Our Confederate Dead.
(BY CAPT. W. @. vEAL.l

From the coast OF The Atlantic, where the
waves of freedom roar,
And the breezes of the ocean chant a re.
QUEEN to the shore,
To the flowing Mississippi, so long our
Southern boast,
Thro' Arkansas and Virginia and along
the Texas coast,
Thro' this listless Southland, with its blos-
SONS and it's vines,
Thro' Missouri's oaken hilltops and
Louisiana's mourning pines,
Over all our Southern country, with bloom
ing roses spread,
Sleep band of noble heroes our brave
Confederate dead.
Not with musket and with sabre and with
glad hearts beating fast,
Not with cannon that had Numbered Til
the bloody war was past,
Not with voices that are shouting with the
vim of victcry's note,
Not with armor gaily glistening and with
flags that proudly float,
Not with air of martial vigor, nor with
steady soldier tramp,
Come they gladly marching to us, for our
boys are all in camp;
With forgetfulneSs upon it, each within his
earthly bed,
true Confederate dead.
Fast asleep our boys are lying in their cold
and narrow tents,
The calvary bugIe cannot wake them and
no order call them hence,
And the yearning OF the mother, and the
anguish of the wife
Cannot with their magic presence call the
soldiers back to life,
And the brothers manly sorrow and the
fathers mournful pride,
Cannot give back to the country those who
for their country died,
They, who fer their loved Southland, In
her hour of trial bled,
Sleep now in graves of glorY-our honored
Confederate dead.
When the battles of life are over and the
cares of earth are done,
When the reign OF tims is ended and eter-
nifty begun,
When the thunders of omniscience on our
Weakened senses roll,
And the sky above shall wither and be
gathered like a scroll,
When above the lofty mountains and across
the mighty sea,
The great archangel's bugle shall ring out
the reveille,
Then shall march with brightest laurels
and proud victorious tread,
To homes high up IN heaven-our loved
Confederate dead.

A CASTLE CAPTURED.
Pythian Knights Surrender
Their Hall to Ladies.

Salisbury Lodge No. 1O2,
Knights of Pythias, held their
regular meeting Tuesday
night. Work in the different
ranks was expected, and Wis
ing brothers were present.
After the business of the
evening had been partially
transacted, Mr.. w. j. Cox,
the Vice Chancellor, was in
formed that his presence was
wanted at the outer door, By
permission, he retired. In a
few moments he returned with
bated breath, and informed
the Chancellor Commander,
Mr.. r. L. Lipscomb, that
seventy-five ladies were on
the outside without the pass
word, but desired admittance.
Brave Knights looked at each
other in astonishment-they
could not understand why the
ladies should attempt to in
wade their secret portals.
However, the presiding officer
very promptly ordered them
admitted.
Such a scene followed as is
seldom witnessed in a lodge
room. The doors were thrown
open, and the beauty of
Salisbury marched in. At
the first rustic of silk, every
Knight was upon his feet and
remained standing until the
ladies were comfortably seat
ed. It was several moments
before the boys gained their
equilibrium, but finally they
realized the fact that some
thing must be done, and that
it should be done quickly.
Prof. Freed was requested to
welcome the ladies, which
pleasant task he performed
in a very appropriate speech
introductions followed, and
pleasant conversation was in
dulged in for an hour. Then
came Decentralization

dance, and the most palatable

per published at Red Springs, N. c.,
which states that an investigation OF
the ages of persons in that vicinity
now living and OF those who have
died during the last twenty years,
shows over a hundred persons who
have attained to ages ranging from
80 to 100 years. That paper also as
serts that large number of persons IN
close proximity to that city ranging
from 70 to 80 years old are actively
engaged in farm labor and are enjoy
ing robust health. AS to longevity
OF life of its citizens and heathfulness
of climate, there must be very strik
ing resem blance between that portion
of the old North State and our county
With US but few have reached the adj
vanced age of hun dre1 years. Non

Professor Abbott estimates the age
of the Woodbridge oak at about
1000 years. During the Revolution
ary war Lafayette and his army
rested under its limbs. It's remains
are now in form of seats for the
Ouinnipiac club. Idonot know that
ANYBODY in all the world cares who
the Ouinnipiac club may be, but we
reverenced the Woodbridge oak.
An oak in Marion county, Fla, is
reported as measuring over ten feet
in diameter and spreading its
branches over diameter of 1873 feet.
A California sequoia, felled in Gala
veras county, had a diameter OF nj
teen feet at the height of 125 feet
above the earth.
The German forestry report makes
the maximum age of European for
est trees to be not above 800 years,
except in rare cases. The pine is
stated to reach 500 to 700 years; the
silver fir attains an age frequently
of over 400 years; the birch stops at
200, and the red birch at $50 years.
Oaks begin to decay at the heart
when about 300 years old, the holly
oak excepted, which goes on to
above 400. Scotch frs are known to
live from 200 to 300 years. The Sc
quotas, however, are estimated to
have covered 3 600 wears. st. Louis

Suspended Matter In Flame.

By means of prolonged and ingeni
ous researches a London chemist has
now succeeded in demonstrating the
long supposed presence of suspended
matter in tlame-a question so much
discussed by scientists, some holding
to one theory and some to another.
1t now appears that the way this is
optically proved is to condense sun
light on the flame, the light being
then scattered by the solid particles
in an extremely thin layer, both
where the beam enters the fame and
where it leaves tit is polalized in
the flame of reflection. This phe-
nomenon, however, does not occur in
a flame where the sodium is in the
form of vapor instead of particles. -

A Unique Employment.

A colored man arrayed in mill
tary coat and helmet and carrying
over his shoulder knapsack has at
tracted considerable attention around
the bridge entrance of late by his
feats of whistling. He whistles in
season and out of season, in low key
and high key, with piccolo or clari-
net effect, as desired. He always
takes patriotic air to whistle, like
Marching Through Georgia" and
THE Star Spangled Banner. When
he whistles crowds gather, and when
he has finished his tune he turns
molestly away, revealing on the
back of his coat as he does so motto
in large letters that tells the people
where to got the best clothing in
town. 1t is then that he toys with a
popular air like Comrades" and the
"Bowery, and the crowd disperses,
feeling as if they would like to kick
that fly colored man.-New York
