THE GRAND RE.uNION.

Chicago papers are almost filed with
accounts of the rejoicings and festivities
of the veterans, who have assembled in
the City of the Lakes to talk their bat.
ties DER again, and to renew and bright.
en- friendships cemented by common
dangers, hardships and honorable serv-
ices. The following elegant tribute to
the memory of the dead, but not for
gotten, we extract from the Chicago
Tribune:
But amid these preparations, Theses
holiday festivities, these warm greet
ings of the living, arise in all their sol.
emn grandeur the memorial dead; some
disfigured by sabre stroke or pistol shot,
but all hallowed and ennobled by the
look of rest and peace which freedoms
martyrs ever wear. But these shades
are not unwelcome here. These dead
are not yet forgotten, and not vet have
the living pushed them from their
stools. There may not be chairs placed
at the banquet board for these unseen
warriors, who sup in other worlds, be-
yond our view. No glasses are filled
for them, and their voices arc hushed-
never heard since they fell in the battle
front. But yet, all invisible, beside the
living Generals stand the dead. They,
Wnethef buried amid the S0rr0wing
communities where they were born, or
whether their corses lie in Southern
graves, are present with us now, and
Mcpherson stands by Sherman as faith
fully as in those days when the army
marched from Chattanooga to the walls
of Atlanta. The home of the dead SOL
diers is in the hearts of the living ones.
and from that sanctuary nothing can
drive them. There they remain enshrin-
ed, through changing seasons. beyond
all caprices of fortune and all DEGREES OF
fate.
We welcome, then, the dead, not less
earnestly, but more quietly, than we do
the living, and though our right hands
cannot clasp their ghostly substance, yet
in our hearts we embrace them and claim
them as our own. They form an inte-
grail, a part of the grand armies that as
semble here as they did in those days of
the past when they commanded troops
and fought among the living, and hoped
that they, too, might return home victo-
rious to spend long years in the bosom
of their families and among their fellow
citizens. Vain hope! And yet all is
well with them.

Nutmegs are the fruit of beautiful
tree which grows in the Molucca Is
lands and in various parts of the East.
All the parts of the tree are aromatic,
but only those portions of the fruit
called mace and nutmeg are remarkable.
The entire fruit is ofan oval form, about
the size of peach. The nutmeg is the
innermost kernel. 1t is surrounded by
a skin which, peeled off, constitutes the
mace of commerce. The tree yields
annually three crops. The first one,
which is gathered in April, is the best.
The others are gathered in August and
December. Good nutmegs should be
dense and heavy, and free from worm
holes When the worm holes have
been artificially filled up, the feeling of
lightness in the hand is a means of de-
tecting the fraud. An attempt has been
made to cultivate nutmegs in the West
Indies, but without success.

THE EAGLE.-UncIe Sam had goodly
company when he chose the eagle for
the national emblem. 1t was first borne
as a standard by the Persians. The Ro-
man ensigns wore eagles in silver and
gold, sometimes having thunderbolts
in their talons. The Emperor Charlie
imagine adopted an eagle with two heads,
A. ID. S02, when he became master OF
Germany, to signify that the two en-
pires of Rome and Germany were unit
ed in him. The eagle was the Imperial
standard of Napoleon /, as it is now OF
Napoleon III and also of Russia, Aus
tria and Prussia. The White Eagle and
Black Eagle are likewise the names OF
orders of knighthood In Poland and
Prussia.

He may have no regard for the tortures
inflicted on these poor creatures on al
most every cattle train between here and
Texas, but if he has regard for his own
life and health and the lives and health
of others dear to him, who are daily
feeding upon diseased meats, he ought
to feel thankful to his Maker for every
onward step toward the abolition of
these horrible cruelties.
