THE FIRST TO ENTER.
a story OF the Late War as Told by Judge
TOUTEcc.

TOETSccs
\ writer in the New York Times of
the 14th of October says:
"There was detachment of the Har-
ris Light Cavalry with Colonel UIrich
DahIgren's famous five hundred that
WAS made up from Ill fereut regiments.
| He led them Inside the city limits of
/ Richmond C that dark and terrible
night, March /, 1861, and they were the
/ first Union troops that entered Rich
mond, anything to the contrary nOtwith-
| standing"
Anything to the contrary notwith-
/ standing, the writer IS, We think, mis-
| taken. At the time Of the battle of
| Charlottesville, and for some months
| before, it was the writer's i'll luck to be
an inhabitant Of Libby Prison. From
| its windows he witnessed the Widespread
decentralization that occurred. The
| troops who had guarded the prison were
relieved and their places supplied by an
unframed cripple brigade from the gov
| ernmcnt offices and about town gener-
ally.
They were prattling, tattling lot of

whom We have met since those days

some being nearly straight. The aver
age length was about two feet, the width
the Same number O. inches, and their
greatest thick. ess not more than half an
inch.
Standing in the center OF the long lot
they would grasp boomerang by the
end whiIl 1t over their heads and let it
go, when it would fly with great speed
III a straight line for about two hundred
feet, then curve upward for half that dis
lance and sail away in q directly con-
trary direction. until it was. perhaps,
two hundred feet behind the spot from
which 1t had originally been cast, curve
again to right or left, and finally strike
the ground almost at the throwcr's feet,
all the while spinning round so rapidly
as to look like a wheel. The men
seemed to take great delight in the
sport, and for half an hour, held the
wondering attention Of the invited guests
Of their manager and the horde OF small
boys who had scaled the fence and run
the blockade of the gates.
In the marvellous flights Of the boone
rang the most effective triumphs of the
curve pitcher are oUtdone a thousand
fold, and the reason for the contrary
curve which it takes has always been
a puzzler to men Of science. EhjiGdcL-

BABY ON THE CARS.
FLUSHING MAKES THE BABY CRY,
The Means Rcsorfed to to stop il and How
the Crying was Discontinued.

There was a baby on a car Of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad
the other afternoon.
It-a baby in long clothes is always
an twas loaded to the mUzZle with
cry. 1t was little thing not more than
two feet long, but it had more cry cooled
up in it than you would suppose could
be slowed away in baby as big as a
town constable. What would an auc-
tionCer give for that baby's capacity?
Well, the train ana the baby got a
good even start. and for several miles
| the passengers looked on with interest
IN the race. Almost anybody would bet
otI-hand that baby's steam would run
down before an engines, but if you knew
this particular baby you would disdain
! all illegal propositions and declare ycIIr-
self ''not n betting character which,
| by the way, IS a most righteous dcclara-
! tlon-WhCn yOU have 40 sure thing.
The poor young mother Of this portal
| bic noise factory was crimson with en-
| barrassment, for of course every pasSen-
! ger looked at her and seemed to her tc
say: 'Why don't you shut up that
squailinG brat?"
Presently a man with a long flowing
| beard came up the aisle, chucked the
baby under the chin, made Il horrid
| grimace, and simpered, 'Da, ia, da
! tootle tie tooty"
The baby was crying rs IOud rs il
could, but this made it cry louder.
Then woman reached over from tho
next scat and whispered something il
the mothers ear. OF course, nobody
heard what she said, and the mother
only sat the little one on her hand anC
shook her head.
\ man across the way said perhaps
there was n pin sticking into it; and
tue baby was tipped and turned anj

ploded this theory.

DE John P. Newman in It Sunday ser

Care Of Animals.

Prof. Brown, of the Ontario AgricuI-
tUral College, gives the following sound
advice IN regard to the care OF animals,
in an excellent essay printed in the
CountTY GcnHcman. He says:

to extreme cold, and [ feel assured that
the cause of the somewhat prevalent
animal consumption, or tuberculosis IS

THE MOTHERS HOME LIFE.
Her Duties and Her Rights as Outlined by
Kew. Dr. Pullman.

The Rev. DR.. James NJ. Pullman, of
New York city, preached Il sermon in
the Church OF our Saviour on ''Thc
Mothers Part in the Home Life" What.
he asked, are WOmans duties as wife
aud mother, and in society? As q wife
she should, first OF all, have affection.
From mercenary matches no good could
come. Marriages OF convenience were
destructive of home life. Her husband
should he the first III whom the wife
should coutide. Only after the wife has
been repuIsed by her husband should
she cOntide IN any one else. Chastity
was also necessary tor Il wife to possess.
The married flint was an abomination.
Neracity was another requisite. I'm
truthfuIness was often fine wedge which
gradually destroyed the home life.
There was fourth requisite, obedi-
ence. Where conscience and GIial duty
were in question the wife should ac-
knowledge no power but her own. These
two things aside, no was to give in to
the other, man or wife? Well, the best
hearted and wisest would do so. In
matters concerning thc home or training
Of children the wife was best skilled.
In other things the husband was given
the superiority, or perhaps it would be
better to say the priority. 70 keep up
her power woman should not, after mar
riage, lose all taste in dress or abandon
the practice of her many little accom-
plshments. which before marriage at
tracted the attention aud pleased the
fancy Of her husband. Moreover she
should practice fraulncss; not the frank
ness Of some women, who say right out
everything that is in their head and
more beside, but the franku,ss which
leads the wife when her husband has
done something to wound her to 90 To
him and in a kind, gentle way tell him
of It, Better tint than TO let tha injury
rankle in her breast and grow by nurs-
ing TO such proportions rs to be beyond
all righting.
One Of the most beautiful sights was
that Of youuG man, vino, II, he grew
stronger and SiOEtcT. became more and
more the protector of his mother There
was a tcudcucy among American mothers
to limit the number Of their offspring,
and to turn them over to the care of ser
wants or hirengs. This bad the effect
of making the husband more selfish. On
woman i'll the social part Of her home
life, the preacher said, there was not
time to dwell ut any length. lie would
only say that she should throw open The
doors OF her home and invite her friends
to share with her the beauties and de
lights Of her life.

and he asserts as the sum total of the

fly that the Democracy will surely

says, THAT we have got too large
majority in the next Congress. Too
many men want to lead. Presiden-
tial aspfrants among us may be our
downfall. IF prudent we can hold
the sentiment of the country now in
our favor, make clean record and
win the Presidency. 1t is fortunate
for us that the Republicans passed

Death of P. M. General Howe.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 25.-
The news of the death of Postmaster
General Howe was received here this
evening by private dispatch to his
son in this city. After it became
we'll known it created somewhat of a
sensation, as it is the first break in
the Cabinet the President formed for
himself.
Up to the time of Mr.. Howe's de-
parture from this city for the West
he did not complain of ill-health.
He took the trip for change of scene
and pleasure. The uppermost ques-
ton is who will succeed to his Office.
Filley is talked of, so is Emory
Storrs, of Chicago, and the promo.
tion of Frank Hatton to the Cabinet
is predicted. 1t is also predicted that
William E. Chandler will be trans
ferred from the Navy Department to
the Postoffice Department., and that
a new Secretary of the Navy will be
appointed. All speculations as to the
new Postmaster General are prema-
mature, for the President will not
consider the question of successor
until after Mr.. Howe is in his grave.
1t may be weeks before the vacancy
will be filled. Postmaster General
Howe leaves wife and seven chill
dren. His eldest daughter is resi-
dent of this city, being married to
Col. Enoch Totten, prominent law
yer. Els son Frank is an attorney
in behalf of the United States before
one of the Claims Commissions.
