her friend was in dread of. If she had
seen the substitution, what would she
have said? Would she not have taken.
her for q theft
Nine. Loisel became acquainted with
the horrible life of the INDECENT. She
became resigned of a sudden, heroical-
ly. 1t was necessary tozpay this fright
full debt. She would pay. They dis
missed their servant; they changed their
lodgings; they took a mansard under
the roof.
Every month it was necessary to pay
notes, to renew others and obtain time.
The husband worked in the evening
in making up the accounts of mer-
chant, and at night he often did copying
at five sous page.
And this life went on for ten years.
At the end of ten years they had paid
back everything-eyerything at an usur-
iot.s rate, and at compound interest.
Mime. Loisel now appeared to be an
old woman, She had become strong,
hard, rough, and wretched house
keeper; shabby looking, with skirts
askew, and red hands. She spoke in a
loud voice and scrubbed the floors. But
at times, when her husband was at the
office, she took her seat near the win
dow, and thought of that evening long
ago, at that ball, when she was so hand
some and so feted.
What would have happened if she had
not lost that necklace? Who knows?
Who can tell? How odd life is, how
changeable! What. a little thing will
ruin you or save you! 49,
Now one Sunday, us she was taking
walk in the Champs Elysees to rest her
self from her weeks work, she sudden
ly saw woman walking with child.
1t was Nine. Forester, still young, still
beautiful, still attractive.
Nine. Loisel was moved. Should she
60 and speak to her? Yes, surely; and
now that she had paid, she could tell
her everything. Why not?
She went up to her.
"Good morning, jeanne
The other did not. recognize her, be-
ing astonished at being addressed 50
Familiarity by this poor woman. She
stammered:
"But-madame!-I don't know-you
must be mistaken
mo. am Mathilde Loisel.''
Her friend uttered an exclamation:
ed you are!''
Eyes, have had many a hard day
since | saw you; and many miseries-.
and all on your account
''On mine-how sop
do you remember that set of dia-
monds that you lent me to 60 to the fete
at the minister's?'
Eyes, well?'' =.
"How! Why you brought it back to
me''
~ brought you back another just like
it. And for ten years we have been pay
ing for it. You can understand that it
was not easy for US, as we had nothing.
At last it is done, and I am very, very
glad.'
Nine. Forester stopped.
''You say you bought set of dia-
monds to replace mine?''
Eyes. You did not notice it, eh?
They were very like
Nine. Forester, much moved, took
her hands in hers.
'Oh! my poer Mathilde! But mine
were false. 1t was worth at the most
500 francs.''

Cedar Nounfafu

To THE EDITOR: III. A. Trip, in his sketch
on Cedar Mountain, quotes Porte Crayon, in
Harper's MGgaziBe for August 1867, as TO what
regiments were in the First Brigade, Second
Division of Banks's Corps. I desire TO correct
either Porte CrayOn or II. A. Trip, whichever
is not correct. by stating that the brigade men
toned by Porte CrayOn as marching through
the streets of Culpeper on Aug. 9, 1862, with
flying colOrs and bands playing. was the First
Brigade, Second Division. instead of First Di-
vision. Instead Of Crawford commanding it,
John W. Geary was the General in command
of that brigade. The regiments, 18th Pa, 9Th
Conn, 10th Nc, 2Sth N. Y, as given by Porte
Crayon, are correct, excepting the 2Sth n. Y
when it was the 2Sth Pa.
Knapp's battery Of 10-pOund PARROTS was
partly recruited from the 2Sth Pa. by transfer
Of certain number Of men from each company
of the regiment. The 2Sth boys always felt a
special interest in the battery, as it was always
with it in every engagement, both in Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia. Our noble Gen. John
w. Geary received a severe wound at Cedar
Mountain.
Although nearly quarter Of q century has
elapsed since that battle, / yet distinctly re-
member the main incidents of that campaign :;
and as far rs my knowledge extends regarding
Cedar Mountain, / believe Comrade H. A.
Trip to be in the main correct, but would be
pleased to see some Of the 18th Pa. boys or
Knapp's battery, give their views on the sub
ject.-LEwIs BLUNDIN, Co. G, 2Sth Pa, Hulme-

HATCHER'S RUN.
A "a Pa. Cav. Nan Has His say.

To THE EDITOR: VIII you permit member
OF the I'd Pa. Cav. TO give a short account OF its
operations at Hatcher's Run2 On the 9th of
October, 1864, about o'clock in the morning,
boots and saddles" sounded. In short time
we were mounted. 1t was dark as pitch. We
got the command Forward" and we moved
out, not knowing our destination till we ar
rived at Hatcher's Run, about IL o'clock, and
on our march the % Pa Cav came on the
enemy. We dismounted, charged into the
woods, and drove them. They left our front,
and wo remounted anf took up the march for
Hatcher's Run. The infantry had driven the
enemy for some distance on our right and across
the SOuthside Railroad, when they came to
halt, there being fort on the left and behind
them woods, which stopped their further adj
vance. The I'd and 4th Pa. Cav. formed on the
left of the road, the infantry on our right, and
the batteries just in the rear Of the infantry.
One OF the infantry guns had been run out
pretty close TO the railroad. 1t got too close to
the enemy's fort, and they had to leave il
between the two lines. Our men tried TO get
it twice, but failed. and the enemy tried in vain
TO take it 1t was there till late and never
knew which party got il. The enemy had
gun on truck on the road, which threw a
pretty large shell, much TO our annoyance.
The fort on our left and front and on the other
side OF strip Of woods kept throwing solid
shot right through the woods. One of them
struck Capt. Eckert's Orderly aud killed him
instantly, and two horses, and passed on 10 and
through the 6th Pa, doing no further damage
The enemy then made grand assault OH three
sides of US. They had run guns ON our left
and rear, and the air was full of death dealing
missiles for about 30 minutes. This pandemo-
mum ceased only when darkness put stop TO
1t. On the right of our line the infantry gave
way, aud the enemy came very near surround
ing US. When the battle ceased they withdrew,
which left way out for us. On going back
through the woOds-it being very dark-my
horse got fast among some roots, and a comrade
stopped to help me out. When / got my horse
loose the column was gone, and we could not
tell which way 10 go. It commenced to rain,
so we came to the conclusion to stop there for
the night. We settled down by the roots. of
tree, put our shelter tents and gum blankets
over us, and slept till daylight When awoke
my tent and blanket was gone. | commenced
70 search, and found the thief rolled up in my
blanket. he proved to be a friend. A few
rods further away there was a company Of in
fantry sound asleep. They belonged to the

tain in command. They had got lost in the
darkness, and did not know which way TO 90.

wIIder,s Brlgaae at Chiekamsuga.

To THE EDITOR: In regard 10 an article in
your valuable paper Of March Is, 1886, written
by Maj. Geo. b. Jenness, Quenemo, Kan, re-
specting Gen. A. Med. MeCook, will say that,
as far as know and believe, the Major is cor
rect until he comes to Chickamauga, where he
is certainly mistaken when no states that
"while Gen. Sheridan calls his division to
arms TO fill the gap left by the divisions of
Davis and Johnson, the writer is ordered to
gallop TO Gen. Wilder with orders to fling his
brigade of mounted infantry into this gap or
open part OF the line. Wilder Obeys promptly,
but before his men are fairly formed two lines
Of gray bear down on him in overwhelming
numbers, and in the deadly whirlwind of shot
and shell his men are swept away like chat,
the enemy breaking through our lines an i'm
passable wedge between Sheridan and the main
army"
Wilders Brigade was composed of the 18th
and I'D Ind. and the 95th and 123d H. The
writer was a member Of Co. X. 18th Ind, and
was present at the battle of Chickamauga, and
wishes 10 say that Maj. Jenness is mistaken
when he says that before Wilders men had
time TO form they were swept away like chaR
On the contrary, the whirlWind of shot and
shell spoken of went far above the heads Of all
the men, except one discharge Of grape, which
went through Cos. X and G. of the 18th Ind,
and one of the grape struck the rear man Of
Co. G in the calf of his leg and lodged in his
boot, tanning him considerably. One of his
comrades assisted him in pulling off his boot
and found that there was nothing the matter !;
then he sprang 70 his feet as lively as ever.
We lost none until Sheridan's Division moved
forward and was repulsed, when we were again
called upon to check the advance Of the pur-
suing foe, which we did in fine style, driving
them back clear out Of sight, and we saw no
more Of them.-JAsIEs FISHER, Second Lieu
tenant Go. X, 18th Ind, Il Dorado, Kan.
