The Midnight Ride Of the Confederate
Troops Around Cincinnati.

$50 long as l live," says Gen. Basil
Duke in the Philadelphia Times,
81 shall never forget that night
march around Cincinnati. We had now
been almost constantly in motion for
eleven days and nights, and gone nearly
four hundred miles. 1t had been a pc
Rod of almost total deprivation of rest
and sleep, for when not marching we
had been fighting, or hard at work. The
column was encountered with the men
wounded in Indiana; and those still in
the saddle, reduced in number to less
then two thousand, were worn with the
enormous fatigue consequent upon such
exertions, OF which no one, who has not
had similar experience, can form the
slightest conception. The I'd brigade
had comparatively little trouble, for it
was in front and Gen. Morgan rode at
its head with the guides But the LIST
brigade was embarrassed beyond meas
ure. If the regiment in the rear
of the advance brigade had been
kept closed up and held compactly to-
gether, the entire column would have
been directed by the guides But al
though composed of the very best fight
ing material this regiment had always
been under lax discipline, and the effect
was now observable. Its rear compa-
MES would straggle, halt, and delay all
behind them. When forced to proceed
they would move at a gallop. A great
gap would thus be opened between the
two brigades, and we, who were in the
rear, were obliged to grope our way
without assistance. At the frequent
functions of roads, which occur in the
suburbs of so large city, we were COM
PEELED to consult all sorts of indications to
ascertain the right path. The night was
intensely dark, and it was necessary to
light torches at all such points The
horses tracks on paved and dusty
streets so constantly travelled afforded no
clew to the route our comrades had
taken, but we could trace it by noticing
the manner in which the dust settled
or fioated. On calm night the dust
occasioned by the passage of large
body of cavalry will remain in the air
for minutes and move slowly in the di-
rection followed by those who have dis
turbed it. We were also aided by re-
marking the SLAYER which had dropped
from the mouths of the horses. AT
every halt men would fall asleep and
even drop from their saddles, and the
officers were compelled to exercise con-
slant vigilance to keep them in ranks.
Daylight returned just as we reached

four-wheeled baby-carriage-the only
one in the place-a description of which
he had obtained from the railway people.
For two months he stopped at Leon
ards, keeping watch over the woman as
the only means of getting on the track
of the man. The only way he could
keep an eve on the house was to hire
hackney coach, to stand on the. opposite
corner, from the bottom of which he
made observations. At length he got a
.'correct steer" and turned up the fugi-
tive, Mr. Lewis, here in London. Lewis
had what the detectives call a good
"nest,' and, but for the family at st.
Leonard, would have eluded the officers
for months. He was arrested last week
and lodged in prison. His funds IN
bank here, amounting to f6, 900, were at
tached, together with $4,000 in New
York, in the shape of Insurance Com
panv stock. Mr.. Lewis, who distin-
guished himself by clerking well for Mr..
Babbitt, is now occupying a cell in
Clerkenwell prison, waiting extradition.
He has made clean confession to Col
den, and, tired of his fugitive life, is
willing to settle down to steady employ
ment under the auspices of the State of
New York. He has implicated several
persons in New York who shared his
plumber, and the matter has been kept
very quiet in the hope that the money
can be obtained by some sort OF
compromise. Golden will leave with
his prisoner on the Sd of May. Lewis
is about thirty-six years of age. He is a
native of Brixton, England, and is a
shrewd fellow. Like all the other
"shrewd fellows" he has come to grief

How Russians Learn English.

The Russian method of acquiring
foreign languages is more methodical
than that of any other nation. In the
first place foreign nurse, usually En-
glish, is secured for the baby. The
Russians are very careful in choosing
this parsonage, because, as she is not on
any account to breathe into the infants
ears an accent of plebeian Russ, her
speech must be free from those COLO
quialisms in which ladies like Sairey
Camp are apt to indulge. When the
child is about nine years old foreign
playmates are sought for it. During the
summer months the children of the
English and French residents in Russia
are at premium. 1t is regular prac-
tice for them to spend their holidays on
the estates of Russian nobility. Beside
the pleasure which the trip into the in
terror affords them, they mostly return
home laden with presents, and if boy
is sharp enough to be able to add little
grammatical instruction to his practice
as conversationalist, he may pick up
enough pocket-money to last him the
remainder of the twelve-months. Last
ly, tutor or governess is engaged for
the child until it can converse in a for
eign language as freely and faultlessly
as native. Language masters make a
fine living in Russia. In spite of their
numbers-English teachers may be
counted by the hundreds-they charge
high price for their instruction, and
are held in great esteem by the Russians,
who often retain their services for years.
To DESTROY MoTHs-Get 2 or 8
pounds of powdered borax; if necessary
untack the carpets around the edges,
sprinkle plenty or borax all around the
outer edges of the carpet, and with a
feather or brush try to shove as much as
possible under the surbase let the borax
remain there, it will not injure the car
pet. Also make a line of borax all
around the surbase and on the carpet.

War Material from Connecticut.

The Union Metallic Cartridge Com
pany of Bridgeport is employed night
and day filling orders. Colts factory at
Hartford is said to have received large
order from the Russian Government for
Navy revolvers. Smith & Wesson have
lately completed an order for 100000
revolvers for the Turkish Government.
A Turkish officer who has been in Wa
terbury for year, experimenting the
manufacture of cartridge shells at the
factory of Brown Brothers, still remains
on duty there. The Winchester Arms
Company of this city has the contract
for filing these shells, and about 1920
hands are at work. 1t is stated that sew
eral steam ships, among them the John
Bramall, have left here lately, destined
for Constantinople, yet clearing for an
other port, and sailing under the En-
glish flag. The Winchester Arms Com
pany gave the Parker Brothers, of Me-
ridian, a contract some time ago for a
number of their power presses used for
the manufacture of cartridges. Eight of
the presses were delivered at the depot
on Tuesday, and the remainder will be
completed and sent forward in few
weeks.-NeW HaUeaa Journal.

Suggested by the death of Mrs. Mary
G.. Peck, wife of George I. Entler, who
entered into rest on the evening OF Oc-
tober 4th, 1876.
The busy hands are folded
Upon the quiet breast,
And bounding pulse and throbbing heart
Forever laid TO rest.
The frame so racked with suffering,
No pain or anguish knows,
Gods peace upon the sleeping form,
Lieth in calm repose.
Oh, life seemed very pleasant,
As loving hearts can prove,
With youth and hope and cherished
friends,
And tenderest ties Of love;
But the dear Lord, who knoweth best,
Called daughter come to me,
l am thy God and have prepared
L heavenly home for thee"
And now in Gods own glory,
All pain and suffering o'er,
She stands in raiment spotless,
Upon the heavenly shore.
Her life is life eternal,
While pain and trouble cease,
"Forever with the Lord" she dwells,
And all is perfect peace.
Our hearts are aching at our loss,
And tears of anguish flow,
But God who sends such trials keen,
viii sanctify the blow,
And by and by, i'll his good time,
When faith is lost in sight,
We shall acknowledge God is just,
And doeth all things right.
