Civil War Stories 8

Hnttle of llair rtl-jfT. Iiiter-t in tho stirring ov'iits of t'ir ?iat roiiüict between the north anl tlio south over forty years apjo ;y ao means eon fined to the survivors thereof, hut It seems to grow and expand in the hearts of the youii jroupratlon, who love to read of the moving armies, the historic battles, the Ftirring seenes, the capture of citi and fortresses, and all the other incidents of the momentous conflict. TI ere have been many contributions to war literature, but I do not remember to have seen in print the incident which follows ami which occurred ba(K In ISfil. It was an event that cast a profound gloom over the country nt that time, not only because of the defeat of the federal forces and the death of a jrallant officer, hut because of tlie d!sapiointiuent which it caused to t:u hopes that had been raised throu-li the growth and improvement of tee army. The story was told to me by an officer uho was a prominent participant In the affair, but who is too modest to let me make his name public. It Is a plain statement of facts and is as follows : Rail's Rluff is the name of a part of the bank of the Potomac rlrer on tlie Virginia side, each of Leesburg. Oipesite the bluff and about one hundred yards distant is Harrison's island, a long tract containing about forty acr-s end about 1"0 yards broad. Itetwe u this and the Virginia shore the river runs with a rapid current. Hetwe ti the island and the Maryland shore the river Is about 2X yards wide and not so rapid. A short distance above the upper end of the island there was then a ferry across the Potomac, called Conrad's ferry, and about an equal d'--tance below the Island was Ivl wards ferry. The two hostile armies had tor some months held the opposite banks of the river at this point. It was hre that the confederates had contenip'a. .el nn irruption into Maryland to attack Washington. (ieu. Iianks held '.lie Maryland side of the river from (Ireat Falls to Edward's ferry. From that jKiint to Conrad's ferry was station-d the division of Gen. Stone, with headquarters at Poolesville; then came the fcrce of Col. Lander and then that of Col. Geary. On the Virginia side of the river the principal Confederate posts were Dranesville and Lees'oui. As It was considered desirable to ascertain the strength of the enemy at Dranesville. Gen. McClellan ordered (Jen. McCall to make a reconnaissance in that direction. This was executed on the 10th of October, ISM, and McCall returned to his former position on the 20th, reporting no enemy .:i Dranesville nor within four miles of Leesburg. (Jen. Stone at Poolesville was ordered to make a demonstration and sent Gorman's brigade to Udward's ferry; detachments of the Fifteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts to Harrison's island, and a section of a Khode Island battery and the California and New York rein-.ents under Col. Baker to Conrads ferry. . A feint was then made to cross the river by German's corps in plain view of ti:e nemy. Shortly after i a. m. on the 21st Col. Devens, with five companies f the Fifteenth Massachusetts, accompanied by Col. Lee with a detachmf.it of the Twentieth ' Massachusetts, crossed from Harrison's Island t' the Virginia side and took position on lhe top of IJall's I luff, which h'-re rises abruptly some 150 feet from the river. At the same time, in order to attract attention from Col. Devens, Gen. Store directed Gorman to send two conipani-s of the First Minnesota across the river and throw out a squad of cavalry on the Leesburg road. In the meantime, Gen. Stone, having received a rep.t from Col. Devens that no enemy was to be feen, ordered a battalion of tiu Fifteenth Massachusetts to coss and protect the flank of Col. Devens, and Col. Baker to be ready with his brigade to act as a reinforcement if neccsary. About 7 a. m. of the 21st Ol. Devens, who had pushed forward toward Ijeesburg, encountered Confederate infantry and ca fairy, and fell backin good order to the bluff. He had only about GÖ0 men under his co umand, and reported for further orde-v lie was directed by Gen. Stone to -e-main where he was and was promised reinforcements. While waiting fr.r these he was attacked about noon oy the enemy, who, concealed in the stnrounuing woods, poured In a deadly fire from their guns upon the small federal force In an oikmi field of al-nt six acres. Portions of the First California, t! e Twentieth Massachusetts and some companies of the Xew York (Tamnjany.i regiment, and a battery of fo ir guns had now crossed the river, and at 2:30 p. m. the firing was vety nrisk. At 4 o'clock Col. P.aker, who had now assumed command, formed his line for action. The Fifteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts were on the right, th First California on the left, ami the Tammany Tigers and the artillery In the center. Signs of a large force of the enemy now became apparent, but none were visible. This force, probably numbering 4,000 merf, pressing upon the l.I00 troops under Col. Paker with great vigor and a murderous tire, induced a consultation among the federal officers, which resulted in a determination to fight. A retrograde movement would bring the force to the steep brink of the river, where the rapid descent only led to a small boat and a scow as the means of crossing tlie swift running stream. The only hope was to hold the ground until troop. could cross at Edward's ferry and foice a way to the aid of the federals. Two companies were pushed forward to fe-J the enemy in the woods on the left, and were met with a galling tire, which was followed along the whole line of the enemy, who, conscious of their strength, closed in on both sides ef the field with overwhelming forre. Here the gallant Col. Paker, while in the act of cheering on his men, f'l1 dead,, pierced by a Confederate buliet. The command then devolved upon Col. Cogswell, of the New York regiment There was now no recourse but t attempt to regain the Maryland shore. The order was given to fall back, anl the men retired in an orderly manner, closely pressed by the Confederates. Peaching the river, It was found tha' the small boat had disappeared ajl the scow swamped ou the second at tempt to use It. There was then .o alternative but to swim or surrender, and the flying Federals chose the fo--mer, and. throwing their guns Into the rlrer, qulcly dispersed, some going ip and down the bank, some getti'g astride of logs In the river, whl'e

others sought to cro?s to n.trrison s Isiand by swimming, in this attempt many were shot by the Confederate', and more were drowned. Th" 'iva picres of artillery were tumbled do.vn he bAiik. but were captured by tue enemy, togo.licr with omo cses of n:?v immitio.t. Out of the total Federal force engaged scarcely Duo returned to camp, half the missing having ben t.iken prisoners on the river bank. The Confederates, who were commanded ly Gen. Evans, placed their loss at 1.V. While these events were taki",; place. Gen. Stone was preparing tn cross at Edward's ferry, but desisted on hearing the news of the death o( Co?. Paker and the retreat and defeat of his command. Orders were then rcclved from Gen. McCleilan to hoid t-o: island and Virginia shores at Edwarls ferry at all hazards. Gen. Gorman then preceeded to strengthen his position, and reinforcements were sent forward, until there were 4.000 infant -y, with Kichetts' battery and a elrtaeh ment of cavalry, on the Virginia shoie. behind ?W feet of intrenchments. F-t some reason there was a change o' program and the whole force return! to the Maryland shore. Tlie main causes of this disaster c the Federal arms were a badly-oiiosen place to cross. Insufficient means of transportation, and want of a derin tc object in venturing into a position where retreat was nearly impossible, without positive knowledge of the strength of the enemy to be contended with. The Confederates extended their bat t( ries down the Potomac, the success r.t Pall's Pluff having caused a great increase of activity among them, as we!l as among sympathizers in and about Washington, and for this reason on the 2T.d of October, ISM. the Preside.it of the I'nited States suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the District of Columbia.

Praying for Lincoln. After the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, and as the cloud of Civil War grew darker ami darker, the feeling of the Southern ixplo against the President as a partisan grew steadily stronger. The Itev. Calusha Anderson. In a lxok entitled "A Punier City in the Civil War." tells bow, in his case, in St. Louis, the crisis in sentiment came and was for a time tided over. At tlie Sunday morning service I usually prayed for the Preslelent and his advisers. So, long r.s Mr. Puchanan was In eifhVe this apjKnire'd agreeable to all. but no sooner was Mr. Lincoln inaugurated than some began to object to this part of my prayer. In private conversation they gave freo expression to their resentment. The congregation was divided on the question. Among themisslres ther warmly debated it. No one as yet had uttered his protest to me, and I kept right on praying publicly for the President. There was no sign ef yielding on either side. Iterations were already strained. If not wrenched. Something must bo done; at le-ast so thought the npiiosltlon forces. They jrot together and requested William M. McPherson. on their behalf, to talk the matter over with nie. Although he had no sympathy with their opposillon. in order that he nigbt do something in the interest of harmony In the church he consented t ) lay their grievance ljfore me. He Invited nie to meet him at his business office, that our interview ndght.be strictly private. Since I had no truer friend. I gladly rescinded to his courteous reejuest. When we met hn at eneo said : "A considerable number of the church and congregation have sent to yu through ine an earnest petition that In the future you should foregpraying publicly for the President. And they have asked me to Induce y u. If I can. to grant their de-sire." I replied, "Such prayer Is no nw thing in my pulpit ministrations. I prayed for Mr. Pinhanan, and no one objectftl to that; ami I tio not Fee "why any one. should now object to my praying for Mr. Lincoln." "Ah," he answered, "that is Just the sore point ! They think that praying for Lincoln is partisan, that It is praying rgalnst the South, and em't yon for the sake of peace forego it?" I rcsjondcil. "If Lincoln Is as bad .is they say he is, I am sure that both I and they ought to pray for hlra; he needs our prayers. Moreover, be so kind as to say to your brethren and mine, that according to the Protestant idea, prayer is Indited by the Holy Spirit; and if the Holy Spirit leads nie to pray publicly for the President. I must elo it, even though it may Ikdisagreeable to my fellow men." My reply seeraed lo please him. and he nald, "Shall I say that that is your message to them?" "Certainly." said I ; and our interview thus ended very pleasantly. "Here." There is. lu Katharine M. AMoit' re-ce-nt beiok. "Old Path and Legends of the New England Horder," a little story which illustrates the importance of accurate statement. In Saybrook, Connecticut, In the day of e-ottage prayer meetings one hundred years-ago, a lady directed her servant to go to each neighbor and say that Mrs. Howies will have the prayer mee't Ing here to-night. The servant carrieel out her instruc tlons to the letter: "Mrs. Powles say the prayer meeting will be here te night." Accordingly, each lady arranged hei chairs, put on he-r best gown, mad ready for the coming of the parson, and stayed at home. Antiquity of Death MmUi. Although there is no mention of ele-ath masks In the works ef Homer Or In any of the later classics, modern ex plorers have satisfied themselves that In the early burials of all nations It was the custom to cover the heads and iKtdie of the dead with sheets of gold so pliable that they took the Impress of the form, and not Infrequently, when in the course of centuries the embalmed flesh had shriveled or fallen away, the gold retained the exact cast of the features. Schliemann found a number of bodits "covered with largo masks of gold plate In re-pousse work," several of which have been reproduced by means of engraving In his "Mycenae," ami he asserts that there can be no doubt whatever that each one of these represents the likeness ef the deceased person whose face It covered.

There should be no smoking about where the milking is done or about the milk at any time. Milk absorbs the bad qualities of tobacco smoke quickly. Many imagine that butter thattastes too bad for table use is good enough to cook with, but the bad taste Is merely covered up without the cause being removed.

An automobile owner recently tried to climb a telegraph pole with his machine, the result being that both man and anto were the worse for wear and tear. When asked why he didn't keep the middle of the road he said he was looking at 'Some pigs in a wallow on lhe roadsld?, and he had a good notion to bring suit against the owner of the pl?s for scaring his machine. Few men of ordinary capacity can make a striking success of more than one thing, be It In the professions or various business pursuits, and the largest measure ef success Is usually obtained by devoting one's energies only to a single phase of a given occupation. Such restriction of attention anel activity permits of a closeness of study and application that Is not possible where a fellow tries to spread himself out over a forty acre lor. Potatoes to produce the smoothest and best tubers should be cut fo as to have two strong eyes to the piece and planted to a depth of four inches In a rich soil which has been put In the best of tilth. If the potatoes to be useel for seeel show signs of scab they should le given the formalin treatment, susIended In a gunny sack anel soaked for two hours In a solution made by mixing one-quarter of a pint of formalin in about twelve gallons of water. This treatment should be given the sevd after it is cut and a short time before planting. There Is a eure for milk f?ver that may not be generally known among cow owners. It Is simple but effects a cure always. It consists of a bicycle pump, a short piece of small rubber hrise anel a milking tube. The hose Is attached to the milking tube and the bicycle pump. When the tube has been Inserted In the udder of the affllcteel cow the udder is pumped full of air. It tiay be necessary to massage the ueleler to expel the air anel then pump In more. The end of the tube must be first dipped In boiling water and great care be taken that everything useel is perfectly clean. There are occasions when the taking or giving of a receipt for a sum of money paid may seem to be unnecessary, yet It Is wise to do so in every case. With the most honest and best meanlug of people there Is possibility of a failure to make proper credit for an amount paid, and unless memory serves there is likely to be ground for a serious misunderstanding. As soem as one receives a receipt or acknowledgment he should file it away In a place of safe keeping, where it ran be found should occasion reejulre.

Referring to the forms! abandonment ef the attempt to force the reburnlng of ashes upon the firemen of lhe New York City school buildings, the Engineering News says: "It was found that the great saving in fuel claimed for the ash-burnlng scheme did not really exist, and the boiler repair bill was Increased. The cooler ends of the Udler tube were clogged, and the steaming qualities of the boilers were Impaired. The boilers appear to have suffered excessive corrosion while Idle, although there seems to have been no very active, deterioration while they were kept hot. It Is quite true that a great deal of the unburned coal has gone into the ash pit in the past; bnt the remedy for this waste is not In trying to burn the ashes over again with oxalic acid or any other nostrum, but in training the firing force In proper management of these boilers to prevent such waste.

(3 lieat, may lie for a time in the cold, or if it clammy es-irlh, and then rot should receive sullicient heat to half germinate it. the result would be a sickly and stunted growth which would fcoon end In eleath. On the other hanel. If sown too late, there Is apt to be a deficiency in moisture, which, together with the oheking ofrVct of other rapidly growing vegetation, results in failure. Put, as a general thing, there is U'ss elanger in sowing early than late, no doubt from the fact that nature, if allowed her own way, casts her seeel during fall and winter. The bet time to sow is when it is reasonably sure that severe winter has passeel and spring is altout budding out a perloel when the ground is still ierfectly loose from recent freezing, and yet not in the solid condition which comes with spring. The Idea is to sow at a time when the seeds are most likely to be imbedded in the soil, for no seed can germinate properly while lying on the top of the grouud. It surely pays to use nemo but the best quality of seeel. There is almost invariably far less difference in the priee than in the quality, to say nothing of the disastrous results that may come from polluting the soil with various kinds of weeels proVably unknown to the farm lefore. Uuy nothing but first-class seeel and thus avoitl this danger. Farts Altout Itonp. Roup is a contagious disease. When it comes into a flock in its worst form it is best to elestroy all that have the disease and burn the bodies, ltit a cold is net reup. The symptoms of a cold are the eyes closed and water flowing, at times a frothlike lischarge from the eyes, running at the nose. If neglected it may take a worse form. This may eome from exposure to elamp or cold drafts, from overcrowding in badly ventilated houses, er from a change frem roosting In the open to a warm or closed house. To e-ure this, first remove the e-ause, then fennl erpia! parts of red pepier and mustard in the mash, a tablespoonful of each to thirty fowls. Oniewis and red ieppers choppeel line and mixed in the mash are gooel, and the be'st when ftl alone, if the fowls will eat them. A rattling in the throat, if accompanied Svlth a cold, indicates that tha fowls have bronchitis. A rattling without the colel is usually harmless. When this is heard feed bread soaked In hot beer, with all moisture pressed out lefore fexHiing, and give pills of quinine and iron, the same as people take, (ilvo one of these twice a day. A cold when first e-ontracted can usually be cured with "rhinitis" tablets one-half strength, two pellets three time's a day for two or three days. To avoid these troubles the house must le dry, clean, free from drafts and bad odtrs, and It must be properly ventilated. This refers to pure, fresh air and plenty of it. Roup has a distinguishing mark that no one should mistake that is a disgusting odor or smell, and a thick, yellowish discharge from the nostrils that Is the death spreading element. This gets into water pans and feed and spreads to all the Uex-k if it is permitted to continue. Ventilate the Ineabntor. From the time the eggs are put Int ) the incubator till the chicks are out of the brooder and able to take care of themselves the subjee't of fresh air and ventilation must never le lost sight of, says the Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. All living animals require oxygcji for the support of life, and this oxygen is supplleel by the air we breathe. As soon as the chick begins to develop In the egg, which is a very short, time after it is under the influence of heat, it requires air. The egg shell Is porous, and through Its pores gases are given out and taken In. Lif fires of the eggs legln to burn soon after incubation starts, and oxygen of the air passing in through the egg shell pores supports this combination. Several days before the immature chick is ready to break the shell it begins to use its lungs as ' breathln, organs. This calls for an added supply of air as Incubation advances. Every Incubator Is provided with ventilation openlngsfor a constantsupply of fresh air. Perfect ventilation in. an Incubator Is necessary to Insure a gooel hatch. The gases that arise fron the eggs must be forced from the egg chamber immediately or the chicks wilt die in the. shell. This is accomplished by a constant supply of pure, warm air being forced into it gradually. Py use of a lighted match or pleee of burning paper It is an easy matter to tet! whether the ventilating device of in incubator Is working. There has been much discussion and difference of opinion as to whether air supplied to eggs while incubajing should be dry or moist. Eggs by nature during incubation lose some moisture and weight. Put Just how much water the eggs shoulel lose Is not definitely known. Dry air will dry out eggj faster than moist air, and If the air supplieel through ventilation be too dry lest results are not secured. Natural air In winter and spring, when most of the eggr. are hatched, contain a considerable amount of moisture. Under ordinary conditions the natural moisture of the air is sufficient for the needs of the eggs. Put in dry times or when the incubator is located In a very dry room It Is advisable to supply moisture artificially. This is usually don by keeping in the egg chamber of the machine a small sponge saturated with water. The ventilation of the broodc Is of as much importance rs the ventilation of the Incubator. The Infant chicks must have an abundant supply of fresh air at all timers or they will become weak and fall an ea.y prey to disease and death. Not only must the breodor haveopenlngs for taking In fre'sh air and letting out foul air, but the living chamber must be large enough so that it will always contain an excess of pure over Impure air. Do not crowel too many chicks In a sma'l brooder, as this tends to keep the air vitiated. Give plenty of room, with plenty of fresh air. A suitable protectetl run should b connected with the brooder so that the chicks will come out ef the brooeler frequently during the daytime for food, water and exercise. The more often they can be induced naturally to rome out Into the open air the stronger and Wealthier they will be. Their going In and out Is equivalent to ventilation, ,

For Catarrh of the Throat of Two Years' Standing. I was afflicted for two years with catarrh of the throat. At first it was very slight, but every cold I took mada it worse. "I followed your directions and in a very short time I began to improve. I took one bottle and am now taking my second.

DEEP DIVES FOR TREASURE.

Extraordinary Performances by Mea Who Go Dornt Into tbe Sea. The feat performed by a Dutch diver the other day in going down 175 feet to tli? wreck of the treasure ship Dorothea, on the Tenedos reef, and remaining there for nearly two hours, is a sufficiently remarkable performance. Nevertheless, it is not true, as has been stated in some quarters, that it establishes a record in deep sea diving. This Is held by an English diver named Hooper, who descended 201 feet to the wreck of the Cape Horn, lost off the coast of South America, with a cargo of copper worth C0.000. An almost equally wonderful piece of work was that performed by Diver A. Erostarbe, in 1S9C, in connection with the wreck of the Skyro, off Cape Flnisterre In ISO feet of water. After many experienced men had tried and failed he salved, by his own exertions, bar silver to the value of 9,000, to get at which he had first to blow the iron deek to bits with heavy charges of dynamite. Alexander Lambert, another famous diver.now dead, sent up 70,000 in coin ed gold from the wreck of the Spanish mall steamer Alphonso XII. The wreck also lay in ISO feet of water. From the hull of the Ilamllla Mitchell, lost on the Leuconna rock near Shanghai, Diver RIdyard salved 40,000 in four dives. The last of these was , the most successful, he remaining below or hat occasion four hours, durI V, I I v.- . nn - 11,. lug nuau i nut: uc bvui. iu iiic cui 101c no fewer than sixty-four boxes or treasure. He could, he reported afterward, have salved much more, but considerable quantities of the coins were lying loore in heaps on the bed of the ocean. the worms having riddled the wooden; boxes so that they had fallen completely to pieces.

These Mew Towns in the Northwest All Heed Men

Hundreds of new towns are springing up all over the Pacific Northwest. The big, easy fortunes being made from fruit, farming and stock-raising, are making these towns grow fast. They all need men who know trades they need you, whether you have money to invest or not. Never, in the history of America, has the man who works with his hands had such a chance to make money, as is offered in the west today. You Are Losing Money Every Day You Stay in the East You would not stay another day in the worn-out East, if you knew even half the truth about the great Pacific Northwest. Families, who went there penniless 5 years ago, are spending; this winter in California. They bought good iand at low prices paid for it gradually today are independent. Opportunities are greater now than . ever, because the country is more developed. Ask us on a postal to send you our free book, telling yo all about Oregon, Idaho and Washington.

A Frencif general's wife, who tongue-lashing ability was far-famed, demanded that an old servant, who had served with her husband in the wars, be dismissed, "Jacques," said the general, "go to rour room and pack your trunk and leave depart.' The old Frenchman clasped his hands to his heart with dramatic joy. "Me I can go!" he exclaimed In a rery ecstacy of gratitude. Then suddenly his manner changed, as with utmost compassion he added: "But you my poor genera', yon must stay!" Success Magazine. Ills Vsoal Way.
