How Gen. Stevens Died at the Head of
the Iighlanders.

the IIighlandcrs.
The army was retrea,ing from Center
vile. The battle was fought against a
rebel force that had penetrated five miles
nearer Washington than our rear, and
was moving to strike upon the flank
Gen. Stevens divi.ion, the advance of
Reno's corps, was on the left Of the road
taken by the trains, and intercepted BY
the enemy. He saw that the rebels must
be beaten back at once, or during the
night they would stampede the wagons,
and probably SO discomfort our retreat
that the last divisions would fall a prey
to their main force. He decided to at
tack Immediately, at the same time send
ing back for support.
Having made his dispositions, ho led
the attack on foot at the head of the 18th
Highlanders). Soon meeting wither-
ing fire, and the Color Sergeant, Sandy
Campbell, a grizzled old Scotchman, be-
ing wounded, they faltered. One Of the
color guard took up the flag, when the
General snatched it from him. The
wounded Highlander at his feet cried,
For Gods sake, General don't you take
the colors, they shoot you if your do |"
The answer was, Give me the colors
II they don't follow now. they never
will :" and he sprang forward, crying,
We are all Highanders fellow High
landers forward my Highlanders !''-l
The llighIanders did follow their Scot
t'sh chief, but while sweeping forward a
ball struck him on his right temple. lie
died Instantly. An hour afterward, when
taken up. his hands were still clenched
around the flag staff.
A moment after selling the colors, his
son. Capt. Hazard Stevens fell woun,
ded, and cried to bis father that he was
hurt. With but a glance back, that
Roman father said 81 can't attend to

strong Characters.

Strength Of charater consists of two
things-power of will and power of bseIf
resistant. Ii requires two things, there
fore, for its MISUNDERSTANDING. and strong
eomnsnd over them. Now it is here we
make great mistake we mistake strong
feelings for strong character. A man who
bears all before him, before whose frown
domestic tremble,, and whose bursts of fu>
~ make the children of the household
quake-because he has bis will obeyed
and his own way in all things, we call him
a strong man. The truth is, that he is the
weak man ; it is his passions that are
strong; be, mastered by them, is weak
You must measure the strength of a man
ut suu1ues, not uy fnv bower Of Inosss
which subdue him. And hence composea-e
10 very often the highest result of strength.
Did We never see man receive fragrant
insult and only grow little PALE. and then
reply quietly That is a man spiritually
strong. Or did We never see a man in an
guish stand, as if carved out of solid rock
mastering himself Or one bearing hope
less daily trial remain silent, and never tell
the world what cankered his home peace |
That is strength. He who, with strong
passions, remained chaste !; he who, keenlJ
sensitive, with manly powers Of indigna
ton in him, can be provoked, and yet re
strain himself, and ;orgive-these are the
strong men, the spiritual heroes.

Causes of Thanksgiving.

The Chicago Post thus enumerates the
following causes of thanksgiving
Let US on this day unite together and
give thanks.
l. Because the air we breathe is still free,
and not taxed for internal revenue.
2. Because Greeley's 100000 men are
still liable to be drafted.
3. Because one Rebel isn't equal to five
Yankees.
4. Because, notwithstanding the Presi-
dents bull against the comet, the comet
hasn't yet projected any horned quadruped
against the President.
3. Because greenbacks are not worth
less than fifty cents on the dollar.
8. Because printing paper isn't half q
dollar pound.
7. Because the rebel army is hemmed in
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
and has no alternative but to fight or not to
fight.
8. Because the Rebels still protest their
intention to die 10 the last ditch, !" (siving
gound for suppositlon that they expect to
die sometime or other.
9. Because the Radicals have not vet
prevailed upon the President to turn the
moon into green cheese BY proclamation.
10. Because Washington is safe"

GEOLOGICAL WONDER thirty
years ago, somebody made the discovery
that the ice fields of Siberia contained IN.
mense numbers Of elephants and masto-
dons: Where they came from, or how they
got there, is problem which perhaps may
never be solved /; their existence, however
was no mere chimers. and as ivory is one
of the most valuable commodities of trade
in all nations, some unitarian Euglishmen
conceived the idea of turning these vestiges
of a former epoch to profitable account
Accordingly about the year 1885. ThOmp-
son, Bonner & Co., a rich London firm
fitted out an expedition to seek for ivory in
the Siberian ice. Novel and incredible as
it seemed. the expedition was crowned with
complete success. The ships ret irned to
England richly ladened with the choicest
ivory and even to the present time, al
though the porld knows little about it, the
ivory market is mainly supplied from the
ice fields of Siberia.
