have not, for but few have ever been
made down south, especially i'll the in
terror, where there are no ports of en-
try and no floating population. Our
only experience was during the civil war,
when we were unable to distinguish reg
uars from volunteers SO far as conduct
was concerned on their march to the sea.
This Macon gentleman says that the
only big camp row that has occurred in
this war was in Il camp of Georgia vol
unteers. and he begs me not to write so
th0ughtlessly and says: You would
dissuade every decent man from join
ing the army and we would have only
an army of toughs and bruteS who
would disgrace Christendom. No camp
of regulars was ever guilty of such
beastiality as occurred at Chickamau-
ga.
Well, there is now good chance for a
moral fight between the regulars and the
volunteers and | hope the discussion will
do good and raise the standard of our sol
diers Hundreds of them have disgraced
their calling and spread terror in their
march to the gulf and paralyzed the pa
triotism of our people. My Macon friend
says: ~ Travelled with few regulars

BYRON ON SPAIN.

Ye who would more of Spain, and
Spaniards know,
Go read whate'er is writ of bloodiest
strife,
Whate'er kneen vengeance urged on for
eign foe
Can act is acting there against mans
life.
From flashing scimetar to secret knife,
War mouldeth his own weapon to his
need,
So he may guard the sister and the wife.
SO may he make each cursed oppress0r
bleed,
mOrseless deed!
Flows there a tear Of pity for the dead?
Look DER the ravage Of the reeking
plain;
Look on the hands with female slaughter
red,
Then to the dogs resign the unburied
slain;
Then to the vuture cit each corse re-
main,
Albeit unworthy of the prey birds nav.
Let their bleach'd bones and hoods
unbleachng stain
Long mark the battlefield with hideous
awe,
Thus only may our sons conceive the
Scenes we saw.

ORIGIN OF ICE-CREAM. +

How the Present Delicious Compound
Was by Degrees Evolved.
Early July days generally see the ice
cream and soda parlors doing a steadily
increasing business, says the Chicago
Chronicle. Ice cream is much older
sweetmeat than many persons suppose.
In the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury, gOblets made of ice and also iced
fruit-that is, fruit frozen over-were
first brought to table. The limOnadiers.
or lemonade sellers of Paris, endeavored
to increase the popularity of their wares
by icing them, and one, more enterpris
ing than the rest, an Italian named
Procopa Couteaux, in the year 1860.
conceived the idea of converting such
beverages entirely into ice, and about
twenty years later iced liquors-that is,
liquors changed into ice-were the prin-
cipal things sold by the limOnadiers. BY
the end of that century iced liquors were
quite common in Paris.
Ice cream. or iced butter" as it
was first called, from its supposed re-
semblance to that substance, soon fol-
lowed. 1t was first known in Paris in
1774. The Du de Charities often went
at that time to the Paris coffee houses
to drink glass of iced Equor, and
the landlord having one day presented
him with his farms" formed in edible
ice. this kind of sweetmeat became the
fashion. German cooks at once took up
the new art. 1t was not long in reach
ing England. for in 1776 French cook
resident in London, named Clermont.
wrote '"rhe Modern Cook" in which
sweet ices were first described for the
instruction of English cooks. The ice
cream of these days is an enormously
elaborated sweetmeat compared with
that of the Olden time.

Craig WAS a tenant On Ginn's farm and

to recover. The case is complicated be-

Of the performances OF Andrew Mack,
the singing comedian, as he is aiptly
called, is his inimitable rendering OF
Irish ballads, old and new. No one on
the stage appreciates their poetry, SEN
timent and music more than he, and
no one can more effectively convey
those qualities to an audience. In adj
dltion he has a delightful lbrogue of a
most insinuating nature. 'An Irish
Gentleman" his new play by Ramasy

introduce number OF new songs
which will be heard here for the first
