Landing Jeff Davis.

The committee in charge of the re-
interment of the remains of jeff Davis
at Richmond, which took place May
81, and was made the occasion of a
considerable parade, received a letter
from Gen. Wade Hampton, ex-senator
from South Carolina, at present holding
the position of commissioner of rail-
roads under Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration, in which he said that his Off
cial duties would prevent his being
present on that occasion. General
Hampton writes: Nothing but an i'm
perative public duty would prevent my
joining in doing honor to the memory
of our great leader, for whom had the
highest admiration while he was living
and the warmest affection as friend.
| can, therefore, only express the con-
tident hope that the whole South will
join in paying the last tribute of honor,
respect and affection to the dead pres
ident, whose highest aspiration during
life was to serve the people faithfully"

A Born Quartermaster.

The late General ingalls, was of as
much service to the union cause in his
way as Grant, Sherman and Sheridan
were in theirs. He was as much of a
born quartermaster as his colleagues
and commanders were born fighters and
strategists. While others planned
campaigns and battles he fed the troops
and thus made their victories possible.
General Grant pays Ingalls, warm
tribute in his autobiography. "There
never was" he says, "a corps better
organized than was the quartermas-
ter's corps with the Army of the
Potomac in 1864" General ingalls,
marked on each wagon in the train the
badge of the corps, with the division,
color and number of the brigade to
which it belonged. The wagons were
also marked to denote the contents; if
ammunition, whether for artillery or
infantry; if forage, whether hay or
grain, and also the precise kind of ra-
tions. Empty wagons were forbidden
to follow the army or remain in camp.
They had to return to the base of sup
plies Immediately for another load. In
this way haversacks, cartridge boxes
and caissons were kept well filled as
the Army of the Potomac fought its
way through the wilderness.-Bo

AnecdOte of Garrison.

When William Lloyd Garrison began,
at the age of twenty, to publish the
Free Press, he had, of course, the
usual amount of bad and Indifferent
poetry to read. All the local poetasters
who thought they could make verse,
and would have been far more worthily
employed in making shoes, deluged
him with their hating contributions.
But one day the papers drag net
brought up a pearl. Thus Mr.. Garri-
son tells the story: Going upstairs to
my office observed letter lying near
the door. l opened it and found it
contained an original piece of poetry
for the Free Press. "The ink was
very pale, the handwriting very small,
and having at that time a horror of
original newspaper poetry, my first inn
pulse was to tear it without reading it,
since the chances of rejection were as
ninety-nine to one. Summouing up
my resolution, however, l perused it,
and was so gratified with it that gave
it place in my journal. As / was
anxious to find out the writer, my post
rider one day divulged the secret, say
ing that he had brought the letter, and
IudI IL was WIltlcu ny Qudher TAU
named Whittier, who was daily at work
with hammer and lapstone on the shoe
makers bench at East Haverhill. 1
lost no time in driving to that town to
see the youthful bard, who came
into the room with shrinking diff
dence, blushing like a maiden and al
most unable to speak. L gave him
some words of encouragement, but
addressed myself particularly to his
parents, urging them to grant him every
possible facility for the development of
his remarkable genius. This was the
beginning of a lifelong friendship,
founded on a similarity of purpose and
principles. p Youths Companion.

A Great Reunion Of Veterans.

The growth of the Grand Army of
the Republic, since its organization in
1866, has been rapid and widespread
beyond the widest hopes of it's origin
ators. Ten states were represented in
To-day, twenty-seven years later, it
comprises forty-6ve departments, sew
enty-five hundred posts, and nearly
half a million members. Within the
last few years, certainly within ten or
twelve, its annual encampments have
grown to enormous proportions. At
the encampment held in Washington
last year, it was estimated that not less
than 100000 people were in attendance.
The veterans seem to realize that there
will not be many years left them in
which to fight their battles over again,
and so they come together once each
year in greater numbers than when the
organization was younger. This year
the encampment is to be held in the
West, and Indianapolis has been chosen
as the city. From sentimental as
we'll as a unitarian point of view, the
choice was fitting one. Thousands
of veterans remember the Hoosier cap
ital as pleasant camping point going
to and returning from the front. In
dianapolis is the birthplace of the or
ganization as we'll as convenient rail-
road center, with large hotels and board
ing accommodations, wide streets, and
in all respects we'll adapted as meet
ing place. 1t is within thirty-fve miles
of the center of population of the United
States and about the center of member
ship of the GAR. 1t is near Chicago,
and fully three-fourths of the visitors
to the Worlds Fair can pass through
it without going out of their way. With
the exceptionally favorable rates that
will be allowed BY all railways having
Indianapolis connections, the coming
rsncampmentc can be attended by Worlds
Fair visitors at a medium cost. Seven
lines of railway connect Indianapolis
with Chicago, and the running time be-
tween the two cities is six hours. The
arrangements for the entertainment and
amusement of the veterans will be the
most liberal that have ever been made
A fund of $4,000 has been raised by
the citizens of Indianapolis for expen
SEES, and the plans are of character
that assure the old veterans the creates
encampment in the history of the Crane
Army.-St. Paul Press.

Essay on Bones.

The following essay on bones, &C.
tually written for a school exercise by
boy, is copied from The Hospital Ga
zette: "Bones are the framework of
the body. If had no bones in me
should not have 80 much motion and
grandmother would be glad; but l
like to have motion. a Bones give. me
motion because they are something
hard for motion to cling to. If had
no bones my brains, lungs, heart and
large blood-vessels would be lying
around in me and might get hurried,
but now the bones get hurried, but not
much, unless it is a hard hit. If my
bones were burned / should be brittle
because it would take the animal out of
me. If l was soaked in acid should
be timber. Teacher showed us bone
that had been soaked; l could bend it
easily. l would rather be soaked than
burned. Some of my bones don't grow
close to my body, snug, like the branches
of tree, and am glad they don't, for
if they did / could not play leap-frog
and other nice games i know. The
reason why they don't grow close to my
body is because they have joints. Joints
is good things to have in bones. There
are two kinds. The ball and socket,
like my shoulder, is best. Teacher
showed it to me, only it was thigh
bone of an OK. One end was round,
smooth and whitish. That is the ball
end. The other end was followed in,
deep. That is the socket and it oils
itself. 1t is only the machine that oils
itself. Another, joint is the hinge joint,
like my elbow. 1t swings back and
forth and oils itself. 1t never creaks
like the schoolroom door. There is
another joint that don't seem like a
Joint. That is the skull. 1t don't have
no motion. All my bones put together
in their right places make a skeleton.
Cripples and deformed people have no
skeleton. Some animals have their
skeleton ON their outside. Pm glad
amt them animals; for my skeleton,
like it is on the chart, would not look
well on my outside. "-Ne,o York In

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
GrOwn-Up Land.

Good fair maid, with lashes brown,
Can you tell me the way to womanhood Town?
o this way and that way-never stop,
IT'S picking up stitches grandma will drop,
IT'S kissing the babys troubles away,
lis learning that cross words never will pay,
IT'S helping mother, It's sewing up rents,
IT'S reading and playing, tits saving the pence,
IT'S loving and smiling, forgetting to frown;
o that is the way to Womanhood Town.
Just wait my brave lad--one moment, pray;
Manhood Town lies where can you tell the way
o by toillng and trying we reach that land
A bit with the head, bit with the hand
'Tis by climbing up the steep hill Work.
IT'S by keeping out of the wide street Shirk,
IT'S by always taking the weak ones part,
'Tis by giving mother happy heart,
IT'S by keeping bad thoughts and actions down;
o that is the way to Manhood Town.
And the lad and the maid ran hand.in.hand
TO their fair estates in the grown.up land.
