THE CHURCH FESTIVAL SPOON,

Prior to the invention OF the church fes-
tival spoon there was a very widespread dis
satisfaction on the part Of the public with
religious oyster stews. The well-established
rule in preparing stewed oysters for church
festivals was that one oyster should be used
with every >quart Of water, and that in
serving customers a half of an oyster only
should be given to each one. One quart Of
oysters, in accordance with this system, was
expected to furnish sufficient food for one
hundred people, and as the original quart
rarely cost over so cents and each stew made
from it was sold for 30 cents it followed that
a clear profit of nearly $50 could be made
from every quart Of oysters. OF course
where a church festival was attended by
four or five hundred people the profits Of
the oyster department were very large, and,
indeed, in most cases averaged double those
of the ice-cream department. While this
system was financially brilliant success, it
was not satisfactory to hungry people. 1t
was complained, and with some show Of JUS
tice, that while an oyster stew ought to pre-
serve some little of the true oyster flavor
church stews tasted of nothing but warm
water and butter. Attempts were made by
liberal and public-spirited church officers
from time to time TO remedy this fault by
adding to church stews various favoring
extracts-the most popular of which was
"Smith's Ecclesiastical Oyster Essence"
The attempts, however, were uniformly fail
ures The invention of the church festival
spoon at once put a stop to all complaint
This spoon, as every one now knows, is i'm
pregnated SO thoroughly with the favor Of
the oyster that the person who uses it in
connection with any sort of food tastes moth
ing but the pure oyster flavor. During the
past winter those church festivals at which
this ingenious spoon was used were able to-
tally to discard oysters. Their oyster stews
were made Of nothing but warm water, q lit
tie oleomargarine, and a sprinkling of salt
and pepper, but when they were eaten with
the church festival spoon the customers
agreed with one voice that they had never
tasted more delicious oyster stews in the
whole course of their lives. The festival
managers were thus enabled to save the cost
of two or three quarts of oysters and to give
complete satisfaction to the public-a state
of things without parallel in the memory
Of the oldest and most pious inhabitant.

discovered in line of battle, about one mile
NcCoolls brigade in connection with Col.
Longs brigade of the Second division, the
enemy was shortly engaged and driven with
great loss, till darkness forced an abandon
ment of the pursuit, and the division biv-
ouacll6d in line Of battle.
III three a. m. of the Sd inst. we moved
with the command N rear of Gen. Turchin's
division, reaching here on the same afternoon.
We have said nothing OF the state OF
weather which has in 50 great degree pre-
vented the entire success Of the cavalry IN
harassing the enemy in his late dlsgTaceiaI
retreat from Tennessee.
From early morning of the 9th ult the
rain has fallen almost constantly and very
heavily, preventing any rapid march. For
age and subsistence has been very scarce and
difficult to obtain. The men Of this com
maud have undergone tolls, Friyations, and
exposures almost unsurpassed in this war,
and yet from no officer or soldier from the
highest 10 The lowest has one word OF COM
pLaint or nlurmuring been heard.
Every encounter with the enemy has DEM
onstGated their ability and bravery, and
their patient and cheerful endurance under
hardships shows that opportunities given
them for striking blows for cur cause an
ample recompense for all suffering.
The prisoners taken by this command
have in many cases been turned over imme-
diately upon capture to the provost marshal
at corps headquarters, especially in the affair
ut Sheibyville. We have a list Of 15S pris-
oners taken, exclusive Of those mentioned
above.
Our casualties are three killed and six Sc
verely and two slightly wounded, and three
missing.

TIE CRAVE OF JEFFERSON.

Miss Sarah n. Randolph, formerly of Vir-
ginia, in letter TO the Congressional Com
mittee which has under consideration the
question Of making an appropriation for the
erection of q monument to jefferson, saws:
The little graveyard at MonticellO-Onlyo one
hundred feet square-is ali of the 10000
acres Of land owned by Jefferson when he
entered public life which is now left in the
possession of his descendants. He sleeps,
amid scenes Of surprising beauty and gran
deur, on that lovely mountain side, sur
rounded by the graves Of his children and
grandchildren to the fifth generation. At
his side lies his wife, whom he loved with
rests the cherished friends of his youth
young Dabney Carr, whose motion in the
Virginia House Of Burgesses to establish
committees Of correspondence between the
sister colonies, leading, as it did, to the
meeting of the First Congress, has given his
name an enviable place in American history
4 little farther off lie the remains of another
devoted and distinguished friend, Governor
Wilson Cary Nicholas, Of Virginia. while
at his feet sleeps another Governor of the
old Commonwealth, his own son in law.
Thomas Mann Randolph. The modesty of
the spot is in striking contrast with the
celebrity Of its dead.
One circumstance connected with the
monument, proposed four years ago, deserves
to be mentioned. Soon after the appropria-
tion was made by Congress, Mr. ". W. Cor
coran, the distinguished philanthropist of
Washington, with characteristic munifcence,

LEE AND TIE CHAPLAINs.

BY CHAPLAIN JONES, ARMY NORTHN y VA
In & lot of old war newspaper sent the
other day to the Office Of the Southern His
torical Society I found an order which re-
called one of the most pleasant interviews |
ever hud with General Lee, and which !
have long searched for in vain, as l desired
to preserve it.
At one of the meetings of our Chaplains'
Association, held at Orange Court House, the
Rev. B. T. Lacy and myself were appointed
a committee to interview General Lee in ref
erence to the custom OF some officers of using
the Sabbath for drills and parades and Of
choosing such hours for these exercises as to
interfere very seriously with the religious
services Of the day
The old hero received us very kindly, en-
ter5d fully into the spirit of our mission, and
as n resalt of the interview issued the fol-
lowing order:
"H'DQRS ARMY NORTHERN VIRGINIA,
February 7, 1864.
"GENERAL ORDER, No, 10.
q. The attention of the army has already
been called to the obligation Of a proper OBJ
seryance Of the Sabbath, but the sense Of its
importance not only as q moral and relig-
ioUs duty but as contributing to the personal
health and well-bcing OF the troops, induces
the commanding general TO repeat the orders
on that subject. He has learned, with great
pleasure that in many brieades convenient
houses Of worship have been erected, and
earnestly desires that every facility consist
ent with the requirements of discipline shall
be afforded the men to assemble themselves
together for the purpose of devotion.
III. To this end he directs that none but
duties strictly necessary shall be required to
be performed on Sunday, and that the labor,
both Of men and animals, which it is practi-
cable to anticipate or postpone, Or the imme-
date performance of which is not essential
to the safety, health, or comfort of the army,
shall be suspended on that day.
Iii. Commanding officers viii require the
usual inspections on Sunday to be held at
such time as not TO interfere with the at
tendance of the men on divine service, at
the customary hour in the morning.
They viii also give their attention to
the maintenance of order and quiet around
the place of worship and prohibit anything
that may tend to disturb or interrupt relig-
ious exercises. ar. L. LEE, General"
have very vivid recollection Of the in
terest he manifested in what we told him of
the great revival which was making we'll
nigh every camp vocal with the praises of
God, and of the emphatic expressions Of
delight to which he gave utterance. And
when DIR. Lacy said to him: General, the
chapIaius Of this army have warm affection
for you personally, and a deep interest in
your welfare, and many of their most fervent
prayers are offered in your behalf" his face
Aushed, his eyes were moistened, and with
deep emotion he replied: Il heartily thank
them for that, and can only say that am
poor sinner, trusting in Christ alone for
salvation, and needing all Of the prayers
they can offer for me-"
At our invitation he afterwards attended
several meetings of our Chaplains' Associ-
alton and manifested the iyliest interest in
the proceedings.

AN ABSURD FIAsCo OF THE WAR.

HN HODCEAD AAHoSS vi kE NM
The first movement of the military in
Virginia, m0mentous as it then appeared,
was, says the Philadelphia Times, the most
absurd fasco Of the war. 1t was on a memo
rable Sabbath, April 21 1861, that the alarm
bell at the capitol sounded at midday It's first
call to arms The churches were crowded,
the communion about to be administered,
when the dead sounds smOte upon the air,
In an instant all was confusion, congreCa-
tions rose en- masse and fled into the streets,
delicate women shrielled and tainted, children
were knocked down and run over, while one
and all in breathless excitement demanded
explanation. 1t was promptly given. "Dis-
patches had been received by the Governor
of Virginia (A1r. John Letcher) that the
United States war ship Pawnee was moving
up the river to shell the city" Hundreds of
soldiers-intantTy, of course 1--WE had little
else then were marched down to Rockets
to meet this terrifying vanguard Of the
United States navy. Two long bronze guns
were dragged down Main street Tone Of
which broke down and was abandoned in
front of the post office, and every man and
boy in Richmond, clergy and all, armed indis-
criminately with pistols, shot-guns, swords,
slaves, rifles, in short every weapon of de
Tense that could be carried from pOp-gun
to an old fint-lock musket, fled afoot to the
expectant seat of war.
Left to themselves the women and children
next took up their line of march and fiocked
by thousands to the brow of Church Hill,
Immediately overlooking the river in which
position they must inevitably have received
the full benefit of the b0mbardment had
there been one. The city was in tumult
and the widest confusion prevailed until
twilight, when it was ascertained that the
alarm was wholly unfounded. The Pawnee
did at some time during her operations in
Virginia waters ascend the James River to
a point some fifty or sixty miles below Rich
mOnd, but at that particular moment she
was lying harmleasly at rest, and the telegram
sent from Norfolk was said to have referred
TO the Elizabeth River in which the PawHee
did make its appearance) below that city.
The retreat of the valiant army from the
battlefield, "bloodless as yet" was very
drolI, and those whose patriotic eyes had

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING.

Gov. John W. Hoyt, the present Governor
Of Wyoming, is well-kn0wn in Wisconsin,
having been for many years resident OF
Madison and secretary Of the wisconsin
State Agricultural Society, and his testl-
mony as to female suffrage in that Territory
will be read with interest by all who know
him, and who have given the subject any
degree of study. Gov. Hoyt recently said:
Some women among us have held Office,
but l never yet heard the slightest intima-
tion from any woman that she wanted any
Office. There are women who are capable Of
occupying any position in the land. l know
women who, in the Senate, would be the
peers of any man there and l say that if
such women are called to serve their coun-
try, let them serve her. But women as q
class do not desire to enter public life. As
before the Magi OF the olden time, so the
women stands before the lawmakers of this
new time, questioned Of what most pleasas
her. And now, as then, she answers: To
be loved, to be studied by her husband and
to be mistress of the house"
Mrs. Rich, daughter of the late Judge Da-
Tid Noggle, of Janesyille, Wisconsin, is q
resident of Wyoming and has recently Wis
tied friends in Milwaukee. She says that
women vote there as generally as Ilen DO
there and elsewhere; she has voted for three
years during her residence there; the cleo
tons are conducted in the most decent and
orderly manner and women discharge this
duty as thoroughly as they do Others and as
matter of course, without fuss or excite
ment. She says it is q good thing.-MjIra"-

AN EXCHANGE OF COMPLIMENTS.

During temporary lull in the conflict
attending the rebel attack on Franklin
Tennessee, General Forrest, who had seen
one of Lieutenant HOpkins's white signal
flags working, and thinking it was signal
Of weakness, sent flag Of truce to Colonel
Bird. The flag was borne by what seemed
to be an extremely courteous young rebel
officer, whose first benign salutation, was,
" All, you've surrendered, have you, --
you!" Colonel Birds officer, under the in
fluence Of passion, thus provoked, with more
regard for strength than piety or blandness
in his reply, responded, "Notmuch you -
- fool!" The conference ended suddenly,
and warlike preparations were at once re-
sumed.

AN OLD EAGLE AT TIE MASTHEAD

AN OLD EAGLE AT TIE MASTHEAD.
AS the fleet OF Federal transports was just
on the point of leaving Annapolis for Hamp-
ton Roads in October, 1861, preparatory to
starting for Port Royal, a large bald eagle
came sweeping out from. the Maryland shore,
and soaring grandly high in the air above
the feet, finally alighted on the masthead
Of the Atlantic, the headquarters Of General
Sherman and of the Third New Hampshire
regiment. In an instant all eyes were upon
the great and graceful visitor, and conjec-
lures were busy, as to whether he WAS q
loyal bird 'or some cunning secession rooster
intent on spying out the Federal strength.
The brave New Hampshire. boys gave the
bird the benefit Of the doubt, an officer per-
emptorily staying the hand Of q man who
would have shot him, and his appearance
was accepted as an omen OF success to the
expedition.

WHY THE MINE DIDN'T PAN OUT.

4 committee of stockholders who waited
upon the superintendent of California mine
TO ask why in blazes the said mine hadn't
panned out anything but assessments, were
graciously received, invited to be seated, and
the official explained: Gentlemen, you are
all aware OF the fact that we had scarcely be-
gun work when the mouth Of our mine was
blocked by a landslide. That put us back a
month" They nodded their remembrance
Then we had Just got in shape to take out
900 tous of ore, worth $4,000 per ton, when
the mine caved in. You recall it?' They
did. "Once more we bent ourselves to the
burden of reaping $500 for every $40 iC-
vested, when the mine was flooded by a sub
terranean river That was true also. Then
we had Just got the water ont when we dis
covered that our mine was located on another
mans claim. We had hiu shot TO prevent
trouble. and once more we were about to
declare q dividend of POO per cent when the
dead mans heirs put in al appearance. There
we're three of them. We chased one over the
range, had another hung by the vigilance
committee, and l am happy to inform you
that have four men out after the other. and
am every hour expecting TO hear tlat he has
tumbled of the cliff. Gentlemen, there is
hope ahead-golden hope. Please come up
and drink with me; after which there will
be another assessment of ten per cent"

A lightning rod man sits down to try and
remember how many farmers he has swim
died. He can't begin to recall names and

set out to lick" the teacher. The number
OF girls who, of course, don't take hand in,

the exact number, coming as near as you can,
without halving up nybody?
