Heroes, Every One.

There are two instances of noble
courage, the reading of which should
stir the blood of every American. One
occurred at fredericksburg on the day
when the half brigades of Meagher and
Caldwell lay ON the bloody slope lead
ing up to the Confederate lntrench-
ments.
Among the assaulting regiments was
the Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost
one hundred and eighty six out of three
hundred men who made the charge.
The survivors fell back behind a fence
within easy reach of the confederate
riflepits Just before reaching it the
last of the color guard was shot, and
the flag fell in the open.
A captain, Perry, instantly ran out
to rescue it, and as he reached it was
shot through the heart; another cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt,
and was also killed, and so was the third,
Moore. Several private soldiers met a
like fate. They were all killed close
to the flag, and their dead bodies fell
across one another.
Taking advantage of this breastwork
Lieut.. Nettleton crawled from behind
the fence to the colors, seized them,
and bore back the blood won trophy.
The other incident took place at
Gaines Mill, where Gregg's First South
Carolina regiment bore the brunt of an
assault upon certain strong position.
Moving toward at run, the South
Carolinians were swept by fierce and
searching fire.
Young James Taylor, a lad of sixteen,
was carrying the flag, and was killed
after being shot down three times,
twice rising and struggling onward
with the colors. The third time he fell
the flag was seized by George Cotchett
and, when he in turn fell, by Seubrick
Hayne. Hayne also was struck down
almost Immediately, and fourth lad
for none of these men were over
twenty years old-grasped the colors
and fell mortally wounded across the
body of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was
pierced with no less than seven balls.
The sixth man, Dominick Spellman,
more fortunate, but not less brave,
bore the flag throughout the rest of the
battle.-Cosmopolitan.

How Dolly Madison Won Her Husband.

Mrs. Madison was unquestionably the
most popular woman that has ever
presided over the social life of the Exc
cutive Mansion. She was extremely
beautiful in person and gently and
courteous in manner. Consummate
tact made good her lack of liberal edu-
cation. Madison first met her when
he was member of Congress at
Philadelphia, and with Aaron Burr,
boarded at the house of her father, Mr..
Payne. She was then the window
Todd. The future President promptly
fell in love with her. But having
some doubts about her mental qualities,
he one day handed her book to read
and asked her to give him her opinion
of it. She gave the book to Burr,
with the request that he would write
a letter for her to copy. This he did
with his usual brilliance, and Madison,
on receiving the note was fully con-
vinced that his lady loves intellect
was equal to her beauty. He at once
offered himself and was accepted.

Poisoned NV ScrOfula

Is the story of many lives made miser-
able through no fault of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any
other a hereditary disease, and for this
simple reason: Arising from impure
and insufficient blood, the disease To-
Gates itself in the lymphatics, which
are composed of white tissues; there is
a period of foetal life when the whole
body consists of white tissues, and
therefore the unborn child is especially
susceptible to this dreadful disease.
But there is remedy for scrofula,
whether hereditary or acquired. 1t is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, which by its
powerful effect on the blood, expels all
trace of the disease and gives to the
vital fluid the quality and color Of
health. If you decide to take Hood S
Sarsaparilla do not accept any substi-
tute.

GUlTEAU'S BURIAL PLACE.
The Skeleton at the Medical Museum in
Washington not That of the Assassin.

The Skeleton at the Medical Museum in
Washington not That of the Assassin.
The general impression that the skel-
eton of Guiteau, President Garfield's 3
assassin, is on exhibition in the Medi-
cal Museum, was last week dissipated
by a statement made by Deputy War
den Russ, of the District Jail, Washing
ton. In it he says:
For long time prior to the execu-
tion strenuous efforts were made to
ascertain where Guiteau was to be
buried. Persons acting in the interest
OF the resurrectionists, both those who
wanted the body for dissection as well
as several enterprising dime museum
proprietors who much desired to secure
it for exhibition purposes, industrious
ly questioned everyone who, it was
thought, possessed the slightest knowl-
edge.
I'm fact, one proprietor of a dime
museum made an offer to Guiteau to
pay his relatives a large sum of money
provided he would will him his body.
This seemed to tickle the vanity of the
assassin, for he was inordinately vain,
and, had he been permitted to have his
own way, he would doubtless have ac-
cepted the offer. But as the day for
his execution advanced, Guiteau began
to realize the seriousness of his position,
and began to exhibit great fear lest his
body should be multilated after his
death if it should be placed in any or
binary cemetery.
Finally, in discussing this matter
with the Rev. DR.. Hicks and myself,
l asked him to leaye the matter to us,
and we would take sufficient precau.
hons to prevent the body being stolen;
and at a subsequent conference with
DIR. Hicks, the following mode of pro-
cedure was agreed upon:
I'm order to obviate whatever legal
difficulties might arise, and to forestall
any claim the sister or brother of the
murderer might make, it was decided
that Guiteau should make a will, be-
queathing his body to DR.. Hicks, and
it will propably be remembered that
the will when published created some
curiosity by the wording of it, giving,
as it did, the body to be disposed of as
the beneficiary saw fit.
After going over the whole matter,
and realizing it would be impossible to
properly protect the remains, it was
decided to bury it in the jail. Consent
was readily obtained. The night of
the hanging, after the autopsy, the
body remained in the cheap coffin in
the chapel of the jail"
The Deputy Warden goes on to tell
how the burial took place in the laun-
dry room of the Jail the morning after
the execution, in the presence of two
negro prisoners who dug the grave,
DIR. Hicks, Chaplain, Warden Crocker,
Chas. Reed, the lawyer who assisted in
Guiteau's defense, and himself The
The story that the assassin 8 body had
been secretly conveyed to the Medical
Museum was permitted to go uncon-
tradicted. When the brains and other
organs are the Deputy does not know,
but the spleen is the only thing on ex-
hibition at the Medical Museum,

A Fine Collection of American Octobers.

If were collector and authorized
to spend time and money on getting
good specimens and samples of things,
would like to gather a complete set
of American Octobers and add them to
my experience. Iwould start, think,
in the extreme northeast, at Halifax or
thereabouts. So far north as that the
autumn must begin early, and | dare
say you get an October of good flavor
as soon as the end of August. Then,
as soon as the leaves began to turn,
the plan would be to follow them
down the st. Lawrence, and up the
Saguenay, and back and forth through
the White Mountains, very much as

strawberry up stream from New Or

The Fountain Head Of Strength.

When we recollect that the stomach
is the grand laboratory in which food
is transformed into the secretions which
furnish vigor to the system after enter
ing and enriching the blood; that it is,
in short, the foun tain head of strength,
it is essential to keep this important
supplying machine in order, and to
restore IL to activity when it becomes
inactive. This Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does most effectually ,seasonably
regulating and reinforcing digestion,
promoting due action of the liver and
bowels. Strength and quietude of the
nerves depend in great measure upon
thorough digestion. There is no nervine
tonic more highly esteemed by the
medical fraternity than the Bitters.
Physicians also strongly commend it
for chills and fever, rheum atism, kid
ney and bladder trouble, sick headac che,
and want of appetite and sleep. Take
a wine glass full three times day.

Boomers Outwitted by a Girl.

A little girl about fourteen years old
came through the jam of teams and
horses near the booths at Arkansas
City, dismounted, and tied her horse
to the hedge. Going to coffee, stand
she procured tray and two cups of
coffee, aud started for the dense throng
OF men about the booths, now at least
about fifty deep. At the outer edge
here piping voice was heard saying:
please make way, gentlemen,
have lunch for the clerks"
She slowly made her way between
the Shippers until she reached the
magical circle marked by barb wire.
The stolid soldiers on guard refused
her entreaties, but when she said Col.
Gallagher (Chief Clerk wanted his
lunch she was admitted ahead of the
four lines held in check. Walking up
to the first desk she put down her load
and said
II am an orphan, and, therefore, am
the head of my family. l Want to
register"
The men gathered about looked upon
this proceeding with glowering faces
until a great hulking fellow in the
crowd out: Bully for the little gall"
Then a hearty shout went up from the
men whom she had so clearly outwitted,
and she received her certificate and
proudly held it aloft as she passed out
to her waiting horse. Her name is
Cora Wiley, from Sedgwick County,
an orphan, whose widowed mother
died about year ago.

Of 1000 gallons per minute. They are
connected with four main pipes. one Of
which leads to the stage roof, where it
has five outlets. Regular fire hose lines
complete the service there, which, ac-
cording to fire department official, is
the most perfect and costly ever placed IN
any theatre. From the roof OF the new
house, Mr.. Keith's fire brigade can pro-
tect all the DeighDors. Tue brigade Is al
