Compelling horse to eat too much

Twenty Acres Of Human Bones


A correspondent thus writes OF the
Confederate burial place at Malvern
Hill, Virginia:
The cemetery keeper offered to act as
our guide, and after showing US the fort
and its adjacent rifle pits, he escorted us
to large field on the northwest side of
the fort, and there a most terrible scene
presented itself. Thousands of Confed-
crate soldiers who had fallen in their
desperate and persistent attempts to re-
take Fort Harrison were buried by the
Confederates where they fell. Twenty
acres or more have just been plowed up
by thr owner Of the field, and the plow-
share turned to the surface all these
skeletons. Over the whole tract the
bones are strewed in profusion, and
grinning skulls stare the visitor in the
face on every hand. When the farmer
was questioned. he said the land was
now the richest piece he had. and, in
justification of his sacriligious act, stated
that "he didn't put 'em there, nohow."
We learned afterwar1 that the bones
had been taken away by the carload
and sold to fertiliziug mills in Rich
mond. Two humane men. too poor to
do anything else, came one day we were
there, and attempted to burn some of
the bones to prevent the wretches from
carrying them off. But long job they
will have if they attempt to burn them
all.
Yet these are not the only fields of
confederate bones we have seen, nor the
first instance Of disrespect for their dead
that we have witnessed. Perhaps they
are too poor, as they plead, to bury them
Then, in the name of humanity, why
do they rear a stone monument, forty.
five feet square at the base, and ninety
feet high, at Richmond, to the memory
of the "Confederate dead" in the Gene
terry, and leave their bones to bleach i,
the fields? Strange people, these Nir
ginians. Their ways are ineXplicabl'
to us.

Tie Colossal Elephant.

j \ novel guest recently arrived at the
/ Central Park of New York-a colossal
| elephant named Andra, nearly twelve
feet in height, and weighing nine tons.
] She i bal thirty eight years old, and
/ has q prospect of growing taller until
fifty, ut which age elephants attain
their ful stature. Even now, however,
Andra is the tallest of her species that
has been seen in the United States,
although elephants sometimes grow to
heighth of fourteen feet This huge
animal consumes TWENTY-FIVE four
pound loaves of bread daily, together
with three hundred pounds of oats aud
half that number Of pounds of hay. She
drinks twenty pals of water in the
morning, and tie same quantity each
evening. As we were looking at Andra
following her keeper in the meadow in
front of the arsenal, and hating occa-
siOnally TO cat Il little grass, two sturdy
looking females, who evidently were
