It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarni
.ing, spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different sec
tions of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after layer
of paper on a wall, using common
flour paste, is especially calculated to
create homes for disease germs. Peo
ple could not do more to effect such a
result if thoy tried. The rotting vege
table matter affords caves from which
are ready to dart forth the Infection
at every opportunity. There Is no ex
cuse for this practice, as walls and
ceilings can be coated with a pure,
cleanly and sanitary material like Ala
bastine, for instance, at no greater ex
pense. Alabastine is a rock-base
cement, which incorporates itself with
the wall or ceiling. It is easily an
plied, comes ready to mix with cold
water, requires no washing or scrap
ing before renewing or retinting, is
beautiful, long-lasting and safe.
For walla that have been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as a
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit
able. As to the value of conversions, God
alone can judge. Goethe.

The Girl 1 Left Behlad.
(Old Favorite Series.)
Tills inr. both air and words, is of
Irish origin, and is thought to have been
written, an herewith given, about the
middle of the last century or perhaps ear
lier, for it purports to be the expression
of a Jacobite soldier of fortune.
The dames of France are fond and free.
And Flemish lips are willing.
And soft the maids of Italy.
And Spanish eyes are thrilMng:
Still, though I bask beneath Un-ir smile.
Their charms fail to bind me.
And my heart fall's back to Erin's isle.
To the girl I left behind me.
For she's as fair as Shannon's s'.Ue,
And purer than Its water:
But she refused to be my b'hle.
Though many a year I sought her;
Yet since to France I Exiled away.
Her letters oft remind me
That 1 promise nevor to gainsay
The girl I left behind me.
She says. "My own dear love, come
home.
My friends are rich and many.
Or else abroad with you I'll loam,
A soldier stout as any:
If you'll not come, nor let me go.
I'll think you have vesigned jne.
My heart near broke when I answered
To the gfrl I left behind me.
For never shall my true love brave
A life of war and toiling.
And never as a skulking slave
I'll tread my native soli on:
But weic I free, or to be freed.
The battle's close would find me
To Ireland bound, nor message need
From the girl I left behind me.
iTlie air was transplanted to England,
and soon became one of the standard
tunes In the British naval and military
service. For over a century it has been a
custom, almost invariably followed, for
the bands to play it when the troops
break camp or warships ssail away. There
are several forms of the English verslon.J
I'm loneome since I crossed the hills.
And o'er the moorland sedgy.
Such heaviness my bosom fill.
Since parting with my Betsy.
I seek for one as fair and gay.
But find none to remind me.
How blest the hours pased away
With the girl I left behind me.
The hour I remember well.
When she first owned she loved me,
A pain within my heart doth tell
irow constant I have proved me;
But now I'm bound for Brighton camp.
Kind heaven then pray guide me.
And send me home safe back again
To the girl I left behind me.
My mind her image mus-t retain.
Asleep or sadly waking:
1 long to see my love again.
For her my heait is breaking.
Whene'er my steps return that way.
Still faithful shall she find me.
And never more again I'll stray
From the girl I left behind me.

Lee's Farewell.
In an account of the preparation of
Gen. Lee's farewell address, given by
Ii'm some ten or twelve years ago. Col.
Marshall says that on returning from
the McLean home, where the terms of
surrender were arranged. Gen. Lee di
rected him to prepare a general order
to the army appropriate to the occa
sion. "During the rest of the day."
said the colonel. "I was so con3tantly
occupied with details that I had no
time to write the order, so that the
next morning when the general called
for it it was not prepared. He then
directed me to get into his ambulance,
stanuins oerore his tent, and get to
work at it at once, and placed an or
derly on guard to prevent my being
interrupted. As soon as I had made
a draft in lead pencil I submitted it to
Gen. Lee, who struck out a whole par
agraph and made some verbal altera
tions, when I had the rough draft, thus
corrected, signed by Gen. Lee. This
was copied and signed by him for
corps commanders, and many copies
were made and his autograph secured
as souvenirs by couriers and other per
sons at headquarters. Thus we have
the positive statement from Col. Mar
shall that Gen. Lee "struck out a
whole paragraph." It follows, there
fore, that the London copy recently
sold at auction as the original draft
for 15 10s is not the original, or that
Col. Marshall's recollection as to what
was struck out was faulty. The way
to settle that question is for the owner
of the "original" to have a photo
graphic copy made and sent to Col.
Marshall, who is living in Baltimore.
It seems to us we have seen it stated
somewhere that the paragraph which
Lee struck out contained expressions
which he feared would not be con
ducive to the reconciliation of the
North and South. After seeing how
the various published copies of the ad
dress differ, we are more than ever
anxious that the original shall be dis
covered and identified. For instance,
Fitz Lee and Gen. Long both in their
books make Gen. Lee say "with an in
creasing admiration of your constancy
and devotion to your country." etc.,
whereas the "Rooney" Lee fac simile,
and several other authorities, have
"unceasing" (which we take to be the
right word) instead of "increasing."
How strange it would be if the original
should come back to us from over
seas? Maybe it will. And if it should
the London buyer may be sure he will
be able to command for the paper a
price considerably in advance of tha:
which he paid. Richmond (Va.) Dis

Ttie Veteran Itngler.
"One of tne first things that attract
ed my attention in the village to which
we had removed," said a civil war vet
eran, "was the sound of a bugle. It
was heard in the daytime only, and the
bugler never played anything but army
calls. Some of these calls, as every
soldier knows, arc melodious, and some
are stirring: the bugler knew them all
and he played them well. He seemed
always to be passing through the vil
lage, with occasional halts. Usually
be approached by the main road from
the east. In the village this road ran
up a low hill or rising ground. Our
own street also, was on this hill, and
parallel with the main road, but at
some distance to the south of it: a
crossroad ran between these two. along
the foot of the slope. When the bugle !
was first heard in the distance the
sound would be now and then almost
lost, as woods or groups of buildings
intervened: but by the time the bugler
had reached the crossroad between the
main road and our street we would be
able to distinguish many of the calls,
as the bugler maneuvered his Invisible
army. Sometimes the head of the col
umn halted for a little time at the foot
of the hill, but oftener it kept right
on up the slope. There is a clump o
trees between our house and that part
of the main road, so that we could not
see the troops as they psssed. even
when they were there, right back or
us; but it was as easy to follow them
as though they had been in sight It
seemed as though' you could hear the
hoofs of the cavalry horses on the hard
road; it was easy to imagine the In
fantry moving aloag at route .step, ana
you fancied yoa coald hear the rumbl
ing of the batteries as they pawed.
Soavetiaves the column moved on up
the hill and passed on out of hearths
without unusual Incident, and them
sotmetlmes a detachment of cavalry
was sent on ahead to reconnoitre;
'sometimes skirmishers were deployed,
and once the bugler sent a battery
plunging and tearing across the ridges
of a cornfield to the north of the road
to shell a piece of woods ahead, to the
west Although this marching and
maneuvering, not in sight, but within
hearing, had been going on some little
lime to the north of us. I was one day
almost startled when, instead of mov
ing rtraight up on the hill as usual,
the column turned to the left at the
foot of the slope and came marching
south along the connecting road, to
ward us. The bugle sounded again at
(he foot of our street, and the head of
the column turned to the right. Look
ing down to see the first of the troops
as they turned toward us I saw coming
driving up the street, a peddler, who,
presently, as he came nearer, took
from the seat beside him a bugle,
which he sounded vigorously. This
was the bugle whose stirring notes I
had heard. He is well known. I And,
among the older residents of the dis
trict. He is a veteran who served as a
bugler in the civil war; and to all vet
eran soldiers his notes bring back old
times vividly."
Sundays Preferred for Battles.
There is a proposition whicu has
been set forth with much energy by
some correspondents whose views have
reached me. That is that one cause for
which we both ought to humiliate our
selves, and the one that is in fact, the
secret of our failures, has been tnat
our generals have fought on Sunday.
It is. therefore, rather interesting to
note how very many battles have taken
place on Sunday. Certainly their re
sult has not always corresponded with
the views of the extreme Sabbatarians.
To begin with, since these comments
were made. Gen. French has carried out
a most successful operation wnicn was
due to a movement, on Sunday. Tne
great battle of the Nile, by which Nel
hon destroyed the fleet of Napoleon
and made the scheme on which the fu
ture master of the contincn: had set
his heart the conquest of Egypt, with
a view to the conquest of India im
possible, took place on Sunday; VI
niiera. the first great European success
of the Duke of Wellington, was fought
on Sunday; Fuentes d'Onor, perhaps
the most fiercely contested and risky
of all Wellington's battles in the Pen
insula, was fought on Sunday; Ortbes
also was a Sunday battle; Ciudad Rod
rigo was captured on a Sunday. It is
almost needless to say that Waterloo
and Inkerman were Sunday battles.
The outbreak of the mutiny which
was, it must be admitted, not success
ful ultimately for those who took part
in it, but which shook our dominion
in India and exposed us to almost as
great anxiety as the present campaign
occurred on Sunday. The great
stroke which dealt the first deadly
blow against the center of the mutiny
the capture of Delhi was delivered
on Sunday. The fight at Rorke's Drifr
was on Sunday. Both Firken and Om
durman were Sunday battles. I have
limited myself in this statement to oux
English fighting during the present
century. The list might be indefinitely
extended if one went back over the
great battles of the past. If one were
to select a day of the week on which
the most important incidents of war
have occurred, my own impression,
without absolutely making, a statistical
calculation, is from my knowledge of
past history that Sunday is the day one
must name, and that it has been quite
as frequently the assailants on that
day who have won the victory as the
defenders. London News.
Waterloo in Natsliell.
The most concise and truthful ac
count of the battle of Waterloo in ex
istence was penned by the Duke of
Wellington himself; it consists of a
single paragraph contained in a letter
to Lord Beresford, an old comrade in
arms of Wellington's. Here it is, m
eight jerky sentences: "You will have
heard of our battle of the 18th. Never
did I see such a pounding match. Both
were what the boxers call gluttons.
Napoleon did not maneuver at all. He
just moved forward in the old style,
and was driven off ia the old style.
The only difference was that he mixed
cavalry with his infantry, and support
ed both with an enormous quantity of
artillery. I had the infantry for some
time in squares.and we had the French
cavalry walking about us as if they
had been our own. I never saw the
British infaftry behave so well." The
passage appears in Sir Herbert Max
well's now "Life of the Iron Duke."
where much fresh material is to bo
found. Wellington did not. as one is
apt to imagine, ride off the battlefield
proudly conscious that he was the
greatest military hero of the age. and
the prime factor in the restoration of
the martia! power of Great Britain.
"It was not till ten or twelve days after
the battle," he once confessed to Lady
Salisbury, "that I began to reflect up
on what I had done, and to feel it:"
"but." he added, "when the war is over
and the troops disbanded, what is your
great general more than anybody
else?" True, from that point of view;
but. as one writer remarks. Wellington
never seemed to have left the battle
field, and consequently never lost his
air or feeling of superiority.
Mixed.
Frederick the Great paid so much?
attention to his regiments or guards,
according to his biographer, that he
knew personally every one of the sol
diers. Whenever he saw a new one.
he used to ask him these three ques
tions: 1. How old are you? 2. How
long have yon been in my service?
3. Are you satisfied with your pay and
treatment? It happened that a young
Frenchman, who did not understand
three words of German, enlisted in the
Prussian army. On seeing him. Fred
erick put the usual questions, but his
surprise at the appearance of the
stranger led him to vary the usual or
der. The toldier, however, had learned
the answers in theb common order,
but nc the questions. "How long
have you been in my service?" asked
Frederick. "Twenty-one years," was
the prompt reply, given with a re
spectful salute. "What!" exclaimed
the king: "how old are you. then?"
"One year," said the Frenchman, with
great gravity. Success.
