Soldiers Budget.
A Cavalry Fight.

The first and only open field hand-to-
hand cavalry fight / ever saw where
both forces charged simultaneously
was at Middleburg, Tenn, the Second
Missouri Confederate Cavalry and Sec
ond Illinois Federal Cavalry leading
the opposing forces. General Arm
strong formed his brigade on the south
side of cotton field; the federals on
the north side. The fences were
thrown down and the two regiments
aforementioned were preparing for
action, when Captain Rock Champion,
with squad of Kelly's celebrated
company of st. Louis, made a brave,
but probably rash charge. AS a matter
OF course, Colonel McCulloch then or
dered the regiment into the charge, the
tederals doing the same. Captain
Champion, however, and some of his
devoted friends never reached the heat
of action, but were killed on the outset.
If l mistake not, the body of John
Brun was found lying across that of his
captain. The two regiments met in
the middle of the field, and right GAL
liant was the contest for few minutes.
Shot-guns and horse-pistols on the one
side, against Sharp's rifles and Colts
army-pistols on the other side, at short
range first; then sabers made lively
ARRAY. Colonel Hogg of the Second
Illinois was killed, which demoraized
the enemy, and they fell back on their
reserve, composed of infantry. Quite
a number of the enemy, remember,
had charged through our line, and
when they discovered the retreat of
their friends made dash back. Some
succeeded, others were either killed or
wounded and captured. The writer re-
members that in this dash, having no
saber, shotgun and horse pistol both
empty, he was charged upon by
mounted federal, but, making asrapid
move to one side, escaped, and so did
the federal. AS our colonel was usually
at the front when there was danger,
this was no exception. He was beset
by several of the enemy, and was about
to be overcome, when Tom Turner, a
gallant private, dashed to his aid and
rescue, thereby winning promotion,
not coming off without honorable
wounds, however This was the end
of the fight, as the main forces were
not brought into action. We withdrew
without accomplishing any good result,
but with the loss of brave captain,
with number of good men, and the
breaking up of his small company and
distributing the members among the
other companies. Captain Lippett,
now of st. Louis, if living, retained the
larger portion of them. AS Captain
Champion led in this double charge,
the only one ever saw, it may be
well enough to mention in this sketch
that the members of the company,
mostly Irishmen, were the heroes of
many daring deed during the war

Russian Military Discipline.

1t is a curious fact in connection
with the Russian army that while it
had often met defeat, it was never
routed; though beaten and driven from
the field, it never became a panic
stricken mob. This conference during
defeat was due to its splendid dis
cipline and rigid obedience to orders,
which were paramount to all other con-
siderations. A Russian force was NOV
ing to the attack of position that was
impregnable. A superior officer asked
the commander where he was going.
To attack the position in 'front.'" he
answered. "Butit is folly-madness :"
81 know it, but l have my orders"
"Oh, you have orders; move on thenw
the officer coolly said. This incident
takes a good deal of what has always
been regarded as exaggeration out of
the story that is told of a Russian
army surgeon on his professional round.
On entering a ward the officer in
charge gives the command, Atten-
ton" when each inmate at once takes
the position of a soldier. Tongues
out!" is the next order, followed by
the instant projection of that member.
The surgeon, accompanied by an at
tendant, then proceeds along the line,
examining each tongue and giving di-
rections as to treatment. When the in
spection is over and the medical man
takes his departure the command
Tongues in ~ releases the line from
its unpleasant and ludicrous position,
and " In place rest allows the men to
resume their cots. And yet military
writers admit that the soldier who
thinks always gets away with the hui
man machine in battle .-Erchdnge.

The Flag that Tripped Up Booth.

a handsome mahogany case contain
ing a silk flag with gold bullion fringe
occupies nearly all the available space
of the wall in the southern part of the
room of Captain Cobaugh at the treas
ury department. Every visitor to the
department is shown the flag, and atten-
ton is generally invited to tear in one
of its stripes. The flag formerly be-
longed to the Treasury Guards, vol
unteer organization formed during the
war, for emergencies that might arise
at the capital of the nation. After the
fall of Richmond, and the night that
President Lincoln went to Ford's thea
ter, the flag, which was then attached
to stout rosewood flagstaff, was bor-
rowed by John T. Ford for decorative
use about the box occupied by the presi-
dent. When the assassin fired the shot
whose echo was heard throughout the
civilized world he leaped from the box,
and in doing so caught the rowel of his
spur in the silken folds of the starry
banner protruding from the presidents
box. That slip probably cost Booth
his life, for the flag tripped him and
caused the broken leg, which impeded
him in his efforts to escape and rem
dered him an easy victim for Sergeant
Boston Corbett's rhe-ball. Suisse
quently the flag was returned to the
treasury department, and during the
few days that President Johnson had
his office in the department the flag was
in corner of the apartment. 1t was
removed, however, by Captain Co
baugh to its present resting-place, and
the staff was made into three canes and
presented to officials of the treasury
department. Philadelphia NetoS.

MONTANA, OREGON AND
WASHINGTON.

The Northern Pacific Railroad passing through
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and
Washington was the first line to bring the region
occupied by these states into communication with
the east Its main line and branches penetrate all
sections of these states, reaching nine-tenths of
the chief cities Ii is the short line TO Helena and
Butte, Mont, Spokane Falls Tacoma and Seattle
Wash, and Portland, Ore, and the only line run
ming through train service from the east through
the states of Montana and Washington. Pullman
Sleepers and furnished Tourist Sleeping Cars are
run via the Wisconsin Central and Northern
Pacific, and Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars via
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and and Northern
Pacific, from Chicago through TO the Pacific Coast
without change. This is the Dining Car and
Yellowstone Park route.
The large travel on the Northern Pacific line ne
cessitated the Inauguration in June 1890 OF
second through train 10 the Pacific Coast, thus
enabling this road TO offer the public the advantage
of two through trains daily to Montana and points
in the Pacific Northwest carrying complete service
of sleeping cars, DINING cars and regular day
coaches. The train leaving St. Paul in the morn
ing runs via the recently completed Air Line of
the Northern Pacific through Butte, Mont max
ing this the shortest line to the latter point by
miles.
Colonists for Washington, Oregon and British
Columbia points should take no other line than
the Northern Pacific. as by this line only, can all
portions oil the state of Washington be seen.
Stopovers are allowed second class tickets
at Spokane Falls and all points west. enabling
settlers to inspect the country without extra
expense.

They Haven't Forgotten winans.

The Bangor AdUdnce and Reflector,
Comrade Russell's paper, of the 18th
inst, contains the following: The men
who went TO the front in 81 did not
stop to ask themselves whether they
were democrats or republicans. They
knew their country was in danger and
every political question was merged in
TO one issue, union or disunion." They
expected those left behind would back
them by every means in their power
and they had the right to expect this.
AS rule, all over this northland they
did receive substantial aid, sympathy
and support, but there were few, even
some who were placed in positions of
honor and trust, who not only withheld
that sympathy and support, but did all
they could to discourage others from
going to the assistance of those whose
ranks were daily thinned by death and
disease. But for all this thousands
answered the call of Father Abraham"
and joined the boys in blue, keeping
step to the grand music of the union.
Among those who withheld that sup
port so dear to those who were fighting
for God, Home and Native Land, was
Hon. +. b. Winans, then member of
the Michigan legislature, and who is
now seeking the suffrages of those he
so grossly misused and insulted when
he recorded his vote against the prose
cution of the war and in favor of com
promise with traitors in arms, and later
saying that soldier temporarily alb
sent fighting his country's battles should
be deprived of his vote. If Mr. Win
ans thinks the veterans haye forgotten
those days he will find himself sadly
mistaken. They know that he is the
same man, only the conditions have
changed. They have not forgotten the
