ably be the finest geological garden in

A wicked Editor.

An editor who died of starvation was
being escorted to heaven by an angel
who had been sent for that purpose.

So they went below and skirmished
around taking in the sights. The angel
lost track of the editor and went
around Hades to hunt him up. He
found him by big furnace tanning

a sign on the furnace which read, "De-

THE RETURN TRIUMPHANT.

OF the landing Of the Seventy-first
New York at Point Montauk on their
eturn from New York the Sun Of Au-
gust 18th says:
Il is no exaggeration to say that the
most miserable looking men that have
come to camp yet are these men OF the
seyenty-first. They are literally in tat
ter.. and nearly half Of the men stag
qered along the road as they marched to
their camp, staring blankly ahead, and
psvipe no attention to the shouts that
greeted them. The condition of the men
was pitiable. What clothing they had
was tied to their emaciated bodies with
ropes and pieces of string. and tears were
streaminQ down the eyes Of some OF
them. The Seventy.irst men bear the
marks OF their terrible experiences all
over them, and if ever band Of heroes
deserved Q welcome home. it was those
who came to-day, and they got ID. On
the march up the hill man after man
tainted away, and had to be taken the
balance of the way in ambulances or
army wagons. Private Engelke OF Com.
psny was one of those who fell before
the men had marched 100 yards. Three
times after he had collapsed poor En-
gelke attempted to get up, but each
time his legs refused to raise bis body.
