corps line, and returning TO his tent sent
word to Howard at 9:30 q. ID. to make
some changes in the arrangement of his
troops and strengthen his works in antici-
patton of an attack from the west. Gen.
Howard sent word to his chief at IL O'Clock
that he knew that the Confederates were
moving toward his right and that he was
preparing for an attack from the west.
There was in truth no end of warning On
Gen. Howard's line nethatsomething unusual
was afoot, and Devens' pickets and trench
guards were at their posts, ready, though
possibly overcon6dent, on account OF the
indifference displayed by their superiors.
Devens asked for re-enforcements, but
none were sent him
Between and 4 O'Clock, or about the
hour when Stonewalps leading regiments
reached the place where the attack was
to begin, DeFens' pickets on that very
spot, the west end of the Union hne, were
assailed with vigor. Union scouts imme-
diately passed out beyond the limits of tho
picket line and there came upon a strong
force of Confederate cavalry with their
horse batteries drawn up fer battle. All
of this was reported to Gen. Howard.
The Confederates, when ready to strike,
stood in three long lines Of battle, about
10000 men in each line. Their lines extended
north and south, nearly, and overlapped at
each end the short Union breastwork that
confronted them on the west end of Gen.
Devens' short line. Stonewsll sat upon
his horse at the head of the first line,
watch in hand, and gave the signal to the
leader to sound the charge. A bugle rang
ont, the Confederate sixirmishers started
through the dense underground, and for
three hours or more thereafter confusion
reigned all along the plank road from
Wi 1-"ness Church, half way to Hooker's
east / front at Tabernacle Church.
The little north and south section of De-
vens' breastwork was occupied by Cen Won
Gilsa's brigade. Gen. Doles' Confederate
brigade, leading the assault, was opposite
Won elisa, and as soon as it got to work it
found that the surprise was by no means
complete. 1t was received with heavy
musketry fire, besides canister and shell.
Even Won Gilsa's skirmishers attempted to

The Farmers Home Market.

It seems to me self-evident that pro
lection tends to shortens the distance be-
tween the farmer and the artisan or man.
ufacturer, hence to diminish the cost of
exchanging their respective products,
and thus to secure to the farmer not only
surer and steadier markets for his prod
uce, but an ampler recompense for his
labors. Such are the conclusions that
long ago made me a protectionist. Dis
tant markets are all but inevitably incon-
slant, uncertain markets. Europe has
deficient harvests one year and buys
grain of us quite freely, but next year
her harvests are bounteous, and she re-
quires very little more food than she
produces, no matter how freely we may
be buying of her fabrics. Hence our
wheat now sells very far below the prices
which ruled here when Europe had a
meagre harvest. A remote market vir-
tually restricts the farmer to two or
three great staples, while near markets
enable him to diversity his products and
thus increase the productive capacity of
the soil.-Horace Greeley.

the most Extravagant Manner and say

"If we only had Bird which could
Sing like that would Admire him from
Daylight to Dark"
'sThat's Pointer for me, Old Huck-
leberry," chuckled the Hen as she
Snatched another Potato-Bug, ''and
you'll hear something Drop before
long"
Next evening, as the Farmer and his
Wife sat on the Doorstep and hoped the
Nightingale would come again, the Hen
flew into Tree and made Heroic At
tempt to Marble as she had heard the
Bird do.
'sGood Lands? But what in Goshen
ails that ere HEMP exclaimed the Far
mer as he jumped up.
The Hen Posed anew and sent forth a
fresh clack, clack, clack.

and bringing out his Shotgun, he put an
end to her Life.

Boxing as a Sport.
[From Harper's Weekly. /

Boxing is precisely what you make it,
If you put gloves on couple of toughs
the result will be fight filled with slug
ging and gore; if gentlemen put on the
gloves, there will follow contest equal
ly as determined, with blows probably
stronger, but directed with judgment
and skill, and received in like manner.
The great difference between the slugger
and boxer is that the former stands stol-
idly awaiting his opportunity to deliver
Knockout blow, actuated with but the
one idea of rendering his opponent sense
less, and trusting to his tough hide to
Withstand blows. The boxer on the
other hand, is testing his skill with
fellow-clubman; his blows are clean
and strong; but he is expert enough to
avoid punishment, or, if not, his oppo-
nent is judicious in its delivery. What
holds good so far as boxing is concerned
is equally applicable to any other sport.
If foils are put into the hands of two of
the same class that monopolizes public
boxing, of what character will be the
exhibition? If they wrestle, will not
their coarse nature be evidenced? 1t is
not the sport, but the element that
If men put on the gloves for the sole
purpose of punching one another into
state of insensibility, why put on
gloves at all? The job can surely be
done much quicker with the bare fists.
Indeed, if the sole idea is to knock ones
opponent senseless, why waste time with
gloves or fist when stout stick certainly
would be much more effective? Why
not take the button off your foil in fenc-
ing, and settle your adversary with the
first thrust? Why not throttle your man
at once in wrestling, and have done with
it? 1t is well enough to pirate of chow
shall we refine amateur boxing?' The
sport is all right; it's the muckers that
monopolize it, and who will drag into
the mire any game they take up.
