delegates at the G.. A. X. Encampment: While

Beaver was one day sitting in front of his tent,
when a slouchy y-looking soldier with ill-fitting
uniform came along, stopped, and inquired:

Is that the way to address your superior Of

The German stared at his superior officer in
blank amazement. but said never a word.
Here, sir; take this chair. You be the
Colonel, and l will teach you how to address
an officer"

The soldier sat down in front Of tho tent.
Col. Beaver walked off few PAGES, turned
about, returned TO position in front of the Of

made military salute, and inquired:

We had been i'm Tennessee but n short time

Tommy was missing. On looking about, his
round posterior was discovered pr0truding
from behind the cover of friendly stump, that
sheltered his head and shoulders. One of the

What Is MoOIl

Wool is kind of hair. The hair is q plant
rooted in the skin. It's root is cone connected
with the sensitive layer of the skin, whence it
draws sustenance. It's life is not identical with
the life of the body, for hair grows more or less
after death. This root Of the hair" exudes
the hair pulp. which is formed into cells con-
tanning the pigment giving color to the hair,
and each row of these cells forms a ring. As
the ring of cells is pushed away from the skin
by the giving out of fresh pul p from the root,
the cells dry and scales are formed, almost like
the scales of fish. A hair seen through a mi
croscope is thus a long tube formed by sheath
made up of these rings of scales. The human
hair is usually long, straight, and regular, and
the scales are so fine and so close together that
tho edge appears like the teeth Of very fine
saw. Goats hair has more rapid growth and
longer cells so that it is less regular and
straight, aud shows little Of the tOOth-lke edge.
The hair of sheep of the common sort is also ir-
regular, with n tendency to curl or wave, but
with marked tooth-lik edges. This is wool,
and il is the tendency to twist. and the barbed
projections which give this fibre its peculiar
advantages.
The hair of the negro, with its tendency to
kink or curl, is mockingly called wool" be-
cause it to this extent resembles the hair of the
sheep. Curly hair is, as matter of fact, less
perfect than straight hair. But through all
this range-of the human plant, goats hair and
tions that 10 would bo difficult to draw an exact
line between hair and wool or in this respect
to separate the sheep from the goats. Witness
the Angora goat, whose fleece, known as mo-
hair il reckOned superior wool, and the Peru
vian alpaca, or Hama. The microscope distin-
guishes very clearly however, between wool
and silk, the fiber Of which is an even double
fllamcnt of gum exnded by the silkworm and
between wool aud the vegetable fbcrs, such as
cotton, which, growing as a tube, dries into a
haIEtwisted ribbon, having no barbed edge.
The root of the air has a natural tendency TO
dry up as warm weather approaches, allowing
tho hair to fall free from the skin: thus ami
mails IS shed their coats" But when hair is cut,
rs with human beings, or the fleece sheared, as
in the case of sheep, nature adapts itself to the
demand upon 1t, and growth is continuous The
number of these fibers Is wonderful. On the

even tenor of my way as Civilian Clerk at

when orders came to disband the Twenty. fifth
Corps. Ii was known that the convention for the
evacuation Of Mexico by tho French troops had
been signed and it was the policy of our Govern
ment to leave Juarez and Maximiian to fight
out the rest of the battlo between themselves.
| have always thought that we ought to have
made Il demonstration in favor of Juarez, by
actual force if necessary, because that would
have compelled Macmillan to abdicate at once
and leave the country, and the sad and cruel
butehcry of Queretaro would not have occur

In the meantime my good friend. Gen. Dra-
per, had been killed in the camp of his dvis-
ion, at IndianOla, one night during the month
of September, by musket shot from the line Of
the 1l1th u. S. G. r. He was most estimable
man and good soldier having worked his way

der General in 1865. lie had seen some Of the
hardest fighting of the war; aud it seemed hard

batteries, regiments, forts, battlefelds,
the dead on the field, the wounded, the
burial of the dead, the prisoners, &c, &c.
Thousands Of wonderful interesting views.
Nothing can be shown TO veterans that

to give public exhibitions for G. A. P
