zen. Howard's Story of Stonewall
Jackson's Flank Attack.
From Gen. o. o. Towards article on
"Stonewall Jackson's Flank Attack at
Charlottesville" in the Century for Sep
TENDER, the following interesting extract
is taken:
somebody's guns Numbered away for
lew short minutes, and then came the
htful rattle Of musketry; and before l
could again get into the saddle there
arose the ceaseless roar of the terrible
storm. l sent out my chief of staff. Col.
Armussen, who was the first officer to
mount. The firing is in front of Devens /;
go iand see il all Is in order on the
extreme right He instantly turned
and galloped away. mounted and set
on for prominent place in rear of
ochurz's line, who was to change front to
the northwest of every brigade southeast

tended beyond Devens' right flank for lit

our men-not the few stragglers that al
ways fly like the chat at the first breeze,
but scores of tbem-rushing into the open
ing, some with arms and some without,
running or falling before they got behind
the covers OF Devens' reserves, and before
Gen. Schurz's waiting masses could de-
ploy or charge. The noise and the smoke
nlled the air with excitement, and 20 add
to 1t Dieckmann's gunH and caissons,
with batterymen scattered, rolled and
tumbled like runaway wagons and carts
In thronged city. The guns and the
| masses OF the right brigade struck the
second lines OF Devens before McLean's
front had given way and, quicker than 1t
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 fragments.
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-de-camp, Dessauer, was struck
by shot and killed, and for few mo-

From Middleton.

MIDDLETON, Tenn. Jan. IS, 1886.
A few weeks since, / read IN the
columns Of your paper, the Bulletin
where some kInd-hearted woman had
round a band of mercy. My heart
thrilled with pleasure. as read the
names Of 50 many little boys and
iris who are willing to pledge
81 mselves to he kind a d humane
to all Of our Heavenly Fathers crea-
lures, | wish each one could have
seen the exhibit of the Band of
Mercy at the Worlds FAIR last spring
Il was very attractive, and then they
had so many nice tract and leaflets
to give away. Beautiful little iilus>
trated cards, instructive papers,
teaching us how and why we should
be kind to the duInb-animals They
have large societies IN several Of the
large cities. So you see It is no
"smail thing to belong to a Band
of Mercy.
Now want to speak word about
another band Of boys aud girls of all
ages and sizes. 1t is called Band
of Hope" and the pledge is this:
II hereby promise, by the help of
God, to abstain from the use Of all
intoxicating liquors, including wine
beer and cider, as a beverage, also
tobacco in any of its foEms and the
use of profane language
Don't you think any boy or girl
that signs this pledge and keeps It
to ripe old age will be pure, clean
and noble in the sight of all men?
For the Band Of Hope there are the
incest books, papers, tracts treating
of beer, wine, cider, whiskey, tobac
CO etr. Also catechism on the al
cOhol and beer teaching its effects OH
the human system, which think is
splendid, all published by tie ".
G. I. u. board of publication New
York and Chicago.
Our w. &, L. u. has taken up
juvenile work and We now haye q
Baud of Hope Of about 36 members
The children are eager to join and
it is such pleasant work TO meet
twice "a month to teach them "TeEa-
pcrance.'
Will not some of the christian
women Of Bolivar form a Band OF
Hope at that place? l hope so.
Let US make the people intelligent
about the nature and effects Of |
intoxicants upon the moral and ply
steal being of man. Teach il to our
children as we would anv.- other
science, and the next generation will
not see so many arunkards.

How to Reclaim Old FIELDS.

Plant them in locust II matters
not how badly washed the field may
be they will grow locust trees which in
a few years will be worth for fencing
purposes many times the value Of the
land
Mr. Vance of Giles County, a few
year ago planted a worn-oul hillside
with locust and he expressed the
opinion that it yielded a greater
profit than any part of his farm.
Mr.. P. Alexander, of New Liberty,
KY, has ten acres planted in locust,
now tenyearold. Not only is the TIM
Der worth thice as much as the
land, but the grazing capacity Of the
landhas been Immensely improved
And ADVISES III the Horn and Farm
those who haYefields wash into innu-
merable gnllie which are year by
year growing worse to plant
black locust. LeYel down he says,
the bad place SO the teams can
cross PlowBnd plaut i II com early
If planted one way set trees IN every
fifth or sixth row, fifteen feet apart.
The cultivation is not SO much for
the crop as for the benefit of the
young trees Being planted in the
rows with the corn insures their pro
lection from the team and liz some
degree from the singlelree One
difficulty to be found is the trees
Sbonld be put out as a general thing
before corn will do well. Avoid this
by taking up the trees and hee ing
them in near the place where wanted.
This will check their growth for a
while. Exercise care in taking up
and handling Cut back the tops a,
