R- Sanford, of Newark, who raised Company B of Sid N. J. Zouaves, and want to the front with them, said to a transient companion one day last summer: “Yes, I was in eight of the fiercest battles of the war; Seven Pines, Malvern Hill, Savage Station, Missionary Ridge, and Harrison's Landing are in the list. 1 started to go with Sherman to the sea, but my right leg was shattered by a ball at the first engagement after the great march began. After the amputation I was taken twentylive miles and left in a tent at Ringgold, Ga. A rain same on and my tent was flooded. Then I was started On my way to Chattanooga, 2*o miles distant. Jdst try to imagine the horror of that journey to a mam in my condition. For years afterward I was shaken with every exertion. Yes, the doctors prescribe, as/they always will when you ask them, but ] keep my own-'doctor now, and he never opens his mouth.” “A dumb doctor?'' exclaimed the Captain's caller. “ Yes, dumb as a mummy, but smart as lightning; there he is,” pointing to a bottle of DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY standingjon a corner shelf; “ I take that. When 1 1 am run down it winds me up; when J am weak it strengthens me; when I am‘oil my food ’ it gives me an appetite; when I am excited it quiets me.” Remember name. Dr. David Kennedy’s FAVORITE REMEDY, Kondout, N. Y. Judge Ritchie, of Maryland, has fourteen handsome daughters. Of course they arc all angels, for “Ritchies have wings.”— Texas Siftings.
