A Story Of the War.

During the cessation of she firing at
Spottsylvania, which lasted about five
minutes, the writer took view of the
battlefield before us. Immediately in our
front were two lines of battle. The first
connected with our works to the right,
which were still held by the enemy and
gradually receded as he extended to his
right, thus taking advantage of the ra-
vine. The second line lay about two
hundred yards in the rear of the first,
while the artillery was posted abontfou
or five hundred yards in his rear. The
field presented one vast Golgotha in inn
mensity of the number of the dead. On
our front and Gordon's and Battles, and
extending to the woods beyond, the
ground was almost covered with the
dead and wounded, while between the
lines they were literally piled. This was
owing to the number Of guns used by
the Confederates in the desperate as
sault made by the Federals. The writer
counted fifteen stand of colors lying be-
tween the lines, some of them having
fallen against our breastworks-the
brave hands which had born them so
gallantly forward now cold in death.
Suddenly a large, tine-looking officer,
who | think was a Captain, stepped
forward and came upon the works, re-
marking: "Well, boys, 1 suppose you
have all surrendered" Receiving a
negative reply, he asked for the COM
manding officer. Major Council, Of the
Sixteenth, stepped up and said:
81 am, sir" When the officer again
remarked: "Well, sir, I suppose you
have all surrendered?"
Major Council replied: "No, sir !;
we have not surrendered, but consider
yourself q prisoner"
Then the officer boldly and firmly an
swered, "I'l die first!' and turned on
his heel slowly and deliberately attempt
cd to return to his own lines as cody as
though there was no enemy within ten
miles of him. lie was repeatedly called
on to halt or he would be shot, but he
paid not the slightest attention, when
some one shot him. He fell about thirty
PAGES in front of our works. The cour-
age and daring of this brave but rash
man | think has never been equaled
during the war. VIII some of the Fed
eral survivors at that point give his
name? For one who could be so insen-
sible to fear should have his name in
scribed in the temple of fame. Proba-
bly, Mr.. Galloway recollects the Incl
dent, as he says his (Uptoh's) brigade
occupied the position. Many OF the
Mississippians, and none more than the
writer, regretted the fate Of that brave
spirit But after learning our weakness
on the right it would have been self
destruction to have permitted him to re-
turn to his own lines When the fatal
shot was fired it was the signal for the
musketry to break forth in all its fury,
which never ceased till next morning

Confidence Misplaced.

Mary Ward, colored, who lives at No.
AL Main Street, is the latest victim Of
misplaced confidence. To her came
Margaret Jones, q hoodoo priestess, and
said:
"Do you pine for the solace that love
alone can bring?"
81 pine," replied Mary.
"Then," said Margaret, 81 can put
you on to racket that will make you
solid with the sterner sex. Get few
potions of whisky, a piece of cloth that
has never been used, and some black
pepper. Mix de pepper and whisky and
wet de cloth with it. Put a half dollar
in de cloth, and put it under yer piller,
and you kin ketch any man you want.
Only don't open de bag"
Mary went over to a white lady who
lived across the way, and borrowed the
fifty cents and the piece of cloth. She
brought it over and Mrs. Jones took
hold Mary thought she saw her put
the coin in the cloth. This, as was af-
terward demonstrated, was an optical
delusion.
Margaret whirled the improvised bag
around from the end of a string, telling
Mary to watch the bag and not her hand,
or else it would break the charm, re-
peating meantime the distich:
st. Peter, st. james and st. Paul,
/ call ON one and call on all,
DO make dis charm secure and Sho'
'Gainst all dc men and debils hyar below.
Mary, as ordered, watched the bag.
She did not see the motive power given
the string by Margaret's sinewy fingers,
and supposed the invocation did the
work.
She pnt the magic bag under her pill
low and dreamed Of a dusky Adonis,
whom she hand long wished to catch.
A few days passed, and his manly
form darkened not her door. Then
womanly curiosity took possession OF
her mind. Like the Lady Of Shallott,
she broke the spell put upon her. She
opened the bag and found therein, not
the half dollar it should have contained,
but the pewter top of a pickle jar about
the same size and consistence.
Mary was naturally in bad way. Her
confidence had been abused, and the
tenderest feelings of her nature outraged.
She gave information against the hoodoo
priestess, and had her arrested for SWIM
dling.-NeDaphis AtaIaache.

A Day That is Dead.

"The day that is dead has for men Q
more actual, more tangible, q. more
vivid identity than the day that exists,
nay, than the day as yet unborn. One
of the most characteristic delusioris of
humanity is its incapacity for enjoyment
of the present. Life is journey in
which people are either looking forward
or looking back. Nobody has the wis
dom to sit down fer half an hour in the
shade, listening to the birds overhead,
examining the flowers under foot. 1t it

What fun we shall have tomorrow
Never, How happy we are to-day

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.


1t is said that iron or steel immersed

soda for q few minutes will not rust for
years. .,.. ~.
Potato starch is said to be the latest
adulterant of cheese, and, in point Of
cleanliness at least, has the advantage
over refined soap grease.
M. Bellini, of Florence, advocates
the use of iodide of starch as auantidote
for poisons in general, and, as it has no
disagreeable taste and is free from the
irritant properties OF iodine, it can be
administered in large doses; also, with
out fear in all cases where the poison is
unknown.
The Rochester street ears are to be
propelled by compressed air, supplied

the machinery, including an iron tower

ing established at the foot of the falls.
The section of the Brazilian sub
marine cable from Para to Cayenne is
useless, owing to the destruction of its
insulation by fish bites. These bites
take place only within distance of for

in the estuary of the Amazon. Exam
ination shows that the cable is attacked
by some powerful fish, whose jaws crush
the iron sheathing of the cables and dis
place the insulating substance.
The trade in pine straw and leaves,
which was started in Wilmington, N C.,
about two years ago, has increased so
rapidly that the demand cannot be sup
piled. The leaves are much used in the
North for stufling mattresses and other
purposes. A Southern paper says there
is a much richer bonanza in straw and
leaves than in cotton, and yet thousands
upon thousands of pounds are destroyed
yearly, without any attempt made to
utilize them.
Prof Beal, at the Michigan Agricul-
tural College, has ten hundred different
grasses and clovers growing, each in q

to make the collection, which is being
added to yearly. Each species is labeled
with both the common and scientific
names, enabling those who visit the col
lege to make their examination both
useful and entertaining. Six sets OF
seeds from these plats have been sent to
as many different colleges.

Remains Lying in State.

WASHINGTON, Sept p.
The remains of President Garfield have, to
this hour 90 a. m.) been viewed by over 25 900
persons During the entire night steady
stream of humanity poured through the Capt.
tol building to take last look From 5000 to
5000 people are now in two lines from the east
to the front of the Capitol, for long distance
through the east door of the rotunda, on eth
er side of the remains, and out through the
west door at the rate of about 900 per hour.
Every incoming train upon the several rail-
roads is heavily freighted with those coming
to testify their profound sorrow at the Ma
tion's bereavement. Four very elaborate and
exquisitely beautiful flower pieces, received
from the White House, have been placed at
the head of the bier. Other floral tributes
have also been received and placed about the
catafalque.

Across the top and crossing each other were

At half-past nine O'Clock Chief Justice

and Mrs. Window, Secretary and Mrs. Hunt,
Postmaster General James and Secretaries
Lincoln and Kirkwood and Attorney General
MacVeagh arrived at Francklyn Cottage and
the doors were closed to visitors. Religious

When the moment for services was announced
the windows and doors were closed and the
most solemn silence prevailed. He then read
from Revelations, xiv, 13-"Blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from

Next he turned to the 18th chapter of First
Corinthians and read from the beginning of
concluding with a prayer.
AT the conclusion of the brief services the
remains were borne to the car prepared for
their removal to Washington, and in few
moments the train, heavily draped in mourn :
ing, was speeding on its way.

President Arthur,S Family.

The household now called to the White
House by the death of President Garfield has
no lady presiding over it. President Arthur
lost his wife a year ago last January, and
acute feeling over her loss is among the sad
reflections which press upon the President at
this time. She was the daughter of Lieut.
Commander Herndon, of the United States
Navy who went down ON his ship, the Central
America. gold medal i'll recognition OF his
bravery was voted by Congress to his widow
and a monument to his memory was erected
in the Naval Academy grounds at Annapolis.
Nlr. Arthur married Miss Herndon in the
carly part of his career as lawyer in New
York City. lie has two children, one youth
of II; named after his father, but called Allen
by the family; the other, a girl of II, NAMED
Nellie The President has one brother, Maj
VIM. Arthur, of the regular Army. He has
three married sisters. Of these Mrs Mary
McElroy, of Albany, has spent much OF her
time at his house. and has looked as much
after his household affairs as she could.
President Arthur's accession to his new re-
sponsibilities has been too recent for him to
give any consideration to family arrange
ments for his residence at Washington, but if
the cares of her own family will permit, Mrs.
McElroy will most probably be the lady VINO

in searching for the ball alone was nearly
three fourth of an hour. The Doctor stated
further the point of the ball was in some

the force with which it struck the rib, while
in other respects its original shape was not

A Mournful Journey.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81.
The special train bearing the remains of
President Garfield, which left Elberon at 10 a..
m., reached Washington at 4: 80 p. m. The
passage from ElberOn to Washington was a
continued manifestation of sympathy and
sorrow. In populous cities, in smaller vii
lagos, and even the country through which
the mournful train passed, demonstrations of
sympathy and sorrow were everywhere pres
ent In the larger cities multitudes of people
assembled and stood absolutely silent, with
heads uncovered, as the train passed by,
while the tolIing of bells, flags at half mast,
and funeral drapery which covered many
buildings all added to the solemnity of the
scene. At numerous points along the route
beautiful floral offerings were strewed, and in
several places the tracks were literally COW
cred for more than 100 yards with ferns and
flowers. Even in the country, along the route
of the railroad, there was no lack of evidence
of affection, regard, sympathy and sorrow
Men, women and children collected on the
pOrticos of residences near the track, at cross
lngs and embankmentS commanding a near
view of the passing train, and with bowed
and uncovered heads, for the feeting instant
that the train rushed past, gave evidence of
their sorrow. Laborers in fields watched the
coming of the train bearing the dead Presi-
dent, and with bowed and uncovered heads
stood mute and sorrowful while the funeral

THE QUEENS TRIBUTE.

Queen Victoria cablcd this morning to the
British Minister to have a floral tribute pre-
pared and presented in her name. 1t has
just been received at the Capitol, and placed
at the head of the bier of the President. 1t is
very large, and is an exquisite specimen of
the florists art, composed of white roses,
snilaX an dstephanotis. 1t was accompanied
by mourning card bearing the following in
sclipton:
"Queen Victoria to the memory of the late
President Garfield, an expression of her sor-
row and sympathy with Mrs. Garfield and the
American nation.'
