The Unhealthy Oyster.

Every ray at low tide, both members
of the home and others can be seen
gathering oysters that have been
washed on shore by the action of the
tides. The bivales thus secured are
not healthy and unfit for food. The
physicians at Fortress Monroe have,

hidden the men to eat them, that they
contain germs of typhoid etc.
Notwithstanding this. however, the
old men will eat quantities OF them
and eventually become i'll. The healthy
oyster is cheap enough, why then
run the risk Of doping oneself with
the unhealthy article?

The Branch Laundry.

The laundry, what a workshop il is ?
and when il is a second story washery
you can readily comprehend the stu
Iendous labor il requires TO run II,
when a camp OF over two thousand
men are 10 be cared for, and kept
clean in their und garments. Dur
ing a stay in several branches OF
the National Home the writer never
came in contact with laundry that
lowered higher than the first floor, un-
til he observed the one at the Central
and again at the Southern branch.
The laundry is a mecca for which
a member would most desire TO seek
employment The labor lin the one
story laundry is trivial when com
pared with that necessary to make an
early output in a two story building.
AT the Southern branch the machin-
cry is on the second floor, and it be-
comes necessary TO take every piece
that is to be washed to the floor
above. This entails much labor, and
is trying on the old men who perform
the duty. This work however is made
light as possible by Superintendent
Agnew, who, when a rush is on never
fails to lend hand in counting, sep
Grating and loading the old elevator.
This latter is a big square box con-
Germ. and must be manipulated by
ropes from two pair of semi-strong
arms. This pull altogether generally
furnishes a goodly lot OF splinters TO
those whose duty ii is TO hoist and
lower the carryall. Aside from this
however. the work is congenial and it
is a fact that there could not posi-
lily be a body of twenty old bucks
working together that gets on more
tremendously than the working force
of the branch laundry.
Superintendent Agnew is always on
the alert, pays personal attention TO
details, is a thorough master in all
that pertains 10 a successful manage
ment of so vast an industry. His help
mate, Mr.. William Casey, New York
boy of the old type, is way up in the
band wagon in the work, he has in
hand and his chief speaks well of him.
His department on the first floor is tat
tooed with pigeon ohle boxes, and
notwithstanding they are many, Casey
has each at his finger end to place
there in garments, etc, belonging TO
any company or department in camp.
He is gentle, good natured, and not
glow 20 do and oblige.
The general public will be astound-
ed TO learn of the terrific output of
this adjunct. Each week between
twelve and thirteen thousand pieces
are received, counted, washed and de-
livered. OF these all sheets, pillow
cases, all hospital pieces, mess hail
jackets. aprons, caps, ETC.. are ironed,
or in other words put through the
mangle. At this season all blankets
in use in barracks are washed. The
aggregate of this item alone will reach
upwards of 5000 pieces The mangle
is an up-to-date machine and requires
four men to run it. two to feed and a
like number to take from it, and fold
the pieces.

in soliciting subscriptions, as chair
man OF a committee TO buy monu-
ment to be erected on the battlefield
of Antietam in honor of the position
held by the brigade in that bloody
fight. General James G. Lynch who
entered the service in August, 1861, as
first lieutenant of company A. lO6th
Pennsylvania Infantry, and rose by
degrees for gallantry in action to col
