Prom tho Tallahassee lFla) Sentinel

FROM INC L AfiahnSSDc lhll.) sentinel
Our exchanges by answering our query,
may bring Joy to some fond heart, that
mourns as dead, an unfortunate man whom
we saw at the hospital in this place on yes
terday. So sad picture as his anxious face
presents, it has not often been our lot to
look upon. No account whatever can be
gathered of him here. When the United
States forces took possession of Tallahassee,
they found this man in the (then) Confed-
crate hospital, and he has not been heard TO
speak since. His face ever wears an ex-
preston Of most anxious care" Themoment
any one enters his room he turns with an
imploring glance, intensified by an express
sion of fear Oh ! that look can never be
forgotten So full Of petition dread and
woe! He wrings his hands necessarily, and
seems Just uttering some earnest request :;
but never speaks. Repeated efforts have
been made 10 induce him TO write But he
takes the pen mechanically, as he does
everything else, and gazcs up into your face
with that same earnest lcok of underlined
supplication and dread.
When he is left alone with his food he eats
heartily, and until recently his geneal
health has been good. He is now a little
emaoiated, Occasionally he has been known
10 creep stealthily To his window and open
it cautiously. But in doing so he seems to
dread some catastrophe.
We have made considerably inquiry
about him in the city and can gather no clue
as 10 the exact time when he was brought to
Tallahassee, or from where. One account
supposes that he was brought up here a
month or two before the surrender from the
hospital in Monticello. Another says that
some Confederate soldier who has seen him
here, remembers that he saw him at the
Natural Bridge fght-that he was then
wearing Majors star, and that he fought
very bravey. He supposes that the explo-
sion Of shell near his head, paralyzed his
speech and deprived him partially Of reason.
1t is passing strange that he should have
remained here so long without being identi-
fed. Perhaps DIR. BACON, az Fernandina,
who had charge OF the hospital mere AZ the
time Of Che Surrender, might give some in
formation. We appeal to any who can give
ms information concerning him 10 do so.

From tho Nnsh,illc Pres and Time.

From the Nashville Press and llmef.l
There is a thrilling power in NAsT's two
picture in Hdrper's Weekly for June Both.
The first represents the great death-pen AT
Anderaonville, at the time when many thou
sands Of Union soldiers were confined at
that horrible place. One Of the guard has
lust fired at a ragged and emaciated prisoner
who has dropped On his knees and clapped
his hand TO the death-wound in the back Of
his head, while with the frenzy Of starvation
he clutches bone, TO obtain which he ven
tured 10 cross the forbidden line. Another
soldier is stretched by his side, with features
distorted in the agony Of dissolution. On
dirt-heap close by sits third soldier, whose
wretched rags scarcely hang together on his
skeleton form, burying his gaunt face in his
skeleton fingers, and praying, doubtless, for
the merciful deliyerance Of death, which has
kindly visited a fourth comrade who is
stretched out on his left. A dead-cart, from
which sticks ont the foot of another victim,
is in the act Of leaving the gate, where an Of
iicer is converting with enc Of the guards
In the background stands n gallows, on
which many a patriot soldier has given up
his life for his country. The picture is
dark and terrible one, and its gloom in
creases when we consider that the cngrayer
has fallen far short Of the reality. We
have before ms the Dead Roll OF the Ander-
sonville prison. whose figures tell the follow
ing story:
Died 1904
Hung
The dead Of this State alone number
nearly 0ac thousand! Such was the mercy
shown by JEFFERSON DAVIS to the soldiers
who tried to suppress his rebellion.
Underneath the above described sketch is
one giving an inside view Of Fortress Mon
roe. The lost spirit Of the "lost cause" is
reclining like Sardanapolis in an easy chair,
over which bends a lady and an officer,
whom we take 10 be DIR. CRAVEN, from the
way in which he feels the pulse Of the
Easy Chair" and looks at his watch At
the left Of the easy chair is a table covered
with bouquets and cigars. In front Of the
easy chair one orderly holds out a spittoOn
in the manner Of an Eastern courtier in the
presence Of the Sultan; a second extends a
fan with an obsequious squat, and two others
approach with a waiter containing cobDlers,
lemons, and pitcher Of ice water. A door
opens into lack room in which stands a
table covered with a sumptuous repast. In
the background are two guards tiptoeing
over a strip Of mating and the following
notices are visible, "Pease walk on the mat
ting" 'NoTICE-All persons passing this
way must put on slippers, in order not to
disturb our guest" Books, cages of singing |
birds, and pleasant shade trees I'll up the |
picture, which has written underneath the |
well known legend, 'Trcasop must be made

these pictures. Their moral is eloquent,

people who honor our dead patriots, and de-

AT LEAST TWO-THIRD5 OF THE DISEASES
with which the human family are afflicted,
are brought on by the want of attention to
the condition Of the Blood. Whenever the
Blood becomes impure, no matter from wha,
cause, the effects of such impurity are i'm
mediately felt, either in one way or
another; and unless measures are at once
taken to remove such impurities, the whole
system becomes affected and long fit of
sickness and sometimes death is the result.
DIR. Samuel Adams, well-known Chemist of
San Francisco, has discovered certain herbs
and roots. mostly of California growth, which
he has combined with Sarsaparilla and Iodide
OF Potas, and succeeded in producing a Medi-
cine that, while it is entirely harmless in
every particular, will in short time COM
pletely eradicate from the Blood all impuri-
ties, of whatever nature. and will restore the
patient to perfect ROBUST HEALTH. The prep
aration is called ADAMS BLOOD PURIFIER, -

MEDICAL ADVICE.

DR.. WM. K. DoHERrY's Medical and Sur
gical Institute is becoming s,ne qua non
to the welfare of our State and health of our
citizens; and his rapidly spreading repu-
tation, although it may excite surprise, is
but the signal of skill, and follows as the
natural effect of such a cause. We are per-
sonally acquainted with gentlemen who had
suffered for years under chronic disease, and
who had taken advantage of every available
means that promised relief, but without sue
cess, until they called upon DR.. Doherty,
who, in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is crafty
ing to announce this fact, because the Doctor
is gentleman who seeks, not by defamc ion
of others. to establish his reputation, or to
rear the superstructure of his own upon the
ruin of another's fame. The Doctor con-
ducts his Institute in such a manner that
must be gratifying to all his patients. He
examines, advises, and recommends without
charge, and the patient, after hearing his
terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects cure. This he
is able to do, because he feels the confidence
which long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertains to
that confidence. Persons afflicted with either
acute or chronic disease. would do well to
consult the Doctor at all events, it can do
no harm, as for consultation he asks no fee
nor does he insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his
care. His offices are on Sacramento street,
opposite the Pacific Mail Steamship office.
