FREAK UNION.
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.
