We had done battle at Gettysburg, evei man had heen a hero. We had whiDPC
Lee, and knew he was badly crippled and without abundant ammunition. We had among ourseh-fs argued and wondered why Meade did noFlollow up the advantage he had gained. We longed, prayed, hoped in vain for Hancock, Sickles, or Doubleday, or cool yet impetuous Stannard, to lead us on and then and there crush out the fearful strife; but it was not to be; the timid Meade, ever cautious, was doubly so now. fie knew Lee was all "broke up," hia ammunition gone, his army huddled together, demoralized in that little horseshoe bend of the Potomac; the swollen river on one side, hills on the other, he would hare been easy game to bag; all along the roadside of his retreat we had found it strewn with sick and wounded, dead horses, and abundant arms. Their fight was rapid, but fatally interrupted. As Byington said: "Lee had exhausted tally all his ammunition in three days' tattle and could not replenish. Scores of his regiments had not a dozen rounds, and eouldget no more. Nearly all his artillery was without ammunition. Theee facts were known to Meade and his men, and were discussed by the soldiers every day that Lee lay cooped cp at Meade s merry, his retreat cut off by the Potomac, which was running banks full at the time, and p 'iitxc8 swept away. The timid Meade refu ed to attack Lee; staid right there four days. Then his boys stole a lumber yard, made rafts and floated over the river at their leisure. Good Uncle Abe said "Meade reminded him of an old woniatt trymgtoshooher geese across the . creek: " As soon as Lee ws across, then came the hot pursuit by Meade. We had bad several engagements, and now, after a teieu battle and a forced march to this place, we bivouacked weary and hungry, waiting "salt horse and hard tack," and the repetition of tramping and foolish, vain aajeitSce of life. -WeB, beys,ssM Sergeant Dick, "if we 'can't eat, let. us teed the ear with stories. - IH tell one.

together, confessed our love for Ldith, shook hands, swearing friendship, and to
use all honorable means and endeavors to
win her. As Edith's father was a lumber
man, like my own, I thought my chances were better, as I was her equal in all except education. Tom had the advantage of me in that; he could recite Moore, Burns, and
Meredith; besides he hod wealth. ku s time did not hang heavy for lack of sweethearts. We filled her pink ears full of
sweet word. She grew rosy, and her eyes danced like the stars; she was full of life
and fun, surely tantalizing with her bewitching laugh and ambiguous replies and saucy looks from her sparkling eyes. 1 can see her plainly now just as she stood at the little ashwood gate. With sad, mournful look and voice she bade me good-nii;ht and good-by. Well, boys, Tom, poo:- Tom; he staked all on his good looks and money; on a word; he never told me anything, but I guessed it by his looks and silence. His eyes, great heaven! What a despairing look I beheld in them! as for mo, well, as she bade me good-by at the gate she said she would write me, and I might guess her meaning. As the stage started I cast one backward look.

Tnfianmtatien in Eggs.
One of the most peculiar discoveries of recent date in regard to deleterious food matter is recorded in the ".Bulle
tin of the Tennessee State Board of
Health." Dr. D. F. Wright, in a late edition of that work, says that soon after it became the practice to transport eggs in large quantities and long distances br rail, it was found on their
arrival that adhesion had taken place between the membranes of yelk and
those of the shell, so that the yelk cosld not be turned out unbroken. On examination by experienced pathologists tiiis was found to be the result of true mnamination, and the material of
adhesion was also found to be precisely the same as in inflammation of the lungs. Dr. Wright continues : It wfll at first seem absurd to speak of innammation in such an unformed, mass aa an egg, bot this arises from ojir forgetting that, structureless and unorganized aa it seems, the egg, even -when fresh laid, is a living being, and capable of disease from external causes. The canoe of this infiammatioi is, undoubtedly the shaking and friction from the motion of the cars, and it cannot but render the egg less
wholesome, as the products of inflammation can never be as salutary in food aa those of healthy growth." New York Mail and Express.

The Knot and the Mile. The "knot" and the mile are terms
used interchangeable, but erro
neously so. The faot is that a mile is less than b7 per cent, of a knot. Three anil one-half miles are equal, within a very small fraction, to three knots. The knot is 0,082.66 feet in length. The statute mile is 5,280 feet. The result in difference is that speed in miles per hour is always considerably larger than when stated in knots, and if a
person forgets this and states a speed at as many knots, when it was really so many miles, he may be giving figures rergrng on the incredible. When we hear a person say that such a reasel is
eaoable of makmg Knots per hour,
we usually take the statomentwith a rery

miles per hour, a speea wnicn tew ressela bore made, and it is doubted
by some, who hare the best opportunity for making actual measurements, whether any resael has ever mule 25 Bales in 60 minutes. It has been said that some of the English torpedo
boats have made as high as 24 or 25 knots. Twenty-four knots are . orcr
274- miles per hour, and 'i Knots are
upward of 28 it miles an hour, distances
that are lncreoioie.

Unknown man, thought to belong to Erie, Fa. Homy Hike, resoucd alive, but who died from bis injuries. A dozen or more persons were seriously injured, some of them so badly as to preclude all hope of recovery. The excitement among the survivors was intense. The scene? in the smoking-car were most harrowing. The first warning that was given was the slight jar caused by the heavy pressure of the air brakes. Some of the passengers stirred themselveu in their seats, seemingly apprehensive of danger. Then came the terrible shock, followed by the smashing of windows and the roof of the car, and ail was a mass of bleeding and struggling humanity. Men covered with blood were locked in each other's arms, while underneath them and on all Bides lay the poor unfortunates, crushed out of all human semblance. The wounded crawled out of the debris, and were assisted to the neighboring houses.
People brought bedding, etc., on which to lav the dead nnd dvinsr. and did all they
could to relieve the buffering until the
arrival of medical aid. Mrs. 3. H. Sigel,
of Erie, Pa., a passenger, who was on her
way to Buffalo, said:
I was in the first coach next to the smokingoar. The passenger train was a large one, and carried a large number of excursionists, as well as regular passengers. The first we knew of the collision was a terrific crash ltke an oxploslan. Kniwlv waa hurt excant thosa in the smoking-

here were many horrible features con
nected with the accident. Two of the men
in the smoking-car had their heads pro

collision occurred. The head of ono of these was cut completely off, and the head of the othsr man was nearly severed from

brakes, but the distance was too short,
ana the engine ran over tne uniorrauate
trio, manalina them terribly. The train
was pulled up and the bodies taken to the depot. It seems that the parents ot the two girls had gone out of town, nnd had left the children in charge of Mrs. Dacey, who did washing for the families. The girls, who were between 8 and 9 years old, had gone onto the track to play, and Mrs.
Dacey had gone after tnem io onng mem back, when they all met their death. A cenlleman who was on the train says the
sight was a horrible one, as all three bodies
were ternoiy mangiea. j.ne woman was about 40 years of age, and the children pretty and handsomely dressed.
SLURRIED SIXTY MILLIONS.
Charleston special. Strenuous efforts aro being made to patch up the houses in a rude way to make them water-tight, and allow residences to be occupied and business to be resumed. Considerable excitement has been caused by the refusal of bricklayers to work for less than $5 a day. The objection, apparently, is not so mucb to the amount asked for as to tho character of the work done, many of those claiming the advanced rate being inefficient. Under instructions! from the Treasury Deporimer t Mr. Earl Sloan has visited th reported fissure on the Savannah ana Charleston Bailroad, and finds it doe t. the contiguity of a mill-pond, and not to tho earthquake. Mr . Sloan will visit the fissures in and about SummerviUe and
traverse tho whole lino of the South Carolina railway, examining the phenomena reported and observing specially any changes in levels of the earth. At a special meeti ng of the City Council Mayor Courtenay rejwrted that the amount of the relief fund to this time is about
Sinn.aon. He said further that with tbe
large meneure of relief necessary to reach the many sufferers it was hardly necessary
to say to tho Aldermen or tjaarieswn, now small this sum wordd be when divided among the sufferers. "To show," he said, "the grossest ignornriee as to the amount received and the uocids of the city, it has been deliberately smrgested that no taxes be levied next year, and the relief fund be
used instead. Astlw taxes in loots in
Charleston reached nearly SjKWu.uuu, it m
easily seen how fallacious and misleading
are such suggestions.

A Bwallow-tailud lackey opened the massive oakon doors, and tho party disappeared in the house. Tho marriage "ceremony was performed according to the rules of the Presbyterian obnrub. Congratulations were passed, and tho family sat down to an early dinner, which was made to answer for a wedding feast. Ni preparations had been made, and the whole affair was as simple and unpretentious ns could be. DntU seven o'clock tho house remained closed, and visitors who handed in their curds were
invited to call at another time. At that
hour the family coach aeain appeared at the door. Mr. Georce Gould bnndlod his newly

the house, aud Mr. Gould followed them.
The young man's handsome face was radiant. "Yes. we are married," he said, smiling,
