How the Boys Of the e5th o. v. L. Amuss

How the Boys of the 65th o. v. L. Amuss
-- Themselves.
From letter dated near Dallas, we
make the following extract illustrative of
soldier life in the 65th regiment:
The rebs will shoot at random as we'll
as our own men, and their ku1lets come
whistling over our hee1s, striking the
trees, and sometimes going through sorss
ones shelter tent that stands o few feet in
rear Of the works Sometimes We can af-
ford to smuse ourselves, having secured
safe position in rear Of some large stumps.
which is also in rear OF tAs fortiicstions.
BY listening to the bullets ss they come
hunting "vets," !" WhistliDg, buzzinr, Shrek
ing, and tearing through the trees. 1
must confess that II is not calculated 10
make one feol that his life is very secure.
unless he is pretty strongly iortiRedl,
yet there are some who s7em inclined 10
make light Of the rebel messengers, know
ing their danger, and as one passes very
near their heRds will cry out "a little
too high," incline to the left" or tell
them TO take better aim. This pIorninz il
is very quiet, no bullets flying, and lust
now cheer goes along our whole line and
the news flies from one regiment TO an
other that the rebs have left, Now we
straighten up once more and, take a good
long breath, and take time enough to wash
our faces to remove a little Of the dirt tb at
has been 50 long sccumulsting. Hnd,
looking to tho rear, We. see two or three
brigadiers approaching, looking quite un-
ooncernediy about No one is fortifyine
trees, and we expect very sccn TO see the
doctors going to their regiments to attend
sick-call. When we see this last indica-
ton we we'll know Of surety that there
are no rebels Immediately in our front,
and We think there are none for some
ways. Going out to the rebel works we
see tees that have hardly any bark left on
them for twenty feet from the ground.
We are very bold now and 20 clear into
their works.

Political Breeze.

The Postmaster, General has instructed
Postmaster Walburn Of Philadelphia to
uae bis official influence to prevent the
denomination of Judge Kelley. The fact
is creating feeling OF deep resentment
among the administration Members Of the
House. Mr.. Lincoln has already put his
foot down in case like this, and will not
permit his patronage to be used to destroy
his stsunohest friends. as- 7es
The above meHdsoiOus item was teie-
grsphed TO the New York papers by some

Blair ventured to interfere with the po-
litical views eff any Union Postmaster in
the country Mr.. Blair has his own views
in regard to the policy Of the government,

has given great sstisfsction to the New

DEAFNESS. CATARRH,
AND ALE DIsEAsEs OF TH
ear, THROAT AND AIR PAssAa Fs


| From the Home Journal, June 4, 1884.
In every Business or profession, indeed in e7-
cry department of science or skill, there is al
ways some acknowledged head-sorne one who
stands out in bold relief among his fellows, as a
sort Of leader in the study and treatment
deafness and oatsrrh, as special diseases. Dr.
Z. B. LIGHTHILL, of this City, occupies just
tho F,esitinr ohrva Aasar'had- i Nc haa dsrotad
years oflabor TO this-speeislty, and is now reap
ing the reward Of his industry. The editorial
columns fthe Tribune. of a late date, bear wit
ness to the Doctors success in this department
of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
'eCURE OF DEAF MurE-Louis Loewein-
stein, a lad IL yeSTs of age, born in Germany
came to this city when he was about two years
| old. Soon after bis arrival here he was taken
| sick and lost his Fearing. By degrees he became
| first deaf and thsn dumb. For nrarly ten years
he was mutt unable to hear the loTBdest voice,
or to artisulate a word About one year
ago b was placed by his parents in
| the hGnds of DE-, LIGHTHILL, who has so far
| succeeded IN restoring to him his lost powers Of
heedng and utterance that be can converse with
those who speak to him distinctly and deliber-
| Ately. During the past four or ave months he
has been under the tuition of Mr.. Bennecke, and
has made considerable progress in reading and
arthemetic." s--
Having been supplied with the Lads address
weflrther investigated the matter, and discov-
cred that, previous to calling on DR.. Lighthill,
the youths case was considered hopeless, and
he was for two years an inmate of the Deaf and
| Dumb Asylum. The Rev. John Mott, D. D., Pro-
fessor in Union College, Schenectady, in pub
lished letter, tenders his gratitude to Or. Light
hill, for treating successfully his case Of deaf
ness. ReY. Fred. s. Jewell, Professor Of the
State Normal School at Albany, also testifes to
having been cured of catsrrh. DR.. Lighthill
possesses other written testimonials and tn
| butes to his talent from some Of our Wealthiest
! and most prominent and respected citizens,
| which may be seen on application. It would be
difficult to speak in any but terms of praise Of
his treatment, in the face Of these many proofs
l and facts testifying to his success.

Ala for the soldiers,

NOV is the time when the Aid Societies
throughout the country should realize
large gains. During the season Of straw
berries and Dream, piO-RiOs and excursions
in behalf Of The soldiers should be the order
Of The day. Because there is a great war
IA the land, the people should not give
themselves 10 constant lsmentatiOn, after
the manner Of some. Nor should q
foeiish frivoiity prevail, The thankful
use Of Gods blessings in cheerful way
Hheuld, however, prevail throughout the
lsEd. Let social pic.nics, therefore, be
turned in the direction Of our suffering
soldiers. Let the people in the country,
whose minds ars net often relieved from,
thsanxiOus suspense they feel concerning
4hs va, seek relief in charitable an no
BE pleasure. Let ell our joys, however,
be teRpsFed VITA proper spirit. izEe5

How often it has been described by able
pens. How often during the past three
years every little by way, bridge, wood
land and hill has been searched out and
traced by esger friends at home who
marked with palpifating hearts the scene
Of the last mighty struggle where loved
one had fallen, or carefully noted the trail
over which some dear soldier boy was then
dragging his weary feet cut to battle
Passing the Wilderness, which at one
time was cultivated plantations but worn
out and abandoned to the growth Of pines
which have now attained almost impene-
trable thickness, the country is quite roll
ing, rendered rough in places by deep
gulches and all manner of tortuous, abrupt
rsyines. Nearly every stream OF creek
flows east Thus the main ridges run east
and west, and what is remarkable is the
fact that the south banklof these rivers,
without an exception, rises abruptly, af-
fording grand positions for an army act
ing on the defensive, while on the north
gradual slope commences mile or two
back and becomes more level as il nears
the stream until it passes into soft mud, or
in many Instances q real marsh. The diff
heulty Of crossing at places like these in
the face Of large army admirably posted
on the opposite bank can be imagined as
among the disadvantages the army inVsd-
ing North Virginia has to contend with

liyened never but by the clinking Of pass

North Virginia is one immense fortress,

We cannot print too many good English
books in this country; but those who have
at heart the best interests Of American
literature should eternly denounce all
publiestions that are mere reprints from
English periodicals. They do mischief in
