then Patti and other celebrated singers have
delighted the most higbly-cultivated audi

popular song. During his last visit to the

of his wanderings crossed the Suwanee

of the song had made on his mind.
The poets remains were taken to Pitts

admirers in his old home now propose to
erect shaft to his memory, and it may be
hoped that the monument will awaken in

DIVISION, MoRTALLY WOUNDED HERE
ABOUT p. NJ, SEPT. 10, 1863.
1.-The fighting positions of all bat
teries will be marked, as they are identi-
fed, by guns of the same kind used in
the battle by the battery, mounted upou
cast-iron carriages, painted so as to be
an exact representation of the carriage
of 1861. The Chief Of Ordnance, Gen.
ID. w. Flagler, and his assistant, Capt.
Y. McNally, took every pains to procure
from the stock Of old guns on hand in
the various arsenals, enough Of the kinds
used by the 80 Union and SO Con
federate batteries engaged, to carry out
the plan.
"The spots where general officers, or
those exercising the command of gen.
eral officer, were killed or mortally
wounded, are marked by triangular
pyramids of eight-inch shells, 10 feet in
hight. A tablet on each gives name,
rank, and army of the officer killed.
There were four of these on each side,
all commanding brigades, namely: Col.
Philemon p. Baldwin, Col. Hans c. Heg,
Col. Edward A. King, and Brig Gen.
William H. Lytle, on the Union side;
and Col. Peyton ii. Colquitt, Brig Gen.
Ben. Hardtlr Helm, Brig Gen. james
Deshler, and Brig.-Gen. Preston Smith,
on the Confederate.
"The lines of the rude works used by
each side in various parts of the field
have been found and are to be restored" !"
When the work is completed, not only
can the general line-ofbattle be followed
through the changes of the two days of
fighting, but the different positions of
every regiment and battery can be ascer-
tanned.

have occurred at one moment to every
one of them. Grant and the Generals
standing with him on Orchard Knob
had no thought of their going beyond
the first works; nor had the officers
with the troops. Had it been suggested
% them in their calmer moments, they
would have secuted it as foolhardy and
impossible. But the men began press
ing forward toward the summit, and
though some of the officers made the
mistake of trying to recall them, the
most of them caught the enthusiasm of
the moment, and rushed on with their
men. Grant was astounded and angry,
but before he could do anything he was
still more astonished to see the troops,
despite the terrible fire rained down
upon them, gain the summit, and sweep
everything before them. How they
managed to do it is as much of a mystery
to-day as ever. The troops they routed

All the States represented on the
field have taken great interest in the mat
ter Of the Park. commissions from all
have visited the battlefield, and located,
or taken the steps toward locating, the
positions occupied by their troops. Ohio,
which had the largest number of organ
izations at Chickamauga of any State ex-
cept Tennessee, led off with an approprla-
ton of $4,000 for monuments to her %
regiments and batteries. Minnesota did
even better by giving 10000 for her
three regiments. Massachusetts, put up
two splendid monuments, and New York
gave SS1 900 for her IA regiments and
two batteries. All the other States are
following suit, and it is expected that in
time every regiment and battery will
have its monument upon the field.

The diet of hotels, consisting of rich meats

ent from the average food of the average jury
man, particularly of the working class. The
result is always Over-eating and under-exer-

disorder the mental activities. In addition
to this, the confinement in the bad air of
courtrooms brings new sources Of poisoning,
particularly deficient oxidation, which of
itself is sufficient to derange the normal
brain functions. The crowded rooms at
hotels are either overheated and badly venti-

The battlefield of Chickamauga is
considered the Park proper, but the
Commission has, under the name of
"The Approaches" secured, marked,
and otherwise improved the scenes of
nearly all the heavy fighting around
the town. 1t has acquired the whole of
Orchard Knob, which was the Head
quarters of Gems. Grant, Thomas, and
Gordon Granger, during the Mission
Ridge fight. 1t is an isolated knoll,
about 60 feet high, containing six acres
of ground, and standing about midway
between Chattanooga and the Ridge.
Tracts have been secured on Lookout
Mountain, three acres Of ground on
Mission Ridge where Bragg had his
Headquarters, and a spur of the Ridge
which juts out toward Chattanooga OPP
posite the left of the line of assault of
the Army Of the Cumberland. Upon
these two, two steel observation towers
have been erected, which give fine views
of the scene Of operations.
All these are fully marked, and many
regiments have also placed monuments
there.
MAGNIFICENT ROADS.
If the Commission had done nothing
else to justify its existence, the magnif-

story Is related in connection with
baked beans which, although i, has
never been proved to be true. is Il
strong testimonial in favor of the dish
1t Is to the effect that Bostonian de-.
layed for weeks in New York on busi.
ness YEARLY sought place after place in
search of his favorite dish. Invariably
he had served up to him the ALLEGED
article, that was to him UNBEATABLE. Fin
ally he found a restaurant where he was
personally assured by waiter that he
could have the genuine article. When
the beans came they were of the stool,
New York kind, and the Bcstonian. in
hit of anger, drew revolver and shot
the waiter in the arm.
He wasarraigneG before Justice who
once lived in Boston, who, after he had
heard the facts in the ease. discharged
the prisoner on the ground that he was
fully justified in shooting. No matter
how ignorant the justice was of law. he
at least 'knew beans"
Another story, which also testifies to
the value of beans, Is related of some
Gloucester fishermen. The crew of "a
coasting vessel spied fishing schooner
at little distance with the United
States flag flying from the masthead
union down, which is always a signal
OF distress. The schooner was not an
parently disabled and all her rigging
was in ship-shape order. But thinking
something serious had happened or at
least that the fishermen had run out of
water, the captain of the coaster sent a
boat to the schooner to ascertain the
trouble. When it neared the schooner
one OF the men cried out:
What's the matter; do you need
water?"
mo, we've got plenty Of water and
provisions" was the reply, but we
have been out of beans two weel1s-we
want beans"
The reason why baked beans outside
of New England are SO unlike the gen
uine article is that they are not proper
ly cooked. and more especially because
they are not cooked in an old-fashioned
down-east bean pot. There are prob
ably no real bean pots on sale outside
OF New England. They are all about
the same in appearance, and are made
of potter's clay, which is the material
flower pots are made Of.
Anyone can have nice baked beans

One quart of beans is sufficient when
cooked for two meals for an average
family. They should be soaked in cold
water for an hour or So Then salt and
pepper should be added, together with
half teaspoonful of mustard and hall
