She described the succeed ing events to the first neighbor woman who reached her side as follows: "The in stant heard the step knew it was John As he reached the head of the stairs turned toward the door and tried to rise and meet him, but I was too faint, and be- sides there was something in his face that drove all the blood from my heart. He was dressed in his uniform and was carry ing big sword in his hand.
 "He stopped in the middle of the room and saw uRder his cap, which was pulled back, broad bandage stained with blood around his forehead. Suddenly he waved his sword and saw an awful look, such as had never seen before come into my boys eyes; he waved his sword three times, looking backward over his shoulder as he did so. saw the sword fall from his grasp. but it made no noise on the floor; he reached both hands to me, and the fierce expression died out of his eyes as he cried out, oh, mother,' and then before I could say a word he was gone"

He WAS struck by spent ball upon the forehead early in the day but tying handkerchief around his forehead he remained in the fight. All the officers in his company had been killed or wound ed, and he was leading his company with the sword of a dead Confederate in his hand when he was hit and instantly killed by second bullet.

This heat and crimson color increases rapidly as the atmosphere grows heavier, until the rain begins to fall, when, according to it's descent, the rock glows and becomes lighter in hue.

A Plea for Private Schools.

Plea for Private Schools. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The subject of education seems to be the topic of the day. Methods are dis cussed and ideas are freely interchanged. The aim seems to be, to determine the best method of fitting our children for their life work.
 Life work should mean building for eternity'-a work confined to no special trade or profession.
 Public schools are what their name indi- cate-public in every sense of the word, hence, are blessing to our country, but we hear little of private schools.
 We fear many parents make little effort to acquaint themselves with them. They appreciate chiefly, the fact that it costs money to send child to the private school, while the public school asks no tuition fee. But the cost in other respects to the child is considered by very few.
 Parents of wealth avail themselves of free tuition as eagerly as the poorer class es. If any are excluded from crowded rooms, it is not the rich.
 The parent seldom inquires: "How will the influences of this school affect the character of my childg' She may learn geography and arithmetic; she may learn mechanically to obey and march ''in line;;" she may memorize the lesson correctly and get the Thigh mark" and 'promo- tion." Does this satisfy the parents
 With the study of geography and arith- metic, etc., should there not be awakened a spirit of inquiry and thought, which calls for encouragement and response from the teacher, thus broadening the intelligence of the child and awakening constantly new impulses in every directionl
 Is mechanical obedience, enforced by fear or command, developing the right principle of conduct?
 On the contrary, is not Christian prin ciple. as explained and exemplifed by the teacher and implanted in the heart of the pupil, a more valuable scquisitions
 To sum up, is not the training and evo- lution of character. both intellectual and moral, the true educations Can this be most favorably accomplished in the crowded classes and limited time of the public school!
 Where does the child most freely exhibit it's individual faults, mental and moral, than in the shcool room, and who is better qualified to restrain or correct the evil and encourage the good than the earnest, judi cious Christian teacher!
 It is now generally conceded that the Bible should be text book in our schools. Is it taught in the public schools! In some private schools its systematic study is 8 part of each days program.
 One writer says: "We parents and teach CTS sit at the fountains of character and direct it's course for evil or for good. What need have we to draw from the fount of eternal wisdom in order that our teach ing may be just and true!"
 Our injunction to the child must ever be formula from our own ives-it is the daily life that influences even more than the formula. x. Y. z.

have begun to appear. At a recent drill of the second Uhlan regiment of the guards between the Heiigensee and Nieder Neu- endorf scores of horses swam the Havel without the aid of halters or guides. All except nine or ten appeared to have lost completely their innate fear of water, and plunged into the river without being urged. The few timid horses were guided across the river by means of halters in the hands of men who preceded them in rowboats. Not few soldiers whose horses took to the water without hesitation threw off their clothes and swam after them.
 New uses for the beautiful metal aluminium are being fast found. The latest is that it is an ideal substance for the sounding boards of musical instru- ments, being decidedly and noticeably free from those over-tones which make what is known as metallic sound and having also an elasticity which gives it 8 sympathetic vibration of remarkable purity and tonic range" Prof. Springer of Boston read paper at Washington recently before the American Society for the Advancement of Science, in which he declared that aluminium would be superior to all other substances for mus ical sounding boards and would possess the advantage of practical indestructibil- ity over wood. And in that connection it is said that piano with an aluminium sounding board is among the probabilities of the near future in Boston.

Rural Philfstinism.

We hear great deal said of the Philis- tines who impede the progress of the mo- blest forms of art, of music, of literature. But there are minor Philistines who do their proportion of damage in their own small way-Philistines, withal, who have heard the title bestowed only up- on those unpleasant tribes who were al ways striving to make things disagreeable for the ancient Hebrews.
 So long as these people confine the harm they do to the inside of their own homes they may be their own worst enemies, but they injure no one else. But will no Sam son arise who will decimate their ranks be- fore they are allowed to become the per verters of public tastei Listen to the hs- VOC they have recently wrought in rural locality:
 In @ certain pretty village stands little church, dating back towards the middle of the last century. With its thick brick walls, its high narrow windows, its old fashioned steeple, it is an excellent exam pie of colonial church architecture. The in terior of the building was formerly no more modern than the exterior. On either side of the nave, by the wall, were ranged squarepews of the olden time, owned by the families of wealth and position in the par ish. The ranks and file of the middle block of seats were narrow and uncomfortable to degree that rendered 8 change neces- sary for the sake of those of the congrega- ton who wished to sleep restfully through the service. A subscription list was start ed, and an architect consulted, who de- clared it possible to retain the square pews and to introduced other more roomy seats without impairing the colonial character of the building.
 Great was the disgust of the Philistine element. Their money had been sub scribed for modern pews, and would be withdrawn if those hideous old seats were allowed to remain. As usual, Philistinism conquered. A .more advanced" architect was chosen, the interior of the building was remodelled, and the progressive peo- pie" (self styled) were happy.

AN IDEA OF WTHE PEOPLE.o

AN ADGtA UT E 1 Eok A
 The peoples party is ''slashing around" in several of the States. The Massachu setts "people" indorse the action of the Cincinnati conference and add some blanks to the Cincinnati platform. They demand the issue of a sufficient quantity of treasury notes to do the business of the country on a cash basis, as does the Gin cinnati platform. But they depart from the Cincinnati idea by proposing that these notes ''be kept at par by being in- creased or decreased in volume in propor- ton to the population and the average market price of a given number of com modities." This seems to be the idea of @ price scale standard of value with modi fcation and considerable complication.
 It would be we'll enough, if it were pos sible, so to regulate the volume of circula- ton as to maintain the general average of prices at about the same level. The Chi cago Herald pertinently says: So far the Massachusetts third party men are not only rational but scientific. But that they are so only by accident appears from their talk of regulating circulation on the basis of population, as well as on the basis of & tabular standard, and from their talk of sufficient quantity of treasury notes to transact the business of the country on a cash basis. There is nothing scientific about either of these things. There is no fixed relation between the number of peo- pie in the country and the quantity of money required to keep prices at certain level; and the business of the country will never be conducted on cash basis so long as there are capable business men who have not as much capital as they need, or so long as there is economy in doing busi- ness largely on credit basis.
 True enough. The "people" are putting forth just now some very ignorant and foolish notions. It is to be hoped that there are enough other people to keep these notions where they belong.

A GOOD WORD ron CHINATOWN. The Impressions One American wo-

The Impressions One American Wo-
 man Brought Away.
 tFrom Kate Fields washingtonl
 AS woman hating dirt and degradation, ought to shirk from the contemplation of Chinatown more quickly than ex-Senator Blair; yet went all through it, and was most agreeable disappointed. I had been told such stories of its filth and horror as to array myself in an old riding habit and top boots to be as little contaminated as possible, and in order to throw away this wearing apparel on returning home.
 With an anti-Chinese editor on one side and a detective an the other, investiga- ted the Course" and found it so much cleaner, so much more orderly, so much better in every possible respect than the French quarter near by and the Mexican quarter farther away, as to astound me. Fer worse are the slums of London and New York-yet nobody denounces them in congresst My attire was ridiculous under the circumstances; I've felt ever since that owed Chinatown an apology which I now take great pleasurein making.
 The San Francisco editor and detective did not like the conclusions at which I ar rived unassisted by any eyes and nose but my own. heard afterward that I was''un- der the influence of Consul Bee. who rep resents the Chinese in California. hope those who know me give me credit for do ing my own thinking. Nobody "tamper- ed" with me, and, what is more. the able superintendent of the Illinois state board of charities, who visited California by re- quest while was there, to give its citizens the benefit of his advice, compared notes with me about Chinatown and we agreed unanimously. The opinion of the Rev. Mir. Wines of Springfield, H., carries weight wherever it is known.
 The one picturesque quarter of San Francisco is Chinatown. During my resi- dence at the Golden Gate it was my favor ite resort, and never did see Chinaman who was not sedulously minding his own business. He had no time to mind mine. I visited Chinese families in company with a female physician whose patients they were; from her lips I heard none put pleas ant stories.
 Whether the Chinese are desirable immi- grants or not, there is no necessity to lie about an interesting, highly intelligent, in dustrious, patient, long suffering and clean ly people. That they don't vote is bless ing. It would be greater if the scum of Europe, poured into our Atlantic ports, were also prevented from prostituting a suffrage of whose true import they have no conception.
