POETRY.
Quartette for Confederate Brig
adierS.

Prepared to be sung by Generals Hampton,
i'll, Lamar, and Chalmers.
You've figured up the Fed'ral wah?
Wen, did it pay you what it cost?
Is vlctry'' compensation fob
The half million sons you lost?
Inc thousan' million dollars spent
10 rig them out in trappings gay
For the ARRAY?
Say!
Did it pay?
AND don't you wish you'd let us went?
You whipped the Rebs'' you proudly cry;
But now the "Rebs'' have conquered you;
And Boys in Gray in office high
Are ruling over Boys in Blue.
And don't we run your Government
And in your Congress hold the sway?
We've come to stayl
Say!
Did it pay?
And don't you wish you'd let us went?
You thought you'd make the niggroes free.
Free as lord to come an go
But they amt not as | ken see,
No freer than they was befo'.
10 work they have our free CONSENT
Also to vote, whenever they
viii vote our way;
Did it pay?
And don't you wish you'd let us went?
The niggroes need to be controlled;
Wen cast their ballots man for man;
We're Dawn to rule: the power we hold
Is noah than when the wah began
We'd choose State rights president
Ii we could cast our vote to-day;
Next year we may! t.tttt
Say f
Did it pay!
And don't you wish you'd let us went?
Upon our soil your 'heroes'' rot.
Onilonely hills, by silent seas,
Without sign to mark the spot.
What have you gained to balance these?
Some dirty banners, torn and rent
And tears ON Decoration Day!
o, Hip! Hooray!
Say!
Did it pay?
And don't you wish you'd let us went?

SALT RHEUM AND DANDRUFF

Cured thai several physlcians had failed
TO treat successfully.
Messrs. WEEKS & POTTER: Genuemen,-I have
had the Salt Rheum my head and all through my
hair, also my legs, for the past four years, hav
ing suffered exceedingly with it. The dandrutf
falling from my hair was very annoying. 1 con-
suited several distinguished physicians in regard to
it, and have taken their prescriptions as ordered
but did not not find any cure and but little relief
and who have been doctored for years, that there
was cure for it; that it was in the blood, and
should always have it. and was almost inclined to
agree with them but a friend wanted me to try
CUTIcURA, made by your firm. 1 did, and to my
establishment in less than three weeks, my head
was entirely free from all Salt Rheum and Dandruf
and cannot see any appearance of Salt Rheum on
my person. Respectfully yours,
GEORGE A. NUDGE.

If the Postmaster General simply forbids
postmasters to redirect letters that have an
erroneous address. or to make any effort to
hunt up the real destination of letter when
that destination is not accurately or suffi-.
ciently stated on the letter. not much fault
can be found with his rule, and careless
writer's will have only themselves to blame
if their epistles are read first in
the Dead Letter Office. Some inconven-
ience will come to people who are in the
habit of thinking of one thing and writing
another, but the general public will not
suffer In the Post Office in this city
great deal of time and labor arc bestowed in
the endeavor to straighten out entangled
addresses; and that labor represents an ex-
pense to the government for which the
postage does not remunerate it. It may
fairly enough be argued in Washington
that the government is not under any obli-
cation whatever to pay clerks to do for care
less correspondents what they ought to
do for themselves. But the rule that letters
shall not be delivered unless the address
on the cover includes the name of the

even if there should be small towns of the

name the State is a sufficient indication
that the conspicuous and well known city

justification for this order, but it is very
clear that it's extreme application is COM
trary to common sense.

In feats of this nature -feats that involve

tice-whether done thus in playday .exhi-

OF this sort are one part of navy and ships
are another; and while by comparison with
other great maritime natips OF the earth we
are decidedly poor in ships we are at least as

A Capital OF Human Indolence.

There is young diplomatist in Vienna
GUS duties to sketch out plan for putting
an end to Turkey in Europe and making
Constantinople and the Golden Horn the
paradise of the world. The said young
diplomatist has, il must be admitted.
brilliant imagination, and his plans
must commend themselves at once to
popular fancy. The first part OF the young
diplomatist's scheme is somewhat prosaic,
but must be carried out in order to permit
the accomplishment of his dreams for the
Golden Horn. First, Turkey must be rele-
gated TO Asia, just as Mr.. Gladstone sug-
gested, and the territory still unclaimed
should be divided thus:-Epirus, Mace
donia, Thrace and Thessaly should be
given to Greece; Antivnri and part of AL
bania to Montenegro; the rest of Albania to
be added to Dalmatia and to go to Austria
along with Bosnia and Herzegovina, while
Eastern Roumelia should become an
independent principality extending up to
tho Tchalaldja lines, and be placed under
an Austrian protectorate. This done, only
ton Of the beautifully situated city the
young diplomatist displays genius of the
most picturesque quality. Old Europe, he
urges, is weary Of her old pleasure grounds
of Monaco, Nice, Homburg. She needs
grnnder scene of amusement than she
at present possesses, and he urges that
Constantinople shall be created the
Capital Of Human Incidence, the es-
sence of all the cities, where the un-
occupied many strive to amuse them
solves. To this end the city, with the
Bosphorus on one side and q strip Of land
running up to Tchalaldja, will be declared
a free port and city. 1t will have
prince whose exchequer will be supplied
by the wealth OF the whole world, and
who will farm out the city to an immense
finance company. The city will bo con-
verted into series of hotels, caravansaries
and gaming houses. On the Tchalaldja
side it will be surrounded by vast park
sixty miles long by thirty broad. Along
the shore will rise sumptuous villas, con-
nected by new streets with the interior Of
the city. Theatres of all languages, aoad-
emies whore eloquence and poetry will
have glorious temples, will supply the
mental pleasures, and oil that modern
luxury and science have invented will
abound. In the evening the Bosphorus,
lit up by thousand lamps and plouehed
by o thousand boats, with singers and
musicians, will eclipse Venice in its palmy
The New York herald., 1879-10-15

days, and railways in all directions, with
luxurious carriages. will carry to and iro
those not tempted by the most sumptuous
steamers. And to make the city picturesque
few rich and well-bred Turks will be
allowed to remain in it. This is the
young Austrian diplomatist's most original
plan, which is forever to remove the jeal-
ousies of those European nations who are
waiting to seize the Sultan's capital when
ever the opportunity offers. The young
diplomatist has surely happy career in
waiting for him, and only needs
a prince of fanciful turn of
mind to enable him to make a
glorious name in the world. Perhaps the
most eligible prince at present out OF Office
would be the ex.Khedive, who is said to
have capital Of some thirty millions of
dollars slowed away somewhere, with which
an earnest attempt could be made to create
this wonderful Capital of Human Pleasure
and Incidence. At any rate the plan, if
not altogether feasible. has an infinite
amount Of seductiveness about it.
