THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.
A Washington COmrade Thinks Grand Reunion
WOuld be Beneficial.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: So much has
been said in your columns in opposition to the
public determination Of the Blue and the Gray,
as tie phrase goes, that / thought you perhaps
would allow the other side 20 be heard. As a
preliminary, however, would like 10 say that
there does not appear 10 be any need for excite
mcnt on the part Of tho disputauts and will
here promise that what ideas 1 may attempt to
express shall be intended as passionless reasons
for the faith that is in me.
A review of the history Of the United States
makes clear tho important fact that tho insti-
tuition of slavery was the real cause Of the out
break Of l-GO and ] So. What followed its es-
Enlistment in this country was the inevitable
result that everybody expected, but which no
body could avert. Ii might bo said that every
inhabitant Of the land who was "A voter prior
10 lsGO was responsible, but with greater force
il can be claimed that nobody was responsible.
IL is equally certain that in the mutations Of
time, there ~ not in public life today more
than an intinitesimal minority OF men who
were in public life i'm 1860 aud who could even
remotely be charged with treason under the
most radical construction Of tho Constitution,
aud in this minority the crime was condOued
for reasons well established in statecTaft and
well understood the world over
With the destruction OF slavery there was
leyoed the last obstruction 10 The establishment
Of an ideal Republic. Both parties TO the con-
test recognized this. The thrOes Of conflict
died out in due time the rebel army surren-
dered; the forces Of the Union dispersed to
their homes, aud again took up the threads of
life where they laid them down.
IL IS we'll 10 pause at this point and ponder
on the sublime scene. It was the prOudest
hour Of our National history. We set an ex-
ample for the profit Of the world. We who par
ticipated cannot realize the glory aud the effect
Of the National selfcOntTOl Of those days upon
the history Of mankind. Not one drop of blood
was shed unnecessarily; not one life was sacri-
feed after the last flag Of the rebellion fell from
It's mast. The people began the work Of repair
with earnestness and behold to-day the cOlOs-
sal power Of these United States
Well, here We are, the pOsSessOrs OF an empire
which is the admiration Of tho world, and we
propose 10 invite the world TO meet US in Chicago
aud rejoice with US over what has been accom-
plished in the Republic in few hundred years.
The Blue and the Gray have worked hand in
hand TO produce the results which will there
be exhibited. We can add to the impressive
ness Of the lesson which we have taught the
world by going there together in fraternity OF
feeling, and 10 will do our children good TO sec
the old boys together. The same patriotism
which led Us 10 bare our b0soms on the battle
| field calls upon us 10 bind the people together
| ia a common brotherhood in the days Of peace
/ Upon this theory has the Government been
conducted since the war. Has the experiment
been success or failure SID. NJ. DAVIS

For cold weather they are warmer than the

Suggestions as to the care Of the hair are al
ways in order These have been we'll tried
and have proved good. The hair should be
washed often enough to keep it free from oil
aud dust. Many people find once a week nee
essary and others that so often makes it harsh
This depends somewhat on the hair. Some
hair is naturally very oily, while other hair is
dry. Ammonia and borax are much used.
They are very cleansing but take all Of the life
out Of the hair, making it brittle. The most
harmless way is to use the yolk of an egg and
pure CASTLE soap. The soap can be gotten at any
druggists is much better than most soaps, and
is not expensive. After brushing the hair rub
the egg in the scalp thoroughly. Then wash
repeatedly in warm, sOapy water, changing the
water often. Rinse carefully so that not trace
Of soapiness remains. Now for the drying. Do
not wiring the hair. Press out rs much Of the
water as you can between the hands and then
take towel and press the hair with that. Do
not rub the hair with the towel. The drying
must not be done too quickly. If you catch
cold easily wrap towel around the head while
it is drying. If you do not, let the hair be ex-
posed to the frest air as much as possible. The
comb aud brush shOul always be as clean as
your locks. To keep them so wash them fire.

pretty way to trim the neck Of gown and
one useful in Frightening up an old one is the
bertha. This is nothing more than very full
ruitle Of silk, chiffon or some light material
sewed around the neck Of gown so that il falls
over prettily. Sew it down little below the
edge of the neck on the wrong side, then let it
fall over the right side.
The National tribune., 1892-02-11

A good way to save soap is to melt the little
scraps Of soap that are left from the cakes in
tin pan with just enough water over them to
mOisten them. After they are melted, let them
cool somewhat and then shape into balls and use
over. This pays if you get good soap, and you
ought get good soap, as there is almost nothing
that will roughen the skin so soon as the poor
kinds. 1t IS not well to change the kind of soap
often, as that too IS injurious to the skin.

R"When we went away we were prom
ised $40 in advance, but not one of US
ever received cent. When we got on
board the boats they told us that the
money had gone for our fare aud the
agents commission.
"We were taken to Baltimore on the
Central Railroad, and when we reached
the city we were taken into big build
ing and each one was given bottle of
whiskey. Then the agents came to sign
us. I told him that was 10 years old,
and the agent put it down 2l.
"We we then hustled into vans and
driven to steamer which took US to the
dredgers.
"The suits we were given were made
of muslin painted.
IF you wanted blanket you had to
buy one and as l had no money | had to
use my trousers for pillow and l was
compelled to sleep without any cover

In the morning my trousers were so
covered with vermin that l had to throw
