THROWING A BADGE OVER TIE BLOODY
CHAsM.-A badge taken from the dead
body of Lieut.. J. A, Gage, who fell at the
battle of Spottsylvania Court House,
May II, 1864, has recently been returned
to 8. L. Gage. by Captain Dominick. of
prosperity, South Carolina. who writes
II would have returned it earlier, but
did not know where and to whom to send
1t. You ask where your brother was
buried. In the trench, near where the
tree was shot down. Any of his com
pnny know where that was It was
about fifty yards Northeast of tho tree.
AS he was buried with lot of soldiers,
it would be nearly or quite impossible to
distinguish his remains from those of
his command. 1 can say he died at his
post doing his duty nobly. Such is the
result of war. l hope there is better
feeling existing North and South, and
that we soon will be us in former years,
one family rs nation" The badge was
forwarded by express, and reached this
city day or two ago. 1t is probable
TINT Captain Dominick was present when
the remains of the officer were buried
and took the badge from the body, and
after having it in his possession nearly
eleven years, is finally able to return it
to the friends. His letter is the first
satisfactory account received of where
the lieutenant WAS killed, and how ho
was buried.

TIE BLOODY SHInr BUSINESS. The
published declarations of Hon. W. d.
Kelley, in regard to the condition of af
fairs in the South, excite the anger of the
third term schcmers. The kitchen organ
OF the White House, yesterday morning,
spoke very disrespectfully of Judge Kci-
| ley; and two members Of the Cabinet. in
speaking Of him to-day, were still more
severe. but Judge Kelley is not the only
prominent Republican who has returned
from visit to the South with his eyes
opened. Henry Wilson bore equally
strong testimony to the loyalty and fcalty
Of the Southern people to the Union. and
to their disposition to deal justly by the
! colored man. The truth in, the Republi-
cans have no other iss ue than the bloody
shirt one on which to make the fall CAM
paign. The only hope the prominent
leaders of that party hcrenbouts have, is
that the fifty or sixty Confederate gene
rals elected to the Forty y-fourth Congress
will make cgreaious asses of themselves.
This, at the best, is very slim thread
to hang heavy hopes on, for, as a rule.
soldiers are not SO radical and irrepressi-
BILE as the politicians, who were always
valiant when there was no enemy in
sight. Now, the only two Southern men
IN the last Congress who were Mt nil in
discreet in their utterances, were not SOL
diers; and. on the other hand, every
Confederate general in the last Congress
WAS conspicuous for his CONSERVATIVES

shingles on the roof of the house. The
hail was the size of guinea and hen eggs.
The first plantation struck in Edp.field

At present, it is impossible to make IN

Tiresorne People.

No one goes through the world
clear of the cobwebs woven about his
feet by tiresome people. They beset
him on all sides, for very few men
and women are to be found who are
not tiresome in one direction if salts
factory in another, and many are tire
some all through. Social life is pen
etrated from cad to end by these tire
some people-people who never do
the right thing at the right time, and
who are always doing wrong things
and foolish ones; people who are not
to be relied on for punctuality, tact,
discrimination, complaisance people
who come too early or go away too
late, or do not come at all when they
have been specially asked for grave
reasons touching the success Of the
whole arrangement, and whose refus-
al or failure makes wreck of every
thing; people who bring forward sore
objects, rattle the family skeletons,
spend the evening in unfurling red
flags, shuttle from place to place and
point to point, expressly for the pleas
ure of trcading on their neighbors'
corns; people who confound together
two mcu who hate each other, mis-
taking waning beauty for a confess
ed fright; or woman of distinction
carrying her head high for a woman
of no account dozen degrees below
her in the social scale; people who
never sec signs nor take hints, and
who blunder into family messes and
social IA with the most annoy
ing obtuseness. All these are not bad
people, not wicked, corrupt, heart
less, abominable. They may, on the
contrary, be very good honest folks,
true-hearted aud straigkt-minded.
But they are tiresome, and as such
objects OF dread as they are causes of
dismay.

Cheap Pleasure.

Did you ever study the cheapness
of pleasure? asks some writer. Do
you know how little it takes to make
amultitude happy? Such tfi1es as a
penny, word, or even a smile, do
the work. There are three boys pass
ing along; give them each n chestnut,
and how smiling they look! They
will not be cross for some time. a
poor widow lives in the neighbour
hood, who is the mother ofhalf-a-doZ-
en- children. Send them a half-peck
of sweet apples, and they will be hap
pv. A child has lost his arrow-the
world TO him-and he mourns sadly
help him find it, or make him another,
and how quickly will the sunshine
play over the sober face! Alloy has
as much as he can pile up-a load Of
wood-assist him a few moments, OF
speak a pleasant word to him and he
forgets his toll and works away with
out minding it. Your apprentice has
broken a mug, or cut the vest large,
or slightly injured a piece of work,
Say, "Ycu scoundrcl,." and he is mis-
cradle; but remark, IL am sorry,"an
he will try to do better. You en-
ployed a man, pay him cheerfully,
and speak a pleasant word to him.
and he leaves your house with a con-
tented heart to light up his own with
smiles and gladness. AS you pass
along the streets you meet a familiar
face; say "Good morning" as though
you felt h ppy, and it will work adj
mirably in the heart ofyour neighbor.
Pleasure is cheap. Who will not be-
stow il literally? If there are smiles,
sunshine and flowers all about US, let
us not grasp them with a miser's fist
and lock them up in our hearts. No
rather let us take them and scatter
them about us-iu the cot of the wild
ow, among the group of children, in
the crowded mart, where men OF bust
ness congrcgate, in II families and
everywhere. We can make the wretch
ed happy, the discontinued cheerful.
and the afflicted resigned at an ex,
ceedingly cheap rate. Who will re-
fuse to do il?

The announcement on Sunday morn
ing, Nov. goth, as it passed from one to
another, ."John II. Bohn is dead" fill
ei many hearts with sadness and not a
few with mourning. And why should
it be otherwise, when we consider how
much he had endeared himself to the
community, by living above reproach
to an extent that naturally made him
the subject of universal respect. His
moral and business integrity was be-
yond all possible question, as he was
particular to the last in fulfilling every
contract-in meeting every known OBJ
legation. Industry was 4 passion with
him, and that he was a model for all
business men, need not be mentioned
here. As a kind husband and father,
he considered no sacrifice or effort too
great in order to promote the complete
happiness of his family, and the same
IL ats that distinguished him among his
neighbors as a citizen, a husband and 3
father, were alike peculiar to him as a
christian.
The brief facts Of his life here men,
toned, are CLEANED from a manuscript
written by Mr.. Bohn some time ago and
sealed in an envelope, upon which was
inscribed, "To be opened after DEATH"
He was born zeal Berlin, Adams co.,
Pa, June 9Th, 1868; was taken in the
Lutheran Church by Rev. Speck in
1922 and remained as a member until
1912, when he came to Ohio, and there
being no Church of this denomination
he had no preference but attended al
places of worship. In 1922 he set in
to learn the Drug business, at which be
remained until 1928, and then went to
Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, Pc,
and opened business for himself. In
1880 he was Joined in wedlock to Miss
Henrietta George, who still survives
him, and in his w language, 'has
indeed proved a h~elp-mate." Five chill
dren was the result of this happy union,
three sons and two daughters, four of
which survive their aged and respected
parent. In 1912 Mr.. Bohn moved to
the town of Camden, where he engaged
in the Drug business, and lived honor
ed and respected until his death. He
was twice appointed Post Master of his
place. In respect to the memory of the
deceased, all business of his home was
suspended during the funeral services,
which was conducted by Rev. Mr.. Col
myer, of Oxford, in the NJ. E. Church.
His remains were deposited in the Gem
etery half mile north of Camden, fol-
lowed by a large %concourse of sympa-
thising and mourning friends. REoI-
