Interesting Relic.

While attending the national encamp-
ment of the c. A. r. at Minneapolis, A
A. Dickson secured from another old
soldier a copy of The Daily Citizen, pub
lished at Vicksburg, Miss, and dated
July 3, 1868. Oowing to the scarcity
of print paper, the edition was printed
on the back side of wall paper. There
is but one page, and it is filled with
war news The paper is valuable
relic.

A GIFT TO AMERICA.
y

A few years ago whenI was in the
seventh grade, my teacher told the
class to draw map Of North America
and hand it to her the next morning.
AS I was busy with something else
did not hear exactly what she said, SO
I asked her, but she refused to tell it
more than once. At recess asked one
of my friends and she told me that we
were to draw the map of Europe. But
I had heard the words "North
America and not knowing which was
right [ was still in a quandary. When
half past three came I hurried home as
fast as I could so that [ could finish
my map. In a short time it was done.,
It looked rather queer to me, but /
thought it could not be wrong, after
all the work I had put on it.. The next
morning when I laid the drawing on
the teacher s desk she looked at it for
fully five minutes. Then she called
me to her, opened her geography and
showed me the maps. To my surprise,
I found that I had drawn the map Of
North America and put in the cities
that belonged in Europe. But she told
me that it was good-considering.
