A NOTABLE SPEECH by A FORMER REB
EL.-The following is the full text of Gen.
Fitzhugh Lees speech at Norfolk, Va, on
his return home from the Bunker Hill cell
ebration -
Fcllow Citizens Of Norfolk, Ladies' and
Gentlemen: | come forward, in response
TO your calls, TO thank you for this very
fiattering reception. | went to Boston as a
guest OF your own ARTILLERY Blues" not
because l exnected to have a pleasant trip
and good time, but hope for higher,
holier purpose-for the good of our State
our people, and all sections of common
country. oh how wish ] had time to
tell you of the reception accorded TO us by
those people of Boston-of the enthusiastic
crowds that greeted us upon every occa-
sion-how the streets were lined with peo-
pie pouring out their welcomes to us and
bidding us welcome, thrice welcome.
wish could stop with you long enough to
give you some of the many interesting in
cidents OF our trip. How a sghtless SOL
dier told me, general, your boys put my
eyes out, but am glad TO see you here in
our mtdst;" how an aged gentleman,
grasping both my hands in his, said,
General, | lost two sons in the wharf.-the
only two had-but for public considera-
lions and for the nations good 1 am glad
TO sec you here at this time" How my
hand was shaken by people whose over
flowing hearts prevented single word of
utterance. Do you know what all that
means? 1t means at that end of the line
precisely what the outpuuring of your peo-
at this end OF the line to meet us on our
return means, viz THAT the people of this
country have taken this matter OF recon-
structton out of the hands of the politicians !;
that the crust which separated them has
been broken at last, and the men Of the
North and South are at last allowed to see
each other face to face. You, people of
Norfolk, have no right TO be ashamed of
your delegation TO Boston. Their bearing,
on and offduty deserves the highest praise,
and you como back to your wives and
sweethearts, conscious of having perform
ed your whole duty as representatives of
your city. This splendid welcome of
yours here shows most conclusively that
Virginia responds TO the hospitality shown
her sons in Massachusetts, and that we are
indeed upon the threshold of a new century.
| know you will excuse furthe; remarks
just now, for am very tired, though very
glad TO see you ALL

college Orchard t. Greenep distinguished
himself both as a speaker and as a writer !;

Assisting Nature,

1t is Of no use attempting to force nature. She
won't stand itSand rebels. She must be coaxed, as
were, not driven. For instance, in attempting to
overcome constipation indigestion violent or what
physicians call, by way Of euphony, 'heroic" treat
ment is sure to defeat the purpose in view which
or should be, to permanently remedy the evil. The
use Of drastic cathaics is especially to be deprecated
for although they temporarily overcome costiveness
yet the intestines are so weakened and innamed BY
them a. to be rendered unit TO perform the elective
junction properly How much better 70 assist nature
IN such case with such mild and saiutary aperient
a. Hostetterh Stomach Btters, which strengthen at
the same time that they relieve the bowels Not only
TINS result achieved by their use, but the activity Of
the torpid liver restored the stomach inyigorated
and the entire system greatly benefited.

THE SOLDIERS REUNION.

"A committee Of ex-soldiers and citizens
of Brattleboro met Commander Thomas
and Capt. Smith of Montpelier at the
Brooks House on Tuesday evening, and
instituted arrangements for holding the
next annual soldiers reunion in this place
on the 18th, 18Th and 10th days of August
next. Montpelier was the place appointed
for holding this reunion, but owing 10 the
disasters by fire which that place has sus-
tanned, its present insufficient hotel accom-
modations, etc., 1t was found impossible
for the citizens of the place 10 arrange to
satisfactorily entertain their guests on the
occasion, and hence the change TO Brattle-
boro. The following are the names Of the
committee appointed on Tuesday evening
TO make the necessary arrangements Col.
S. M. Waite, w. II. Rockwell, Mai. Z.
Wales, b. Cannon, jr,, Capt. ]. ]. Estey,
Geo. Il. Greene, Geo. L. Selleck, Col. c. A,
Miles, f. Goodhue, Col. N. c. Sawyer. The
committee are now in correspondence with
several leading orators among the ex-ofi-
GERS of the army, some one of whom will
be engaged to deliver the grafton. Gems.
Sherman and Sheridan will be invited TO
attend, together with Gov. Peck and staff,
the eX-governors of the State, and many
other prominent men. The occasion will
be one when it VIII be very desirable that
the town should put her best foot forward,
and II is believed that all our citizens will
heartily cooperate with the committee in
their efforts TO make the reunion a COM

4 LEGEND.

Ten daughters had Donald McPherson,
 Ten daughters and never a son; Like steep flight of stairs were the lassies,
 As fair as the day every one. But Donald he fretted and worried,
 And envied his neighbor Mckay, Whose boys climbed the trees and the fences An army in battle array. So strange is this world, or the mortals
 That people this planet of ours; For Mckay and his wife burned with envy And railed at poor Fate and her powers, That gave 10 that ugly MePherson
 So many fair girls as his share, And denied them one daughter to brighten And sweeten life's toll and it's care Neantipe, as the "gude folk" went fretting And storming at obstinate Fate, The boys and the girls played together
 As happy as heirs of the great. The lads made the fair lassies braver
 In roaming the banks and the braes,. While the fair lassies made the lads better And soliened their boistcrous ways. Years passed and the young people married, Tue two houses joined into one, Till each has ten sons and ten daughters, For thus the strange story doth run. The old folks then sat in the corner,
 With joy and contentment elate, The elder Mckays and McPhersons, Nor rallied any more al poor Fate

HERE is good thing on advertising from sColorado paper: We wouldn't advise any body to advertise any more than we would advise teamSter to grease his axles. Axle grease costs money and if you can't go Ca kitin" with a heavy load, why, you can trav- el along anyway, and save money for the grease. lfyour thimbles wear out a little sooner, what of that, haven't you saved the money that other teamsters have squandered for grease It is just so with advertising-it don't pay any more than it does to grease your wagon when you are about to draw a heavy load.

Every one who is worth his salt has his enemies, who must be beaten, be they evil thoughts and habits in himself, or spiritual wiekedness in high places, or Rus sians, or Border ruffians, or Bill, Tom, or Harry, who will not let him live his life in quiet till he has thrlshed them.-I Tom Hughes.

A San Francisco paper has the following: "a
gentleman Of this city was recently proetrated
BY typhoid fever, caused, as investigation by his
physician proved, by putrid water from the tank
on the roof of his house. A heavy deposit of
the green, vegetab slime which go rapidly ac-
cumulates in all of these tanks was fund in this
case. The gentleman's doctor informed him that
he had previously attended several cases Of ty-
phoid fever produced in the same way. Doctors
have several times warned householders ut the
danger to health from vegetable putrescepce in
water-tanks. These tanks are frequently not
cleaned out for years, and are then found to be
lined on the sides and covered on the top with .
heavy coating of green scum, which j. nearly as
poisonous and injurious to the qualitv OF the
water as the discharge into it of the leakage from
. water closet would be. All of these tanks
should be cleaned out monthly or quarterly. A
few pounds Of clean charcoal, in a net bag, left
in them, would tend to check vegetable decom-
position"
