The Confederate Capital and Hoods
Texas Brigade

1eAaS DFlSauOst
The above is the title selected by
Mrs. A. V. Winkler, the historian
chosen by the Texas Brigade asso.
citation, for tie book now ready for
publication. The story of HooD' s
TEXAS BRIGADE, its marches, battles,
privations and trIumphs, is so close
" interwovan with that of the South
ern Capital, that the history of the
one would be incomplete without
the other. Mrs. Winkler, a native OF
Virginia and the wife of a member
of the Old Brigade, often at the
front with the command and at least
once under fire, has told the story
as only one whose heart was in the
work could tell it. There is no
strained effort at rhetoric or fowery
description, but the whole is written
in an easy, flowing style, with an
honest effort to state only facts.
The manuscript has been carefully
read by the undersigned, a commit
tee appointed by the Brigade asso-
citation, and has received our hearty
approval. 1t will make volume of
about two hundred and fifty or three
hundred pages, the price about three
dollors per copy. 1t now remains
for the survivors of the old brigade
to interest themselves in its publica-
ton. This can be done readily if
each survivor and the friends and
relatives of our dead comrades will
interest themselves in securing sub
scribers. Let every one go to work
and forward money OF lists to either
of the names given below. The work
will be published at Austin, Texas,
under the immediate supervision OF
chairman OF historical committee.
We are confident that we need only
the request to meet a prompt re-
Spouse from our friends and COM
rades throughout the state.

PARNELL's heart was once lost in
this country If one may believe
the Boston Globes correspondent,
he loved and sought in marriage a
Providence girl twenty years ago,
but her stern father, a millionaire,
by the way, would not approve of
the match, as the sutton was without
a calling. The Irishman's affection
was reciprocated and the separation
brought sorrow to two hearts.

dered why Cinderella wore glass slip
pers; he Q saw any one dance in
glass slippers, and he didn't believe any
one could dance in glass slippers. One
man suggested that it was a fairy tale.
Another man made every one tired by
talking of malleable glass. He remarked
that he once saw a Pittsburg Indy in a
glass gown. The manager, n distin-
guished Gallicist-he once went to school
with Tartarin at Tarascon-said she
never did wear glass slippers.
"You see" he explained, cinderella
was indebted to n translator's mistake
for her uncomfortable pumps, This de-
lightful extravaganza was originally
French, and the man who Englished it
didn't know his business. The French
words are 'pantoufles de vair-fur slip

and the English chump got 'em mixed

Mrs. Hutton gives this account Of some

she had left their dead bodies, and in
reference to what she then observed,

rounding the dead ones | determined
to watch their proceedings closely. 1 fol-
lowed four or five that started off from
the rest toward a hillock a short dis
lance off, in which was an ants nest,
This they entered, and in about five min
utes they r%eappeared followed by others.
All fell into rank, walked regularly and
slowly two by two, until they arrived at
the spot where lay the dead bodies of
the soldier ants. In a few minutes two
of the ants advanced and took up the
dead body of one of their comrades, then
two others, and SO on, till all were ready
to march. .
First walked two ants carrying a
body, then two without a burden, then
two others with another dead ant, and so
on until the line extended about forty
pairs; and the procession now moved
slowly onward, followed by an irregular
body of about 200 ants.-School and

That an extraordinary amount Of su-
perstition still exists in some of the ag-
ricultural counties, particularly in the
west of England, has been demonstrated
by circumstances which have come to
light in connection with the death of a
Taunton oracle, who was known
throughout Somerset, Devon and Dorset
as "Billy the Piper" He was for many
years looked upon MS the Wizard Of the
West" and n large bundle of letters
which were found in his house reveal to
an astonishing extent the credulity of
certain people in those parts.
Billy, who was seventy-six years of
age when he died, had lived in the same
house for forty years. He commenced
life by hawking pipes, but doubtless the
acquaintance he formed with country
folk while he was peregrinating with
the humble ''clays" opened his eyes to
their superstitious beliefs and induced
him to pose as n past master of witch
craft and fortune telling, And it was
not only simple villagers who were
reckoned among Billy's clients. Farm
ers and well-to-do people frequently con-
suited him-the former believing that
he could cast disease out of their cattle;
the latter regarding him as an infallible
aid in the discovery and punishment of
those who had done them wrong.-Cas-

to tris day the persecution Win which
George Carlisle followed this heroic
woman knew that the money her hus-
band brought her was d~issipated in a
fight he had not the manliness to abaa-
don And they also know the woman
was escorted by half the population Of

sacredly hers by the defense there of her
honor, and that she was there protected
by them against the ISLANDERS as well as
the assaults of her enemy until he went
at last-a tardy volunteer-into the
army. and fell with Heavens curse
upon him in the very first fight of his
life.
They know as well that the children Of
these families grew up together in love,
unmarried by he strife of parents, and
that between bold Fred Albright and
Madeline Carlisle there was a bond the
stronger for the stormy days of youth.
And closer thar David to Jonathan,
nearer than Pythias to Damon drew the
hearts and the lives of Fred and Wins

Colorado together, and found a city
where were barren rocks in war time.
They found out her what all Colorado
had known for years, that the Albright
vein was lost. No man ever had found it.
They knew he had told the truth. They
found the silver he had cached, they
followed his very footsteps down the
trail; but in the insanity which must
have come of weakness and excitement
he had buried his treasure too we'll.
One of the men followed the search,
spent a fortune and abandoned it. When
the boys came to Boulder three years
ago they easily secured all rights, and
began again the search the others had
found SO fatuous. Madeline, now for
years the wife of Fred Albright, was
left at home, smoothing the sunset road
of Mary's life in the very house where
George Carlisle had fallen wounded.
The boys worked together diligently
and confidently. They knew they would
find the 'lost vein" Others said, Hope
you will; we couldn't" They never left
the search for an hour, and never omitted
an act that would assist them. Day
after day, month after month, year after
year, they hoped and labored, turning
aside for no seductive smaller finds.
And at last they were rewarded. Right
under the house in which they had lived,
right down the center of a rock as
broad and bald as an ocean billow, they
found that rift; and it was filled with
silver. How far down it rum no one
a tell. How it may broaden or mar
row no one knows. But tons and tons
of the ore have already been taken out,
and every ounce of it is worth a dollar.
And it is sacred coin to them, for
every atom of it is hallowed by the blood
and tears and hopes of a hero.-Chicago

had had experience in cholera main
tailed that water should be withheld as
much as possible from the patients, and
that those who drank freely We're almost
sure to succumb to the terrible malady.
At the present time, however, it being
universally acknowledged that cholera

that promises to be popular is to insist
that the patients drink all the hot water

DRAGGED FROM HIS HORSE.
Daring CRptnre of a French General by
IA British Omoer at Waterloo.

Daring Capture of n French General by
n British omoer at Waterloo.
The only prisoner made by the Eng
fish reserve at Waterloo was a French
general whose capture was due to the
cool head and stout heart of a young
brigade major anxious for an adventure.
During the battle several regiments Of
cavalry and infantry were kept in re-
serve under a heavy fire from French
guns. Great was the havoc, and neither
men nor horses relished the passive atti-
tude 10 which they were condemned.
While a group Of young officers, in
front of the left wing of the reserve,
were discussing the situation, their at
tention was attracted to a French gen.
eral and his staff, all on horseback, who
were looking through their glasses at
the Englishmen. One of the group was
Captain Halkett, a young brigade major.
mounted on n thoroughbred. Suddenly
he exclaimed: "Iu lay any one five
pounds that | will bring that French
general over here dead or alive. Who'll
take the bet?" Done. done. doneF'
shouted several officers.
The captain examined the saddle
girths and his pistols. Then, shouting
NOplbl anu putting EIuAo ~ 40
horse, he dashed at a furious pace across
the plain between the British and French
lines. His comrades followed him with
their glasses. not speaking a word. The
Frenchmen opposite seemed puzzled.
Believing that the E~nglishman's horse
had bolted and that the rider had lost
control OF him. they opened their ranks
to let the runaway through.
Halkett steered his steed so as to Craze
the mounted general on the right side.
At the instant he put his arm around the
Frenchman's waist, lifted him bodily out
of the saddle and throwing him over his
own horses neck, turned sharp and made
for the English lines. When the gener-
ais staff realized the meaning Of the
bold rider they dashed after him, but he
had a good start, and lot n Frenchman
dared to fire for fear of killing tine gen
eral.
Half n squad of English dragons, see
ing Halkett chased by a dozen French
officers, charged them. They opened
their ranks TO let Halkett through, closed
them up again the moment he was in
the rear, and then forced the Frenchmen
to turn swiftly and seek shelter under
their own guns.
Amid the maddest cheering Halkett
stopped in front of the British lines, with
the general half dead, but securely
clasped in his strong arms. He jumped
from his horse, apologized to his prisoner
for the unceremonious way in which he
had been handled and in reply to his
congratulations of his comrades, said
simply:
praise my horse, not me-" The cap
tured general was treated with the ut
most courtesy and consideration.-New-
