Adelaide Procter's Death

Adelaide Proctor sought, it can with
truth be said, in the practical walks of
life. to be humble disciple of One who
went about continually doing good"
Her health. always uncertain, proved
unequal to the strain which the
unwearied energies of the kindly nature
made upon it, and for fifteen months
she did her best to cultivate the grace of
patience amid the increasing weakness
which kept her prisoner on bed of
pain. The great passover" as death
has been beautifully called, drew near
to Adelaide Proctor very softly, and
found that gentle heart, to which life
had been half a pleasure, half grief"
still strong TO hope, to bear, to love-"
At the approach Of midnight on Feb. 2,
1864, with weak and trembling hands, she
turned down the leaf of book she was
reading, and gazing into the watchful
eyes of her mother. suddenly asked:
do you think / am dying, mammas'
Mrs. Proctor could only say how exceed
ingly ill she thought her; but Adelaide
guessed the rest. She said her feet
were cold. She asked for her sister and
begged to be lifted up. As her sister en-
tered the room she glanced across at her
with radiant and triumphant smile,
and exclaiming, 1t has come at last!"

steers on a Stampede.

Nothing have ever seen is half so
wild and foolish as frightened steer,
and bunch of beef steers on a stampede
are not to be laughed at; they will stop
for nothing, and will run down and over
anything that offers resistance in their
path. The only way it is possible to
stop them is TO ride ahead of the herd
and gradually turn them to running in
a circle, when they will finally stop, but
will be off again at the slightest unusual
noise. Ii a mans horse were to stumbl,
in prairie dogs hole and fall it would
mean certain death to both horse and
rider. as the whole herd would be upon
him in an instant; but the daring and
reckless cowboy takes ali such chances.

turning homeward. passel the old mill.
There was no sign of human life about
the premises, no smoke from the Chin
ney, no footsteps in the snow: and yet
through the silence of the gathering
twilight came the clatter Of the mill and
the sad bowling Of dog.
-Old Peter Fame is at work In the
MILL" these country folk said as they
stopped. Whose grist can he be grind
ing that he works ON Thanksgiving
Day."
Prompted by curiosity they plunged
through the drifts, and knocked at
the cottage door. There was no an
swer. They knocked again; still no re-
ply. They tried the door, but il was
fastened.
The clatter of the machinery pre-
vents his hearing" said one; "let US try
at the door of the mill itself"
Once, twice, thrice they knocked, still
there was no response-only the loud
whining of the dog inside, as he
scratched against the boards of the
door.
"Strange!" remarked farmer. HAS
Peter Fame grown suddenly deaf that he
can not hear us? Or has he gone away
and left the old mill to run itself2"
Their curiosity was piqued and they
pulled at the boards of the old door un-
til the rusty latch gave way and the
door swung open.
As they stood in the doorway the
flood of gray twilight poured into the
old mill and through the clouds of dust
which the opening door had raised they
saw Peter Fame, leaning against a post,
with averted face as if watching the re-
volving mill-stones.
Hey! Peter Fane!" they shouted, "are
you deaf that you did not heed all the
racket that we nader
But Peter Fame never stirred nor an
swered their inquiry. A feeling of awe
began slowly to creep over them as they
advanced, and one, bolder than the rest,
stretched out his hand to put it on the
old mans shoulder and attract his atten-
ton. But suddenly he paused, and the
outstretched arm dropped to his side, for
he saw that in truth Peter Fame would
hear no more earthly voices-for Peter
Fame was dead.
There was no corn in the hopper, no
meal in the bin; but yet the mill clacked
on, grinding the air, and Peter Fane's
cold and rigid body stood as if watch
ing it.
Who was the stranger? Who were
the guests that had visited the old man
the night before? Peter Fame never
awoke TO tell.-Arthur Dudley Vinton in

Experiment in Prison Management.

The new experiment which the Dutch
are making in prison management will
be watched with interest throughout
Europe. Hitherto Holland has held the
belief that two years in a separate cell is
as much as a criminal can stand and
survive. This month the Dutch have
amended their code so that every prisoner
sentenced to term of impriso' ment Of
five years and over will spend the first
five years of his term in cellular confine-
ment. As in Holland even the chapels
are constructed on the cellular principle,
and the prisoners wear masks whenever
they leave the narrow precincts of their
living grave, the Dutch experiment
seems very severe. Boston Transcript.

The Camps OF Virginia.

"Are you descended from one of the 22?" is
the first question asked when you Introduce Mr.
Camp to Mr. Canp-which is explained as fol-
lows: Benjamin Camp of Virginia had II sons
and one daughter by his first wife, who, not
unnaturally, died. lie married new wife and
repeated his record having by her Ii sons and
one daughter. Having gathered about him his
% sons and two daughters be felt that he had
fully obeycd Gods first injunction, and died
the death of the just. The n children of Ben
jamin Camp were, as might have been expected,
a prolific and stalwart race. Only one of them,
daughter. approached the fathers record. She
had % children. One of the SONS found him
self at reunion with 3l6 sons and descendants,
his own last born, postulate Of 16 days, being
the youngest child present. The prepotency
of the old Virginian was remarkable. The men
who sprang from his stalwart loins and their
descendants are to be fonnd in every Southern
State, having his characteristics Of courage, in
dustry, and shrcwdncss. They are steady
lovers, good husbands, religious as a rule, and
clannish.

Good Story by John Sherman,

Col. VIM. L. Morrison and John Sherman
were discussing the relative merits of their
different State Legislatures the other day, when
the Chic statesman said u never knew a
citizen of my State who was ashamed of being
a member of the General. Assembly. and that's
more than / can say for Illinois," and then,
when the Colonel asked for proof OF the asser-
ton, Senator Sherman continued:
away back in the sos there lived in Ham,
ilton County, o., disreputable fellow named
Johnston. He finally moved out to Illinois
and the community bTeathed freer for his alb
sence. A few years ago one of Johnstons for
mer neighbors met him at Springfield. After
some conversation, Johnston said:
al suppose | left pretty hard reputation
behind ne III OhiO?'
al am sorry to say you did, was the unfeel-
ing reply.
az hope you'll tell them I've reformed, ,
continued Johnston, and that I'm also mem
Der of the Illinois legislature
1.-The friend promised to do so and started
away, when Johnston called him back:
s. You say they still regard me as pretty
tough citizen out there?'
Again his friend answered in the affirma-
tive.
WELL said Johnson, sinking his voice to a
whisper, / guess you better tell them every
thing you know about me except that Pm a
member of the Illinois Legislature. / don't
think I'd say anything about that"

A Terrible Ordeal.

The following is Il Union ColoneFs story of
! the battle at New Hope Church, May q. 1864:
1t was the most severe ordeal which my
! nervous system has ever undergone. When we
! began the advance we naturally expected that
the artillery would open upon us rs soon as we got
within range, and that, having swept forward
until we were in reach of the fire of mushetry,
that would begin to open upon rs also. l had been
! through so much Of this that | had ceased to
! fear il, and always relied on the excitement of
! the occasion carrying me forward: but here we
ran for some 200 yards or more, and there was
! not cannon shot. Another 100 yards and still
no explosion of bombShellS or anything OF the
kind / now began to feel little strange.
Another leo yards, and still 10 sign OF life, and
nay nervousness began to give place TO a desire
to halt. Another 100 yards and VIC were GER
tainly within range of musketry: but still
there was not one sign of life in the in,rench-
meuts in front of us; nothing to give cause for
apprehension, apparently, except the waving of
the Confederate flags above the works as a light
wind blew. Now over me began to come q
mortal feeling of dread, a feeling which never
felt before, and which l can scarcely describe.
/ would have turned and fed but for the fear
Of disgrace, which was stronger even than the
horror of death. But knew what was coming,
and determined by my example to inspire my
men to brave it, 10 matter how terrible it was.
AT length we were within scarcely more than
| 20 yards of the intrcnchments, when from all
along the line protruded forth, beneath the head
logs, scores and hundreds of muskets. | could
| see them as gave quick glance down the whole
front and those immediately before me partiu-
ularly seemed slightly waving from side to
side. There was no installing it. | knew that
every holder OF a muSlct was picking out his
man. This continued for but few moments
when above all other sounds, distinct and clear,
/ heard the command given, Now. men, fire !!
Instantly from along the entire line there

sheet Of flame and smoke. | was struck and
fell serscless for an instant, but when l re-
covered myselfand turned to look, there seemed
to be scarcely seven men of my entire regiment
on their feet. Then the fury of the combat
arose above every other sight sound. The
whole forest and mountain seemed to be on
fire. There is no army in the world that could
have stood before it."
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1886-04-15

There was great smoke and small blaze.
Then somebody blew it and there was great
smoke and no blaze. The jubilant singing
ceased. Then somebody else blew it and there
was neither smoke nor blaze. Then new
man swore he knew how to make it burn and
tried his hand, and did no better; then another,
who also made miserable failure. Repeated
trials and repeated failures at last convinced
us that if there is one thing that will not burn,
it is green pine. With hands blistered and
faces blackened by overmuch tinlzering with
the fire, with eyes Redeemed by the pungent
smoke, we had, altogether, q pitiable time or
it. Those who had money went into the
woods back of the camp and played draw
poker; those who had none wrapped them
selves in their dirty blankets and dozed away
the time in state of semi-terpor.
Nor can l ever forget the rainy night in the
fallow field near Taylors Gap. 1t was dark
when we went into camp; wood and water were
very scarce and had to be carried long way /;
we had made long march and were thoroughly
tired. During the night the rain ceased, the
wind blew up fresh and keen,

the men had erected, and by morning the
ground was frozen. Il was said that Tommy
Kennedy who took what little sleep he could
get sitting By the Ere, was found frozen to the
ground aud had to be cut loose with an ax and
pricd out with a rail. l do not vouch for the
truth of the story.
At noon on the second day after this we en-
tered Chattanooga. l suppose that there never
was collected together dirter, raggeder, jol-
lie- crowd of men than assembled on the bank
of the river that day. waiting to be swung
across III the little lcaky pendulum ferry boat.
There were men without hats and men with
out shoes. BlouScS were things Of shreds and no
patches: and there were whole companies i'll as
bereft state, as far as shirts concerned. as
were Falstaff's ragged recruits. Some time
during the night the boat made its last oscii-
lation, and we went back to our old camps
to our tents TO our blankets, to our clean
shirts, to our regular rations Of coffee, beans,
and bareback, and, better than all, to a full
supply of letters from home.
This short campaign was not bloody one,
and did not cut much of figure i'll the news
papers, bnt that it was well thought of by
those who had a right to pronounce judgment,
the congTatuiatory orders of Gems. Sherman,
Davis. and Morgan fully show. l will only
add that it was Immediately after this trying
campaign that our whole brigade re-enlisted as
veterans.
