General order No. 7, National head­ quarters Grand Army of the Republic has been promulgated under date of April ^6,1888. It calls attention to the near approach "of May 30, 1SS8, the twentieth annus! recurrence of Me­ morial Day." The order lays: "The spirit ind customs of our order impose upon all comrades the duty of partici­ pating in the public recognition of the day. Let it not be forgotten that our comrades dead were earnest, manly men. whs voluntarily faced death for a cause worthy of the sacrifice. Let all known graves of the men who fought for the Union, on land or sea, be mark­ ed by the pure blossoms of spring, which In all tetigues speak the language of gratitude and love." Let the people be assembled for special memorial ser­ vices where eloqueuce and song shall unite to teach and exemplify the dntles and rewards ef patriotism; and so may lbs better angels of our naiure touch- log the tender chords of memory which stretch from every battle-Meld and patriot grave to every living heart aod hearthstone all over this broad land,' so swell the chorus of the Union chat no discord shall ever again mar its glorious harmonies."

Confederate Money Loaned in a Frlsoa Repaid in Greenbaoks. [JVom the Jiang or (Me.) Oormneretat,] On Tuesday of this week Csunty At- tsrney H. II. Burbank, of Saoo, paid ths following sots, which was recently forwarded him from Greenville, Pa.: |50. COLUMBIA, S. C.. Jan. 16. 1865. Fsr value received I promise to pay, on demand, to William Washburne, or order, the sum of fifty dollars. (Signed) HOBACB H. BUBBANK, Limerick, Me. When this note was given Col. Bur- bank was an inmate of Columbia pris­ on. unwillingly partaking of ths hospi­ tality of ths Confederacy. Among his companions was William Washburns, a Lieutenant of tbe 5th Mass., who had received from his father a large sum of Confederate money. Unwilling to alone enjoy ths advantages that Con federate money could purcbass, Wash hurne distributed his fsrtune amort his comrades In sums of #50 each, tak­ ing their notes therefor. Tbe #50 was then only worth #10 in United States money, but nevertheless It enabled tbe prissners to obtain many a luxury orN tn extra ration. Soon after Col. Burbank returned ts tils home bs wrots to Mr. Weehburne at Boston, where he gave his address, sking if hs still had ths nsts, but no answer was sver received, and till a <hort time ago he supposed that his benefactor had joined the silent ma­ jority. Receotly the Colonel found among his mall a long letter from Mr. *Ya8hburne, whs la now llvlnig In Greenville, Pa. Ths letter stated bat Its writer bad been paroled at < -harlotte, N. C., shortly after the fsr uuate escape of Col. Burbank and a number of others from Columbia Prls- »n. From Charlotte, Washburns wa*tak- n to Annapolis, Md., where he was exchanged. By this time he had be- *H»m« a physleal wreok , a«d . totally Hind. Under the care of his parents i" improved somewhat and regained ne partial use of his eyes, but is still Usabled. He says that since he has -^rjggled along trying to maintain hi? mall family. The letter Is gracefully worded, and tells In a modest way a ruly pathettc story. In the sam* nveiope was the old nsts, yellow, but <vell preserved. It Is needless to say that Cel. Bur- tank hastened ts pay off his old debt, md at the sams time to reilsvs tbe -«>e*8&ltlss of a prematurely old vet- ran soldier. HOW "ST0HEWALL" FILL, rhs Story of a Confederate Soldier who saw the Fatal 8hots Fired. Athens (Ga.) Bantutr: We followed »ur bottoms until we got ts the plank jad leading from Fredericksburg to 'hanjellorsville, being then near and m the front of Hooker's (bettor known is Fighting Joe) army. Ws were brown in line of battle three deep, tnd ordered to rest, but our rest was suddenly disturbed by the firing sf >ne of our cannon immediately In snr rear, and as the echoe died awav we ueard the answer from sns of Leo's guns. Tbe beys then knew that tbe next thing would be to fight, and in a tew minutes ws heard ths order oom- ing from tbe line, "Fix baysnets and charge." With a yell we pushed sn »ut had gone but a very short distance before we were on the enemy greatly 0 the'r surprise. As they were not looking for us at that time and plaoe. hey were not prspared ts receive us. «o they took to their heels rather than be taken prisoners, leaving their knap- •*acks laid In squares by companies, guns stacked and camp ksttles belling with beef. On we went In high spirits in double quick time, loading and firing. I passed one poor fellow with a ball through his leg bathing in a hole ot water. He looked up %t us and said: Go ahead. Johnnies;'thc Yanks are running liks !" The further wo went the mere stubbor.n the enemy became, but there was no stopping the Stonewall men. Just at dusk they made t bold stand in tbe edge of heavy woods, where they had tbrswn up some good breastworks, but we made no stop but forced them en. As It was dark we soon came to a halt. The best of my recollection is that we must have bee a on this charge sns and a half bsurs. When we stopped I found 1 bad strayed ofl from my company, but I soon found them 6tan.liag in the plank road telling as soldiers will, what each one bad seen, bow many rounds each one bad shot etc. While waiting we heard the clatter of horses' hoofs, and well does any old1 soldlsr know bow ws fslt to think of a cavalry charge in tbe night. Soon ws hsard tbe clinking of sabres: then we iMr- mentarily expected the dash of caval­ ry npon us. Our officers gays srders to all that bail loaded gone to fire when they cams near enough, and all that had empty ones ts pre pans eelve a cavalry charge. On closer aad closer, until tbsy bs almsst upon us. Being la an<j very dark, we could but we fired one volley. Only fired that were Immediately in read, and all was>ttil|as dsatii.

It was Stonewall Urtiina Better would It have bssn bad*' band that pulled a trigger to a gun that night fallen dead than part In that disastrous killing.

That chattering genius of ths lbd tribe known as the poll-parrot is oro- ating something of a financial i 1 tion among fanciers, who find customers than parrots, but timid about holding their such prices as now preyftt that a,.Jfcg|india or Si fleet maFTre *ny imome the market. "Sure enough thereof a boom iu parrots," said a Ninth street dealer, "and we are getting high prices for the birds on hand, especial­ ly for Brazilian pets that can talk. The other day we sold a bird for #190, and we hold this one in the cage aire (pointing to a fine specimen oa.*' perch near by) at $125." i. W "O, yes. e sold the #150 parrot partly oh its merits and partly be­ cause it bore a" strong resemblance to the recently deceased pet of an old lady on Spring Garden street, who 'was as fond of her.bird as though it had been her daughter. But it w*S a Bright parrot, could whistle 10ES a flute and knew half a dozen such tunes as'Comin' Thro' the Rye.' 'Yankee Doodle,' 'Over the Fence is Ont»'S|kd •The Old Man's Drunk Again.* MO latter tune it learned from its late unto- tress, along with sundry profane < pressions, which cut down its vs! at least #50. A parrot that would split out half a dozen tunes without a cuss word, say 'good night' apd 'good morning* at the proper times, and would not fight with the house* c*t» 7,-ould, in the present condition of the market, fetch #250." "Is the parrot market corneredf* "O, no. That was tried once, and a New York firm bought up all Hie talking parrots in the country quietly, at fair prices, and waited for a big raise. Just as the corner was'ioOut to succeed two vessels sailed into Now York harbor wtih several hundwd birds on board, and the pool, WS* broken, the syndicate losing over #100,000 on the deal. "But that was not so queer as the bad luck of a captain who bopght over a hundred or more parrolsio 1884. He left Rio about two nMtipNl before the presidential election, Slid thought that he would make a ,tspec" by teaching the birds to say 'hstffeii for Blaine.
