StOnewall Jackson's Flank Attack at
Charlottesville.

From General o. o. Towards article
in the Century, we quote as follows:
Somebody's guns Numbered away for
few, short minutes, and then came the
titful rattle of musketry; and before ]
could again get into the saddle there
arose the ceaseless roar of the terrible
storm.
II sent out my chief of staff, Colonel
Asmussen. who was the first officer to
mount-'The firing is in front of Devens,
go and see if all is in order on the extreme
right He instantly TUNED and galloped
away. mounted and set off for promi-
nent place in rear of Schurz's line, so as
to change front to the northwest of
every brigade southeast of the point of
attack, if the attack extended beyond
Deven's right flank; for it was OWNED
at once that the enemy was now west of
him. 1 could see numbers of our men
not the few stragglers that always fly
like the chaf at the first breeze, but
scores OF them-rushing ihd5 the open
ing, some with arms and some without,
running or falling before they got behind
the cover of Deven's reserves, and before
General Schurz'swaiting masses could de-
ploy or charge. The noise and the smoke
Tiled the air with excitement, and to add
to it Dieckmann's guns and caissons,
with battery men scattered, rolled and
tumbled like runaway wagons and carts
in a thronged city. The guns and the
masses of the right brigade struck the
second line of Devens before McLean's
front had given way, and. quicker than
it could be told, with all the fury of the
widest hail-storm, everything, every sort
Of organization that lay in the path of
the mad current of panic-stricken men,
had to give way and be broken into frag-
ments.
''My own horse seemed to catch the
fury; he sprang, he rose high on his hind
legs and fell over, throwing me to the
ground. My aide-dc-camp, Dessauer,
was struck by shot and killed, and for
a few moments was as helpless as any
of the men who were speeding without
arms to the rear. But faithful orderlies
helped me to remount.
81 rode quickly to the reserve batteries.
A staff officer of General Hooker, Lieu
tenant Colonel Dickinson, joined me
there; my own staff gathered around
me. was eager to fill the trenches
which Barlow would have held Busch
beck's second line was ordered TO change
front there. His men kept their ranks,
but at first they appeared slow. Will
they never get there?'
Dickinson said: 'Oh, General, see
those men coming from that hill way off
to the right, and there's the enemy after
them. Fire, oh, fire at them; you may
stop the fightp
"No, Colonel 1 said, 4 will never
fire on my own menu"

Medical Advance.

Each year sees substantial advance in
medical science. The last year is no ex-
ception to this. We give some few
points in illustration:
The study of bacteriology-thec casual
relation of microscopic plants to infec-
tious diseases-has been pursued the
world over with increasing interest and
conviction of its fundamental truth. In
vestigators, however, are not yet agreed
that Professor Koch's comma bacillus"
so called from its resemblance to the
commas the cause of cholera, though
the view is ably defended by others than
the professor.
That the microbe or germ, to which
tubercular consumption is due, has been
discovered, has been rendered strongly
probable by recent investigations.
To 1885 belongs Pasteur's supposed
discovery of protective vaccine against
hydrophobia. Should the present year
confirm it, it may take its place among
the most valuable of the age.
Dyspeptics have long known that fat,
as food, was special trouble to them.
1t has now been proved that, even in
healthy stomachs, it delays digestion.
By rendering digestion greatly slower,
where it is already slow and weak, the
food necessarily ferments and various
hurtful acids are developed.
Nitro-glycerine has been largely recog-
nized as valuable remedy in that ter
rible disease, angina pectoris, and in
other spasmodic affections. The discov-
erer wa. awarded prize by the French
Academy of Medicine
The clinical experience of the year
seems to have confirmed osmic acid in its
high place as remedy for neuralgia, and
menthol also as an efficient remedy in
many hard forms of this latter disease.
Important advance has been made
in rendering foods easier of digestion
in fact, in largely predigesting them.
The lung cavities have been success
fully opened, and experts now stand
ready to perform the operation in cases
of simple pulmonary Assesses. The ex-
ploration, drainage and extirpation of one
of the kidneys are now among hopeful
operations. Considerable portions Of the
intestines have been removed. and the cut
ends brought together; and tn patients
have made a good recovery. The alb
domen has been successfully opened in a
case of acute peritonitis inflammation of

the grins of the spectators presented u

pretty cheap, and after feeling the heft

sulting from the gas blower plying his vo-
cation. An attachment to the gas burner
operates in such manner that when the
blower goes to blowing he may blow the
gas out, but at the same time the
blowing turns the cock and shut off the
gas This machine may thus save the life
of the blower, certainly a commend

yet it hardly completes its mission. The
