You may not be aware that it was General
Gordon's command which struck tho flank
of tho eleventh corps on the afternoon Of
tho first day at Gettysburg and, after n
short but desperate conflict, broke lts lines
aud swept it from the field
In that fight General Barlow, of Now
York, commander of the first division, fell
dangerously, and, it, was thought, nortalIy
wounded. ile was shot directly through
tbs body. Two Of his men attempted to
bcur him through that shower of lead from
the field, but one was instantly killed, and
General Barlow mugnonimously said to the
other: "1ou can do me no good; save YOUR
self if you can" Gordons brigade of
Georgans, in its wild charge, swept over
him, and lc was found by General Gordon
himself, lying with up-turncd facc in the
hot July sun, nearly paraYzcd and appar.
ently dying General Gordon dismounted
from his horse, gave him drink of water
from his cantsen, und inquired of Gcc cral
Barlow his name and wishes.
General Barlow said: "I shal probably
live butn short time. Please take from nv
breast pocket the packet of my wifc's letters
and read ono of them to me-" which was
done. fIe then asked that the others bo

and he did. Then directing General Bar
low to be borne to the shade of tree at the
rear, he rode with his command. The wife
received the message and camo harmcssly
through both lines of battle and found her
husband, who eventually recovered.

United Suites Senate, both lie and General
Barlow were invited to dinner party in

General Barlow, and the thrilling effect
upon the company, Gun better be imagined
than described. - Boston transcript.

IMPORTANT RULING or JUDdE Thomson
At the recent term of Court here, before
Judge Thomson, tho case of Rev. Isauc
Grant against Hannah Grant, both colorcd.
suit for divorce on tie alleged ground Of
adultery, was called. The defendant, Han.
nah Grant did not appear in person nor by
attorney. The plaintiff wos represented by
u. A. Strakcr, colored lawyer from Or.
angcburg. This case had beer on docket
previous to the passugc Of the act repeating
the divorce law, and it was expected, when
called only to be heard and proof made of
the allegations contained in the complaint.
Judge Thomson, however, Informed tho
plaintiffs attorney that he entertained grave
doubts about tho Courts jusaiction of tho
subject, whcrcupon Mr.. Strakcr, who snid
he apprehendcd such objection, argued: lst.
That tho late act could not affect the rights
OF litigant parties to an action pending at
its passage. Cd. Tint the act, if construed
to deny the rights of parties to coptroct
or totally abrogate existing legal remedies,
was void, because it impaired the obligation
of contract. The counsel made several
other points in support Of the Courts iu-.
risdiction, but tho judge, after severa,
hours dehcrataon, dismissed the complaint,
upon the ground that tho late act DESTROYED
all power of the Court in reference to suits
for divorce Notice of appeal to the Su-
prcme Coult was given. -Kcrsha,o Gazette.

Presence Of Mind.

Professor Wilder gives these short rules
for action in case of accident: For dust III
the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash water into
them. Remove cinderS, etc, with the round
point of lead pencil. Remove insects
from the ear by tepid water; never put Il
hard instrument into the ear. If an artery
is cut, compress above the wound; if a vein
is cut, compress below. If chokcd, get upon
all tours and cough For light burns dip
the part in cold water; if the skin is de-
stroye,l, cover with varniSh. Smother a
fire with carpets, etc; water will often
spread burning oil and increase the danger.
Before passing through smoke, take a full
breath, and then stoop low, but if carbon is
suspected, walk erect. Suck poison wounds,
unless your mouth is sore; enlarge the
wound, or, better, cut out the part without
delay. Hold the wounded part as long as
can be borne to 4 hot coal or end of a cigar.
In case of poisoning, excite vomiting by
tickling the throat by water or mustard.
For acid poisous, give acids; in case of opium
poison, give strong coffee and keep moving.
If in water, float on the back, with the nose
and mouth projecting. For apoplexy, raise
the head and body: for faintiIg, lay the per-
! son Hat

is no reason why the smith should strike n

CHOICE FICTION.
MRS, STOUGHToN'S DIAMOND.

Greta had seen her household gods fall
about her before she was able to put pride
into her pocket, where there was plenty of
room, and turn her hand to the only work
she understood. 1t was some five years
since she had begun to go out by the day
to make and mend carpets, old and new,
for the housekeepers of Hampton. She had
plenty of employment now, some money in
the bank, and lover. She looked forward
to the time, not So far off, when she should
begin upon her own carpets, when the
money in the bank would he drawn out to
buy the parlor set and the household linen,
pictures and knickknackery perhaps, the
wedding gown and bride-cake. She some
times diverted herself with these thoughts,
while sewing up the tedious seams of Mrs.
CaShmere'S Brussels, matching the faded
figures in Parson Needy'S three-ply, which
had been patched and darned and turned
more times than she had fingers and toes.
1t used to amuse her sometimes to observe
that the drawing room carpets finally grad
uated in the attic, going through the pre-
IGuEatbIN tbulSt Ill SltilllS lpOlll,
room, nursery, and parlor-chamber. She
had been working for Mrs. Stoughton for
several days, when her troubles began, and
had gone home, quite tired ont with the
conflict over that lady's chamber carpet,
which had seen its best days. She had been
obliged to rip and match figures and insert
patches to deceive the very elect, and at the
end Mrs. Stoughton had told her she would
settle the bill when she heard from her hus-
band, who had gone away on business, and
taken the key Of the money drawer with
him by mistake. Greta shrewdly suspected
that the drawer was as empty as a drum,
but made no demur. She would oblige
neghbor, and never remember it.
The day following she was engaged at
DIR. Cardamon'S, when she heard Fred rush
in from school, and shout

What nonsense. But that evening, when
she returned to her lodgings, she found a

Women Eying Women.

The eying of women by women is one Of
the most offensive manifestations of super
ciliouSness now to he met with in society.
Few Observant persons cannot have failed
to notice the manner in which one woman,
who is not perfectly wel-bred or perfectly
kind hearted, will eye another woman who
she thinks is not in such good society, and,
above all, not the time in so costly dress
as she herself is in. 1t is done every where;
at parties, at church, in the street. 1t is
done by women in all conditions of life.
The very servant girls learn it of their mis-
tresses 1t is done in an instant. Who
cannot recall hundreds of instances of that
sweep of the eye which takes i'll at a glance

will thus endeavor to assert superiority
upon the meanest of all pretenses and in

because it cannot be resented, and admits OF
no retort. If they but only knew how UNI
lovely, how positively offensive they make
themselves in SO doing, not only to their
silent victims, but to every generous-hearted
man who observes their manrverS, they
would give upa triumph at once so mean
and so cruel which is obtained at such "a
sacrifice on their part. No other evidence
than this eying is needed, that 4 woman,
whatever he her birth or breeding, has Il
