The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1869-11-06

- The Enquirer is no prophet. 1t has tried
TO be one and failed. So yesterday it gets
IN plain sailing ground by prophesying the
future greatness of this country. No man
can so wrongon that. But even with such
n subject it mikes up batch of Chinese
notions that show how incorrigibly unprac-
teal it is. The Chinese never could make
a barrel with two heads in it. Their archi-
lecture in that line is modelled on the plan
Of the butter firkin-a head in one end, a
top on the other. The vessel so made sits
on end. Thus arc made the water-casks of
their war vessels. They don't see how an
American makes the two heads to barrel.
They think that he must do the work inside,
and afterwards come out at the bunghole !!
SO the Enquirer can't see how the Dispatch
does certain things unless it finishes the
trick by coming out at the bunghole! And
it wants to ind0ctrinate other people with
its Chinese crotchets, even desiring to invite
them to Chinese associations. 1t has APP
pointed day for the elderly gentleman in
this establishment to escort CAB SEE," the
Chinese tea-seller, in public. AS the editor
Of the Enquirer is the bishop of the 'see "
Of China, he must take this "AH SEE" under
his own protection, as he must all things
human and artistic covered by his blshopric'

Confederate Dead Unearthed-
Twenty Acres of Human Bones.

While our ladies are mourning and deco
rating the graves iu Oakwood, and while the
MASSIVE stone monument to the memory of
of those who lie in Hollywood is gradually APP
preaching completion, 1T is distressing to
hear of the neglect of the bones of those who
are buried where they fell-on the hillsides
and in the valleys in other parts of the
State. The reports that reach us of the sacri-
ligeous conduct of many Virginia farmers are
so shocking that we hesitate to give them
credence, although our duty as journalists re-
ouires us to lay them before our readers.
A few weeks ago we published an account
If the state of affairs at Fort Harrison, which
subseo uent investigation proved too true
Now comes a most narrowing story from
Malvern Hill, where so many of our best and
brayest, with their last drop of blood sealed
their devotion to the Southern cause.
On the northwest side of the fort a most
terrible scene presents itself. Thousands of
Confederate soldiers have been buried where
they fell, twenty acres or more have just been
plowed up by the owner Of The field, and the
ploughshare turned to the surface all the
skeletons. Over the whole tract bones are
strewed in profusion, and grinning skulls
stare the visitors in the face on every hand.
When the farmer was questioned he said
the land was now the richest place he hao,
and, in justification OF the sacriligious act.
stated that che didn't put 'em there, nohow. u
The writer learned afterward that the bones
had been taken away by the cart load and sold
to fertilizing mills in Richmond. Two hu'
name men, too poor to do anything else,
came one day, we we-e there, and attempted
to burn some of the bones to prevent the
wretches from carting them off.

KISSING IN THE STREET.

Did you ever notice mortals--
Now I'll bet a cent you did
Now the ladies-pretty creatures
Can't keep their feelings hid!
But they are kissing out in public;
kissing everywhere they meet;
Kiss-kiss at church, at shopping,
And-kissing-in the street!
Behold charming maiden,
Arrayed in fashions bright,
She meets upon the sidewalk
A friend she saw last night:
'How are you darling Nellie?
How glad am to meet"
Then dainty shake Of fingers
And a-kissing-in the street!
A bachelor beside us
Says, "pity this is done
So much, for l am certain
1t can't be any fun;
This kissing out in public:
kissing everywhere they meet;
Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping,
And-kissing in the street,"
"But the secret great, is this, sir!
The maiden has no beau
No gentleman to kiss her
She must her feelings show
By kissing out in public;
Kissing all she may meet:
Kiss. kiss, at church and shopping;
And-kissing--in the strectr'
Now, merry hearted maidens,
And women most discreet,
Give over this bad habit
OF kissing in the street;
Remember that false traitor
Who knelt at Jesus feet,
And don't become a greater
By kissing in the street.
Be noble minded women,
With hearts attend the right;
Then shall each see the other
As those who dwell in light;
But never for an instant
Whoever you may meet
Be caught like silly noodles,
A kissing in the street.
