HOW TO MAKE LOVE.
New and Very Novel, Though Not
 Successful, Method.

ouCCSSSIuA1 1ACtHOQs
 A good story is told of a young man who had gained access to the house of one of the richest and most aristocratic families in the city. He fell in love with the only daughter of the house, and tried to ingratiate himself with her in every possible manner, espe- ciallly by bringing her the latest pub lications.
 One day the father of the young lady found one of these books lying on the table, and began glancing through 1t. In one of the chapters he found num- Der of words underlined with a lead pencil-not beautiful passages, but in- significant words as "I' and ''you." He turned over leaf after leaf, and found everywhere the same thing.
 He connected up the underlined words, and read as follows: Dear est Fraeulein: Will it insult you if I tell you that I adore you, and"
 In short, love letter of the most gushing description, and closing with the suggestive words: Answer in the next chapter"
 Then he took lead pencil, under lined some words in the next chapter, wrapped the book in a piece of paper, and handed 1t to the footman, whom he instructed to take 1t back to the young gentleman.
 The latter opened the volume, his heart throbbing like .sledgehammer, and found the words underlined in the next chapter. He read as follows:
 "You young scoundrel! If you dare to cross the threshold of my house again, I shall kick you c of the win dow."-New York Mercury.

Everything connected with the interment Is absolutely gratuitous, in- cluding the grave and the religious service. All classes avail themselves freely of the law.

doing garrison duty at Roanoke Island, the
troops there stationed being under the COM
mapd of our esteemed Colonel, Rush G.
Hawkins. an expedition was fitted out which,
10 nv mind. was one Of the most daring of
the many raids into the enemy's country
made by that famous regiment during its
campaign on the Carolina coast.
Col. Hawkins, as rule, kept himself

Startinp out in the direction their command

SETTING A COM RADE RIGHT.
Something About Those Six Rodman Guns

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In reply
to Comrade Hodges letter of recent date
/ will say was not attempting to write q
history of Battery j, I'd Ill. Art; only
sketching. But l want to set the comrade
right.
Battery l started out from Chattanooga,
Tenn, in the Spring of 1864, with 6-gun
battery of 1O-pound rifed Rodmans, and
used them during the Atlanta campaign.
After the Jonesboro fight we were ordered
back to Chattanooga, and went by rail, going
as far as Huntsville. After operating in
that vicinity for time we were again
ordered to Atlanta, marching by the way of
Kingston. Ga, little railroad station be-
tween Chattanooga and Atlanta, where we
lay over several weeks, drew pay, voted for
Abe Lincoln drew four new brass guns and
turned over the old ROdmans. We also
turned over our old, jaded horses and drew
better ones.
Up to this time we had 6-gun battery,
with three teams TO the gun; afterward we
had a 4-gun battery, with four teams to the
gun. In the language of Comrade Hodge,
Am / not right, boys?" The four guns
drawn Mt Kingston were those turned over
at Washington i'll 1865.
After leaving Kingston we marched to
Atlanta, arriving there at o'clock p. M
That night Atlanta burned, and the next
morning, at 5 o'clock a. M, Sherman's army
pulled through its ashes for the sea; and
thereby hangs tale.
In speaking of Atlanta brings to our
memory few days after that city came
into our hands. My chum, James T. Bed
ford, and myself were taking an inventory
of goods and things in and about that once
besieged city, and to the best of my memory
now there was not a building in it'but what
had from one to a dozen cannon-baH holes
in or through them. This was more than
81 years ago, but they tell me now that At
lanta has arisen from her ashes and is now
the Queen City of the South. Comrades
who were in Atlanta the past Summer tell
me that trees large enough for good, big saw
logs have grown up out of the breastwords
that we fought behind just outside OF the
