81 had some neighbors once-clever,
good sort of folks; one fall four of them
were sick at one time with typhoid fever.
The doctor ordered the vinegar barrels
whitewashed, and threw about forty
cents worth of carbolic acid in the swill
pail and departed. l went into the
kitchen to make Cruel; l needed dish
cloth, and looked about and found sew
eral and such 'ragsl' l burned them all
and called the daughter of the house to
get me dish-cloth.' She looked around
on the tables. why said she, there
was about a dozen here this morning >
and she looked in the wood-box and on
the mantelpiece, and felt in the dark
corner of the cupboard. well, said,
Il saw some old, black, rotten rags ly-
ing round, and burned them, for there
is death in such dish-cloths as these, and
you must never use such again.
4 took turns at nursing that family
four weeks, and believe those dirty dish
cloths were the cause of all that hard
work. Therefore, say to every house
keeper, keep your dish-cloths clean.
You may wear your dresses without
ironing, your sunbonnets without elas-
tics, but you must keep your dish cloths
clean. You may only comb your hair
on Sundays, you need not wear collar
unless you go from home; but you must
wash your dish-cloth. You may only
sweep the floor 'when the sign gets
right the window don't need wash
ing; you can look out at the door; that
spider-web on the front porch don't
hurt anything; but as you love your
lives, wash out your dish-cloth. Let
the foxtail get ripe in the garden (the
seed is foot deep anyway, let the
holes in the heels of your husbands
foot-rags go undarned, let the sage go
ungathered, let the children's shoes 60
two Sundays without backing, let two
hens sit four weeks on one wooden egg
but do wash out your dish-cloths. Eat
without table-cloth; wash your faces
and let them dry; do without curtain
for your windows and cake for your tea,
but, for heavens sake, keep your dish
cloths clean.

solemn funeral dirges. The soldiers
formed In three sides Of square. At
one end was a coffin. Opposite was the
firing party of twelve men. Six guns
were loaded; six were empty. These
were distributed prOmiscuOusly among
the men. so that not one OF them could
tell whether or not he had fired fatal
shot.
The officer Of the guard raised the flap
of the tent and saw the prisoner sitting Oy
the table with her face buried in her arms.
In solemn voice he read the order OF the
day and che decision of the court martial,
which condemned her to be shot at
O'Clock. The chaplain then gave her
words of consolation. but in all she re-
manned unmoved. Questions were put
to her, but there were no responses. Was
she dead? Apprehending the fearful
truth, the officer approached and touched
her upon the shoulder. She did not move.
He tried to raise her head. AS he did so
the figure tum6led TO pieces.
1t was nothing but dummy, rugged out
in Miss Alice BatheleV's dress and bon
net. She had escaped, and the only in
formation we ever received of her where
abOuts was just after the war, when she
sent our commanding officer a marked
copy of Clinton paper, containing the
notice of the marriage of Miss Alict
Batheley to Capt. b. Latimer.
1t is well-knOwn fact that a few weeks
before Andrew Johnson retired from the
Presidency he pardOned two soldiers sen
fenced to Dry TOrtugas for life for assist
