The following poem was read by Mr. Edwin Marks, at the recent unveiling of the statue of Stonewall Jackson, in New Orleans: Comrades, haltl The field is chosen, 'Neath the skies of Southern May, Where the Southern roses ripen, We will bivouac to day. Here no foe will draw our sabres In the turbulence of war, Nor will drum beat, nor will bugle Wake the old pain in a scar. All is rest, and calm around us Beauty's smile and manhood's prime; Scents of spring, like ships, go sailing Balmy seas of summer time. Flags of battle, hanging yonder, Flutter not at strife's Increase; On their pulses lie the fingers Of the Great; Physician Peace. In the marble camp before us, Silence paces to and fro Spectre of the din of battles Hard fought In the long ago. While he marches, from the meadows, O'er the heights, around the curves, Come the men of many combats Death's Grand Army of Reserves. In the swift advancing columns Many a battle-blazoned name, With Stewart, Ewell, Hays and Ashby, Bears the honor cross of Fame. Down the spectral line It flashes Glorious symbol of reward Won when all the world was looking Unto Lee and Beauregard. From the war graves of Manassas, Fredericksburg and Malvern Hill, Carrlck's Ford and Massanutton, Fast the shadowy legions fill ; From the far-off Rappahannock, From the red fields of Cross Keys; Gettysburg the Wildernesses From defeats ana victories. Tired trooper weary marcher Grim and sturdy cannoneer Veteran gray, and slender stripling, Hasten to encamp them here.

Philadelphia Telegraph. Private letters from Florence report that the most famous inhabitant of the foreign colony in that city, namely Ouida, is beginning to look her age, which must by this time ba on the shady side of 40. She has cut her hair short that "amber hair" of which she was once so proud, and which she used to wear in a loose mane down her back, though elaborately coiffed in front Its amber is alloyed with silver now, I hear. The famous novelist drives about Florence in a lofty drag, holding the reins herself and driving with such recklessness and lack of due precaution that she lately ran her steeds straight into a baby wagon. In olden days she used to go about Florence on foot, accompanied by a trainf fourteen dogs of variqus di mensions that kept their mistress fully employed in settling their quarrels and in keeping them out of mischief. The canine train is now diminished to some two or three individuals, but as may be seen in her reeent novels, Ouida is still very iona or aogs. "imperator , in friendship and "Loris" in Moths, were drawn from two of her recent canine favorites. Her weekly receptions are always enlivened by the presence of two or three of her does, which like spoiled children, absorb far more than their share of notice, both from the hostess and her visitors. One of Ouida's countrymen recently called on her by permission, being guite proud of being allowed to pay lus re spects in person to so famous a literary woman. He returned to the hotel at which he was staying not altogether charmed with his visit. "Well, what did you do at Ouida's ?" queried one of his lady friends. "I fed ner dog with buns. And what did she say fwnat did she do?" "Nothing; she fed the dog, too." So the interview seemed to have worn a wholly canine and bunny aspect. . ...:.) : I ...! ; ji For the discovery of the Manufacturer, Dealer, Agent or Piano Pirate, North or South in America or Jiiurope, wno sens rename inanos ana Urgans cneaper than they can be bought from us.

Boarding house brilliancy: "Sweets to the sweet," said the funny young man, as he handed the waiter girl a faded bouquet. "Beets to the beat," returned the girl, as she pushed him a plate of the vegetables. Detroit Chan. A cruel miss: "There's my hand!" he exclaimed In a moment of courage and candor, "and my heart Is In it" She glanoed at the empty palm extended toward her, and wickedly replied: "Just as I supposed; you've got no heart" Brooklyn Eagle. A gentleman espying a number of mischievous little rogues In the act of carrying oft a quantity of fruit from his orchard, without "leave or license," bawled out, very lustily, "What are you about, you rascals?" "About going," said one, as he seized his hat and scampered off. "I desire," said the husband to the wife, as they were walking along the shore, "that when I die I may be burled In a plain, stained pine coffin, with out expensive trimmings." "But, my dear," said she, "how much more respectable and fashion--able it would be to have black walnut and sliver." "Possibly," he said, "but I was thinking of that for you." A celebrated German physician has advocated a nnw thenrv. and that is that all food should be eaten raw, instead of being cooked; and he claims that ii his instructions are carrieu oui, aiiu okku. and vegetables are eaten In their natural state, there will be no more sickness, and people will die of old age Instead of disease. The thing looks feasible, but we should like to see the German doctor try his own theory en bologna sausage, and have to catch his dog. Fortune's Freaks, It was a remarkable conincidence that at the moment the imposiDg cere monies connected with the raising of a monument to Gen. Morgan at Spartah hiiri? were in Drosress, an unsueessful annoalin behalf of his destitute great- granddaughter was made to a cabinet omcer oy a justice 01 tue oupteuio Court. Miss Minnie Heard, the young, lady in question, highly educated and refined, with a mother and sick sister dependent on her, has managed by a few scanty dollars picked up here and there by teaching, barely to keep the wolf from the door. Latterly she has had but one pupil, the daughter of a justice of the Supreme Court. His svmnar.hips were enlisted in ber. be half, and he secured her more profitable employment, but only of a temporary nature, and the young lady is now without any income. On the day of the unveiling of the Morgan statue he went to the Treasury Department and made an earnest appeal to Secretary Windom to give her a position, out trie secretary said that he was unable to do anything for her. The President will h nnrfilp,d to in her behalf, and it is sincerely to be hoped that he will respond.

What Postmaster-General James has Saved The following is a statement in de tail ot the net annual saving in . the' cost of star route and steamboat mail service under the administration, ol PostmasterGeneral James: For the month of March, $215,490 ; for th month of April. $84,531 : for the month of May 1 to 13, $112,013; total, $412,084. This saving has been effected without in any way crippling the service or cur tailing its efficiency, and has been male on exact information gathered irv in spectors of the department, who nave ftarefuliv examined the various routes. Much of the reduction is the result of the labors of the commission sent to Memphis to investigate the river service ramifying from that point. A very considerable additional reduction wm be made on the 30th of; June next, when useless service will be allowed to lapse, tjtius saving the one month's extra pay which would be due to con tractors were the service to be discon tinued at present A Good Place to Live.

Col. R. G. Ingersoll thus powerfully arraigns King Alcohol: "I am aware that there is a prejudice against any man engaged in the manu facture or sale of alcohol. I believe that from the time it issues from the coiled and poisonous worm in the dis tillery until it empties into hell of death, dishonor and crime, that it de moralizes everybody that touches it, from its source to where it ends. I do not believe that anybody can contem plate the subject without becoming prejudiced against that liquor crime. All we have to do is to think of the wrecks on either bank of the stream of death, the destitution of the little children tearing at the weary and faded breasts of weeping and despairing wives, asking for bread. Of the sui cides, of the insanity, of the ignorance and poverty that it has produced, the talented men of genius that it has de stroyed, the men battling with imagi nary serpents, produced by this devil ish thing, and when we think of the iails. the almshouses, the asvlums, of the prisons, or tne scaneias upon eitner bank, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is prejudiced against this damned stuff that is called alco hol. "Intemperance cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood in its strength, and age in its weakness. It breaks the fond father's heart, bereaves the loving mother, extinguishes natural affections, erases conjugal love, blots out fiilial at tachments, blights parental hope, and .brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness, not strength; sickness, not health; death, not life. It makes wives wid ows, children orphans, fathers fiends, and all of them paupers and beggars. It feeds rheumatism, nurses gout, wel comes epidemics, invites cholera, im ports pestilence, and embraces con sumption. It fills your jails, supplies your almshouses and demands your asylums. It engenders controversies, fosters auarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds the penitentiaries and furnishes victims for the scaffolds. It is the life blood of the gambler, the elements of the burglar, the prop of the highway man, and the support of the assassin and midnight incendiary. It counte nances the liar, respects the thief and esteems the blasphemer. It violates obligations, reverences fraud, honors infamy, defames benevolence, hates love, scorns virtue, and slanders inno cence. It incites the father to butch er his helpless offspring, helps the hus band tb massacre his wife and the child to grind the parricidal axe. It burns up men, consumes women," detests life, curses God and despises heaven. ,It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury, de files the jury box, and stains the ju dicial efmiUe. It degrades the citizen, debases the legislator, dishonors the statesman and disarms the- patriot. ; It brings shame, not honor r terror, not safety; despair, not hope; misery, not happiness; and, with the malevo lence of a fiend, it calmly surveys its frightful desolation, and dissatisfied with its havoc, ruins morals, blights confidence, dissolves f riendshipslays reputation, wipes out national honor and curses .the world, then laughs at the ruin it has accomplished. "It does all this and more it kills the soul. It is the sum of villainies the father of all crimes, the mother of abominations,' the devil's best friend and God's worst enemy.", OUR $12.50 AND $15.00 BUSINESS SUITS Are the best in the State for the money.
