but the movement was fearful Iniii-
tary blunder, because the chances were
all against dislodging and routing a
powerful army, having all the advan-
tage Of position and firing from breast
works upon our unprotected regiments.
After the defeat and retreat across the
river | was sitting late at night in an
old house, in Falmouth. writing my ac-
count of the battle by the light of tai
low candle, VIII n, to my surprise, saw
Gen. Burnside enter the room. He
looked like a man stunned and dazed.
Oblivious of my presence, ne threw
himself upon big, old-fashioned bed,
which, beside the table on which | was
writing, was the only piece of furniture
in the room, and exclaimed: My God,
what have | done What dreadful
calamity What terrible sacrifice of
life for no good I For some minutes
he continued to groan and lament the
disaster in broken CALCULATIONS. After
while he became calmer, and seemed
to gradually realize where he was.
Suddenly he rose from the bed and
walked out of the room without MOTTO
ing me. | never mentioned to him his
strange nocturnal visit to my quarters,
and of course said nothing Of it in my
correspondence. He was no doubt half
cfazed by grief over the defeat at the
time, but by the next morning he had
Iegained his soldierly dignity and calm.
"He took upon himself all the blame
or the disaster in the most manly fash
ion, not seeking to shield himself be-
hind the decision of the council of war,
aud he promptly asked to be relieved
from the command of the army.
Burnside was one of the most kind
hearted men. He w2s asscourteous to
the private soldiers as to the officers,
returning their salutes and often stop
ping to talk with them as he walked
through the camps or rode past regi-
ment resting on march. Men liked
to serve under him because of his care
full attention to the personal welfare of
his troops, commissary supplies, doc
toring, hospital service, and the like,
and of his kindly manner toward all
subordinates. He could not be called
strict disciplinarian, but he kept his
commands in good military trim. His
men marched well and fought WE'LL and
were no doubt all the better soldiers for
their hearty liking for their chief.
Burnside was tall, well-made, sol
dierly man, not as stout in those days
as in recent years, and had fine state
ly presence, wether on foot or on horse
back. The top of his head was quite
bald; he wore a mustache and heavy
side whiskers. During the war, and for
time afterward, both in the army
and in civil life, his style OF beard was
universally called Burnside whiskers,
and this term has not yet wholly fallen
into disuse. For generation in En-
gland Wellington gave name to top
boots; SO in this country McClellan's
name attaches TO saddle, and Burn
sides to certain style of whiskers"

How She Got That Ring

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer writes that the handsomest
diamond ring said to be worn by any
one on the stage, sparkles on the little
white hand of rather magnificent but
very pretty performer, known as
q Stella" of the Soldene troupe. When
that highly refined and aesthetic combi-
nation played in Denver, some one in
troduced this particular star to Gov
ernor Tabor, who is generous patron
of music. During brief conversation
with her, the magnate was summoned
on business by q messenger. As he
withdrew he, it is presumed uncon-
sciously, remarked that he would finish
his cali some other time.
cob, no you WON'T" said the ianntv
performer; ''you will get SO absorbed in
these big mines and political things
that you'll forget all about poor little
me-"
This direct slur ON gubernatorial gal
lantry was equal to challenge. At
any rate the governor pledged himself
to return.
"Ah, Idon't believe any of You wick
ed western men without some other
guarantee than your word" said the
clever Miss Stella; adding, "Leave me
something valuable enough to insure
your return"
Now the governor of Colorado has
many bags of gold, but he does not car
ny them in his pockets, and the only
ornament of cost he wore was mag
nificent diamond. the one huge soil
taire, valued at $4,000, shining out
like and electric light.
The impulsive millionaire threw his
jewel into her lap and made his exit.
Then the smart Stellss, without loss oil
time, packed ner little portmanteau,
and skipped on train bound for Chi
cago. When the governor called to re-
deem his pledge the news of her de
parture was broken to him by colored
waiter.

Carrier-PigeOns and Their Csc.
New York Tribune
NVW 7 UTh IfIUUIIt.

One hundred birds of the Hudson
County Homing Pigeon Club were sent
to Philadelphia on last Monday to be
loosed on Wednesday morning. The
birds are'owned in Brooklyn, Jersey,City
Orange and Newark. At the fly of this
club last year the pigeons were over
taken by storm and 200 of them lost.
Not much better luck attended the
club this year, only about half of the
birds coming back. 1t is supposed that
they were killed by sportsmen along
the route.
On Sunday fifty birds of the Newark
club will be loosed from Wilmington,
Del. The Brooklyn club will have q
race on Sunday from Cresson, Pa.
always Ready" bird belonging to
the Newark club, was loosed from
Plainfeld, Ind, last Thursday. The
distance is $50 miles, the longest flight
ever attempted in this country. The
bird reached home yesterday morning,
beating the best record by two weeks
and flying twenty miles further. The
weather has been very bad along the
course of the birds fly, and there have
been only two really good days. The
best record previous to this is that of q
bird who made the distance from In
dianapolis to Jersey City-630 miles
in twenty-one days.
A number of homing pigeons were
recently purchased in this city for ship
ment 10 New Foundland, where they
are used extensively by the fishermen
of the coast. On going out at night
each company of fishermen takes
aboard its "snack" several homing
pigeons. When they reach the fishing
grounds in the morning bird bears to
the little port from which it comes the
news of the night and the prospects for
the day. Later on, when the vessel is
ready to return, a bird is sent with an
account of the catch, and those at the
fishing hamlet know just what prepare
tions to make for taking care of the
fish which will be brought in A pig
con telegraph service has been estab-
lished on the Saugeen peninsula, in the
western part of Ontario. Canada. The
only telegraph office in the vicinity is
at Wharton, but all over the surround
ing country are pigeon stations from
which birds can be dispatched to the
telegraph with messages which are then
forwarded by wire. A physician in
Hamilton county, having practice ex-
tending over large territory. employs
homing pigeons extensively. He takes
a basket in his carriage when he starts
out in the morning, in which are sew
eral birds, and liberates them when it
is necessary to communicate with his
office. He also leaves pipeOns among
his more distant patients, SO that upon
occasion arising he can be at once sum-
moned.

Where Three states Meet

There is a stone near Pownal, VT.

happened to the Vermont officer. Then
those Constables connived to meet and
seize him together. While they were
pulling out their warrants and hand
cuffs the New Yorker broke away from
them and got over into the State oil
New York, where he was beyond the
jurisdiction of both. Then the majesty
of the law in three States were aroused

are letting their cows 60 entirely dry.
This is q bad policy. and especially so
with heifers in their first yeaf tits
tie period to establish their character
and future usefulness. Let cow 90
dry early one year and it is difficult to
prevent her from doing so at the same
period every year after. But if a
heifer in her first year Of milk is suffer
ed to go dry early after few months
of milking she is about ruined. If
any of our readt s have heifers which
are not giving over one pint Of milk,
better hold on to them, and although
ii may be considerable trouble, keep
milking until within six weeks or two
months of their coming in again.
Their future usefulness depends upon
establishing their habits right the first
year. Milk is to be the great source
of revenue to the farmers of this coun-
try, but poor COWS, or COWS ruined by
bad management, will keep their
owners poor. And it is better to use
dear food, which viii not be returned
in profits just now, to keep the cows In
good condition, and perpetuate a flow
of milk until the usual or proper peri
cd for drying them up.
If food for COWS is dear, so is butter.
The price Of butter is weekly advanc-
ing, and it is probable the demand for
good butter the approaching winter
viii justify liberal feeding and good
care of COWS. But if it does not, the
future income demands sacrifice in
liberal feeding this fall and winter.
f-i IF
induce any farmer or dairyman to al
low the heifers to go dry and thereby
contract bad habit which will never
be entirely overcome in the lifetime OF
the animal. Bad habits in animals as
well as in the human race, are hard to
overcome, and heifers as well as chill
dren, should be trained up in the way
they should go.--IoUa Register.

Fanny Fern gives this advice to a
correspondent of the Prairie Farmer,
who wants to know the best varieties
for market purposes al raise good
many chickens for the early spring
market, and of all the breeds and
crosses that / have tried for that pur-
pose, | unhesitalingly pronounce the
Plymouth Rock the best. can get
them to average seven pounds a pair at
three months, live weight, and that is
good enough. / find a ready market,
and at the highest price too, for all
the chic ks of that age and weight that
can raise. If you intend to make a
business of raising chickens for the
spring market, / should advise you to
let Cochins alone, and use only pure
bred Plymouth Rock cocks, but if you
want to raise fowls for fall and winter
market, cross with the Brahmas or
Cochins." Fowls kept in confined
space should have soft food at least once
a day, say first feed in the morning,
and plenty of green food, lettuce dur
ing the season is excellent, also cabbage;
the heads should be thrown whole to
to the fowls, not chopped; it will afford
employment. Meat should also be
supplied, else they may eat each
others feathers. 1t is capital plan to
run skewer through bullock's liver
and pin it to the ground in the centre
of the yard; it enables the birds to pick
off the meat in mouthfuls, without its
being drawn all over the yard.
