Mr. J. R. Salter Produces Another Cu riosity. / Mr. J. R. Salter gained considerable notoriety hook weeks ago by snuoun- oing that he liad on exhibition a piece of wedding cake as old as some people’s parents. He lias come upon the scene again with a cariosity no less startling. The freak this time is a sunflower head with » diminutive millet crop growing on it. The son flower was rais ed last season on a plat of groand im mediately adjoining a millet jutcti. Ti«e aan flower tiead was cut down at ma turity and was stored away just like any otlier ordinary sunflower woo W ex pect to be. On stirring up Ms pile of son flower seed several days ago Mr. Salter noticed a peculiar *ippearanco about tliem. On examination be discovered that an tin- usual coalition had been formed and that a young millet patch was flourish ing on a sun flower head. Mr. Salter says that this runouty too is open to the inspection of skep tical Phioeophlzing. Inquiries at the offices of Or. A. P. Taylor, Foadnen ’Mitchell, K. M. Mai- lette and T. D. Wiun failtnl to obtain responses this week. Upon investiga tion it was found that tho quarts hud silently folded their tents nud Wed themselves away from tl»e hnstlc and bustle of business botliers for a week's vacation. They are limiting rest and courtiug philosophy on the Wareis.sn river in Florida. to take part in the encampment. This has made the competition severe, a^d for any organization to get in, it will have to show squarely np to the stan dard. The Fonrth regiment to which the Guards belong has made application for the admission of all twelve of its com panies. A minimum requirement of fifty enlisted men has been made, and it is announced that no company will be allowed to go which cannot carry with them at least fifty soldiers. Very few, it any, companies, iu the regiment now have as many as fifty men available, imd it is feared that this requirement will out out some of the best companies. The Guards already have an enlisted strength of about forty five, and they are exerting every effort to work this strength np to sevonty. A number of very valuable men have sig nified their intention of entering tho service immediately. No man who does not enlist by the fifth of Jane will be allowed to make the Virginia trip, and for that reason enlistments will be coming thick, and fast for the next two weeks. The encampment will be valuable not only from the standpoint of the soldier hut it will .give an opportunity for many a good young man to see his nation’s capital without .expense. Manassas is only a few* miles from Washington City, and such an opportunity seldom comes into the life of ordinary men. Not only every expense will be paid, but every man will be paid tin. .stniu wages us ore given members of the reg ular army and his time will bo countajl from the day he leaves Thomas? ills un til he returns.
