SOMEBODY'S DARLING.

4 STORY THAT MAY BE FUtt OF iNrER.
EST IN SOME SOUTHERN HOME
The battle of Shiloh was fought'on
the 9Th and 9TH days Of April, 1862.
On the 9th of that month, with il par
ty of Federal olllccrs; / was visiting
the field, and short distance in ad-
vance Of where the main action had
been fought, in an open space, which
had escaped the flames that had
swept over portion Of the ground,
we discovered a dead fair-haired
Southern soldier apparently not more
than eighteen years Of age, his cloth
ing, consisting of loose Jacket,
u blouse and pants of plain home
spun material, either gray or brown,
and a slouched hat. lie lay upon
his back, his right arm extended out
towards his smoke-staincd musket,
which, with his powder-blackehcd lips,
and the nearly empty cartridc-bo&, !,
were mute evidences that he had
faithfully done his duty as q soldier.
The trunk Of n tree, about eighteen
inches IN diameter, which had been
severed by cannon shot, lay direct
ly across his legs below the knee,
holding him firmly to the ground.
This had evidently occurred after
death, as there was no indication OF a
struggle or of suffering.
One Of the party observing some.
thing protruding from the dead SOL
dicr's blouse above the belt, stopped
and drew forth knit blue yarn nit
ten, on the wrist Of which was en-
broidered in yellow yarn the name,
"W. Hail." The mittcn was laid
back upon his breast and we passed
on. AS l reached the fringes of un-
dergrowth that hemmcd in the small
open space in the timber, ! turned TO
take last look at the silent. sleeper,
and the scene was an impressive one.
That calm young face turned up to
the bright sunlight, the long auburn
curls ly ing in confusion around his
head, with the background Of shrub
berry, now green with the coming
spring, presented sad; quiet pic
.turc--such peaceful contrast with
the dread surroundings Of the burned,
blaclcned bodies Of men and horses;
shattered trees, broken artillery car
riagcs and equipments-an oasis, us
it were, amid the wreck Of battle that,
after a lapse Of sixteen years, it has
remained wildly before me. Per-
haps through your paper this may
reach the notice Of some of the friends
of the person named.
Although l cannot recollcct that
there was anything on the body to in
dicatc the regiment to which "W.
Hall" belonged, the impression left
upon my mind is that he was from
Mississippi. He was doubtless somc-
body's darling, who, equipped BY low
ing hands, and followed by mothers
blessing, went forth to the wars, TO
be thenceforth numbered among The
"unreturning brave"

Revenue from Advertisina.

: As to what>rcvenne comes. froin2stt
vertising, there can lie little said, as
this is part of the private business
of the concern, and figures are not
easy to arrive at. London and New
York papers, however, head the list,
and the London Times and New York
Herald enjoy the largest patronage of
any newspapers in the world. What
these papers receive is unknown, but
it is said that the proprietor Of the
London Times gave the receipts
Of one department Of his paper
to his wife for pocket money,
and it amounted to s4OO, 900 per year.
This is no doubt an cxaggeration of
probably forty diametcrs. Several
Partisan papers arc reported as re-
ceiving 100000 per year on adver-
ing, and number Of American pa
pcrs can equal and excel this amount.
Whatever the amounts, the question
is decided by more than 200 years Of
fair trial that advertising pays, and
thoroughgoing business men of the
nincteciith century considers a knowl-
edge of the best of means Of advo:tis-
ing almost as necessary in business
as knowledge Of goods he hes to
sell. -New York Times.
