Stonewall jackson at Harper's Ferry.

From General John D. Imboden's
reminiscent and anecdotal paper on
''Stonewall Jackson in the Shenandoah, :"
in the Century, we quote the following:
"By our occupation of Harper's Ferry
we had not interfered with the running
of trains except on the occasion of the
arrest of General Harvey. The coal
traffic from Cumberland was immense,
as the Washington government was ac-
cumulating supplies of coal on the sea-
board. These coal trains passed Har-
per's Ferry at all hours of the day and
night, and thus furnished Jackson pre-
text for arranging a brilliant scoop
When he sent me to Point of Rocks, he
ordered Colonel Harper with the Fifth
Virginia infantry to Martinsburg. He
then complained to President Garrett, of
the Baltimore and Ohio, that the night
trains, eastward bound, disturbed the
repose of his camp, and requested a
change of schedule that would pass all
east bound trains by Harpers Ferry be-
tween 1 and o'clock in the daytime.
Mr. Garrett complied, and thereafter for
several days we heard the constant roar
of passing trains for an hour before
and an hour after noon. But since
the 'empties were sent up the
road at night, Jackson again complained
that the nuisance was as great ever, and
as the road had two tracks, he must in
sist that west bound trains should pass
Harper's Ferry during the same two
hours as those cast bound. Mr.. Garrett
promptly complied, and we had then, for
two hours every day, the liveliest rail
road in America AS soon as the schedule
was working at its best, Jackson sent me
an order one night to take force of men
across to the Maryland side of the river
next day at II o'clock, and let all west
bound trains pass till IL o'clock. but per-
NIT none to go east, and at IL o'clock to
obstruct the road so that it would re-
quire several days to repairA4t. He or.
dered the reverse to be done at Martins
burg. Thus he caught all the trains that
were going east or west between those
points, and ran them up to Winchester,
thirty-two miles on the branch road,
where they were safe, and whence they
were removed by horsepower to Stras
burg and Staunton. do not remember
the number of trains captured, but the
loss crippled the Baltimore and Ohio
road seriously for some time, and thu
gain to our scantily stocked Virginii
roads of the same gauge was invaluable

Prophet Joe Cook.

Correspondence New York Graphic.
That apostle of absolute knowledge, Mr.. Jo-
seph Cook, opened his perennial fountain of wis
dom yesterday to a fremont Temple audience,
which had the unpleasing popularity of being
quite small on the floor, where seats were to be
bought with a price. and far more numerous in
the galleries, where seats were had for the asking.
Mr.. Cook is given to furnishing various forms of
amusement, but the latest is his assumption of
monopolizing knowledge on the Mormon prob
lem. As tbs Graphic has before stated, Miss
Kate Field has for some two months been giving
her strong and graphic lecture on Mormonism in
Boston and through New England lecture
which embodies the results of many months of
close study Of the Mormon problem in Salt Lake
City. Mr.. Cook sojourned there a few days,
and now he alludes to Miss Field as "a distin-
guished lady who has prepared the ground at
tributing to her the part of the voice crying in
the wilderness to prepare the way for the true
prophet, Joseph Cook! The effect is irresistibly
ludicrous when one contrasts Miss Fields earn
est and logical presentation Of the matter with
what Mr.. Cook does not know about it. Miss
Field, by the way, goes to Washington this
week as the guest Of Secretary and Mrs. McCul-
loch. and it is possible she may set something
afoot at headquarters in regard to this national
problem.

OF course England must crush the Mahdi.
The Egyptian problem has passed beyond the
mere qualification of the Soudan or the res
cue of Gordon. The problem confronting
England is the integrity of her Eastern domi-
nation. If the Mahdi is able to successfully
defy England there is no safety for the British
Gag anywhere, and there must come a speedy
end to the drum-beat heard around the
world. The pride of England is aroused. She
is on her mettle. There is but one thing to do,
and that will be done, cost what it may.
There is no counting the cost nor estimating
the permanent value of what may result from
the present overthrow of the Prophet. All
that the British government cares for now is
to crush the Mahdi. and then she will sit down
afterwards and see v hat can be made out of
the "victory."

Bound to Make a Martyr of Him-What He
Has to Say of His Recent sermons.
New York Special.
The Rev. r. Heber Newton closed his sermon
this morning with an explanation of what he had
sought to accomplish by his recent sermons,
and some light reference to his critics.
II close to-day he said, 'the first part of the
present course of sermons. With next Sunday,
l propose leading you into a consideration of the
invulnerability of the fundamental faiths of re-
ligion under the attacks of modern unbelief. In
the sermons already given l have been 80 need
lessly and cruelty misunderstood that. knowing
how the reproach of your pastor falls on you,
nv most loyal friends, / beg you to bear
with me a moment longer. while l sum up in a
few words the position taken in these discourses.
l have attacked no single article of our creed,
either in the letter or the spirit of my words; |
have attacked no one of our thirty nine articles;
| have not attacked any doctrine put forth by
our church or any of her formularies; 1 have
spoken in strong words of several of the doc
trines of Christianity as they appear in the pop
ular theology and in some Of the confessions of
faith of other churches, but | never knew
that these forms were binding upon
us in this church. Even such denunciations
have not formed the depth of my SER
mons. My aims have not been to prove
them wrong. but simply to show, as thus shaped
by the Calvinistie churches and by the popular
theology, they give too much occasion for the
irreverent wit of s~coffers and the audacious on
slaughts of men who have thrown off all faith.
Our wisdom, therefore,, as L nave uaugnt In TINS
trying age, when change follows change in our
mental outlook, is to live patiently under the
old forms, even when not satisfactory, rejecting
the follies and wrongs of the populor theology,
but holding by the doctrines of which they are
distorted images"
Speaking with much emotion, Mr.. Newton
said in conclusions:
whether this be heresy, judge ye. For the
unguarded words which have given offense to
any devout soul. may God forgive me; and for
the unjust reproaches of my brethren upon one
who was, however faulty, trying to keep his fell
ows in a living faith, may God forgive them"
-REPARATIo FOR THE TRIAL.
The new presenters of the Rev. r. Heber New
ton for heresy are said to be confident that As
sistant Bishop Potter will consent this time to a
heresy trial. Counsel for the presenters said to-
day: ''The presentment papers will be sub
mitted to the bishop next week. The bishop
will cause a copy to be served on the accused.
The bishop will then nominate twelve presbyters
of the diocese entitled to seats In the convention.
who must not be parties to the presentment.
He will also cause a list of these TO be served on
the accused, who will, within thirty days after
such service, select FIVE of them and notify their
names in writing to the bishop. The presbyters
so selected constitute the court for the trial of
the accused"

THE demand for ahigh-license law will con-
tinue to increase until it is answered. The time
has gone by when the liquor traffic can defy
law, and evade just and proper taxation.
Real estate and reputable personal property,
which have so long borne the burden of all
~axation, will not much longer consent TO the
practical immunity of the saloons. Real es-
tate has no political power, neither has per-
sonal property as it is usually listed for taxa
ton. But for the supposed political power in
the liquor traffic there would have been high
license years ago. The time for it has now
come. There is no demand upon any man for a
change Of belief or a surrender of principle in
agreeing to high license, and it is as plain as
sEe nose on a mans face that nothing else will
be tried until after high license has been put
to a fair test. Why can there not be a union

Caught n Pike.
Washington Special.

Senators Palmer of Michigan, Pike of New
of Colorado sit in the four seats which form the
extreme outer row on the Republican side of the
Senate. 1t is elevated above the other rows.
They call it Pixies Peak, in honor of the New
Hampshire Senator. They formed a league
among themselves at the beginning of the SEES
sion, agreeing to vote solidly on every question
that comes no. There was just one exception.
That was the woman's rights question. Senators
Palmer, Henderson and Brown favored woman's
suffrage, but Pike declared that he was unalter-
ably opposed to it, and hence on that question
must vote against his allies. But when the
other members of the Pixies Peak league gath
cred around Palmer after his speech advocating
the woman's suffrage cause, to-day. Dir. Pike
came too. and was the first to congratulate Mr..
Palmer, with the remark: Il changed my mind
