept
me in prison, down here, two weeks, be
cause I would not tell them where I got my
beer."
Last week the temperance people of the

that the temperance people give their sud-

Colonel Johnston Pays the Men of HIa

Colonel "William Johnston, of Charlotte,
K. C, is a very distinguished looking man,
but be doesn't like to be called an old one,
especially one who may be more than 80
years old. The Colonel is attending tbe
Scotch-Irish congress, and though he won't
say how old he is, there is not a spryer man
for the apparent weight of his years in at
tendance at the convention. But the
Colonel can enjoy a joke, and yesterday
the conversation drifted to the late war.
"By the way," he began,"North Carolina
furnished 116,000 men for the late rebellion
out of anovulation of 1,300,000. Many of.
them were of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and
noted for their strict integrity. I had an
illustration just before I left Home to what
extent the Carolina troops were trusted.
At the depot on my way to Pitts
burg, I met mjr old friend; "General Joe
Johnston. He is a Scotch-Irishman, too,
and regretted that he couldn't come to
Pittsburg at this time. "We began talking
about the Carolina troops in the late war
when Johnston remarked, that he always
had the greatest faith in tbem. Said he:
" 'Once, I remember.after a battle. we had
captured a lot of plunder from the Yankees.
In riding along I remarked to some of the
