Newspaper Page Text8 SCROFULA Is an hereditary disease, and one for which a tainted ancestry or blood poison ed parentage is responsible. It is trans mitted through the blood and shows itself in swelling and ulceration of the glands of the neck, catarrh of the head, weak eyes, sores, abscesses and skin erup tions, with a gradual wasting away of strength and vitality. It also attacks the bones and joints, resulting in white swel ling, hip disease aud deformities of every kind. We see the effects of this awful blood taint every day. but it exists in so many forms that often it passes for some thing else and is treated as another disease. Scrofula robs the blood of its nutritive qualities, and it becomes too poor to pro duce healthy growth and development, and | HL Uir I thin, emaciated bodies . and pallid, waxy com- Ur A plexionsare the'result. TAIMTCn Only a constitutional 11 cu remedy, one that works ANCESTRY, through the blood, can ■each a disease that has been transmitted through generations or been lurking iu the blood since birth. S. S. S. cleanses the blood of all scrofu lous matter and tubercular deposits, and when rich, pure, health-sustaining blood is again flowing in the veins there is a yadnal disappearance of all the danger ous symptoms of Scrofula; strength returns, and a complete cure is effected. S. S. S. contains no strong minerals to further break down and derange the sys tem, but can be taken by the very old, as __ well as the middle aged and young,with out anyharmfulafter effects, or the least | injury to the most i delicate constitution. ; If you have any signs of Scrofula, or your children are stunted or slow of growth, pale and sickly, write us. and our physicians will advise you free of charge.

He was a pure patriot, a gallant officer and a true Christian. MARYLAND. Maryland furnished eleven Confederate Editor of The Journal: As a contributor to the columns of Close Calls I will give your readers some reminiscences of events of my prison life, from the time of my capture, at the fall of Fort Gregg, on April 2, 1865, until I reached home on the night of July 3 fol lowing. Though I write from memory, it is a memory kept green by oft rehears als to old soldiers as we would sometimes meet and discuss or relate the stirring in cidents of the war. Some events, as I will tell them, may seem Incredible, when contrasted with the boasted civilization and Christian spirit of the American people. But what I write is literally true, except some minor points perhaps that would be immaterial. Some of the Incidents are indeed close calls and blood-curdling, and tnis, too, after hostil ities had ceased, and Generals Lee and Johnston had capitulated. But this dark cloud of brutality and barbaric depravity and satanic meanness of one man in au thority over us has a sllvsr lining in the considerate and ofttimes\gentle treatment accorded us by our captors. I shrink from reporting the cruel treatment meted out to us as prisoners by one inhuman wretch, while it is a real pleasure to chronicle the gentle and considerate treat ment by many of our paptors, and I will add. that we did not expect to be fed upon sugar*plums, or recline upon downy beds. After these prefatory remarks I will be gin my story. Immediately after being taken prisoners we were marched under guard across to the enemy’s lines, at the terminus of General Grant's railroad from City Point, just in the rear of his lines around Petersburg. Here we saw the un limited resources of our enemy, in thou sands of troops, with arins stacked, held in reserve, while we were pressed with odds of at least four to one; also great piles of meat, barrels of flour, sacks of corn, bales of hay, etc., that looked like mountains to a famished Confederate. I saw the futility of further reslstence on our part. At sundown we were marched, with a complete line of soldiers encircling us. to City Point, on the James river. Early next morning. April 3, we embarked upon an ocean steamer and landed at Point Lookout, north of the mouth of the Po tomac river, and lodged in prison. Here we found twenty thousand prisoners, quartered in small tents upon fifteen acres of land, and only four walls to wa ter this vast host. The water was prac tically exhausted by 4 o’clock p. m. of each day, and at nightfall I have seen 500 prisoners around each well, a pitiful mass scrambling for water. This lasted until 9 o’clock, when tattoo was beaten, when the thristy crowds must disperse or be fired upon by the negro guards sometimes on duty. The Yankees explained that the prison was overrun by the great influx of pris oners from Petersburg. Our fare con sisted of a piece of codfish about the size of three fingers and a slice of loaf bread one inch thick for each meal; ex cept Thursday for dinner we got bean soup in a tin cup, with hardly an eye of grease and containing about one-half doz en beans, which could be distinctly seen in the bottom of the cup. This was a luxury here. I will have to pass so much detail to compass the limits of a newspaper article. The prison camp at Pt. Lookout resem bled a miniature world, commercially, containing many Confederate sutlers, who bought from a Yankee sutler, just out side the prison walls, through a window about one foot square?, and resold to other prisoners, who got money by making all manner of trinkets, such as finger rings, watch chains, etc., and selling for fabu lous prices to excursion parties of ladies and gentlemen from Washington, D. C„ Baltimore, etc., who were eager to buy as trophies anything made by a rebel prisoner. Indeed there was a Confederate prison er. taken at the first battle of Manassas, who was still in prison when I got there, and who had sold his name for exchange three times for twenty-five hundred dol lars total. The parties purchasing going out of prison upon his name and he re maining in prison under their name each time. This was purely a business trans action with him. He was the only big Confederate sutler in prison; his shop was about 15 feet square, as I saw it, and built entirely of cracker boxes, counters, shelves and all. His exchange sales, to gether with his profits as sutler, footed up at the end of the war to about 34,000, made clear in prison. He had an eye to business. After remaining in the regular prison in charge of Major Brady for a week, I procured a transfer to the hospital camp in charge of Dr. Vogal. of New York, assisted by my old friend, •«ml» Col lars, of Lincoln county. I found this camp a heaven compared with the other. A STORY OF PRISON LIFE. generals for the service, and lost three of that number. Brigadier General Idoyd Tllghman was born in Talbot county, Maryland, in 1816, and was killed on the battle field of Cham pion's Hill, May 16, 1863. Brigadier General Charles S. Winder was lorn in Maryland in 1829. While In command of Jackson s division, on Au gust 9, 1862. and directing the movements of his batteries in the terrific artillery duel of the battle of Cedar Mountain, he was given a mortal wound by a shell, and died in a few hours, at the age of 33. Brigadier General Hefiry Little was born in Baltimore March 19, 1817. He was killed at the battle of luka, Miss., Sep tember 19. 1562. General Sterling Price, in reporting his death, says: "No more skill ful officer or more devout patriot has drawn his sword in the war of independ ence.” WEST VIRGINIA. West Virginia furnished three brigadier generals, with the loss' of only one killed. Brigadier General Albert Gallatin Jen kins was born in Cabcl county, Virginia, November 10. 1830. He was mortally wounded at Cloyd s Mountain on May 9. 1864. and died soon afterward in the hands of the enemy. Now. to bring this more fully before you I will give the numbers furnished and lost by each state, as follows: Texas, 29, lost 7; Alabama, 33. lost 7; Mississippi, 29, lost 4; Kentucky, 16, lost 2; Louisiana, 20, lost 3; Arkansas, 19, lost 2; Tennessee, 38, lost 8; Maryland, 11. lost 3; Missouri, 12, lost 1; West Virginia, 3, lost 1. The above eleven southern states fur nished in round numbers 210 major and brigadier generals, and of that number 38 were killed in battle. In concluding this article I will now give you the names, nativity and date of birth of the generals and lieutenant generals of the Confederate States army, including the grandest of them all, the general-in chlef of the Confederate States army. Rob ert E. Lee, who was born at Stratford. Va., January 19, 1807. General Albert Sidney Johnston was born February 3, 1803, at Washington, Ky. General Joseph E. Johnston was born in Prince Edward county, Virginia, Feb ruary 7, 1807. General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beau regard was born near the city of New Or leans May 28, 1818. General Braxton Brdgg was born in Warren county, North Carolina, March The sick and wounded under charge of Dr. Vogal, a humane and exemplary gen tleman, were well fed and cared for in every respect, and he governed his camp with leniency and was loved by all. I belonged to a detail to flush the sewer ditches around hospital rooms with water every morning. This only took one-half hour. Then my old friend Cullars and myself spent the balance of the day mak ing trinkets and selling same to said ex cursion parties and earning for a day’s work from eight to ten dollars every day. Our fare was beef, loaf bread, vegetables and lemonade, just as the sick got. The Yankees allowed two minstrel troups, gotten up entirely by the prisoners, that gave performances once a week each, Tuesday and Thursday nights. They dressed beardless in ladies’ apparel, had nice uniforms all aroufld. and gave splen did performances, cracking many witty jokes on Yankees, which were very much enjoyed by the Yankee officers, who at tended in a body every night, special seats being reserved for them. Cullars and myself with many other prisoners, attend ed also every night. The performances were splendid, music and all. It was a great relief to the monotony of prison life. The Yankees furnished the house for the minstrels gratis. Cullars and myself also bought a Ad dle, whittled and made out of a cracker box by a prisoner with his pocket knife. We bought strings from the Yankee but ler who kept almost everything or would order it. With this fiddle we had a deal of fun. We would lay off work from our trinket business late in the evening and with our fiddle in hand (for we were both country fiddlers) we would get out ot our tent and strike up a quadrille and have a regular stag dance by the priso ners. After and in addition to this, we had employed an old phrenologist, who was a good talker, at a dollar a day, to give phrenological examinations of heads and read character by the sciences ot phrenology. This performance was free to any one who would submit to an ex amination. And with the fiddle and our scientist we had much fun. My article is too long. I must pass from Incidents of prison, which constituted the silver lining to my cloud of prison life and relate my ocean voyage from Point Lookout to Savannah, Ga., and to home, but in this voyage I am alone, or at least my old friend Cullars Is absent, he hav ing received his parole before I did, as his name began with C and mine wit-h S alphabetically arranged. Let me add here that the regular prison was the dirtiest and filthiest place it ever fell my lot to live in; dirt and vermin abounded, the prisoners had no change of clothing and it was impossible to keep clean, though we were allowed to bathe In the Chesa peake Bay. Let me add before passing, that I saw Masonic finger rings, made of guttapercha, inlaid with Masonic im plements of gold plate, readily bring 25 dollars, of course in greenbacks. These rings were beautifully carved and made by prisoners who were professional jew elers at horge. The ingenuity displayed by southern prisoners in trinket work was simply wonderful and exploded the idea that American ingenuity belonged only to Yankees. The confinement of one in prison had about the same effect upon his mechanical genius as the confinement of the other by the northern winters' snow. But yet before passing out of prison, candor compels me In making a true re- R. W. JONES JR., para OCNT U N tTED STATE S G. B. GRAY CASHES S HEXD Ml MS 188 NJF S’® yXvfly J.

An elderly and dignified man appeared one morning recently in the office of a railway passenger agent in the city of Boston. The official he wanted to see was out. “Perhaps,” suggested the visitor to the lordly office boy. “you can direct me—” “No,” replied the magnate thus address ed, “I kin do nothin'. No one here gives passes ’cept the boss. You'll have to wait until he comes In.” At this juncture of the clerks recog nized the caller as Senator Hoar and of fered his services. “I wish to ascertain.” said the senator, “to whom I owa the price of a meal for which I forgot to pay yesterday when I left the dining car at Worcester. Some one had to pay for what I ate and I want to reimburse him.” “Oh, that's all right, Mr. Hoar," re turned the clerk, "I guess we need not bother about the matter." “No, it isn’t all right and we will bother about it,” replied the senator. And he made the clerk search the office records with the result that the name of the wait er, responsible for the collection of the check was duly ascertained. Then with as much evident satisfaction as though he had succeeded in getting an Important bill through congress, the senator paid the clerk $1.50, to be credited to the waiter.

"There is an old saying that every creat ed thing is in some way useful, and I am beginning to be less doubtful of it as I grow older,” said an Oklahoman in reply to a man who had been arguing that such things as tarantulas, centipedes and rat tlesnakes never should have been put on earth. "Now, you fellows who have never been on the plains might say that the prickly pear cactus was a foe to both man and beast. I thought myself for a long time that It was simply in the way. but I changed my mind last summer. ‘lke’ Pry or. known to every cowman in Oklahoma, has a big ranch west of San Antonio, in which are hundreds of acres covered with prickly pear. The plants grow taller than a man’s head, and so close together in places that cattle and horses cannot pass through them. A cow pony soon learns to fear the sting of the prickly pear.

If the plant is too tall the pony will strike it with his foie feet and crush it down until he can leap over it without filling his skin full of stingers. * -7ow. if I should say that the prickly pear is one of the best forage plants on the Texas range you might think 1 was a liar, but it would be the truth. In western Texas the grass sometimes is burned up with drought, and water becomes scarce. It was seen that ca.ue were eager to eat the prickly pear, which is succulent and filled witu juice, but the nettles stung their mouths and tongues until they grew swol len and bloody. The right man generally arrives, and when he came this time he had a compressed air gasoline torch small enough to be carried easily on foot or horseback. The compressed air forced a flame from a tube to a distance of three or four feet, making it easy for a man to go into a prickly pear patch with a torch and burn the nettles from the plants as rapidly as he could pass among them. . On the Pryor ranch one man Is able to scorch enough pear plants to feed 300 cattle every day. Thousands of cattle a ret provided with forage in this manner in dry seasons. The plants contain so much juice that cat tle seldom go to water. "While the prickly pear Is not a fattening food, yet cattle feeding on it hold their own in weight and | The feed Is double, and the feed motion I is simply perfect; no partial or half-feed ' is possible with the machines. | The tension has combined with it a I thread releasing device, which is a great advahtage. i The shuttle is absolutely self-threading. • i The tension in the shuttle is perfect.

The Pass Fiend. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The manager of the Bucklen Opera House in Elkhart, Ind., found that because of the pass habit his business was becoming about as profltable as that of the drug store man who had a great run on postage stamps, but sold very few drugs. • Not wishing to offend his dead-head friends by speaking to them personally concerning tha imposition, he had some unique passes pre pared. One of these he framed ?s a souvenir. On one side of the pass appeared the follow ing explanation: "I tender you this little tribute, hoping it will explain what modesty prevents me from doing. “It costs gold and silver to run a theater. The employes, gas and water companies, elec tric light company, the coal company, the newspapers and Incidental expenses cannot be paid in passes. It no one t pays admission to the theater how are these expenses to be paid? "You would not go to a clothing store and ask for a free suit of clothes. Then why ask for a free pass to a theater? My Mils must be paid as well as theirs. By giving away passes one might be termed a ‘good fellow,’ but that won’t feed the wife atd the babies." On the other side the following quotations were printed: , "In those days there were no passes.”— Numbers 20:18. ' "This generation shall not pass.”—Mark 13:30. "Suffer not a man to pass."—Judges 3:28. "None shall ever pass."—lsaiah 34:10. f«The' wicked shall no more pass.’’—Nahum 1:15. "Thou shalt not pass.”—Numbers 20:18. "Though they roar yet they shall not pass." —Jcr. £'99 "So he paid his fare and went.”—Jonah 1:8.
