II might have thought of that the
Major said, annoyed to think that the
miserable wretch was to escape his
righteous punishment
So Mr.. Dixon was marched back to his
| own house, with the rope still around
his neck and his hands tied behind his
back, together with the horses and
spoils of war, and the many wounded
men, who, though most of them ene-
mics, were treated with wonderful
tenderness by the rough, soldiers.
It was even as Dixon had said. The
men--one officer and five privates Of an
Iowa regiment-were found, gagged
and bound with cords drawn SO tightly
that their flesh was cut as with knife.
"We had to keep them quiet Or you
would have heard them,' Dixon said,
reading the stern inquiry of the Majors
looks.
'Unloose his bonds and let him go
before | break my word and brain him
where he stands" Hopkins cried, una
BILE to control his indignation.
Nor was the Major alone in his wrath,
for it was with the utmost difficulty
that the officers were able to restrain
their men while the trembling wretch
skunk from their sight.
When the rescued prisoners, whose
tongues had been SO cruelty tied by
whip-cord, were able TO speak, they
were of course asked a hundred q1les-
tions, and among them this:
''Do you know where Bragg is?''
"Yes," was the prompt reply. she is
off nortllwards with all the speed he can
to Louisville"
''Antl Buell. knows it not!'' Major Hop
kins declared, aghast at the significant
Importance Of the news.
So, leaving the enemys wounded to
the tender mercies of the citizens Of
Winstanley, and despatching their own
in baggage wagon with small es~
cort, they mounted their newly
qnireG steeds and hurried as fast as they
could back to Buel]'s army.

such as our Winstanley friends white
trash. " the Major rnusetl. II have often
felt surprise: at the epithet, but now
think it suits them down to the ground"

4 DANGEROUS INTRODUCE
TON.

There are fashions the following OF
which no sensible woman can under
stand. For some months now our eyes
have been offended by the long skirts
worn on our streets. A more filthy or
unhealthy fashion has never been intro
duced. Damp skirts become a minor
evil, hardly worth considering, beside
the awful danger of accommodating and
distributing the disease germs that
abound In the dirt of our streets Amaze
ment increases at the appalling ignor-
ance or indifference of the women who
make trailing dresses in the street fash
lonable. No mandate but the willing
ness of the individual wearer makes this
uncleanllness possible. Long dresses in
the street have not one advantage in
their favor. Skirts that clear the walk
are more economical, more healthful,
more graceful. No woman can be dig
nified who is compelled to make frantic
dashes to lift her dress skirt to escape
some suddenly discovered nastiness
which She wishes to avoid, and no
woman of clean habits will let her dress
skitS drag through the mud and filth oil
our streets. There Is only one way to
XIII this undesirable and undesired
fashion, and that is for each individual
woman to refuse to wear long skirts on
the streets. 1t Is incompreheusible that
at this day, when every woman of intel
llgence Is striving after health, when
she spends as much time to reduce
weight and superhuity in her underwear
aS she does in designing pretty costumes,
that she should be guilty OF offending by
this unslghtly, unsuitable, unhealthy
fashion of trailing dresses on our dirty
Streets
In Washington recently well-dressed
woman was crossing Pennsylvania
Avenue. 1t had rained the night be.
fore, and the pavement was covered
about an inch deep with liquid mud.
Evidently this woman had not worn a
trailing dress the length of time neces-
sary TO enable her to lift her dress auto
matically; she was in hurry and
walked quickly. Just before reaching
the opposite curb she remembered her
trailing skirt and grabbed at it frantic
ally; as She hf,ed IL the liquid mud 1t
had accumulated dipped from the skirt,
or rather the bunch vi goods at the back,
In little streams, suggesting the appear
ance OF steet-sweeper' broom as he
lifts 1t up. The wearer looked aghast,
hurriedly beckoned hanson, anu hur-
ried herself and her steet-sweepings out
of sight.
When a woman makes her clothes a
cause for shame and embarrassment, it
Is an evidence of weakness or lack OF in
telligence that should bo viewed with |
charity, as we view all social delinquent |
cies and excuse them because the
offenders know no better.

True knowledge.

Progress is the order of the day:
even sleepy old Egypt is bestirrIng
herself; light is entering the dark
Continent, and so the foot-tracks of
explorers must widen into broad
high ways, along which the wealth
that has been pent up for ages will
pour forth for the benefit of man
kind. Everywhere our old earth is
disclosing new treasures, and point
ing out TO US, Enthusiastically, that
there is room and plenty for all
that the grinding poverty, and the
struggle for bare life, are by no
means necessary-are, in fact, no
fault of hers. but are the conse-
quences of ignorance, and of that
meddling and muddling policy
which prevents the commerce of
the earth from flowing into it's
natural channels, and fulfilling its
appointed purpose of providing for
the wants of mankind. If ever we
live on this earth in state of true
contentment, we shall owe it to
what is called science; that is to
say, to the extension of true knowl-
edge, the knowledge which enables
us to admire, to understand and to
copy Gas was intendedl the regular
lty and the order which we see 60
ing on increasingly around US

Voice From q Fireman.

Mr.. EDITOR Appropriations
were made by the last Legislature
for the purpose of erecting a Cen
trail Fire Station and for much
needed repairs and additions to the
house of Engine Company No. 1.
AS a fireman l wish to know
what valid reason the Government
can furnish for delaying the latter
work? A new engine for said
company is now on the way, and
the present accommodation is total
ly inadequate for it's reception, not
to mention the want of stable room
for horses and gear.
The old Bell Tower is in a ruin
Gus condition, indeed it is positively
unsafe; and l am not over stating
the truth when I say that it is
liable to collapse at any moment.
This "mahope policy" is abso
lutely disgusting to all claiming to
be live men. Is it too much to hope
and expect that works for which
appropriations have been made by
our duly elected mobiles and repre-.
sentatives, (plenty of cash being
on handy, will be at once inaugur-
ated, and that the Minister of the
Interior may regain some of his
old time popularity by remember
ing that be is the peoples servant
and bound to carry out the peo-
pies wishes as outlined by the
Legislature? FIREMAN.

Secretary Tracy has proved to
be one of the most efficient depart
mental heads that any American
Administration has ever had. He
is splendid organizer, and he has
now announced his purpose to
sweep away the scandal that has
disgraced the conduct of our navy
yards. Hereafter, mechanics and
laborers are to be appointed on
the merit system, moral character
included, and not for political rea
sons. This will be a real reform of
large proportions, and will be
heartily applauded by the whole
country.
