How O Quatermaster Saved Lees Army.

Capt R. E. B. Hewetson, fomerly res
ident of Columbia, died last week in
Charleston. Though native of Ireland,
and the son of a British officer, Capt.
Hewetson was one of the first volunteers
in the late war, and went with
Gregg's Regiment to Virginia, and par
ticipated in thirty battles without receiv-
ing wound. At the second battle Of
Manassas he commanded his company
with conspicuous skill and daring, and
was afterwards com missioned as Quarter
master of the regiment. Later in the
war he was, for a considerable time, ac-
ting Qua-termaster of the brigade.
It was while he was Regimental Qaur.
termaster that Capt. Hewetson, with the
inspiration of the born commander, or.
ganized small force which repulsed the
enemy and saved Gen. Lees army. The
circumstances arc these: Capt. Hewetson
was at Williamsport, Immediately after
the defeat of the Confederates at Gettys.
burg. The Potomac was too high for
fording, and the reliance of Gen. Lee was
on the pontoon bridges. As soon as the
Confederatss fell back at Gettysburg, a
strong body of Fejeral cavalry was
pushed forward towards Williamsport,
where there was believed to be no con.
siderable number of Confederate troops.
In truth, there were no soldiers there ex.
cept some stragglers, and the sick and
wounded with the wagon trains. There
seemed to be nothing to prevent the enc.
my from occupying Williamsport, des.
troying the bridges and barring absolute
ly Gen. Lees retreat. Seeing the dan.
ger, Capt. Hewetson gathered together
teamsters of the army, armed them with
muskets found in the wagons, and with
this impromptu force, aided by hand
full of enfeebled and MANNED soldiers,
checked the enemy's advance, and gave
Bufprd's cavalry so warm reception that
the Confederates were supposed to be in
full strength and the advance was aban-
doned. The Battle of the Teamsters, as
itwa called, was the salvation of the
shattered and worn Army of Northern
Virginia, and of that battle, SO momen-
tous and SO little known, Capt. Hewetson
was the hero. Few old soldiers even,
outside of the circle of his immediate
comrades and acquaintances, knew that
the modest and retiring Capt. Hewetson
was the central figure in one of the most
dranatic incidents of the war.

The Reason Why.

Can anybody tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one Of Adams ribs, a
hired girl wasn't made at the time to wait
on herr
We can easily! Because Adam never
came whining to Eve with ragged
stocking to be darned, collar string TO
be sewed on, o glove to be mended,
"right away, quick nowp' Because be
never read the newspaper until the sun
got down behind the palm tree, and then
stretched himself, yawning out, CANT
supper most ready, my dear?"
He made the fire and hung over the tea
kettle himself, we'll venture, and pulled
the radishes, and peeled the bananas and
did everything else that he ought to-! He
MIXED the COW and fed the chickens, and
looked after the pigs himself. He never
brought home balf dozen to dinner,
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates
and the mango season was over!
He never stayed out until II o'clock
to "ward meeting" hurrahing for the
candidate, and then scolding because
poor dear Eve was sitting up and crying
inside the gates. To be sure be acted
rather cowardly about apple.gathering
time, but then that don't depreciate his
general helpfulness about the garden |!
He never played billiards, nor drove fast
horses, nor even choked Eve with cigar
smoke.
He never loafed around corner grocer
les while solitary Eve was rocking little
Gains cradle at home.
In short, be didn't think she was spec
tally created for the purpose of waiting
on him, and wasn't under the impression
that it disgraced man to tighten his
wife's cares little.
That's the reason that Eve did not need
hired girl, and we wish it was the rea-
son that none OF her fair descendants
did?

The situation in Ireland continues
to advance in the wrong direction.
Nothing could be more unhappy than
the condition OF affairs as reported by
cable. The coercion bill has resulted in
no good, but rather increasing the anger
of the tenantry, while the land reform
bill hangs fire in Parliament and makes
little progress, while it should have been
the FIRST business. Mr.. Gladstone seems to
have undertaken tn. work of reform
wrong end first, instead ofpreparing the
way for peace has made matters worse
than ever. The outlook was never worse
than at present.

Jacksonville, Fla, is very pretty
place, and has many very handsome
houses in it, and number of very large
hotels. The hotels are only opened in
the winter, and then they are filled to
their uttermost with travellers seeking q
mild climate. The streets are we'll
shaded with long rows of live oaks,
which almost entirely shut out the rays
of the sun, thus making it pleasant even
in the warmest weather. The streets are
in poor condition for carriage driving.
Upon most of them the sand is not less
than foot deep, thus making item rsry
dusty and hard for team to travel fast
upon.

Good Principles.

At the golden anniversary of the
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Wheeler of Glenwood, Ia, there
were two features we especially de-
sired to notice. One was the short
address of Mr.. Wheeler, counseling
his kins folk: "In all times and
under all circumstances be honest
and true, for there is no principle in
life that if followed will give more
satisfaction and promote the enjoy
ment of more happiness than the
practice of honesty, truth and virtue
among men, and nothing contributes
so much to the misery and unhappi-
ness of the world as the lack of
virtue, truth and honesty. Be true
to yourselves and to your fellow
men, aud you will be richer in this
possession than with all the world
beside"
The other is a paragraph by the
editor of the Glenwood Journal in
which he says that "the rule is with
men who are successful in life, that
the habit of getting gain so fastens
itself into their organizations that
they prefer to let their children make
their way in the world as best they
can, and after the death of the par
ents, to quarrel over a division of
the estate. Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler
preferred to make the division of
their property chiefly while their
children were at the proper age to
appreciate it and benefit them the
most--serving the boys and girls
alike as to patrimony, and offering
friendly advice as to its use."

Reunion Notes.

Company ID, Hummer Guards re-
turned home Saturday, and gave a
specimen of their drill before going
to their armory. In their new uni
forms they made a handsome ap-
pearance.
The rain Tuesday night, Wednes.
day and Wednesday night interfered
somewhat with the full enjoyment
of the occasion. The other days
were splendid, and we heard no one
express regret at attendance.
About 5000 veterans were pres
ent.
The pavilion in the center of the
camp held 400 and nightly camp
fires were led by Paul Vandervoort
of Omaha.
Speeches were delivered by Mar
quett, Henderson, Carnahan, Ekin,
Clarkson, Mrs. Colby, Mrs. Bitten
bender and others.
At the sham battle on Friday it is
estimated that there were 1900
present.
At one time a pick-pocket who
was caught in camp came very near
ly losing his life by a squeeze in
the crowd.
1t is thought that hereafter there
will be disposition manifested to
hold these annual reunions in or
near smaller cities than Lincoln, go
that metropolitan attractions will
not detract from the interest proper
OF the camp, and thus demoralize
the army boys who attend for the
sake of auld lang syne.

Telegraphic Summary.

DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 7.--Word has
been received here that Mrs. Allison
wife of Senator w. B. Allison had
attempted to drown herself On Sat-
urday last, in Silver Lake, New
York, during temporary alteration
of the mind produced by illness.
She has been suffering from nervous
prostratiOn for year past and spent
most of the winter and spring in
Philadelphia under medical treat
ment. During the summer she has
been at the water-cure i'm CASTLE, N.
Y, but had improved so much in
health that Senator Allison had re-
turned to Dubuque, and her foster
mother, Mrs. Grimes, had also left.
On Saturday last she was suddenly
taken worse, and while suffering
from her illness walked four miles
to Silver Lake, and deliberately en-.
tered the water with a determina-
ton to end her life. She was fortu-
nately rescued and returned to her
hotel,

Water Works.

The editor of the Fremont Herald,
who was lately at Grand Island,
gives this description of the water
works there, which seem to give
general satisfaction:
"They are run by the U. p. Co.
and the water is furnished by two
large steam pumps and through 500
feet of hose and Ia nozzle, will
throw a stream of water l25 feet in
the air, in a curved line. After the
engines had been pumping for ten
consecutive hours the supply OF
water had not perceptibly diminish
ed. For the ordinary supply of the
city the water is pumped into the
large r. II. water tank and from this
flows into the mains, by which means
pressure enough is found for Ordi-
nary purposes. In case of fire the
engines pump directly into the
mains, making powerful pressure.
Hydrants are located at convenient
places all over town."

Nudge Maxwell.

OF course all, well-posted Demo-
Gratis are morally certain that Re-
publican State officials will be
elected this fall; which being the
case they feel commendable inter-
est in the Republican nominations
to be made. All are deeply inter-
ested in the makeup of our supreme
court as well as in those who shall
share in the management of the state
university. We have no doubt that
the Herald of Fremont, Democrat
ic paper, speaks the sentiment of the
great body of the Democracy when
it says:
"We hope Judge Maxwell will be
placed in nomination by the Repub-
licans for supreme Judge this fall,
for if we must have a Republican,
we can find no better man in the
state for the position"

SORROwFUL SIGHTS.

DETROIT, Sept. 9.--Fires seem to
be abating. A Port Austin dispatch
saws the loss of lives on the top of
the burned peninsula by Monday
and Tuesdays fires is estimated at
from two to three hundred. The
following villages were burned: ::
Bad Axe, Verona, Forest Bay, Rich
mondville, Charleston, Anderson,
Dickersonville, Harrisonville and
Sandusky. The following were
partly burned: Port Hope, Minden
and Uubley. The country suffered
vastly more than the villages. Sag
inaw, Tuscols and Lspeer counties,
one tier back from the lake are great
ly damaged, but not nearly as much
as the shore counties but in each of
these favored counties hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty have been destroyed. 1t is
hoped the rain has now stopped the
fires. Everything is now necessary
to help the destitute--lumber, cloth
ing, provisions and seed grain. E.
G. Carlton, mayor, or Senator o. ID.
Conger, of Port Huron, will receive
supplies.
RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERERS.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 9.--Relief meas
ures for Michigan has begun.
DANGER FROM FIRES ABOUT OVER.
DETROIT, Sept. 9.--The danger
from fires is about over. The lowest
estimate gives two hundred and fif-
teen families burned out. Small
towns and poor people are the chief
sufferers, and they are utterly dazed
and unnamed. Sixty-five burials
are already reported in six towns
and twenty. seven dead are said to
be unbound in the country between
Bad Axe and Port Hope. Relief is
going forward rapidly, and reports
came from all principal cities of aid
coming.

run right up onto the engine. There
were three men and boy in the
caboosc at the time, and they were
thrown violently some distance out
of the car, it being smashed all into
small pieces. One of the men was
badly injured about the head and
the boys leg broken. The others
escaped with a severe shaking up.
No passengers were injured, altho'
the train left the track and was
pretty badly demoralized. The ca
boose and two cattle cars were COM
pletely wrecked. Forty cattle in
cars were killed outright. The little
boy had a most miraculous escape
from death. He was thrown from
the caboose down under the engine,
but happened to light in such a
position that he only suffered the
breaking of his leg. A special train
was made up at Des Moines, and the
passengers transferred to it. A tenn
porary track was laid around the
wreck and the train proceeded on
its way.-O. Bee, Sept. oh.

Fearful Wreck.

On the Short Line Railroad, sew
enteen miles out of Louisville, KY,
on the 9Th, as the train, consisting OF
an engine, baggage car and two pas
senger cars, approached Floyd's
Fork bridge, the engine struck a
cow, cut off her fore legs and was
thus derailed, the whole train falling
about thirty feet down from the
track to the bed of the creek. All
the train is a total wreck. Among
the killed were a stranger from Cal
ifornia; Mr.. Perry, bookkeeper at
Applegates, on Second street, Louis
Vile Col. Fielding Neel, of Shelby
vile; Capt. William Maddox, mar
shal of Shelbyville; Walter Scarce,
of Shelbyville; Thomas Buchanan,
of Louisville. There are supposed
to be two or three others under the
wreck. Among the seriously injur-
ed are Alex. Afford, a lawyer at
lib Fifth street, Louisville, and the
fireman on the engine, Gibson, 9th
ers are more or less hurt. But few
escaped without injury. Conductor
Petry, engineer Honnaker and bag
gage-master Humberton are hurt,
but not seriously.

HE President.

On tuesday OF last week Inc pres
ident was removed from the White
House at Washington to the Frank
lev cottage at Long Branch.
At 40 he was carried from the
sick room to the express wagon, re-
clining on the bed on which he has
been languishing for so many days.
He appeared greatly emaciated, his
face careworn and thin. When his
party reached the depot there were
1000 persons had assembled to catch
a glimpse of the sufferer.
There was no mishap along the
entire route of travel, the road be-
ing kept open, and the destination
being reached at 1:20 p. m. The
president pronounced it the most
interesting day since he was shot.
At6: 80 the evening bulletin was
issued, showing the presidents pulse
l24, temperature l0l. 6, respira-
ton Is.
Drs. Reyburn, Surgeon General
Barnes, DIR. Woodward and Mrs.
Edison have been dismissed from the
case, at the request of the president.
The first day after arrival was
intensely hot at the cottage, but the
weather since has been much more
favorable, and the patient has been
reported as better in every import
ant respect.
On the Sth the pulse had fallen
from los to "a, temperature 9S.4, res
piration IL. His appetite was much
better, and he had relished his food,
considerable of it being solid; be-.
sides which his mind had dwelt
more on outside subjects than for
some time past. When given some
chicken he remarked to his wife
that he felt as if he could eat it all.
He was in good spirits.
On the 9th Secretary Blaine's tel
egram to Minister Lowell was as
follows:
"The medical reports were all fs-
vorable to-day, at morning, noon
and night. The President has not
for many weeks done so well for so
many consecutive hours. He has
had very little fever: his respiration
has been normal and his pulse has
not exceeded 100. He has slept
without opiates and gained strength
without stimulant. His nights are
not so restful as could be desired,
but in twenty-four hours he gets
sufficient sleep. The weather con-
tinues sultry and oppressive. Much
is hoped from the clear, bracing air
here at this season."
Last Saturdays dispatches indi-
cate favorable night for the presi-
dent. His appetite was excellent
and no trouble of any sort with his
stomach or bowels. The coast hur-
ricane had reached Norfolk, and its
forerunner seemed to have reached
Long Branch. The wind was fresh
from the southeast, and it had been
raining steadily since daylight. The
official bulletin issued at 9 a. m, by
Drs. Agnew and Bliss, reads:
"At the examination of the presi-
dent at 8: 30 this morning the tenn
perature was SO, pulse 104, respira-
ton Is. He slept well during the
night, awakening only at intervals of
half an hour each. There is a per-
ceptible increase of strength with an
improved condition of the digestive
apparatus. The tumefaction of the
parotid has entirely disappeared,
and the suppuration has greatly di-
minished. The wound continues to
improve, and presents a more
healthy appearance"
Sep. l2th--The presidents con-
dition is not so satisfactory. 1t is
feared that pus cavities are forming
or will form in the lungs and liver.
