THE CIVIL WAR.
Some Facts For Folks Who Are Not Sure
When 1t Ended

Some Facts For Folks Who Are Not Sure
When 1t Ended
Many people think Appomattox
marked the end of the war, as Sumter
did it's beginning. AS a matter of fact
the war did not end officially until
Aug. 30, 1866, when President Johnson
issued proclamation announcing that
war was at an end and that peace, or
der and tranquility and civil authority
existed in all the states. While Lee g
surrender was not the end of the var,
it was the beginning Of the end. John
ston surrendered on April 26, Dick Tay-
lor on May 4 and Kirby Smith not
until May rs. On May 10, more than
month after Lees surrender, sharp
fight took place at Palmetto Ranch, in
Texas, which is called by Jefferson
Davis and other authorities the last
battle of the war. The commander of
the Union troops, mostly colored, says
in his report:
"The last volley of the war, it is be-
lieved, was fred by the Sixty-second
United States Colored infantry, about
sunset on May IS, 1866, between
Whites ranch and the Boca Chica,
Texas" In this fight, which took place
on the American side of the Rio Grande
river. the Mexican Imperialists sent
over body of cavalry, which aided the
Confederates in their last and success
full attack On June 13 Tennessee was
declared at peace; June % the blockade
was raised; July % Grant made his
last official report; April 2, 1855, procla-
nation that Georgia, South Carolina,
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee,
Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis-
sippi and Florida were tranquil was is
sued by the president; Aug. 20, 1866,
war was officially declared ended. The
latter date was in 1867 fixed by congress
as the official and legal date Of the close
of the war. New York World.

LIFE IN MEXICO.

Housekeeping Under Difficulties - How
Clothes Are Washed-The Cooks Domain.
An American woman would grow
gray headed in month if she attempt
ed to keep house in Mexico on the same
plan pursued by the native housewives.
There are no water mains in the aver.
age town, and water for domestic pur
poses is drawn from the public fountaint
and sold from door to door by leather
aproned vendors, who carry it in pic.
turesque vessels Of hide or pottery
Pulque and milk are brought to market
in skins Of sheep, pigs and goats, which
are stripped off the animal carcass by
cutting only the neck and legs and
turned inside out, all the openings but
one being tied up securely. The natives
do not object to the flavor of goat hide
and swineskin in the milk, but visitors
do. ..,.% ,.
The washerwomen have no faith in
modern methods. They get % cents a
day and are satisfied. This sounds i'm
probable to the Chicagoan, who is be-
ing "done up'' by his lauDdress and
has to endure it. The washerwomen all
do their work beside an open stream of
water in a trough Of stone or wood,
beating the articles with round stone,
piece of homemade soap and their
strong hands. No hot water is used.
The scene at the public washhouses is
an interesting one. The method breaks
buttons, bends buckles and tears goods
with the same ease as does a steam
laundry in the States
The average Mexican cook is as print
tive as the washerwoman. No matter
how many times the use Of a modern
cook stove were explained to her, it il
probable that she would build the fire
in the oven and put the bread to bake
in the fire box. What she would use is
called the brasero. Among the poor this
is an urn shaped affair of pottery with
hollow base, where tiny charcoal
fire may be kept alive by constant fan.
ming, the whole being not much larger
than a common howerpot. In the
homes Of the upper classes the brasero
is built in of brick, mortar and piles,
it's surface as high as an American
cook stove, with holes foot square, un-
der each Of which a charcoal fire is kept
burning. Some of these stoves have "a
or 80 ovens, and the operation Of cook.
ing is 80 laborious that the cook has a
relay of assistants to prepare the vege.
tables, wash the dishes and attend the
fires. Chicago Journal.

The MOB.

We dragged him out Of the Jail at night
And out Of the reach of aid,
And off through the gloomy chaparral
We marched in a grim parade.
{'Twas not for the evil heart he had
He was no worse than we. t IL.
But he was tempted, and we were not,
And we ell we're as bad as he. }
So we swung his soul to another world
While the moon looked on serene,
A silhouette of the tree and man,
With stretch Of rope between.
('Twas not for the evil heart he had.
He was tempted more than we,
And not man i'll the sullen crew
Was better or worse than he.

One Of the immemorial customs OF the
navy jacks is to .secrete in the ditty bag.
Of the discharged shipmate who is about
to go ashore can Of corned beet, 9 few
potatoes and perhaps one or two other
articles Of sea food. This is done in or
der to remind the discharged man when
he opens his bag ashore that in the
opinion Of his shipmates he will BE- nm
able 10 earn enough to eat on land il he
takes it into his head not to ship over,
and that they have, therefore, taken q
small measure to shield him from star
walton with q little navy grub when he
has spent his pay day Discharged men
try all sorts Of schemes to keep this stuff
from being placed in their bags. but
nevertheless they nearly always find it
there when they get ashore. N ashing-
ton Letter.
