treasure and the despotic tyrant OF the
most republican household.
The morning caller. MONDAY crawler,
midnight bawler. 4.
The only precious possession that
never excites envy. .
The latest edition of humanity-of
which every couple think they possess
the finest copy.
A native of all counties, who speaks
the language of none.
About twenty-five inches OF coo ana
wiggle, writhe and scream. filled with
suction and testing apparatus Tor MIX
and an automatic alarm to regulate
supply. ,
Athing we are expected to kiss and
look as if we enjoyed it. -
A little stranger, with a Zee pass TO
hearts best affection.
That which makes home happier, love
stronger, patience greater, hands busiel'
nights longer, days shorter, purses iisht-
err, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten
the future brighter.

THE RICHMOND REUNION.

Chairman Peyton Wise, of the committee APP
pointed to prepare for the sixth annual reunion
of the United Confederate Veterans, has issued
the following stirring address:
RICHMOND, VA, March IS, 1896.
To the United Confederate Veterans every
where: Your Sixth Annual Reunion VIII ne
held at Richmond, Va, on the 30th June, ISL
and I'd days of July next. j.,
family and oid-time tiresides, 10y the x)hnands
of business, by your natural enersle5k ana ny
the necessities of life, you are comK& home
home to the city which is yours by the supreme
| tests of the rain of fire through which you
| went, and of the sea of blood through WHICH
you passed, on the mission or her anu thG con-,
| mon defence. You have been no prodiSal sons,
for you inherited only the remnants OF u fal.d-
cious ravage that was rampant every where III
your land; because you had notlilnS lelI put
the manhood from which you were lnseparable;
| But the fatted calf shall be killed for you, ana
we shall be merry together, not because OF pity
for your sins, but because pride III your lame
demands.
You t traverse again the streets which
thrilled to the tread of your legions while they
were passing to the ranks OF the best army that
the world ever knew.
You shall be confronted by the Virsinians
who were the comrades of your immortal glory
and who are your brothers forever.
You shall see again the women who nurSed
YOU back to vigOr from the feeblencss of wounds
and want, from the wretchedw woe of your losses
and who pointed the dying gaze of your fellows
to the heaven which stopped to entold them.
Your eyes shall behold for themselves the
city which proudly wrapped herself in YOU
patriotic flames, from which she has emerged
a thing of beauty and IA joy for always.
You shall revisit the battle-tie1dS which IiVt
been cOnsecrated by your blood. and where, l
you lost your country. you found a fame tina
fills the world.
Heartily helped by our city and her citizens
we are building for you a place OF reunion II
which ten thousand Of you may make the wei
kin ring to the music Dixie and to the choru
Of the Rebel Yell.
On some appropriate day of the Reunion yo'
shall be part and parcel Of the rearing OF tina
monument which shall be to Jefferson Davis
not merely because he was your President AM
dwelt as such i'll the capital of your Confede1
acy, but because he was the unspeakable typ
Of that ineffable manhood which made the al
mics of the South
Di P%r5es x xHeP 81 81 mere in Dr raSss W.! or d sls %y'S
but for sweet meSlory's sake, will be sung owe
again the old sg,.gs, told over again the oil
tales, fought over the old fights, yelled agar
the old yell, and raised again the old flag.
Come, then. Come to our hearts aud home
and to these bivouacs. Before we pass to til
great beyond we ought to have one more bou
and toast together. The toast shall be to GU
own memories and to our Confederate con
rades wherever they may be; but it shall carr
along with it a brave blessing for our fellow
citizens everywhere, a determined devotion t
the safety, honor and welfare of the entlT
country. PE1ION WioE, Cha'iMah'

St. Louis, June 6 6-Affalrs In the
G ,rmrldden district of the two cities are
taking on more cheerful aspect. Inc
first rusn OF relief Is over. and there is
evidence of IA general improvement IN
the condition of tornado sufferers at the
district relief stations. There rs no
,iceable decrease in the number of APP
plicants for aid, and it is the opinion
that the stations in st. Louis will be
closed to day. With the abandonment
of the district stations, however, the re-
lief work will be far from finished.
Whatever remains from the general
fund will be left in the keeping of the
merchants exchange committee, who
will continue the work wherever neces-
sary The relief fund continues to grow
until it has reached $lS3,5 53l. In all
parts of the tornado district houses are
being made habitable once more and
demolished buildings are being rapidly
rebuilt In East st Louis the work of
restoration goes steadily, and there is no
abatement of the relief committees work
many people who were compelled to 1--we
iu tents until their demolished homes
repaired, are becoming accustomed to
| their new environments. In some
| places tenants live in box cars. None
| of the patients in the hospitals has died
| during the past two days, and. accord
/ ing to the statements of attending ply
Sicians, no more fatalities will be report
ed from these institutions.
