The following paragraph goes to prove that "the war is over" with some of the brave fellows who bore the brunt of battle at least. A dis patch from Columbus, Ohio, says : "The local battalion lot the Four teenth rbgiment, Ohio National Guard will to-day decorate thd groves of the 2.68S Confederate soldjers who died in prison at Columbus during the war and are buried on the site of Camp Chase, west of the city. This will ,be the first time it has been done, and it is the result of the cordi il re ception given the regiment while in camp on the Chickamaugoi battlefield last fall by the Southern people and particularly by; the former Confeder ate soldiers." In the South it has been customa ry in many places to decorate the. graves of Federal soldiers the scat tering dead who lie buried 'in private cemeteries of each memorial day when the graves of Cpnfedorate sol diers were strewn with! flowers.

It is a piece of flag that Columbus raised at San Salvador when he land ed" on the newly discovered conti nent of America and took "possession of it in the name of Spain. This flae has been long preserved by the Span ish government, and was j sent to the World's Fair along; with so hie other relics from - La Rabida convent. The flag was much decayed, and in un packing it at Chicago, a piece of it tell off. A ; piece of that piece was secured by Capt.-'. Robert Vander- gotz of the U. S. -4rmy who through the influence of Rev. A. J. Parker, ol Wiiliamston, N- C, presented it to the Society. It; is so very much , .decayed that it isjkept under glass. J.

A writer in the Chicago Tribune quotes f rem an anqient volume of ghost lore published in 1729 the fol lowing 'Story "of the late Kev. Dr. Scott, a man "whose learning and piety were eminent and whose judg ment "was known to be so good as not to bo easily imposed upon. The story is an .old one, but there are marvelous stories very much olcler j which are readily "believed: iT '"Tho doctor, as I havo tho story re lated, -was sitting alone by the fire, either, in his study or bis parlor, in. Bread street, where he lived, reading a heck, ' his door "being shut and locked. He "was well! assured, there was no cno' in the room hut himself, whehj accidentally raising his head a little, he was exceedingly surprised to see sitting in an elbow chair' at tho other side of Aho fireplace or chimney an ancient, grave gentle man in a black velvet gown, a Icing wig and .locking with countenance toward hi r i CURES ALL 5 KIN AND BLDDD DISEASES.

The people in the lunchroom of the Astor House -were treated to an amusing scene by a ragged, urchin and a Vv hole hearted citizen from the "west, Vvho was looking after him. The diners learned from the "west erner's conversation that ho had ar rived in Jersey City arid the little fellow had carried his gripsack. The man had been drinking, and' the iittlo fellow was so "badly scared that ho hardly knew what to do. He had confided to the westerner that he was hungry, and the man had told him to como in and. get something to eat. He followed his benefactor inside and timidly crawled up on one of tho high stools. Tho man from tho west stood up at tho bar and drank frequent potation's, mak ing comments; upon tho hoy's appe tite as he ate his meal. . The littlo fellow locked at tho well dressed man'and then glanced at his own ragged jacket. He jerked his h at cfi 1 awkwardly and tried to put it in his pocket. Failing in this, he finaIhT -ccmprcmised, after. much fumhling, hy tucking it away scme where within the mysterious con fines of his ragged shirt. : Then he looked : at his grimy , hands and shoved them deep into his pockets.

' . K , "In an upper ropm or loft, " con tinues Mr. Moreton, describing hat the ''spook" told the doctor, ''he would find a! great deal of old lum ber, old ccfiers, old chests, and such things as were out Of fashion now, Ladies whose sr;tem ara poisone J and whcx blood I ta an ttr.Tnr cona:tioa. tao to menFtrasI frroinilint'et, r He watched with owllike gravity the white aproned attendant place the glistening rotates and shining knife and fork in front of him. Finally a bowl of steaming soup was placed in front of him, and the sight of it thawed his reserve. He made an onslaught that made it disappear rapidly.

In his address betore the graduat ing class of the A. & M. College, Dr. Mclver urged the boys to be good citizens and said the best definition he had ever seen of the term "ideal citizen"" was given by a young wo man of the State Normal and Indus trial School and was as follows : "It is a man who works, who earns his own support and the support ot those dependent upon him, who pays his taxes cheerfully, who obeys the laws of his State and country, and studies these laws in order, to help improve them. He must love his country, and be willing to give his life for it, it need b'e, in time of war, and, in time of peace, he must not object if he is called upon occasionally to give a quarter for a torch- lieht procession or a free barbecueJ" Salisbury Her ald. "Go on, little chap. You eat all you want. I likes to see a youngster like you eat ajl ho wants." The urchin grinned, i 'Aen a plate of chops was placed in front of him. He grabbed' one by the bone and in the twinkling of an eye had gulped down all the meat on it. Another went the same way. When he had finished, he wiped his hands on his trousers, rubbed the ' back - of his hand across his mouth and fished the butt of a cigar from the pocket of his coat. He gravely watched his benefactor take the check and pay it. When he saw the amount, he said disgustedly: , , "Say, youse," pointing to the cashier, "any mug kin get a feed like dat down on West street fer 15 cents." 7 ' : , ' Then ho fished a match out of an other pocket and, taking a proffered dime fromtbe western man, said nonchalantly "T'ank ye, boss. Dat was a bang up reed even if it did cost a plunk. " New York Tribune. , - Olive Oil. The bright and limpid appearance of the best olive oil is secured by repeatedly- passing it through layers of carded cotton wool as a filter. The clarified oil of Italy is then, until bottled or sold in bulk, kept in cold storage, in masonry tanks lined with b,ard ,marble and covered. Those who use much oil and have a cold, dark place in which to keep it, find it economical to buy a good brand of toil in gallon packages. It can bo drawn off into quart or pint bottles for convenient use and also so that the large quantity may Dot be ex posed too frequently to the air.

" Hero ho gave him a particular description of the chest and of the outside,' the lock and the cover, and also of the inside, and of a rjlace.in it which no man could come to or find out unless the whole chest was pulled' in pieces. - Dr. Scott promised to go down to tho country place and kept his promise.- He was received courteously, and not only that, but was informed had 1 dreamed the night before that a strange gentleman ' Came to j' the: house and found the missing will. "I don't know but you may be the man," he said in conclusion.; vThe doctor smiled and asked to be di rected to a certain loft which j was used for the storage of rubbish. Once here, he picked out a chest and asked if they had searched therein. They told .. him they had, but he asked to have i searched again. Nothing was found therein, when the doctor asked to; have a hammer and chisel, which articles he used for the purpose of knocking out the bottom,' when they found it had a double bottom, between-; the layers of which was found the parch ment will.
