We find nothing more hazardous i'll
journalism than to copy the "recolections
of the war" which appear so profusely IN
the papers. 1t is astonishing how in TWEEN
ty years mems memories of events get
mixed, and how they assign to one event
circumstances which transpired at an en-
tirely different place, if at all, and at a
different period. Gen. John d. Imboden's
account in the Century for May, of Stone
wall Jackson being wounded in the hand
at the artillery duel in July, 1851. at Bull
Run, is good specimen of how mans
memory may go astray. Gen. Imboden s
battery bore conspicuous and credltable
part ia that action. A flying piece Ut
shell cut Gen. Jackson's hand. Gen. I'm
boden says:
ION hearing, three days after the fight,
that he was suffering with it, | rode TO his
quarters, in little farm house near Cen
treville Although it Was barely sunrlsa,
he Was out under the trees, bathing The
hand with spring water. Ii Was mucb
swollen and very painful, but be bore him
self socially. His wife and baby had ar
rived the night before His little daugh
ter Julia was still in long dresses, and
remember tossing her, to her great delight,
while breakfast was being made ready Oh
rude table under the trees. OF course the
battle was the only topic discussed al
breakfast. [ remarked Ill Mrs. Jacksou's
nearing, General, how is it that you Can
keep so cool and appear 50 utterly insen-
sible to danger iu such a storm of she'll
and bullets as rained about you when
your hand was hit?' He instantly became
grave and reverential in his manner, ano
answered in a low tone of great earnest
ness: Captain. my religious belief teach
es me to feel as safe in battle as in bed
God has fixed the time for my death. l
do not concern myself about that: but to
be always ready, no matter when it may
oyertake me- He added after a pause,
looking me full in the face: Captain,
that is the way all men should live, and
then all men woald be equally brave ("
Gen. Imboden's error is apparent from
he fact, that while the battle was fought
in July, 1861, Julia Jackson was not born
until November, 1852, and General Jack
SOD never saw her until about the middle
of April, 1858, when she was brought by
Mrs. Jackson to his headquarters, near
fredericksburg, to be chrlstened in bis
presence. In fact, General Jackson had
40 living child at the time of the first bat
Gle of Manassas, which was fought on the
2lst day of July 1861. The young lady
il question. Miss Julia, is to be married
On the 3rd of June next to Mr.. VIM. E.
Christian, grain merchant of Richmond,
son of Rev. w. FL. Christian of the
Methodist church.

it, is not likely to further provoke
the same people by obstructing the
orderly administration of their affairs.
A body filed with millionaire monopo-
lists who already STINK III the nostrils of
the American people, would think twice
before it attempted to play the part of
Obstructionists. In the case of Collector
Winder of Alabama, who was suspended
by the President, and i'll which the Presl-
Dental appointee sued for the salary Of
the position. the Supreme Court decided
that there was vacancy caused by the
suspension, and that the person appointed
by The President had right to the SALARY
until his successor was appointed. although
he was not confirmed by the Senate. The
Senate will hardly commence course OF
obstruction which the Court will defeat.

Rev. MIR. Lafferty to Lecture on the 12t]

Not long ago he was announced here
with his lecture on Luck and Pluck"
but it was postponed on account Of the
remarkable revival then progressing. But
this time Mr.. Laferty will certainly be
here. His lecture will be delivered at the
Y. M. G. A. rooms and under the auspices
of that body. Apart from the brilliant
wit of the lecturer which pervades it, the
lecture has great merit from its being the
result of much historicalresearch for illus
trations of the subiect-many occurrences
in oul revolutionary war, our war with
Mexico and our civil war, which are un-
familiar to the general reader. The pop
ular price of Is cents admission has been
decided on by the Comm ttee.

You were more than all beside
Does sweet memory returning,
Bring again those. happy days,
With the never ending yearning
For my lips to speak thy praise.

Do you long to hear my voice,
Breathing words So sweet and tender,
That would make your heart rejoice
By and by hope to greet thee,
AS did so long before;
Are you waising still to meet me,
AS you've done in days of yore
