Who Wrote That Bogus Order!

To THE EDITOR: At the time Longstreet
besieged Suffolk, Va, in the Spring of 1863,
among the re-enforcements sent us was a regi-
nent of new troops from New York. They
were encamped so that their right wing over
Tapped our left; and, like most other new regi-
ments, they paid but little attention to the
sanitary condition of their camp. / learned
that they were not attached to any brigade,
and, also, that the Third Brigade, Third Divis-
ion of our corps had but three regiments in
it. So told comrade that if he would carry
the order would write one that would cause
them to change location. To this he consented
Accordingly, wrote a special order for the
til n. Y. to report at headquarters at a GER
tain hour with everything packed, to be as
signed position in the Third Brigade, Third
Division of the Army Corps. The Colonel pa
raded his regiment in front of headquarters at
the appointed time, only to find that he had
been humbugged. He had the order, but no one
at headquarters knew anything about the mat
ter. SO the regiment returned to the same
position they had formerly occupied. But the
next day brought genuine order from head
quarters, assigning the regiment a position in
the Third Brigade, Third Division also, an
order offering go days furough to the officer
or soldier who wrote the bogus order; but your
humble servant did not want furlough at that
time. Consequently, suppose the matter re-
manned a mystery at headquarters, and also to
the regiment. 1T this should meet the eye of
Gen. Peck or his Adjutant-General Qves), or
any member of the regiment referred to, hope
they will be charitable enough to forgive the
prank and respond, either through the columns
of The TRIBUNE or by letter. The man who
carried the bogus order died few years after
the war-GEo. GRAHAM, Co. A, 18th Ind,

A VALUABLE SOUVENIR.
Certificate of Membership in the Society of the
Army of the Potomac.

Fritz Howard tells us in the entertaining
columns of the Washington Republic that the
certificate or diploma of membership of the
Society of the Army of the Potomac will be
signed by Z. S. Grant as President until the
annual meeting of the Society in June next. 1t
is very handsomely Autographed, on heavy
plate paper, size 1Sx24 and contains most ex-
cellent portraits of Gems. Mcclellan, Burnside,
Hooker and Meade, four battle-pieces repre-
senting the several arms of service, and the
names of the battles of the Army of the Poto-
mac. 1t reads: "The Army of the Potomac.
Organized August 20, 1861. Disbanded June
80, 1855 OF this Army - was a soldier,
and is now member of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac U. S. Grant, President" The
price, including the engrossing of the members
name and postage is but 81, which should be
inclosed to Gen. NJ. I. McMahon, Treasurer,
No. SO Nassau street, New York. Members
who have not yet obtained them will do well
so to do while they can be had over the we'll
known autograph of their most eminent grand
commander Soldiers of the Army of the Poto-
mac who have not yet joined the society are
reminded this may be their last opportunity to
obtain the signature of the great General in
connection with their personal military serv-
ice. Five dollars sent to Gen. Mcmahon will
furnish an heirloom worth handing down to
posterity. Two dollars of the five required is
for initiation fee, 81 dollar for one years dues
in advance, and 50 for the certificate or d.
ploma. 1t frames well, and makes handsome

Badness Cured and Age Reiuvenated.

j. W. HAMMOND, Lake Preston, D. T.,
when he was but 40 years Old found his
hair growing gray. At 80, his hair and
whiskers were entirely white. So they
continued until he reached 60 years of ace,
when he began using AYERS HAIR
VIGoR, three bottles of which sufficed to
restore their original rich, dark brown
color.
MRS. AUGUST VALENTINE, of Buffalo,
N. T., had become nearly bald, and
though she made use of many of the So

AYERS HAIR VIGOR did what nothing
else could do, and now the lady again has

GEO. MAYER, Fdtonia, TEXAS, pre-
scented an apparently hopeless case. Bald
ness was hereditary in his family. BY
the time he was % years old he had
scarcely any hair left. One bottle of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR started soft,
downy growth all over his scalp, and in 4
few months his head was covered with

Hiram d. Maxfeld. formerly of Silver Springs
r. l., has no doubt about the wonderful curative
powers of kidney-Wort. He was SO afflicted
with Kidney Complaint that he could not stand
on his feet from pain and weakness. As soon
as he commenced using Kidney-Wort he ex-
perienced immediate relief and at once began
TO grow strong and was relieved of all pain and
unpeasantness. He says: 81 kaom l have
been cured by Kidney-Wort."

a oilet Luxury.

Where the hair is brittle, dry, harsh,
weak, or thin, the use of AYERS HAIR
tIGOR speedily renders it plant, soft,
glossy. and stimulates it to rich and
luxurious growth: it also keeps the scalp
free from dandruf. and affords a perfect
assurance against the hair falling out or
turning gray. No other dressing is SO
clean or has such delicate and delightful
perfume. Without it the toilet cannot be
complete.
Ladies who have once made trial of
AYERS HAIR VIGOR never after prefer
any other hair-dressing, and MANY of them
voluntarily offer such testimonials as the
following, from Miss KATE Rose, Inqer.
SOL, Ont, who writes:
"While keeping my head clear of Dandruff,
and preventing Scald Head, it has also caused
my hair to grow luxuriantly, resulting in rY
as thick as any one could wish it.n
