panorama studio for exhibition In Minneapolis and
other cities, lias been here alnce Saturday last au-
perintc-ndlng the putting of the finishing strokes to
the great artistic work. Mr. Davis was “at thf
front" from tbe outbreak to the end of the war,
and haa probably a clearer and fuller genera) idea
of “how the great conflict looked" than any other
man living. Be was present at the battle of
Atlanta, ’•pending a portion of his time with
Degress’s battery, which during tbe engage
ment was captured by tbe confederates and
recaptured by the union troops. He has rslnforced
his memory of the Atlanta campaign by recent
conversations with Important acton In it, and by
reference to the official documents of the cam*
paJgn. He haa secured advance sheets of the
latest volume of the documentary history of the
rebellion which is being published by tbe govern*
ment, and which contains dispatches and state
ments throwing a strong light upon many points
that have heretofore been in doubt, in a long con
versation with Mr. Davis, at the panorama studio,

J. 8., Anniston, Ala.: (live the per centage
of the various nationalities In this country.
Your question about the per centsge of the dif
ferent nationalities In the present American peo
ple can only be answered approximately. Ihe
present population Is about r»7,coo.ooO-vM).ooo,noo
whiten and 7,000,000 colored. About U.000,000
whites have come into the country from abroad
alnce 1020, but how many of tbeao, that Is, how
many foreign bom persons are living in the coun<
try at this day, cannot be stated accurately. The
number la oot far from seven mllliom-ihe
greater portion Germans, the next Irish and the
next Scandinavians. Too population of the
try In DUO waa 0,600,000-ncarly all uatlve born,
aiucc the tide of immigration had not set iu, at
that time. U Is estimated that
whole number ol Immigrants to
country from l?tt to 1K!0 was only 250,ouo. But
the number who have anno since 1820 Is 12,000,010—
which is 2,400,000 greater than tbe population of
the country in 1820. Km I mating the native popu
lation In 1820 at 0,500,0(0, and the German immi
gration since then at 4,000,000, tha Irish at 3,500,000
the Scandinavian at 900,000, the English at MUJXX),
the French at 400,000, tbe Scotch at 200,000, the
Chinese at 100,000, and all others at 2,800,000-700
may get some idea of the proportion In which the
races of the world are represented ln the present
American people. It must be remembered that
even all the native born persons in tbe country are
of foreign descent; their ancestors came from
abroad,
E. W., Oxford, Alabama : On what part of
our continent can be found the oldest relics of
civilization ?
The oldest human habitations upon this contl
Bent are said to be those recently dI*covcrcd ln
New Mexico bv Majer Dowell, chid of the geolog-
icel survey. They are In New Mexico, near Cali
fornia mountain. The mountains ln this vicinity
arc covered with huge beds of lava, In which the
prehistoric man and bis comrsdce excavated
aquare rooms, which wero lined with a specie* of
plaster msde from the lava; and In these room*
were found various evidences of quite anadvsneed
civilization, among them a species of cloth made
of wcvcu hair, and a large number of pieces of
pottery. In tho sides or the rooms cupboard* and
shelve* were excavated. In one room, stick! 'g
out of tho bare face of the well, was a small
branch of a tree. When this was pulled out it was
found that there was a hollow *pace behind the
wall. Colonel J. II. 8tcphenson, Msjor Powell's
assistant, broke this with a pick, and foam! a Ut
ile concealed niche, In which was a small carved
figure, resembling a man done up in a closely
woven fabric, which, with the touch of the
hand, turned to dust. It wa* blackened
and crisp, like the mummy cloths of Egypt. In
ell, some s)xt]br oops of these lava villages wero
(bond, there being twenty houses in each group.
The evidencca of civilization were similar, but
removed by their crudity and evident want of
skill, a good deal from the articles found In the
cliff Louies, which have been so fully written up

o'clock in the morning. The day wore away with
tbe camp in a state of great commotion over tbe
probable death of its favorite officer. When night
came end nothing had been seen of the balloon, it
was tbe genera) conviction that Porter bad either
been killed by a fall from his balloon or had been
captured by the confederates. About daybreak
next morning a picket challenged a man coming
toward the federal line aud a moment later recog
nized General Porter. His balloon had carried
him clean over the confederate army. He waa
fired at a do.cn times by the confederate artillery.
At night the wind changed and brought him
back, and when he saw that he was over hi« own
army he let out the gas gradually and safely de
rcetded, after being twenty hoars In the air with
the vision of a horrible death constantly before
him. After thla strange edventnre. no more ex
periments with balloons were made in McClellan's
army."

llood bad marched Hardee out with four divi
sions during the night of the 21st of July, to what
he presumed to be a position on the flank and rear
of General Hhcrman's extreme left. General
Wheeler, with bl» entire cavalry corps, accompa
nled General Hardee: and before noon on the 22-1
attacked Decatur, which waa held by Sprague's
brigade of three regiments, the Twenty-fifth Wis
consin. Thirty-fifth New Jersey and Sixty-third
Ohio, where a battle ensued which for unequal
numbers and blttcrncm was and Is one of tbe not
able conflicts of the war. Had this little brigade
suffered defeat Gherman's army would havo tost
almost Its entire transportstlou. Mr. Davis, ln
sneaking of this, says that the gallantry of Govern
or Bosk, then lieu tenant-colonel of tbe Twenty-
filth Wisconsin, is largely due the besting off of
this attack. The governor's horse had too many
bullets In blm ftjr further nseftilnew. His saddle
was tulucd by bullets, the scabbard of his sword
wan bent, and ho was the last mounted officer ln
that fight.

While this battle was in progress Hardee attacg<
ed viciously, but the unexpected presence of Dodge
proved fatal to this first onset. Before the right of
the Hxteenth corpses deployed to meet Hardee's
sttack could close upon tbe left of the Seventeenth
the confederates poured through the gap between
these corps and struck tbe Seventceuth corps
squarely cm the flank. Then ensued a continued
battle or charge and countercharge on the pan of
Hardee s men which closed only at nightfall. At
the moment of Hardee's onset McPherson was near
his headquarter*, three-quarters of a mile east of
the rtaudpotnt of the panorama. He had visited
Sherman ln the morning at the Hurt house, where

Tbe subseqnent events of the campaign may be
briefly told. Hood allowed his army only time to
reorganize, when on the 28th of July he attacked
Sherman west of Atlanta. In the three bat
tles around Atlanta Hood so disintegrated his army
aa to be unable to meet and repel the determ! n sd
manlts at LoTeJoy’s station and Jonesboro. Thus
Jeff Darts succeeded ln ending the Atlanta cam
paign with a neatness and dispatch for which the
veterans of Sherman's army have not yet ceased
to commend him.

funny that the whole audience Joined in and the
show on the stage did not stand knee-high to a
dock. No act was funnier than Tommy's laugh,
and it is destined to become famous away from
home. Tommy now resides in Minneapolis, and
his laugh Is already well known ln that city. Sev

Tho Fountain of Youth.
In all tho searches for the fabled founts!a of
youth there has been disappointment in the
final result This has been more or less keen,
arcording to the state of health of the seeker.
Bot modern scientific research has found a real
"fountain of youth.” In Compound Oxygen
the old ideal so long sought for has been found
to be attainable. One who has toated its value
writes from Waukan, Wis.: "I sleep better;
dyspepsia Is less troublesome, and 1 think I
can lay my heart is bettor. I am stronger, and
J am losing thst worn and haggard look; per
haps I msy say I am growing young again. Is
must be that Compound Oxygen is the foun
tain of youth.” Another writes from Cliiv
tor, Masiacbuactts: "It has given me s
much ttreigth that I feel like a new
personA clergyman at Queen City,
lli.-souri, writes: “My wife has used your
Ctmjound Oxygen with the best of results
llei cough is not entirely removed yet, but
with thst exception she has become the
strongeat and healthiest woman of her age in
this community." The editor of the New
8outb, W. 11. Wrorthington, of Columbus, Miss.,
says:
“You will doubtless remember my getting
your Compound Oxygen for my mother (who
is very agtd) In February or March of last
year, and its happy effect upon her. When I
wrote you my mother was very low. When
sbe commenced taking tbe Treatment she be
gan at onco to Improve, and this improvement
was steady. She is now in good health. I.ut
week she made several visits to her friends,
walking several squares, ller restoration to
health from the use of Compound Oxygen has
attracted considerable attention in this sec-
on.”
Curiosity as to this remedy may be fully
gratified by any one who will tako tbe trouble
to write to Dn. Starkky A Palen, No. 15 *)
Arch street, Philadelphia. They publish a
brochure of nearly two hundred pages, entitled
Compound Oxygen—Ita Mode of Action and
Besults. This will bo sent, post-paid, to any
