CoMsIANDER-IN-CHIE BURDETT's AID
AIISISTRATION.

The Office which Gen. S. S. Burdett will
soon return at San Francisco TO the comrades
who bestowed it upon him at Portland
year ago has been filled by him with great
personal credit and to the highest good of
the Order. His administration has been an
unqualified success, and he has the proud
satisfaction of having carried forward with
undiminished impetus the splendid develop
ment of the Order inaugurated and main
tanned by his predecessors.
Everywhere there has been steady and
substantial increase in the membership and
a rising tide in fraternal interest and spirit
The Order has a stronger, deeper hold on
the hearts of the whole people than it ever
had; it is more truly the representative Of
the entire mass of veterans than it ever was
distrust and dislike on the part of the people
have well nigh disappeared; pride and affec-
ton have taken their places; dissensions
in the body of the Order have been dimin-
ished, and to-day the veterans are connected
together more firmly than they ever were.
Gen. Burdett has contributed to the fur
therance of this desirable eonsummation by
a wise, tactful, conservative administration,
which fostered every desirable development
and yet firmly repressed every undesirable
growth.
A man Of high character and proposes
ing appearance, he is also one of the finest
orators the country possesses, and whenever
he appeared at a soldier or popular gather
ing he made friends for the Order, and he
will retire from his high Office crowned with
the affection and esteem of all with whom he
has come in contact

OUR MAPS OF GETTYSBURG.

We take pleasure in inviting attention to
the maps we publish this week showing the
positions of the Third Corps during the see
ond days battle at Gettysburg. These we
can say, with entire confidence, are much
superior to any maps SO far published, for
they were prepared with the greatest care by
distinguished engineer officer, who was an
active participant in the engagement, where
he commanded brigade. His sketches have
been verified by recent and careful study OF
the ground in company with a number OF
commanding and staff officers of the Third
Corps. They may be relied upon as abso-
lutely correct, and they are an admirable
complement TO the magnificent address Of
Mai .-Gen. Daniel f. Sickles, which they
illustrate and the truth Of which they dem,

Governor, and he was authorized TO raise a
regiment. He recruited the 54th Pa for three
years, and was chosen its Colonel. The early
service Of the regiment was in guarding the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, covering for several
months distance Of SO miles Of that impor-
tant line.
After the battle Of Antietam, in September,
1862, Col. Campbell was placed at the head Of q
brigade in the Eighth Corps, with bis head
quarters at Mechaniesburg Gap. Later this
command was sent TO the Shenandoah Valley.
Col Campbell and the 54th Pa were promi-
nently engaged in the various campaigns Of
that Department. He participated in Gen.
Hunters raid to LynchbGrg, his brigade bear
ing the brunt of the hard fighting. At the
battles Of Newmarket and Piedmont he COM
manded his regiment with marked gallantry
and efficiency. At Newmarket the 5fth lost
more than 200 men killed and wounded. At
Piedmont the prisoners captured by the regi-
ment Outnumbered the men in its own ranks.
Col. Campbell was reassigned to the brigade,
and attached to the command Of Gen. Crook.
Under Sheridan he led his men at Opequan.
Cedar Creek, Berryville and Winchester. In
the latter engagement Gen. Mulligan was
killed, and Col. Campbell succeeded for a time
TO the command of his division.
After the rebels had been swept from the
Valley, CampbelPs Brigade was transferred to
the Army Of the Potomac, arriving in front OF
petersburg JUST before Bhe nndl breaking OF Inc
Confederate lines. Col. Campbell-who had
some time before this been brevetted Brigadier-
General for gallant and meritOriOus services
was actively engaged in the pursuit of Lees
| fugitive army, and was in at the DEATH" Two
days before the surrender il was necessary for a
regiment TO move with great speed to hold High
| Bridge for an important purpose. Gen. Sheridan
selected the 54th Pa. on account of its reputa-
ton for rapidly getting over the ground in
times of emergency. The 54th reached the
bridge in time. and held it against Oyerwhelm
/ ing odds until the object sought was fully
| gained. The regiment was. however, tempo
rarily sacrificed to its gallantry, being captured
almost entire. This was the last body of Union
troops taken prisoners by the COnfederates
Two days later the end came, and the prisoner
l were released.
Soon after his muster out Of the service Gen
Campbell was elected Surveyor General o
Pennsylvania, which position be held for sil
years. He was elected to the 45th, nth anC
43th Congresses, aud reelected to the presen
Congress by $500 majority. His district com
prises the Counties of Bedford, Blair, Cambri
and Somerset. His vote and influence ar
always cast in behalf Of the soldiers.

GEN. sICRLEs,s SPEECH.

The second part of Gen. Sickles's speech,
which we print this week, is even more in
teresting and convincing than the first part
was. The men who are trying to break the
force of the mastery argument by assailing
the distinguished orator are wasting their
strength. 1t is something which will have
to be met with superior facts and arguments,
not abuse. No man can read the speech
without feeling his heart swell with pride at
the grand fighting of that superb corps
which breasted the awful onslaught Of the
overwhelming rebel force on the afternoon
of July 2, and unquestiOnably saved the
Round Tops from capture.

THE State Of Ohio contemplates the erec-
ton of Soldiers and Sailors Home, and
there is lively competition from various
parts Of the State for the erection Of the
same. WOlford Post, of Perrysburg and
those inthat immediate vicinity, are strongly
of the opinion that the best place for the
location is upon the site of old Fort Meigs,
which was the scene of one Of the most hon
orable struggles in the war of 1912. It is
there that Gen. Harrison successfully en-
countered the famous Proctor, who was at
the head of much superior force of British
Regulars, Canadian militia, and Indians I'M
der the famous Tecumseh. 1t is historical
ground all around there. Directly opposite
Fort Meigs is where occurred the famous
Dudley massacre, which cut off the flower of
the youth of Kentucky. Four miles above
Fort Meigs was the scene of the battle of
Fallen Timbers, where Mad Anthony Wayne

But in bestowing this tribute TO the dead soldiers
Of our country, let not forget the living ones.
We have among yet alive those who gave the

its great need and peril, though spared from the

been shortened, their vitality exhausted by the
hardships and dangers they met. Do not forget to
be kind to them. Be generous to the soldier. Be
charitable to his faults and Weaknesses look leni

tunty to do so, do not fail to urge upon our law
makers their obligations. your obligations to pro-

"How about speculation in Washing
ton:''
This is the greatest place in the world
to speculate. Everyone does it, and wo-
men and men, poor and rich, clerks and
congressman, all watch the ticker and
bet on tho rise and fall of stocks. There
are dozens Of bucket shops in Washing
ton located near the great departments,
and there is one within n stones throw
of the capitol where you may find con-
gressmen daily. 1t is on the mill just
across from the front entrance on the
other side of the platau. Near the treas
ury there is bucket shop on the second
floor where not content on
betting on the rise and fall of stocks as
they go up and down in Wall street. the
brokers have constructed n patent wheel
which registers stocks, and by apparent
chance makes them rise or fall one
eight. The gambler, for it is nothing
else but gambling game, bets rs to
which way they will 20. and generally
loses. These stool; operators, not salts
fled with the fluctuations of Wall street,
must needs bet against a wheel made to
beat them.'

The Frost Line.

Key West Dcrlocart.
There is so much said and written
about the frost line, and the whole sub
ject has become so clouded in MYSTERY,
that most people in Florida have become
convinced that the idea of frost line
anywhere in the state is rather my thical.
Now, in order to throw some light on
the subject, we would ask our conferers
in the different portions of the state to
inform us whether they have hal any
frost this winter. We who are in the
extreme southern limit of the state, here
in Monroe county, have had fros. down
to the end of the mainland-at Cape
Sable. We are informed that this frost
extended across the southern portion of
the state into Dade county, at the Miami,
where we have seen frosts ourselves.
South of the Caloosahatchi river, with
water protection extending several
miles to the north, we still had frost,
and this is really something we never
have mo, never-that is hardly ever
seen before. OF course it did not hurt
anything; it never does-that is hardly
ever. Now, brothers of the press, come
forward; we know you are all like Geo.
Washington-tell us did you cut the tree
with your little Ratchet?

Orange Champagne.

Gen. J. j. Dickinson, who for his
bravery and signal success in making
unexpected sorties upon the enemy du-
ring the years of funpleasantness between
the sections, was styled the "Old War
Eagle Of Florida, Informed us that upon
one of his raids into Palatka, an old
German citizen, q friend of many years
standing, sent to his headquarters sever
al bottles of what he supposed to be inn
ported champagne. The corks popped.
the wine efiervesced, and the taste was
asexcellen as any he had tasted. Meeting
his friend the next day, he asked him if
he had not been "across the lines" He
assured him that he had not. The gen.
eral then asked him where he picked up
that champagne. "Imagine my sur
prise" he said, "when my friend inform
ed me that it was orange wine made by
himself" The old German continued to
make it for years and his friends were
always greeted with the popping of the
corks whenever they called upon him.
The old man died some years ago, but
upon a recent visit to Palatka, in COM
pany with Gen. Dickinson, we called
upon his widow and she gave us the rec
ioe for making the wine, which Gen.
Dickinson insists upon calling "cham-
pagne," as he says that it is in all respects
as good as the best brands of 'Mum's
Extra Dry"
The following:is the recipe:
l gallon sour orange juice.
3 gallons water.
7pounds white sugar.
Put in keg ,and as it effervesces add
asmall quantity of fresh:juice daily until
it ceases effervescing. Let it stand eight
days, or until perfectly clear, then bottle
a I'd cork tightly and set aside foi use.
