THE NATIONAL CEMETERY AT CHAT.
1AN00GA.

There is an eminent fitness in repair
ing TO the National Cemetery at Chatta-
nooga after descending the Lookout
Mountain. This resting place of the
nations dead is about midway in the
valley between the mountain and Mis-
si0nary Ridge, and once upon the com
mon level from which these attitudes
arise, it no longer appears a mere pat
tern in the landscape as viewed from
the Point, but assumes noble proper
lions, and discovers to the visitor a
beautiful natural elevation surrounded
by q breast-high, compact stone wall,
inclosing an extensive area, traversed
by gracefully winding avenue, as neat
ly bordered and carefully kept as any
in matchless Spring Grove.
The most elevated point in the ceme-
terry is the center, from which a flag
staff arises a hundred and forty feet
high. The general plan of burial seems
TO be TO place the graves in plats, with
the head toward the flag staff. Several
handsome monuments appear among
the twelve thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three graves of the Union soldiers
sleeping here amid the enduring scenes
of their patriotic sacrifice, but the vast
majority of the graves are marked by
simple white heaed-board, inscribed
with the name, age, regiment and death
date of the soldier. The nameless
graves are numbered merely, aud it is
sad to observe how many of these there
are. More sad still to find so few of
the ages on the other side of thirty.
All cut off in the flush of early man
hood, when life was sweet and full of
promise. And yet, what a nobler end
could the patriot desire than to die up
on the victorious field and sbe buried
and mourned by his grateful nation?
In this duty of caring for those who
died to defend it, the United States
Government has distinguished itself,
and commanded the respect of the
world. All the national cemeteries
bear unmistakable evidence of protect
ing care and the incest regard in every
respect in which it is possible to pre-
serve the identity of the dead and per-
petuate his memory.
The Chattanooga Cemetery is in
charge of Frederick Buntly, non-com-
missioned officer who served i'll the
United States army eighteen years. His
duty is to keep the registers, and, with
the assistance of squad of men, pro-
tect and police the place.
There are two registers, one in which
the States from Which the soldiers came
are alphabetically arranged, with des-
cription of the original burial, the name,
the rank, the regiment, date and circum-
stance of death, and original grave
mark-accurately given. The second
register, called the section book, con-
'tains the number of the grave, the Sos
ton in which it lies, corresponding with
the mortuary record, and n history in
brief ofthe soldier. From these mourn
fully interesting pages were gathered
the following statistics, which, treated
with n little more thoroughnesS than fig
ure facts usually are, may teach a useful
lesson:

A HORRIBLE THEoRY.-The approach
ing execution in Paris has revived the
old question, whether death instantane-
ously follows upon the severance of the
head from the body. In a letter to the
Gduyois, DR.. Pinel asserts that 6ecapi-
tation does not Immediately affect the
brain. The blood which flows after de-
capitation comes from the large vessels
of the neck, and there is hardly any call
upon the circulation of the Uranium.
The brain remains intact, nourishing
itself with the blood retained by the
pressure of the air. When the blood
remaining in the head at the moment of
separation is exhausted, there COM
mences a state, not of death, but of in
ertia, which lasts up to the moment
when the. organ, no longer fed, ceases
to exist. DIR. Pinel estimates that the
brain finds nourishment in the residu
airy blood for about an hour after de-
capitation. The period of inertia would
last about two hours, and absolute
death would not ensue till after the
space of three hours altogether. IF, he
adds, bodiless head indicates by no
movement the horror of its situation.
it is because it is physically impossible
that it should do so, ali the nerves which
serve for the transmission of orders
from the brain to the trunk being sew
cred. But there remain the nerves of
hearing, of smell, aud of taste.-PGH

How TO COURT IN CHURcH.-A young
gentleman happening to sit at church in
pew adjoining one in which sat a
young lady for whom he conceived a
sudden and violent attachment, was de-
sirous of entering into courtship on
the spot, but the place not being suita-
BILE for formal declaration, the case
suggested the following plan:
He politely handed his fair neighbor
Bible, opened, with pin stuck in the
following text Second Epistle of John,
verse s.:
"And now beseech thee, lady. not as
though wrote a new commandment
unto thee, but that which we had from
the beginning, that we love one anoth-
err"
She returned it, pointing to the sec
ond chapter of Ruth, tenth verse:
Then she fell on her face, and bowed
herself TO the ground. and said unto
him: why have found grace in thine
eyes, that thou shouldest take knowi-
edge of me, seeing am stranger 2"
He returned the book, pointing to the
thirteenth and fourteenth verses of the
Third Epistle of John:
Il had many things to write, but ]
will not with pen and ink write unto
thee. But / trust / shall shortly see
thee, and we shall speak face to face
From the above interview marriage
took place.

polygamy; but Mrs. Gordon, an ex-
eellent woman, and an excellent Nor
mon, believing in everything connected
with Mormonism, excepting polygamy,
says that before she got home from that
sociabIe that evening, eleven of those
women who voted in favor of poIyga-
my told her that in so voting they felt
that they had perjured themselves, and
outraged their own feelings. She asked
them why they voted for polygamy,
then. Their reply-was, Sister Gordon,
if we had not, what would have been
the result p There is the whole thing
in a nutshell. They would have been
excommunicated from the church.
Another witness testified that the
Mormons have control of nearly one
county now in Arizona, and may emf
crate there if the Government comes
down on themin Utah.

By JOIN Q. WHITTIER


He has bowed down TO drunkenness;
An abject worshiper;
The pulse OF manh0oa's pride had gone
Too faint and coldsfo stir;
Aud he had given his-sptrit mp
Unto the humbiesi thrall;
And. bowling to the poisoned cup,
He glorieG in his fall.
There came n ehange--fhe cloud rolled of.
And light fell on his brain
And, like the passing Of a dream
That cometh not again,
The shadow Of his spirit flies;
lie saw the gulf before
lie shuddcred at the waste behind,
And was man once more.
He shook the serpent's folds away,
That gathered round his heart,
As shakes the sturdy forest oak
Its poisoned vine part;
He stood erect-retIlrnIng pride
Grew terribly within.
And conscience sat in Judgment on
His most familiar sin.
p The light OF intellect a9aili
Along his pathway slicne.
And reason, like n monarch, stood
Upon its golden throne;
The honorcd and the wise once more
Within his presence came
And fingered oft on lovely lips
His once forbidden name
There may be a glory in the might
That tresdeth nations down.
Wreaths for the crimson warrior,
Pride for the hngly crown;
But glorious Is that trif,ninh hour
The disenthrnlled shalt dlssi
When evil passion boweth down
Unto the God-like mind,

The original head boards are preserv-
ed and classified, according to State and
date. Some of them contain no inscrip-
tions; some are partially inscribed,
showing haste of burial and disturbance
in the act of marking, but even these
imperfect records have enabled friends
to identify the dead where circumstances
were favorable to permanent burial and
commemoration occurred.
This cemetery has natural vault-a
cave with dip of twenty or thirty feet
from the entrance in the face of the eie-
walton, and running three hundred yards
back into cavern, with watery bed
that rises and falls with the Tennessee
river. The cavern has not been explor-
ed further than the waters edge, owing
to mephitic gas pervading it, but there
is reason to believe that it undermines
the entire cemetery.-Cor. Gin. Com.

King George of Greece is excavat-
ing the ancient Panthenaic Stadium at
Athens. He has purchased at his own
expense the land supposed to have been
occupied by the race-course, on the
right bank of the Illyssus:: and work
men are engaged in removing the de-
posts of earth. AT depth of several
feet perfect semi-circular wall of COM
pact marble has been exposed, and a
corresponding interior wall of perfect
masonry. Between these the spectators
passed, ascending through marble en-
trances-two of which have also been
discovered-to the seats in the amphi-
theatre above. These walls are sup
posed to have extended around the en-
tire length of the background, and may
be still existing. The upper end is in
perfect preservation. Parts of columns
have been found with carved work at
the bases, and other marble fragments
forming portions of the doorways and
seats. 1t will not be surp3 Using if King
Georges discoveries equal those made
along the shores of the Acropolis, which
are now only second to the Parthenon
and the Tharum. The length of the
Stadium was 600 yards, the semi-circle
end was artificial, and the natural slope
of the banks formed the amphitheatre.

NJ. Nestle of Vevay has proposed the
introduction of a new food for young
infants, to which he gives the name of
tactical .fdyi1ad. This food is composed
of perfectly pure milk evaporated in a
vacuum at a low temperature, of bread
which has been submitted to high
temperature, and of sugar. These in
gradients are Incorporated in certain
proportions, calculated to produce
food of similar composition to human
milk. If some other benefactor of his
race would supplement- Mons. Nestle's
continuance by a'patent automaton to adj
minister the maternal fluid, wonderful
results might be obtained. The old and
tedious system of bringing orphans up
by hand would be superseded, fashion
able mothers would be relieved from
the onerous task of nursing, and no one
can doubt that the crop of aristocratic
infants would be largely increased in
consequence. 1t would be only neces-
sary to consign the babe to the tender
embrace of the machine, fill the tank
with '.Lacteal Farina," connect a hose
provided with a valve opening outward.

A BURGLAR CAUGHT-Eunice Red
man, the daughter of jackson county.
Indiana, farmer, was awakened the other
night by a peculiar noise under her
chamber window. Peering out she saw
a man slowly ascending a ladder which
he had placed in position with the evil
dent intention of entering her apart
ment. Being young lady of spirit and
resolution, she instantly decided on her
course of action Keeping out of sight
and very quiet until the man was some
fifteen feet from the ground, she leaned
out, grasped the top of the ladder. and
instantly threwi it over. The fellow gave
a yell of horror which awoke the male
members of the family, who. on rush.
ing to the scene of the midnight disturb
ance, captured a stranger with broken
leg, and having upon his person sundry
burglars tools and deadly weapons.
Eunice is a spunky girl, we think. and
though country-bred, she commands our
respect almost as much as do those dear
creatures IN lace and diamonds who in
slst on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS there is a
gentleman at hand to catch and support
them-whenever spider or worm OBJ
truoes Its hdeous form upon their vision.

How TO DRESS IN STYLE AT LITTLE
ExPENsE.-If there should be any of our
readers who would like 10 receive instruc-
ton on the above important subjects, we
advise them to go to the great clothing
establishment of Mr.. H. B. Stevens, corner
OF st. Charles and Common streets. There
they will be shown as select an assortment
of goods as ever Was exhibited in Paris, at
such low prices that they will astonish the
oldest clothing man in the country. We
saw there, yesterday, real nobby English
Melton suits for only twelve dollars, and
French Cashmere and Scotch tweed suits,
eqaly stylish, and as fine as any gentleman
could desire, at prices ranging from twelve
to twenty-five dollars. Who would desire
to dress cheaper? No reasonable man, we
are sure. These prices are fsr below those
before the war, when gold and silver were
the only currency.
