UNION AND AMERICAN.
THE FAT MISSIONARY.

Washington Capital.
1t was in a fore-aud-aft schooner
That he sailed TO that far countree,
And, according 20 Captain SimminsOn,
1t was beautiful for 70 see
How warmly those heather welcomed HIM,
And bow grateful they seemed to be,
And how, in their simple, innocent way,
They patted him, now on his knee,
And now on his check, and now on his chin.
And, in short, made only too free
With the Reverend Oleus Bacon,
As was sent upon a mission
To the Islands near Eeeiee.
But have an sfidsvit
Captain SiWminsOn took afOre me,
(And SimmiusOn Is a Christian NAM,
How standin' that night on his lea,
And answering up his canvas
All ready to put 10 sea,
He noticed a FIRE on the Island
As WAS burnin' remarkably free;
But he had no idea those devils
Were making a fricassee
OF the Reverend Oleus Bacon.
As was sent upon a mission
To the islands near Feeiee.
But 50 it turned out; and therefore I say,
A. SlmmiusOn said 10 me,
j the Board of Foreign Missions
Had any eyes for 10 see
They'd never have sent man out there
a mis- iOnaTy for 70 be,
he make OF whose person was tempting
In the vtryl lst degree,
VI one a. was anyways bulgy at all,
Sull less one as bulgy as he,
This Reverend Dleus Bacon,
As was seTr upon mission
To The islands near Feeiee.
However. the Lord was in IL.
At least 50 It seems TO me,
Or something was in Mr. Bacon
As didn't at all agree
With the stOmschs Of those heather men,
But made 'em throw up quite free;
And happen 10 know what tina some hing was
II was Cav5ndish AM rappeel
Nevertheless, IL vas somewhat unfortunate
That the Reverend Oleus Bacon
Ever aTted on that mission
To the islands near Feeiee.

Rsrsnxernl organ.

Tie stomach is a revengeful organ. Ii We
assign il ndigestble food, il not only refuses td
perform its Office, but inAiets upon rs unsPeak-
able tOrtures, such az those Of Indigestion collie,
cholera mOrbus, etc. Not content with giving
US pain, it frequently inaugurases an excessive
and wasting diarrh0a, called dysentery, which
carries us to our graves. With view 70 pre-
vent these consequences, as soon as the stomach
gives notice, by prsmonitOry tWinges, that its
cargo is not tn its liking, a wineglassful or two
Of HOstetter's Bitters should be swallowed.
This admirable digestive cordial viii promptly
reconcile the refractory organ % its contents,
and prevent any OF those annoying and possibly
fatal results which the presence Of indigestible
food in the stomach is liable 70 produce. The
Bitters are also a superb tonic, restorative aud
appetizer. jy9 deOd1WSSwlt

BEWARE OF THEM.

Women should not wear striped stock
ings as they value their precious legs,
for the aniline dyes used in producing
certain colors are poisonous, and cause
the worst kind Of malignant sores
and Of all nUisances sore legs must be
the worst and most Destructive of beau
ty. Strength, grace. and good looks
are walked away on such legs. A great
American genius, the late Mr.. Haw-
thorne, has said that a white stocking
is infinitely more effective than black
one: and, certainly, white stockings
and little, low black shoes form a
cbaussUeithat has no equal for fem
mime feet and legs, and that is far su.
perior TO one that has all the colors II
the rainbow. Striped stockings on
women are as much out of place as
striped shoes would be on men.

THE BLAIR FAMILY.


Frank ?. Blair, ST., the Nestor of
administrations Montgomery Blair, a
publicist Of ability, and Frank 2. Blair,
Jr.. statesman and soldier, loved one
another supremacy, and each thought
the others the ablest men IN the nation.
The father was sure his boys we're great.
The boys were sure their father was
the ablestof Americans. Frank thought
Montgomery a RichelieU. Montgomery
thought Frank another jackson. Each
talked and wrote the others up prodi-
giously, and each has played high parts
in affairs and has extracted nothing
from them but fame. We think the
man who died young yesterday in all
respects was as remarkable as any man
of his time. He was fearless; he was
honest; he was president; he loved his
whole country and, as type-man, his
strengths and weaknesses were of the
sort that cannot be too often repro
duced or too much mulated, if Amer
icanism is to remain a product to be
proud Of.

Charleston News and Courier.
What Sherman practiced in his
march throughout Georgia and South
Carolina in lS64-'6j he preached as
early as 1868. In a letter to Gen. Hal
leck, dated Sept. i, 1868, he says that
eve the army will, if need be, take
every lie, every acre Of land, every
particle of property, everything that to
US seems proper, and that be would
keep up war, pure and simple, and
make the Southern people $50 sick of
war that generations would 3pass away
before they would again appeal to It. -
This is IN the same vein as the
declaration, year later, that
he would make Georgia howl, -
and that the Fifteenth Corps
does its work well. a simple
perusal Of the letters Of Sherman, pub
hshed by himself, viii show that such
crimes as the burning of Columbia
were, in his view, legitimate aud proper
acts Of war. But against this we can
set the opinion Of a better soldier and
a better man than Sherman, whose
Judgment was as cool and dispassiOn-
ate IN things which came home to him
and his people as in things with which
he and bis had no personal concern.
When Gen. Lee visited this State, not
long before his death, a gentle uan who
knew him well asked his opinion Of
Sherman conduct. This, it must be
remembered, was several years after
the war, when there were the same
means that there are now Of forming a
true Judgment. What passed Is given
as follows:
d. H.-"Gen. Lee, I desire to ask a
question, which you VIII please not re-
ply to If there Is any imPrOprietyin it. -
Gen. Lee-"Ask it, sir.
y H-"Was Gen. Sherman, IN his
march through the country, justified,
1lHder the USGges Of Jrar, IN burning our
homes over the heads Of our women
and children while we were in the
feld?"
Gen. Lee arose from his chair with
his eyes frightened, and said: NO.
sir, no, SIR, It 1C0S the act Of sqr1gs.
He was not justified under the usages
Of war.
This We have from the lips Of the
gentleman to whom Gen. Lee said
these words. They are worthy Of note.
and the phrase that Gen. Lee used IN
speaking of Sherman viii be remem-
bered to Sherman's shame when every
other bitterness Of the war is forgot
