HEALTH BOARD ORDER.

l'eopti' All Over tlifi State Must Clean Their Promises.

The. State Hoard of Health has pre pared the following' circular, copies of which will be mailed to secretaries of all the local health boards in the State: '•The true maxim, 'An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure,' is especially applicable to sanitary matters. With the approaching warm weather various causes of disease will develop unless means are employed to remove them. It is therfore important that a general cleaning up be had, and that the debris which has accumulated during1 the winter months be removed and destroyed in order that the people, as far as possible, may be protected from the ravages of diseases, which are in a great measure preventable by attention to well known laws of hygiene. "The Hoard therefore orders that you institute and carry into effect such measures as in your judgment will best be calculated to insure immunity from unnecessary sickness, suffering and death. "The necessity for and the useful ness of boards of health can best be demonstrated by shielding the people from such maladies as may be averted by proper sanitary methods under the directiow of health officers. "Call the attention of the public to these matters through the public press. ]»y order of the Hoard. "C. N. MKTCAI-F, M. 1).. "Secretary."

WAR REMINISCENCES.

Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits of the Civil War—How to Procure Tliem.

A little more than thirty-three years ago the pro-slavery leaders put into execution their plans for the secession of their States. South Carolina moved first, and with the six Gulf States formed the Confederate States of America. Mr. Lincoln left Springfield on the 1st of February, passed through the principal northern cities, made brief addresses at the various points and reached Washington on the 24tli. In his inaugural address on the 4th of march he declared the Union to be perpetual, argued the futility of secession, expressed his determination that the laws should be faithfully executed in all the States, deprecated the impending evils, and made a touching appeal to all friends of the Union. Of the seven members of President Lincoln's cabinet, four had been Democrats, and three Whigs, two were from border-slave States. The chief places were given to W. 11. Seward, of New York, (Secretary of State) and Salmon P. Chase, of Ohio, (Secretary of the Treasury.) Edwin M. Stanton was made Secretary of War in 18(52.

On April 12, 1801, the ConfederateGeneral Beauregard attacked Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor. The Civil war being thus commenced President Lincoln called a special session of Congress, summoned 75,000 militia for three months, and ordered the enlistment of 05,000 regulars for three years. He proclaimed a blockade of the Southern ports and endeavored to make it effective. The Southern Confederacy had control of eleven States, and put into the field 100,000 men. The struggle, which sanguine statesmen predicted would be ended in a few months, was proclaimed over four months, with dreadful sacrifices of men and means. Further accounts of the military and naval events of the Cival war belong to general history Anticipating the interest that the public evince at this time, "Frank Leslie's Scenes and Portraits of the Civil War" has been prepared, and is just now being issued in weekly parts. This is a magnificent work and when completed will be the-most reliable and authentic pictorial history yet published. The illustrations, of which there will be over 500, were reproduced from pictures drawn from sketches made on the spot by a corps of famous artists engaged for that purpose by Mr. Lesley. Among these pictures will be stirring battle scenes, hand-to-hand conllicts. deadly duals between famous war ships, portraits of all the leading generals of both armies, etc. In addition to these splendid pictures there will be a complete, concise, and interesting description of the progress of the war from beginning to end. Part one is now ready for delivery. For three coupons out from the columns of this paper and ten cents in coin, we will supply our readers with each part as issued.

Darlington vs. Sliannondale.

Special to The Jo jrnal. One of the duties of R. G. Kise Post is to decorate the graves of soldiers in the cemetery at Sliannondale. Their custom has been .to send a committee of three over there on the 80th, but from some cause the committee failed to report this last time and the Post decided to go in a body and chose Sunday, June 2d, as the day and 3 o'clock as the time. The notice was short and and a great many knew nothing of it, was all that saved Sliannondale. By 1 o'clock Sunday every available turnout in Darlington was on the way, led by the Darlington Band. Then the country people fell in line to see what was to be done, and the result was one of the largest crowds ever in Shannondale, assembled in the Presbyterian church, and after a short scripture lesson and prayer by the pastor. Rev. Black, a beautiful programme of recitations and songs were gone through with, after which a procession was formed and marched to the cemetery, where the graves of fifteen of the defenders of our country were decorated with the stars and stripes and beautiful flowers, thereby beautifying their graves and commemorating their deeds of valor and showing to the country that although they are dead they are not forgotten—after which all returned home feeling that the afternoon had been pleasantly and profitably spent— and we trust that from this time on Sliannondale may wake up and each year hold Memorial services and decorate the graves of their friends, who lie there, and by so doing teach ps-tri-otism and love of country to the young and rising generation.

Another advantage this day will be to them—kind friends will meet, clean and arrange the cemetery for the occasion and they will find that all will look forward to the day when we decorate at Sliannondale. S. S. M.

Fifty Years Old.

The fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Young Men's Christian Association occurs this week, the first Association having been founded in London June 0, 1844. In unison with the hundreds of others throughout the world, the city and college associations will hold a jubilee service next Sunday evening in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium in which the churches will also unite. The work of the Young Men's Christian Association is a magnificent one. and the services this week, all over the world, mark a period which is of great interest to all friends of young men.
