AndersOnyille To-day.

Anderson, says a letter to the Gin
cinnati Journal, is the name of a sta
ton on the Southwestern railroad,
about sixty miles from Macon. 1t is
nothing but a railroad station, and the
only thing that characterizes the spot
is the immense Union cemetery of
some twenty acres, over which floats
the star spangled banner. The ceme-
terry is constructed on the spot where
the prisoners were buried, and the
trenches were dug with such precision
and regularity that the soldiers were
not disturbed, but allowed to remain as
their comrades inferred them, working
under the watchful eyes of the GeOr-
gia home guard.
The cemetery is surrounded by a
stout wall, with an iron gate, and is
under the supervision of superintend-
ent, who lives on the grounds. 1t is a
plain spot. There is not much attempt
made to ornament our city of the Fed
eral dead. Itwould take great deal of
even such influence as plants and flow
ers possess to dispel the melancholy
memories that haunt this hill in the
pine woods of southern Georgia.
There are actually buried on this ele-
walton 1875 men. The soldier
whose identity was preserved by his
comrades is marked in his resting
place by white marble stone rising
ten inches above the ground. A
square block with the word "Un-
known" on it is repeated about 1000
times in the cemetery.
Part of the stockade is still standing
There are two rows of trees lone in
side the other. The outer row has
ldlltil 'lON IL, odNt IL lCW lONo VI JONlS
here and there, but large part of the
inner wall still stands. Trees have
grown up around the old pen, and a
thick growth of underbrush now COW
ers the site of the prison. No traces
of the famous brook that ran through
the stockade remain, nor of the Won
derful well dug by the prisoners.
1t is all now mild and peaceful Sec
ton of the country. Many of the sol
diers in the cemetery have handsome
headstones lifted to their memory by
friends in the north, and efforts are
frequently made to have certain
graves "kept green" with flowers and
| shower not.

CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS.

Henry M. Stanley's mother is an
inn-keeper at the little Welsh village of
Cross Foxes. The explorers stepfather
is a thatcher and tiler in the village,
and had never seen LONDON until his
adopted son brought him thither when
the African explorer was the lion of
the day.
The feats have been accomplished OF
shearing wool from the sheep, carding,
spinning, dyeing, weaving, and making
it into a suit of clothing complete
within a single day, and in a like space
of time an entire suit of clothes has
been made from cotton that was in the
bolls when the day began.
An account, by Professor G. w.
Kraft, of an ice palace built at st. Pc
tersburg in 1740 contains the remark
able statement that an ice cannon was
also made, from which, with charge
of quarter of pound of powder, a
bullet was driven through plank two
inches thick at a distance of so PAGES.
The hurricane of 1866 blew over
hundreds of thousands of cocoanut
trees in the Bahama islands. Instead
of dying, they not only kept on grow
ing in their horizontal position, but
sent up shoots from the top These
shoots are now from forty to fifty feet
in hight, and yield an abundance Of
fruit.
Pliny informs us that the art OF
making glass was accidentally discov-
cred by some travelling merchants who
had a large quantity of inter with
them. Not finding stones to rest their
kettles upon, they employed some
pieces of inter for that purpose. The
inter, gradually dissolving by the heat
of the fire. mixed with the sand, and a
transparent matter flowed, which WIS

Silk jerseys, gloves in strawberry
red, pale yellow, nuns gray, and black
will be more in vogue this summer
than kid gloves of any sort,
In French importations of costumes
the polonaise reappears once and again
in varied forms, and with endless styles
of drapery and garniture.
Pale yellow and bright gold are the
colors triumphant even in floral garni-
ture. The gaudy sunhower has sunk
into oblivion, but is replaced by prim-
roses, cowslips, marigolds, kingcups
Narcissus, and marshmallows.
Furnished gold, mandarin yellow,
and the creamy shade of raw silk are
the tints in yellow more favored this
season than that of old gold or copper
color, SO fashionable last year; while
sage green has given way to peculiar
lcaden-green known as porphyry; and
cadet blue is replaced by nemophilac-
the color of that flower.

LADIES' DEPARTMENT.
Five Points OF beauty.

One of the largest fortunes ever
realized in America, says the New
York World, was made by the owner
Of an old-fashioned crimpingpin, which
lady had patented in Washington.
The woman who can invent a material
which will closely resemble the skin
of the head, will find millions awaiting
her! Nature generally understands
what is best when she gives brunette
black hair, and enliyens a very white
skin with red locks, but in foreheads
she really does seem to make mistakes,
and by the judicious arrangement of
hair homely face can often be made
pretty, The French speak of the " five
points of beauty" When the hair is
combed back straight from the face and
grows in point on the forehead they
draw it to two other points in the CEN
ter OF the temples, and to still two others
close to the ears, and contend that so
embellished no woman, no matter how
homely her features may be, can fail
to be attractive. BE this as it may,
many a woman owes her reputation as
beauty to her couture. A young
lady in Washington, who was by
no means remarkable beauty, came
out Of fever with a perfectly bald
head. Her hair did not and would not
grow. So finally she ordered from
Paris three or four wigs of beautiful
red gold, and these actually transform
ed her from fright into belle. The
same thing may be observed on the
stage, where an ordinary woman cap
lures whole parquette with blonde
wig.

Boys are apt to think that a fOrgiy-

sop, but that to show resentment is
an exhibition of manlness. The fact
is, as an English writer allirms, 1.-THE

towards have even fought, but Il
coward never forgave.' An anecdote
associated with the great Methodist,
John Wesley, and General Oglethorpe,
the founder of savannah, Ga, illus
trateS the writer's meaning.
Mr.. Wesley and General Oglethorpe
sailed in the same ship to Americas.
One day, during the voyage, the cler-
gyman, hearing an unusual noise in
the generals cabin, stepped in to in
quire the cause of it.
"Mr. Wesley, you must excuse lie"
said the general, showing Il good deal
Of temper. Il have met with a prov
ocation too great for man to bear. You
know the beverage that agrees with
me the best of any, This villain

rascal should have taken care how he

Then l hope, sir, that you never

in the face.
COMPOUNDED at the mild but pungent
reproof, the general took bunch Of
keys from his pocket and throwing
them to his servant, said:

A Russian Legend.

The Russians in the Ukraine tell a
queer story about whistling robber of
olden times, who evidently was per-
son of gigantic proportions, for he was
in the habit of sitting on nine oak
trees at once. One of the nicknames
given to him was Nightingale" on
account of his extraordinary whistling
powers. Should an unwary traveller
come across his path, he would whistle
so melodiously that his victim would
quickly faint away, whereupon he
stepped forward and killed him out
right. AT last, however, a well-known
hero, by name lila Marometz, deter
mined to subdue the robber, and, having
shot him with an arrow, took him pris.
oner, carrying him off to the court OF
Grand Prince Vladimir. Even there
he proved dangerous, for when the
grand prince, merely from curiosity
commanded him to whistle, the grand
princess and all the royal children
being present, the man commenced
whistling in such an overpowering
manner that soon Vladimir with his
whole family would inevitably have
been dead had not one of his brave
courtiers, perceiving the danger, got
up and shut the whistler's mouth

A London letter says: One of the
the most charming and admired ac-
tresses in London helped invent the
Jersey" Her companion in inven-
ton is the wife of an Irish peer. One
day the actress, Miss H., with her
maid called upon my lady (they are
great friends) and carried with her Il
pair of tights she had just bought to
wear as "Rosalind " in "As You Like
It," Miss II. pulled part of the elastic
silk goods across Lady BIS beautiful
arm and said: "Oh, if one could get
a corsage to fit like that"
"Let me have them one moment"
exclaimed Lady B.
She drew the tights around her
shoulders. Miss II. pinned them to
her dress, and there at that moment
was born the inspiration of the jersey
we all wear and never tire of. Lady B. S
brougham was called. She and Miss
II. drove hastily to the theatrical cos
tuners, ordered another pair of tights
as the material could not be bought
The skirt and train from Paris was
used; not so the Corsage. Lady B. S
maid run it together - it was literally
sewn on, and never did costume excite
so much admiration and curiosity as
this symphony in gray velvet and
satin, with the marvelously fitting cor
sage. No woman knew how the cor
sage was gotten into. There was no
sight or even hint of fastening. No
one thought of the elastic silk material.
Little by little Lady b. and Miss H..
perfected the jersey, and wore it quite
three months before any one caught
the idea. Then a prominent Bond
street milliner discovered it and charg-
ed from thirty to fifty guineas for
them. Mrs. Langtry was among her
first customers, but she did not wear
the Jersey until long after Lady B.
and Miss II.
