4 Boys Pistol of Fifty Years AGO.

West Chester Penn. Record, Nov. Al
Week before last, Titus Darlington, car
penter, in tearing down portion of the
farmhouse of Taylor Hopes, of West Go.
shen township, Chester county, in order to
enlarge the building, came across a large
sized horse pistol that had been lost for
Fifty years. In 1882 Taylor Hopes and
his brother, Lewis, the latter now deceased,
purchased this pistol from gunsmith in
West Chester named Emanuel Goshen for
cheap enough, considering the size
and quality Of the weapon. BENJAMIN
Hopes, the father Of the boys, who were
about sixteen years of age, did not approve
of the lads having SO dangerous play
thing-Mr. Hopes was awise man-so the
they named theiE miniature cannon, as
much out, of parental eyesight az possible,
and they bid it away in the loft of the
house over the collsr beams betweesthe par
t5tion and wall. To have it convenient for
use, they made little wagon, in which
they placed ''Old Diamer," a powder horn
and small bag Of shot. To the wagon
they attached the string, and thus: they
lowered and pulled up the artillery wagon,
gun and ammunition wagon when they
wished to use them, or hurry them out of
sight of the ''old man." But one day tbs
rope broke-whether the old gentleman
was hunting the boys too close'' We can
not say-and down to the bottom of the
PARTITION went wagon, pistol and all, with
crash that sent sadness to the very bot
tom of the hearts of Taylor and Lewis.
After fishing for day in and day out with
pole and a hook, with the hope of catching
the wagon and drawing it up. they aban-
doned the task and gave up their treas
ure as lost. When the carpenters tore
down the building, Taylor Hopes, who is
now man on the shady side of life, stood
by, thinking of ''Old Diamer" Board az
ter board was taken down, and the little
ammunition wagon at last came in sight,
and in it lay ''Old Diamer," the powder
and shot, all in the same good condition,
with the exception of little rust on the
pistol, as the day they so suddenly went
from the sight of the boys half century
ago. Mr.. Hopes rubbed the pistol with
a little Oil, loaded it with the old powder,
and, in honor of the occasion, shoa it off
with report that made the Goshen hills
echo.

Il Sharp Letter from DR.. Hamilton on the
Garfield Doctor Billie.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Dr. Frank n.
Hamilton, of New York, in submitting to
the board of audit his bill amounting to
$4,000 for services rendered the late pres
ident, James A. Garfield, wrote
to Judge Lawrence as fol-
lows, under date of New York, Oct. IS:
II received your note of the 10th ult., call
ing nay attention to the fact that the beard
of audit is awaiting the presentation Of
nay claim against the estate Of the late
president. Z + = Awaiting myself Of
your suggestion that nay make TO The
board any further Communication nay
deem proper, I will cay that, in the prsssA-
tation of a claim which l. know cannot Be
paid out of the sun Of money (43s, 500
placed at your disposal by csagress, ny
intention is only to indicate 70 yes what
would regard as the minimum conpsnsa-
ton for similar services in the case OF a
private citizen, who was pecuaiarly re-
sponsible, and who would not be enbar-
assed by such payment. = = will fur
ther say that while do not make for my
self any relative claim, I must protest
against the presentation on the part d
one of the physicians in attendance of q
relative claim to the effect that he is snti
tied to receive double the fee of any oths1
physician in attendance, which claim Va,
laid before the house committee, and NAY
have been laid before your board"
The letter was accompanied by specific
statement of the nature Of the services
rendered, at the conclusion of which, DR.
Hamilton said: s'These circHmstantia
statements mako with great reluctance
bnt they seem to DO rendered necessary By
the fact that there are intimatiens to th.
contrary in the report of the house CON
mittee and obtained apparently froA
sources which tho committee considered
reliable. Moreover, congress hos cheesl

your board has therefore properly instruct

ever, engaged Longstreet's attention by
demonstrations nearly harmless to himself,
and SO successfully SIS to cause Longstreet
to take Wilcox's division from in front of
Pope. in order to strengthen the line con-
onting Porter. who at the time was aware
of this movementof forces coming from the
right to his front, and notifel Mcdowell
of it. Thus Porter, without sacrifice OF
men, and without endangering any inter-
ests, did more for Pope's relief than If be
had gone directly to that generals assist
ance. To have done so would probably
have sacrificed his corps without any bene-
fit, and jeoparded the safety OF Pope's
army. -
So far as have investigated the case
and have studded it, think, pretty thor
oughly-I see no fact to base the charge
of retreat upon. do not see that any ar
gument to prove this is necessary, because
any reader of history may be defied to find
where and when General Porter retreated
during the time specified.
In my judgement this disposes of the
charges, and consequently of all specitica-
tions under them, except the alleged dis
obedience of the 4:30 p. m. order.
In regard to the charge Of disobedience
Of the 4: 80 order, which is the principal
order and the one that has most deeply
impressed the mind of the general public
! there are evidences which look to me i'm
portant and conclusive, showing that the
court martial which tried General Porter
found him guilty under mistaken idea OF
the facts. now accessible to any one In
search of the truth, and which Porter
knew to be the facts at the time. As
maintained by the prosecution. to tho ap
parent satisfaction of the court, the situa.
tion Of the beligerent forces was in num-

ford, sent at $50 on the morning of tho
29th, stating that from seventeen to eigh-
teen regiments of the enemy had passed
through Gainesville three-quarters of an
hour before, or at quarter before nine
O'Clock, on their way to reinforce Jackson,
so that the head of the column must have
been not only in supporting distance of
Jackson, but at the place Of deploymelt
by 10 O'clock in the morning; and now it
is known, as it was known by Porter at the
time. that Longsreet, with some $4,000
mon, was in position confronting Porter
by IL o'clock on the 29th of August, four
hours and half before the 400 order was
written.
While at the head of their united forces,
between II and o'clock, and while Porter
was preparing to attack the enemy in his
immediate front, Mcdowell, then in COM
mand, showed Porter the ':joint ORDER and
also Buford's dispatch. It was evident
from this dispatch, corroborated by tho
enemy's movements in their immediate
front, that the main forces Of the enemy,
which the "joint order'' said were far dis
tant, had not only arrived but had formed
junction with Jackson and deploysd in
their front. Porter knew of this from an
other fact. he had prisoners from that
force troops. Tho object
Of moving towards Gainesville had been
thus defeated, and any furthes advance, if
practicable, would only the moro widely
separate them from Pope's forces, then
checked at Grovston, at least two miles
distant, and with which they were ordered
TO establish communication" Mcdowell,
as he had the right, at once withdrew his
troops, leaving Porter with 10000 men to
confront Longstrset's $4,000, while he
went by circuitous route to point be-
tween Porter and Pope to establish the
communication enjoined.
Thus left alone, facing superior num-
bers advantageously posted, and ignorant
of the needs of Pope, if indeed he had
any, Porter had necessarily to bide
McDowelrs arrival on his right. In the
mean time his duty was manifestly to en-
gage Longstreets attention and prevent
him from moving against Pope, especially
| while Mcdowell was out of support OF
! both Pope and Porter. Portes all that
day did not hear of Mcdowell, 81 OF wha

fairs with him, and presumed that his dis
patches were sent to the latter. He, how

When little Tom Macaulay was about
four years old, he was taken by his faith
er to call upon Lady Waldegrave, at
Strawberry Hill, and there an awkward
servant spilled some hot coffee over his
legs. The hostess was very sorry indeed,
aud after awhile asked him if he felt any
better.
Thank you, madam" said the small
gentleman, "the agony is abated."
Children need not use words so quaint
as those which were quite natural to
young Macaulay, but should try to have
equal pohteness.
A little boy named Lewis was passing
hurriedly through the dining-room yes
terday, when his Aunt Carrie spoke to
him. He did not hear precisely what she
said, so he stood in the doorway and said
What, ma am" Il beg pardon

But when he entered mammals chamber,
where she and sister Sue were having a
confidential chat, if he wished to interrupt
the talk for moment, the right thing to

Bessie came down to breakfast one
morning lately, and at once seated her
self, and began to drum on the table with
her spoon. Nothing could have been
ruder, and was surprised, for 1 had
thought Bessie a well-bred child. She
ought to have waited until the family
had assembled, and then she should not
have taken her place until mamma was
ready to sit down.
When Clara was visiting at the STAN
ley's she really tried to be very polite,
and she made ore mistake-one, indeed,
which older people often make Mrs
Stanley helped her bountifully to pud-
ding, and she passed it along to her next
neighbor. She ought to have retained it
herself as it was meant for and appor-

The BabY's Autograph.

They gave it to me at Christmas-the
pretty new autograph album-and l was
proud of it; the binding was so gay land
the white gilt-edge sheets so spotlessly
pure. 1 could hardly make up my mind
who should have the honor Of dedicating
that album, or what verse was grand en-
ough to be inscribed on its pages, and be-
fore l had quite decided baby found it /!
She had toddled into the parlor and taken
it down from the table before we missed
her, and was sitting cross-legged like
Turk, with the precious book in her lap.
That would not have been worth record
ing, and l should not value my album be-
yond price now if it were all. But she
had pencil-for she dearly loved to
scribble on bits of paper-and she had
made her mark on the front leaf (the
title page) of my beautiful book. She
had made dozen marks, criss-cross and
zigzag, and there she sat, her bright hair
tossed over her face, her little demure
mouth pursed up, her blue eyes full of
mischief, half shy, half defiant and we
three women looking at her.

mother " Doesn't she make picture
Whip her. said Aunt Harriet in a
vindictive tone. She has no children of
her own and knows just how to bring up
other peoples
1 was angry enough to do so, and had
made one step forward intending to wrest
the book out of the clasping baby hands,
and then-what beat my own child? l
was saved that degradation by my own
good mother, who shook her head at me
over Aunt Harriets shoulder.
How long is it since Christmas Count

1t is only couple of months, and to-day
l would give-oh what would 1 not give
to have those little hands doing their
sweet mischief? Peace, foolish heart !

is gone But when 1 look at the little,
short lines that dedicated my album
the sweetest, saddest lines to me that
were ever written-soon ended like her
little life-I am glad that I took her in
my arms, kissed the rosebud lips, and
put the book away without one reprov-
ing word-glad that I caused no angry
feelings in the baby heart, or left memo

That is why all the leaves of my new
album are blank-pure, spotless just as
the fair page of her little life was but
you who think these characters on the
dedicating page unmeaning, have never
had the key to them. Mothers can tell
what they are. Angels will be glad over
this record without blot or stain. There
is no handwriting so fine that I would
exchange it for the baby's autograph.

Our lives are albums written through
With good or i'll, with false or true,
And as the blessed angels turn
The pages of our years,
God grant they read the good with smiles
And blot the bad with tears
