broths or ounces Of the precious real tea
and coffee" were daily taken in baskets,
and the soothing voices Of the nurses could
be heard whispering hopes Of victory and
home. or murmuring comforting texts
from the Scripture while the sufferers
were fed or cooling lotions poured upon
the dressing Of their wounds.
Of those devoted women who ministered
to the wounded, soothed the dying and re-
ceived the little tokens and last messages
for their absent families. The list would
be too long here, but their names are
household words in every Southern home
and when shall their glory fade3"
How can justice be rendered to the wives
OF the common soldiers7 On these women
fell the burden OF deprivation unheard of.
In Silence they sowed and reaped the land,
clothed and tended their children, buried
them when they sank under want and ex-
posture. or themselves laid down in soil.
tude and died.
1t was the exception when the men in
the field knew the trials to which their
wives were subjected. The women were
vocal in hope, silent In despair. The wives
of the common soldiers labored and sor-
rowed without the expectation of earthly
honor or eciat. For if the men Of their
household persisted in battle it was only
collective glory" acquired, for the army,
for their cause, not for themselves; name
lees grave their share.
When the last sad days of the struggle
drew nigh and every heart was cast down,
the women were the most cheerful.
When the young and old non-combat-
ants were summoned to man the trenches
there were no tears and repinings. Such
preparations as were practicable for the
comfort Of the aged or infirm citizen
guards were quietly made, and the men
were dispatched with as much cheer as
trembling lips could summon.
At last, when Gen. Lees half starved
army must be Withdrawn from before the
overwhelming force of the enemy, he sent
An officer to inform Mr.. Davis Of the fact.
The message was delivered in st. Paul's
church during morning service, where
the president had gone to pray for his
people.
The congregations devined the purport of
the dispatch, and though they expected,
as the outcome of it.. that their homes
would be burned and the city laid waste,
there was no panic, no plea for protection.
The women gathered about Mr.. Davis and
said: "Leave us to our fate if you can save
the country. Perhaps sometime you may
win Richmond back: but if not, we know
you have done your best, and you must
not grieve for US"
In this spirit our women mot defeat,
starvation. labor, humiliation and all the
heartrending conditions of "reconstruc-
tion." Y. JEFFERsoN DAVIS.

Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration Of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstainentire-
" from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTTOLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t confines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, delicate favor,
and an appetizing crlSpness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CorToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

The Puyallup Indian citizens held a
large meeting Monday, says the Tacoma
News, at Jackson's, on the reservation,
and discussed the Wilson bill. 1t was
explained to them and was then dis
cussed by them in full. One
speaker made these suggestions:
oppose We want to sell, and Tacoma
man want to buy. S'pose Tacoma man
want to give me ten thousand dollars
for my land. Yes, sell. l make deed
to commissioners, and Tacoma man take
his deed and paw my ten thousand dol
lars to commissioners. He come to my
place, and he says: Now, Injun, you
got out. This my place. Where go
to? Commissioners send all my money
to Washington. l got no money. got
no home. The only place can go is to
dig clans on the beach. The only house
then got ia under tree. No money and
no home. | won't do it F"
This old fellow is evidently ripe for
citizenship, for he can at least think
clearly His money would be sent to
Washington, he would have to vacate
his land and leave his home, and his
only resort would he the ancient Indian
camping place on the beach.
We commend the speech OF Jackson tc
the Puyallup citizens. He said:
six years ago Mr.. Cleveland was
President, and he gave us our patents
and signed law making US citizens. He
was our friend, and was the only friend
we had in Washington. He is president
again, and let me tell you, my neighbors
he is our friend now. You vote like
fools for republicans and what do they
do for you. They keep Mr.. Eells here
to boss you, and pass this Wilson bill te
steal your land. But Mr.. Cleveland i;
president now and we will be treated
fair. He is our great friend, and he will
give us good title. He can't help thil
bill, for it was passed before he went int
Office, but We look to him and he will b,

There is no method Of reducing state to

with the consent Of congress new state

WHEN YOU 60 TO SLEEP.
The Proper Arrangements of DrAughtr In
Your Room.

The Proper Arrangements of DrAugats In
Your Room.
The proper arrangement OF draughts
for the ventilation of sleeping-rooms has
perplexed all. One thing, however, is
certain. 1t has been proved by actual
experiment that layer of air lies against
the walls which is subject to very little
movement, even when there is strong
circulation in the middle of the room. 1t
is, therefore, important that bed should
not be placed close to the wall. II placed
there during the daytime it should be
moved at least several inches out into the
room at night. Alcoves and curtains
should be avoided. In an alcove en-
closed on three sides lake of air forms,
which may be compared to the stagnant
pools often observed along the margin Of
rivers. A few yards away rushing
tide may be moving swiftly along, but
these placid pools are unruffied by the
current.

According to Corean advices by the
steamer Gaelic, Father NJ. Jozeau, a
Catholic missionary, was terribly NAL
treated by mob recently. He was pass
ing ON foot through the market town Of
Kinchien, accompanied by a teacher and
q boy. So soon as the crowd recognized
him there were shouts of Kill the for
eigner," "Stone him" The natives
threw themselves upon him, knocked
him down and kicked him numerically.
After the mob had torn out his beard
they beat him and then tried to bury him
alive in the sand. At last, somewhat
alarmed at the consequence of murder,
always a serious matter in Corea. the
mob dispersed, leaving the missionary
and his companions half dead on the
