—the consumptive who's not bereft of judgment and good sense. He's taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If taken in time and given a fair trial, it will effect a cure. Consumption is Lung-scrofula. For Scrofula, in its myriad forms, and for all Liver, Blood and Lung diseases, the Discovery" is an unequalled remedy. It's tne only gi^arantecd one. if it doesn't benefit or cure, you get your money back. You only pay for the good you get. "Discovery" strengthens Weak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Bloo.i, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections. Don't be fooled into taking something else, said to be "just good," that the dealer may make a larger profit. There's nothing at all like the "Discovery." It contains no alcohol to inebriate no syrup or sugar to derange digestion. As peculiar in its curative effects as in its composition. Squally good for adults or children.

THE LIGHT BRIGADE
THEIR FAMOUS CHARGE AT THE
PASS OF BALAKLAVA.
Tennyson's Pasm and the Deed It Celebrates— How the Six Hundred Bode. The Cause of the Blonder, and the
[Copyright by American Press Association.] NQUESTIONABLY the household fame of the eharge of theLight
Brigade is due to ^.-Tennyson's strikSj^ing and dramatio fc* poem:
Half a league, half a league, a a a on ward All In the valley of death, Rode the Six Hundred!
It is true that at
Balaklava, where the daring deed cclebratI ed in tho poem took place, occurred the one great cavalry fight of the Crimean war. But it is also true that, as results are counted in war, the moat brilliant achievement on that field was tho charge of the Heavy Cavalry Brigade of English horse before the Lighc Cavalry Brigade went in. Tho heavies were 300 strong and they rode full tilt against ten times thoir number, or 3,000 advancing Russian cavalry, and put them to rout. This exploit figures largely, as it should, in all sober histories of the Crimean war. So also does the charge of the Light Brigade, but for a wholly different reason. The former affected campaign results the latter was one of those unfortunate affairs that lead to endless controversies.
The first turned the tide of battle and perpetuated the war won honors of England's chivalry the second was a tragedy which froze the battle ardor of an army of beholders ami in-lted their gallant hearts to tears. Tho oue was an act 6f war justly swarded historic fame: the other was a bloody episode that challenges attention and wins historic notoriety. Nevertheless the subject of Tennyson's grand poem WM worthy of the master hand that treated it. And that poem—all so marvelous, all so fanciful, all so thrilling—is only a plain statement of the truth. The Six Hundred did ride half a league along a valley of death. There had been a blunder and every man knew it, yet rode boldly on. There were cannon to the right, to the left and in front of them, and the month of hell did gape before them still they rode an. They did plunge into battle smoke, break Cossack and Russian line, while all the world wondered, for around that valley, on five mile* of sloping hillside, stood the allied armies and the opposing boat, looking down on the grandest spectacle that ever thrilled so great ttn audienee on the field of .Mors.
It is a poem of simple truth mounting te the sublimesc pathos, and for that reason it wears its way from one generation to another of the English speaking race, and the doings of the Six Hundred find a lodgment beside oar nursery tales, the ale house stories and camp fire narratives. And it never grows stale, but like "Home, Sweet Home" and "Last Rose of Summer" is always welcome. The shy and nervous school boy may shammer ov«r and mangle It and win applause, while the orator may rest his laurels on it to close a peroration. The star of tragedy who has won enduring fame tfi "sounding Shakespeare's noble numbers may score a new triumph and conquer obdurate hearts by stooping to a recitation with the Six Hundred for his theme, and even the pert soubrette, when caught in grave company and impelled to do something solemn just for looks, may render tho old, old story and win a reception which will still her pit-a-pat going heart and place her well at ease. Yes, so powerful is the charm that should a man condemned for crime in any land where English is spoken prove that he rode with the Six Hundred Tennyson wrote about the fact would win a speedy pardon. And on its merits it is a marvelous recital, this poem. When was ever wed to strong and homely Saxon words sublimer thoughts than these: \'i. Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die Into the valley of death
Ttodo the Six Hundred.
What then was the charge which this is all about? In order to make plain the situation I adopt a simple diagram from Kinglake's "History of the Crimea." The valley between the forefinger and the little finger runs nearly east and west. The extended fingers represent heights the northern a range of hills occupied by Russian troops in heavy force, the southern a succession of knolls crowned with redoubts planted by the allies and just wrenched from them by a charge of Russian cavalry, and then manned with Russian artillerymen and supports. Well toward the west end of the valley the Russian horse advancing from the east had been met by Gon. Scarlett's 800 heavies and driven back along the valley, whore the close fiugers represent them, and there rallied to re-form behind a twelve gun battery. At the extreme west end of the valley were the Chersonese mountains, where the allied armies rested so the scene of combat was looked dAwn upon from three elevated positions swarming with armed men, among them the chiefs of the opposing camps, and thoir colleagues, and other distinguished spectators. Below the CherBonese, in the valley and well hidden from view of the plain, was a division of English cavalry under Lord Lucan, tho Heavy Brigade of Gen. Scarlott, and the Light Brigade of Lord Cardigan.
The battle opened by a rapid advance at daylight of Russian cavalry along the valley where the allied redoubts manned by Turks invited attack. A corresponding movement of all arms on the heights north of the valley placed the Russians in Btrong force on and around the plains of Balaklava. Gen. Scarlett's bold, charge forced back the Russian cavaliy center and left the troops in the captured redoubts

DIAGRAM OF THE ATTACK,
unsupported. Lord Raglan, the English commander, standing on the Chersonese heights, overlooking the field, very promptly seat orders, on beholding the of the Russian horse and exposure of the iti|« of redoubts, to move the Light Brigade forward and retake the capi.tred gups, which the enemy were removing. The order was conveyed to Lord Cardigan by Capt- Nolan, who stand* as the hero and tha martyr of the tragedy of Balafc^iva. Kdlan
dashed at a breakneck speed down a steep wlrieh no honae's hoof had ever trod. In him burned tho spirit of a soldier red, hot floor baWle, bat: condemned by the red fcspo qmtom the Baglish service to routine Wftffdntr. HA bore tin fourth order of fheday to Lord Lucan and that officer, amaiting under the humiliation of a repeated prodding, refused to understand tha meaning of liis chief. The order was for Lucan's cavalry to advanoe and prevent the enemy from removing the guns of the captured redoubts on the heights south of the valley. Lord Lucan condemned the order and aroused Nolan to somewhat pithy, not to say indignant, responses. He was finally led to say, "Lord Raglan's orders are that the cavalry should attack immediately." "Attack, sirl Attack what? What guns, sir?" demanded the irate lord.
Nolan pointed, as Lucan insisted, toward the left hand corner of the valley, where lay the discomfited Russian squadrons behind a frowning battery of twelve twelve pounders, amd said: "There, my lord, is your enemy there are your guns."
Lord Lucan, accompanied by Nolan, then went to Lord Cardigan, who was at the head of his Light Brigade, facing down the valley toward those menacing twelve pounders. Handing to him Lord Raglan's written order to advance and save the guns in tho captured redoubts, he observed to Cardigan that the advance be made steadily with his men "well mhand." Cardigan remonstrated,saying:
J'Certainly,
sir but allow me to point outlto you that the Russians have a battery in the valley in our front and riflemen on each flank." Shrugging his shoulders, Lucan said that there was "no choice but toobey." Turning quietly to his people the chief of tho Light Brigade said: ''The brigade will advance."
Taking the estimate of Cardigan's military character as given by the English historian, Kinglake, whose narrative is here followed, tho tragedy that befell the Light Brigade was to have been expected from the result of this interview between the division general and the brigadier. Says Kinglake of Cardigan: "If ordered to hold a position he might think himself planted as fast RB a sentry at the gate of a palace. If ordered to advance down a valley without being told where to halt he might proudly abstain from supplying the omission, and lead his brigade to destruction." And that is precisely what he did do. His column consisted of the Thirteenth Light Dragoons and the Seventeenth Lanoers in the Suet line, the Eleventh Hussars in the second and the Fourth Light Dragoons and Eighth Hussars in the third. Tho stolid leader rode about five horses' lengths in front of the center, and the whole moved off at a trot.
Promptly Capt. Nolan, who was near the head of the brigade, obliqued to the right toward the captured guns, and while he waa waving his sword and shouting to feavo the command follow him his heart was torn out by a shell Cardigan saw his gestures and heard his shouts and his dying yell, but he only rode silently on, and the Six Hundred followed him. As soon as the Russians saw this persistent advance toward their twelve gun battery they opened from the heights on both sides of the valley upon the devoted column. So orderly was the ride of the English, however, that when falling steeds jostled their neighbors out of file line the
J,-
DEATH OF THE GUIDE.
confusion was but momentary and the mass closed up and moved on like a river current after deflection by a sunken rock. Cardigan looked neither right nor left, but, selecting a gun near the center of the battery in his front for a guide, he galloped toward it, not halting even when, as he was within three horses' length, it opened Are. His horse shied from the flame and he plunged through the battery into the Russian cavalry, and was soon in a hand to hand encounter with a body of Cossacks who had been ordered to secure him.
Some of the first liue attacked the artillerymen and others rode through at the Cossacks. The succeeding lines adopted the same tactics, and tho artillerymen were prevented from removing the guns, while the Russian cavalry was eventually put to rout. The brigade lost its formation and fought on in two wings, the center having been crushed, until the Russian lanoers and Cossacks were flying before them. The smoke of battle separated the wings of tho brigade from sight of eaoh other, aud after losing heavily, finding no supports coming forward, a retreat was made, partially covered by attacks by the French and English cavalry upon tho Russians north of the valley. The brigade lost 318 killed and J84 wounded out of 673 effective before the fight. The proportion of killed to wounded shows the desperation of the conflict. There were 475 horses killed and 43 wounded. Only 15 unwougdod men fell into the hands of the Russians, and these because their horses had been disabled.
When the remnant came together in the cavalry camp Lord Cardigan, who himself showed a bleeding wound, said, "Men, it is a mad brained trick, but it is no fault of mine."
Some of the njen answered: "Nevermind, my lord we are ready to go in again." "No, no, men you have done enough!" added the leader.
This wonderful combat from onset to retreat lasted twenty minutes. It was of this that Gon. Bosquet made tho oft repeated remark, "It is splendid, but it is not war."
After having set his cavalry in motion toward the twelve gun battery with the Light Brigade at the head, Lord Lucan had formed the Heavy Brigade under Gen. Scarlett to follow in support. But Cardigan's rapid pace put such distance between the two commands, and the Russian cross fire on the Light Brigade played such haroo with its ranks, that the cavalry commander exclaimed wofully "They have sacrifinA the Light Brigade they shall not tho Heavy if I can help it," andputit about in retreat.
So ended that immortal charge a movement without reason or excuse, and leaving no compensation exoept the example to the world of the mighty power of martial discipline. Cardigan, impetuous, misguided, stubborn Canjigam, rode on and the faithful Six Hundred rode after him because it was so ordered.

Friends of the Eleottons Bill Do* feated in the Senate.
SIDETRACKED BY A CLEVER MOVE.
|ght Kepublicans Combine with tha Democrats and Vote to Displace It in Favor of the Flnandal Bill. ..
SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.—By asmartani very unexpected maneuver the elections bill was displaced in the Senate Monday afternoon. The friends of the measure are wroth and declare that it was the result of a trick. It has been the^ custom of ice President Morton to call a Senator to the chair after the morning hour. The consideration ol the elections bill was resumed each day and he went to his private room. In the majority of instances since the elections bill has had the floor the Vice-President has called a DemocrafPto the chair. Monday afternoon lie asked Senator Harris (Tenn.), one of the smartest parliamentarians in Congress, tq take the chair. Shortly after the Vice-President left the Senate chamber,' and at the first opening for an ex* traneous motion, Senator Stewart (Nev.), a Republican, but one of the froe-silver-coinage advocates who bitterly opposed the elections bill, arose and moved to lay aside thy pending measure—the elections bill—and tak« under consideration the financial bill recently reported from the Republican caucus. Instantly Senator Hoar (Mass.), who has charge of the elections bill, sprung to his feet and declared the motion out of order. He said the pending measure could not be displaced by a motion during the consideration of the main question. The choir promptly ruled the motion of Senator Stewart in order, tfce yeas and nays were quickly taken and the elections bill laid a-side by a vote of 34 to 29. Senators Stanford, Washburn, Teller, Wolcott, Jones (Nev.), Stewart, McConnell and Shoup (8) voting with the Democrats.
The movement almost took the breath of the friends of the elections bill. For, the moment they were paralyzed, as it were, but as soon as they could speak they declared that it was a prearranged trick, a part of a trade and programme entered into between. the free-coinage Republicans and Democrats. The elections bill is now displaced and it will require a majority vote to replace it— in short, the same strength that woul& be required for the adoption of the bill. In other words, it will be as difficult to replace the elections bill now as it would have been to pass the elections bill. The same parliamentary tactics will undoubtedly be employed by the Democrats and free-coinage Republicans to defeat Vy displacement of the finance bill.
