Extract from Long Branch Letter, by a
Woman, in the New York star.
A man of the world wishing to impress
a Southern woman said, Il would not kiss

garment without your glad CONSENT he
should have left off the first sentence-a
Southern lover would have, and then in
time he would have gained his hearts de-

any mustard-an which delights the fine
taste OF gourmet, but which would seem

Gen Cox was manifestly defeated on his
civil service record He has been bold
advocate of that doctrine and was honored
with the position as chairman of the Civil

Carolina representatives he has been the
great champion of that principle, and the
Younger and more progressive element Of

The Little Tots.

At an infant class in an Elmira school the
other day the teacher, while talking about
cyclones and hurricanes mot the hurry canes
used by some teachers) asked how many had
ever seen the wind. There being no answer,
the next question was, how many of you see
me2 when all hands were raised. She then
asked why can you see me while you cannot
See the wind? Silence br0oded Ger the scene
for a moment when a little four-years-oid boy
raised his hand, and being recognized by the
teacher, innocently answered, " Because you
are not all wind

months-old baby brother was bald and toothless.
and believing in the efficacy Of prayer added

the other night: "0h, Lord bless little Percy
and do give him some hair and some teeth"
A Kingston family moved from their house
a month ago, aud recently, says the Freeman,
the little girl Of the family and her mother
went TO call On the lady who occupied the
house they had vacated. While there the child
saw very small baby that had arrived but a
few days before. She looked at it carefully,
and then said: Mamma, we moved too soon
we'd have got that baby If we had stayed here"
Mrs. Goilemame, with her three children, has

The train was stopped after some delay, and
the frantic mother and others hurried back "a

To THE EDITOR Your correspondent, Mr..
w. w. Jackson. Of Washington, ID. c., in your
issue Of the 10Th ult. says that the question
Of the first muster into the United States serv-
ice for three years is easily solved" and then
proceeds to bestOw that honor upon the 18th
ILL.,, giving its date of muster as May "a, 1861.
But the gentleman has not solved the question
after all. If he will take the pains TO inquire
into the facts he will find that Cos. B and /, of
the 10Th Mass, were mustered into the United
States service for three years May IA, 1861, 10
days before the 18th Ill, and he will also find
that Co. A, of the 10Th regiment, was mustered
May Fl, 1861 while Cos. G, ID, E and K, Of the
latter regiment, were mustered for three years
May p, 1861. As / was an original member OF
one of the last-named companies, think / can
speak upon this subject from personal knowl-
edge as well as Mr.. Jackson. There is still an
other bit Of information upon this interesting
subject which Mr.. j. can learn by reference %
the War Department rolls, viz, that Capt P. A.
Dagis's company, of Lowell, Mass, an indepen-
dent company of infantry, called the Richard
son Light Guards" afterwards organized as the
18th Mass. Light Battery, was mustered into the
service for three years May 81, 1861. Now that
the subject is under discussion, it would be in
teresting to have it settled what body of vol
unteers can claim the high honor referred to-

The 18th Mass. Visits Gettysburg, Antietam and
BalI'a Bluff.

One hundred and fifty veterans and guests OF
the 18th Mass, mostly from Worcester, arrived
nc Gettysburg on the LIST inst. by special train,
and on the following morning dedicated their
imposing monument on Round Top avenue mt
the clump of trees. 1t is of Quincy granite,
eight feet high, highly polished, with Italian
marble has relief of private soldier at ready.
The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev.
c. NJ Palmer, followed by singing America"
Ex-Attorney- General Charles Devens delivered
an Grafton, and was followed by Gen. John w.
Kimball, OF Fitchburg; Col. George c. Joslin,
of Boston, and Col. Charles Philbrick, Of Law
renee, all former commanders of the regiment.
The party then took in the battlefield under
Guide HoltZworth, and returned to the monu-
ment which marks the spot where Col. George
III. Ward received six wounds while leading the
regiment near the Emmittsburg road. The
monument is of Quincy granite 10 feet high,
with inlaid marble medallion likeness of Col.
Ward. Gen. A. b. r. Sprague, of Worcester,
made the address at this point, followed by
brief remarks by Congressman w. w. Rice and
Mai. Church Howe, Speaker of the Nebraska
State Senate. Gen. Devens formally turned
over both monuments to the Memorial Associa-
ton, Secretary Krauth.. receiving them. The
party on the following day proceeded TO SharPs-
burg and visited the famous field of Antietam,
after which they proceeded TO Washington.
Balls Bluff was visited on Sunday, and on
Monday many of the excursionists returned
home. while some visited Richmond and battle
fields in the vicinity

Cedar Maintain.

To THE EDITOR: was very much interested
in the spirited account Of the battle Of Cedar
Mountain, by II. A. Trip. The moment saw
the diagram of the field recognized it, and was
much interested in the account of my regiment,

gade, composed Of the 9Th, 18th, 10Th and 66th
Ohio. / well remember lying behind Knapp's

noon. In due time we went forward, and just
as we got over the ridge in the eornfeld we
were received by fearful fire from the rebel
battery at the edge of the mountain, on our left,
at short range. We lost 10 killed, 81 wounded
and IA captured. 1 was struck twice and had
my gun knocked from my hands. After lying
some time unable to move, was assisted over

Rich Find OF Silver In New Mexico.

A remarkably rich deposit of silver ore has
Just been discovered in Southwestern New
Mexico. Last month while an Italian miner
was at work in the tunnel of Messrs. Rouchaner
e. Campfeld, his drill suddenly struck some
thing very soft Campfeld had promised the
Italian new suit of clothes if he struck it
rich" From that day the miner seemed be-
side himself with anxiety to make the find.
Hastily Withdrawing the drill he loaded and
blasted away the rock, uncovering perhaps the
richest body of ore ever found in New Mexico.
Picking up lump of the precious ore the now
frantic Italian rushed out of the tunnel 10 a
room where Campfeld was asleep. Shaking him
violently, he cried: "You no more sleep; you
very rich; but / must have fine suit CLOSE"
He got his clothes. The ore averages over
81, 900 per ton. A drift has been run along the
border of the ore for distance of 40 feet,
exposing the deposit over ~ feet high and six
feet thick the entire length of the drift. How
much further it extends is not yet known.
There is something like 100000 worth Of ore
in sight Six carloads have already been
shipped TO the smelter. This shipment will net
$4,000. 1t costs So per ton TO haul the ore TO
the railroad. The discovery has caused ire
mendous excitement in the vicinity of Kings
ton. It is believed when the extent Of the
discovery becomes known in Colorado there
will be grand rush for the new silver mines,
as il is comparatively a virgin section, there
being many claims open TO location.

Herr Most, the Anarchist, who was few
weeks since arrested in disreputable New
York resort, was sentenced on the LIST inst 70
the penitentiary for one year and 20 pay fine Of
$3.50. Schenck was sent 10 the penitentiary for
nine months. but not fined. Recorder Smyth,
In sentencing Most, expressed deep regret that
the law did not permit him TO imposes heavier
sentence. His crimes, he said, deserved the
punishment awarded TO capital ofenses He
also told him he was the greatest scoundrel he
had ever seen nc that bar. Braunschweig, the
Recorder said, was almost equally guilty.
Schenck, be thought, was q dupe Of his COM
paniOns, but he deserved punishment TO warn
him and Others against following the teachings
OF such men as Most. Neither OF the prisoners
attempted 10 speak word in court. After be-
ing sentenced Most Braunschweig, and Scbenck
were returned 10 The TombS, and thence trans
ferred to the penitentiary on Blackwells Island
Most was put TO work In the blacksmith shop,
BraunschWeig in the engine house, and Schenck
in the shoe shop. The three prisoners broke
down completely on being dressed in prison

The Farmers ReUieiC reports that the weather
conditions have continued unfavorable in the
Spring wheat belt for the growing grain. In
many sections Of Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas. Minnesota, and Dakota considerable
damage has already resulted from lack Of rain,
and the drought is still unbroken.
Reports from Minnesota indicate that the
average condition of the growing Spring wheat
has been lowered from 10 10 Is per cent. dur
ing the first ID days. The need Of rain is indi-
Gated from nearly all portions of Kansas. In
Nebraska and Iowa the continued dry spell has
already caused considerable injury, but from
majority Of the Counties the outlook is still
reported good for an average yield of wheat
In Henry and johnson Counties, in Iowa, vast
quantities of grasshoppers have appeared.
The same report comes from Lake County,
Ind.
The general outlook for Winter wheat ha:
not been changed from the last report. In
portions Of Missouri an unusually large yield
Is assured. Similar reports come from Indiana
and Ohio. Michigan viii not produce more
than IS or 20 per cent Of last years yield.

unconscious of 10. unless Il was from n battery
of the Fwenty-third Corps. IF any part Of the
corps Except two brigades Of the Second Di-
vision) was driven out that day, our men were
not aware of it. Those two brigades contained
as good fighting material as any in the army.
They were driven by superior force, but were
not disheartened. Every part Of our attacking
force did its duty without faltering. III one
brigade or regiment accomplished more than
another toward recovering the lost grO1ai it
was because the circumstances favored ir more
than others. The whole movement occupied
but few minutes. We dropped so suddenly
on the enemy that they scarcely had time to
reload. They got out Of there as hastily as our
fellows had done before. We drove them out I;
they manuvered our men out.
After the line was recovered it was again
restored to the care and keeping Of the Second
Division. The rebels were not yet satisfied.
They pushed their forces forward again in the
hope Of retaking the disputed field At that
time we were in the act Of Withdrawing to our
original position on the north side of the valley
before mentioned. As we were in the open field
we drew their fire. More men were hurt while
going back than in the advance. But the last
effort of the rebels was not success. They
met with hot reception at every point and
soon abandoned their effort. The battle was
over, and victory had perehed on our banners,
although the effort had cost many lives.
The seventeenth Corps was content with the
laurels won on that day. We of the Fifteenth
Corps would not deprive them Of a single honor
gained by their courage and steadfastness. We
felt proud Of them, and never withheld from
them our need Of praise. On the other hand, |
am sure they never blushed at being named in
the same connection with the Fifteenth Corps.
They never suspected what a shabby lot Of fell
lows we were until they read Gen. Leggett's
account Of how bravely they held their own
and magnifcently extended assistance to US. 1
hope and believe that Leggett's account Of the
operations on other parts Of the field were more
reliable than his illusions to the Fifteenth
Corps. Judge w. B. Woods, of the United
States Supreme Court, commanded our regi-
ment then, and 1 think he will say that no
more than two brigades were driven. So will

what actually transpired on our part of the
line. Our Fourth Division was off assisting the
