BAD BLOOD,

volume, "bringeth forth not good fruit .
nor can corrupt blood impart health,
beauty and good flesh, or spirits. "The
Blood is the Life" and health can only
be enjoyed in its full perfection where
the blood is kept in pure and uncor'
rupted state, hence the necessity of pure
blood, to give health, beauty, buoyan'
spirits, long life and happiness.
An impure condition of the blood,
manifests itself in different forms Of
diseases, such as letter, Salt Rheum
Scald-head, Ring Worms, Pimples, Boils
Blotches, Spots, Eruptions, Pustules
Carbuncles, Sore Eyes, Rough Skin
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Tu'
mors, Old Sores or SwelHngs, Syphilitie
Affections of the Skin, Throat and
Bones, Ulcers of the Liver, Stomach,
Kidneys, Lungs and Uterus.
In this condition of things something
is needed at once to cleanse the blood,
and neutralize the insiduous poison that

to the spirit-world; he knocked at the
gate of the New Jerusalem, and 1t was
Opened unto him. The books were
opened: he was asked, "Did you ever
belong to any secret society?" To
whicli he replied, II did-to the Gran

The Confederate Dead.
EY COL. THEODORE o'HARA,

CThe following lines are unsurpassed
by anything of their kind IN the En-
gfish language. They. are tourching
beautiful, eloquent and grand. one o.
the stanzas now adorns q monument IL
Boston cemetery. The author, gallant
soldier-poet of the G.. S. A., is now
dead. He was OH Gen. Breckinridge's
staff.
The muff1ed drums sad role was beat,
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
The brave and daring few;
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No answer to the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind:
No vision of the morroW's strife
The warriors dream alarms
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are rel with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed In dust,
Is now their martial shrOud;
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
Their red stains from each brow,
And their proud forms in battle flushed
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing steed, the flashing blade,
The trumpet's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Not wars wild note, nor glory's peal,
Shall fill with fierce delight,
Those breasts that never more shall feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the dread northern hurricane
That sweeps his broad plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe;
Our heroes felt the shock and leapt
To meet them OH the plain;
And long the plying sky hath wept
Above our gallant slain.
Sons of the consecrated ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps anu tongues re-
sound
Along the endless air;
Your own proud lands heroic soil,
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil,
The ashes of her brave.
So meath their parents turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers breast,
On many a bloody shield;
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred hearts and eyes watch by
The soldiers scpulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the bloody brave;
footstep here shall tread
The herbage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot,
While fame her record keeps;
Or honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless tone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanquished age hath
Thestosy how you fell. ,-ss-,
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters
blight, :
Nor times remorseless doom
Shall dim one ray of holy light
That gilds your glorious tomb.

Fashion Notes.

English light woolen fabrics are il
general favor with Partisan dress
makers.
Tweeds, serges, twills and diagonal,
are trimmed with ostrich feathers il
their natural tints.
The lace scarfs are having quite 6
popular run. Among the new styles
are ecru lace, similar to yak in color and
pattern, price $6.75, and the white
Spanish ones for $12.
The size of parasols is much increas
ed and far more decided than hereto
fore. Very handsome changeable serge
silk ores, with fancy pearl handles,
sell for Sc, 81 and So.
1t is said that bias stripes, and foun.
ces cut on the bias, are entirely out OF
fashion. 1t has been the style of trim.
ming so long that one does not give this
news without hesitation.
Floral ornaments were never more
varied; whole nosegays are worn on
the head beetles, flies, butterflies and
birds are less fashionable than tufts OF
daffodils, primroses, wall flowers and
Parma violets.
Some of the most fashionable shoes
now are made of kangaroo skin. One
of the features claimed as an improve
ment is that it does not rub off, stretch,
or caack. The prices range between
So, SO and $40.
The new bonnets are peculiar, and as
a rule not at all becoming, no matter
how much trimming is put on. Stately
matrons look absurd in the spring
headgear, and young girls altogether
too jaunty to be genteel.
The newest robe for deep mourning
is made with a tablier front of drawn
double Grape the train and sleeves
are of paramatta, faced with Grape the
bodice is entirely covered with the
same, as we'll as the fraise inside of the
stand-up collar around the neck. The
toilet is called Chiselhurst.
A double chatelaine braid on the
back of the head is newer than the
single braid now so generally worn.
Smooth hair parted in the middle, and
disposed in large waves, is the favorite
fashion. Finger puffs are arranged on
the back of the head, instead of braid,
for dressy coiffures.

The Wonders of Australia.

The Brisbane (Australia) Courier
publishes the following official telegram
from Mr.. Walter Hill, the Government
botanist, dated from Cardwell, and re-
ceived by the Queensland Secretary of
Lands "We have examined the banks
of the Mulgrave, Russell, Mossman,
Daintree, and Hull rivers, and have
been more or less successful in finding
suitable land for sugar and other tropi-
cal and semi tropical productions. The
ascent of the summit of Bellenden Kerr
was successfully made by Johnstone,
in height we observed an undescribea
tree with crimson flowers, which excels
the Poinciana regia, Colvillia racemosa,
Lagersstroma regia, and the Jacaranda
mimosifolia. At 4, 400 feet tree of
fern, which will excel in grandeur all
others of the Alboreous class. A palm
tree at the same height which will rival
any of the British-India species in
gracefulness. On the banks of the
Daintree we saw a palm tree cocoa,
which far exceeds the unique specimen
in the garden of the same genera from
Brazil in grandeur and gracefulness.
While cutting a given line on the banks
of the river Johnstone, for the purpose
of examining the land, an enormous fig
tree stood in the way, far exceeding in
stoutness and grandeur the renowned
forest giants of California and Victoria.
Three feet from the ground it measured
$50 feet in circumference /; at tifty-tive
feet, where it sent forth giant branches
the stem was nearly eighty feet in cir
cumference. The river Johnstone
within limited distance of the coast
offers the first and best inducements tc
sugar cultivation"

Five Legal Distinctions.

Turner's dog had bitten off Hadley's
cows tail, and there was conflict in the
testimony as to whether the dog was
acting on his own free will, or whether
he was obeying the commands of his
master. The jury would have been
troubled to make verdict had it not
been for the following very explicit in
structions of his Honor, the Court
First-The Court instructs the jury
that if they believe from the evidence
beyond the influence of a reasonable
doubt plaintiffs cows tail was bitten
off by defendants dog, they should
find for the plaintiff, and assess his
damages at such sum as they think the
tail was proven to be reasonably worth,
not to exceed the amount claimed in
the petition.
Second-The Court further instructs
the Jury that if they believe from the
evidence that the dog was acting on his
own responsibility, and not under the
control of defendant, then the case par
takes necessarily of the nature of a
proceeding in rem, and they must find
for the defendant and against the dog.
Third-The Court at the instance of
defendants attorney further instructs
the jury that a COW knoweth not the
value of tail until after she loses it,
and in assessing the damage they have
right to take into consideration all
the facts and circumstances in the case |;
the disadvantages as we'll as the advan-
tages of cows tail the value to the
COW, the information gained by the loss
of the tail, and deduct said sum from
the total assessment.
The jury retired and returned with a
verdict in the words and figures follow
ing, to wit (: "We, the jury, find for
the plaintiff one dollar and fifty cents.

room rose with excitement, all except
Emory Sudler, who fell in dead faint,
and Kite, who, crying, "he's gone p
crouched and hid his eyes shuddering.
Judge Robinson adjourned the Court
at once. Next morning Emory Sudler
was missing, and Matthew Merritt
came into Court and confessed his
share in the conspiracy. Testimony
was taken for two days longer, both to
show what Emory Sudler's character
was, and to prove the affectionate rela.
ton that had subslsted between Syl-
vester Sudler and his wife. Then the
case was given to the jury, who had al.
ready agreed upon their verdict from
the moment of Kite Stinson's dramatic
testimony, and the opportune appear.

BUG Poison. strong alum water is
a sure death to bugs of any description.
Take two pounds of pulverized alum
and dissolve in three quarts of boiling
water, allowing it to lie over the fire
until thoroughly dissolved. Apply
while hot with brush, or what is bet
ter, use syringe to force the liquid in
the cracks of the walls and bedstead.
Scatter also the powdered alum freely
in all these places, and you will soon be
rid of those insect nuisances which fill
! one with disgust.

And my heart was sore

With the hope 1 was dear to him.
For his words were cold,
And his parting told
Me the warm love-throbs to still
But my passion wild,
Like wayward child,
Would not yield to Reasons will.
I had loved him long,
Though knew twas wrong,
For he gave me no look or word;
Yet, passing me by
With careless eye,
The chords of my heart were stirred.
I've seen him smile
On the lovely, whilo
He has sometimes frowned on mo-
Yet his name and face

I will keep them there,
And oft in prayer
His dear name I'll watt above;
And the angels alone,
When the night-winds moan,
