Conflicting Names of Battles.

Frequent allusion has been made to
this subject. and it has been prolific
cause Of annoyance. For the benefit
Of readers we give General D. HI. Hills
version, as found in the Century.
The conflict OF the 18th of septem-
Der, 1862, is called the battle OF
South Mountain at the North, and
the battle OF Boonsboro' at the South.
So many battlefields of the civil war
bear double names chat we cannot be-
lieve the duplication has been acciden-
tai. 1t is the unusual which impresses.
The troops of the North came
mainly from cities, towns, and vii
lagos, and were, Therefore, impressed
by some natural objects near the
scene OF conflict, and named the bat
tie from it. The soldiers from the
south were chiefly from the country,
and were, therefore, impressed by
some artificial object near the field o
action. In one section the naming has
been after the handiwork of God; in
the other section it has been after the
handiwork OF man. Thus the first
passage of arms is called the battle of
Bull Run at the north-the name OF a
little stream. At the south it takes
the name Manassas, from a railroad
station. The second battle on the
same ground is called the Second Bull
Run by the north, and the Second
Manassas by the south. Stones de-
feat is the battle of Balls Bluff with
the Federals, and the battle of Lees
burg with the Confederates. The bat
tie called by General Grant Pitts
burgh Landing, a natural object, was
named Shiloh, after a church by its
antagonists. Rosecrans called his
first great battle with Bragg the bat
tie of Stone River, while Bragg named
it after Murfreesboro, village. So
McCiellan's battle of Chickahominy, a
little river, was with Lee the battle
OF cold harbor, a tavern. The FEEDER
ais speak of the battle of Pea Ridge as
the Ozark range of mountains, and
the Confederates call it after Elk
Horn, q country inn. The Union sol
diers. called the bloody battle three
days after South Mountain from the
little stream Antietam, and the south
ern troops named it after the village
of Sharpsburg. Many instances
might be given OF this double naming
by the opposing forces.

November Marriages in Holland.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Of the twelve months in the year
November is reckoned in certain villa
ges in Holland to be by far the most
important. The four Sundays of this
month are known respectively as Re
view Sunday, Decision Sunday, Pur-
chase Sunday and Possession Sunday
names which sufficiently explain the
purposes to which each is put by the
young people. On Review Sunday the
unmarried girls and young men after
the morning service walk up and down
staring at one another to their hearts
content. Having made up their minds
whom to select on the following Sun
day, the youths with the politest bows
imaginable salute the fair ones, and
Judge from the way in which their cour
tesy is responded to whether success
or defeat is to be their lot. The third
Sunday is devoted to the less roman
tic task OF obtaining the consent ofthe
parents, and arranging in business
ike fashion the details of the marriage
settlement. The stern he arts OF those
in authority having been satisfactor-
lily subdued, all the following week the
parson IS busy at marrying, but not
until Possession Sunday comes round
are the happy betrothed permitted
more than an afectionate gaze, or at
most tender squeeze of the hand.

ing day q party OF the country folk,
returning homeward, passed the Old

"Old Peter Fame is at work in the

stopped "Whose erist can he begrind-

Prompted by curiosity, they plunged
through the drifts and knocked at the
cottage door. There was no answer.
They knocked again; still no reply.
They tried the door, but it was fas-

1.-THE CHATTER of the machinery pre-

Once, twice, thrice they knocked;
still there was no responsibility the

scratched against the boards OF the

Their curiosity was piqued and they
pulled at the boards Of the door until

swung open.
AS they stood in the doorway the
flood OF gray twilight poured into the

dust which the opening of the door
had raised they saw Peter Fame, lean

"Hey! Peter Fane!" they shouted,

FRIEND RUTH'S PREJUDICE

FRIEND RUTH'S PREJUDICE.
BY HELEN FOREST GRAVES.
aNomans Journal.
A farm! Seventy acres! All Of our
own? Is thee sure, Patience, that
thee isn't dreaming?"
Little Patience Plumb wicked her
bright blue eyes again, to make sure
that she was certainly and indubita-
bly, wide awake.
f.Ns, Aunt Ruth" said she, 81 am
mot dreaming. Read the letter thy
self"
And Aunt Ruth, setting her specta-
Giles across her nose, took the folded

~ spelled out the words which, heard
from other lips, had such a fabulous
sound.
Yes, it was true. Guarded about
with legal phrases, there was the in
fteiIigence that she, Ruth Plumb, who
wove rag-caGpets for livelihood, and
seontentedly ate mush and milk when
she could not get beef and potatoes,
was a landed proprietress now of a
farm up IN Rhode Island, which had
belonged to one Ezra Nutting. third
,or fourth cousin whom she had never
seen.
Little Patience looked at the elder
woman.
"Aunt Ruth" said she, isn't thee
going out to see it, And mayn't I go
avith thee?''
<EThee may go with me, little Pay"
said Miss Plumb, smiling; '.but as for
going out to see it, railway journeys
cost money, and when we go we shall
stay
N<Will thee live there, Aunt Ruth?''
cried Patience, wish sparkling eyes.
Miss Plumb looked pathetically
around the little chamber, whose one
window was bedimmed by monster
back wall.
81 have always longed for country
home, Patience, "shasaid- -.'Thee has
always lived III the city; thee does not
know how a person feels who has once
stood on the hills and heard the free
swind roaring through the pine trees"
So the loom was stopped, and the
little cupboard door locked, and the
two women went to Nebasset, near
which rocky promontory, on the edge

after. all. A queer little brown house,
like n discolored mushroom, q huddle
..of barns, and a stone cellar hewn into
Ehe rocky side OF beetling hill, in
which were arranged rows of barrels
ION a sort OF stone shelf.
Miss Plumb peered inquiringly at
these barrels as, escorted by David
Lorr, a handsome sunburned young
giant who occupied the next farm she
went over the property for the first
time
<1What are these, Friend David?"
she asked doubtfully.
"Guess likely they'er cider" said

A Fighting Presbyterian.

BELFAST, June 4-The Rev. Hugh Hanna,
D. d., Presbyterian minister of st. Enoch's
Church, this city, preached a sermon last even
ing on the recent riots. He said: 1--WE will not
become partners of the apostles of sedition and
outrage, but we will defend ourselves from the
domination of such. The loyal celebration of
victory enraged the government which, traitor
Gus to its trust, has slaughtered our people. We
are resolved to maintain our relations with Eng
land. If the government thinks that Ulster
will be easily subjugated by a seditious Parlia-
ment, it has signally failed in its estimate of us.
The people of the North have effective means Of
resistance. but the time has not come yet to en-
ploy them. The humblest of the seven victims
who succumbed last Wednesday under the muir
derous fire of Mr.. Morleys militia presented

THE MURDEROUS APACHES.
Two Whites Killed in SOnOra-A Sentiment

TOMBSTONE. A. T., June 1.-two men were
killed by Apaches on Wednesday on San Pedro,
in Sonora, fifteen miles below the line Advices
from Deming announce the finding of the body
of a man on the Florida mountains, dead, the
features unrecognizable. In the pockets were
letters addressed to Charles T. Wisner. All the

march on the reservation clean it out, and to
spare neither women nor children. While this
is not the sentiment of a majority, the people of
that section express somewhat similar views.
The residents of southern Arizona do not want
the Apaches driven into Sonora, as recommended
by General Miles in a recent telegram to the
War Department. as Sonora is entirely too
close to Arizona to render this section
safe from future depredations should the
hostiles finally fly to the Sierra Madre mount
aims. General Miles will not hesitate to employ
strong force of Sonora Pmas, mostly natives
of the Sanhuarha district. and in that event a
speedy determination of the hostiles will be in
evitable, for the Sierra Madre Pimas are infinite

Mrs. George Shippard, whose husband was killed
by Apaches before the Calabasas raid, has since
died from grief and from the effects of the shock
and exposure she underwent during her night Of
captivity. Her first husband-a Scotch Cana
dian-was a companion of Geronimo in his
younger days, and after Geronimo ascertained
who she was, he gave her his serape to put
around her shoulders, for the night was cold,
and said: 'sIf had know that man belonged to

but will continue to kill whites till my wife and
child are returned from the far-off country to
