Tue voyage from Andersonville to Parks
Ferry, n distance OF fifteen miles, was made
just as the day was drawing TO a close, but
was interSrersed with racing, swimming, con-
tests between the boats and passengers. 1t
was sight well worth seeing when the Reba
got stuck on rock, and Messrs. Grady and
Cant, Prof White and Congressman Barnes
led the passengers In ''knee-breeches'' cos
tune into showing scheme, when the keoa

in.
At four o'clock next morning we continued
our journey down the river, reaching Nose

"Dr. Charlton's batter-cakes." The party left
here for the foot Of TrOtter Shoals at three
o'clock This was the most interesting part
of the trip, and 1t was made all the more In
teresting by one Of the hardest rains we nave
ever seen fall during the last mile OF the trip.
The ride through the shoals was exciting and
interesting, and 1t was the subject OF mucn
speculation. .-.g..t.
AT the end OF the shoals we found ourselves
landed at Tates Mill to spend the night. The
party was somewhat tanner than the n1ght
before and considerably wetter. With plenty
to eat and huge pile Of fodder on which to
sleep, the party retired early, and we had nc
concert there save that OF the katydids. and
their music was soon lost sight of by the
snoring of Larry Cant. 5.2L

with the kind assistance Of Messrs. w. =
Tate and 2. A Tate, they prepared US break
fast that was net only complimented by the
party. but actual enjoyment was evidenced
by the quantity Of fresh fish consumed. Az
ter meeting Of the invited guests, Mr.. Grady
made few remarks. In which he said he
hoped he would have the pleasure OF making
the same trip some future day, and expressed
himself as delighted with his ride down the
river Carriages were at the mill TO convey

and the old men were almost solidly opposed
by the young men, an elder came to me and
said ~ never think 1t safe to vote against the
old men," He delighted in the old paths.
1t was q feast to listen to him after he had
returned from trip abroad. How charming
his conversation. .....

AN UGLY DISCOVERY.
A Report that should BE Read

"a recent analyzation in Philadelphia by a
celebrated chemist OF ten popular brands OF
Sarsaparilla discloses the astonishing fact
that these ten samples of blood purifiers (?l
contained in the aggregate sirteen different
minerals, eleven of which were active poi
sons Iodide of Potash was discovered in
every sample, mercury was found in all but
two, while arsenic existed In six OF the ten
brands. Not one brand was the pure article" "
A reporter took the above clipping to E. w.
Joy, the manufacturer of joys Vegetable sar-
saparilla. Mr.. Joy exhibited no surprise. He
said druggists knew it. He said he long ago
saw the crying need for O safe and absolutely
pure vegetable preparation of sarsaparilla,
hence his was named joys Vegetable sarsapa-
rilla, because it contained nothing but pure
syrup Of sarsaparilla, combined with the pure
juices of California's vegetable Alternatives.
Unlike potash sarsaparillas, 1t does not force
impurities through the skin, but stimulates
the various secretive organs, thereby correct
ing functional arrangements and eliminating
all impurities through the natural channels

THE YOUNGEST SOLDIER.
He Was Not Eleven Years Old When lie
Enlisted as q Volunteer.

Enlisted as q volunteer.
The Wisconsin legislature having
awarded gold medal to H. E..
Francisco, of Mason City, Iowa, as
the youngest soldier of the late war,
the old discussion has been opened
and a number of claimants have
come forward to show that he is not
entitled to rank as the youngest of
veterans. Mr.. Francisco was about
IA years old when he enlisted. c..
H. Wynn, of Sioux county, claimed
to have beeh only 13 years and
IL months old when he entered the
service, }. l.. Kiplinger was IL
years and months, and Andrew F.
Links, of Chicago, was 13 years and
months old. But Chic ago has an
other young veteran who is saying
nothing, though he beats the record
by three years nearly. This is Gill
bert Van Zandt, the adjutant of
Hancock post, No. $50. Mr. Van
Zandt entered the service August 81,
1862, when he was 10 years, 8 mos.
and II days old. He enlisted at
Port William, Clinton county, OHIO,
and served in Company ID of the
Seventy-nlnth Ohio regiment. He
was mustered into the service by a
special order obtained from the war
department two months after his
enlistment. He served to the close
of the war and was mustered out at
Camp Denison, June 6, 1865. He
drew soldiers pay and did SOL
dier's duties, was in the fight at
Resica, but was afterwards as
signed to duty at headquarters to
carry dispatches. When the regi-
ment was on its way home, the
pony which young Van Zandt rode
through the war was taken from
him in Washington, and he was
refused either permission or trans
portation for it to his home. The
boy walked up to the White House,
told his story to President Johnson,
and the order for transportation for
his pony was signed by the president
himself. If any of the veterans can
beat the record of Mr.. Van ZaDdt,
let them show their papers.
