A Coufsderate hand which Deserted m q
Body % WashinrtOn.
In the latter part Of the month Of
March, 1866, Washington saw many
signs Of collapse Of tho rebellion The
Confederate army appeared to b badly
d~emotnlized, and desertcrs, who arrived
constantly in large numbers, reported
that men from Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida and the Carolinas could not be ex-
pected 20 have any heart I'm n fight
which then seemed only for tho defense
Of Virginia, while their own states were
overrun by the armies Of tho Union.
During tho month Of March more than
5000 deserters were received at Wash
ington, and great numbers were quar-
tered at Fort Monroe, Annapolis and
other points nearer the lines, where they
were put to work In the quartermaster's
department or in the naval service.
One curiosity Of the times was q Con-
federate regimental band which had de-
serted in n body with its instruments
and was allowed to march through the
streets Of the national capital playing
Union airs. This was M Of the oldest
signs Of the final break mp. People re-
called a story, told BY Hooker, that
when the Union army scaled and occu-
| pied Lookout Mountain IA rebel sentry
on duty on the crest Of one Of the most
difficult p%recipices saw our men pile mp
in solid masses over sleeps which had
been thought inaccessible and was so
surprised that he forgot to run, but
stood with feet rooted to the spot,
watching the Union force climbing up,
and streaming past him, and driving
the enemy far TO the rear, until he was
left alone, a statue Of amazement. Re-
covering himself at last, he threw down
his musket, stripped off his rebel gray
jacket, stood on them both, and looking
far OF to the sunny south stretched out
as q map below him, said, How are
you. Southern Confcderacy?"
But Notwithstanding such indications
Of n collapse Of the rebellion at this very
time many northern Union newspapers,
led by Horace Greeley and others Of his
stamp, were demanding that appeals
should be made to the southern people
"to stop the flow Of blood and the waste
Of treasure" and that some message
should DO sent to the southerners $50
terse that it win surely be circulated
and so lucid that it cannot be miscon-
strued or perverted, " by way Of an in
yitation to cease fighting. Curiously
enough, the nearer the time came for q
final surrender the more fervid was the
demand for negotiation and appeal from
the unreasonable radicals in the ranks
Of northern Unionists. But all this was
soon to end, and while a small party
was asking, why not negotiate?" the
downfall came.-Noah Brooks in Cen

Football has never been a very gentle
game, to judge from what Master
Stubbes says about it in his "Anatomie
Of Abuses, F" published in 1888:
For, as concerning football playing, !
protest unto you it may rather be called
a friendly kinde Of fight than a play Of
recreation, a bloody and numbering
practice than a sport or pastime, for
dooth not every one I've in waight for
his adversarie, seeking to overthrow
him and to pickle him ON his nose,
though it DO on hard stones, so that by
this meane sometimes their necks are
broken, sometimes their backs, some
times their legs, sometimes their armes,
sometimes one part thrust out Of joynt,
sometimes another; sometimes the noses
gush out with blood; sometimes their
eyes start out.

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DEr1ANDED.

A general banking business Is done BY
the human system, because the blood de-
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we may
gain from day to day. This wealth Is laid
up against "a rainy day" as a reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
II we nave laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour Of our greatest need.
There Is danger IN getting thin, because it's
a sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood Is nearly always to gain in whole
some flesh. The odds are in favor Of the
germs Of consumption, grip, or pneumonia.
Il our liver be inactive and our blood im-
pure, or If our flesh be reduced bel0zO q
healthy standard. What IL required is an
increase in our germ HghH1g strength. Or.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes il wholesome, stops
the waste Of tissue and at the same time
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood ofits p~Oisons, cleanse and
invigorate the great organs Of the body,
v~italize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
Oft, IS surely a remedy Of great value. But
when We make q positive statement that %
per cent Of all cases Of consumption can, II
taken IN b early stages Of the disease. be
CURED with the Discovery" Il seems like
a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks Is that
you make a thorough investigation and
satisfy yourself Of the truth Of This assertion.
By sending to the Worlds Dispeusary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. ", you can get
a free book with the names, addresses and
photographs Of q large number Of those

as well as Of skin and %scrofuious affections

medical treatise on consumption, bronchitis,

TWO AUTOGRAPHS.

Bismarck Saw Won AIOltke's Sentiment and
Went Him One Better.
A young German lady Of rank, pos
sessed Of great personal charms and sim
gularly winning manners, the daughter
Of a prominent politician, herself now a
happy wife and mother, once beguiled
Moltke, who was paying a brief visit to
her fathers country home in Silesia,
into writing something in her autograph
album. This was the entry:
Luge vergcht;
Wahrhcit bcstcht.
v. MoLrKE, Feldmarschall
Which in English would be-:
A lilo must fail;
Truth viii prevail
The willy damsel now determined TO
bide her time until she should be able
to match Moltke's dictum. When her
family had again settled down in their
Berlin quarters for tho winter season,
Prince Bismarck called one afternoon,
and she showed him her book, calling
his attention to what the great strate-
gist had written, adding artlessly; "Do
you think the same, dear prince? Per-
baps you would like to add your COM
mentY And ON the same page? Oh,
thank you 20 very muchi Aud may !
send the volume to the WiIhelmstrasse?''
The chancellor next day returned the
book, now q greatly treasured family
possession, and this is what he had writ
ten boneath the contribution Of his col
league;
Wohl weiss ich, dass in jcner Welt
Die Wahrheit stcts den Sieg behalf.
Doch gogcn LUCE diosos Lebons
Kampft selbst Gin Feldmarsehall Yergebens.
V. BIsAARCK, Reichskanzler.
Very roughly Englished, the chancel-
lor's lines might ran something like
this:
In future worlds, beyond the pale,
Tho truth Is strong and shall prevail.
But 'gainst our mundane lies, tits plain,
Field marshals even fight IN vain.

GREATEST SILVER MEETING.
II Is Addressed by Bryan, McLaurin
and Allen.

JACKSON, TENN, May 25.-The
greatest silver meeting yet held in the
South was that which occurred here to-
day, when 5000 Democrats from West
Tennessee, North Mississippi. and West
Kentucky were present to hear W. j.
Bryan, Of Nebraska; Senator McLaurin,
OF Mississippi Private" John Allen, of
Mississippi, and z. w. Mccormack. OF
Tennessee.
a Madison county bimetallic league was
formed In the morning. with p. q. Muir
ray, a leading manufacturer, as presi-
dent. and a vice-presdent for every pre-
cinct in the county.
The speaking took place in the Taberna-
Gle. Mayor Carruthers presided. Hon.
j. r. Little, of Arkansas, spoke first,
and Hon. W. j. Bryan received an en-
thuslastic welcome when introduced by
Hon. Thomas II. Paine.
After arguing the Inconsistency be-
tween the utterances Of Mr. Carlisle In
1878 and his recent speeches, he said
the opponents OF free coinage had for
years shielded themselves behind am
biguous phrases, and have pretended TO
be adherents OF blmetallism. 1t has for
that reason been difficult TO make the
issue clear and distinct. Since Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr. Carlisle have now pro-
nounccd for gold. there is no longer any
need for doubt or concealment. A univer-
sal gold standard would be a crime
against mankind. Our nation as a debtor
nation would suffer much more than
England from a gold standard. The
speaker quoted from a memorial present
ed yesterday 10 the Chancellor of the
English Exchequer. regretting the grow
ing agitation In favor OF bimetallism. The
United States should take the lead for
the restoration Of silver.
The ratio OF 16 TO / is the most practi-
cal one. IL 1t should be fixed diff
ferently, 25 TO l by international agree
ment, IL would contract the metallic
money OF the world one sixth, increase
the debts of the world billions OF dol
lars, and decrease the market value Of
the property OF the world. II believe
the United States is large enough 10 ar
ford an unlimited market for all the sill
yer that would come 10 IL, and maintain
the parity az the present ratio. 1t is
absurd to speak OF the silver dollar as
a cheap dollar and then complain that
free coinage would enrich the mine
owners. Mr.. Cleveland and his associates
seem to be trying TO run the Demo
cratic party on the financial policy OF
John Sherman"
"The agitation now going on VIII soon
be over. and the Democratic party Will
rest again in undisturbed possession OF
Democratic principles, and will present an
almost unbroken front in favor OF the
