The lovers of heartrending, tear
bringing melo-drama would doubtless
welcome a play based on the tragedy
enacted in culpeper county, Virginia,
when James and Philip Strother took
the life of William Bywaters for the
ruin and attempted desertion OF their
sister. Bywaters was hunter and
horseman. Viola Strother was con.
fiding girl, her brothers were men
who sometimes carried reyolvers for
their personal safety" To weave the
plot as the testimony in the case
would warrant would make one of the
most pathetic stories ever written.
The lonely wait of the girl at a res.
taurant at the city of Washington
while Bywaters was supposed to be
after his mali, the anxiety he felt for
his own name, bat his utter disregard
for the girls feelings would easily

Cobaea Scandens.

1t is too late tor this year, but when

start, very liable to rot in the ground
unless carefully placed on edge when
put in the ground The following ac-
count Of the vine is taken from Parks

comes a favOrite when its beauty is
known, as the following interesting let

the Grand Army of the Republic General
Logan's order reads:
Headquarters Grand Army of the Re-
public,
Washington, D. c., May 5, 1868.
General Orders, No. II.
L The 30th day of May, 1868, is desig-
mated for the purpose of strewing with
flowers or otherwise decorating the graves
OF comrades who died in defense of their
country during the late rebellion, and
whose bodies lie in almost every city, viii
lage and hamlet in the land. In this OBJ
servance no form of ceremony is pre-
scrlbed, but posts and comrades will in
their own way arrange such fitting ser
vices and testimonials of respect as cir
cumstances may permit. We are organ
ized. comrades, as our regulations tell
us, Tor the purpose, among other things,
of preserving and Strengthening those
kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together the soldiers sailors and
marines who united to suppress the late
reDelllon. What can aid more to assure
this result than by cherishing tenderly
the memory of our heroic dead, who made
their breasts a barricade between our
country and its foes? Their soldier lives
were the reveille of freedom to a race
in chains, and their deaths the tattoo of
rebellfous tyranny in arms. We should
guard their graves with sacred vigilance.
All that the cOnSecrated wealth and taste
of the nation can add to their adOrnment
and security is but fitting tribute to the
memory of her slain defenders. Let no
wanton foot tread rudely on such hal
lowed grounds. Let pleasant paths invite
the coming and going of reverent Wis
itors and fond mOurnerS. Let no vandal-
ism or avariee or neglect, no ravages of
time, testify to the present or to the COM
ing generations that we have forgotten as
a people the cost of free and undivided
republic.
IF other eyes grow dun and. other
hands slack, and other hearts cold in the
solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as
long as the light and warmth of life re-
main to US
Let us, then. at the time appointed
gather around their sacred remains and
garland the passionless mounds above
them with the choicest flowers of spring
time; let us raise above them the dear old
flag they saved from dishonor; let us in
this solemn presence renew our pledges
to aid and assist those whom they have
left among u.s. a sacred charge upon ma
TONS gratitude-the soldiers and sailor
widow and orphan.
III 1t is the purpose of the commander
in chief to inaugurate this observance
with the hope that it will be kept up
from year to year while survivor of the
war remains to honor the memory of his
departed comrades. He earnestly desires
the public press to call attention to this
order, and lend it's friendly aid in bring
ing it to the notice of comrades in all
parts of the country in time for stimuli
taneous compliance Herewith.
Ill Department commanders will use
every effort to make this order effective.
