COLD WEATHER GIRLS.

COLD WEATHER GIRLS.
It's nice to meet,
In store or street,
A pretty girl, wha,e'er the weather.
Her smile SO sweet,
Her form petite,
Induce the man to wonder whether
The tabled days
OF elves and fays
Have passed or still are here among us.
The illusion stays,
Though many ways
Some other maiden may have strung u.s.
But yet
IT'S the frosty morning beauty as to
which now would speak
When each blessed, blooming maiden has
rose in either cheek.
Her eyes a-gleam,
Her breath a-steam,
Her lips as red as finest coral:
Her face a dream
OF peach and cream,
Such rawlings can't be quite immoral.
Her form erect,
Air circumspect,
And yet she's flesh and blood. they tell US!
You'd not suspect
The least defect;
Her clinging neck furs make you jealous.
All, yes.
IT'S the frosty morning beauty in whose
praise fam would speak,
When each blessed blooming maiden
wears q rose in either cheek.

and well to do citizen OF that city, IN
formed me that he had come into the
possession of Confederate sword, the
blade of which was considered a superior
quality of steel. 1t Is engraved on one
side &C. A. Caho." on the other side V.
s. A." 1t is finely engraved with figures.
leaves and stars from one end of the
blade to the other. 1t Is possible thai
the former owner or his descenaenls
would be pleased to recover this relic OF
1881. 80. and Mr.. Gaige has generously Of
fered TO restore It to the proper person
IL they are now living.
He is of the impression that the sword
came from Charleston, South Carolina
some three or four years ago. with other
Confederate relics OF this character.
Possibly notice OF this IN your Con-
federate Columns would result IN restor-
Ing this handsome blade to Its former
owner or his relatives.
Very truly yours,

so young that the military officers re-
fused at first to accept him, but ne felt
that he must follow the banner OF the
glorious Fifty-ffth, and BIO it snf1 to his
credit lie finally succeeded through the
influence OF some of the prominent mem
following battles: 'Mechanicsville."5
""Gainess MIL" ''Frazier's Farm, NAL

After the seven days fight In front Of
Richmond. his regiment then In General
Fields Division was attached to the
command OF the immortal Stonewall
Jackson. and on August 25th, 1862, young
Clarkson was mortally wounded while
his regiment was holding and CALAMITY

dan.
When decoration day comes. and the
flowers are blooming, | know the good
people Of Virginia will remember their
beloved dead who died upon the field OF
battle, and / feel they will also remember
him who died more than 100 miles away
from his Missouri home while fighting
on the soil Of the dear old Mother State

On many battlefield
with agile step and cheek so rudy.
He accepted the soldiers part;
So young, to relinqulsh every study
Dear to his sangulne heart.
He was borne away from the banks OF

The Amazon River.

Editor OF The Times. Dispatch:
sir.-Please answer through your query
and answer column the question as to
whether or not the water OF the Amazon
River Is fresh several miles out in the
ocean, and obige
A SUBSCRIBER.
The River Amazon is the largest river
OF the globe in volume. and probably In
area OF territory drained. The Misss-
sippi, by Its main tributary. the Missouri.
is longer by about 800 miles. The Amazon
Is ten miles wide at thrty-fve miles
above It's main mouth at Para. where It
is sl2 feet In depth. 80 vast is the vol-
ume OF water which 1t pours into the At.
lantic. and so great the violence OF Its
current that It's waters are said to re-
main unmixed with those OF the ocean
for a distance OF more than zoo miles
from the coast
River water is lighter than sea water
and must rise as 1t progresses seaward,
IL 1t does not mingle; 1t must spread,
fan-like. with decreasing depth. and be
very thin at 200 miles from Para, though
many miles in width.
This phenomena OF fresh water stream
flowing through sea water Is seen at
the mouth OF the Mississippi for miles
out in the Gulf OF Mexico. marked BY the
sediment the fresh water causes.

LEE AND JACKSON.


Anent the Lee and Jackson birthday
celebration, let me say that history does
not record two more congenial warriors
than Generals Robert L. Lee and Stone
wall Jackson. These gallant and accom-
pllshed Christian soldiers were bound to-
gether by ties of love and affection.
There was never lack OF confidence
shown by either, towards the other. AZ
ter General Jackson was wounded at
charlottesville, Lee wrote him as fol-
lows: General, have Just received
your note, Informing me that YOU were
wounded cannot express my regret at
the occrrancc. Could have directed

| good OF the country to be disabled IN

victory, which Is due to your skill and
energy
Very respectfully, your obedIent servant,
r. r. LEE, General"
Such was the tribute paid Jackson
by this grnndest Of men, When this note
was read 10 General Jackson his reply
Il to his nide-de-camp was: General Lee
is very kind, but he should give the

John Taylor was OF the firm OF
