' In our beautiful cemetery , of Holly wood there are buried 0,800 con federate soldiers, besides a large number brought from Gettysburg several years after the War. We have a record show ing the names, states, commands "and dates of death of 8,178. , Of this number the record shows that 1,854 were soldiers from Geciia. AH the graves are marked by wooden pegs with tin , pieces nailed across the top, on which are numbers corresponding to names on the' above mentioned record, thus enabling persons to identify the graves of their mends. These wooden pegs sre now fast rotting away, and the tin pieces containing the numbers are beginning to come off and be lost. We most earnestly desire to re-, place these unsubstantial - head-pieces witn granite Diodes, saving the numbers cut in the stone. By this means we will be enabled to secure identification of the graves for all time. The work, however, must be done at once or not at all, u a year or two more will see the last of the old wooden pegs rotted to the ground. We need three thousand dollars to do it Can you suggest any way by which we could get help f iom the people of Georgia for mark ing oi tne graves in the section devoted to their dead f Any help, however small, will be crratefully received, and unless we do receive help from outside, we will have to abandon the effort, a our own funds will hardly suffice to keep the giounds in order.

Tbe crown prince conducted the queen to an open carriage, drawn by four horses. which she entered ana witn tne empress beside her was driven to the castle. Crowds of people lined the route and cheered enthusiastically as tbe carriage passed. The queen paid a visit to the emperor shortly after her arrival at the castle. Tho doctors feared that the mMtiner would excite the emperor and nrobablv VDsct him. but their fears were groundless. The emperor seemed rather brighter after holding tho interview, and his temperature 'wu normal. It if repotted that the reason why Queen Victoria hu not visited Berlin or even nataed tbrouch Prussian territory since her accession to tho throne is, that Prince Albert wu slichted when, shortly after bis betrothal, he paid a vis t to the king of Prussia. He expected to be treated as a prospective king of England, but wu moitifled to find that he wu a i l ro- irarded u a plain Duke of Coburir-Gotha and u-imed a place among tba petty princeling witn wmcn tne rrusst court then swarmed.
