Boy Confederates.
FN.f fszsaa.Ats... \


The RICHMOND DISPATCH is publishing Q
series of letters about the boy soldiers OF
the Confederacy with the the design OF
ascertaining. if possible, who was the
youngest soldier in the Confederate army:
Many of the letters give the names OF
boys who at the age of fifteen took up arms
and fought through the whole war. The
youngest on record up 10 date Is an un'
enlisted boy FAMED Penn. Young Penn
was from New Orleans. During the wal
he was visiting relative on the Chicka,
hominy and General j. T.. B. Stuart carried
him to, camp. At the battle of Games
Mill Major W. Roy Mason found the little
fellow in pine thicket with dead sol.
diers musket firing away vigorously al
the Federals. OF course the officer at once
sent the boy to place of safety.
As young Penn was not i'll the army DC
cannot be put forward as the youngest
Confederate. but his case illustrates the
spirit of southern boys during the early
sixties.
Orr boy soldiers made splendid record
Some of them, wearing the scars OF battle
on their still youthful faces. are among the
leaders of the new South to-day AS
rule. the Confederate veteran is equal tc
any duty or emergency, and is as energetic
in peace as in war.

WASHINGTON, May H.-Assistant-Secre-
tary Hettleton has addressed letter to
w. w. Osborne. at Savannah, Ga. in
which he says that the department has
not printed any regulations relating to
claims under section 4 of the recent direct
tax act. A test case involving number
of important questions arising under that
section, he says, has recently been re-
ferred to the Court of Claims for adiudi-
cation, and therefore no similar case may
be settled by the department until de-
cision of the court ls reached in the case
referred to. In the mean time applica-
tions of claimants under said section NAV
be made to the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue in q form which sets forth the
material facts in the case with such brevl-
ty as is compatible with clearness.

Gil was held last evening at half-past Z
o'clock. President Campbell, on calling
the meeting to order, stated that the OBJ
iect of the body was for the purpose of
considering resolution from the Board of
Aldermen guaranteeing per cent. inter-
est on the fifty thousand dollar loan to the
Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical So

Mr. W. L. White moved that the resolu-
tion be laid on the table to be taken up at
the next regular meeting of the Common
Council.
Mr.. Stratton offered substitute to table
the resolution with the privilege of taking
il up at regular or called meeting. The
substitute was adopted. The cause of this
action was that only twenty members were
present aud the friends of the measure did
not think it advisable to risk vote.

A charming way of preserving flow
ers is shown by o. Boston friend. Take
very fine sand, wash it perfectly clean,
and when dry sift it through fine
sieve into pan. When the sand is
deep enough to hold the flowers in an
upright position, take some more sift-
ed sand and carefully cover them. A
spoon is o good thing to take for this,
as it fills in every chink and Granny
without breaking or bending the
leaves. When the pan is filled solidly
leave the flowers to dry for several
days. 1t is good plan to warm the
sand in the oven before usingit, as the
flowers will then dry more thoroughly.
In taking the sand off great care must
be taken not to break the leaves, as
they are now dry and brittle. Pan
sizes preserved in this way will keep
their shape and brilliancy OF color all
winter, and many other flowers can
be equally successfully treated-any
thing, in fact, where the full pressure
of the sand comes on both sides ofthe
leaf; other wise they win shrivel. To
fill in flowers with cup-like shapes it is
better to lay them on the sand and
with small spoon fill in and around
each flower. Ferns, when preserved
in this way, havea more natural look
than when pressed, and the maiden
hair fern looks almost as well as when
it is freshly gathered.-New York Tri
bune.

DOUGLAS JERROLD.
he Had Indeed Been a Long Time About
That Fruit.

That Fruit.
A story connected with Jerrold' s
short period of naval service may we'll
find a place here, says Walter Jerrold
in an article in the St. Nicholas. On
one occasion as midshipman, having
gone ashore with the captain, Jerrold
was left for a time in charge of the
boat. While the captain was away
two of the men asked for permission to
go and buy something. Permission
was given by their youthful and too
good-natured officer who added:
by the way, you may as well buy
me some apples and a few pears"
''All right, SIR" said the men. and
off they went.
The captain returned, but not the
men; search was made for them but
they were not to be found; they had
deserted and Midshipman Jerrold was
in sad disgrace. The event made a
lasting impression upon him, so deep
a one that he declared he could recog-
nize the deserters at any time, as in
deed he did. Some thirty years after
ward, as he was passing along the
Strand, the eX-midship was struck
by the appearance of a bakers man
who was looking into shop window;
he walked up to him, and rapping
him sharply on the back said:
Il say, my friend, don't you think
you've been rather a long time about
that fruit?"
The deserter was horror-struck at
being discovered, and could only gasp
out 'Lor'! sir, is that you?" when Je1-
rold went On his way laughing.

A PIucky Woman. This.

In the year 1905 John Harris and
wife, an English woman by birth, set
tied upon the bank of the Susquehanna
river at a place afterward known as
Harris Ferry''-now Harrisburg.
There he carried on trade with the
Indians, great numbers of whom were
in that neighbOrhood.
On one occasion Mrs Harris sent her
servant into the cellar for something.
The girl lighted candle, and, carry
ing it in her hand, without placing it
in o candlestick, disappeared down the
stairway. She returned in short
time with the desired article, but with
out the light.
where did you leave the candleP"
Mrs. Harris inquired.
at is in the cellar, standing in a
barrel of sand" the girl replied.
'Merciful goodness!" calculated
Mrs. Harris, Fastening down stairs.
There, sure enough, was the candle,
standing erect in an open barrel of
gunpowder, its feeble flame throwing
a circle of light around it.
Walking boldly up to the barrel, the
brave woman deliberately placed her
hands beneath and around the burning
candle, and, lifting it carefully from
its dangerous position, carried it up
the stairs. outh's Companion.

DisconragIng For the Rows.

The following is from a "Girl's
Composition on Boys" Certainly
everybody will recognize the fidelity
with which the subject is treated. The
girl writes:
Boys is men that have not got as big
as their papas and girls is young
women that will be young ladies by
and by. = Man was made before
woman. When God looked at Adam
He said to Himself, ''Well, / guess
can do better than that if try again, !"
and then He made Eve. God liked
Eve so much better than He did Adam
that there has been more women in
the world than men ever since. = =
Boys are a trouble. They are very
wearing on everything but soap. = '
If could have my way half the boys
in the world would be little glrls and
the other half would be dolls. y
Ny papa is so nice to me that guess
he must have been a girl when he was
little boy -Woman's Tribune.
