at the time, though with perhaps more
humOr than truth, that the Kentucklans
were requested to leave Maryland Heights
because they were trenchiHg on state
sovereignty, but that Col Blanton Dun
can resorted to the expedient OF leasing
the ground he wished to fight on from the
owner.
The necessity of discipline was not gem
orally recognized by our raw volunteers,
and the wisdom of selecting officers who
had received a military education was
quickly apparent. Instances of the verdi
ancy which prevailed were common.
When a picket guard was being detailed
for duty, one Of the men stoutly pro-
tested against any such arrangement,
because, as he remarked, Fwhat's the
use of gwine out thar ter keep everybody

The incident reminds me Of another
lieutenant, fresh from a country drill
ground, but sadly deficient in the tactics
of HaTdee and Scott. One morning hls
commanding officer ordered him to take
out detail of men and mount guard. ~
He didn It know exactly what to do, but
he bravely marched off with the detail
About an hour afterward the major found
him under q tree talking to some one in

These greenhorns, however, were good
fighters. Behind their inexperience was
too much pride of character TO permit
them TO run away. The fear of the con-
tempt of their,comrades, as well as the
disgrace at home, even il they had but
little pluck, made them reliable soldiers
from the first, and when they became in
ured to danger, they were staunch vet

when Women should Marry.

Probably the best time for the average
woman to marry would be any age be-
tween twenty -four and thirty-six. It is
not said that no woman should marry
earlier or later than any of these ages;
but youth and health and vigOF are Ordi-
uarily at their highest perfection between
these two ages .. Early marriages are
seldom desirable for girls, and that for
many reasons. The brain is immature ,.
the reason feeble, and the character Is
uniformed The consideration when

weight with her at twenty-fOur. At sew

are scenes which are rapidly passing from

their lives will always be fraught with
interest, and the personal features of the
struggle that have escaped the pen OF the
formal historian will always be themes OF
fascinating recital.
The news of the fall of Fort Sumpter,
in April, 1861, was received throughout
the South with joyful demonstrations.
The attack on Sumpter began on the
18TH. Tho fort was surrendered on the
18th, and evacuated on the l4th. That
night President Lincoln issued his procla-
nation calling for rs, 600 troops. The
manner in which it was received by the
several states illustrates the strong pre-
vailing sentiments Of the people. Rhode
Island replied by rendering the services
of 1000 infantry and battalion of artil-
Ierv. Massachusetts in two days gath

three regiments. The New York legisla-
ture appropriated IS 900, 900, ana Yer

On the other hand, Virginia responded

and eternity, by some trifling episode which in itself is scarcely worthy pass ing thought, but which leads to counties cost and consequences, as the marrow path leads to the tangled forest or the tiny brook to the limitless sea.
 When Noel Edwards found himsel, alone in his room, and began to brood over the great calamity that had befal len him, thousand fantastic fancies peopled his scorchlng brain.
 To find ones sight gradually growing dim, until the pleasure of vision is finally withdrawn, is loss so overwhelming that language fails to give it adequate expression; but to be stricken blind by single flash of fate, and have those we love shut out forever from our gaze, is a deprivation little less than death itself Noel's vivid imagination made him feel keenly the full extent of his great loss. He knew that he could never look upon the great city, the sky, the river, the gleaming furnaces, or the faces of his dear ones again, and this thought was more painful to him than the physical suffering caused by his injury.
 Although the room in which he lay was in darkness, he thought he could see, through his delirium, once again the glowing converter of the steel mill, with its whitening flame and myriads of gold. en stars, as they had appeared to him hundreds of times in reality at the con- verting room. This waking dream be- came so intensely vivid, that Noel start ed up from his pillow to give his orders to the woCkmen with which his busy brain had peopled the scene about the casting-pit. -. =
 But the hallucination was not more than minutes duration. Just as Noel was about to address his men, the entire interior of his imaginary converting. room seemed to be glowing with light and he saw, revealed in the midst of it. with startling vividness, human face olouded with hatred. It was the face of Clarence Carson, and Noel thought he saw him precipitating the disaster which had caused the explosion.
 Then came darkness and pain, and the stricken workman, exhausted by his wild vision, fell back on his pillow. He could not rest. His brain was on fire, One overmastering thought possessed him. however, and that was the guilt of Clar. ence Carson. He had only seen the young man do the deed in a dream, but Noel was now in such n franc of mind that dreams were rapidly becoming real ities, and he could not tell tho dividing line between the actual and the imaain. ary. This thought controlled him now. and made him it's slave. He wanted to meet Clarence Carson, and confront him with his crime.
 "Ay, he did it." Noel would mutter to himself; "but what motive could he have? never mind the motive; it was he

 doctor is permitted to enter here. We
 cannot afford to answer too many aues. tions."
 In his younger days Dick Dawson had studied medicine, and when occasion re- quired it, he could give some good ad- vice, but the desire to make money rap idly was his ruling passion, and of late ms thoughts were concentrated on his elaborate gambling-room, which yield ed him princely income. The "best men in town" were Dick Dawson's pa- irons. They dropped in frequently to fleece neighbor in Dicks quiet nook, and went away tieeced; but nobody knew of their loss, or of the manner in which they lost, except the initiated, and the secrets of Dicks lair were kept as sacred ly by it's habitues as though it were the lodge-room of some oath-bound organiza- tion. Those who were bitten by the "tiger" hid their wounds bravely. Every man who could be trusted had . key to Dicks "club-room," and entered 1t by way of drugstore, whose pro- prietor was liberafly rewarded for con- veniently keeping his mouth shut and his door open. In the rear of the build ing, the female, described as Dicks mother, warded off suspicion and un- welcome intruers from the swell club room.
 The presence of Edith was an annoy. ance, but Dame Dawson, and Dick felt fh0f fhav OnUht n fbo hoS Of
 Come, my dear," said the dame, talk ing the girl by the hand, '..and get those wet clothes changed"
 Edith could not comprehend the sit- nation, but the pleasant voice in which the woman addressed her won her con fdence, and she suffered herself to be led away.
 AS they were about to leave the room, there was a loud knock at the door. Dame Dawson started to open it, think ing it was Ned Newcomb and the doctor coming to see Edith, but Dick seized her by the wrist and in hoarse whisper said, "Don't stir step for your life."
 The knocking was repeated vigorously. followed by the words "Opcn this door!~ in sharp tone.
 Dick Dawson speedily put out the light, caught Edith ill his arms and ascending the rickety stairs, which creaked aloud at every step, called to the dame: "Fol- low mel"
 The next minute the door of the shantv came in with crash, and the voice of Ned Newomb was heard, in the dark. deserted room, calling Edith, Edith. Edith l" but Edith did not answer.
 The bewildered girl tried hard to re- spond to her name, but a, strong hand choked her utterance, and a voice whis. pered in her ear:

bright alluring visions of full Golfers

in this city, that displayed themselves SO
promisingly before him when he an
chore in the deserted shanty on Grand

machines swing creakingly from the rot
ting rafters, but they have no occupants.
The boisterous laughter of brazen girls,
the curses and lewd language of de-
graded youths have all been hushed.
The burly manager of the den struts up
and down with that same braggadocio
air which characterized his attitude
against THE JERSEY Cry NEWS when its
crusade against him was instituted little
over week ago, but he does not count
his patrons by the dozen as of old. THE
JERSEY CITY NEWS has scored another
success in the interest of the community,
and Watson and his vile machines will be
lost to Jersey City after a few days.
Watson attempted to operate his ma
