valued by us in the North, who saw
the Confederacy through the large
end of the horn.
One ofthe choicest of these arti-
cles, is 1.-THE cradle of liberty" con-

Bill Sherman, a crazy fanatic who
led horCe of Northern vandals
"down to the sea-" knocked the rock

be found valuable additions to the
libraries of Northern Democrats
As further recommendation l would
state that each volume contains my
great speech in Congress in 1868, as
reported by myself for j. Davis d
Co, with short narrative of my
travels in the South. ly order of A.
Lincoln. Another choice lot, con
sists of drinking cups, rings brace
lets and other articles of jewelry
made to order of Southern ladies',
out of the skulls and bones of Yankee
soldiers who were slain in battle,
bmied, exhumed and the flesh boiled
off for that purpose. These rare
specimens of southern ingenuity,
were highly prlzed by southern Ia
dies, and conspicuously worn by
them until the firm became so re

voluntary contributions from their
friends. 1t is expected that large
fund will he realized out of thesc
mementos of the ''highly refined"

other celebrated maces, where the
science of starving men to death,
was reduced 10 a system SO perfect
