Some of the Northern Nurses
 Of War Between the States

When Louisa M Alcott, the writer or famous books, was thirty years old she decided to go into the war, then fasias' as a nurse. Her experiences seemed eo touch a vein of humor In her nature, ana her book, Hospital Sketches was criu- cised for a spirit of leyity. Since the war and In the present generation this IS oh- set by another complaint that the sketches are too sad, and book dealers complain that in making up sets of her books these are left out. being too painful reading for children. She certainly had given both sides of the situation. the pathetic and the ridiculous, as when she says on leaving the army life after battle Of her own with typhoid, $10 and wig" that If she could not lay her hand on the altar of her country she left her hair. She was not dominated by the dark side of life in the hospital. It has been said that her senti- ment and religion were the prevailing infiu- ences in the hospital, but Miss Alcott in- troduced new element, spirit of fun and entertainment. While she off1ciated as hos- pital scribe for the wounded soldiers she did not hesitate to compare some of the letters to those of Ensign Spooney as de- scribed by Thackeray when the ensign wrote to his mother before the battle of Waterloo, full of affection, pluck and bad spelling"
  was the first woman to be appointed by the government, in 1861, superintendent of the nurses, and the first to bring order out of disorder. Washington was a great camp, and all was confusion when she was made executive head of the hospital work. She had offered her services in the, name of philanthropy, and never drew a salary or received government pay. But the man. ner in which she nursed some soldiers wounded in a Baltimore riot called the at tentfon of Secretary Cameron, then at the head Of the war department, to her ability. All the nurses paid by the government were selected by Miss Dix, who made good health and good morals the basis for preferment That time has changed the order of things may be inferred from the difference be- tween the nurse of that day and the pros pective nurse of this. Then a woman must be mature in years, plain in her personal appearance and homely in dress absolutely without adornment. This was the stand ard Miss Dix established, and the only nurses who wore uniforms were the Sisters of Charity. Mother Bickerdyke was long remembered by the soldiers for her calico gowns, which were continually catching fire from the sparks in the air, so that it became one of the orders of the day to put Mother Bickerdyke out" These same gowns were torn into shreds while still in wear to staunch some sudden wound or bind a broken arm. No doubt new un- form, unlike any now in use, will be de- signed if nurses are again needed The fact that nursing is now science will also be demonstrated, and all confusion and delay will be avoided by organization.

The Seventh Congressional

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The announcement that Col. Amos E. Goodhue will make the race against Col. W. H. Denison, for the democratic con- gress.onal nomination in the seventh dis trict. asures a lively contest inside the par ty lines and vigorous opponent for the populist nominee in the general election in November. Col. Goodhue has always been an active party worker, but has not sought honors save for his friends. This will doubt less assist him in the present contest as he has levied many political obligations by his trieless energy in behalf of his friends and party associates
