General Order No. g.
After four years of arduous service, mark
ed by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the
Army of Northern Virginia has been COM
PEELED to yield to overwhelming numbers and
resources.
need not tell the brave survivors of so
many hard fought battles, who have remained
steadfast to the last, that have consented to
this result from no distrust of them. But
plish nothing that would compensate for the
loss which would have accompanied = con-
tinuance of the contest, determined to avoid
the useless sacrificed of those whose past SER
vices have endeavored them to their country
men. By the terms of the agreement, officers
and men can return to their homes and remain
until exchanged.
You will take with you the satisfaction that
proceeds from the consciousness of duty faith
fully performed, and earnestly pray that a
merciful God will extend to you his blessing
and protection. With an unceasing admi-
ration Of your consistency and devotion
to your country, and grateful remembrance
of your kind and generous consideration for
myself, l bid you an affectionate farewell.

DIED.

If we could dyspepsia to its source, i t
would lead back to our kitchens. 1t fact, the
secret of good health is good cooking. If
we'll cooked, foods are partially digested; if
poorly cooked. they are less digestible than
in their raw state. If you are victim of
faulty cooking; that is. if you suffer from
dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked
for in an artificially digested food and food
which will at the same time aid the digestion
OF other foods. Such preparation virtually
rests the tired digestive organs, thereby re-
storing them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by the
Shakers Of Mount Lebanon is just such pre-
paration, and single 10 cent bottle will con.
vince you of its value. If your druggist
doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it

on Frederick street and another around the

young gentleman stopped to post letter
on his way with his sister and cousin to the

paniOns to 60 around and meet him at the

only to meet him as he came out, but togiye
him something of a surprise, and SO hid in
the Lewis street vestibule. In moment

young tragedienne,a as she collared him. The
young man broke loose, but had hardly.
reached the door when the other young lady
with "H-a-a! W-r-r-r-r-etch" pounded
him in the breast. and then screamed "Oh
my goodness, thought it was brother. !"
The young man disappeared in the dark
ness-he had seen enough of the "new
woman" to do for while at least. When
the brother came out of the Post Office he
found the two young ladies in Mysteries
over their attempted murder and robbery.
All three tried to find the victim, to apollo
gize, but he was not to be found.
