EVERY now and then fact is brought TO
the attention of the public which throws
very curious light upon the workings Of the
Postofice Department at Washington. Now
it would be thought that even the Postotfice
Department would prefer railroad 10 q
stage line as a vehicle of transportation for
the mails, but this does not seem to be a.
WAYS the case. There is line of railway
between Roanoke and Winston-Selem in
North Carolina extending distance OF III
miles. This is the Roanoke and Southern
railroad and it has been in operation six
months. There are two passenger trains
each day either way between the two ter
uinal points of the line. These terminal
points have population of forty thousand
people and there are several towns of i'm
portance on the road, not to mention the
very large number of inhabitants in the
great section of country which is tributary
to the Roanoke and Southern. Would 1t
not be expected that the Postoffice De-
partment would give the mail contract to
the railway? This 1t has recently refused
to do. and the mail bags continue to be
transported between Roanoke and Winston
Salem by stage simply because the railway
Company is properly unwilling to transport
the mails for the beggsrly sum which af-
fords stage line margin of profit. The
consequence is that Roanoke merchants
ship their goods to Winston-Salem and
Winston-Salem merchants ship their goods
to Roanoke. and they reach their respective
distances several days before the letters,
which should properly precede the goods,
arrive.

THs white citizen Of Huntersville. near
Norfolk. who on Tuesday attempted, on his
own account and without the assistance of
his neighbors, to hang a negro who had
robbed him must have been a very unsoci
able and uncompanionable fellow. To have
very private and select lynchng. in which
no one was to participate but himself, was
an act Of selfish exclusiyeness that was only
worthy Of the seyerest censure.

troll of Mrs. Thompson. of England. who
gives lessons three times a week at the Re-

Iowa Crops.

The Iowa Crop Bulletin says that an
other cold, wet weekmust be added to
the record of this unpropitious season.
The average daily temperature was ten
degrees below the normal and the rain
fall generally was in excess, ranging
from one to three inches. There were
not more than twelve hours sunshine
on the average during the week. AS a
result the crop situation is becoming
serious. In a considerable portion of
the state very little plowing has been
done and bare beginning has been
made on corn in the most favored lC-
calities. Farmers are idly waiting till
the clouds roll away. In the western
and southern districts, where the rain
fall has been the heaviest, the arabic
bottom lands are under water and the
uplands sOggy with moisture. Oats
and other small grain on well drained
fields are doing fairly well, but on low
lands are generally drowned out, and
even with the most favorable condition
in the future there is no immediate
danger of overs tocking the markets
with.cereal products in Iowa this year.
Grass is doing fairly well.
The weekly weather bulletins Of
Michigan and Indiana show the same
state of affairs as that in Iowa. Gold,
wet weather delays farm work. Except
on low land, however, the crops are in
good condition and bright, warm
weather would bring them forward
rapidly.

The commander, Maj Jones, got to.

starting point Describing the experience
of the Twenty-sixth during the charge he
said: ''When we had crossed about half the
intervening space the enemy opened upon
US tremendous shower of grape and can
iSter, but on we dashed. When we had
gotten within about 200 yards of the enc
my's works we commenced firing, but still
advancing. The storm of lead which now
met US is beyond description. Grape and
canister, iEtermingled with mines The
smoke was dense, and at times | could
scarcely distinguish my own men from
Pickett's. On we pushed, and were now
right upon the enemy's works when we
received a murderous fire upon Our left
flank. | looked to see where it came from
and lol we were completely fianked upon
our left, not only by infantry, but by ar
tillery.
''At the very moment | thought victory
ours, ! saw it snatched from our hands.
With no support on the left asked myself
what should we do. | had only sixty men
left in my regiment and that small mum
ber was diminishing every moment. The
order came from the right to fall back.
We did so at the same time with Pickett.
The day was lost" By way of apology for
retreating from the angle he said. with
our thinned ranks in such position il
would have been folly to stand against
such odds"
There were 2l6 in the band when it start
ed to climb Cemetery Ridge, and that
night 50 answered to roll call, many OF
them wounded. In one company that mus
tered 81 on July |, only the orderly ser
geant was left, and he wore a bullethole
in each leg. In another company a ser
geant and men were left, every last man
of the absent being killed or wounded. So
it was throughout the regiment When
the official count was made So were known
to have been killed outright, 502 wounded
and l20 were missing. All of the missing
were in Pickett's charge, and many of
them should be added to the killed and
wounded
Three months after Gettysburg, the
Twenty sixth lost 80 killed and wounded
| in charge at Bristol Station, Va, but in
spite of its many disasters kept the field to
| the end and was among the elect found

MEMORIAL DAY.


Reverse arms, comrades! and to martial music
sweet,
And the solemn tap, tap. of the low mum sd
drum,
Well form In line OF march to the silent retreat
Where. for their last long rest, our brothers
have come.
Let our own precious flag they suffered long TO
save,
And dying, left to US as an heirloom in trust,
wave
Ger every hallOwed spot where repOseth their
dust.
Wen gather sweetest tlSwers wet with tear
drops Of dew,
And marshal little children in their innocence
so fair,
And teach their tiny hands these emblems TO
Ger the beds OF the heroes so long resting
there.
And tell them that for freedom their lives were
laid down,
In manhood's hopeful mOrnIDg-our Joy and
our pride;
And though "only private" without fame or
renOwn,
Not In vain did they live nor in vain have they
died.
But rest on. brave comrades! in sweet, lasting
peace;
While it is ours still to dc. to brave and to dare
When "taps" have been sounded, then we'll get
release,
And join the great army In camp over there.

MET SCATHING FIRE FROM THE ENEMY.
battery was posted, covering the interval
between ROwley's men and the Iron Bri-
gade." Whenever the ground was clear,
this battery showered the Carolinians with
grape. Eleven color bearers were shot
down one after another, during the death
tussle with Rowley and Meredith. Col.
H. X. Burgwin, a boy of twenty-five. stuck
by the flag until he was bored through
both lungs, through the neck, and the
mouth. He fell at last and Lieut. Col.
John 4. Lane took his place by the colors,
and he was soon cut down with three
wounds.
To say that the slaughter was enormous
on that field is to speak in played out
terms. Battle historians formerly thought
it worth while to go into enthusiasm when
ranks were decimated. On the field
write about scores of Union regiments lost
60 to 20 per cent. killed and wounded. That
means 8 or out of every 10 shot down.
The Twenty-fourth Michigan, Of the Irou
brigade, fought part of the time against
these Carolinians, and its loss that day
was the highest in the Union army.
The One Hundred and Fifty-first Penn
sylyania, also opposed to the Carolinians,
lost nearly 20 per cent. of its men killed and
wounded. Gen. Heth reported that at the
point where the Twenty-sixth engaged the
second Union line, the flanks of Rowley's
aud Meredith's brigades, the Union dead
marked the line of battle with the accuracy
of line on dress parade" 1t was in doing
this execution that the Carolinians fired
away all their bullets and took to rifiing
the boxes of the dead for more. And il
got as good as it gave. One of the wound
ed of Rowley's brigade. who lay on the field
when the Carolinians passed on in pursuit
OF the retreating Union columns, said that
they didn't charge in line of battle. but ia
squads, SO hot was the Union fire. The
Twenty-sixth showed no line OF battle
when 1t finally advanced over the field it
had won, because there were only ten iso.
lated squads where formerly the ten mag
nificent companies had been. Over 900 OF
the SO men had caught hot bullet apiece
and some Of them two or three. The roll
call that evening showed exactly 2l6 men
unhurt.

A splendid way to improve the memory
is to begin by treating it as if it were all
other person, and then charging it. upon
penalty Of severe upbraiding, to keep
until wanted the information, fact, date,
name or whatever is to be remembered
By this course You uncOnsciOuSly do two
things-you sort ont things worth while to
know, and you impress them upon the
memory in such a way as to cause it to
grasp and keep them
The latter is Il most important thing to
do. Half of ones fOrgetfulness comes from
failure to properly grasp what it is that you
are to remember.-Harper's Young People.
