DEDICATED.
The Monument to Confederate
 Dead at Chicago.
Unique and Interesting Ceremonies of spiking and Monumenting the Guns Surrounding the Memo-
 rial Shaft.
IN oAKwoops CEMETERY.

CHICAGO, May 30-Tn one corner of Oakwoods cemetery there have stood for years many rows of short, white stones, which mark the last resting places of 6,e00 men who, in the days between 'Gl and 65, wore the eenfed- crate gray, and who, far from their homes and friends sealed with their lives their devotion to the lost eause. To-day iheye stands above these loelY stones of white tall and beautiful monument, erected partly by the sons of the southland and partly by men of the north, to testify, the one their love for gallant comrades fallen in the fight, and the other the respect which heroic endurance and brilliant courage must always evoke, when it is based, as was the endurance and courage of the men who sleep in Oakwoods, upon q firm conviction of justice of the cause for which they strove.
 To-day, above these grass-grown mounds the grizzled veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic and the white-haired warriors of the south clasped hands and realized that the war is over. The roses of the north fell in profusion upon the graves of confederate dead, and over the resting places of many of those who wore the blue were scattered the magnolia blos- soms of the south, and by the hands of men who had fiereely sought in battle the lives of the silent sleepers who lay below.
 The dedication of the confederate monument to-day marked such a blend ing, or rather such an eradication of the line between the great sections as the nation has rarely seen before. Side by side, with the man who sent Pickettas brave Virginians against Gib- bons wall ofsteeI on Cemetery Ridge, stood the man who stoutly hurled back Hoods mad charges at Franklin Longstrcet and Schofeld. Ell bow to elbow stood the men who led the best blood of the south behind the guidons of Stuart, and he who was the cavalier par excellence of Sheridan's famous eavalry--Fitzhugh Ice.

SPIKED THE GUNS.

Col. Stewart advanced to the piece and with him went Lieut.-Col. France, carrying triangular bolt of steel, and Mr. Noel, who bore heavy ham mer. Col. Stewart spoke the first ords of the ceremony:
 This gun, having fired its last shot on the field of battle, win now be silenced forever" t& # zs@
 Lieut. Col Trance placed the spike in the vent of the gun.

 Down came Mir. Noel's sledge on the head of the spike, driving it home and rendering that cannon forever harm less. HF8 at
 Col. Stewart then escorted Miss Lucy lee Hill 10 the pedestal beside the spiked cannon, and Miss Hill said

Nests of the Hrax- -snnlrral.

In the east the northern gray squir= rel is the commonest species, and that which k most widely known. There is no need 10 describe ithere; but when you come to describe it's nesting habits, beware of making assertions as to what it does not do. In Washington l once heard a lively three-cornered dis pute on this subject, which was quite instructive. One boy asserted that the gray squirrel nests in hollow trees, beech or oak preferred. Another de- clared that in summer it builds nest Of green leaves, for summer use only. A third contended that the summer nest is built of bark strippings from cedar-trees, made into big, round ball. Within d month we collected, within ten miles of the national mu- scum, three fine nests which proved that all three of the disputants were right Moral: Never base U general statement on insufficient facts.-W.

 Ono That Is Unknown to Most Travellers
 When so many people are travelling about on the water, it may be interest ing to gather IT. whatever opinions may be floating about as to the causes of seasicltness, in order that from the many accounts one may determine per chance what remedy is most likely to prove available.
 is suggested by physician who has made the subject one of special study, that the effect of the light. the water and the motion on the eyes may account for many cases of sea sickness. Patients whose eyes habi tu- ally trouble them are said to suffer more severely, and various affections of the optic nerve seem to accompany some of the worst seasicx cases. IL has been said that persons who are about to go on the water should pro vide themselves with dark spectacles, and wear them for little while, also that they carefully avoid looking at the water until they are accustomed to the motion of the ship. Some peo- pie entirely avoid seasickness by what they call getting the rhythm of the vessel. Imaginative people fancy that a ship has keynote and moves in strictly regular time. To find this and put the mind in direct action with it will, it is claimed, not only prevent sickness, but will furnish the most de lfghtfnl and novel set of sensations
 One veteran traveller always selects some song with positive accent. This she gets in her mind, and either huns it very softly or. mentally keeps the time and tone until entirely aecus- toned to her surroundings. Of course, there are persons who become i'll on cars, and sometimes by rapid riding in | carriage. A sick headache is not infrequent sequence of long drives or very rapid horseback riding. These people have q constitutional weak ness that is not to be overcome by any ordinary means. The accent and keynote idea, however, is not only in- terestfng but suggestive and it would be well worth the attention of those who suffer from this unfortunate malady to make some experiments at the first oppertunity.-N \.
