He said he was leading his men to the
front, In one of the seven days battles,

of Virginia, when an aide rode by and
gave him the news that our army had
carried a certain strategic point and
captured several cOlors.

How TO SToP THE Flow OF BLOOD.
-Housekeepers, mechanics, and 9TH
ers, handling knives, tools, and other
sharp instruments, frequently receive
severe cuts, from which blood flows
prOfusely, and often endangers life
Itself. Blood may be made to cease to
flow as follows: Take the fine dust o
tea and bind it close to the Wound-at
all times accessible and easy to be OBJ
tanned, After the blood has ceased to
dow, laudanum may be advantageously
applied to the wound. Due regard to
these instructions would save agita-
ton OF mind, and running for a sur
Eeon, who probably would make no
better prescription if he were present.
