RATTLEFIELDS AROUND RICHMOND.

The battlefields around Richmond
are quiet meadows now, reclaimed by
nature, with few signs of the days of
" blood and iron.'' At Cold Harbor,
Fair Oaks, Seven Pines and Malvern
Hill, one sees little to remind him of
the terrible scenes enacted there twelve
and fifteen years ago. In the woods
and on the hillsides and river bluffs in
the Peninsula, where no attempt has
been made to cultivate the land, sloping
earthworks are still to be seen, but
elsewhere the entertainments have been
leveled. Below Petersburg there are
few traces even of such formidable for
tifcations as Steadman, Hell and DAM
nation. The Crater and the fields
around it are owned by Mr.. Griffiths,
who was born close by, and was in
Petersburg when the mine was fired.
He has built house near the Crater,
and now has his fathers farm under eX-
cellent cultivation. The Crater itself
has been left almost untouched, and a
thick underbrush of peach trees and
sprouts has sprung up from the pits
thrown away by the soldiers during the
siege. The ravine, where the dead lay
in great heaps on that terrible morning,
has been brought under the plow year
after year until now only slight de-

A SOLEMN WARNING.
TKcokuk Constitution

[kcokuk constitutional
A gentleman who takes and pays
for his paper, entered his place of busi-
ness the other evening and found a
man who never spends five cents for
a newspaper, reading tho one left at
the store, as usual. The merchant
didn't ask for his paper, but snt down
and concluded to time the man and
see how long it would be before he got
possession of what was his own. The
sponge read the local, then the tele-
graph, then the editorial, and after
wards tho miscellany. He had con-
sumed nearly an hour by this time,
when he turned to read the advertise
ments. 1t was too much, and the mer-
chant put a keg of gunpowder be-
meath him, laid a train, fired it, and
blew the sponge nearer to heaven than
he could possibly have reached by his
own cXertions.

An odd love match is recalled by
the death of the widow of Thomas
Placide, the actor, in her SD year. 1t
was only ten years ago when she mar
ried Placide, who was twelve years her
junior. The match attracted attention
because the disparity of their ages was
the reverse of custom, and also through
a romantic story of their long attach
mcnt. Tom Placide came of a family
of actors. His elder brother Harry
and himself went on the stage when
young, and became favorites through
out the South. Tom was born in
Charleston, where he fell in love at the
age of 20 with Mary Ann Knight who
was 80. She did not encourage his suit,
deeming herself too old for him, but
married a man named Davis. Tom
remained a bachelor until 1868, when
he met Mrs. Davis, who had become a
