Division, Sixth Corps. The brigade
consisted of the Fifth Wisconsin, Sixth
Maine, Forty-third New York and
Forty-ninth Pennsylvania, and on its
arrival on the battlefield was put into
position on part of the line which had
been occupied by part of the Pennsyl-
vania Reserve Corps. The enemy at
the time of our arrival were trying to
get possession of the high ground some
distance to the right of the little church,
situated near the Hagerstown turnpike.
After we had succeeded in repulsing
their advance. and during lull in the
infantry firing, our Chaplain, VIM. II.
Earnshaw, afterwards Chaplain q. s.
Army, discovered the dead body of
Captain James S. Colwell, of the
Seventh Pennsylvania Reserves, who
had been killed near where our
regiment Forty-ninth Pennsylvania
was engaged. Chaplain Earnshaw, be-
ing an old acquaintance of Captain Col
well, got the pioneers of our regiment
and had grave dug near the root of
o large oak tree. Just as prepara-
tions had been completed for placing
the body in the grave General Han
cock and staff came riding up, and
when he discovered what was being
done he dismounted and stood with
head uncovered, while the brave Chap
lain offered up a fervent prayer. ALL
this took place while the shells from
the enemy's guns went crashing
through the tfee-tops over our heads.
General Hancock, after making in
quiry as to who the dead man was and
where, he was from, mounted his horse
and rode away from the solemn scene.

somewhat, or they become exhausted
with hunger. It is atthis juncture thet
the wise sheep herder can make himself
useful by stepping in and forcing them
to do what they should. It is a good
practice TO throw some of the fodder out
into the field, and force the sheet to go
out to it and eat. They will not eat
enough to satisfy their hunger, and
other food should be given them in the
shelter of the shed, bat the change will
do them good--W. e. Farmer.

1HE FARM.
AdvantuEes Of Long stubbIe.

We always favor leaving the stubble
long in harvesting. The straw is worth
as much to be left on the field as pro-
lection for young clover as it is in the
barnyard. Most grain growers have
more straw than they know how to use
with profit. When snow comes, this
long stubble holds il evenly distributed
to a depth that will not readily thaw
away with one or two days of warm
weather. This removes one of the diff
culties in clover-growing in many
northern latitudes, where clover often
winter-kills nearly as badly as wheat.

Some kinds of evergreens that ma
turally thrive in swamps and low, wet
land become tender when transplanted
to dry, upland soil. 1t is not probable
that these trees thrive better with their
roots immersed in stagnant water. More
likely their roots from early habit run
too near the surface, and in dry soil this
freezes until no roots touch soil that is
not locked in ice. Mulch such ever

side from the trunk, and poor on one or
two barrels of water, letting it soak into

Veal sweet breads are best. They will
not keep long. Soak them at once in
cold water for about one hour; then par
boil them about fifteen minutesj in
salted, boiling water, after which put
them into cold water again for few
minutes. This will make them firm and

Angel Cake.

In making angel cake the whites of
the eggs should be beaten to q stiff,
white froth, then the sugar beaten grad
ually into them, and finally the -four,
and cream Of tartar should be added
and the mixture beaten thoroughly.
Now place in q very moderate oven and
bake slowly. Thorough beaten and
slow baking are what give fine, moist
texture. The cream of tartar gives the
cake that pearly whjteness, and neutraf-
izes the peculiar flavor of the white Of
the eggs.

THE BOWIE KNIFE.


440W ~ r00s1A "EaVVA-
HAD Its Origin.
John Sewcll, the grandfather OF the
writer. came to Texas with Devitt's
colony. and, being a gunsmith and
blacksmith. set up a shop at Gonzales
and was operating there in 1880. At
this time James Bowie was in Texas
prospecting for gold and silver in the
mountains west and northwest Of san
Antonio and often had desperate en-
counters with the hostile Indians who
infested those regions. In one Of these
conflicts Bowie stabbed an Indian. and,
the knife-blade CHANGING against a rib,
Bowie's hand slipped forward, iniicting
a wound upon himself in the hand. This
accident, | have been told, suggested
the idea Of a guard TO keep the hand
from slipping forward upon the blade in
making a hard thrust There were a
great many cypress trees along the mar
gin Of the Guadalupe river, and the
pioneers in the colonies often estab-
lishcd Single camps along the river TO
work this timber up.
On one occasion as Bowie and his men
were returning from a trip they stopped
at one Of these single camps to rest
and recruit their horses. and while so
doing Bowie whitfield from a single .
pattern OF the knife now in question. IL
Is amusing at this day and time to see
some OF the things now called Bowie
knives On arriving at Gonzales he
went To my grandfather's shop. the only
place then in west Texas where iron
and steel was worked. and asked him II
he could make one like il out OF steel.
The blacksmith at once went to work
and soon produced an exact counterpart
OF the pattern. which was in every way
satisfactory to Colonel Bowie. On pre-
senting the knife my grandfather asked
Bowie II he might give it . name. as il
was a peculiar knife. Being answered
in the affirmative. he said: .'Well. i will
call it the Bowie knife.r-Galvestop

Have we not noticed within the last

How shall we define it? A kind Of
brusquc a-udaciousness in conversation,
with a soupcon Of slangy chat. an afsec-
tation OF assuming to know more Of
what is what than their mothers ant
grandmothers were ever permitted or
supposed TO know. DO they not often

the sense in which 1t is alleged. and

to sigh over the misfortunes OF Clarissa

adventures OF Tom Jones and Sophia

young women affect 1t is rather a total
want Of sentiment that prevails In
former days the sex were won't to appeal
to men from their softer, gentler. weak

appear to aim at meeting men on their
