The Potomac's fair suffered little from
the severe weather last evening. or course

Mother Goose as a Ere. Trader

For unique and sa,tllng logic give us
the fee trader who wac born with the virus
IN his blood rather than one OF the Keu-
lucky breed, whose "prlnc'ple" grows out
cf the fertility Of the whisky ring.
Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, argues that
because the percentage of decrease iu popn
laton from 1870 to 1850 was less than at
some period before the rebellion, therefore
the protective tariff WAS q failure and a
fraud. 10 his admirable view, the failure

Of protection was equally bad for the

Had the bowl been stronger

But your dyed in the wool Bourbon,
with free trade instead of blood In the
greater part Of his veins, cares little for
consistency. Probably Mr.. C9lquitt thlnks
that the railroads should increase ms much
prop portlonately after state is griiironel
with them as at the time the first rail Is
laid, aud that after the population Of the
United States reaches one hun1rel million
its percentage Of growth should be as rapid
as when but one million people occupied
these shores.
However, 1t takes all sorts of sophi.try to
combat the principle OF protection, and MIR.
ColQuitts is as good as Mr.. BecS's, and
great deal more original, FOR the Georgia
senator has introduced the entertaining
logic suggestive of Mother Goose, while the
senator from Kentucky annually and peren.
nially trots out that sort OF philosophy
which declares that the "sun do move"
and that the everrenewiog generations OF
men must never 60 forward, but stand and
wait for Kentucky Bourboni.m to come up

Mason W. Burt, of this city, had charge
of the picket line. The night was dark,
and while in my position ! could dis
tinguish in the gloom an individual or
body of men some distance away.
heard a troop advancing towards our
line, and presently the body emerged
from the woods about twenty yards
from where | lay. One of the party,
whom | assumed to be the officer in
command, dismounted and advanced to-
wards the spot where ! was, followed
by the general body. Surprising some
surprise was meditated on our line, |
fred directly at the advancing troops
to give our pickets the alarm, and my
bullet, | presume, hit the dismounted
officer. to whom | have referred, as he
fell and was picked up by his comrades.
As / have explained, it was too dark
for me to distinguish his rank, il any
he had, and before could see or hear
more from his companions, the sharp
shooters in my rear open fire on the
Confederate troops, who turned and
fed, taking the man whom my shot had
killed or wounded with them. If the
latter was Stonewall jackson | knew
nothing of it, but from what hear it is
claimed that it was near the position
occupied by our company, and under
circumstances similar to those which |
have related, that he met his death. y
Such is the substance of Mr.. Rankin's
story in regard to the affair before

Found on the Battlefield.


A gentleman told me yesterday of a
strange experience related by friend
OF his. 1t was during the battle OF
Gettysburg that his friend, Just before
entering the action, took his canteen
from his shoulder and hid it in a creyice
in the rock. Then came that fiery hail
Of shot and shell that swept down regi-
ments like fields Of wheat before the
reaper. At the close Of the battle the
soldier forgot all about his canteen, nor
did it occur to him again until he visit
ed the tield 1.-THE late reunion Then
it flashed through his mind, and after a
few minutes search he found it where
he had left it on that momentous day.
1t seems scarcely credible that it could
have been overlooked during the min
ute exploration Of the field ever since
the war, but the gentleman who relat-
ed the incident IS Of unimpeaehable YER
acity. AibaRy ArgUs.
