Ripe tomatoes grown in Smyrna,
has been a delicacy with some of our
people since the month of February.
They are grown in the large hot house
OF II. S. Anthony & Son, and sell
readily at 20 cents per pound, orders
ahead waiting for them to ripen. They
are grown in boxes, and with the
warmth and sunlight received, ripen up
nicely. One stalk was noticed yester-
day to have six ripe ones on it ready
to pull. A larger number of later set
ting will extend their crop until June.
They tried them as an experiment and
are entirely satisfied with the result, in
fact quite as profitable as flowers

that the smile preserved by the artist in the
loved face might greet him on awakening.
And as we look upon the picture of this
sanity woman, we are not surprised that it
was the inspiration of that grand old hero.
The face is oval the features delicate. the
eyes are large and beautiful in their clear and
spirited gaze; the dark curls which cluster
round the finely formed head are half re-
yealed and half concealed by a cap of soft lace
falling yali-like over her shoulders double
ruiz OF Lace encircles a delicate throat: the
brow Is broad, and the mouth is wreathed in
a smile that gives the face a lovely express
ion. We can imagine that TO steal away from
the throng that beset him, this old man often
had his solace in gazing upon this inanimate
portrait of her whom he idolized in life and
revered in death.

Travellers shudder with horror at the
thought of the train wrecker who stealthily
undermines the supports of a railway bridge
and preclpitates passenger train with its
load of precious human freight to horri-
BILE death by FIRE and water. There is q
deadlier enemy than the train wreckcr that
menaces not only travellers but stay at
homes. Its name is indigestion. It slowly
undermires the supports that hold up the
bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold
thousands into the dread valley Of consump-
ton. If people will only take the right pre-
caution they can avoid this calamity and
even remedy it after 1t has occurred If they
will act in time.
All cases of indigestion and every disease
that has its inception in indigestion or faulty
nutrition are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t cures 90 per cent. of
all cases of consumption. 1t cures wasting
diseases. 1t is an unfailing remedy for nerv-
Gus prostration. 1t is the great blood-maker,
flesh builder, and nerve tonic. Thousands
have testified to its merits. There is nothing

November, 1888, Maj. Van Buren,, the Presi-
dents oldest son, married Angelina Singleton,
of South Carolina. Her first appearance at the
White House was at the New Years levee,
when she was supported by the ladies of the
Cabinet in receiving with the President.
From letter written by gentleman who
once saw President Van Buren, at st. Johns
Church, we make the following extract:
lover his shoulders hung a very blue Span
ish cloak. On his appearance up drove asplen-
did carriage drawn by two beautiful blooded
horses. The carriage of his Excellency was
the most superb thing have yet seen. 1t
was of dark olive hue, with ornaments ele-
gantly dispersed, shining as bright as FURNISH
ed gold. When / was in Paris saw Louis
Philippe drive out frequently to Versailles
and back to the Tuileries. When was in
London saw the Queen as frequently drive
out from buckingham Palace around Hyde
Park. When l was at Windsor l also saw the
same royal parsonage drive from the castle to
the chapel. 1 have seen all these, but must
say that the carriage and the horses, the
ordinary equipage Of the Chief Democrat of
this loco-foco equality, is far more elegant,
superb and splendid than that of either of
the other great and royal personages. The
servant dashed up the steps, banged to the
door, jumped up behind, and away rolled
the head of the Republican party, with an
air and style that can equal and surpass that
sof any crowned head of Europe"

A WONDERFUL
HISTORICAL CHART.
A Pictorial History Of the United
States at a Glance.

One Of the most remarkable achievement
that we have ever seen is now before US.
The chart is mounted as wall map, and
is 3 feet 10 inches by feet inches in ex-
tent. There are rollers at top and bottom
with tape at the sides to strengthen it, The
chart is printed in colors, and contains more
things than can be enumerated here. It
shows, in pictorial way, all the Presidents
and their Cabinets, from Washington to Nc
Kinley, in chronological order; the history of
the Government by Congresses; history of
of debts, revenues and expenditures; the
issues of all political parties at various
periods; the political complexion of every
Congress; the naval tonnage of all nations;
the standing armies of every nation; the
area and population of all the States and
Territories brief history of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition; chronological dis
coyeries, explorations, inventions, and i'm
portant events, and the area and population
of foreign countries as compared with the
United States.
But this is not all. There are also maps
of Central America, South Africa, Abyssinia,
Persia, Afghanistan, Alaska, and map of
the solar system.
To crown all, on the back of the chart is
printed In colors, a complete map Of the
United States, showing location of every
railroad, city, town, river, lake, and mount
armchair in the country.
In fact, this chart and map combined en-
ables man to roll up aud carry in one hand
as much historical information about the
United States and the world at large as is
contained in the vast library of Congress,
with its million books.
We have secured few copies of this
combined map and chart for the benefit of
our subscribers, and for one month from this
date we can supply them upon the following
terms, viz:
We will send the chart, by express, pre-
paid, TO any address in the United States or
Canada, free of all cost, to any person who
viii send us club of only three sub
scribers at 81 each.
We have never been able before to secure
so valuable premium as this upon such
conditions that we were able to give it
away 10 our subscribers free of cost.
Everyone should have copy of this map,
and any one can earn it in 10 minutes.
Every Sunday school and every district
school should have one on its walls.

WHNT n SHIRE OF THE HONOR.
The 23d Wis. Was Very Active at Sabine
Crossroads.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
issue Of April 1, 1 notice communication
on Sabine Crossroads, from Comrade Moor
head 45th Ohio wish to add that the
23d Wis. was there also. It is mystery to
me why Comrade Moorhead does not men
ton the gallant Odd Wis, it being one of
the regiments in Gen. Landrum's Brigade,
and in the very front of the battle.
The Odd after the first retreat reformed its
remnants two or three times before falling
back for the last time. The first formation
was near some outbuiidings, not far from the
timber in our rear; the second was at the
edge of the timber, when We advanced
again through underbrush or tall hazel
brush. When we came within few rods
of a rail fence, the rebels arose from behind
it and fred, but, fortunately, their bullets
passed over. Being greatly Outnumbered,
we were forced to fall back again.
The 23d Wis. lost many in wounded and
missing that afternoon. Permit US to share
in the honor of doing our best on that day

For the past five years The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE has been exceedingly
helpful to those desiring to attend Ma
tional Encampments and other great
gatherings by enabling them to easily
secure the necessary railroad tickets.
We propose to repeat this great serv-
ice to them this year, with reference to
the GAR. National Encampment at
Buffalo, n. Y, next August.
Beyond doubt this will be the great

since 1892. Buffalo is a lovely city, full
of attractions, with Niagara Falls and
other places of great interest immsdi-
ately around it. The citizens are MAX
ing extraordinary preparations to enter
tain the veterans, and the city is most
favorably situated for meeting-place of
an immense number of the Eastern and
Western comrades. Everybody acants to
go.
We will give frst-class round trip
ticket to Buffalo and return from any
point in the United States for club of
subscribers to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE.
These clubs will be proportioned to
the distance of the place from Buffalo,
but we will make liberal arrangements
in regard to them.
They can be very easily raised. The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE has been greatly
improved, and is by long odds the most
attractive and interesting paper in the
country. 1t requires little effort to Sc
cure subscribers for it.
This is splendid opportunity. Com
rades can readily provide their own
tickets in this way. Sons and daughters
of veterans can make their fathers an
agreeable present, which will enable him
to meet his dearly loved comrades
