The New York Tribune says, I" the reason why brakes
Plantation Bitters are so universally used and have
such an immense sale, is that they are always made up
to the original standard, of highly invgorang material
and of pure quality although the prices have so largely
advanc ed "" etc.
The Tribune just hits the nail on the head The
Plantation Bitters are only made of pure material
but the pc ople are told what is. The Recipe Is pub
lished around each bottle and the bottles are not re-
dueed in size At least twenty limitations and counter
feits have sprung up. They impose upon the people
once and thats the last of them.

HEROINE OF A DOZEN BATTLES.

One Of the most extraordinary crea-
lures that ever lived in any age, says an
exchange, sis now prisoner in the Cen
trail Police Station. John Harris, alias
Fanny Harris, is the individual in ques-
ton. Three years ago Fanny Harris
was engaged to be Resried to q young
man in that city. She was disappointed
in her love, and in desperation resolved
to enlist as soldier. Her resolution
WAS carried out most effectually. 1t Isl
unnecessary to follow her through ALI
her adventures and sufferings. Suffice ID
it to say, she has fought in dozen bat
ties, and her delicate frame has been rid
died with bullets. A minnie ball in her
right hip, a shell wound above the knee
three bullets in her legs, and frightful
wound in the spine-these are some ol
the souvenirs of three years bloodI
campaign that are borne tod day by this
American Joan d Arc, over whose head
only eighteen summers have passed.
She was present at the battle of Built
Run. and wears watch which she cap
tured on the i'll starred field More than.
two years she has been drummer in
her regiment-Oue Hundred and Twelfth
Indiana-and she states that the fifer in
the band to which she belonged was also
woman. The sex of the young drum
mer, most marvellous to state, was never
discovered until she reached this city,
a few days ago. She came here as dis
charged veteran. and while at the Sol
diers s Rest physician was called, who
disclosed the fact that she was female.
The woman of the Rest took her in
charge, and. per order of somebody. she
was arrested But the public need not
think that she feels the loss of her liber
ty. AT the Central Station she is treated
more as distinguished guest than as
prisoner Hundreds Of curious people
have visited her with the most profound
respect and homage. Miss Harris has
evidently been an attractive Young lady.
and young as she is. there is an intel

BY wM. CULLEN BRYANT.
On woodland ruidy with Autumn,
The amber sunshine lies
Hook on the beauty around me,
Aud tears come into my eyes.
For the wind that sweeps the meadows,
Blows out of the far South west,
Where our gallant men are fighting,
Aud the gallant dead are at rest.
The golden rod is leaning,
Ani the purple sster waves
In a breeze from the land of battles,
A breath from the land of graves.
Full fast the leaves are dropping
Before the wandering breath
As fast, on the field ef battle,
Our brethren fall in death.
Beautiful over NV pathway.
The forest spoils are shed;
Thev are spotting the grassy hillocks,
With purple and gold and red.
Beautiful is the death sleep
OF those who bravely fight
In their country's holy quarrel,
And perish for the right.
But who shall comfort the living,
The light of whose home is gone;
The bride that, early widowed
Lives broken hearted on;
The naatron whose sons are living
In graves on a distant shore
The maiden, whose promised husband
Comes back from the war no more

Whose ~indows giimmer in sight
With croft. and garden and orchard,
Thas bask IN the mellow light;
And know that when our couriers

r.r1oNA1 AND STATE FAST DAY

Tomorrow we are called upon by the
Chief Executive of the Nation, President
Johnson, and by the Governor of the State
ofSevada, to assemble at places Of public
worship, and with penitence and con-
triton, acknowledge our sins as individ-
uals and community, and implore the
guidance and discretion of the Almighty
for the future. For other than residents
upon the Pacific Slope, the terms and
language of these State papers would be
sufficient to cause cessation of labor
closing of all business and devout rem
dering of homage to that POWER which
controls the destinies Of men and Nations.
We, here, from the peculiarines of bust
ness the excitements of mining-the
daily alterations from wealth to poverty,
the surroundings Of chance and illure-
ments of hope, have estrayed from those
early teachings and Sreside precepts, that
are better than all else, and whose bene-
fits stretch to all countries and all peoples
The sooner that we, as community, set
.tle down into the practices of our Eastern
homes-love and revere those institutions
which are there honored and observed
the sooner will we make our marx as
civilized people, and draw to US all those
elements which make a vigorous and
prosperous people. In this hour of a
Nations woe for the loss of an honored
Chief Magistrate, struck down BY the
hand of an assassin, it is our bounden
duty to mourn with the Nation In its
affection. To that end and purpose, we
shall not tomorrow issue paper, that
all may participate in the solemn exercises
of the day, and for the credit of this loyal
community we trust all will suspend their
usual avocations, and do as requested by
the President of the United States.
