The people who take fur seal skins
are bewailing the extremely low price
they receive for pelts. while the pur-
chaser of seal skin garments is aston
ished at the price demanded for them
by the furrier. 1t is surprising that
the price of garments should be going
up steadily while the value Of the raw
product is declining, but the phenome-
non is not singular in modern trade, al
though trade is popularity supposed to
be governed by the law of supply and
demand.
If the law against the carrying of
concealed weapons in New Mexico was
rigidly enforced fewer lives would be
wrecked. Just few days since, in an
alteration between two young men,
Mac Green and John Jones, a murder
was narrowly averted. Both were

THE reason WHY.

We used to have old fashioned things
like hominy and greens;
We used to have just common soup
made ont Of pork and beans,
But now it's bouillon, consomme, and
things made from book.
And pot-au-feu and Julienne, since my
daughters learned to cook.
We used to have piece of beef just
ordinary meat
And picked pigs feet, spareribs, too,
and other things to eat.
While now it's fillet and ragout, and leg
of mutton praised,
And macaroni au gratin, and Sleeps
heal Holandaised,
Escallops Ia yersailles--a la this and Z
la that,
And sweetbread la Dieppoise it's
enough to kill catl
But while / suffer deeply / invariably
look
As if were delighted cause my daugh.
ter's learned to cook.
We have a lot of salad things, with
dressing mayonnaise,
In place of oysters, blue points fricassed
dozen ways,
And orange rolypoly, float, and peach
meringue, alas,
Enough to wreck stomach that is made
of plated brassl
The good old things have passed away
in silent, sad regret,
We've lots of highfalutings, but nothing
much to eat,
And, while never say word and al
ways pleasant look,
You bet I've had dyspepsia since my
daughters learned to cook.

~ I length we reached Salem.
\ Here there was large railroad
station. We found a
train OF cars laden with
Confederate supplies, consisting prin-
cipally OF flour and bacon. There
were plenty of empty bags about the
station, and all who could secured one
and filled it with flour, and the bags
were then fastened on the rear of our
cavalry saddles. When that was ac-
complished, we were as white as
millers. We could not appropriate
much of the bacon. because we dared
not burden our horses with it. After
all had supplied themselves as we'll
as they could, the cars and the station
were set on fire. AS the structure
began to burn the writer spied large
hogshead in one of the rooms, which
had the appearance of containing
sugar. seized mattock near by,
and with the ax-shaped end Of it /

The slaves were double and were
dreadfully tough, but ! worried
through them at last, and found
leaf tobacco. l hurried from the
burning building thoroughly tired
out and Disguised.
In our march towards the noun
tains, day after day, men and horses
became exhausted and fell down along
the road. One day we passed an
officer lying near the fence on
his back, his face black with flies.
We thought he was dead, but be-
fore we passed by him we were
Mortified to see him throw up
his arms. All this time there had
been more or less fighting in the rear
in the day time, aud the sound of
artillery and small arms was borne to
our ears in front. We pitied the poor
infantry in their weary and painful
march in the dust and heat, but we
cavalry did not know how soon we
would be compelled to march with
them, as our horses were beginning to
fail us. All the latter were shot as
they gave out. The Confederate force
which was following up our retreat
ing army was led by General Early.
Had we headed for the Shenandoah
Valley, it is very likely we would all
have been captured, but instead Gen.
eral Hunter aimed for the Kanawha
Valley, and after we had fully enter
ed the mountains Early marched for
the former valley, and, later, reached
and crossed the Potomac. and en-
countered General Lew Wallace near
Frederick. and the Battle Of Mono
cacy was fought, which, though not
defeat for Early, so impeded his
march on Washington that it gave the

A Virginia man, at recent Clover
Club dinner told OF an old darkey who
was praying for rain in dry season.
20 Lord |" he said, "send down the
rama sweet refreshing shower--a
rain to make the grain big at the root,
long at the husk and shiny in the
grain; not one Of those gully-washing
and flooding rains. but sweet sort
Of shower. o Lord send this rain
to make the grain grow, for if there
is anything / do hate on this earth it
is these little nubbins.'

from behind him. Who said that?'
yelled the major. IF can find out,
I'll have him court-Inartialed. The
major had heard good deal Of chatf-
ing from voices in our night marches,
and he was touchy and snappy.
We arrived at the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs on our march, in the
beautiful grounds Of which we en-
camped for night. Men We're not
satisfied to lie on the grass OF the
lovely lawns, but brought large num-
bers of mattresses out Of the hotel
buildings. on which to have nights
civilized repose. We drew the line
on the water OF the springs for our
coffee, however Further on we struck
the banks of the New river. and, ar
irving at Hawks Nest, there was
halt made to enable all who wished
to peer over the cliffs and seethe river
boiling through it's rocky canyon in
the dizzy depths below. Some scouts
who had made their way through to
us from the Kanawha Valley brought
the cheering intelligence that we
would meet reliet cracker train at
the mouth of Gauley river, about the
head of the Kanawha Valley. We
were now descending the Alieghenies,
and this news put new life into Us
and we hurried on. True enough
after crossing Gauley river we saw
the wagons and rush was made for
them. Box after box of hard tack
was tumbled out. and the men broke
into them ravenously. Although
there was abundance for all, various
individuals would pile into their arms
all they could carry, walk away dis
tance, lay them down, and come back
for more. before they began to eat
any. This was the act Of starving
men. A guard had to be placed over
the wagons. Here we canped until
the whole command, of all arms, had
closed up again. Then we marched
comfortably, but slowly, along the
Kanawha river and through the
beautiful valley to Charleston, ar
irving in that city the and or 3rd OF
July. having been about sixteen days
on the retreat from Lynchburg. When
we marched through the city we were
mostly sorrylooking set. and as tat
tered as any body of Confederates.
Some had no hats. some were bare
footed, some with only shirt and pants
and ragged at that. and almost as
dirty and dark as Hottentots. We
had had no change of clothing and
but little washing or bathing for
over six weeks. Many of us took a
good bath in the New river. AT
Charleston the government gave us
entire new suits of clothing inward
and outward, and the Elk river was
clogged with our cast-off garments.
Charleston is at the head of naviga-
ton on the Kanawha river, and
steamboats, were there provided for
the infantry and all dismounted men
for transportation to Parkersbnrg on
the Ohio river, while those of us
whose horses had survived had a
march overland to the same place.
We were not in hurry to leave
Charleston, however, for we and our
animals both sorely needed rest.

The Shakers have made great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be
the most successful remedy for stom-
ach troubles ever introduced. 1t i'm
mediately relieves all pain and dis
tress after eating, builds up the feeble
system and makes the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested
are better than so-called tonics. The
Cordial not only contains food already
digested, but is digester Of other
foods. Food that is not digested does
more harm than good. People who
use the Cordial insure the digestion
OF what food they eat and in this way
get the benefit of 1t and grow strong.
The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent druggists for free
distribution, contain much interest
ing information on the subject Of dys-
pepsia.

The Arkansas House Of Represen-
tatives the other day passed with a
whoop bill reading: Each mem
Der of the Arkansas Legislature shall
hereafter receive rs cents per diem,
board and washing, for his services
as representative in this body OF one
of the greatest States in the Union. +"
This was introduced as substitute
for a bill proposing reduction Of
salary from SO to IS per day. It was
intended as bit Of humor, to be sure.
But it went through the mill, and will
have to be sent to the Senate. That
body, however. will kill it.
