"No; we were taken just as we stood,

could. 1t was afterward transferred
to canvas. The incident which it COM
memorates was one of the most notable
and curious in my history. l had been
ordered by Gen. Scott to make demon
stration ON the City of Mexico from the
Chepultepec side. | gathered up the
magnificent Palmetto Regiment, Col.

York volunteers and O'Brien's battery,
and led sudden dash along the aque-
duct toward the city. The enemy gave
way, and, seeing that, we pressed them
all the harder to prevent their reform

Gen. Worth should take the city by the

was given to him by the Admiral not

want any message from Gen. Scott at
that precise moment, and when the aides
de-camp got within speaking range and
said: Gen. Scott sends his compli-
ments to Gen. Shields | hollered out:
All right, but l haven't time to talk
with you now, wait bit" Gen. Scott,
seeing that we were still pushing ahead
at break-neck pace toward the city,
sent Gen. Quitman to me, and, my horse
having been shot under me, was on
foot explaining to Gen. Quitman that it
would be madness for us to desist from
our advantage, and that Gen. Scott
never would have ordered it if he knew
how gloriously we were advancing.
Oh! but he was a gallant soldier, was
Gen. Quitman, and generous one, and
instead of ordering me back he told me
to go ahead. So on we went, and in
less than twenty minutes we entered the
gdrrttd, or city gate, and unfurled the
first American flag in the City of Mex

Red Tape About a Pair Of Trousers.

One of the great national questions
which has occupied the wisdom of the
present Congress is embodied in House
bill No. 4,007, for the relief of Private
William Hines, of the United States
Army. This might be called Southern
claim, inasmuch as the incident which
originated it occurred in South Caro-
lima, this being nothing less than the
contiagration of the tent in which the
aforesaid Private Hines was reposing,
whereby he lost his trousers and a
blanket. The momentous event oc-
Cured Oct. II, 1876. There was
straightway convened a board of sur
vey, which found the tent ruined be-
yond repair and Hines clothing dam
aged to its full value; said value
amounting to eight dollars and sixty-fve
cents, for all which nobody was respon-
sible. The commanding officer natu-
rally issued other trousers and blanket
to the despoiled private, as it is not
safe to put a man on duty October
nights, even in South Carolina, without
trousers. But little did Capt. Lloyd
imagine the row his humane act was
going to make. The board of survey
had omitted to recommend the replac-
ing of Hines trousers and blanket, and
consequently Gen. Ruger, commander
of the Department of the South, in APP
proving the finding of the board, had
not warranted Capt Lloyd's rash and
lnconsiderate proceeding. Well, the
account went to the Quartermaster-
General, who disallowed it; then the
case went to the Adjutant- General at
Washington; then it returned TO the
company whence it started; then to Gen.
Ruger again, and up to Maj. Gen. Han
cock, who sent it once more to the Adj
jutant-General, who respectfully sub
mitted it to the Secretary of War, who
turned it over to Congress, where it
was referred to committee. The COM
mittee accordingly report bill 4,O07
aforesaid for the relief of Private Will
lam Hines-not without a genial sense
of the grandeur of the case which has
thus dragged along over eighteen
months time, and cost so much red
tape, paper and postage, not to speak
of Congressional salaries. We suppose
few pairs of trousers have cost more
than these humble army blues, which
deserve an historic fame even ahead of
William L. Marcy's-which he patched
at the States xpense.-Springfeld Re

One OF Widow Van Colts Stories.

Probably few Christians have had
the peculiar experience related by the
Widow Van Colt, the noted female
evangelist, at one of her recent revival
meetings at Grace M. Z. Church, in this
city. As we are informed by parties
present at the gathering in question,
and which was one of particularly fer
vid interest, Mrs. Van Colt catalogued
the worldly goods which she parted
with at her Masters behest. She had
some very fine diamonds, a good many
of them, too, but at the Lords COM
mand she laid them aside. Then He
wanted her gold chains, and bracelets,
and trinkets, and she gave them up,
too, but still the Lord wasn't satisfied,
but demanded her wedding ring. This
Mrs. Van Colt was very 10th to part
with. 1t was only little worn hoop,
but her husband had kissed it the last
thing before he died, and she prayed
the Lord to allow her to keep it. All
through service she prayed and en-
treated the Lord not to take the ring,
praying so earnestly about it that she
didn't hear the singing or the service,
but the Lord would have the ring, and
she at last realized that all the people
had gone, leaving her alone in the
church. Then the minister came and
took her to the carriage, and after they
had got in he said: "Sister Van Colt,
what's the matter?" but she told him
not to talk to her. Arrived at the
house, she asked all the family to pray
with her to the Lord not to insist ON
having her wedding ring. The minis
ter then said: "Sister Van Colt, the
Lord don't want your ring" whereat
she pointed over her shoulder and said:
"Get thee behind me-" They all
prayed, but the Lord would have the
ring anyway, so at last she loosened it
over her finger joint, and, putting her
hand down by her side, allowed the
precious relic to drop off. The present
whereabouts of the ring Mrs. Van Colt
did not explain, and considerable Curl
osity remains unsatistied.-Bufalo IN

tant in connection with light. Some
light tint, as drab with folding black
boards-ligEt color on the back-folded
when not in use, wouldmake great diff
ference in the light of the school-room.
Our desks in use could be improved
very materially, for the prevention of
STOPPING, by Ringing the front edge of
the desk-cover and attaching a NOV
able support beneath the upper edge so
that the slope could be increased or di-
minished at will. The light from q
window where the sun is not shining di-
rectly in is better than bright sunlight,
which should never fall directly on the
book or work. Artificial light is not as
good for reading or close work of any
kind as daylight. The best artificial
light is lamp-light from steady flame,
as the students lamp. Reading or
study in twilight, or before breakfast,
by artificial light, is injurious 1t is
also hurtful to read in the cars while in
motion.
The best position for reading is to sit
with the head erect or slightly thrown
back and with the left shoulder to the
light, so as to have the eyes in the shade
and the light falling obliquely on the
page. The book should be held from
twelve to eighteen inches from the eyes
and should be brought up instead of
bending the head to the book. Near
sighted persons increase their trouble
by holding the book nearer than is real
ly necessary to see well. After a Sc
we're illness of any kind, especially
measles, scarlatina or typhoid fever,
the eyes share in the general debility of
the body, but recover theirpower more
slowly, hence they should be used only
very moderately by convalescents.
When the eyes begin to ache and the
letters run together it is a warning that
they are being overtaXed, and require
rest. If the print blurs without much
use of the eyes, and if there is pain
when the eyes are used for ordinary
reading, glasses would probably re-
lieve those symptoms. The ordinary
method of selecting glasses without any
definite test is very hurtful to many who
do this, as improper glasses are some
times worse than being without any.
The best application for the eyes when
they become hot and tired from close
work is cold water.
Teachers usually know those scholars
who are very near-sighted by their ina
bility to see work on the blackboard,
and it would be well to favor such by
giving them seats near good light.
They should also caution them about
STOPPING, and especially about reading
and study at home. TITS better for such
scholars to be slow in acquiring an edx-
cation than to haze the eyes permanently
injured. The custom of introducing
school gymnastics, which often give a
change of position, more free circu-
lation of the blood, and frequently
allow the use of the eyes at distance
for a few minutes, is an excellent one.
These physical exercises should be
placed on level with scholastic work,
and proficiency in their execution
should be made condition of promo
ton, taking proper rank with other
acquirements.-Ertract from On i'd

The New York POstofilce.

UNDER Mr.. James administration a
system of genuine civil service has
grown up. He has steadily resisted the
demands of politicians that good clerks
shall be removed on account of their
lack of efficiency in ward politics. 1t is
said to be beautiful sight to see him
send for superintendent and ask what
kind of a man the clerk is, in the pres
ence of the statesmen of the Assem-
bly, district who are urging his removal.
A good report from the superintendent,
and polite: "You see, gentlemen,
that it is impossible to remove him, ="
ends it, except that the ward statesmen
never think well of the Postmaster
efficiency after that.
There is notion prevalent that with
every change of Postmaster a pretty
clean sweep of employees is made. But
only 104 removals have been made in
Postmaster James five years, and of
