ROLL CALL,
Corporal Green!'' the Orderly cried.

y Corporal Green!" the Orderly cried.
Here!" was the answer, loud and clear
from the lips of the soldier who stood near;
And i ere!" was the word the next replied
Cyrus Drew then silence fell
This time no answer followed the call;
Only his rear man had seen him fall,
Killed or wounded he could not tell.
There they stood in the failing light,
These men of battle, with grave, dark looks,
As plain to be read open books
While slowly gathered the shades of night.
The fern on the hillsdes was splashed with blood,
And down in the corn where the peoples grew,
Were redder stains than the peoples knew;
And crimson-dyed was the rivers flood
For the foe had crossed from the other side
That day in the face of a murderOus fire.
That swept them down in its terrible ire,
And their life blood went to color the tide.
Herbert Kline" At the call there came
Two stalwart soldiers into the line,
Bearing between them this Herbert Kline
Wounded and bleeding, to answer his name
Ezra Kerr!"-and a voice answered " Here!
Hiram Kerr! but no man replied
They were brothers, these two the sad wihd sSleo
And shudder crept through the cornheld near
"Ephraim Deane then soldier spoke;
j. eane carried our regiments colors' he SAio'
Where our ensign was shot left him dead,
Just after the enemy wavered and broke
CLOSE to the roadside his body lies;
paused moment and gave him drink;
He murmured his mothers name, think,
And death came with it. and closed his eyes.
Twas victory yes, but it cost us dear
For that company's roll, when called at night,
OF a hundred men who went into the fight
Numbered but twenty that answered " Here!'

For THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
THE MIDNIGHT REVIEW.

There are two armies; of brave,
Heroic souls who died
A sacrificial death to save
A Nations hope and pride.
The other is the living host
OF patriots who received
The yictor's meed-far Freedoms boast
And saw success achieved.
The one great army lies in camp;
Each tent, an earthly mound
Or wat'ry grave; nor sentry tramp
Is heard, nor martial sound.
Above them floats the Flag of Stars,
Which led them to the field,
And meath whose folds they wore their scars
Till death their life-work sealed.
Yet to the slumoering forms that lie,
Each in his narrow bed,
What recks it if the bright blue sky
And stars that shine oerhead
Be overcast? Their warfares DER;
Nor can the quick ming sound
Of bugle note or lannon's roar
Disturb their sleep profound.
But though their bodies thus repose,
IT'S said that once each year
A spirt-trump at midnight blows
A call that all may hear;
That then, while Mays sweet f1Ow'rs OF spring
Lie scattered DER the ground
And living comrades garlands fling
Above each grassy mound,
The heroes gather from their graves
And into columns form,
While DER each grim battalion waves
Flags, borne through battle-Storm.

The city bathed in slumber lies.
Time passes on. The bell
Tolls one; and quick each phantom flies
Back to its narrow cell.

The Superstition of Turkish Women.
TFrom Harner,s Magazine

The Turkish woman is a fanatical con-
sentative. The world in which she lives
is unmoved by the practical facts of the
nineteenth century, which makes life a
burden to her husband. No Chinaman
was ever more impervious to improve
ment. She is fercely intolerant in mat
tiers of religious belief. The teaching of
the Koran have reached her by word of
mouth, and surrounded by perfect Tai
mud of tradition, and those teaching
shape her view of the outside world. In
obedience so them she commonly hates
foreigners with passion. AS she passes
you on the street she will pray with
audible fervor that your eyes may be-
come blind, or that God may curse you.
She is superstitious in the extreme. In
sickness she will use the saliva of an
old woman who has never been divorced,
or will inhale the fetid breath of an
odoriferous and sanity dervish in pre-
ference to the choicest prescription of an
educated physician. She is assured that
satan in person teaches Americans their
skill in mechanical arts. She believes
in charms. She will not live an hour
bereft of her three cornered bit of
leather which encloses the mystic phrase
that is potent to ward off the evil eye.
She distrusts Tuesday as the mother of
ill-luck, and will not celebrate the birth
day anniversaries of her children, nor
even record the date, lest some magician
use it to cast spell against the child.

Blind Toms Memory.

The correspondent at Staunton, Va,
Of the Richmond Despatch tells this
story of Blind Toms memory: '"Twenty-
one years ago-in 1860-Prof. E. L..
Ide, a music teacher at the Wesleyan
female seminary here, attended one of
Toms concerts at Frederick, Md, and,
to test the genius of the boy, played a
German waltz then but little known,
and made some little changes of his own
in playing it. Tom played it off at once
correctly. The other night Professor
Idle asked Tom what was thename of the
hall in which he played in Frederick in
1860. Tom without hesitation gave the
name of the hall. He was then asked
who played for him and he said Profess
sor Idle. He was then asked to repeat
the piece that had been played for him
there, and sitting down at the.piano he
accurately gave it as he had heard it
from Professor Ide twenty-one years
ago, note for note, including the change
made by the professor at the time"

Starved Herself to Death.

AT Iowa City, Iowa, on Washingtons birth
day, February %, Miss Hattie DEUEL. sat down
to the table with her brother in-law, DIR. Alys-
worth and his family, and partook of very
hearty dinner, which was the last meal she ate
Despite the circumstances of her friends and
relatives, she persisted in her fast until April
18th, period of forty-seven days, when death
ensued. During the first week no attention was
paid to her abstinence from food because on
different occasions she had been known to fast
for several days at time. She called it diet
ing and said it was necessary for her, because
it was only in that way she could overcome her
bilousness. In addition to her pecuiarities
about her diet, Miss Deuel. has been for the
past five years exceedingly chary of speech, and
during that time has spoken but seldom. This
was in part owing to TIN oat difficulty that
bothered her very much. Again for time she
refused to speak because she claimed that the
tongue was the root of all evil, and she would
avoid SHINING by not using it at all. For about
eighteen months prior to the commencement of
this last fast, Miss Deuel. did not speak at ALL
She made known her wishes and desires either
by signs or writing on slate which she con-
stantly kept near her. Since she commenced
fasting she removed the interdict from her vo-
cal organs, and until she became too weak, fire.
quently engaged in conversation, although she
made no extended efforts in that direction.
A post-mortem examination held on the body
of Miss Deuel., showed that there was not a
single drop of blood in her body, and that her
stomach was entirely void of substance The
body weighed forty-five pounds.

A BILL is now before the committee on agri-
culture of the Massachusetts legislature the
decision with regard to which is of interest to
our agricultural colleges SO far as precedent
may be established in a matter which should
closely affect the interests of these institutions.
1, is proposed with regard to the agricultural
college at Amherst, to adopt the policy now
common in nearly all the New England colleges,
by giving its alumni share in its government,
instead of the self-perpetuating board of trus-
tees who have now control of the institution.
Should the bill be passed fifteen members out
side of the ex-officio trustees are to be chosen
for five years-one-third by the board itself,
eone-third by the state board of agriculture, and
one-third by the graduates.

The remarkable crime of George A.
Wheeler, of San Francisco, who strangled
his sister-in-law to death as she sat In
his lap, was coolly and graphically de
scribed by its perpet1ator. He exhibited
no traces of lunacy, and voluntarily ex-
planned his reason for the deed, which
was that he could neither marry the girl
himself nor bear to see her the wife OF
another. Having been convicted OF
murder in the first degree, he now talks
in this strain: "Do you suppose that [
would have taken that poor girls Life if
/ had been in my right senses !? Can
you imagine a sane man taking the life
of that poor, innocent, beautiful girl :?
| tell you that / was no more conscious
of what / was doing than the chair we
were sitting on.

OTHER cities which have been rather dis
posed to glory in their cleanliness and to smile
at the miseries which New York endures, are
beginning to reflect that they have direct in
terest in the condition of that city. The Bos-
ton Post speaks strongly as follows: eve do
not understand that Memphis. when she laid
herself open to- the invasion of the scourge
yellow fever,) deserved any more severe criti-
cism for neglect of all reasonable sanitary pre-
caution than New York deserves at the present
time. So is not exactly local matter in these
days when almost half the population of the
country is at one time or another in the year in
direct radius of the physical influences of that
city. Every city in the Union has a right to
protest against the development of those condi-
tons which on account of the vast commercial
and social interchange that is constantly going
on, viii make New York center of disease dis
tribution for the whole country"
