MIGHT WALK BACK.
How q PrOdigaI SON Was Received by
HIS Father.

At the noon mess of the staff Of the Sec
ond Regiment yesterday a story was told of
one of the boys who had deserted from the
brigade to return to his home. His name
and the location of his home were not men
toned. other than that the latter was in
some own other than indianapolis. When
the boy walked into the yard at home, still
wearing the blue. though he had discarded
its higher significance, his father came to
the door and stared in astonishment at the
sight of his son. '.What are you doing
hereg' he asked.
oh, l got tired of camp, the son re-
piled. and, making a desperate effort to
justify himself, Il wanted 10 be at home

anger and he continued: You're a hill of

back TO camp. and If you haven't money 10
pay railroad fare. walk
The officers of the Second expect any day
to hear of the boy again answering Here"

Gnge,s Estimnte oil War Exnense,

WASHINGTON, May S.-The Senate COM
mittee on finance resumed it's sitting at 1879
to-day, hearing Secretary Gage ON the ne
cessity of including in the war revenue bill
authority for the issuance of bonds. The
secretary supplied the committee all the in
formation in his possession as to the cost
of the war up to date and also the best
estimates obtainable of future expenses.
Secretary Gage told the committee that the
best estimates obtainable Indicate that for
the next two months the war will increase
the governmental expenditures about $J0,-
0n,00. BY that time the entire amount i'm
the treasury, with the exception of the gold
reserve, would be exhausted. and $50. GEO. 900
of the reserve also taken. Mr.. Gage also
stated ii to be his opinion that the revenues
would decrease on account of the war. In
view Of these facts, he considered some au-
thorization for the issue of bonds necessary.
Ho says no estimate had been made of the
cost of the war a year hence. as no one
could say how long Ii would continue.
When the finance committee adjourned to-
night there was no certainty when the work
on the war revenue bill would be concluded.

tons, painful boils, annoying pim-
pies and other affections, which ap-
pear so generally at this season, make
the use of that grand Spring Medi-
cine, Hoods Sarsaparilla, a necessity.
The accumulated impurities in the
blood cause very different symptoms
with some people. The kidneys,
liver and bowels are overmatched in
their efforts to relieve the clogged
system. Dizzy headaches, bilious
attacks, failure of appetite, coated
tongue, lame back, indigestion and
that tired feeling are some results.
From the same cause may also come
scrofula, neuralgia, sciatica or rheu-
matism.
All these troubles and more may prop
erly be called "Spring Humors,"
and just as there is n cause, a cure
is found in just one remedy, and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hoods Sarsaparilla p%urifies the impure
blood, enriches blood which is weak
and thin, vitalizes blood which lacks
vitality. Thus it reaches every part
of the human system.

While the enlistment was for two years,
unless sooner discharged, the government
contemplates mastering out all men who
went with the volunteers I'm anticipation
Of war. and to substitute in their places
men who are willing to serve in the
present state Of affairs. But the fact
that peace has been declared. it is now
claimed. does not compel the President TO
discharge men who volunteered for two
years. because while there is actually no
fighting. the consequences Of the war re-
ouire the presence of more troops than
the regular army al furnish, and a man
who volunteered canno complain that
there is no fighting, and demand that he
must be discharged, because the neces-
sity for the volunteers may be just as
great In accomplishing the purposes for
which the war was begun as If a battle
were actually going on. However, the
prospects are that all unwilling volun-
teers viii be discharged in the course Of a
few months.

galleries beyond the sea. And what Is
specially gratifying, the people OF all
classes seem 10 realize that a great priVi-
lege has been extended them. IL is by
exposing 20 the public such masterpieces
In collections that the taste of the people
may be educated. Every tourist in Paris
remarks on the eager ayidity with which
even the common people gaze upon the
pictures In the great museums. The
children hang around them and drink In
the beauties. They have for many cen
turtles been educated along that line.
And what is true OF France is equally
true Of Italy n Holland. While they
are ignorant on many things. they are

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Dc the laws Of this State allow a mar
ried mans wages to be attached TO satisfy
a claim of a man who went security for
another? $. II. +.
Your question is not clear. Probably
you mean to ask if a married mans
salary can be attached for a liability
which he incurred as surety for another.
Section 1862 Of the Code of 1857, provides
that wages owing to a l~aboring-man
being a householder, not exceeding
$50 per month, shall be exempt from dis
tress, levy, or garnishment.
There is also an act passed by the last
Legislature (Acts of Assembly, 1S97-'9S,
page 66O which further aims to protect
l~aboring-men and householders.
Section 36i7 provides that ever If the
householder or laborer valves the ex-
emption provided by section 1862. such
waiver may not be taken advantage of.
You should observe, however. that
where the salary is over so, all above
that amount is liable.

Assays of Minerals,
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please answer through your Query
column whether or not Virginia has a
mineral assayer, and If so, where is his
officer II there is no such official, where
can 1 get minerals analysed, and what
will be the cost Z. w. II.
Corinth, Va.
The Act OF Assembly, approved Febru.
airy Is, 1892, provides for 'assaying for the
benefit OF the owners thereof Of any mine
rails found in his State" The Board Of
Agriculture bears the cost Of this work
out Of its agricultural fund. To enable
it to carry out this work according to the
intention of the Legislature, and within
is necessary that the following instruc-
lions be followed strictly:
1. a specimen of the mineral must
be sent by mail to the COMMISSIONS of
Agriculture, accompanied by a letter from
the owner of the land. stating what he
owns and how far it has been developed.
II it Is found worthy of assay after eX-
animation by the Department Chemist,
the owner will be furnished with instruc-
tions to send to this department at least
ten pounds prepaid, accompanied with a
description of the mine, veins, location,
ETC., according to printed forms. 1t will
be assayed in it's turn as received. Assays
will not be made for parties having had
assays till those who have filed applica-
lions and a none are served. No assays
will he made from the minerals OF q
mine already assayed. except by the spe-
cial direction Of the COMMISSIONS Of Agri-
culture and for special seasons.
This work is expensive to The Depart
ment Of Agriculture, and while 1t is Of i'm
portance to the State, as well as saving
of none to mineral-land owners, still
this work must be confined TO minerals
Of read value and to bona-fde parties.
and cannot be performed merely to crafty
curiosity or to test idle imaginations OF
mineral wealth.
