An Incident of the War.

The Woodstock (Va.) Herald recent
ly announced that John Hoffman, of
Warren County, found during the latter
part of January, while hunting on top
of Massanutten Mountain, at the point
or knob overlooking Strasburg, near the
site of the signal station, a fine double
case gold watch and chain, which, it is
supposed, was lost at that place during
the a Inthe year 1864 a detachment
OF Federal soldiers attacked a part of
the Confederate signal corps and drove
them from their posts. The Confeder-
atcs in turn attacked the Federals and
drove them down the mountain, killing
some and capturing others. The lIa-
Md 1Uice-d- Week notices the
finding of the watch, and adds: "The
writer OF the following lines had charge
OF that signal station on that memorable
day in the year 1864. There were but
four OF us, and when the boys in blue,
seventy-five in number, made their APP
pearancc we deemed discretion the bet
ter part of valor and retrcatcd in the
style Of General Banks about that time,
lin good order,' but somewhat precipi-
tOus. Down ~ sailed from the top of
old 'Strasburg Point in most
beautiful time, but ut the foot we raj
lied, being reinforced by about seventy
five sh~arpshooters Of old Jubal Early's
command, when we rctraced our steps,
dislodged the enemy. and %recaptured
our signal station. Now, shortly after
taking possession Of the post, we dis
covered the body Of an ofiicer-a cap
tain Of the Federal forces-a few yards
down from the point among the rocks,
with his neck broken. He was not shot,
but from his position he evidently fell in
e~ndeavoring to get down the side, or
rather end, Of the mountain. From the
side coat-pocket OF this officer the writ
er hereof took an envelope, in which
wa q photograph, the envelope being
addressed Captain 4. N. Pritchard,
member General Court-Martiai, Cum
berland, Md That watch, no doubt,
belonged to the unfortunate officer.
Where he was from we have never
learned, but probably this article may
fall under the eye Of some one who
knew the gallant captain, for it - a
gallant act to lead seNenty-five men to
the top of an almost perpendicular
mountain peak in the face of the enemy
and in the enemY's country.N

An Electric Railway Brake.

In an arrangement Of railway axies,
lately devised by n. Burgin, "a French
inventor, the entire axle, with its wheels,
is made into n electromagnetic. The
wire is wound with increasing thickness
from the middle toward the wheels, in
the case of external cranks, but uni
formly in the case Of Internal. With
coupled wheels the wire is so arranged
that there Is an alienation of poles, the
piece OF rails between two poles form
ing the armature. 4 locomotive model
without engine or boiler-having
three pair Of wheels and internal cranks,
was placed on o line with thirty per
cent. incline. Five Bunsen elements
supplied the force, and o weight of
twenty-five pounds, with cord, passed
round the aXles. The machine weighed
eighteen pounds, and, with no current
flowing, the wheels merely slid on the
rails in position; but when the circuit
was closed, the model ran up the in
cline. When the brake was applied
and weight detached the model could
be held on the steep incline if the cur
rent were passing, but, il not, the
wheels began to slide, and the locomo-
tive went downward with increasing
pace, but this descent was promptly
stopped on the current being made to
flow again.

Three and One.
ny ELLA

BY ELLA WHEELER.
They stray through the sunlit. summer weather,
Two maids and a youth, meath skies OF blue,
And each Of the three, as they walk together,
Is secretly wishing there were but two,
Yet the maidens love each other dearly,
And both love the youth, II he only knew;
But he loves one as a sweet friend merely,
And the other he loves as lovers do.
She who has won his hearts best passion
Gives back a fancy, n passing whim:
She loves him only in coquette fashion;
While the other maid-she would die for him.
And while they wander across the meadows,
Their three hearts trimming with loves sweet
pain,
FATE is sitting within the shadows,
Weaving for them a tangled skcin.
And sAo shall weave till the autumn weather,
when th threads shall unravel and all come
straight;
BIT we'll size loveth TO knot them together,
And tangle tie ends for a time, doth Fate!
She Mt whose feet is cast that treasure,
man's heart strong with loves fun tide,
Shall use II awhile as a thing Of pleasure;
Bruise 1t. and break it, and cast it aside.
And she who is loved as a sweet friend only
Shall find 1t bleeding upon the ground,
And being herself 80 sad and lonely,
Shall strive through pity to heal the wound.
And after a time, when she's hushed Its grieving,
She shall take it with all Its wounds and scars,
And hide II away in her breast, believing
It's the richest treasure under the stars.
But the three walk on Ger the sunlit meadows,
And dream oil life is a summer land;
And they pass by one who sits in the shadows,
And see not the webs in her bOny hand.
Ard 20 we all while the days are aittinS
Plan out q future of joys and palms,.
And sec not Fate in the shadows sitting,
Ksotting and tying the tangled shcips.
The vows we vow with a fond "Forever,"
The pledge w deem there can naught befall,
Fate with Is touch Of her hand can sever,
All me! Ills folly to ilan at all. ="
TOGRc that we love may the soonest fail us:
We mAy grow TO yorship where now we hate
And whit do our plans and our dreams avail us
Better to leave 1t all with Fate.

Mrs. Hepburn, a lady nearing eighty
years Of age, but tall and erect, with
large, soft, black eyes, and a noble yet
sweet face, sat in her boudoir, listening
gravely TO the lamentations of her niece,
a fussy, overdressed woman, Of forty,
or thereabouts.
The older lady, being a childless wild
e@ Of great wealtk, was accustomed to
receiving frequent visits from her nu-
meroas relatives, and being called upon
TO sympa.hize in all their troablss.
More especially did her present visit
or, Jennie Harkner, make such de-
mands upon her time and patience.
Robert Harkner, the only SON Of the
fdssy widow, y mau of twenty-five, had
6sen from his babyhood the pride and
darling ut his great-aunt, and rosy Wis
ions OF his inheritance of all her pos
sessions haunted his mothers dreams.
From a child. the willy woman had
trimmed her son TO be all his stunt desir-
Cd, and from q child he had sturdily re-
sisted all attempts to force him into n
slavish hypocrisy.
IL may have been this very manliness,
contrasting with the servile flattering of
the others, that had FIRST won for him
his aunt's affection, aud il is certain
there was a bond of love between them,
entirely independent of bank accounts
and real estate. Feeling thus, Mrs.
Hepburn gave her niece grave attention
when she said vehemently:
"I am in such trouble about Rob-"
"Trouble? Is he ill?"
"Oh, no; far worse than that"
"Yon can not mean that he is in dis
ggace!"
"Oh, no indeed!" and the little wom-
an ruf,ied her ribbons, rs n bird does its
feathers.
"What is it thenp" said Mrs. Hep

nobody, and he declares he will marry

no vulgar woman would be allowed to
teach there"
"Well, perhaps she is not exactly
vulgar, but she has no money, no fami-
ly! Oh, Aunt Masy, if you viii only
use your influence with Rob, he may
see things in a proper light, and give
her up"
"What is her nameP"
"Edna Seabright; and Rob is going
up again in July, because she has no
home but the seminary, and will be
there during the holidays"
"How did Rob come 10 meet herp"
"She visits at the Holmes place,
\ where he was staying"
"H'm! Well, l will talk to Rob, but

the servant departed, "you have NJ. idea
what a very pretty castle in the air you
have demolished"
81 am sorry! But you will forgive
me when you have seen my Edna. You
will not let mothers strong prejudice
against a perfect stranger influence you,
will you, Auntie?"
81 won't promise. Nh! / hear my
friend. She has come in at another
door. Come in"
There was a rustic Of skirts, the bed
room door opened, and in the doorway
stood q tall, graceful girl, whose eyes
flashed and whose cheeks grew rosy,
when she beheld Robert Ilarkner. just
for one moment she stood there, and
then Rob had both her hands fast in his,
and was drawing her toward him. But
her face grew pale, and she drew back
from the loving arms that would have
encircled her.
"You must not" she faltered; ''your
mother wrote to me! l cannot be the
cause Of II quarrel between you and
your mother"
"You need not fear that said Mrs.
Hepburn, dryly. al will undertake 70
remove all her objections"
"You! DO you know her?n asked
Edna.
"From her cradle, my dear. This
gentleman is my great-nephew, Miss
Seabright! And" she added, mcrrily,
"you may depend upon him for all the
courtesy 3 friend Of mine may claim"
"More, more, Edna!" Rob cried.
"You may trust him for n life's devo-
ton, for trlest love, for entire loyalty.
You have long known MY love, and
have shown me your own, and Aunt
Maria will help me to coax you TO give
me soon q husbands right TO love and
protect you all your life."
"Hless me-" said Aunt Maria, look
ing straight ut the wall, 'if | did not
think that was my heir talking. /
Thought, Mr.. Robert iIarkner, your love
and honor could not be bought
"NOr can they, a%untie, for long ago
they We're freely given away. Edna,
darling, you will not send me from you
now?"
"No." she answered, shyly. al see
now why my kind friend took me from

"What, Edna?" asked Rob.
For she paused, all bright bushes.
Utterly miserable, of course she is

given me an appetite, so | am going to
dress for dinner, and, Master Rob, in
ten minutes I shall call Edna. But you
may dine with u.s."
What Rob said in these ten minutes
you may guess, but certain it is that
Edna never left Mrs. Hepburn until
there was n grand wedding at that
lady's house, when Miss Seabright be-
came the bride of Robert Harkner.
And Mrs. Harkner smiled graciously
upon her daughter-in-law, who is, she
tells her friends, "such a lovely wom'

How Heads First Came TO be
Cropped.

Previous to the time of Francis L.,
the French mobiles had worn their hair
long; the cause of this change of fash
ion forms u curious chapter in the his
tory of modes. On Twelfth Day, or
lie jour des rois, the court being then ut
Romorantin, the King was informed
that the Comte de st. Paul, following
an ancient custom, had made in his
house king of the bean. Upon which
Francis gathered about him all his cour-
tiers and informed them that he should
place himself at their head and lay
siege to the counts house to dethrone
this king. St. Paul, made aware of his
coming, prepared for his defense, and
caused his people to bring within doors
q large number of snowballs, and
gather all the apples, eggs, and other
things that would serve as proIectlles
they could find. The assault COM
menced. but very soon the besleged had
exhausted their ammunition; III the eX-
citement of the moment some one took
up Il burning log from the hearth and
cast it through the window. 1t fell up
on the kings head, intiicting severe
wound. The physician found 1t neces-
sary to cut his hair close to his head
From that time he allowed his beard to
grow. A few weeks afterward every
pretender to fashion, whether OF court
or town. appeared with beard and crop
ped hair.
An Irishman on board Il vessel when
she was on the point of laundering, be

TERRIBLE REACTION on a BURGLAR.
A burglar broke into a palatial resi-
dence, chloroformed the inmates, got
possession Of an United States bond
looking box, fastened with brass pad
lock. and carried three miles into the
country before he ventured to open it,
and then when he found in it only cut

threw his dark lantern into the creek,
and, swallowing his skeleton keys, died

UPToN MILLs.-We made a visit on
Monday last to these mills, now owned
By Estill Bros, the firm being com
posed of Isaac and Samuel III. Estill.
They have recently erected q roOmy
new two.story substantial frame build.
ing. on heavy rock pillars, and have
built it throughout of heavy timbers,
well braced and strongly joined to-
gether, which produces a steadiness
and smoothness Of motion in all the
machinery not often witnessed In a
merchant mill.
The owners of this valuable proper
ty have expended over $1,000 for new
and improved machinery, purchased in
Dayton, Ohio, and have had it put in
position by Major Burrell, a thoroughly
skilled English ~machinist and practical
miller and we think it no exaggera.
ton to assert that this mill has now
under its roof the finest sets Of stones,
the best machinery, and the most per-
feet boiling apparatus, o fany mill ever
erected in this State. The boiling
cloths are Of fine Swiss silk, and the
boiling chest is so ingeniously arrang-
ed that the miller can make any grade
OF -four desired by the customer, with
good wheat that is, he n make a
good article Of -four by running
through one sett of cloths, and make n
lull yield-say from 40 to AZ pounds
to the bushel or, he a make a
"Snow Flake article, (which Mr.. Bur
rell claims will even excel the best
brands of flour made by the Nashville
mills,) and make 80 pounds to the
bushel, and from the sample we exam.
ined, made from IN Indifferent lot of
wheat, We are convinced this assertion
will be verified.
Estill Bros. intend soon to have a
corn. cleaner attached TO their macbi
merry, so as to clean oil corn brought to
mill OF rotten grains and all other
e%xtraneous matter.
They are now ready to grind all the
and corr with which a generous
