AN APPEAL
FOR
THE WIDOWS AND THE ORPHANS
FROM THE
CONFEDERdfES IN UEA VEN.
AN APPEAL

From PotomaC's bright hlue waters, to
the Grande's turtid flow;
From Missouri's Western prairies, to
the everglades 50 low,
Our bones lie bleaching far and near,
on many a stricken field;
Where ere wo stood to meet the foe,
our own loved South 10 shield.
For years we marched, for months we
stood, beneath the battles smoke,
And hunger, cold and sickness faint,
would hearts less true have broke.
But cheeriulIy we bore it all, and went
down, one by one,
Each hoping, as he gave his life, your
freedom had been won.
And now we stand, glorious host, in
our home above the clouds,
And the ragged soldiers, from the
ditch, have sunbeaus for their
shrouaS;
Rough bearded men, and fair-haired
boys, are clothed alike in beauty,
For all have died at honor's post-each
one has done his dn y.
But oh. how sad our souls still feel, as
we look down from above,
And see the Famine, dark and grim,
assailing those we love;
Our aged parents, sisters pure, and be-
loved wives and babes,
Have no one lett TO work for them, since
we filled soldiers graves.
We know our country's trodden down
our banners trailed and torn;
We know our comrades did their best,
and their noble hearts now mourn;
But arc there not some favored ones,
who, from out their bouuteOus store
Will think Of us, in Soldiers Graves,
and contribute to our poor?
We were not hireling soldiers, fighting
for the pay;
"Our Country" called us "to the 'front.'"
and the call we did obey;
But now there is no Country, to feed
and cl0the the heirs,
Of those who fell in your defence, so
listen to our prayers.
From Potomac's bright blue water, to
the Grande's turbid flow;
From Missouri's Western prairies, to
the everglades so. low,
There are Widows lone, and Orphans,
and Mothers, poor and old,
And we beseech your charity to check
their hunger pains and cold.

The. Guiteau Skeleton.

Notwithstanding all reports to the
contrary, the fact is that the body
OF the assassin, G itcau, is in the
Army Medical Museum, as well as
the coffin and the closhing. The
skeleton is now being prepared for
preservation. This is O difficult
piece of work, and requires in the
medical colleges usually some two
months in an ordinary case. Posi-.
bly, in this case longer time may
be required, owing to the extraordi-
nary care which will be taken. The
limbs have been removed, and the
trunk Complied Of the several organs,
antestines, ETC.. has been cut to
pieces of convenient size for the sub
sequent operations -iucisions being
made to the bone in various places.
These pieces are placed in q vat,
containing a solution of chloride of
lime, and subsequently the flesh is
taken from the bones by maceration,
eating and scraping-the bones
being denuded of all cartilage. This
operation is probably the most diff
cult of any in the preparation of the
skeleton. The marrow must be ex-
tracted from the bones, otherwise the
skeleton would require continual at
tention and repair, as Tie marrow
would exude and emit an iutoierable
stencil. There are different modes
used in extracting the marrow, but
the most approved is what is known
as the ether treatment, which re
quires several weeks. The bones
are placed in q vat of ether and as
the animal fat is detached it rises to
the top and is skinned off. AS long
as q particle Of grouse floats in the
vat the bones are allowed to remain,
and in some cases the ether is dis
titled and its use continued. The
bones are next placed in q solution
of chloride of lime for few days, and
then exposed to the sunlight and air
for some two or three weeks, and
this completes the bleaching process.
Next the skeleton is prepared.

Distinctive Characters.
American Register.

Various and distinctive characters
figure extensively under q republican
form of government; and the people
should study and understand them, and
be able to distinguish them correctly,
and to estimate each truly according TO
his deserts.
The statesman is man OF eminent
ability and integrity, versed in the SCI
ence Of government, and the art OF gov
erning. 4 truly great statesman is guided
by elevated and enlarged views, and de-
voted to the Interests and welfare of his
country, regardless of selfish sectional
and partisan considerations.
The jurist is man of eminent ability
learning and integrity, who is versed in
the science of law, especially the civil
and municipal law and the law of the
nations.
The politician is one devoted to poll
teal affairs, and who dabbles in politics
for living.
The partisan is the adherent of party
OF faction, who devotes his time TO its
advancement, and serves his party in
stead Of his country.
The damagogue is one who employs
spcoisus and deceitful arts to deceive and
control the people, panders to popular
prejudices, aud engages in nefarious and
corrupt practices to gull and mislead the
multitude.
No honest-hearted youth ever read
the history of the ancient republics with
out burning with Indignation over the
recital of the specious and deceitful
articles of the demagogue, who, by mis-
leading the people, brought about the
final oven throw of their liberties

"WAY DOWN S0UrH IN DIXIE"
A Chat with the Author of Dixie-Some-
thing About That Individual.
Richmond VA Daily Dispatch.

While Mr.. NJ b. Leavitt's Gigantean
Minstrels were here lately playing at
the olympic Theatre, he was called upon
by representative of this paper, and
quite "A conversation ensued as to min
strelsy, past. present and TO come. While
Mr.. Leavitt was RECALLING the feportOri-
al ear with a history Of mins,reley Mr..
Dan Emmett came upon the scene.
Old Dan, as everybody else calls him
is the individual who bears the honored
distinction of being the first man who
used burnt cork on his face-the first
negro performer-and Dan has grown
old in the business, years increasing his
popularity. Mr. Emmett has lost none
If his fire or vigor Of former yeas, but
on the contrary, may be counted better
to-day than a quarter Of a century ago.
One of the more prominent features of
Mr.. Leavitt's Gigantean Minstrel Troupe
is scene entitled "Oid time Minstrel
sy." This act represents the very first
act in minstrelsy ever produced, and Just
as played upon the stage in 1910 by Dan
Emmett, and shows at once the contrast
between minstrelsy in its infancy and
minstrelsy as produced to-day under the
management of such man as Mr. NJ b.
Leavitt. Old Dan, the forty-yea favor
ite, never fails TO win applause in this
great scene, especially when he sings, as
he alone sings, Away Down South in
Dixie" Dams rendition of that veteran
song il suresto carry the audience every
time. The writer has, of course, heard it
sung hundreds Of times, and even heard
Mr.. Emmett, the author, sing il years
ago but thinks that years add only to its
beauty, and enhances the interest
thrown into it by Dan.
The writer, speaking of Mr.. Emmett,
said: Dan, how is it that you are So
lively, and still so perfect in your busi-
century upon the stage?" "Well," re-
piled the author of Dixie" IL have al

in the world to day, and would as soon
think of travelling without his violin or

HEALTH AND STRENGTH.

When you wish to renew your health !;
when the various organs of life are weak
ened BY long suffering aud distress, then
use a medicine thst will act in perfect hsr-
mony with the entire system. Use medi-
cine that will build up without tearing
down. Use a medicine that will create
healthy appetite. Use medicine that will
strengthen every part of the body and re-
move all blood impurities, thus giving diS'
ease no opportunity for reaction. Such
a remedy is DR.. Guysotts Yellow Dock and

a flight of half a dozen stone steps lead

lake to a little rustic temple set in the
ruggid side of the mountain, which rises
in stupendous proportions in the back

growth of foliage in brush and tree. In
the open door of this little temple stands
half concealed figure, with an arm and
hand extended, holding forth a small
dimly-detined package, while seated on
the sward at the foot of the steps an aged
pilgrim, barefoo.ed, lame and decrepid,
bears staff in one hand, and IN the other
holds before his dim eyes a small bottle,
whose label he eagerly scans. This label
bears the words est. Jacobs Oil, the

Crying Over Split MIX.
lIarpei's Bazar.

There are sone people so unfortunate
ly constituted that they cannot as easily
appreciate the blessings that belong TO
them as those which they have missed
are perpetually groaning over something
lost, or denied, or wasted, t. the dispar-
agement of theg goods the gods have pro-
vided. IL dish is broken or a garment
rent, instead of quickly making the best
oft, since no amount OF chatting or cry
ing will restore any injured article to its
pristine glory, they recur again ard
again to the disaster till one might sup.
pose nothing less than convnlsion of
nature would demand such a hue and
cry.
A stolen purse is a text on which inf
mite changes may be rung among this
class; and one might believe that the loss
of a nights seep could be readily re-
paired by weeping and gnashing OF teeth,
while the lamentations of Jeremiah are
weak compared TO the bewailing they
make over ruined enterprise or tickle
lover.
"We have gains for all our losses"
says the verse, but surely the gain is not
TO be secured by making ourselves and
everybody about LIS miserable on account
of our mishaps the one who bears with
fortitude calaNilies which, great or
small, are beyond her control, wins

rived from them, and makes adversties,
no less than prosperity, minister to her

il will only hasten the ravages OF time;
if moths corrupt our furs, ,fretting will not
act as an exterminator; though the early
frost kills our favorite roots, "for violets
dead, the sweetest showers can ne'sr
make grow again"
Although we are well aware that cry
ing over split milk is but so much vast
ed time and energy, yet many of us prac-
tice it with a total disregard of conse.
quences, which would be heroic if used

1t Is cold comfort, perhaps, but one
which we are apt to hug, to reflect with
bitterness upon wka. different aspect
the world would wear for us if certain
pals of milk we wot of had not mis-
