| as bold as they were one score years ago. The
guards being asleep, we passed the forts without
being molested. At Ccrintb. Miss. spent one day
| visiting the old battlefield. Among the relics !
| found there were bullets buclshot, and a carbne
| cartridge filed with powder. Among my relics Is q
| chip from cell where the Engine Thieves were
confined. On my return from the battlefield spent
| some time at the cemetery in company with the
Superintendent. We went to his office, where he
gave me the number who were killed in the battle
of Cornth, which were 57ls-l,7sl known and
| 1887 unknown. Among the gravestones was one
/ bearing the name of Lieut.. Webb OF Go. u, 21th
Ohio. The Superintendent presented me with pair
of shoulderstraTs and a silver watch both having
been buried two years; also cofiee-cup, with the
name j. w. Low" on the bottom. Any relative
who establish claim TO this have II on appli-
| cation. Capt II. Linch other comrades OF the

| the field, according TO the superintendent. ID.

Will none of your correspondents uphold the
habit of using tobacco? 1 think that il is no more
wrong or harmful 10 tobacco than to eat pie or
any tabie-dainty that is not necessary to sustain
life. Not one person in thousand is injured by
using tobacco, while dyspepsia casts a shade of
gloom over the faces OF half the people you meet.
From one who never used tobacco in any form.-L
r.. Jones, Zero. Lucas Co.. Iowa.

Grams who live in Florida. Would prefer those
