The National Cemeteries.

The Government has expended So
600, 900 on the eighty-three national
cemeteries, in which are buried $780,
700 honored dead. The most of these
cemeteries are situated on battlefelds
of the war, amid beautiful scenery.
The establishment of this system was
begun in the second year of the war,
when orders were issued to the army
requiring accurate records to be kept
of all deceased soldiers and their
places of burial, and President Lin
coin was authorized by Congress to
purchase grounds and have them pre-
pared for use as cemeteries for SOL
diers dying in defense of the country.
On the battlefelds where the Union
armies won, the interments were so
conscientiously made that over ninety
per cent. of the dead were afterward
identified. Where time permitted,
the Confederate dead were also scrup-
ulously buried and their graves
marked, In most of the Southern
prisons the Union dead were buried,
and their names recorded by their
living comrades, often under adverse
and trying circumstances, and in
Northern prisons, as at Camp Doug
las, Chicago; at Elmira, N. Y, and at
johnson Island, Ohio, interments of
deceased Confederates were carefully
made and the graves noted for future
identification. In 1868 the first ma
tional cemeteries were established at
Chattanooga, Stone River and Gettys-
burg, and the one in Arlington was
founded in 1864, and the one at An
tietam in 1865. The most beautiful of
all the national cemeteries, and the
greatest as regards the number of
identified dead, is that on Arlington
Heights, overlooking Washington. 1t
contains 1866 interments-l2, ,216
known and 4349 unknown. OF the
national cemeteries at Shiloh and Get
tysburg, the Shiloh metropolis con-
tains 3597 tablets and that at Gettys-
burg just five less. The biggest ma
tional cemetery in point of population
is the Yicksburg, where 16, $50 heroes

An excellent and strength giving
soup for an invalid, which should be
given two or three times day, is made
of chicken and beef. Clean and singe
a chicken, then cut it in pieces as for
fricasseeing; pat it in a deep soup
kettle; add to the chicken an equal
weight of lean beef cut from the
round; tie a carrot, leek, three or
four sprigs of parsley and couple Of
stalks of celery together by winding q
fine string round them, and put them
in the kettle; cover the whole with
cold water to the depth of three inches
and stand the kettle over quick fire.
As the scum rises skim it off till the
water is clear, then stand the kettle
back and let the contents simmer
quietly for four hours; then lift it
from the stove and strain the soup;
let it cool; then take all the fat from
the top, and as the soup is required
heat it little Mt time in q saucepan.
In heating it do not let it boil; only
bring it to the boiling point. New

praise from the northern press for the
unGaimity with which its Senators and
representatives voted fo: the $50, 0o0,-
900 appropriation for National defense.
The South is the most Interesting part
OF this country. It has moro inherent
poetry and romance than all the rest

One of the leading French news
papers, the Paris Eclair, gives some
interesting facts in regard to the in
comes of professional men in France.
There are from -, ZOO to 1000 doc
tors, of whom $500 are found in Paris
and about 10000 in the provinces. OF
this number five or six only make in
comes of from $4,000 to $4,000 o
year, ten to fifteen make from $40, 900
to $50, ZOO year, 100 make, say, S1O,-
900, 800 make from $4,000 to So, 900,
800 make from $500 to $4,000, while
$1,000 earn less than $1,000 a year.
Coming to the lawyers, of whom there
a-e 5000 in Paris alone, there are not
400 of them who make as much as
$4,000 year. A couple of score make
incomes of $4,000 year. 1t appears
that when one of these advocates is
made magistrate his salary is only
from 5000 to $500 year, while for
the justices of peace-all fully quail
fed legal practitioners-the salaries
range from $4OO to 5000 a year. A
college professor is paid from 5000 to
$500 a year, lycee professor from
800 to $1,000 year. The explana-
ton of it all is the very simple eco
nomic one that in France the supply
exceeds the demand; twice as many
doctors, lawyers, professors and en-
sineers are turned out yearly as there
are berths for.

The Grand Army Button.

have heard, writes George F. Stone,
of Chicago, that our Lords prayer has
been inscribed on disc the size of a
dime, but on that Grand Army button
is recorded in ineffaceable and living
characters the history of Grant and
Sherman and Lincoln; of Sheridan and
Thomas and Logan and Custer and
Meade; of Farragut and Porter; the
history of the campaign of the army of
the Potomac, of the Cumberland and
of the west; of the march to the sea
of Shiloh, of Vicksburg; of Forts Henry
and Donaldson; of Atlanta; of the
Wilderness; of Winchester; of Fishers s
Hill and Cedar Greek; of sieges and
battles and skirmish lines; of "days
of danger and nights of waking" of
weary marches by day and by night,
in cold and storm and heat; of parting
of lovers and maidens; of farewells of
husbands and wives; of prayers and
blessings from tireside and camp
ascending ON high as divine incense;
of agony and death in prison and in
hospital; of great captains and heroic
soldiers; of valor on sea and on land;
of the proclamation of Abraham Lin
coin giving freedom to our millions of
a persecuted race and wiping forever
from the national escutcheon, human
slavery; of Gettysburg and Appomat-
tox; of the downfall of rebellion; of
a reunited country and of the perpet-
uity of the Union with its countless
and unspeaka0le and eternal blessing
"a priceless gift from the great Dis
penser of good things unto men!
This record shall never fade away
it shall grow brighter and brighter as
the years go by, scattering sparks OF
inspiration among the generations as
they come and go! And when time
shall be no more, when all things tran
STORY shall have passed away, when
all the sounds of earth have been
stilled, then the bells of heaven shall
ring in commemoration of American
patriotism, and the undying fame oi
the American soldier!

The Bugle.

In q glittering glory of diamond dew,
Where the tall white headstones CLEAN n
arrow,
By the ivied church, Memorial Day,
With sheafs of lilies the mourners 60.
All but one, and she sits alone.
A sad-eyed woman with locks of gray.
And keeps tryst of the vanished years
With the dear, dead lover who marched
away.
Her whitened tresses were brown and bright
Her cheek was pink as a damask rose,
When he clasped her close in n last embrace
Whlle about them futtered the orchard's
SHOWS.
The bugle called in the sunlit morn,
Bayonets glistened, and flags were gay,
He turned to wave her loud adieu-
The brave young lover who marched
away.
To the silent city above the town,
with garlands laden, yet still they pass,
But she seeth only curly head
And broken sword In the trampled grass,
She weaveth wreath of heliotrope,
And heareth even the bugle play
That is mute with rust in tt 9 moldered hand
OF the gallant lover who marched away.
The flowers have fallen about her feet,
Her lips are pale, and her fingers chill,
Far above the blue of the crystal sky
Her spirit follows the bugle still.
Its silvery melody leads her on
IT'LL far in a world of fadeless May,
She plights the troth of her youth again
With the handsome lover who marched
away.
There was never shot that screamed and
fell
And never bayonet thrust went through
The dauntless breast of soldier boy
But it pierced the heart of a woman, too.
From end to end Of the land they sit
By desolate hearths, alone and gray,
And wait for the CHASTITY bugle-call
And the soldier lover who marched away.

The snow came early, and it grew
deeper till midwinter. The cold in
creased till warmth twas near impos-
sible. Christmas was so severe it
drove all merriment away. Stock
shivered at the point of starvation, and
fires seemed to have lost their powers
of heating.
We had heard no more from the
South, but we watched the papers
whenever those lists of exchanges ap-
peared. And at last we saw, while
evergreens were marking yule in
happy homes, that ours-still happier
would soon be blest
Holiday week was the lowest deep
of cold. We watched through frost
coated windows day after day the
snow-choked road to the town. But
the year went out and our shadow had
not lifted.
Just at midnight l heard voices in
the house. Mother and Sin were up
and dressing hprriedly. Bob stulnped
down and shouted as he closed the
door, Above my excitement l remem-
bered ] was cold. Sin heaped wood
on the fire and then followed mother
to the road.
The night was very still and I could
hear them presently. There were words
of encouragement sounds of weeping
Sins shrill falsetto and Bob's loud
! laugh of cheer.
They came through the awful cold at
last-our people and two strange men.
And they propped them about the fire
and warmed them with food and
brought us children out-and the
strangest man there was our father!
And the other was Absalom Fox.
How he managed to quit his service
Inever knew; but quit it he did. And
that polar cold, keeping HIM, encour-
aging him, lying to him a thousand
times to fill the failing limbs with
strength. And then, when his task
was done, he showed how utterly il
: had spent him.
Native of a warmer cline, grateful
to my father for service before cap
tivity began, he had braved the winter
l to pay his debt. And with it he paid
| his debt to nature. For, as the
J spring came, he turned his face to the
= wall and ceased his breathing.
They made him a grave in the ma
} pie woods, where winters chill ant
t springs most generous warming me-
in tide like his noble service, ant
r placed at his head a stone which told
. his soldier record.
