THE Chicago Journal INDUCES in a
bit OF legitimate and we'll directed sar-
casm, as follows.
The Confederates are about to enter
upon an investigation into fhe conduct
of the war, in the hope of demonstrating
to an astounded nation that the horses
in the Army of the Potomac were not
properly fed. and that the uniform of
the boys iii blue were abandoned to the
ravages OF the moth which corrupts. In
short, the vanquished Confederates ex-
pect to show that the victorious Union
armies were badly managed as regards
horse fodder and clothing, and that some
of the quartermasters were not as honest
as they should have been. Incidental to
the investigation it will be necessary to
show that the quartermas,ers, horses and
moths were all Republicans, else why
investigate?

At. STEWART is dead. He died Of
inflammation of the bowels. He was q
native of Ireland. He came to New
York q poor lad. He died the richest
merchant in America. In 1869 Grant
appointed him Collector of the Port Of
New York. The appointment, for OBJ
vious reasons was not confirmed. The
probable distribution Of wealth incident
upon the decease Of Stewart will be
very considerable. In his way, he was
a very able man.

must be said that he was handled with
care Gold Hill News.

hurt him with sledge hammer. Run
him through a threshing- machine and
he'd come out without a scratch. In
1870, in this town, an officer. after hav-
ing a piece bitten out Of his calf and all
his clothes except the waistband of his
drawers torn off of him by the fellow.

shooter until he was obliged to desist
from sheer exhaustion. He then bumped
his head against the side of cell in the
old log Jail, in Chinatown, until he split

was hand-cufed, shackled and chained

therefore no matter Of surprise that the
human nervous system is no exception to
the law The higher salubrity Of rural

leisure and pause in work, which are
very essential to the maintenance OF the

weakness at the very place where
strength is most needed. The damage
done to the health Of the most valuable
part Of the community, the best trained
thinkers, most useful workers, is incal
c"Iable. Work and worry, though not
proportional, are closely connected. and
an excess of the former soon entails an
