and the young lady and her swain sat
down. The young lady drank very lit.

Young War Heroes.

At the first battle of Bull Run John
Meigs, son of General Meigs, and a
West Point cadet, seeing no generals
about, assumed and for some time di.
rected the movement of the troops, the
officers supposing he was an abide.

the generals. Seeing the enemy mass.
ing in tho wood to take Green's Battery,
:Meigs ordered Colonel Mathewson to
move quickly with his regiment to the
support of the battery. The movement
was promptly executed by the First
California, and then two other regi-
ments were brought up, think the
Thirty-irst and Thirty-second New
York. Later in the day the youthful
General, seeing the field was lost, said
to Colonel Mathewson; ''You had
better fall back toward Centreville. I"
F.: "And by whose authority do you
give me such an order as that" inquired
;the colonel.
F. "Well, sir" said young Meigs, 'sthe
truth is for the last two hours I have
been unable to find any generals, and
have been commanding myself"
!! I saw Meigs on the battle field, and
he was woudded through the knee, but
pemained on duty, although in irritable
pain and faint from the loss of blood.
He was afterward killed by rebels in
the Shenandoah Valley.
In the first Iowa there was little
mite of drummer boy named Edward
or, as he was more commonly called,
Eddie Lee. At Wilson's Greek he had
both feet shot off by a cannon ball. A
wounded rebel, who was shot through
the bowels and lay near Eddie, had
taken off his suspenders, and max
ing of them igatures, tied up Eddie'e
stumps to stop the flow of blood. In the
night the rebel died and Eddie lay on the
field all night beside him. In the morn
ing, as soon as it was light, the First
Iowa were surprised to hear Eddie's
drum beating the reveille down in ra-
vine. One of the men, following the
sound of the drum, went to him and
found the little fellow seated on the
ground, vigorously beating away, his
drum fastened to bush by his side.
Good morning, corporal" he said;
:.soh, get me some water, lam 50 thirsty"
: The corporal got the water, and while
be was giving the boy drink, theenemv
came up and captured them both. A
rebel horseman took Eddie up tenderly
before him. and carried him to the rebel
:camp, where his stunps were amputated
.and the wounds carefully dressed, but
:he died int few hours after the operation
was performed. Eddie Lees father had
been killed by rebels, and he was the
son of poor East Tennessee woman.

How a Blizzard Approaches.

A Dakota paper gives the following descrip-
ton Of the recent blizzard: "Until about 4:l5
the day was sunny, pleasant, and with temper
atllre as mild as spring. The streets were
filed with people-ladies promenading in the
enjoyment of the ethereal mildness.' Sudden
~ and without the slightest warning a solid
white wall of frost and snow appeared in the
northwest 1t seemed as if the bluffs in that
direction had suddenly shot upward. to a
height Of thousand feet, so sudden and COM
pact did this icy wall appear. In second Of
time the storm burst with appalling fury, and
the windows which had by mildness Of the at
mosphere become clear of frost, were heavily
coated with cling snow on the outside, and
heavily frosted particles on the inside The
air grew terribly cold, and was darkened by
flying frost and snow. The high wallis of the
hotel directly opposite were not to be seen. All
objects were hidden by the flying and rapidly
driven snow People on the streets sought
shelter and the stores we're temporarily used
for protection from the herceness of the howl
ing blast. Darker grew the atmosphere to
such an extent that business in the Office was
stopped until lights were procured"

TEXT OF B1sMARCK's COMMUNICATION
The action of Bismarck in returning the res

reichstag propose to demand Bismarck's ex-
planation Of his course The official Gazette
publishes tho communication of Bismarck to
Non Eisendecker directing the return to the
American house of Representatives of it's reso-
luton. Following is the text:

cago, who is now 80 years old, drank in
cessantly, his giant frame and iron mus
cles enabling him to withstand numer-
GUS quantities of intoxicants. He esti-
mates that he drank on an average
about 80 drinks of whiskey per day,
which, according to his estimate of the
potion swallowed each time, must have
amounted to about 1000 barrels. For
many years Mr.. Joyce has been sober,
and even abstemious, his dissipation
having occurred at the other end of his
long life. He says he drank the best
.whiskey he could find, but thinks his
preservation is due rather to his excel
