LETTER FROM Mr.. C0VINGTON.
StevensburR. Va. Aug. !

was told a few days ago a mule
would make friends with you thirteen
years 10 get one chance to kick at you.
Well, am recovering more rapidly
than | expected.
am still looking up Confederate
rolls and went one mile below German
ia Ford to see fellow and there
stood where a Yankee was on picket
in 1863 and on the other side When
| went to relieve our picket he was
gone to the Yankees. We were look
ing for him and the Yankee told us he
was over there and 81 come. too
waved my sabre at him and told him
to come over to US. He did not dc
so, and | thought that the last of il,
but not so. In one Of our engagements
below Petersburg we captured the fel-
low who went over 10 the Yankees and
my evidence and that Of George
Wright, who was the corporal Of the
post, caused him to be shot. I've al
ways felt sad about it.
Some Of our neighbOrs who claim to
be intelligent are always complaining
about the weather. 1t being too hot
or too cold or too wet or too dry. God
will punish them for it just as certain
as they live. He holds the reins to all
things and it is not for US to complain,
but submit with Christian fortitude.
One week ago some one went to DR..
Hatcher at Rapidan and asked him to
pray for rain. He refused positively
to do so, saying God knows best what
to do for us.
You just ought to see our fine new
road from here to Brandy. Go in an
automobile, buggy or road wagon and
you would enjoy it.
Some many girls are in this section
and so few boys. Can't you spare a
few to be sweethearts for the girls?
As I've said before Virginia has 10,
600 more females than males and Mas
sachusetts 300, 900 more. Yet in South
Dakota there are nearly twice as many
men as women. hear from there
quite often. | left many friends there
and have many in Virginia, and enc
mics, too.

MaSks Of me Marauosans

The AIarquesans OF generation ago
were the most completely and artist
cally tattOoed people in the Pacific, and
the practice Of tattooing Is carried ON
among them to certain extent today.
The really fine pieces Of work, how
ever, such as the famous right leg of
the late Queen Vaekehu OF Nukahiva,
are confined entirely to the very old.
and. what with wrinkles. deformlties
and the wear and tear OF time, these
have lost most OF their original sharp
ness OF color and outline. None OF the
new. generation appears to have the
fortitude to endure the exquisite pain
incident to having a whole limb picked
out In a lacework Of geometric design
or the face barred and circled like a
coarse spiders web. Women are rare
ly tattooed at al now. and most Of
the young men are satisfied with a
broad band Of solid black. not unlike a
highwayman's mask. which reaches
across the face from ear to ear, giving
TO their never overmild looking eoun-
tenances an expression OF amazing f.
rocity. Lewis r. Freeman IN New
