An Exciting Struggle with q stormy
Sea.
The author of "A Cruise in an Opium
Clipper" entcrtains his readers with q
surf-boat adventure in which he par
ticipated off the coast of Formosa,
where it had become necessary to make
a landing in a new and dangerous
place. Another mar - Nealance and
himself were to accompany the captain,
and take what soundings they could as
they went through the surf. One end
of a long, light manila line was passed
into the surf boat and made fast, so
that those who were left behind could
draw the boat quickly back again in
case of any disaster.
Each of us had a loose life line made
fast to his person, loose enough to let
us get from under the boat in the even.

AN EpISCDE OF sHERIDAN's CAMPAIGN
rear from Lees forces, struck directly
westward for the Kanawha valley. He
first rested at White sulphur, directly
on the Chesapeake & Ohio, and ther
moved along its line to Gauley bridge.
Thence Hunter finally reached the
Ohio river, and thence by boat and raj
was transported to the Potomac valley
again. When he reached Cumberland,
on the Baltimore & Ohio, Early, who,
when Hunter uncovered the valley by
his westward march, had pushed down
to the Potomac, invaded Maryland,
and was well on his way to Washing
ton. Then followed the tremendous
sensation of the Early attac'; upon
and final rcpulse from in front of the
capital by Gen. Wright's corps from
Petersburg and partof the Nineteenth
corps from Hampton Roads. There
are thousands of western veterans who
will ind the valley full ofreminders OF
these stirring events.
Next came the great union move in
overwhelming force for the final clear
ing of the valley. The veterans will
clearly remember how the Army of
the Shenandoah was constituted: Three
divisions of the Ninth corps, part of
the Nineteenth, two divisions Of
Crooks Army of West Virginia, Tor
belts cavalry division from the Army
Of the Potomac, Lowcll's cavalry brig.

sons cavalry commands-a splendid
army led by Sheridan.
The season brought the great en-
gagements under this leader. First,
however, he was compelled to with
draw from Strasburg to Harpcr's
Ferry, thus repeating the move which
had become as frequent for the valley
as the routine statement in the cur-
rent dispatches after many battles:
1.-THE Army of the Potomac has occu-
pied its old camp"
But there came a time in the latter
part of September, 1864, when the val
ley was to be finally swept clean of it's
hostile forces, and bIackened and tenn
porarily blasted by the breath of war.
Sheridan, in force, once more moved
forward. Then came the noted battles
of Winchester, Fishers Hill, Toms
Brook and Cedar Creek. The valley
was cleared southwark to the line of
the Chesapeake & Ohio road. Early
established headquarters at stanton.
On the Cd of March, 1865, by the VIC
tory of Waynesboro, directly on the
~Chesareakc q Ohio road, Sheridan
finally gained complete control of the
Shenandoah. Thence he moved south
ward to Lynchburg, destroying the
James river canal and cutting various
lines Of railroad. on the 10th of March
reached White House, and n the list of
April he was turning Lees flank at
Five Forks.
Thus, in outlines only, are recalled
the countless matters and the innu-
merable points OF. absorbing interest in
the Shenandoah. The veterans who
served there will readily fill in the

Eggs as Food.

Eggs, At average prices, are among the
cheapest and most nutritious articles of
diet. Like milk, an egg IS a complete
food in itself, containing everything ne
eessary for the development OF perfect
animal. 1t seem, mystery how muscles,
bones. feathers and everything that Il
chick requires for its development are
made from the yolk and white of an egg
but such is the fact, and it shows how
complete food an egg is. 1t is also
easily digested, if not damaged in cooking.
Indeed, there is no more concentrated and
nourishing food than eggs. The albu
men, oil and saline natter as in milk. are
in right proportion for sustaining animal
life. Two or three boiled eggs, with the
addition of slice or two of toast, will
make breakfast sufficient for working
man.

the opportunity to tell the TRUTH and re-

change is apparent. The general quaran-

caused a virtual suspension of its COM

from work on the water front.
General emigration Of laborers has been
suggested as a remedy, but the prejudice
throughout Germany against persons
from the infected districts would render
this impossible. The unrest among the
unemployed is increased by the revolu-

that bread riots will break out within the
