About two years ago 1 took your "No-

been and is now as good asst ever was.
Can eat iii moderation now food that
two years ago dared not touch Atthe
same time was afflicted with disease,
1 believe, of the skin; for the last fif-
teen years it has been plague to me.
1t invariably made its appearance In
February and last cd-until April. When
l got warm in bed it would commence
itching. There was 10 eruption until 1
was compelled to scratch, then little
pimple, not as large as pins head,
would appear, and then my misery
commenced. I have laid many cold
winters night without any covering I'M
til could stand the cold no longer,
and then would pull the cover over me
and get snatCl!es of sleep. I have not
felt it since taking your valuable mo
landine," which was taken for dyspep-
STA, and I believe that it has cured me
of that plague. I write this TO show you

"Nolandire," invaluable to me. 1 owe

RICHMOND, VA.
Dear Sir,-For the benefit of persons
suffering from Chronic Liver Com
plant, 1 beg leave to call their atten-
ton to your vegetable preparation,
"Nolandine" Iregard it as a "chola-
gogue," combining alsotonic and reno
waiting properties, and in this respect
differing from any medicine I have
ever taken.
The effects of your No1andine" in
my case, has been on the liver and Sc
CT ,tions identical with calomel; at the
same time, entirely free from nauseating
and facilitating consequences follow
ing the use of that mineral.
I very cheerful1y recommend your
"No1andine " for the diseases enume-
rated on your circulars, and am convinc-
ed from personal benefit derived from
its use, that it must become a stand
ard family medicine.
I AIN not alone in the very high csti-
mate Iplace on "Nolandine," and trust
it will be universally known and be, as
it should be, the means of taking the
place of mineral preparations for that
class of diseases in which it has prov
ed SO successful and already gained such
areputation. Hoping that "Nolardine"
may reach al1persons suffering from bill
ious derargcment and prostration from
chronic diseases, I am very respectfully
yours, JOHN w. CALDWELL.

Among those who responded are the

Gen. Schofeld says: 81 will say
that it was the well-known character
of the Southern soldiers, Of which that
of Gen. Robert E. Lee was the high
est type, which made it possible for the
Union army to regard the Confederates
not as rebels to be either punished or
pardoned but as honorable antagonists
worthy to become trusted TRENDS
when they had laid down their arms:
Thus this high character became OF
inestimable value to the Southern peo-
pie and hence to the whole country.
Admiral Porter writes "No man
should hesitate to bear testimony
to the reputation one of the greatest SOL
diers of the civil war. But tor his
generalship the Southern Cofederacy
would no doubt have sooner broken

The "Horrors of Anders0nville."
CWilminptOn Star.

The "horrors of Andersonville' has
been for years a favorite cry among
the Northern maligners OF the South
ern people, and even yet, twenty-five
wears after the last gun was fired,
whenever the opportunity presents
and they get chance to ring 1t they
yell something about the horrors OF
Andersonville, Libby, Belle Isle and
Salisbury. To hear them talk one
would think that the principal busi-
ness of the custodians of these prls-
ons was in starving and torturlng to
death the Union prisoners held IN
them. Jefferson Davis has INDICATED
the Confederacy from this charge,
has shown in his articles in Beford's
MAGAZINE that the Confederacy was
not only humane and kind to the
prisoners of war, furnishing them the
same ra.ions which is furnished its
own soldiers, and took all the care
that it could of them, but that there
were more Southern soldiers in pro
norton to numbers, who died IN
Federal prisons. According to the
reports of the United States War De-
partment the relative numbers OF
prisoners and deaths were, in round
numbers
United States prisoners held by ~,

Confederate States prisoners

Confederate States prisoners died

From this it appears that the Con
federates, with an excess OF 10000
prisoners, had 1000 fewer deaths
Here are facts and figures versus Sian
derous allegation. 1t is we'll known
too, that the Confederacy made severa
propositions to secure an exchange o
prisoners, which would empty he
. prisons, which were refused on tn
cool blooded ground that it was no
, good policy to exchange cable bodice
, men," and thus replenish the Coined
crate ranks, for sssick and disabled
Northern soldiers who were held a
prisoners in the South. Had the ex
, change been effected as the South dc
sired, both Northern and Souther
prisons would have been emptied ant
! the thousands of lives sacrificed to tn
o cold blooded and barbarous refusal
c the Federal Government to make tn
$ exchange would have been saved.

Though our hearts may never
Beat in unison again,
Mine will remember you forever,
Though remembrance be in vain.
Though our hands may no more
Clasp until beyond the tomb,
Mine viii serve thee as before,
II ever time Of need should come.
Though these eyes and thine,
No more in tender glances meet,
To know that pleasure once was mine,
will be Joy forever sweet.
Though cur lips forever apart,
Must ever and forever be,
Rut now obey this aching heart,
And breathe these good bye words to thee.
But should YOU sometimes cast
A Wishful look on vanished dreams,
Remember ALWAYS that the past,
The farther off the fairer seems.
The words write are truth
Yet in them no solace find,
cannot leave these dreams now Der,
Without lingering look behind
And should you ever regratfully,
For those sweet days and pleasures sigh,
However dear they seem to thee,
You cannot prize them more tilan L.
In fearless sorrow repine,
And madly curse my bitter fate,
The fault was thine, the grief is mine,
And | repent alas, too late.
We met, we loved, we parted.
The story is always new,
Though you leave ME broken hearted,
will ever be true to you.
Miles now stretch between us,
And gulf that time has made,
Why should we thus be parted
For what the world has said?
II YOU will sometimes look behind you
Into the vale of years,
NV face will come before you
As YOU see me now in tears.
/ shall think of you most in my dreams,
Like the ghost of past that Is dead,
In midnight dreams your words will CLEAN
Though the whisperer has fled.
LIES Journey will soon be over,
And what IS life at best?
And when parted from those we love mos
dear,
Oh, where can the soul find rest?
In heaven, | hope to meet you,
can know and love you there,
With heart that is free from misery,
And woe and suffering and care.
