DYSPEPSIAT p to a few weeks ago I considered

myself the champion Dyspeptic of America. During the years that I have Been afflicted I have tried almost every thing claimed to he a specific for Dyspepsia lit the hope of finding something that wotild afford permanent relief. I had about made up m y m ind to abandon all medi­cines when X noticed an endorsement o f Simmons Liver R egulator by a prominent Georgian, a jurist whom X knew, and concluded to try its effects in m y ease. I have used but two bottles, and am satisfied that I have struck the right thing at last. I felt its beneficial effects: Almost im­mediately. Unlike all other prepara­tions of a similar kind, no special instructions are required as to what one shall or shall not eat. This fact alone ought to commend it to all troubled with Dyspepsia.

“It is not far. and I am not afraid, but I ’m glad I happened to meet you, for I have not an opportunity to tell you how much I enjoyed your sermon, When I think that yon were a black­smith’s apprentice, aud then consider what you have made o f yourself,! can­not help admiring your genius. Yes, you must let me call it so. That de­scription which you gave us hist night o f the Jericho road was nothing less. Uncle said so as We rode home. He said it was fully equal to some things o f Mr. lieecher’s. ami I am sure that is a great compliment fo r a young man. Then what opportunities you have had! I was born in Smyrna, while my parents were spending a year abroad, but they brought me home a baby with onlv my name as a souvenir o f my Old W orld birth. Hut I have always been wild to return to live in some one o f those Eastern countries which you have visited. I hope you will tell us more about them to-night.”

‘•Orient,” said Ilalsey in his despera­tion. for the first time venturing to rise her name. “ I am a wretch, unworthy to speak to you, and too cowardly to confess the whole truth, for i f I did you would spurn me, and I could not bear that”

They had reached the church-door. Orient could not reply, but she gave him her hand w ith a look which said, •*I believe in you, in spite o f yourself.”

ila lsey hardly knew what he r ia l ; he spoke vehemently, crushing his own heart, and taking a savage delight in the idea that lie was destroying his prospects. I t was only a poor atone­ment, but it was something. H e strode down the aisle after service, hardly recognizing those who pressed forward to speak to him. H e informed the deacon mendaciously that there was a matter upon which it was necessary for him to speak with the doctor that night, and brushing by the elder Miss Pearce who was holding her lantern with a meek air o f expectation, he waited among the young men who were grouped by the steps for the ap­pearance o f Orient. The lamplight was reflecting from her silken shawl, and it seemed to him with a radiance like that from an angel’s wing. The young men made w ay for him to pass, an d Halsey drew her arm within his , own. “ I shall hear my condemnation from her lips,” he thought, and braced himself mentally to endure it, with the assurance that whatever her blame it would be less than his desert. He was silent and she did not speak until they had left all companions and turned into the lane, leading to the parsonage, then she said: “I under­stand what you said to me before church now. and I honor the man who had the courage to stand by his own conviction, even in the face of certain rejection and the ruin o f his worldly* prospects. I t was grand to see you standing there and avowing views which could not agree with those of your congregation. Y ou reminded me o f the young professors before the Ro­man tribunals in the time o f the first persecutions. Aud I want you to know that whatever may he the action o f the church upon the morrow, I ad­mire yon and respect you with all my heart.”

Halsey’ s heart gave a hound. This young girl loved him; he was sure o f it, and everything else went for noth­ing. XVliat was the part lie had play­ed? Nothing, A nd before he realized what he was doing he had told her that her good opinion was more to him than that o f all the world beside: that with her love he could face contumely and scorn, let it come from whatever quarter, and it seemed to him as he spoke that he was really a martyr for the truth, instead o f the poltroon ■which he had called himself a few mo­ments before. I f she would only re­spond with a like assurance he could make a clean breast o f everything. But Orient only replied reasuringly that there would be no contumely, and that even i f Ramoth Gilead did not give him a call, her father’s opinion of him would not be lessened. “ H e has a great deal o f influence with the Board,” she added, “ and he has some nice ap­pointment in view for you. H e want­ed me to come up here on purpose to hear you preach, and he was very curious for me to give him my opinion o f you. H e seems to think that you were still an invalid, and lie will be glad to know that yon were so strong.I suppose it was your sea voyage and foreign travel that benefited you.”

A deadly certainly grew upon H al­sey’s mind. H e had never heard Ori­ent’s fam ily nume mentioned, but be was sure now that this was Dr. Corco­ran’s daughter, aud that he had sup- plauted his friend. H e was not pre­pared for this, and he tried to put the conviction from him—to believe that it was not so* “ Orient,” lie said, as the clock struck, “ can you believe that we have actually been acquainted only twenty-four hours and about the same number o f minutes ,

“ 0 , i t . cannot he possible,” she ex­claimed: “ what an imprudently short acquaintance to become engaged upon. But I know your whole life from the time you were a blacksmith’s boy to the present, and all your wanderings in Palestine.” Ilalsey winched, but did not- interrupt her. “A nd father knows you-so thoroughly and respects you so highly, and both he and mother have talked to me so much about you, W hen I came hack to my room’ it was full o f reminders o f your presence. That explanation of the unpardonable sin which you made in my books were interesting to me, though I confess that I was indignant enough at first to think that you had read my silly jot­tings. I was not so prim as I seemed to be when I declined corresponding with you, for I was secretly pleased that you had learned to care fo r me in such an odd way. Oh! indeed I assure you that I would never have fallen in loye with you in this disgracefully precipitate way withou t that long men­tal preparation.” .

Clearly-it w as no time- now fo r Hal­sey to explain that he had no connec­tion w ith the past she treasured. He accepted the situation recklessly, with all the advantages which it conferred upon him.’ “ So the actual, does not copae up to your Ideal?”

“ You are very different,” she replied, ’musingly, ’ not a bit as I had imagined you. You are very worldly looking. I never would have thought yon a minister if I had met you anywhere else; but then you are handsomer than I expected, and so wonderfully talent- e;l. I am proud to think you should care for little me. And I, no doubt,- am very different from what you im­agined. Are you greatly disapponted V

Of course Ilalsey protested that he was not, and he parted from her at the parsonage gate with many assurances of his devotion; and, however false their relations to each other, these at least were genuine.

h i .Ilalsey sat thinking deeply far into

the night. l ie reviewed every possi­ble plan for avoiding confession and for keeping up his assumed character, hut he saw that this was impossible. Orient has told him that she was to return home upon the morrow, and he had agreed to accompany her. On the journey the explanation must be made. Every "moment of delay made it more difficult,- and he bitterly regretted that he had not been more honest with her. However, to have firmly made up his mind to thro w off the mask was some­thing of a relief and lie awoke the next morning with a hopeful feeling, and his usual confidence that some way things would come out right.

As lie was not to lay aside his role during the morning, he determined to deepen the good impression which lie had made upon Orient, and to select tiie sermon which he was to preach be­fore the fellowship meeting solely with reference to her tastes. lie hesi­tated some time between “ Buddha and his Philosophy of Despite,” a discourse of Dr. Newman’s, and “Tho Parables of the Talmud,” by the Rev. Charles Eaton, but finally settled upon the first as more coniplimentary to her intellect, lie was a little disturbed to notice, on taking his place in the pulpit, that Or­ient W as not in the choir, the eldest Miss Pearce occupying her place at the organ. All through his sermon he kept his eye fixed upon the door, hop ing to see. her enter, but only to be dis­appointed. l ie knew, too, from the strong stare with which his hearers confronted him, that his audience did not care a penny for Buddha or the re­ligion of .India. Only Miss Pearce seemed in the least interested, for she had - just read ‘Air. Itaacs,” and had, beside Iter reputation as a philosopher at slake. The business meeting was called immediately after the sermon, and Ilalsey, leaving it to its delibera­tion's as to his eligibility, hurried over to tho parsonage. He was informed by the servant tliat Miss Corcoran had left town on the noon train. He was struck with sudden anprehension.

“I understood tnat sue was going on the afternoon train.”

The servant believed that she did intend to do so, but bad changed her mind. Halsey next asked after the doctor. He had driven Ms niece over to the station and had not yet relumed; he would come soon; would not the gentleman wait? Halsey concluded that- lie would do so, and was shown into t’ne doctor’s study. A volume o f sermons by Henry Ward Beecher lay upon his desk, open to the very one he had abridged for ins prayer-meeting talk. The doctor had evidently looked it up from a haunting suspicion that its resemblance to Beecher’s style was not entirely accidental. Orient’s sud­den' leave-taking was explained; she had found this, and it was enough. She did not wish to see him again. lie rose quickly and left the house, not earing to face the doctor now. He walked across the fields to the deacon’s house. It was deserted, for tiie discus­sion over his case was very warm and the meeting not yet over. He sat down and wrote an impassioned letter to Orient, making a clean breast of everything and begged her mercy. -Is he sealed it lie noticed that the con­gregation were dispersing, and the dea­con soon after entering the room.

‘I ’m powerful sorry,” he said, “but there was a good deal of feelin’, and the motion to give you a call was lost. You see your sermon yesterday evenin’ wasn’t considered quite authordox.”

Halsey wrote the doctor an explana­tion for the sake of his friend’s good name, but he did not feel obliged to confess to the deacon, who conveyed him to the station, and was profuse in his regret over the vote of the church. A t the station he mailed Ms letter to Orient-, and returned to Ms friend Steele, whom lie found in a milch more hopeful state. The fever had been broken, but he was very weak. “ You must help us keep his mind in a cheer­ful, calm condition,” the local doctor said to Halsey, before he went up to his room. When Andrew Steele in­quired about his friend’s experience at Ramoth Gilead, Halsey told Mm that he had explained the state o f affairs to the pastor and had simply read three sermons; that of course under the cir­cumstances there could be no call to the pastorate, nor did he see how Ms interests could be affected very much even though Dr. Corcoran must under­stand that Ms health was not in so fa­vorable a state as he could wish.

“ I made the best o f everything,” Halsey assured Ms friend; “it is only a little longer waiting, and they will be willing enough to do that,”

“Thank yon,” Andrew Steele mur­mured, and Closing his eyes he slept as peacefully as a child. When he awoke his mother handed him a letter. “ You look as if you were able to read it,” she said, “and I suspect it is from your friends, the Corcorans ”

It was from Orient; the young man recognized the graceful script at once, though he had only received one letter from her. He opened it with trem­bling eagerness. But what did it mean? She had always imagined Mm the soul of honor. She had loved him for his goodness and unworldliness; it was hard to give up her ideal of Mm, but now everything was changed. Ho explanation on either side was necessa­ry, he must understand and she could not forgive.

“ Believe me,?’., she wrote, “ that my own happiness is greater than any yoa can suffer. To have cherished an Ideal as I have done, and allowing to Chester about- it all that was holiest and ten- derest in my thought is not a slight thing, The discovery that I have been utteiiy mistaken lias given me a shock from which I shall never recover. I have been in a dream, and the awak­ening has been cruel. I only hope that I shall never hear from you again as occupying the sacred desk. For me at least and against love you have committed the unpardonable sin.”

Andrew Steele lay dazed. His mind was in too weak a condition for him-to connect his friend’s readings at R a­moth GRead with this letter. It was as i f lie had received a heavy blow up on the. head- H e lay stunned a long time, but-when Halsey came in lie had

•risen from- Ms bed and was preaching wildly -to an imaginary congregation on the sin that hath never forgiveness, Halsey led him to his bed and com pelled him to lie down. Then he no­ticed the letter, read and concealed it. He saw that it was mailed from a way station and had been written on the train, and therefore before Orient bad received his letter o f confession. Why

I had lie delayed making it- when he was with her? A ll regret was useless

now. Ho laid Ms hand on Ills friend’s pulse. He had no fever, and Ms hopes rose, but he was wildly delirious and incoherent, and the mother seriously alarmed by this new turn in her son’s condition, which had been pronounced as very encouraging when the physi­cian lust called. “ I think we had bet­ter summon Dr. Corcoran,” she said at at length; “ lie understands Andrew’s case and cured him once before.”

Halsey telegraphed at once, and anx­iously awaited the doctor’s coming at the country station. The train paused and two "passengers alighted. That portly gentleman with the gray whis­kers lie knew must be Dr. Corcoran, and—Orient had come with him. He stepped up quickly, a great delight showing through the huniiliation which crimsoned his face, hut Orient forestalled any explanation.

“bo, she exclaimed, a hue fire flash­ed from her indignant eyes, “ this was a piece of deception like the rest, and you-are not ill with brain fever. 1 might have suspected as much.” She wheel­ed about and was walking rapidly from him when her father laid his hand upon her arm.

“ Orient,” he said, “1 thought it was Andrew Steele who was ill.”

“ IFho then is this impostor?” she asked, scornfully.

“Did you not receive my letter?” Ilalsey asked, .humbly. “ It is true that you have been deceived, hut not by Andrew Steele.” And once more he made his miserable confession.

Orient regarded him with'keen, mer­ciless eyes. “I do not see why you should tell me this if it is not true,” she said; “ it certainly is not eompli- mentafy to yourself.” She did not speak to him again on their way to the house, and they all eiitered Andrew Steele’s room together.

lie was reading from an open Bible, and looked up vacantly repeating: “ Lest by any means when 1 have preached to others I myself should be a castaway.”

Orient stepped firmly to ills side, and taking Andrew Steele’s hands in both of hers, She said simply; “ I have made a great mistake. I have learned that I had no cause to write you the letter which pained you. I am Orient Corcoran. Can you forgive me?’’ .

Andrew Steele regarded her with an uncomprehending, unexpressionless stare.

Dr. Corcoran started violently, and leading Mrs. Steele aside, said to her; “This is worse than I had imagined. It is not brain fever or nervous pros­tration ; it is insanity.”

The poor woman uttered a sharp cry. “And he cannot be cured?”

“I did not say so. We will talk it over.” And be called Ms daughter in­to another room for a consultation.

“ They will stay all night,” said Mrs. Steele to Halsey. “May I ask you to take your tilings to neighbor Brown’s so that I can arranga your room for tiie young lady ?”

“Yes,” he replied, “ if I can be of no assistance.” He felt that he was set aside .as a useless thing, and crushed and indignant lie removed his effects.I will see her in the morning,” he said

to himself; “and make one more ap­peal for myself,” for. now Orient was busy with Ms friend talking with him, gently and patiently trying to lead him back to the actual. Sore of heart and utterly miserable, lie retired to his new room spending the greater part of the night in framing excuses and argu­ments which might recommend him to mere)’ . A t last, completely worried out, he fell asleep, and, tired Nature vsserted her right, it was late the fol­lowing morning when he awoke and saw that a traveling wagon stood be­fore the Steeles’ door, and that “ his friend” was being helped into it. He hurried across the fields and saw that Dr. Corcoran held the reins while Andrew Steele, propped with cushions, occupied the back seat. Orient was bidding farewell to Mrs. Steele at tiie door of the house. He joined her, and taking her bag walked with her to the gate. It was only a short space, but it was Ms last opportunity, for they were taking his friend to their own home, intending to drive all the way by easy stages.

“Orient—Miss Corcoran,” he said des- parately, tiie words tumbling over each other in their eager utterance. “1 beg of you not to walk so-fast, and to listen to one word. We have heard a great deal lately about the unpardonable sin; tell me in mercy has mine been that?”

She looked up at him with eyes that were full of hope and happiness, “Fa­ther is sure that we will save him,” she said; he is confident that when we get him back to my little room, with everything arranged just as it was dur­ing Ms last visit-, Ms mind will go back to that time; Ms mind will start fresh from that point, and all this sad interim be as nothing.”

“ They were just behind the lilac bush now, which shielded them from tiie view of the occupants of the car­riage. “Of course I am, glad to hear that there is. hopes for my friend,” Hal­sey said, “but you cannot expect me to he indifferent to my own interests. Is there no space of repentance? Shall you always despise me, always think of me with detestation?”

“Ob, no,” Orient replied, forcing her­self to think of him for a moment, for indeed all her thoughts were centered on her patient. “Do not imagine for a moment that I shall cherish resent­ment, or remember what has happened very long, for I shall probably never meet you again; and what do I know o f you? Hot even your name? You were only connected with my life by this distressing experience o f Mr. Steele’s. You are nothing to me.”

As Halsey saw the train start lie was filled with bitter remorse. He thought he should always consider himself a murderer if his friend Steele should not recover his reason.

After a few days, however, he pluck­ed up courage to call on Mrs. Steele. She received him kindly, and lifted a little off Ms heart by telling him that her bon had shown marked improve­ment since he arrived at Dr. Corcoran’s.

Upon Halsey’s return to the city lie heard from his friend’s mother from time to time, and at last, to his infinite relief, learned that Steele had entirely recovered his reason, and in’s health was otherwise much improved.

About a year after ward appeared the announcement of the marriage of Steele and Miss Corcoran, and shortly after this they sailed as missionaries to the East. Ho notice, of the marriage, however, was sent to Halsey. He was simply ignored. But lie felt that Ills punishment was far - less than he deserved.

The Pain From a Pugilist's Blow:.It lias been said that the hurls suf­

fered in pugilism are particularly se­vere, and that but few pains equal ihe pain resulting from a blow o f the fist squarely and forcibly delivered upen the nose. A n incident which goes to support tills allegation is reported from Paris. A lion .tamer in one of the Boulevard shows was set upon by a powerful aud irritable old lion whose cage he had entered according to habit in tiie course o f an entertainment. The beast made his attack without warning or particular cause, and in an instant the man was upon his back be­tween the lion’s paws. Tiie spectators screamed, thinking it was the end of the lion tamer, hut, like a flash, he was upon Ms feet, and, striking out with Ms right in accurate pugilistic style, lauded Ms fist upon the lion’s nose with a spat that was heard all over the plaee. The lion wheezed and sneezed and hacked away, shaking his head and shutting his eyes as If dazed, while the man stepped quickly, but with dignity, out o f the cage." The blow was a good one, and if it had fal­len upon a man would undoubt­edly have “ knocked him out.” Evi­dently it made the lion tihgie from tiie spot where it was delivered to the tip of the tail.:—Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Driver Ants.'There are certain ants that show

wonderful intelligence, and tiie driver ants not only build boats hut launch them, too, only, these boats are formed of their Own bodies. They are called divers because o f their ferocity, n oth ­ing can resist tire attacks o f these lit­tle creatures. Large pythons have been killed by them in a single night, while chickens, lizards and other ani­mals in Western. A frica, flee from them in terror. To protect themselves from tiie heat, they erect arches under which numerous armies of them pass in safety. Sometimes the arcli is nuule o f grass and earth gummed to­gether by some secretion; and again it is formed by the bodies o f the larger ants, which hold themselves together by Lheir strong nippers, while the workers pass under them. A t certain times o f the year, freshets overflow the country inhabited by the drivers, and it is then that they go to sea. The rain comes suddenly, and the walls of their houses are broken in by tiie flood, hut instead o f coining to the surface in scattered hundreds, and being swept off to destruction, out o f the ruins rises a black ball that rides safe­ly on the water and drifts away. A t the first warning o f danger, the little creatures run together and form a solid balL o f ants, the weaker in the centre, and in this way they float safely into the branches o f a tree.

Higli-Priceil Violins.A curious history has been told of a

Stainer violin, for which, many years ago, the father of Gen. Morgan Heville, of Cincinnati, gave 1,500 acres o f land, at tiie time worth a dollar an acre, upon which, however, a large portion of the nourishing city of Pittsburg has since been built. Stainer grew insane in his later years and was confined to his house at Absoui, where the wood­en bench to which he was chained may still be seen. Tradition says that as fie walked through the forests he would carry a sledge hammer in hi3 hand, with which he was wont to strike the trunks of the trees so that he might test their resonance.

The extraordinary duration of tiie life of Stradivari will account for the great number of instruments (some thousands or so are said to be still ex­isting), reputed to have been made by him. The highest price ever given for a violin, unless we take the pres­ent value Of the land handed over as above mentioned for the Stainer in­strument, was for a Strad. The violin referred to was sold in lSSO for literal­ly more than its weight in gold, as on weighing it the price paid was discov­ered to be at the rate of §200 per ounce.—All the Tear Round.

W hat the Dude Said.A pretty advanced specimen of tins

class was paying court to the daughter o f a clergyman. He was invited to dine at the house, and the young lady assured him that he had better pre­pare himself to return thanks at the dinner table, as her father always ask­ed his guests to do so.

“X really cawnt. 1 couldn’t do it, you knaw.”

“B ut you must,” said his sweetheart, “or your chance is gone.”

“ Ah, well, I will twy, but I ’ ll make an aw’ ful mess o f it, ye knaw.”

Dinner time came and tiie clergy­man "politely called upon the young man to return thanks as the young lady had predicted. H e gave a despar- ing glance at Ms sweetheart, folded Ms hands and said :

“All, there! A w fu lly jo lly spread. Thanks, awfully!”

There was no marriage.

Consumption o f W hisky DecreasingGovernment statistics findthat since

1S40 the use o f whisky has fallen off one-half in tiie United Stato3, svhile the use o f wines has increased about 40 per cent. The consumption o f beer has increased from 1.80 gallons per capita in 1S40 to 11.01 in 1SS6.

This may be considered a favorable showing as there is choice even o f evils. Were those addicted to the drinking habit to abstain entirely from the use of whisky and confine their libations to the wine cup or the beer mug. drunkenness would be less frequent than it now is. It is asserted that tiie police records o f large cities Show that the number of arrests for drunkenness has decreased quite stead­ily since 1S-L0.—New York Commercial News.

Business.A Georgia newspaper illustrates the

average Southern negro’s poor busi­ness ability, by telling o f one who ask­ed the price o f coats in a store, The storekeeper offered him various gar­ments cheap for cash, but tiie darkey would not buy, and finally the mer­chant picked out a coat that cost him one dollar and sixty-five cents an d i f ­fered it to the negro for ten dollars, agreeing to take two dollars in cash and trust him for the balance. The customer jumped at the offer, and, without even trying oil- the coat, paid tiie two dollars and went away happv in his ability to owe eight dollars. The Storekeeper will not worry if he does not get the money.

T he C hicago Inter-State E xposition.

The great inland City o f America now comes to the front w ith Its F if­teenth Consecutive Annual Inter-State Exhibition o f the products o f Science, Industry and A it , opening Wednesday, Sept. 7, and closing Saturday, Oct. 22.

The Mammoth Building is now crowded with exhibits from almost every part o f the civilized world, illus­trating every department o f human activity, with its latest and best prod­ucts. I t is impossible to do this great collection justice by noticing it in de­tail. In some important respects it has never been equaled at any tempo­rary exhibition, and in scarcely any respect has it ever been excelled. A ll railway and transportation lines give reduced rates to visitors, and there is every indication that the usual atten­dance o f about 500,000 w ill he well nigh doubled.

LIFE IN V EN EZU ELA.

The Climate — J.uxi-,rIous Monies anill ’riucely Entertainments.

There was something almost uncanny in the air. W e were only 3,000 feet up, and still the pulse grew quicker, breath­ing was more rapid, a little giddiness came occasionally, and there was a curi­ous sense of sound in the noontide still­ness of the scene.

"Walking soon caused fatigue, and we might have been not a little uneasy about, our apparent weakness, if our good friend, Maj. Scott, had not assured us that it was due to the change o f ele­vation; that the same thing happened to him, and that it took only a few days to grow accustomed. Beside that change, we speedily found another. AtLaGuaira, it had been uncomfortably warm, not to say hot, bat at Caracas a double blanket was always needed on one’s bed, and the mercury was rarely up to 55 degs. be­fore 7 a. m. More than once a little fire would have been thankfully wel­comed. Native ladies wear white largely, but foreigners rarely find the air warm enough to justify a change from, their home attire.

Streets in town are wide for the tropics, and. well paved, though with narrow sidewalks. As a rule, houses are built o f only one story, fbrfear of earth­quakes, such as have devastated the city more than once in days gone by. Outer walls are plain and somber, hearing no relation to the luxuriant interiors. Around a spacious patio or court, filled with trees, flowers, ornamental fruits and a fountain or two, the house spreads its colonnades and opens wide its doors. Forbidding enough to strangers, the portal is no sooner passed than the scene is one of true home like comfort, of every accessory that taste and money can provide. They live like princes, these Caraqnenos o f f lie uppermost grade, and their hospitality is as free as a Persian’s. They have carried the study .of entertain­ing very far, and their dinner parties would be difficult to excel in New York or Paris. Such floral decorations as adorn every table in Caracas could only be obtained in New York at a first class florist’s, and at great cost.

It would be difficult to find in any land more charming women than the Caraquenas. Spanish descent has given them a grace of figure and o f motion that is all their own. Their pure moun­tain air and sans souci mode of life fur­nish a complexion that would fas verit­able velours de rose, i f they would omy keep detestable powder aw.ay from it. Their constant association with distin­guished natives and diplomatic foreigners who largely give tone to a capital, lias promoted a quickness o f mind as well as a courtly bearing that aocords with then- fine figures. And they have, beside, .a politeness that is wholly native. We found our acquaintances of a month fast growing into friends before the goodbys came, and we are resolved to greet them again some day not too far away.

Among the leaders we were glad to see two o f our .own .countrywomen, who, .al­though adopted Venezuelans now, with charming fajhiJ&s growing up around them, are still and always Americans, with hearts and hands open to theiy wan,

' deriug countrymen.Amuseiuents are many and varied.

Of late' years B^idapf; Guzman lias exercised good taste in pro­hibiting those bloody scenes of the hull ring that have so long disgraced Madrid and Havana; and the national entertain­ment, deprived o f its cruelty, sgem§ to have- lost attraction. Cock fighting re­mains, however, and the excitable, ner­vous crowds who go pt every chance o f witnessing it, seem to enjoy it verymuch,—|)r, W , F.' Hutchinson in Ameri­can Magazine,

A n Old Scotch Tradition,The following appears in Bayard Tay­

lor’s “ Views Afoot” : “ The Scot was speaking with great bitterness o f the be­trayal o f Wallace, when I asked him if it was still considered an insult to turn a loaf o f bread bottom upwards in the presence o f a Monteith.” This reference is thus .ex­plained: Sir William Wallace was be­trayed into the hands o f Edward by Sir John Monteith. It is generally said, and

the tradition of the country 'avers, that the signal made for rushing upon him unawares was when one o f Ids pretended friends, who betrayed him, should turn a loaf, which, was placed on a table with its bottom or flat side uppermost, and in after times it was reckoned ill breeding to turn, a loaf in that manner if there was a person named Monteith in the company, since it was as much as to remind him that his namesake had betrayed Sir W il­liam Wallace.- The Argonaut.

A Cause o f M illc In fe ct io n .The recent papers on tho subject of the

milk alkaloid tyrotoxicon show one cause for milk infection. It now seems certain that, as this alkaloid or ptomaine, tyro­toxicon by name, has come to ho recog­nized as a cause of illness, it will be sup­plemented by such bacteria as thoso al­luded to. Certain inexplicable cases of milk or cheese poisoning, when analysis shows no tyrotoxicon, may thus bo ac­counted for. Cream cannot well be heated, and may he the vehicle for con­tamination. Ico cream thus may pro­duce illness. It has been definitely proved that cold has so little effect on bacteria that the freezing of ice cream is but a slight safeguard, if any.— Scientific American.

A n Undiriatory Theory o f Odor.That odor is, like light and sound, a

phenomenon of undulation is tho belief of M. P. Lcclerc. He urges that it is more reasonable to suppose that the odors produced by rubbing certain substances— like sulphur and camphor—are due to the waves set up than that the rubbing causes matter to ho omitted which can­not bo detected except as a smell. The garlic odor of heated axsenious acid is a smell accompanying chemical action the same as in many other cases we have light or heat in connection with it. With somewhat imperfect apparatus, M, Le- clerc claims to have produced interfer­ence of odors analogous with tho inter­ference phenomena o f light.— Arkansaw Traveler.

Am ong tho Ghilzais,Before a good many of the tents there

stood a rude tripod, consisting of three poles tied together near the top. Sus­pended to these were goatskin churns, which were operated by two women jerking them smartly back and forth. The art of making such butter as we are accustomed to seems to be unknown among these people; but they obtain from then- goat milk a tasteless substi­tute, called xuus-cal, which represents the fatty properties of tho milk. An­other production obtained from it is mast, a thick, tartish preparation, which, with bread, forms the staple food of the Ghilzais; in taste and consistency this mast somewhat resembles clabbered milk. A very palatable and sustaining article of food for using on the march is prepared by making mast up into dumpling like balls and drying them in the sun. Bush­els of these portable articles of food were spread out to dry on the drooping roofs of the tents and on cloths on the ground.

By another process is made a very wholesome and refreshing drink called doke. In taste and appearance doke is closely allied to buttermilk, but by some peculiar process is endowed with proper­ties that keep it fresh and wholesome for an indefinite period of time. A Ghilzais starting for a long journey across the des­ert takes on liis camel a goat skin full of this doke and a liberal quantity of the sun dried mast balls. Half a bushel of the latter and a skinful of the former provide him with wholesome and appe­tizing food and drink for a week’s jour­ney.—Thomas Stevens in New York World.

Worlc Am ong tlio Indians.Grace Howard, the well known jour­

nalist’s oldest daughter, writes home from the Crow Creek Mission, Dak., where she has comfortably established herself, that her plans for the betterment of the industrial condition of the Indian women are already under way. She has not gone west as a teacher, as the papers have reported, hut her scheme, which is an original one, is to open on a small scale an establishment for the cutting, fitting and manufacture o f clothing and other household articles which the Indi­ans now beg from the missionaries or buy when, as does not often happen, the agents have any for sale. Her work is for her own sex. “ Indian girls,” she said to me just before her departure, “ are like white American girls in one re­spect at least; they will not go out to ser­vice. They do not make good servants, and, aside from housework in the fam­ilies o f the officers on the frontier posts, there has been absolutely nothing for them to do. No wonder they sometimes drop back into barbarism. I want to give them a chance industrially.” Miss Howard is in her early twenties, a fine looking girl, very much in earnest,— New York Mail and Express.

Coptic Religions Rites.On entering a Coptic place of worship

one would hardly imagine himself in other than a Greek church. Intbevesti- bule there is a large basin for vtashing the feet, where, ever Jan. 18, to commemor­ate the baptism of our Lord, the water receives an especial priestly blessing, and then occurs excessive bathing therein by the men and boys. But they observe the day with more gusto in tho river. After the Nile itself has been baptised by pour­ing in some consecrated water, the entire Coptic male population may be seen swimming about. As each dives, another, standing by, says; “ Plunge, as thy father and grandfather plunged before thee, and remove El-Islam from thy heart,” To return to the vestibule trough, it is also there where, on the eve of this day, on Duly T h u rsd ay , and at the Feast o f the Apostles, the priest washes the feet of the whole congregation! The Coptic clergy must be made o f sterner stuff than most, —Egyptian Cor. Cleveland header.

T h e P ra ct ice o f In terview in g*The practice of interviewing has been

carried to a great length, and has been much .abused. Cases have arisen wliere published interviews have been declared genuine when, as a matter o f fact, the article was the offspring of the brain of some clever but unscrupulous reporter. But in a great many instances, even the ordinary interviewer is .a blessing to the public, giving, as he does, correct and timely notice o f catastrophies and casual­ties which bqt for him might remain un­known for hours or days. In the case of a great accident, say on the railroad, the reporter Is the first on the spot .ascertain­ing .the .details, placing the blame where it belongs, and enabling the public to jqdge of the .cause.

WHEN SUNSTROKE IS IMMINENT.

And THiat to Do TVlicn I t Occurs—Its Symptoms and Treatment.

When, during the heated term, one who lias been exposed to tlio sun’s heated rays begins to suffer from headache, gid­diness, nausea and disturbance of sight, accompanied with sudden and great prostration o f tho physical forces, sun­stroke is probably imminent.

I f such a ono will take time bytfie forelock and immediately retire to a cool place, making use of some simple restora­tives, such as aromatic ammonia, etc., he may be spared further trouble; but if he persists with liis business he will doubtless soon become very ill, which ill­ness usually takes tho form, of heat ex­haustion, heat apoplexy or genuine sun­stroke, the thermic fever o f some writers.

Those who arc exhausted by the heat have a cool, moist skin, a rapid, weals pulse and respiration movement and tlio pupil is dilated. In fact these symptoms are those of collapse. These patients will probably recover promptly, an event which may be hastened by the use of a tonio and restorative treatment.

Those who suffer from heat apoplexy frequently become unconscious at the outset. The heart and breathing appa- paratus is not markedly disturbed and the pupil may bo normal, but the un­consciousness deepens and the case runs on to a fatal termination. An artery has been broken in the brain and the poured out blood pressing on the nerve centers brings about the fatal event. A treat­ment calculated to draw tlio blood from the brain to the extremities—hot foot baths, bleeding, etc., promises to be the most useful in such cases.

The thermic fever patient is uncon­scious and convulsed and liis body tem­perature may bo 10 S or 110 degs. Fahren­heit—that is, 10 degs. above normal. The slrin of this patient feels as though it would burn your hand when laid thereon. In this case the thorough and prompt application of cold is needed. Ice to the head and cold water to the body generally will be in order. Medical ad­vice shorid bo promptly had in either of tho two cases last referred to. Com­plete recovery from sunstroke is rare, the brain being permanently crippled in many cases. Residence in a cold cli­mate affords sorno hope for such patients. —Philadelphia Times.

The Many Uses of Paper.This is the age of paper, and an exhi­

bition o f paper objects and manufactures would fittingly commemorate the bi­centenary of the first paper mill hi this country next year, to be held at Phila­delphia, the birthplace of tho trade. Paper is the receptacle and disseminator of science, the products of art and litera­ture, tho great means of keeping indus­tries and commerce thriving. It barrels our flour, wraps our goods, enters into articles of personal weal* and household use, and when we die sometimes forms our coffins. r It rolls beneath our railway cars and forms our buggy tops, We eat off it, drink from it, wear it on our heads, necks, bosoms and feet, carry it in our pockets in lieu of handkerchiefs, and tile our houses, line our carpets with it, pack up our goods in paper boxes and divert our leisure moments with paper- cards. We make 500,000 tons yearly, import largely, and yet, like Oliver Twist, ask for more. Rags, wood pulp, straw, old rope, the bark of tho cotton plant, and even the membranes in the in­terior o f silkworm cocoons, yield it,— Western Manufacturer.

T ru e M ann ers an il T lie ir Im ita tion s .Manners may he either a revealer or- a

concealer of the true menial or moral condition of a man. When adopted as a veil to liide what is there, however in­genious the artifice, the beauty and grace o f truly fine manners cannot be reached. There will always be an indescribable something to dim their luster and cast suspicion on their- verity. The bland courtesy which covers up dislike or in­difference cannot command absolute trust; the gracious condescension which is often adopted to liide a mild contempt generally betrays it hr the end. The finest manners are thoso which express, frankly and unconsciously, the actual presence of fine qualities, in their most delicate shades. All mere imitations of them, where they do not exist; all artifi­cial airs and graces for the sake of ap­pearances are mere mannerisms, which soon become transparent and disclose what they are intended to hide.—Phila­delphia Ledger.

Divining the Oeenn.The suggestion of C'apt. Bartlett, chief

o f the United States liydrograpliic office, that an international convention be called for the purpose of assigning differ­ent portions o f the ocean, to each mari­time nation, will probably be favorably considered by congress. It is believed that this would prevent casualties at sea by ships running into floating derelicts. Gapt. Bartlett says hr his report: “ Each nation would patrol its own portion of the ocean for the purpose of towing in or destroying all obstacles. Frequent re­ports are received of ships running into these derglicts, surd the number lost from this cause may be considerable. I f ship­masters felt that every attempt W3S being made by civilized governments to clear the ocean of these dangers, their anxie­ties, which are sufficiently great from purely natural causes, would bg mater rially relieved.” —Boston Budget,

HOW TO LEABA TO SWIM.

R oys am i G irls >vlj.o W a n t t<f IVoo tli<?W ayes ^ lio o ld C arefu lly llpatl T ills.Books are full o f elaborate directions

for learning jo swim, and ip the large citipp there are schools where the art pah be acquired nt all season? o f the year, but it is safe to say that spy child having or­dinary courage can safely he taught or can teach himself to swim by the follow­ing simple method:

Find a place where the water deepens gradually, as an ordinary beach. Often in a small, stream there are pools nowhere too deep Tor‘s'iifeiy, Brocuto a "band op belt to go around tlio bust under the arms, with small bands over tho shoul­ders to keep it from slipping down. To this belt attach a safety lino of such length flrat thp learner cannot go into tho water deeper than the whist, ,v

The first thing td be done "is to learn to duck without minding it. Hold your breath and put your head under water- several times whenever you bathe. You may probably strangle a bit at fust, but the ducking will: become’ less ‘ Arid legs disagreeable until the disinclination to go under water nearly or quite disappears.' 6 l course the bather need'1 no't make A martyr of himself by spending his whole jime in the practice of ducking. Ho may splash abqnf; as mvjpjj gp fie likes. Some acquire the necesstey indifference to being under water almost at once. When it is acquired let the bather select a plapp wl}cre the water is just deep enough for him t? sit uppn the hoffim} with head mid shoulders out ‘ of ’water. Then let him take .a full breath, ’ distend­ing f.fae Iung^ apd, pJaeing liis arms fay liis sides, lie down on liis back on the bottom. If unsuccessful, "partially expel the air from the lungs and try again. After having found out by actual experi- qient how easy it is to lie down on your back qnder watery go out to ..the full

length o f your ropoYmd, holding your breath, pull yourself in toward the shore, hand over hand, not letting your feet touch bottom on any account until your breath gives out or you m u aground. No matter whether you go under water or not, no matter whether you keep your­self right side up or not, go right on hauling yourself toward the shore, hand over hand, till you reach shoal water.

When you can run yourself ashore with ease and certainty you will prob­ably have discovered that most of the passage is made at or near- tho surface of the water, and possibly you will have learned after a fashion to keep your "bal­ance and pull, yourself ashore with your nose above water. When you can do this, you can breathe through your noso during the passage, and as soon as you can breathe comfortably while hauling yourself aslioro you aro ready for the next stop, namely, try to pull yourself ashore using ono hand for the rope and paddling with the other hand. This is not a very easy thing to do, and in all probability before you can accomplish it you will find yourself paddling with both hands and kicking with both feet—that is to say. swimming. As soon as you find that you can keep yourself right side np, mid your eyes and nose above water, you have learned the great secret, and swimming with the most approved and scientific stroke will ‘follow, accord­ing to your opportunities and ambition.

These hints are intended to meet the most clifficrdt csiso possible, namely, that of a boy who is obliged to depend alto­gether upon liis own resources. I f he has some ono to help and advise, so much tho better. Ho will probably learn, to swim Lire quicker, but he must haul him­self ashore or the object of the lesson will ho lost.

These directions aro based upon tho well established fact that no one can be a confident swimmer who is disconcerted at finding himself unexpectedly under water. Therefore tlio first thing to be learned is to catch the breath instinctively under any and all circumstances the in­stant you find yourself going under water. Strangulation occurs in consequence of

■ drawing water with tlio breath into the air passages, and even partial strangula­tion is unpleasant. The first thing, then, for the would bo swimmer to learn is to instinctively keep water out of the wind­pipe. Tliis can best he done by frequent voluntary duckings.

In the rough swimming school of boy­hood forcible duckings, often to tlio verge of cruelly and danger, arc frequent inci­dents, and any preliminary practice will be an excellent breaking in for what most hoys are likely to encounter.

The succeeding steps are intended to teach the beginner by experiencing that Iris body is really lighter than water and will float with a trifling amount of aid from au- in the lungs and from mechani­cal Assistance with the hands and feet.

Once learned tliis lesson is never for­gotten, and after a little practice in diving and swimming under water the novica will find himself gaining a degree of con­fidence that is indispensible for satisfac­tory swimming.

The foregoing is intended for girls and women as well as for /oys and men. Women are usually, for obvious reasons, a little reluctant to wot their hair. They often learn to swim easily and gracefully without knowing how to hold the breath. It follows, of course, that when they find themselves doused suddenly into the water from an overturned boat, or other­wise. plunged unexpectedly beneath the Surface, they become partly strangled, lose all presence of mind and are not bet­ter off than if they could not swim a stroke. Let it then be borne in mind by all swimmers that the best way to learn how to swim is first to learn how to sink. —Charles Ledger Norton in New York Mail and Express.

they are prescriptions having been used with great success by old and well-read physicians. Thousands o f invalids have been unexpectedly cured by their use, and they are the wonder and dretid o f Physicians and Medical Col­leges in tlie U . S., so much so, -that physicians graduating at medical col­leges are required to discountenance Proprietary Medicines, as through them the country doctors loses his most profitable practice, A s a manufactur­er o f Proprietary Medicines, Dr. G. G. Green, o f Woodbury, N. J, advocates most cordially—in order to prevent the risk that the sick and afflicted are lia­ble to, almost daily by the use o f pat­ent medicines put out by inexperienc­ed persons for aggrandizement only, and the employing o f inexperienced and incompetent doctors by which al­most every village and town is cursed; and men claiming to be doctors who hacl better be undertakers, experimenting with their patients ancl robbing them o f their money aud health—for the good of the afliicted that our govern­ment protect its people by making laws to regulate the practice of medicine by better experienced and more thorough­ly educated physicians, anil thereby keep np the honor and credit o f tlie profession, also form laws fo r the re­cording of receipts o f Proprietary Med­icines, under examination and decision o f experienced chemists and physicians appointed for that purpose by the Gov­ernment, before they are licensed for general use. H o would most freely place tlie reeeipe o f Boscbee’s Ger­man Syrup and Green’s August Flower under such ’ laws, had he the proper protection, thereby save the prejudice o f the people, and avoid the competition and imitation medicines. — Copied from the Chicago Mail.

Harrow Escape.—Friday evening as Mr. W hite’s little boy, in the west part o f tow n, about twelve years o f age, was taking a cow to pasture, hav­ing a long rope to her horns. She be­came frightened and ran. The boy held to the rope and soon became tangled in It, and was dragged about the lot until the cow became tired o f the sport. One o f John W ilber’s girls ran to his rescue, and found him with the rope around his arm, neck, body and legs, and he in an insensible condi­tion, badly bruised and no bones brok­en. Ilis eyes were full o f sand, and it was at first thought that one o f them was destroyed, but he is recovering, and will be all right again in a few days.

Field, o f Elkhart, Ind., has moved his fam ily and tools, including engine, two lathes, planer, drill, etc., and has bought the Im hoff lot, on Portage street, opposite the Kingery & Marble mill property, and w ill put up a ma­chine shop as the work can be done and arrangements completed. Mr. Field is the inventor and patentee o f a double engine using but one cylinder, by which he utilizes a double use o f steam, an d it is the expectation to build up a business in the manufac­ture o f these engines as rapidly as fils means will admit. H e has a good start for a large manufacturing estab­lishment, and it should be made to prosper.

The adjourned annual school meeting was held in the high school room Mon­day evening. The director’s report was read and approved. B. D. Harper and John E. Barnes were elected as trustees three years to succeed B. D, Harper and Seth Smith. 82,600 was voted to pay bonds and interest, 8200 for repairs and 875 to buy apparatus. The question o f fire protection for the school building was discussed, as to the ability o f the fire department to reach the school building with the ap­paratus on hand, from the creek south o f the building, and the necessity o f building a cistern that will hold 1,000 barrels, or two o f that combined capac­ity. A s no one appeared to be posted on tbe question the trustees were in ­structed to make an investigation and report to the meeting which adjourned to the same room Monday evening Sept. 26. In the mean tim e a trial will likely be bad by the fire company to reach the building with the steamer from the race, and it might not be a bad idea for the board to extend its deliberations to fire escapes. There is. one stairway fo r children to come down in that building and any fire started under that and in the cellar! might shut a good many children into the upper story with n o means o f es­cape.

Y esterday afternoon as John W eb­ber was digging in the gravel hank in the rear o f the M. C. depot, the bank caved in, nearly burying him.

One o f the most Interesting estab­lishments on the St. Clair river is the R iver Y iew poultry Farm which is situated upon the old Earned place about three miles south o f this city. The establishment is owned by A . C- Merrill, o f Detroit, and is conducted by his son C. E. M errill who resides upon the premises. The business is in its infancy and the buildings as yet some­what incomplete, A cursory descrip­tion o f the place w ill undoubtedly he interesting to m any o f our readers. The main building, 10x20 feet and tw o stories high, is useu for hatching and brooding purposes and the attic for pigeons. There is a wing on either side 20xS0 feet, making the length of the entire building 170 feet facing the south with innumerable windows and sky-lights to admit light and warmth. Extending south, from the wings there are eight runways, 20x100 feet each enclosed with galvanized wire netting, giving ample accommodations for 2,000 fow ls. There are at present up­wards o f 800 fow ls on the premises. AVith the rapid process o f steam hatch­ing, tbe buildings w ill soon be filled to their utmost capacity. The establish­ment covers about ten acres o f ground which w ill be exclusively for the poul­try. In addition to this industry Mr. M. carries on the fishing business, em­ploying several men and horses during the fishing season o f the, year. Our re­porter, in company with F.AY. Zimmer­man n, visited the farm one day last week and were handsomely entertain­ed by the proprietor.—Marine City Be- porter.

M’OLELLAFS LAST BATTLE.

.Lee's Invasion . of Maryland Twenty-five Years Ago.

Mow Stonewall " jackson’3 K en Sang w3Iy IUarylaucV> on the I’otoniac. “ The lo r d Bless Xour liaggod, B iriy Sonls!1’—le e ’s Xost Dispatch—Hattie o f tho Three Mountain rnsscs—Cap­ture o f Harper’s- Ferry l>y tlid Confed­erates—Tho Sunlcen Koad at Sharps- bui——Bunker Church,In tho consternation that reigned at Wash­

ington after the second battlo of Bull Itun, Aug. SO, 18t’2, XIalleck wrote a hasty note to SlcCIelian, as follows: ‘-Yon will retain the command o f everything in this vicinity not temporarily to bo Pope’s many in the field. I beg o f you to assist mo in this- crisis with vonr ability and experience.’*

McClellan, at the . timo of receiving this note, was not in command o f anything to speak of. His arm y had been mostly sent to Pope in Virginia. Halleck's order meant that McClellan was to take command o f tho defenses o f tho city o f Washington, and that Immediately.

A fter the bloody light o f Chantilly, Sept. 1, (Jen- Pope’s Uuiort army— What was loft o f it—straggled into Washington, ragged, foot­sore, and half starved. They wero allowed to rest and pull themselves together again fo r a few days within tho intrenebments of the city. Meantime, Pope once more re­quested to be relieved o f his command mid sent back west. His request was allowed. Sept.. 7 he turned his face westward, and his back on that eastern army which he believed had never supported him sincerely. Many o f his countrymen shared the same opinion. It was declared that had McClellan hurried Franklin’s and Sumners corps forward to the support o f Pope, ns he had been ordered to do, the Union defeat at the second Bull Run would not have happened. Ili.ra-e Greeley, in his ‘Am erican Conflict,” says so in so many words. Ho writes: “Had they been there two days earlier, and had Torter now and then condescended to obey an order, that defeat might have been transformed into a victory.” „

A t any rate, whosesoever tho fault, Pope’s bloody and. unsatisfactory campaign was over. H is star in the east had gone down. The eyes o f the country once more turned to McClellan.,' Those first years o f the war were, on the Union side; a desperate hunting after great generals.

Sept. ;S, President Lincoln and Gen. Hal- leelc placed McClellan, again at the head of all the eastern army. They personally called at his house and asked him to take command again. The A rm y of Virginia was no more, and the reorganized A rm y of tho Potomac rose upon its ruins.

The army in Washington having rested, still formed a5 fine a body o f fighting men as need be. Rest brought back their old spirits, recruits poured in from all quarters, and soon ’fUJed out tho skeletonized regiments. Sept, 7 McClellan led out o f Washington an army S3,00t) strong. A new campaign was to re­store the confidence o f the country in her T oung Napoleon.

-Bants was left in command o f the defenses at Washington. 'McClellan: led out from the city the First, Second, Sixth, Ninth and Twelfth arm y corps, commanded respect­ively b y Hooker, Sumner, Franklin, Reno and Mansfield Gen. Couch’s division o f the Fourth corps was attached to the Sixth. Fitz John Porter, with his Fifth army corns, joined McClellan Sept 1L The total strength o f his army is put at this date at 101,246. Of this splendid arm y, Burasido commanded tho right, Stunner the center and Franklin the left. Gen. A lfred Pleasonton had charge o f the cavalry, m this order the arm y o f the Potomac advanced, once more to tr y con­clusions with Lee and his men. They did not exactly know where Lee was vet, but it was not long till they found out.

Maryland, my Maryland!. So tho devoted southern poet, James R.

Randall, had sung some months before, and the song was on every Confederate tongue September. 1S63.

Meantime* where was: Lee? • •The war had up to that time been chiefly

waged in what was regarded as ConfeSerate territory’ Stonewall Jackson had long been eagerfo change this tactics and carry the war into Union territory. Both he and Lee had been easting an eye over Maryland. W hy not cross the Potomac into Maryland b y one o f Jackson’s famous foot cavalry inarches, subsist on the country and threaten Washington from the north?

There was a feeTuiginthe south thatM ary- land, geographically, politically and socially, belonged to the Confederacy. The state con- taihfed many secession sympathizers. It was

'believed that the sight o f Lee and Jackson and the stars and bars once within their bor­ders would rouse all the Confederate enthu­siasm that slumbered in. the breasts o f the Marylanders.

Gens. Lee;.and Jackson resolved to invade Maryland. , ?Lee ^ u e d a proclamation to the people o f ’that state* telling them that he was: coming among them to aid then; in throwing off that foreign yoke which had inflicted such wrongs and outrages upon the citizens o f a ■commonwealth allied to tho states of the .south b y the strongest tics.

CoL Bradley Johnson, a Confederate Mary­lander, was, authorized to get recruits for the southern arm y in liis native state. He invited his fellow citizens to join the Confederate ranks. “ W e have arms for you,” ho said. “ Let each man provide himself with a stoat pair o f shoes, a good blanket and a tin cup. Jackson’sm en bavenO; baggage.”* Lee only waited f o r D. H . Hill’s brigades from Richmond to join bim, thus increasing liis battle worn and storm beaten armysome- w hat; then, September 2, ho pushed on to- Wards tlio Potomac and the north. Jackson went first, Sweeping swiftly forward. He forded the river a t Point of Rocks, thirty miles below Harper’s Ferry, and raised the Confederate flag in, Maryland.

W hen Jackson reached midstream crossing the Potomac, it roused all the suppressed, en­thusiasm o f his nature. He paused, a mo­ment, gazed across to the northern shore and waved his hat. His soldiers caught the move­m ent! cheer on cheer rent the air, the bands struck Up “ Maryland, M y Maryland,” and ten thousand voices caught the refrain. So the Confederate arm y entered Maryland. Lee followed immediately behind Jackson. The Confederate arm y amounted to about 70,000 men in all. They advanced swiftly on the town o f 'Frederick, Md., reaching and takingpossessiffiKof. i t September G.

“ The Lord bless your ragged, dirty souls,” said a zealous southern woman to the ad­vance.

The march had been so rapid that thou­sands dropped b y thq w ay and only 60,000 entered Frederick. I f there had been any­thing triumphant or spectacular in their ap­pearance, bad they come with waving ban­ners and snow white plumes and shining new uniforms, they would have obtained far more recruits fo r the southern army. The instinct for the dramatic, the poetic and tho pictur­esque, ever alive in tho southern breast, ■would not have been appealed to in vain.

But Lee’s men, brave and tried soldiers though they were, were dirty and ragged and hungry. M any of them had no shoes, aud marched with bleeding feet and travel stained garments. I t was not very poetic, neither inviting. The recruits Lee and Jackson had fondly hoped fo r were net obtained in any great numbers. W hen it came to the scratch, Maryland seemed more Fed­eral than Confederate, yet it- was at Frederick that the incident which gave rise to Whittier’s poem o f “Barbara Friet-

chie” o c c u r r e d . W e have the au­thority o f the his­torian Lossing that there really was a Barbara Frietchie, and that sho died in 1SG4. Sho is said to be buried at F r e d e r i c k ; She

McClellan had been puzzled to know what Leo would do next after the battle o f Chan- filly . jg e knew b y Septepjbec-7 that thgy

had crossed info Uavjrlahn. . H e IbfloweiT, but was uncertain which route Lee would, take from Frederick. Ho advanced on that town, but slowly and cautiously, overesti­mating, as be bad done before at Rich­mond, tho strength o f Loe’s army. He reached Frederick Sept. 13 and occu­pied i t after a skirmish with Leo’s roar guard. Tho Confederates had evacuated tho place, but where had they gononow? Ho found out in a singular way. A copy o f Gen. Leo’s orders to his commanding generals had been left in I). H . Hill’s headquarters at Frederick, when the Confederate army quit­ted there September 10. The order was issued September 0, and was three days old when it Was handed to McClellan. It told him all ho wanted to know.

IC 1’ope’s dispatch book hail been captured by the Confederates a month before, and the

the great objective point o f Lee. This special; j. order became known through tho south as tho i " “ Lost Dispatch.” Gen. D. H. Hili, however, declares that it misled McClellan, and that- it did not amount to any thing anyway.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN.Sept. 14 occurred tho battle which is at tho .

north called South Mountain, but in tho south known ns Boonsboro. When tho Con­federates marched out o f Frederick, Gen. D.H. Hill had been left as a roar guard with tho reserve artillery and supply trains at the villnge of Boonsboro.

Gen. David Harvey Hill is one o f the sol­diers o f that stirring time who has lived to fight his battles o’er again in remembrance and to write his memoirs o f them.IIo was born in South Carolina in 1S24, graduated at W cst Feint in 1842, and served iu the Mexican war. A f ­ter that he resigned and became a pro­fessor o f mathe­matics. When the ,civil war began be k^0j0s?sp w.-is principal o f Qmilitary institute '"%&) /"vat Charlotte, N. C. P*He immediately en- GEX- H- H Iti* terod the Confederate service as colonel o f a North Carolina regiment. He was actively engaged throughout tho uhola war, having speedily become a m ajor general and division commander. He was a brother-in-law of Geu. “Stonewall” Jackson.

Ho displayed good generalship Sept. 14, 1SC3, at South Mountain.

On tho map o f Maryland will bo seen three short mountain ranges or spurs, running slightly east of north from, the left bank of the Potomac river. Tho most southerly is tho Catoctin, the next is the ridge called South mountains, while west o f that is the crooked, short Elk mountain range. They belong to the Bine Ridge system. It was all about this region, marching and counter marching, dodging through the mountain gaps, that the Federal and Confederate fought tho Maryland campaign a quarter century ngo. Pleasant Valley, often mentioned, is between the Elk mountain and South mountain range. Boous- boro is a village near the foot o f South moun­tain on its west side. Boonsboro Is thirteen miles from Hagerstown, which is on tbe northwest.

The battle of South Mountain, Sept. 14, was a series of short yet sufficiently bloody figbts around Turner’s Gap, Fox’s Gap and Crompton's Cap. These wore passes through which tho roads crossing South Mountain led. They were several miles apart, begin­ning with Turner's Gap on the north. Fox’s Gap was nexr, south o f that, and south of Fox’s Gap was Crompton’s Gap, towards Harper’s Ferry.

The famous “special order No. 191” told McClellan Lee considered tho possession of Harpers Ferry o f so much importance that he had divided his army to get it.

Stonewall Jackson’s command and W alk­er’s division had crossed the Potomac, Jack- son above and W alker below Harper's Ferry. Thence they were to come together and take the F erry .' A t the same time Gen. Lafay­ette McLaws was to approach the ferry from tho Maryland shore mid take possession of Maryland Heights, opposite the ferry, and thence aid in reducing the town. Lee him­self, with Longstreet’s division, D. H. Ilill as n rear guard, was to be at Boonsboro or Hagerstown, waiting till Harper's Ferry was reduced. J. E. B. Stuart, the cavalryman, was to send a detachment o f his men with Ceils. Longstreet, Jackson aud McLaws, each, and then with the main body o f his cavalry cover the route o f tho army and “bring up all stragglers.”

After capturing Harper’s Ferry Jackson, McLaws and Walker were to join the main body o f tho Confederate army at Boonsboro or Hagerstown. A t the time o f the battle of South Mountain Longstreet had already gone on to Hagerstown with his division, leaving only D. H. Hill’s rear guard at Boonsboro. He marched back, however, in time to finish the battle o f Sent. 14. Tho first attack was made on Fox’s Gap b y (Jen. J. D. Cox’s divis­ion at 9 a. m.

Jacob D. Cox is a native o f Montreal, Can­ada, born in 182S. He is, however, o f Now

E n g la n d May­flower stock. He studied law and practiced his pro­fession in Ohio till tho outbreak of the war, with an inter­mission as state senator. Ho joined tho Union army and shortly became ahrigadier general. Ho did famous ser­vice in W est Vir-

GEX. J. d. co x . ginia. After being attached to McClellan’s reorganized Arm y of the Potomac he commanded what was called the Hanawha division in Reno’s Ninth corps.

A t South Mountain Reno was killed and the full command o f the corps devolved on Cox. Gen. Cox was made a major general after the Atlanta campaign. A t the battle of Franklin, Tenn., lie rode forward with a drawn sword in. liis hand and rallied liis mem He was governor o f Ohio in 1S6G and United States secretary o f the interior in 1SC9. He is at present engaged in legal practice in Ohio and is president o f the board of managers of tbe Cincinnati university. He is a man of commanding presence and distinguished legal and literary ability. Ho has written several books and pamphlets on war history, one vol­ume being devoted to the Atlanta campaign.

Maj. Gen. Reno, the Ninth corps com­mander, came up to the scene o f the fighting late in the afternoon, and had scarcely reached the battle­field when he was killed. The Con­federate Gen. Hill says a shot from the Twenty-third N o r t h Carolina did it. O f Gen.Reno l i t t l e i s known, now twen­ty-five years after his death. He was a gallant soldier and fell on the field. That, per- ®EI1* JBSSE l . p.eno. haps, is enough to know. Ho was born in Pennsylvania in 1S25 and appointed to West Point when only 17 years old. Both Gen. McClellan and Stonewall Jackson were his classmates at West Point. He served with distinguished bravery in the M exican war and was wounded at Chapultepec. He was assistant professor o f mathematics at West Point for a time. During Ills brief career iu tbe civil war lie came into honorable notice whenever fighting was to bo done. He served with the army in the east

Before the battle of South Mountain Lee’s arm y was widely scattered. McClellan had nearly 100,000 men at his command, Lee less than 00,000 all told. McClellan recognized the situation, and made known liis intention to “cut the enemy in two and beat bim In de­tail,” Gen. Longstreet was at Hagerstown with his men, and between that and Harper’s Ferry, in Virginia, Lee’s lines were stretched out very thin.

I f McClellan’s army could pass through Turner’s Gap in South Mountain, lie would have Lee’s army really cut iu two, tho forces o f Lorgitreet and D. H. Hill being on his right, the rest o f them, fu lly half, around Harper’s Ferry. Movement with till speed was demanded.

Sept. i3, Lee heard that the Union army was approaching Turner’s Gap. Hill was faced about to meet them, and delay them until Lee’s forces could put themselves to­gether again. Hill left Boonsboro with all haste, and marched up South Mountain to Turner’s Gap. He reached the top in the early morning o f the 14th.

Another1 Sunday battle was that o f South Mountain. Fox’s Gap was a pass through which what was: called the old Sharpsburg road passed, and the next battlo after South Mountain was to be fought at Sharpsburg:

Gen. Garland’s Confederate brigade met Cox’s advance at Fox’s Gap. Garland him­self was killed about 10 o’clock, gallantly fighting, and Ins brigade routed. He was yet a. young man, and his death was greatly la­mented at tho sonth.

In the fight a t Fox’s Gap the advance lino o f Cox’s brigade was the Twenty-third Ohio regiment, led b y Lieut. CoL R . B. Hayes.

Lieut. Col. Hayes’ name afterward be­came more familiar to bis countrymen.

Tho place o f Gar­land’s Confederate brigade was taken half an hour after­wards b y that o f Gen, Geo. B. An­derson. I t in turn was repulsed b y Cox, who then fell back from his ad­vanced position to a w a i t rc-onforcc- gen . jo se iti h o ok er . ments. A t 0 o’clock they camo pouring in, WiHcox’s and Sturgis’ divisions and Harlan’s, Fairchild’s and Gibbon’s brigades.

Gen. Hooker’s division was sent to sweep around towards the north and do np tho light­ing at Turner’s Gap.

“ Fighting Joo Hooker” distinguished him­self at Sonth Mountain ns elsewhere. Ho was already a m ajor general o f volunteers, and commanded the First division o f tho First army corps (Burnside's). His namo be­longs to tho whole country, hut ho was a na­tive o f Massachusetts, born in 1S15, He wns graduated at West Point in 1837, and entered the artillery. Ho served in the Mexican war, hut resigned :it length from tho army and settled in California. He entered the United States volunteer service from that stare in 1861, and was commissioned a brigadier gen­eral. He was severely wounded at the battlo ot Antietam or Sharpsburg, which imme­diately followed that o f South Mountaiu. Early iu 1P0S tho command of tho whole Arm y of tbe Potomac was given to bim. He held it about six months, then was transferred to tho. west and served at Chattanooga mid through the Atlanta campaign.- Gen. Ilooker died on Long Island in 1S79.

Meantime, while the Federal army was re­ceiving re-enforcements at South Mountain, the Confederates had not been le ft without them. A t 3 o’clock Longstreet’s division came up, after a hurried march from Hagers­town. During tho forenoon tho Confederate general. Hill, bad had only live brigades with which to confront nearly all o f McClellan’s slowly arriving many. When Longstreet’s command arrived iu the afternoon there wero fourteen brigades an all, against eighteen Federal brigades, with all the rest o f Mc­Clellan’s many in tho roar.

The first advance toward Turner's Gap had been made on Saturday, Sept. 13, by Pleas- onton’s cavalry. This apprised tho Confed­erate.? that McClellan was close after them. Gen. Pleas,niton, however, on that day merely made a forward movement and retired, per­ceiving Colquitt’s and Garland’s Confederate brigades at the Gap.

The Confederate brigades o f Drayton, Daw, G. T. Anderson and Hood, of Longstreet’s division, after their arrival fronted Cox at Fox's Gap. On tho north, at Turner’s Gap, opposed to Hooker were the brigades of Robes, Coiquitt, Garnett and several others. A t Fox’s Gap the fight raged all day. A t Turner's Gap it raged only during tlio latter part of the afternoon. A t both points the Confederates were beaten.

That 14th of September was the day of mountain gap battles. Down at Crompton’s Gap there was yet a third fight. Tlio Con­federate general, Lafayette Mi-Laws, occu­pied Maryland Heights, opposite Harper’s Ferry. It was the day before tho surrender o f tho Ferry.

But Gen. McLaws kept strict watch over Crumpton Gap, in view o f the very con­

tingency that Mc­C l e l l a n ’ s army should seek to pass I t . T h o r o a d through Cromp­ton’s Gap led west­ward directly to the Potomac river at tho town of

^ Williamsport, Md. gs On the evening "" o f Sept. 13 Gen.

W . B. Franklin had been ordered to move his corps through Cramp-

ton’s Gap “at daybreak next morning.” Ho was twelve miles away. I f tho march had been made that night the fate o f battle might have been changed. Franklin would have passed Crompton’s Gap without opposition, and thus been safe between tho two parts of Lee’s army on the north and south. As it was, be reached the Gap about noon o f tho 14th. The Confederates wero fully apprised o f his movements b y that time, and McLaws had sent Gon. Cobb with three brigades to meet him. There was bloody fighting for three hours. Franklin and his men defeated Cobb, gained tho crest o f the Gap and passed beyond aud westward down into Pleasant valley, between South mountain and Elk mountain.

_ Gen. Lafayette McLaws rendered efficient aid to tho Confederates throughout tbe whole Maryland campaign, beginning at tbe siego o f Harper’s Ferry. He also distinguished himself at Fredericksburg and aftern-ards at Gettysburg. Gen. McLaws was a Georgian and a graduate of W est Point in 1S42. He served iu the Mexican war. His active fight­ing life continued through the whole of tho civil war, and he surrendered finally with Leo in 1865.

In what may he called tho three Gap fights on South Mouutain that Sunday, September 14.1802, the Federals were in every case act­ually victorious. But the strategic victory was all on the side o f the Confederates. That day gave time forLee’sscattered forces to begin to get together again. D. H. Hill say's that he was “fighting for_ time” all that bloody day. Ho gained It. I f McClellan’s army had crossed the jiasses even one day earlier Harper's Ferry might have been saved to tho Federals, and Lee’s army would have found it impossible to reunite.

South Mountain itself is not a single peak, bub one long, unbroken ridge, continuing many miles. A t its summit near Turner’s Gap is a point cailed tho Mountain House. From this elevated position tbe Confederate general Hill gazed on the approach of Mc­Clellan's army in the valley below. Far as the eye could see in the distance, the march­ing men came on, column upon column. “It was a grand and glorious spectacle,” says Gen. Hill; “I had never seen so tremendous an army before. I did not see ono like it af­terwards.”

HARPER’S FERRY,A t the time Gen. Lee ordered Jackson,

Walker and McLaws to close in upon Har­per’s Ferry and take it, it was hold by 9,000 troops under Col. Dixon S3. Miles.

GEN. H’LAWS, C. S.

HAP OP harper ’s pe rr y .Gen. Julius White was at Martinsburg,

Va., a Federal Outpost some miles away, with 2,500 men.

Military critics from the safe distance both of time and space say now that when news came that Lee’s whole army was in that vicinity, though on the Maryland side of the Potomac, tho garrison at Harper’s Ferry should have either been strengthened or tlio place evacuated and the troops sent to join the main Union army. Neither was done, al­though McClellan had recommended that the Ferry should bo abandoned, as it was of no great strategic importance. But Gen. Hal- leck thought Harper’s Ferry must bo held at all hazard, just ns Lee thought it must be taken at all hazard,

Lee’s “special order No. 191” informed McClellan that Jackson was to cross the Po­tomac and take possession of Martinsburg, Va., and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad at that point. McLaws was to take possession o f Maryland heights, then of the town of Harper’s Ferry, opposite. Walker was to cross the Potomac below Harper’s Ferry, move up the Virginia side and posses him­self o f Loudon heights and co-operate with McLaws. B y referring to the map the reader will see where the points named are situated.

The story may be told briefly. Harper’s Ferry was surrendered to tho .Confederates Sept. 15, with all the garrison, -except tho cavalry, which had escaped. There was sharp lighting. Col. Miles received a wound Horn which he died next day. A t the ap­proach o f Jackson Gen. White, with his little command, had left Martinsburg and'joined Miles at Harper’s Ferry. Miles being- wounded, it was White who surrendered the garrison b y advice of a council o f war. There have been few points of controversy during our civil war more hotly discussed than whether Miles should have surrendered Har­per’s Ferry. The surrounding heights com­manded the place completely, and these speedily foil into possession o f the Confeder­ates, because Miles had not men enough to man them.

A fter Col. Miles’ death his action in yield­ing up Harper’s Ferry was censured b y tho government. Gen. Julius White, in a recent number o f Tho Century, asks Uioso who still find fault with the surrender to explain how a garrison o f raw recruits, under fire for the- firsfc time, could hold three square miles against veteran soldiers three times their number, and occupying positions which com­manded the whole field.

Col. Miles had sent urgent messages both to H ailed: and McClellan that be could not

hold tho p la c e longer than Sept, 15 without re-en­forcements. T h o . slow marching o f tho A rm y o f the Potomac prevented these from reach­ing him. G e ii. White was ono of the officers com-

P^m ciidcd by the k Washington a u -

^ tlioritics for bis con. DIXON s.. MILES, conduct at Har­

per’s Ferry. Ho had been unwilling to sur­render it till a council Of war decided that itimKti be done.

Henry Jvyil Douglas, a Confederate officer ivlio witnessed tbo surrender of Gen. Julius White to Stonewall Jackson, speaks of tlio contrast iu appearaneo between the two. Ho says: ■

“ Gen. White, riding a handsome black horse, was carefully dressed, and had on un­tarnished gloves, hoots and sword. On tho other .hand, Gen. Jackson was tho dingiest, worst dressed mid worst mounted general that a warrior who cared for good looks and stylowould wish to surrender to.”

Gen. Lee’s idea in possessing himself of Harpqr’s Ferry was to gain a position com­manding both north and south. From Harper's Ferry ho could inovo north into Pennsylvania. This would draw McClellan's army away from the capital, leaving it de­fended by only a small force. Leo’s army could then inarch swiftly oil Washington in the rear, and perhaps even take tlio capital city o f the Union.

ANTIETAM, OR SHARPSBURG.During tho night of Sept. 14, after tho

fights on South Mountain, tho Confederate, commands of Longstreet and D. H. Hill withdrew to Sharpsburg, thus edging away from McClellan’s army and nearer tho Potomac.

th e a n t ie t a m b a t t l e f ie l d .It will be seen from the map that tho An­

tietam is a crook which flows neatly due sou tli through Maryland’ to tho westward of and nearly parallel with tho South Mountain. Across Antietam creek, and on its west side, is the village of Sharpsburg. A long Antie- tam creek and in and arouud Sharpsburg tho bloody battlo of the 17th of September was fought between tho forces of Leo and M c­Clellan.

Tho intervening days had given Leo’s army timo to collect itself. Harper’s Ferry sur­rendered to Jackson on tho 15th, and imme­diately he and Gen. Walker, with all their forces, sot out by swift marches to join Leo and relieve him of his peril. They crossed tho Potomac to the Maryland side at tho Shepherdstown ford, from which a road led directly to Sharpsburg.

Tho Confederates name the battle o f the 17th for the town, Sharpsburg; the Federals name it Antietam, after the creek. Lee’s fighting force a t Sharpsburg was only 37,000. He bad entered Maryland Sept 4 with not quite 57,000 infantry troops. Ho had lost nearly 30,000 men b y exhaustion and strag­gling in those thirteen days. In the battle o f Antietam McClellan had 87,164 men, 60,000 being engaged in the fight

Concerning this fight Gen. Longstreet speaks his mind from tho Confederate standpoint in liis usual free manner. Speaking o f tho night o f tho 15th, after Leo heard of the fall o f Harper’s Ferry, he says: “Right then w o should have retired from Sharpsburg and gone to tho Virginia side of the Potomac.” •

McClellan followed the retreat o f Hill and Longstreet on the loth. There was a slight skirmish oil the borders of the Antietam on the 15th. During all the 16th both armies wero busy preparing for tbe tremendous fight which they know was impending. By the 17th the Confederate Gen. McLaws, too, had been able to join Leo at Sharpsburg.

The morning of September 17 found most of McClellan’s army across tlio Antietam, on tho same side with the Confederates. Hooker bad crossed first, tho afternoon of tho Kith. There was on that day an indecisive brush between Gens. Hooker aud Hood. Gen. Hooker’s corps formed the extreme Fed­eral right at the battle of Antietam.

G e n . McClellan’s own headquarters were on tbe oast side of Antietam creek, iu the rear of his army. Dur­ing the night of S e p to m b or 10, G e n . Mansfield's corps also crossed the Antietam and camped a milo in Hooker’s rear.

There were four bridges ncross theGEN. JOS.K. F. MANSFIELD. Autfetam jn t h e

vicinity of Sharpsburg, and over these Mc­Clellan’s fighting men passed. Hooker began the battlo gallantly at dawn on tho 17th, attacking Jackson’s command on tho Confederate left. Gen. Lawton received the first shook. Hooker’s men carried all before them at first, throw­ing the Confederate loft into confusion. The Federals rent tlio air with cheers. Hook­er sent to Mansfield for support, and pressed on. Gen. Mansfield responded immediately, and was bringing his corps into action-when he fell, mortally wounded. A t 9 o’clock Hooker thought the battle o f Antietam was won. It was his understanding that tbe ’ action was to be genera), that while ho attacked tho Confederate left, the Federal center aud left wero to be moved against tho enemy at the same moment. He had driven back Lawton’s division. As far as was visible Confederates were retreating. As bo was preparing his batteries to sweep their turned ranks a shot struck him and ho was severely wounded. They carried him off the field to McClellan’s headquarters, and Sumner took command. But the Confeder­ates had not been defeated. No general a c ­tion was being fought. Hill, Hood and Stu­art hastened to tho relief o f Jackson, and In turn routed utterly Hooker’s corps, now de­prived o f their commander. But Sumner’s corps took its place quickly, and tho Federal corps of French and Richardson moved on tho Confederates. Gen. Richardson met his death here. Leo at once ordered up every man that could he drawn from the Confeder­ate right, leaving only 2,400. men there. These were commanded by D, R. Jones. Op­posed to them was the Federal left, compris­ing 14,000 men, under Burnside. His coni- mand had been divided for some unknown reason, and lie had been exchanged from tho extreme right, whore he belonged, to the left. His Ninth corps, under Cox, was the ex­treme left; liis First corps, under Hooker, was the extreme right. He himself remained with the lef If

Sedgwick’s division of Sumner’s corps re placed Hooker on the extreme Federal right. Tho fignt went on hotly. McLaws and Walker, recently from Harper’s Ferry, went into action on the Confederate left.. Sedg­wick was wounded, but continued in com­mand. Presently ho was wounded again and was forced to leave the field. Gen. O. O. Howard took command in life place. The Confederate general, R. H. Anderson, was also wounded in that fierce fight, and his place was taken by Gen. Roger A. Pryor,

A t noon that September 17 Gen. Franklin bad come up from Cranipton’s Valley with 12,000 men. They were 'thrown into action

in the center.On the Federal

left Burnside had been ordered to cross a bridge over tho Antietam with his Ninth corps. There was no delay in executing the or-

~der. The bridge wns [ at length carriedby | assault witb the loss o f 500 Union sol­diers. It has ever since been .called “ Burnside bridge.”

GEN. ROGER A. PRYOR. Not till 3 o’clock p. m. was tho Ninth corps ready for action. B y that timo the fighting on the. Federal loft was over. -

There was, however, more pr less fighting till dark. The battle o f Antietam was fought in woods and corn fields. The bloodiest por­tion was in tho vicinity o f ft peaceful small white JJunker church. _a little Jiorth. o f

Sharpsburg. Antietam^ too, like Waterloo, had its terrible sunken road. Thiswas a road to tho southeast ot Danker church and be­tween that and Antietam creek. When the fighting ceased that bloody day tho sunken road was piled oven full with tho bodies of Confederate dead.

Antietam was a drawn battle. The Fed­eral forces were not pushed into action vigor­ously.

McClellan had S7,l(ii men in tho battio Lee had about 40,000. Tho Union loss was 11,426, the Confederate loss 10,000: In thowhole canqiaign in Maryland tho Federal army lost 14,200, the Confederates 12,500. There was a fearful loss of officers on both sides at Antietam. There was no lighting on the 18th of September. McClellan was pre­paring to renew it on tho 10th. But tho night o f the ISth the worn and exhausted Confed­erates folded tlieir tents, and stole away down tho Shepherdstown road and across tho Poto­mac, five miles into Virginia.

The invasion of Marylaud was ended.Am ong officei’s killed at AntioUun were

sonic o f tho bravest and best on both sides.Maj. Gen. Israel B. Richardson was one

whoso death was greatly lamented. Ho was a Vermonter by birth, strong, cool mnl cour­ageous; He was born in 1819 and was g r a d u a t e d , front West Point iu 1841. It is nota­ble that the gen­erals in tho civil walr were almost without exception West Point gradu-7'ggjre^s^ ntos. Many o f ’

—^the servico and \wero iu civil N \when the fighting <*»*• m chardson . • began, but when the war nolo sounded the old military instinct stirred within them, the old military habit dominated them again, and they hastened to tender their services for tho contest.

Gen. Richardson was iu both the Seminole and Mexican Wars, anti- in all the hardest fighting of the Arm y o f the Potomac up to his death. He had only been appointed a major general July 4,1852. He was actively engaged at South Mountain three days be- foro receiving tho mortal wound at Antiecam. He did not die at once, hut lingered in a suf­fering state at Fry’s house, MeCielian’s head­quarters. whither he was carried from the field, l ie tiled Nov. 3.

Brig. Gen. George B. Anderson’s death cattsed profound regret on the Confederate side. Ho was yet a young man. Ho was on tho Confederate center, and was mortally wounded shortly after the fatal shot struck Gen. Richardson on the U nion side.

Tho brigade c f Gen. Roger A. Pryor, wlic took liis division commander’s place after the latter was’woundod, participated iu tho ter­rible fighting at tho sunken road.

The career of Gon. Roger A. Pryor is a notable instance o f the changes timo has brought about. A native of Dinwiddle county, Va., he was one of tlio most zealous of Confederates. Ho went iu poison to South Carolina to urge on the secession cause to tho point o f war. He fought for the Confederacy both in its armies and ill its congress. Once during the war lie was captured by tho Fed­erals mul imprisoned in Fort Lafayette.

And now, twenty-five years after he fought the North in tho bloody battle of Antietam. he finds liimsclf engaged iu a peaceful aud Iu crativc law practice in New York city When sometimes be sails down the bay for o pleasure trip in summer, or steams out of New York harbor in an iron ship for a longer journey across the Atlantic, as ho glides past tho Narrows, his eyes rest upon the green earthworks of old Fort Lafayette, where he was a prisoner nearly a quarter o f a century ago.

Very different w’as that utter irreconcilable, Robert Toombs, who also bore his share this bloody day at Sharpsburg. His brigade was

posted at Burnside bridge, to guard it from tho approach o f the Ninth corps. His position was a very favorable one, and from it his sol­diers mowed down Burnside’s men till

' 500 of tbc-m fell at that fatal bridge.

Toombs was a Georgian, born in 1S10. Ho was, how­ever, educated iu

GEN. ROBERT TOOMBS, the north, at Union college, New York. In 1S61 he was in tho United States senate from Georgia. On tho 7th of January he made his last speech iu the senate. I t was so remarkable that old mem­bers remember it and talk o f it to this day. He demanded the right to take slaves into all the territories o f the Union raid hold them as property. Ho demanded, likewise, that, slave property shoul d be protected in the f ree states.

“You" answer N o!” lie shouted. “It is the price of m y allegiance. I would rather see the population of my own, m y native land, beneath the sod than 1 hat they should support for one hour such a government.”

Gen. Toombs diednot long since in Georgia, boasting to the last that ho bad never been “reconstructed."

For six weeks after Antietam the Union arnry remained inactive in Maryland. Nov. 1 they crossed again into Virginia. McClel­lan was preparing for another campaign against Lee, whose army hail by this time been increased b y recruiting to nearly 70,000 men. Leo, when McClellan crossed the Poto­mac, retreated southward. He himself, with half iiis army, marched cp tho Shenandoah valley, thence to Culpepper, whore lie took position. Jackson, with the cavalry, was left three days’ behind him, to watch McClellan, and if possible attack him. This division of Leo’s force gave ilia Federals a favorable op­portunity for attack. McClellan was about to tako advantage of it. lie iuassedhis army near IWirrenton, six miles north o f Lee. He had resolved on a. battlo .speedily. Ho was even directing t he disposition of his forces for the attack when, all unexpected to him, an order camo Nov. 7, relieving him from command, and anooiutiii'" Gen. Burasido in bis place.
