Trial OF WIm--On Monday the trial of
Captain Wirz was fairly entered upon, by
a long argument on various legal points,
involving the jurisdiction Of the court, ect,
on the part Of the defence, and counter ar
guments from the Judge Advocate. The
Advocates position was sustained. Wirz
out of three counsel he originally had, pre-
served but one--Mr Schade, a countryman;
but Mr.. Baker, who was in the courtroom
at the time, volunteered, and began ally
to assist Mr.. Schade The testimony of a
Union officer, Captain Noyes, was taken to
prove the genuincness Of a letter written
by Captain Wirz to General Wilson, ask
ing for a safe conduct to some seaport,
from which he could embark to his own
home, admitting his command at Ander-
sonville, but pleading the orders of superior
officers for the course of brutality towards
the prisoners confined in the stockade. G..
c. Gibbs, an officer in the late Confederate
army. was called to show the position of
WirZ, the character Of the prisoner, and of
the food furnished the prisoners, the num-
bcr Of deaths, etc, and the fact that suffi-
cicnt food was always furnished by the
Confcdcratcs ; if it was not good nor suf1i-
cient the witness testified, there were
means Of officially improving its quantity
and quality This part of the testimony
was direct rcbutta of the statements Of
Wirz in his letter, and the counsel tried
hard to shake it; and in doing so, there
were some sharp interchanges The same
witness said that the bloodhounds said to
have been used for the purpose of pursuing
the escaped prisoners, were not blood
hounds but ordinary farm or plantation
dogs. a surgeon, DR.. John c. Bates, who
was stationed at the prison from Sept %,
1864, to March 26, 1865, testified to the
filth and misery tormenting the men in the

OUR DEAD AT ANDERsONVILLE.

Capt. James Moore has returned from his
Andersonville mission. The expedition, un-
dertaken by direction Of the Secretary OF
War, for the purpose of identifying and
marking the graves of Union soldiers who
died in the vile pen at Andersonville, has
been gratifying success Twelve thous-
and five hundred graves were located and
marked by neat head-boards, inscribed with
the name, regiment, and date of death Of
our heroes, FIVE hundred only being mark
ed Union soldier, unknown" Fifty acres
were enclosed by neat fence, and sever
al streets taken in the adornment OF the
forest cemetery thus enclosed. The work
was completed Oh the 10th instant, and the
resting-place Of the brave dead informally
dedicated by the raising Of the stars and
stripes upon flagstaff erected within the
enclosure. guard has been stationed
at the cemetery. Mr. Griffin, an unmistak-
able Union man Of the neighborhOod, has
been appointed superintendent, and Ander-
sonville Cemetery prison pen ard the acces-
sories will be kept intact for the inspection
Of those who desire to make a pilgrimage
there i'll search OF the remains Of relatives.
Captain Moore reached Andersonville on
the 26th Of July, after a tedious trip from
Savannah, by way Of Augusta, Atlanta and
Macon, with his detachment of forty two
men, and Immediately commenced his task.
The <ead were found buried in several
trenches, distant about three hundred yards
from the stockade, and laid with some re
gard to regularity None were found bu-
ried within the stockade, as reports have
stated The men worked with zeal, al
though the weather was insufferabIy hot
Considerable sickness ensued, resulting in
the death OF four of the party, among them
Mr. e. Watts, clerk Of the expedition
Iightcd denizens Of the sparsely settled
forest occasionally visited the working par
ty, and expressed surprise at seeing so ma
ny Federals III their heigh0orhood. lmprob-
able as it may seem, many of them could
not be convinced that the contederacy was
out Of existence.
Capt. Moore is convinced that the stories
Of crueltics practised upon Union prisoners
at Andersonville were not great exaggera-
tions. The bloodhound pen is still stand
ing on the road from the stockade to the
cemetery, and the green, stagnant, foul
smelling water Of the prison brook, the
cramped and wretched burrows, the dead
line, the slaughter house, refuse and mser-
les of the stockade, may be inspected even
now Miss Clara Barton returned with the
expedition.

the California hunter, presented an elk-horn
chair, Of curious construction, to Abraham
Lincoln Mr.. Kinman has now constructed
a chair, to be presented to President John
son-a chair that surpasses all his previ-
ous efforts. 1t is made of two grizzly bears,
captured by himself But we almost des
pair of giving anything like an intelligent
description of the article Suffice it to say
that the four legs, with the feet and claws
in perfection, are those of huge grizzly
bear, while the arms are the arms and
paws of another grizzly the back and
sides are also ornamented with immense
claws. The seat is soft and exceedingly
comfortable, but the great Feature" of the
institution" is, that by touching cord
the head of a monster grizzly bear, with
extended jaws, will dart in front from un-
der the seat, swapping and gnashing its
teeth as natural as life 1t is wonderful
IN design, wonderful in execution, and a
worthy souvenir from the hunter of the
Rocky Mountains to the Chief Magistrate of

CuEcK RKINs FoR DRAFT lloRsEs.-The head
and neck of a horse ASSET in balancing his body
when not restrained by a taut check rein /, just
as the arms OF u man enable him TO walk with
more ease when they are uncontincd. When u
check rein is 80 short as to hold the head Of a
horse higher than he is accustomed to carry it,
it is impossible for him to travel or draw easily.
A man can walk or run much more advantage
ously with his arms free and his head and shoul
ders thrown a little forward, because they are
important balances for his body. If draft hor-
SEES have check rains they should always be un-
hi,chcd when they are hauling a heavy draft,
especially up hill. If one watches the move
ments Of a horses head when he slips On ice, OF
a pavement, he will soou be satisfied that draft
horses should not be checked up much. Car
riage horses may be made to hold their heads
high but those which have hard pulling should
be allowed to Dc 1t in the easiest manner, with
their heads held naturally.

mer =" have for the last four years proved to

stroyed by them, after 1t was housed but hav-
ing about two acres Of wild peppermint that

EXCESSIVE LABOR IN HARyEsT.-Harvest,
with its pressing calls on the farmers time, is here,
and with it has CONT the temptations to over ex-
ertlon and exposure which are yielded to every
year by large numbers Of farmers, to their serious
injury. The days are long and hot, with nights
none too long for rest and sleep. Yet in the hur-
ry Of the work hours that should be devoted to
quiet rest, are often spent IN exhaustive labor.
There 10 a false pride among laborers that often
urges them on when really unable to do their
work rather than admit that they have " given
out" In this way they sometimes seriously IL
lure their health. This is especially true in the
case Of boys or very young men. A boy who at
the age Of seventeen or eighteen has attained the
size Of a full grown man, goes into the harvest
field and feels a pride in being able to do full
work. lie is allowed TO do this, or even encour.
aged in it, and as a consequence, he either gives
out or struggles on with q%uiverlng muscles and
dizzy brain, doing his allotted share Of work per-
haps, but al the cost OF a weakened chest or en-
feebled constitution. In this respect the careful
farmer often acts much more wisely with bis young
horses than with his boys. lie does not allow
the colts to be tasked beyond their strength, ard
when by accident this is done be expects the re-
suits to be injurious. 1t cannot be doubted that
many boys are injured for life by over work, and
this injury NAV be inflicted when they ere quite
young. The work done by the boy Of twelve
vars may be as ~fatiguing to him as that done by
bis full grown brother, and he is as much more
liable to injnry,a as his muscles are weaker and more
unused to labor The vital energies in youth are
strong and active, and the boy may be able to go
through with bis work day after day, but at the
end Of the harvest he will be found dull and spir-
itless.
Hurried eating, Immediately followed by hard
labor, is a habit which the pressure of harvesl
work often induces. A man 10 good health and
with a strong constitution may not feel any bad
effect from this course for a long time, but the
slightest know ledge of physiological truths shove
that It's effects cannot but be pernicious. The or
binary work Of the farm should never be so urgen'
that a reasonable time for eating cannot be tax en-.
A proper care Of ones health should ever be
matter Of the first importance, even il it involves
p%ecuniafy loss.-Hestern Rural.

REMEDY FOR DYSPEPSIA Halls Journal q

REMEDY FOR DYspEPsIA.-Hall's Journal Of
Health for January says
There are some general principles Of cure ap-
plicable to all and which will seldom fail Of high
advantages.
/. The entire body should be washed once a
week with soap, hot water and a stiff brush.
=. Wear woolltn next the Skin the year round,
during the daytime only.
3. By means Of ripe fruits and berries, coarse
bread and other coarse food, keep the bowels
acting freely once in twenty four hours.
a. Under all circumstances keep the feet
always clean, dry and warm.
5. 1t is most indispensable to have the fullest
plenty Of sound, regular, connected and refresh
ing sleep in a clean, light, well aired chamber
with windows facing the sun.
.. Spend two or three hours Of every forenoon,
and one or two every afternoon, rain or shine, in
the open air, in some form of interesting, exhil
Grating and unwearying exercise, walking with a
cheering and entertaining companion is the very
best.
7. Eat at regular times and always slowly.
S. That food is best for each which is most
relished, and is followed by the least discomfort
What may have benefited or injured one is no
rule for another. This eighth item is of uniyer.
sal application.
9. Take but a t~eaoupful of any kind of drink at
one meal and let that be hot.
10. Confne yourself to coarse bread Of corn,
rye or wheat--to ripe, fresh, perfect fruits and
berries, 10 their natural state-to fresh lean meats
boiled or roasted, as meat is easier of digestion
than vegetables. Milk, g%rayies, pastries, heavy
hot bread, farinas, starcbes and greasy food III
general, aggravate dyspepsia by their constipatine
tendencies.
II. 1t is best to eat at regular times as otter
as hungry, but SO little as to occasion no discom
fort whatever.
II. Constantly aim to divert the mind from
bodily condition, in a pleasant way this is hal
the cure in many cases.
