man's ring, when mamma hearing a heavyfall, ran into the hull and fojind Aunty lying

the floor in a dead faint, with an old yellowlottor crushed in hor hand. It was tho onoCnpLHayno had written while ou his way Uicertain death.

"A party of prospectors had found tho mailcarrier's remains iu a raviuo near tho GreatBond in tho Arkansas Kivor, and a number ofarrows lyiug about showed plainly that ho hadIk-o-ii killed by the Indians. Tho mail pouchwas found mo distance away, whero it proba-bly had been dragged by tho wolves, andthough it was somewhat torn and quite rotten,

good many of tho letters were still decipher-able, and kucIi as the address could bo made outwere at once forwarded to thoir destination.

"Thoshock of getting the letter wasalmostasKoveroas when the news of Capt, Hay no's deathwas brought home to Aunty. It was short,tlioro being only a few lines, and it told her nomore than she already knew, but it seemed like

message lrnm the dead."The olficer who had written of Capt. Hayne's

death told her that they buried him uearwherofoil, and gavo an exact description of

tho spot. They wore hundreds of miles fromany place whore they could bury him withmilitary honors, and, being in the enemy'scountry, they could do nothing else than buryhim ou the sput where ho mot his death, hoping

no distant day to remove the body to FortLeavenworth.

"Aftar the receipt of tho old loiter Aunty be-

came possessed with a dosire to visit the placewhore he lay, but it was not till 1673 that hhowas able to do so. Tho railroad was then fin-

ished as far wont as Colorado, and in the FalltliHtyoar jwpa touk Aunty, mamma and mo

1 whs just bovon years old on a trip throughJvanr.UK. We stopped at a little town calicoLarned, the nearest point from which to reachthe place where dipt, Jiayno was buried.

" I romombor it all just as well as though Ihad hoeu it but yestcrdny.

"11 isgravo was just threo miles from tho town,the brow of a high hill rising abruptly from

Pawnee Crock. Ou tho south, far below us,a stretch of low-lyin- g valley, through

which the creek, with its tree-shad- ed banks,wound down to tho Arkansas Kiver, whichtrailed it.s sinuous length liko a great yellowserpent between us and tho distaut sand hills,iuixt through the solt blue haze we could scothe historic eliif called Pawnee Kock; to thonorth of us the prairie lay in long undulatingsweeps of rich golden brown reaching to theblue horizon, broken here and there by picturedlakctumd ragged outlines of mountain peaks orlorcsts, the fleeting, ever-changin- g mirage;while in the west, where the Pawnee found itsnw in the hilly upland, we could hoc the Na-

tional colors floating above a pretty fort of thesame name as the town we had just left. I willalways remember tho view as 1 saw it first, forthough I've beeii there often since aud thereare many ehauges I think of it as I saw itwhon the sun was just setting and long shad-ows wore beginning iu creep over the valley.Thchtoucbuildiugsof the fort inclosed a hollowsquare, from the center of which rose the tallilagstair. OlT to tho northwest of the fort, itswhite fence gleaming in tho mellow light, laythe military cemetery. Liko a ball of fire sub-merged iu a sua of blue the sun dipped belowtho horizon, and instantly we saw tho putf ofblue smoke and heard the boom of tho sunsetgnu.

"At our feet, sunken and grass-grow- lay thograve of Aunt Hester's lover; and as tho gray

the sihort twilight closed in upon us, oblit-erating all shapes, no sounds came to onr cars,aud we seemed to bo far above tho busy world,aloue with the spirits of the past.

"Ilffoie we loft Lamed papa had the remainsof Capt. HH.vne placed in the military cemetery

the fort, but iu 1875 Fort Lamed was aban-doned aud the cemetery was no longer takencare of, bo after we came to Kansas papa hadthe remains brought here, and now they restin pwice on the hill over there. You havenoticed the monument often, no doubt. It's asoldier standing at 'parade rest.' And that iswhy it wounds Aunt Hebter so cruelly to hearany one speak lightly of tho boys who worethe blue, aud who were mustered out of lifo'abattles by tho enemy's guns."

As Zilpha finished her story tho sound of thecvouiug guu at the distant fort came softly tothe ears of tho little group on the veranda step,who. with tear-we- t eyes and idlo hands, worethinking of that grave out on the hill aud thekindred ones that lay m tho hilltops and inthe valleys of every fcjtifte in the bro-i- Union.

Jessie Lane broke the oppressive quiet byrepeating in her Mift, sweet way:

"After life's fitful fever they sleep woll;nothing cau harm them further."

one, young or oid, unless exceedingly delicate.If you have not been iu the habit of indulgingiu this luxury, 1 do not ad vise you to begin thehabit of iiiHtntiual cold water bathing all atomtc. The tepid soap bath will iu nine vasesout of 10 Mill young girls better and they willnot have taken a do.en morning baths of thiskind before they bouome sensible of an increaseiu the appetite, in strength and in good Rpirits,aud iu the capability of enjoying life andeverything of good that is iu this life. Uy theu he of the boap bath, ton, the complexion grad-ually becomes more clear aud delicate, the ro-

seate hues of health b.gm to bloom on thechecks, and the skin is rendered as soft audpliant as that ot a little child. This bath, too,causes the yc to beoomo beautifully clear, aud1 kiiMW of nothing ohe that will do this.

Niw, what is it you require in order to ren-der tlii bath of iniiiu quite a luxury as well asan iuvigomtor of both mind and body? Vhjthe soup lmt.li is simple in the extreme. Inyour diosing-roo- you have cold, soft wateruud a Kponge, pinhuhly pi hcod thereover night,ho that it is iu the morning of the same tom-jn-ratii- re

as the nir; then you have a nice, soft1'urkibh waiting glove aud a piece of plaincaMitu or ivory mm p not scented, that weredangerous to health; then, standing before abasin of hot water, the whole body is quicklylathered and rubbed thoroughly. This oughtnot toocoiitiy more than say ihreo minutes,and after this comes the cold sponge bath,wnioh need not take more than a minute anda half. A moderately coarse towel should beusud, and the skin should be thoroughly dried,ltciuoiuhor that the towel must not be roughonough to irritate the skin, but only to producea pleat-an- t glow; reuiembcr, too, that theremubt be no dawdling over the bath dawdle asmuch as you please while dressing, but bathewith judicium, celerity; and remember, thirdly,that you iiihm. never uegleet to wet the headwith cold water, else disagreeable sensationswill he tile roMilt.

The bath is to bo taken on an empty stom-no- h,

aod immediately after getting out of bed.The blight feliocl; caused by the cold waterwill b Hii"(uodud with feelings very delightfulindued feed hiks which 1 might describe if Ichoso, but will not, us 1 want you to experiencethorn.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINSTON, D. 0., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1886.

EIGF1T-D0LL- AR PLp,Commander-in-Chi- ef Burdclt's Speech

in Opposition.

Extract from the Official Report p the Proceedingsof the Twentieth Xational Encampment.

Comrade Ilurdett, Commandor-in-Chio- f, call-ing Junior Vice Comniaudcr-in-Chie- f Lewis totho chair, said:

Comkades: It is perhaps unusual for tliochair to tako tho floor for tho purposo of par-ticipating in general debate, but 1 trespass, ifso it is, under a very deep sense of duty andresponsibility. I think that very much for ourhonor as individual veterans and that verymuch for tho peace and prosperity of the GrandArmy of tho Kcpublic depends ou the issuo ofthis debate. Whatever results must bo acceptedas the dcliboralo judgment after sufiicient in-quiry of this great representative body.

First of all let us havo an honest stntcmontof the caso, and, if wo may, a clear perceptionof tho ends proposed. It will help to this ifwo refresh our kuowlcdgo as to tho theoriesaud facts of the present situation. ExistingjMMishm law, sotting up aa the standard capacityfor the performance of manual labor, thereuponprovides that such as havo been so incapaci-tated by reason of thoir military scrvico as notto bo able to do a man's task shall bo "ovencdup" or indemnified on account of that loss byreceiving out of tho National Treasury such asum as, added to their remaining capacity forlabor, will mako them equal in earning powerwith their uninjured comrades. In otherwords, tho sum of money paid out for pensionseach year represents in theory the amount Ofstrength and skill, if devoted to manual pur-suits, which tho incidents aud fatalities of warhavo subtracted from tho pensionable classesas thus far ascertained ; and tho pending

cases represent a remaining num-ber who allege that thoy havo suffered 6uchdetriment.

Bearing this in mind, and turning now totho form of bill which the minority ask us toindorse and push to its enactment into law, weshall see that the naked projKJiitiou is thatthere shall bo added $3 per month to everypension now paid, aud $3 to the sum hereafterfound duo by existing law in any nnadjudi-catc- d

ease now pending or to be hereafter pre-sented, and a like sum per mouth to that greatbody of us who took no dctrimeut by reason ofour service. I havo made this statement of thosituation that it may, aa tho very truth is,appear

First. That along tho wholo lino tho basis ofthis demand is good health.

Second. That since it is impossible to con-coiv- e

that for tho purposo of aiding the strongaud vigorous to get their hand into tho Na-tional Treasury any facility now provided toenable thoso actually disabled to obtain a com-pensHti- ng

pension will over bo withdrawn, itfollows of neccsjtly that tho machinery now iu.voguo for that purposo must and will remainiu operation, and that tho claim so persistentlymade by tho eight-dolla- r advocates thattho possngo of their measure will putan end to expensivo adminstnuion, todelays in execution of tho law, and totho profits of claim agents is not only withoutfoundation, but requires the exercise of a largocharity to classify as aught else than a founda-tionles- s

appeal to prejudice. No man ac-quainted with business mothods will doubt thatthe passage of the bill of tho minority wouldfor years materially increase the present enor-mous expenses of tho Pension Bureau, or thatit would provo a veritable bonanza to tho fra-ternity of claim agents. Among tho millionsand mora of claimants for this annual bountyof more than one hundred millions of dollarsthat fraternity may safely be relied upon to getits accustomed share, and none but tho hopo-lessl- y

verdant will beliovo that this scheme hasfailed up to this point to win tho earnest sup-port of a due share of that class of patriots, orwill in the future fail in the receipt of theirmost assiduous attentions. Tho picture drawnfor us of the necessary miliums piled up behindthe barrier of the boxes of our thousands ofpostotlices ready to be handed out withoutexpense to any applicant who may present apaper which ho declares to be his honorable dis-charge is Acadian in simplicity, aud testifiesthat somewhere iu tho rauks of the supportersof the bill there is an imagination which scornsall knowledge of sublunary things.

Hut I havo uilirmative complaints to makoagainst the doing of this thing. You cannotwink it out by reference to the great wealth ofour country that the addition of a hundredmillions yearly to our present tax list is a vastburden to place ou the shoulders of our people

Grand Army men im well as others, nor canit be disguised that by so much the availablefunds for the sick and disabled will by thisbounty to thestrongbe curtailed and imperiled.That is neither charity nor fraternity, as I understand the import of those terms, say whatyou may about our having earned it by oursacrifices, enlarge as much as may bo ou thoassertion that it would bring present relief tosome tand I grant it that there you have yourpenny's worth of bread against your shilling'sworth of sack), iu the end the deliberate judg-ment of our fellow-uitizeu- s will bo that yourbill sends patriotism to the auction block audmeasures it by a price as does the huckster hiswans. I protest that if we must go uponthe market the measure of compensation hasbeen put at too low a figure. Might dollars amouth is not my price. I will not sell eventhe right to be proud above my fellows whonever stood iu ranks for bo poor a sum. Godhelp us to keep tho time a long way olf whenby any act or omission of tho National Encamp-ment we shall give just cause to our follow-citize- ns

to hail the Grand Army not as thoLegionaries but as the Mercenaries of the Ke-publ- ic.

Only one more word. No such bill asthis can pass. If the Grind Army were a unitfor it, it would lag for many a year; with oveua minority actively opposing it, it cau neverbecome law. It can become the means of mak-ing our Order the football of nasty politics.Why imperil our name and fame aud honor bythe advocacy of a cause foredoomed to defeat?

riopln? Twice 'Willi the Same Man.IGtuke Democrat.

Two years ago Miss Alay Conway was ono ofthe must attractive girls iu tho little village ofTexas, Haltimoro Co. She was not hauileome,but bright aud winsome, uud the country beausworo drawn to her liko bees to a honeysuckle.She appeared to be modest uud good, aud sangin the village church choir. She also taught aclass iu the Sunday school, nnd it was theroshemet her fate. Howard Poc, it is said, was ateacher in the same school. He was au industrious man, with no bad habits, and until hebecame too fond of his fair fellow teacher liewas a devoted husband. Ho bail been marriedsome years, and his wife ws au excellent lady.The conduct of Poo and AIij Conway soon be-

came the talk of the village, aud the discardedwife was terribly Finally, one Sun-day after school, the couple disappeared. Theycame to Baltimore and put up at a hotel there.They then went to Washington, but in a fewweeks they rejionted of their unholy lovo, audsought forgiveness of their relatives. Ho wasreceived again by his wife, who forg-iv- himaud believed him thoroughly repentant. 3Iaywas received into the bosom of her father'sfamily as a prodigal daughter. From that timeuntil about a month ago tho exemplary couductof Toe and 31 iss Coil way silenced tho tongues ofthe gossips. In all that timo they wore neverseen iu each other's company. They bowedwhenever they mot, but that was all. Bccontly,however, they wore tin own into each other'ssociety at several picnics, which Poe attendedwithout his wife. The result was u revival ofthe old affections, which led to another elope-ment, and tho couple aro now living togethernear York, Pa. Airs. Poe livo3 alone in Texas,supported by hor own exertions and her hus-band's father.

Cutting a Out of a Stomach.Ijjudun Sliinrtard,

A novel nnd dangerous operation has justbeen performed in Phris by Dr. Polaillon. Thopatient was a mountebank named Liichuu, who,iu tho pursuit of his calling, swallowed a largefork, which stuck fast in his stomach. It wasiu vain that ho tried to get his fingers down tothe tips of the fork, so he had to leave it there,in the hope that no harm would ensue. In alew days, howover, ho felt acute pain particu-larly when his stomach was without food. Dr.Polaillon was r.uablu to find the portion of thefork by means of tho ordinary sounding in-

strument, so ho employed another, with whichhe contrived to touch the prongs. He thenmade au incision iu the man's abdomen uudextracted tho fork In his report to the Academyon the subject, I)i.

Tho Earthquake and the Telegraph Operators.iCliieagoNaa.

Thcrowosa thrilling timo up in tho opera-ting rooniof the Western Uuiou when tho earth-quake shock was felt. Nearly a hundred opera-tors sat thero, each connected as if by a ncrvowith different places in tho country. Therewcro men ou tho Baltimore wire, on tho Louis-ville, on tlio Savauunh, on tho Charleston.Thcro was not a man in tho room who did nothavo an experience of some sort or another.An acquaintance of mine had Baltimore, wherotho shock was felt decisively. Tho follow attho otherend wasspinnirigalongwhen "break"came. Thcro was a sort of dull rattlo at thokey and then silence. In a minuto tho Balti-nior- o

fellow said that thcro was a panic in hisoperating room, and that all tho men wero outheir feet Tho Savannah wiro wo3 lost in-

stantly, and withontthe preliminary of "break."There wcro threo minutes of amazement in thoChicago oilico. Then a buzzing interchange ofexperiences. A thousand telegraphers fromNew Orleans to Chicago nnd from New York toSan Francisco woro In a dazed way trying tofind out what was the troublo with their fol-

lows in the South. Louisvillo finally struggledback to their tables nnd told in a frightenedway how they had been shaken up and had fledfrom tho building. Tho chiof operator atSavannah, tho only man who had stuck to hispost, tried to give tho hundred different wireswho were calling Charleston that Charlestonhad suddenly been cut off, had apparently beenswallowed up.

"It seemed to mo," said my friond, who hadbeen working tho Baltimore wiro that night,"as if somebody had jostled against my table.It was not until everybody was asking, 'What'sthat?' that I know anything had happened."

The Sphinx am New IMscoTerles.The Academy.

Tho Sphinx occupies a position whero tlioencroachments of the desert aro most conspicu-ous. At tho present day nothing is to bo seenof tho animal except its head and its neck ; buttho old Egyptian monuments on which it isfigured show not only tlio cntiro body down totho paws, but also a largo squaro plinth beneath,covered with ornaments. Since tho timo of thoGreeks, perhaps even sinco tho reign ofThotbcrucs IV, this plinth has disappeared bo- -ncatn tho sand, and its very existence had beenforgotten. It is generally supposed that thoSphinx is hewn out of n largo, isolated rock,which overlooked tho plain. But 51. 5Iasporo,sresearches sugzest that it is a work yet morostupendous. Ho ha3 proved that tho Sphinxoccupies mo center of an amphitheater, form-ing a kind of rocky basin, tho upper rim ofwhich is about on a level with tho head of thoanimal. Tho walls of this amphitheater, when-ever visible, nre cut by tho baud of man. Itseems probable, therefore that in tho beginningthcro was a uniform surfaco of rock, in whichan artificial valley has been excavated, so as toleavo iu tho middle a block ont of which thoSphinx was finally hewn. Tho excavationsnow being carried on will doubtless verify thoexistenco of the plinth shown on tho old paint-ings, and also furnish cvidonco, by tho orna-mentation of tho plinth, of tho truo ago of thomonument. 31. ilaspcro is inclined to assignto it a very great antiquity possibly higherthan tho early dynasties, i. c, than tho firstperiod of Egyptian history. As tho result oflast Winter's work, tho sand round the Sphinxhas already been lowered by about 30 meters.
