A STORY OF THE WAR.
Francis q. harlow and John h
Gordon.

u
Gordon.
The Boston Transcript says:
"You may not be aware that it was
General Gordon's command which
struck the flank Of the Eleventh Corps
on the afternoon of th- first day at
Gettysburg, and after short but des-
perste conflict broke its line and swept
it from the field.
ain that fight General Barlow, OF
New York, commander OF the First
Division, fell dangerously and it was
thought mortally wounded. He was
shot directly through the body. Two
of mis- men attempted to bear him
through that shower of lead from the
ield; but one was instantly killed, and
General Barlow magnanimonsly said TO
tho other: You can do me no good;
save yourself If you can Gordon's
brigade of Georgians in its wild charge
swept over him, and he was found by
General Gordon himself, lying with
upturned face in the hot July sun,
nearly paralyzed and apparently dy.
ing. General Gordon dismounted from
his horse, gave him drink Of water
from his canteen, and inquired OF Gen
eral Barlow his name and wishes.
General Barlow said: Il shall pro-
badly live but a short time. Please
take from my breast pocket the packet
of my wife'a letters and read enc to me,
which was done. lie then asked that
tn. others he torn up, as lte did not
wish them to fall into other hands.
This General Gerdon did, and then
asked: Can do anything else for you,
Generalr Yes, seplied General Barlow
earnestly; my wife is behind our army;
can you send a message through the
linesl' 'Csrtainly | will, said Cor
don and hs did, Then directing Gene
raj Barlow to be born. 10 rEe shade Of
tree at the rear, he rode on with his
command. The wife received the mes
sage, and came harmlessly through both
lines of battle, and found her husband,
who eventually recovered.
"Since Genera Gordons election to the
United States Senate, btth hs and Gen,
eral Barlow were invited to a dinner
party in Washington, and occupied op.
posite seats at the table. After intro
ductioDs General Gorden said: General
Barlow, ars you related to the officer Of
your name who was killed at Gettys
burg ?" Il SIN the man, said Barlow.
Are you related to the Gordon who il
su ppos-d to have killed me p Il am tht
man, said General Gordon. The hearty
greeting which followed the touchNas
story, al related to the interested
guests by General Barlow, and the
thrilling eject upon the company, can
be better imagined than described -

CurLOus Case Oi Matr rinaOntal I'm
pleasantneSS.

From the Springfield Republican.
There is little sensation in Germa n
circles of Pittsfeld just now. A widow
woman..with some property, tired of wild
owhood, on visit to New York recently,
took unto herself husband, and the
twain returned to pittsiield to live in
the residence of the widow. But there
was such a breeze raised by the child
rem and so many threats were made
that she had to bundle her new lord to
the city again, whence he writes that he
is in the deepest anguish and anxiety,
but does not dare to come to Berkshire.
The affair has caused a good deal of
comment in their circle, and the wo-
man is determined to have her spouse ul.
tinately in spite Of all opposition.

South American Incident.

A characteristic incident of south
American politics is reported by the
Buenos Ayres correspondent Of the
Cologne Gazette Don Carlos Soto for
merly consul of the republic of Uruguay
in London, organized conspiracy
against the life of Col. Latorre, governor
of the republic. AS he was describing
his plan of action at meeting Of the
conspirators held in q room OF the bar
racks of the Sd regiment of the line, the
door opened suddenly and Latorre
walked in. Advancing upon Soto, the
governor quietly said: Before you kill
me, Carlos, will kill you," and struck
him on the head with loaded whip.
Soto fell to the ground, and a soldier of
the governors suite dispatched him
with dagger. Notwithstanding this,
Latorre is, says the correspondent, al
most popular in Uruguay.

A Crisis.

Suppose that upon the announcement Of each
new Invention. all using similar inventions should
order at once, who can fancy the bedam that
would ensue? How novel to use patent
charm daily, and wash three or four times week
in order to keep pace with the new washing and
wringing machines that would pour in from
every quarter! Think OF the farm covered with
patent ploWs, rakes, mowers, etc, etc. Think,
too, OF the poor invalid who would only have time
to draw the cork, and take one dose of the latest
medicine, when the druggist would rush in with
still later, much better more certain, and more
wonderful catholicon. Fortunately, the people
are conservative, and reluctantly discard the
trusted, tried. and true for the glamour of
Nowhere is this principal better demonstrated
than in the steady and gradually increasing sale
ofDr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. which for over
quarter OF century has held the field against all
others, and has from one generation to another
given entire satisfaction. It's cures are numbered
by thousands

they gave me a pretty room, which
they called sun-chamber, that is to

which he does not accomplish very
often. He did not get up at all the

uncomfortable, but it was true. When |
had bathed my wounds [ went out to
the Corso, where | met my friend who
had many pleasant things to say Of my
appearance.
The next night the same thing, the
same playing of the little-winged tam
