TOOK JOHNNIE TO THE SHOW. Poor little Johnnie longed to go And see the show; Like any simple trusting lad Who viewed the walls in pictures clad Of men who lived on horses backs, Or climbed each others heads in stacks, Or drivelled dressed in stripes and spots, Or tied themselves in double knots, Or metamorphosed into wheels, Or swung each other by the heels, Or, placid, led unblemished lives Amid fusillade of knives, Or punched the lion while he roared, Or with their heads his mouth explored You would yourself have longed to go And see the show! Then Johnnie's father said, "Although loathe, abhor, and hate the show, feel that little John should go, The curious animals to see; 'Twould never dO-so little grown For him to wonder round alone;
 My little boy shall go with me-" And JOhnnie's mother-prudent dame And Johnnie's auntie-felt the same; And JOhnnie's Uncle Lemuel, His second cousin, Samuel, His older sister, Mary, And Susan Ann and Sarah, His brother and his brother-in-law, His fathers cautious mother-in-law, And others, went along with him To see that nOught was wrong with him Twas not sin to take, you know, Poor Johnnie to the show! As any one might be afraid, Twas very hard, with all this aid, For little John to see the show. They hustled him, they jostled him,
 They pulled him to and fro; When one of them would chance to see A knot of friends, then he or she Would grasp the urchin by the hand, So all the world would understand That they had simply come, you know, With Johnnie to the show. And Johnnie's heart was breaking, His heightened arms were aching, His pulse was wildly throbbing, His little breath was sobbing,
 When with new and different ache In every separate toe,
 He lay at night-in his own charge
 A dreary poor and lonely one,
 And murmured, "I'm the only one Of all the family, small or large,
 That didn't see the shOw!"

A large number of the boys escaped last night, and eight or ten were recaptured to-day. Another regiment left for the front to-day, and more conscripts came to guard us.
 May 18.-About forty prisoners came in to-day. Most of them were the sick and wounded that were captured and left back at Plymouth. They bring glorious news, and say that Grants army is with in four miles of Richmond; and that Burnside has captured Fort Darling, and is up to Richmond with fleet of much strength. We heard to-day that Sher- mans army is sixty miles this side of Dal- ton. It is said that Corporal l.. Mills, of Go. B, has died of his wounds received at Plymouth, N. c.

It is said that Grant has been driven back from Petersburg to Fredericksburg with loss of twenty seven thousand. Anoth- CT report this morning is that Grant was within six miles of Richmond and was building depot of supplies on the James River. Later, it is reported that we have taken Richmond with twenty thousand prisoners.
 May 2O.-We understand this morning that fifteen thousand prisoners are to go from here to Savannah to-day to be ex- changed, and the Rebel Quartermaster has orders to get all the prisoners out of here as soon as possible.

 May 21.-We have an addition of five or six hundred more prisoners to-day from Danville, Va. Part of them were from the Fifth Corps, and were taken the fifth, at Minerva, Va. The others were old prisoners. They all bring good news, and say our armies are all right and are giv- ing the Rebs 'Hail Columbia" On the other hand, the "Macon Confederate" ot the 20th, states that Grant is repulsed at all points. This we do not believe. The boys are in good spirits.

 If You USE A LITTLE REASONING and not be influenced by the claim that catarrh is blood disease, you can easily prove that catarrh is climatic. Have you not the severest catarrhal attacks during winter and spring, and have you but little evidence of catarrh during the summer Yes. We'll, this proves it is 8 climatic disordes, infiaming the membrane of the nasal passages. It is a waste of time and money to invest in in blood remedies.
