Neglected Graves.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: recent
number of the Boston Journal states that there
were over 100 Union soldiers. mostly OF the 9Th
n. II. and 4th Wis. buried in trench on the
field of Port Hudson and that that they still
remain there. The Evening Post IN. " also
stated lately that there were over 100 Union
soldiers buried on Egmont Key. Fla, and that
dense and impenetrab'e thicket had grown
over their remains. If these instances OF
neglect are true, who is responsible? Yours
w. A. ABBOTT. West Center, N. Y.
We presume that nobody can be held respon-
sible to-day. Shortly after the close of the
war. Congress directed the establishment of
National Cemeteries and appropriated SUN of
money to pay for gathering all the bodies of
Union soldiers into these. The work was done
more or less completely, the appropriation ex-
hausted, and the men engaged in the duty dis
charged from it. There is now no fund at the
disposal of the officers of the Government to
enable them to seek out graves that have been
overlooked. and put them in proper shape or
remove the remains to National Cemeteries.
Still. something should surely be done for these
neglected grayes.-EDIToR NATIONAL TRIB-

skinned, and split in two. Each one took
half, and, singing the legs over their shoul-
ders and their blouses over all, they set out
for camp.
"Bartle's friend knew the countersign,
which carried them without trouble to their
quarters. In the dark the sentry couldn't
distinguish the hump on their backs suffi-
GENTLY to become Suspicious, or, if he did,
he didn't care to investigate.
well, they divided up with their mess,
of course, and the news leaking out, a squad
of dozen or so started the next night with
the intention of getting sheep apiece.
They captured the meat all easy enough,
but the sentries captured them: and the
upshot of it was, they spent two days in
the guardhouse, while the officers ate the
mu ton.n
"Well, well, well; such is life +" reflected
LongbeaId, pushing back from the box.
1t appears like the conversation has rather
turned on the grub question tonight. I've
got all I can eat, boys, and l believe I will
turn in. Well have lots of tramping to do
to- morrow, if we get to see everything"
"Whew! how it rains" said Clint, repiac-
ing the lid of the grub-box, for all had had
enough; it'll be terrible rough on the parade
unless the weather drops"
"The water can't reach rs in here, so we
can Just take our ease. Great Cesar! it's
halfpast IL We'd better all shut up and

Then each of the men, wrapping himself
in heavy blanket, dropped at full length
upon the straw and sank at once into a
dreamless slumber, which was lnlled but not
disturbed by the soft and doleful patter OF
the rain upon the roof.

discovered that flock Of sheep were in
hiding on Blackburn Mountain, he made
instant preparations for raid upon them.
As usual, there were strict orders against
foraging, in consequence of which he deter

detection wonld be lessened thereby. So
one dark night in the latter part of March,
he slipped out of camp and headed for the
side of Blackburn Mountain.
"When Bartle reached the place where,
he had heard, the sheep were secreted, he
found another fellow there before him, this
same man he met at the camp-meeting; and
upon comparing notes he learned that he,
basing his operations upon the same inform

London's Splendid Spectacle on the
Queens Birthday.

TvERY year that Queen Victoria lives
RI the ceremony of, tgooping of the
-1 color on the Queens birthday be-
comes of greater interest. This
splendid parade is one which London is very
fond Of, and magnificent sight it is. This
has been the occasion of a military display on
the anniversary of the Sovereign's birthday
since the time of George II. The invention
of the parade is attributed to the Duke of
Cumberland, Colonel of the First Foot
Guards. This commanding officer professed
to be scandalized at the uncertain gait and
unsteadiness of his officers, who showed that
they had scarcely recovered from the nights
orgies, the parade in those days being fixed
at the unusual hour of in the morning.
The Duke, therefore, devised manuvers which
required each officer to march slowly and
in a straight line direct to his
post, the least irregularity being easily de-
tected. Although the necessity for this test
no longer exists the parade continues to be
carried out in the form first established.
The ceremony, which takes place at the
Horse Guard Parade, Whitehall, is very i'm

has the fitted back and loose fronts, and big leg

coat and skirt both differ from fashion plates in
the absence of rufles and points. braided de-
signs, contrasting facings and numerous lapels.
The seams in the coat are all curved and fitted
in the back, though the fit is rather loose. In
front there are no darts. The buttons are big

too long already, and if get to talking about
books | shall never know when to stop:

1t would be difficult for many to choose which
of George Eliot's novels is most pleasing.
There is a certain quality in ala humanity
that makes them strong. In Mrs Ha-rison's
Sweet Bells out of Tune" there are some funny
things. One illustrates the English idea of US
and of humor. An American woman is going
to give grand reception in London, with the
aid of frend-an American residing there
and Duchess who is to see that it goes off in
good form. The Duchess tells the friend that
the American woman must have champagne
and asks, Does your American friend know
about champagne2" "Oh, yes" the friend re-
plies impatienty. they drink it by the gallon
over there" impossible" remarked the
Duchess; it would make them sick"
When this list is resd, as with the other, we
wish we had suggested that a smaller list and
some chat about each book. as to its oddity,
humor, thoughtfulness or strength, had been
sent, too. However here are lists of good books,
and our other readers can profit by the second
impulse. Perhaps only one book or one maya
zine article will be thought of at the moment.

the good old-fashioned novels so popular and so
different from the modern love stories Way
down at the end Of the list is another book that
most people will agree is interesting and many
like, because of the intensely strong opposite
characters brought forth, and for the different
way that the same sorrow and shame affected
Hester and the minister.

gest that some special favorites should receive
