Were you with Ney's army when he
turned 1t over to Napoleon"
Il was, and well remember the day
that Ney's act of treachery took place.
Ney's and the struggling army of NApo-
leon met at Oloe bridge, better known at
the time as the bridge Of the Holy Ghost.
Napoleon's army was encamped a few
miles from the bridge, opposite our lines
The morning after the encampment We
saw some fla = Of truce in advance Of Ma
poleon's army and 1t was then that the
men began to suspect Ney's plans. but the
suspicious were not even whispered Soon
the flags disappeared and Ney gave ord
ers to prepare for an attack and marched
on to the bridge. When we reached the
opposite side OF the bridge We noticed
about a dozen men advancing from Ma
poleon's army on horseback, bearing flags
Of truce. Our army, which, all told, did
not exceed 10000 men, came to a halt. Tho
men on horse back advanced and the CEN
ter one of the group proved to be Napols-
on himself At sight of HIM Ney ahd his
staff dismounted. Napoleon also dis
mounted and was warmly embraced by
Ney and his officers. OF course . shout
In honor of Napoleon went up from our
ranks. Well, history has recorded the
rest. We were forced to combine with
Napoleen's army Of boys between the ages
of 10 and 20 years and go on to Waterloo
and defeat. "-Father .Neyron In Chicago

The increased interest that is being
taken in the development of the vast coal
fields OF the south has given a boom to the
sale OF coal stoves in that section of the
country. Not many years g there was
not a single coal stove in Arkansas, but
now they can be seen in every county In
the state There Is not only = greater de-
mand during the fall for coal stoves for
heating purposes, but many orders. come
from that state and Texas for cooking
stoves, with crate attachment. such as are
used in st. Louis, and there are few towns
in either one of those states where such
stoves can not be purchased. Convict
labor is used for digging coal in Arkansas,
which enables the operators to sell the
product As cheap ~ it can be obtained
anywhere. and the result Is that it l. more
economical to burn Goa thar wood, hence
the boom In coal stoves--Cor. Globe Dem

In the hot weather a piano should not
be placed in a damp room or left open In
a draft OF air. for dsmpness Is the most
dangerous enemy. 1t causes the strings
and tuning pins to rust and the cloth used
in the construction of the keys of action
to swell, whereby the mechanism will
move sluggishly or often stick together.
Continued dampness will also injuriously
affect the varnish nj raise the soft nbers
of the sounding board, thus forming
ridges. Extreme heat is scarcely less in
furious. A piano should be closed when
not in use. In order to prevent the &C
emulation of dust, pins, etc., on the

opened occasionally and daylight allowed
to strike the keys; otherwise the ivory

changes. .Snf rf uo-t 1W IS ai,
On the day that Fitz John Porter made

A matter which greatly exercised the
Confederates during the early part OF the
war was the use of balloons by the Fed
erals to spy at our position. At York
town. where almost daily ascensions were
made, our camps. batteries, field works
and all defenses were plain to tbs vision
of the occupants of the balloon, and It
was also quite easy to form a reliable esti-
mate Of our numbers.
These balloon ascensions excited M
more than all the outpost attacks, and 1t
was officially determined to put q
stop to them At whatever, cost. Tho
longest range rifles in the south were sent
for, and they were put into the hands
OF Confederstes noted for their marks
manship. but although the balloon
seemed to be within easy range, 1t was too
far away for any rifle to do execution from
our outposts. Light artillery was then
brought into play. uSng both SHOT and
shell, but somehow the target could not
be struck. We finally opened upon 1t
with any and every piece of ordnance
which could be brought to bear, but while
we threw shot far beyond 1t, and appar-
emily close to 1t, we could not even
brighten the men in the basket Between
our outposts and those of the Federal was
half a mile of neutral territory. One
dark night thirty-dve Confederate sharp
shooters, each armed with the heaviest
rifle known to our southern hunters, were
sent out to creep as far across the neutral
ground as pc ssible, find hiding places, and
TO open on the balloon next morning. The
result WAS disastrous to Us. Ten OF the
men we're captured before the balloon as
cended, and the rest of US had hardly
opened fire when . heavy force hunted US
out and killed or captured all but six. a
