Striking Switchmen.

Something of a collision occurred on the
26th between the Lake Shore striking
switchmen and the civil officers and rail-
road managers at Chicago. Several of
the railroad companies sent out engines to
take their cars from the Englewood yards
and were followed by strikers, who cap
tured locomotive, and with it undertook
to blockade the movement, stones, cinders
and pistols were freely employed, and the
plans of the railway people frustrated. At
4:3O another effort was made to move
freight trains but it was prevented. Dur
ing the day twenty-five of the strikers
were arrested and put in jail Superin-
tendent Wright, OF the Lake Shore, secured
.enIajnn ction to restrain the strikers from
interfering with the railroad property,
and notified the sheriff that he would be
held personally responsible 9 tor r.; any {S9t da%
said the company could not discharge the
eight non-union men who had been in their
employ.for ten years, and had done moth
ing to precipitate the unlawful movement
against them by the strikers.

OLD MAIDS WASHING.

Now and then one runs across line
of washing so unmistakeable that even
those uninitiated into the mysteries of
clothes.line ethics can tell its story.
The humblest observer knows with his:
eyes shut that the line Of clothes that
stretches across this column: belongs to
one of that delightfully."- careful class of
women known as old maids. The old
maid goes strongly for selothes-pins
which she carries hi~ her mouth as
calmly as another woman would carry
hairpins. Every pair of stockings Is
fastened down by two pins instead Of
the customary one, and those other
garments, which, like the limbs of tho
Queen of Spain, are politely supposed
not to exist, are anchored down in an
even stronger way. She never loses
anything by high wind. Far be it
from her to risk those near and dear
garments by insecure fastenings. Once
away she could never summon cour-
ago to ask for them, and SO a double
supply of clothes-pins calms her soul.
From this humble custom one learns
that clothes of feather flock together
on the same line, and double fasten-
ing, like virtue, is its own reward.

tired list of that grade, Porter to receive
no compensations whatever for time prior

War "Reminiscences,

Col. Henry Stone thus describes the
triumph of franklin: Another moment
and the enemy were leaping tho para
pet, the abandoned guns were in their
possession, and were turned against the
flying mob. Everything looked like ir-
retrievable disaster. 1t did not seem
possible to stay the doom Of utter de-
feat. At this moment Col. Emerson
Opdycke, young commander of in
spring presence and heroic bearing,
whohad commanded the rear guard
from Spring Hill with extraordinary
skill and courage, and who had brought
his brigade, unordered, into the works
as a reserve, proved equal to the oc-
casion. AS he saw the confused rush
to the rear he turned to give the neces-
sary orders. But he found his we'll
tried men had already anticipated him
and were fixing bayOnets. They only
needed the word "Forward!c Deploy-
ing in echolon, as they advanced, they
met the hitherto triumphant foe before
he had time to reform inside the con-
quered trenches, and when least able
to Withstand an unexpected attack with
the bay onet. The enemy fought like
madmen to hold what they had gained,
but in vain.
Now that nucleus was formed.
those who few minutes before had
shown such decentralization rallied and
took partin the fray. The veterans
at the right of the spot, abandoned by
raw recuits, chAnged front and
struck the enemy on the flank. Those
in the second line, on the left of the
Columbia Pike, rallied to the front.
and fought with all the ardor that is
possible to men. Gen. Stanley, who
early in the afternoon had gone with
Gen. Schofield to the fort on the other
side of the river, assoon as he saw the
| actionbegin, galloped 10 thespot, and
came up Just in time to receive q
severe. wound and to share in the tri.
umph. Gen. Cox, who had been left
in command of the lines, was every
where present, rallying and encour-
aging the men. These heroic efforts
soon brought success. In few min
utes those of the enemy who had
gained the works were. either dead oz
driven back or prisoners. From the
moment of Opdycke's coming up the
Union lines were held firm unshaken.
Thus the promp tand Thoughtful action
Of one nobly couraE Ee0us man had
literally saved the day.

You know there is only one baby in

baby is worshipped by the care that is
taken to keep its little slip neat and

wonder that any one should take so
much care for the little thing. No
body ever comes to see the baby. and
no one would ever know whether its
clothes were clean or not. but thero the
white waist hangs every other day, Just

The old'way of running pulleys from

clothes-lines staring at you from every
elevated-car window, and even swing
ing in your dreams. A vision some
what akin to the one in the picture will
come to you in the dim watches OF the
night, and, lingering like nightmare,
demand to be explained. You will see
nothing in the tleeting picture but a
pair of under-garments bellying in the
breeze like a yacht under frll sail, and
pair of socks begging with open holes
for a housewives care. There isn't
anything very sentimental about all
this, but somehow the swinging gar
ments will whisper to you that their
owner is fat man and has never mar
ried, and you feel kind of sympathy
for him and his undarned clothes.
In spite of your resolve not to look,
the first glance ont of the window
shows you this picture Of family
group of washing, and straightway you
assign a piece to every member of the
family as positively as ever Silas Wegg
