"About three hundred. We havo an cpl

prison SO overcrowded can not bo kept

CHILDREN ON A BATTLE FIELD.

A writer, formerly Confederate
soldier, tells in the Vide A,cake pa
thetic story of two children lost on
battle field, in sudden assault of north
ern upon southern troops along a road
where the children were passing. They
were found, after the battle, Gin an old
field, whose long neglected burrows were
covered with thick growth of yellow
shining in the soft red rays of the setting
sun. The children were in one of the
moist, tangled fence corners. Their little
blue homespun frocks-for they both wore
dresses-were all torn and drsggled.
Their chubby faces brior scratchsd and
dirty. Their bare heads were matted
with dry leaves and straw. But l reckon
every man Of US thought that Gods
blue sky never looked down upon
prettier picture than they made lying
there, fast asleep and clasped closely in
each others arms.
"The sergeant stopped with low
chuckle of satisfaction. The little uns
is asleep for sure" he said, as he lifted
him gently and turned. The next moment
he staggered under his light burden and

his lips. The little head with its tangled
mass Of curls rolled heavily to one side;
the little arms hung inertly down the
sergeant's hands, where they supported
the tiny neck, were all dabbled in blood.
"The stray shot had done its cruel
work well. 1t had plowed across the
small white throat, and the baby's head
was almost severed from the little body.
"Ten minutes before We were all ready
to toss up for the privilege Of carrying
those little chaps home. But now every
man of US hung back, dumb and unnerved.
And the sergeant and Tom turned and
slowly tramped away through the falling
shadows 70 lay the living and the dead
together in the waiting mothers arms.
We followed silently, with uncovered
heads.
"More than once that night our pickets
were challenged from the other side, and
anxious inquiries made for the little ones.
When the answer went back across the
hush and the silence of night, we could
feel, though we could not see, the look
that swept over the faces of our toes.
And that look made US all akin"

COULDN'T Pa.Ay TulAr cams

Charles O,Neil. Of Peansylvanis. Is she
champion letter writer Of Congress. All
through the late deadlock he has been
constantly 10 his seat with his pen in his
hand and pad Of paper before him, snd
has scarcely looked up, exctps 90 vote
when his name was called. No smoant
of excitement can disturb his eqaanimity,
or divert him from his favosits occapa.
tiOn. Mr.. ONeil - = bachelor, sud has

he is uneasy a. y hen with one chicken

Another of Mr.. O'Neil's peeuliarities is
that he iovariably goes 70 Philadelphis
Friday nights, and spends Saturday, and
Sunday calling upon the persons TO whom
he has written in the course Of the week,
to ascertain whether they have received
his letters, and are satisfied " iih the in.

red book he keeps . record of all letters
received and answers mailed, with the
addresses If his correspondents. He can
at moments notice refer to every CON-
mnnication that has passed between him.
self and any of his constituents during his
entire Congressional career.
Mr.. O'Neil is the only man in Congress
who personally knows, and can call by
name every voter in his district. If he
receives letter from . person he does
not know, the first act after his arrival in
Philadelphia is to call upon that person
and make his acquaintance. Every new
family that moves into his district is at
once looked up, and every one that moves
away receives Godspeed from the Con-
gresham. Sometimes the other Pennsyl-
vauia members try to play practical jokes
upon their colleague. The other day one
Of the Pennsylvania members went to him,
saying:
"Charley, have letter from one of
your constituents, asking me to send him
some garden seeds. He says he has writ
ten to you several times, but cannot get
an answer"
What's his name ?"
Some fictitious name was given.
Where does he live p
Some address was named at random.

John was in the throes Of modification

He was amazed. The very sentence
he had been saving for under the gas.

OF his present opportunity. howeves,
Mary seemed to realize that she had been
immodest, aud she talked necessarily as
they walked on, as if determined that he
should reap no advantage from her remark.
John made scverl efforts to recall the
opportunity, bat was baffled every time
Then he determined to wait until they
stood beneath the gaslight, but when they
reached the parlor the light seemed to
burn more brightly than ever before, and
his courage departed. Once he made an
effort, but the FIST word that passed his
lips was "woes," and the consciousness
that he was blandering caused him to
blush and pause before trying again.
But a sweet "What were you going to
say ?" completed his embarrassment, and
he answered Nothing" and in despair
prepared to 60.
A moment later, as they stood at the
parlor door exchanging the last words,
and as Johns hand was on the knob,
Mary turned her blue eyes on him and
said with laugh:
You'll be sure to get home without
falling, for you'll have no one to drag
you down."
Johns face crimsoned. He was about
to protest she hadn't dragged him down
when he thought of his lost opportunity
after they had fallen. He had feeling
that the sentence he had been trying to
say all the evening would be singularly
inopportune now, but he was determined
not TO lose another chance. Despite that
feeling, and in sheer desperation, he
gasped:
MARY, let us woes our mutual shares
always"
Mary looked puzzled. For moment
she didn't grasp the purport of the mis-
quoted sentence. When it dawned upon
her flood of crimson passed over her
face, her eyes fell and she whispered
Yes"
And John, with newly acquired cour-
age, put his arms around her and drew
her to his breast. Then John was at
peace and Mary was perfectly happy.
The question had been asked and an
swered and she had fttingly blushed,
besides waving the privilege of leap
year.
