The Story of n Wounded Union Soldiers
sympathctio Act

Sympathetic Act
Mrs. Ora Langhorne, of Lynch
burg, Va, writes 10 The Boston Trans
cript TO reply to the confessions that
have been made by lady correspond
ents of that journal that they cannot
feel that any northern aid should go to
southern soldiers. In deploring the still
existing bitterness of members of her
W sex which mars the full and
frank reconciliation between north
and south, she tells the following
story:
"a number of Massachusetts, sol
diers, wounded in tho battle of New
Market were left in my native village
in the Shenandoah valley. A few days
before. the Confederate authorities.

by the approaching Federals, had re-

was carried TO my fathers house,
and though every effort was made to
save him he died in n few days. AT
my fnther's request DR.. Allen, the
surgeon of the Thirty-fourth Massa-
chusctts regiment, left in charge Of
the wounded Federals, visited Mr..
Woody Mt our house and paid him
every possible attention. In my daily
visits 10 the Federal hospital, which
was ncar us, many kindly inquiries
were always made for tho wounded
stranger within orr gates One
morning | told the Federal soldiers
that our guest was dead. and many
regrets and much sympathy for his
family were expressed.
"a soldier, named Adams / believe,
who sat on the floor nursing his
wounded foot, said TO me gently: i
am n marble cutter by trade, and If
you will give me IA slab OF hard wood
will carve Lieut.. Woodly's name on
il so that his family can find his grave
after tho war is over One OF the
walnut boards used TO mark the sol
diers' graves was sent TO the hospital
II tho wounded Federal forgot his
own pain in carving in clear type

ment, with tho words, He giveth His

the spot.
4 real-estate transa. ton resulted yes
terday afternoon in resort to fisticuffs
that proved highly interesting both to
t. e celebran.s and spectators. The scene
was the real-estate office at the corner Of
Spring and Franklin streets, and the
disputsnts Messrs. Norton and Frank
Hazsrd, two well-known land operators
about town. According 10 Mr.. Norton's
g, atement, he had found an individual
h 4iling from Texas who desired to ex-
change his holding in the Lone Star
State. Now it happened that MIR. Frank
Hazard had on his books just the sort of
prorertv that the Texan was after, SO
Mr., Norton made an appointment with
his customer for latef on in the day,
and then quickly hied himself to
his confrere's Office and outlined the sit
uation. Mr.. Hazard was delighted at
the prospect of good customer, and at
once made arrangements with Mr.. Nor
ton for the deal. 1t was agreed that, as
each one was about equally represented
in the transaction, it would be proper to
share and share alike in the profits, SO a
contract to that effect was drawn up and
signed by the two brokers. The Texan
happened to pass by about that time and,
in a burst of confidence Norton pointed
out the customer to Hazard, who men
tally took in all the bearings OF the
stranger. Mr.. Norton met his in
tended patron according to appoint
ment, but on Offering to take
him to where the affair could be settled,
10 his surprise was informed by the
Texan that the deal had been made. The
land-trader said that Mr.. Hazard had
met him on the street and had told him
that the matter was in his hands, so he
went to his Office and made the transfer.
Mr.. Merton thought this proceeding
rather strange on the part of his partner
pro tenn, and at once went in search of
that individual. The two men met in
Spring-Fra street office, and ac-
cording to Mort IN, Hazard refused to
give him his percentage OF the profits
accruing on the deal in spite of the con-
tract that had been made. Norton at
once got in that condition when he "could
drink hot blood" and promptly jumped on
Hazard, who naturally made an attempt
at resistance. The result was lively
scrimmage productive of bruises, blood
and torn garments, i'll which Norton,
though the lighter man, appeared to
have the advantage. 1t terminated in
the sudden exit of Hazard from a side
door, leaving Norton master of the field
and the center of an inquisitive thropg.
Attempts by HERALD man to get Mr..
Hazards side of the story were foiled, by
the fact that the Mayors namesake was
not to be found
