WAR "REMINISCENCES.

Kind-Hearted Surgeon.

How Lieutenant Caruthers Was Saved by =
Kind-Hearted Surgeon.
Among the curious "reminiscences of
the late war brought into notice by the
visits of the veterans to the Gettysburg
battlefield is the following:
June IA, 1868, as General Milroy's
forces were retreating from Winches-
ter, Va, DIR. C. E. Goldsborough, then
surgeon in the Union army, picked up
young Lieutenant of the Eighteenth
Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, on
the field of battle. He had been ter
ribly wounded through the body, and
the doctor, after conveying him to a
place of safety, extracted the ball and
left him at the farmhouse of a
Mr.. Lewis. near Martinsburg. to die. as
he thought. As the doctor was cap
tured a few hours later and sent to
Libby prison, nobody knew what had
become of the young Lieutenant and he
was reported by his comrades as killed
in the battle and buried on the field
Funeral services were held and SER
mon preached in his native town of
Norwich.
But it seems that the Lieutenant had
not died. He had been found and
recognized by Major Henry Gilmore, of
the Confederate army, whom he had
befriended at one time when Gilmore
was a prisoner at Fort McHenry Gill
more had him carefully cared for, and
he slowly improved, being finally re-
captured during one of the Federal
raids up the valley He was brought
back into the Union lines at Harper's
Ferry, and when able returned home
among his friends, who had been
mourning him as dead.
The young Lieutenant was William
Caruthers, now postmaster at Norwich.
Conn, and recently he visited Gettys-
burg, in company with the Connecticut
veterans who participated in this bat
tie. Hearing that DR.. Goldsborough
resided at Hunterstown, two miles
from this place, he hired a team. and
there met for the first time since the
war the man who had carried him off
the field of battle at Winchester. -

FREE-TRADE SOPHISTRY.
The Difference Between Free-Trade ant
LIBERAL Trade Relations.

The Difference Between Free-Trade and
LIBERAL Trade Relations
Because the American Minister at
Mexico recently wrote letter to the
Treasury Department in favor of the
most liberal trade relations with Mex
ico'' on the part of our Government
the free-trade editor of the New York
Herald jumps to the conclusion that
the Minister referred to ravors free
trade with Mexico.
Free trade is very different thing
from liberal trade relations. For
instance, many earnest American pro-
tectionists favor the extension of our
trade relations with Canada, as well
as with Mexico. 1t is believed that
such reciprocity of interests would
inure to the benefit of our citizens, and
that is the primary object of the pro-
tective policy. If free trade would
bring about the same results as pro-
lection, the advocates of the protect
i've policy would naturally be free
traders.
The difficulty with those who favor
free trade is that they are swayed
largely by sentimental considerations.
and do not weigh the material aspects
of the matter. The free-trader says,
at is only fair that | should be per.
mitted to buy foreign goods if can
buy them cheaper than the domestic
product The protectionist says, 1T
is only just that you should buy at
home-no matter if it costs little
mo e-for it is your duty to give
American working-men the preference
every time, and when they prosper you
share in their prosperity" II more
liberal trade relations with Mexico on
our southern border and Canada on
the north would open better markets
for our manufacturers, and thus afford
increased employment for our work
ers, no one would be found in the Re-
publican party or among protection
Democrats to oppose such policy.
Neither of these countries stands in
the attitude of powerful rival of the
United States for business supremacy.
England and some ether foreign ma
tions, on the contrary, are ready with
the products of cheaper labor to seize
upon our markets the moment we open
the door to free trade.
No doubt these foreigners would
gladly enter upon the markets of Can
ada and Mexico if they could, and at
tempt to control them, but they have
been unable to do so in the face of the
duties levied upon foreign importa-
tions, and in the face of the competi-
ton of our own manufacturers to small
degree. Therefore. while protection
lists are willing to favor liberal trade
relations between the United States
and its weaker neighbors, they demon
strate by facts and figures the abso-
Lutte unwisdom of removing all protec-
tive barriers against such powerful
and aggressive rivals as England,
Germany and France. They are ag-
gressive and powerful simply because
they have the decided advantage of
much lower wages than we can offer,
or wish to offer, to the working-men
of the United States. Leslie's

FARM AND EIREslDE.

1t is noticeable that the season
gets somewhat of its complexion from
the farmer--the good farmer has few
bad seasons. and the poor farmer has
few good seasons.-American Agrical-
turist.
Nothing on farm is more valuable
than well-cured hay, and it should be
fed to stock instead of being sold. The
price usually obtained for hay in the
market is less than its real feeding
value.
Graham Cake: One cup of brown
sugar, one cup of sour cream. two eggs,
two cups of graham -four, one teaspoon
full of soda, little salt and cinnamon
if liked. If the cream is not sour use
less soda Do not stir too stiff.-De-
troit Free Press.
Colts should have the run of yard
or. better. small field for exercise
each day, although kept in warm quar-
tiers at night. A colt handled and fed
in this way will make a satisfactory
growth and remain in perfect health.
Country Gentleman.
Cutting down thistles that are just
bursting into bloom is labor thrown
away. The same work month previ-
Gus would have accomplished much to-
ward preventing a growth next year.
Now they are sown broadcast. A cut
in time saves more than nine in work
of this kind.
DO not wait until the ground shall
have been frozen over before putting
rough shoes on the horses. as they may
be injured should the ground become
slippery. Blankets should be procured
now, and the stalls put in order for
winter use by covering all cracks and
crevices.
Potato vines contain a large amount
of potash, and a good way is to leave
them evenly on the ground and pillow
them in. If dug by hand then bury
the tops as you dig. This is cheaper
and easier than to draw them in. COM
post them and draw them out again,
all of which adds nothing to their
value. as they quickly decay when
buried.
Some cream requires to be thinned
with milk or water before it is churned
in order to retard the separation and
prevent loss of butter fat in the butter
milk, and that other cream requires a
ripening process before going into the
churn, and also requires a larger
churn for the amount of butter obtain
able, and that without the ripening
and the large churn there will be a
loss of butter, and very likely serious
impairment of quality.-New England
Farmer.
Baked Veal Outlet: Remove all
skin from the edge, wash and wipe dry,
sprinkle with salt and pepper, place a
sheet of white paper in the bottom of a
shallow baking tin, butter it well, lay
the meat on it, place bits of butter on
top of the meat and very thin slices of
onion, place in a moderate oven, haste
frequently with butter, bake until a
nice brown; remove from the pan, place
on a hot platter, pour over it little
tomato sauce and garnish with sliced
lemon. -Philadelphia Press.

Light Horse Harry Lee.

"Light Horse Harry Lee was a

son of the celebrated Robert Morris,
the financier of the revolution, as he sat
in the lobby of his hotel a few nights
ago. The present generation does not
know that he was great spendthrift.

Lord Fairfax 10000 acres of land in
Virginia, and let General Lee into the
deal He had not long been in before
he wanted some ready cash to meet his
eXtravagant tastes. So the syndicate
made Lee an offer of 800. 900 for his
interest and he snapped it up and need
ed no urging either. The money was
duly paid over and in just twelve
months from that date he was as hard
up as ever. When Light Horse Harry

chances to make money thrown in his

PRINCE AND PAuPER.
Some Leaves From the Career of a Well

Some Leaves From the Career of a Well
known Spendthrift.
Prince Demetrius 1vanOvitsch Won
Chiwa died few days ago in the poor
house at Hamburg. He was once the
petted son of wealthy family. whose
ancestors were the undisputed rulers
of the province whence he came. After
receiving a military education he
founded house in Paris where. under
the Second Empire, he played an en-
viable and important role. The En-
press Eugene was among the numer-
Gus admirers of the handsome Prince,
who spent money as lavishly as the
Emperor himself. But the dissOlute
life which he began to lead soon
robbed him of his fortune and reduced
him to beggary. At first he was par
ticular as to the rank of those from
whom he borrowed and chose only
men who were his equals in birth.
The late King Ludwig of Bavaria
was honored oftener than any other
rules with ''lettcrs for loans," which
Invariably began: Most serene and
mighty cousin" The fattery was
successful in opening the purse of the
demented monarch during many years.
But this source of income was at last
cut off, and Prince Won Chiwa was
forced to borrow from his interiors.
giving as security the expectation of
large sum of money from the Emperor
of Russia The truthlessness of such
a statement was soon discovered, COM
polling the unfortunate nobleman to
resort to other means to secure a live
lihoOd. Ten years ago he first ap-
peared in the neighborhood of Ham
burg. The long white hair, the
brilliant eyes. the military bearing and
aristOcratic features still enabled him
to impose upon the innocent mistresses
of boarding-bouses. His imposition
became so frequent and his acquaint-
ance with the debtor prison walls so
intimate that he was made finally an
inmate of the poor-house to escape
further persecution. There he re-
manned until his death. Berlin Letter.

LITTLE PICKS ADVENTURES.

How Little COlored Fellow Attached
Himself to Uncle Sans Army.
When we of the cavalry were falling
back before Lee as he was headed for
Chantilly and Bull Run. a squadron of
US which had been detailed TO bring a
wounded officer away from a house
which would soon be in possession of
the advancing Confederates, found our
selves shut in front and rear. We
numbered about thirty men, and had a
twO-horse ambulance in which the
wounded man had been made as
comfortable as possible. We had, in
deed, advanced about a quarter of a
mile before we discovered the box we
were in. The Confederates who had
come in behind US were cavalry, and
owing to turn in the road and bit of
woods had not yet seen us The Lieu
tenant in command consulted with the
Major whom we were bringing away,
and explained the situation.
Prepare ME as well as you can for
the ride, give me a revolver, and then
form your men by fours and ride right
down on the rebs and cut your way
through" was the order of the Major
l was in the advance set of tours, and
the man on nay right was next to the
highway ditch. All of a sudden, just
as we were waiting the order to ad-
vance, a little negro boy, not over three
years old, and as black as the blacklist
tar ever made, appeared in the ditch
alongside of Parker. He seemed TO
have been hiding in the weeds and
think he must have fallen out of car
or got parted from the family as they
were hurrying into the Union lines be-
fore Lees advance. At any rate he
was there and alone, and as we saw
him, Parker said:
Good lands! but here's a niger
baby right under foot and all alone!
What shall we do with him."
At that moment we got the word to
go ahead. and Parker leaned over,
picked the child up and placed him in
front on the saddle. Two or three of
US called to him TO drop the boy. but he
didn't do it. As we moved forward
''Pick" was there and hanging on for
dear life. his eyes as white as raw
onions and every tooth plain TO be
counted. We were right on the rebels
before they saw US, and it was biff!
bang! slash! and we open lane and
went through. every horse on the keen
run and the wounded Major firing away
whenever he found ta-get for his bull
lets. When We finally got through
'.Pick' was with us and all right, and
he had seen his first battle of the war.
One would have said that he liked it.
for his grin was broader than before,
and he did not seem bit scared.
During the bloody days that followed
the little fellow was with a company
wagon, and / did not see him for a
week. Then Parker took him down to
Alexandria and left him with a colored
woman. but a few months later, being
made company commissary and having
the use of wagon, he brought Pick
back to the army, got tailor to make
him a suit of clothes, and then the bow
was a fixture with US He took
to army life, and every one Of
the company took to him, and
had any one misused s'Pick' it would
have gone hard with him. He was with
us TO the very last, and l saw him
