Natohoz, the Soldiers Paradise.

H. H. Dean, Adiutaut of the 1Ith I'll. regi-
ment, writes from Natchez, Miss, a glowing
description of the manner in which our gal
lant northwestern boys now at that place are
living. He says:
+" This is one Of the picest places I ever saw,
and I have been in a great many, you know.
It has some Of the richest grounds and resi-
dences in the South. The inhabitants are
wealthy and have every luxury they can wish.
We are now living high to make up for hard
tack and bacon in the rear of Vicksburg.-
There Is every kind Of tropical fruit in abun-
dance, and some I never saw before. Niggers
bring US every morning melons of more varie-
ties than I ever thought ii possible to grow,
and ripe, rich Ggs, peaches, apples, pomegran-
ates and fruit which they call the neetarine
a cross between the plum and the peach
ani very fine eating; and then we have ev-
cry kind Of vegetables imaginable. Our mess
live very high with " fish, flesh and fowl" " to
say nothing Of vegetables. We are getting
oranges and lemons from New Orleans and
plenty of ice-a great luxury here.
Wehave New Orleans papers twice a week.
It seems to US like paradise on earth now
after going through the hard work OF the past
few months.
This is a much healthier place than Ticks-
burg. We are camped in beautiful park
with gas lights all around us and in the walks
and fine shade trees. My tent under a large
magnolia, and the poorest private we have
sleeps under a rose bush.
TIE inhabitants are of course secesh to a |
man, and are bitter against the Yankees, but
they are obliged to keep closed mouths. The
ladies' talk secesh sentiments strong, and play
and sing secesh songs when we pass their
houses. We laugh at them and whistle
Yankee Doodle" and Red, White and
Blue, until they get tired or We get o1t Of
wind.

The Father of Homeopathy.

THE following paragraph from Galig-
nani's Messenger will surprise the ma
jority of homeopathists who never heard
of any other person as the founder of the
homeopathic method of treating diseases
than the German physician Hahnemann,
and who refer the origin Of his system to
the discovery that the Jesuit's bark ia
ken by persons in health produced symp-
toms like those which it was employed to
cure:
DEATH OF THE FATHER OF HoNEo-
PATHY.-The death of Count S. G. S. NJ.
Del Guidi is reported at Lyone. The
Count was in his ninety-fourth year, and
was the father of homeopathy, having in
1888 converted Hahnemann from alIopa-
thy. Count Del Guidi had previously
been a Metropolitan conspirator against
Queen Caroline in 1899, a prisoner, exile,
professor of mathematics, Inspector of
the University of Gfenoble, doctor of
medicine, and, finally, of anti-medicine,
and has died a chevalier of the Legion
of Honor.

The Patent Ghost.

Professor Peppers Patent Ghost has
been introduced with unbounded success
at Wallack's Theater, New York. Our
theatrical managers, in search of novel
ties for the coming season, should not
forget the ghost by any manner of means.
The Evening Post says Of its appearance
at Wallack's:
The Ghost walks. Italso talks. It is
fesh-and- blood ghost, but does not look
at all ike one. 1t is, on the contrary, a
most spectral and wiord spirit, which lays
of the human form and takes upon itself
a dim and shadowy aspect that Is at once
curious, attractive, odd, philosophical and
appalling. Wallack's gem of a tbcater
was crammed to its furthermost Granny
by an audience who thought very little
of a stupid play, but a great deal of an
excellent ghost. % True to the Last" is
an adaptation Of a sensational novel
" The Bride of an Evening"" the plot
turning upon the devotion Of newly
welded bride to husband falsely accu-
sed, on his wedding night, of a murder
committed by wicked cousin; which
cousin is subsequently tortured by re
morse, sees visions, dreams dreams, and
is haunted by the spirits of dead old
miser, whom he killed directly, and of a
young damseI who died indirectly from
the results of his Vaccinations.
But the ghost is the attraction; while
the play is nothing. The optical illusion
is a successful philosophical experiment,
very curiously worked out Purporting
to be the invention Of one Pepper, who is
also a Professor of something somewhere
on the other side of the waste, it is inge-
niOusly cOntrived by means of brilliant
reflections from the persons of concealed
actors and invisible chairs and pitfalls, so
as to produce effects little short of mar
vellOus. Ghosts, accompanied by view
Of King Death venomously twirling his
fatal dart, appear and disappear at viii,
are shot at without getting wound, are
pOked at with sharp swords without re-
ceiving a scratch, are embraced only to
disappear, and keep on with their talk
and their movements till the curtain
drops. The house went quite wild with
delight, and the inevitable accidents of
first night resolved themselves into only
one serious mistake, where the ghost of
the murdered old man appeared before
his time, and went down suddenly on all
fOurs somewhere under the stage) to get
out of the way as speedily as possible.
The whole affair is purely a scientific ex-
pertinent, and as such is worth seeing.
Ghosts having now been regularly in
troduced, with the advantage Of Wallack's
splendid mOuntings, it will become pop
ular Some enterprising manager will
presently be heard Of, whose ghost will
be visible in other places on Broadway,
and already Bryant's Minstrels announce
q burlesque. Hereafter, too, we may ex-
pect to see Professor Peppers style of
ghost introduced in I" Hamlet, where it
will be much less absurd than the tradi-
lional man wrapped in Sheet of gauze,
yrayely stalking across the stage.

a Mission for Fred. Douglass.


Fred. Douglass called, yesterday morning,
on the President, to thank him for the issuing
Of the late order guaranteeing protection to
the colored troops Of the United States. He
also visited Secretary Stanton and other mem
bers Of the Cabinet At the War Department
he was deputized to join Adjutant General
Thomas, and assist him in organizing oolored
regiments He viii at once proceed to the
Mississippi on this important mission, in which
his great personal influence over his race viii
enable him to render great assistance to the
GOvernment-Ns,g York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
There is something practical in this. Fred.
Douglass is a colored person who has a good
deal Of sense. He has two sons in the army,
both of whom have behaved well under FIRE.
He has urged all able-bodied negroes to go to
the war, not stopping to talk about bcunties,
rights as citizens, or any thing else. He'is
natural orator, and can talk to the contrabands
along the Mississippi with effect If he IS al
lowed to work, he viii soon put some flesh
upon the bones of General Thomas army of
skeleton regiments. He is worth half dozen

Price of Substitutes in Philadelphia.

SUBSTITUTES are obtained at sums
ranging from $50 to $3.50. socesh feel
ing in this city is far below par. The
Union cause goes braYely on.-PbHadeJ-
phia Dispatch.
Why is it, that substitutes can be had
at rates like these? No such terms could
be obtained under the other draft. The
answer seems plain to us. It is because
the offer of the Government to furnish
them at $500 each, has broken up specu-
latiOn and kept down prices. In the
South, where no such protection exists,
the conscript has to pay whataver is
charged by substitutes, who, by oombi-
nation, run prices up as high as $4,000
and $4,000 each, Now, will some one
tell US wherein the poor man cOnscripted
IS injured by the Federal law. Which
would suffer most from high rates for
substitutes, the poor man or the rich one?
If people will give the law a, fair trial,
instead of listening to the clamOr of dem
agogues, they and the country will be
better off.-Toledo Blade.
