The Battle OF BentonvIlle,

Thomas u. Goundrey, Sergeant Go. b. Hist
N. T.. Townsend, N. T., says: " The article on
Bsntonvills, written by Comrade L. Hendrick,
which appeared in recent issue, interested me
very much, as l was on the other side just
then, having been taken a prisoner the morn
ing of the 10Th Of March, with James Tapp
and Leander Smith. We were detailed from
the Twentieth Corps. but becoming separated
from the detail on the 18th, pushed forward
during the day and ut night succeeded by a
ruse in passing through the Fourteenth Corps
pickets after dark, expecting thereby to get
ahead of their foragers in the morning We
got little previous and were gobbled up by
Comrade Hendrick what was the effect of the
csse-shot sent over by his battery. The john
MES truly got setback, and came to the rear
in all shapes-hatless, bleeding, and also car
ried in blankets We prisoners were moved
out of range, as we thought not any COO soon,
as the ground was being torn up all about US.
After the batteries spoken of by COmrade Hen
drick took position, the Johnnies advanced up
tho ravine This must have been in the after
noon. When the batteries opened on them,
case-shot came tearing through their ranks and
blowing up the ground about u.s. We were
again moved to the rear double-quick about
two miles. / must say that never in my expe-
rience did l see wounded men come back in
such numbers as they did from that ravine.
This battle must have been great surprise, as
the officers told Us prisoners that they had got
Sherman just where they wanted him. In
conclusion would say, that if the Seventeenth
Corps skirmishers had been supported by their
line of battle, the only bridge across Mill Creek
could have been taken, the only line of retreat
cut off, and the Johnnies would have been like
the soldier that caught the Tartar-unable to
get away. Boys, speak out, and tell US how
you saw it at Bentonyille."

What to Do in Case of Accident.

Professor Wilder, of Cornell Uni
versity, gives the following short rules
for action in case Of accident, which will
be found useful to preserve or remem-
Der:
For dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing;
dash water into them; remove cinders,
etc., with the round point of lead pen
Gil.
Remove matter from the ear with
tepid water; never put hard instrument
into the ear.
If an artery is cut compress above the
wound; if a vein is cut compress below.
If choked get upon all fours and
cough.
For slight burns dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed cover
with varnish.
Smother fire with carpets, etc.; water
will often spread burning oil and in
crease danger. Before passing through
smoke take 4 full breath, and then
stoop low; but if carbonic acid gas is sus-
pected walk erect.
Suck poisoned wounds, unless your
mouth is sore; enlarge the wound, or,
better. cut out the part without delay;
hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of a cigar.
In case of poisoning excite vomiting
by tickling the throat or by warm water
and mustard.
If in water, float en- the back, with the
nose and mouth projecting.
For apoplcxy raise the head and body;
for fainting lay the person fat. New
York Herald.

BoRAx IN THE HOUSEHOLD.

The box of borax should be as much
in place in every household as the salt
box, or the jar of salve for burns. 1t
is one of the best agents for softening
water for domestic use. There is no
greater comfort tor any one on tour,
travelling in limestone district, than a
small box or packet of borax; for by its
use the effects of hard water on the skin
are quite neuralized. 1t may be used
either as a substitute for or in con juuc-
ton with soap, the proportion being a
handful of borax to nine or ten gallons
of water, and it has the advantage over
soda in not spelling colored clothes. In
the laundry borax is used for washing
lace and fine things and in the making
of cold starch, and for giving al adj
ditional glaze to collars, fronts, cuffs
and starched fabrics generally. 1t is
also one of the best means Of rendering
bricks fireproof, and it is far superior in
this way to alum. AS an insecticide it
is invaluable; cockroaches will not haunt
a kitchen where borax is scattered on
the floor, and it is harmless to domestic
pets. Scientists say that very small
proportion Zone in 1000 is enough to
retard the souring of milk for twenty
four hours, and that this amount is not
Injurious to health. Mixed with glycer-
inc, it forms ore the mcsS generally
used applications in throat affections; in
cases where glycerine is dlsliked, honey
may be substituted. Lastly, borax is in
itself valuable disinfectant and anti
septic, and is a component part in many
dental reparations.-NewY York News.

LOVE STRONG AS DEATH.

Nay, say not, Sweet, that Love has turned
away
Because one day
He gathered alien flowers waile it was May
For Love is Love and cannot go that way
Tho little loves there be that dance and
sing,
And kiss and cling,
And praise the light AMI laughter or the
Spring,
But on dark days, like birds, forbear to
sing.
Shall Love that bore the blast and did not
fail
Now cover and quail
Strong Love that blanched not then, to-day
turn pale'
Nay, Love is Love, my own, and cannot
fail.
Oh, could Love cease, or change. or pass
away,
Then the sous day
Would turn to night, unlit by any ray;
But Love, Sweetheart, can never pass away

PERISHED IN THE FIRE.
Escape Cut OF by Powder Explosion
That Wrecked the Building.

Shortly after n1idnighta terrific explosion
startled Fort Madison, Iowa, and it was dis
covered that the frame building occupied as
a meat market on the ground floor and as
dwelling above was shattered and in
flames The fire department was quickly
at the scene, but so rapidly dad the
flames spread that nothing could be done.
When it was discovered that nine people
were imprisoned in the burning ruins the
excitement became intense, but the greatest
efforts of the firemen could do no good. Two
of the victims, Samuel Kitchen and Henry
Meimeyer, got out of the building, but In
such horrible condition that they soon died.
The bodies of Mrs. Kitchen, Miss Day,
and the baby were 50 tightly clasped in each
others arms that they were separated with
difficulty. It is thought the fire was the
work of an incendiary, and the explosion
came from a keg of powder in the lower
story. The explosion wrecked the stairways
andsprevented escape. The victims wera

TO KEEP BEEFsTEAK FRESH.

!Tut the steak into pieces suitable to
serve, writes s. E. Wilcox. On the
bottom of a Mason's self-sealinC glass
can sprinkle little salt; then put in a
layer OF meat and sprinkle over it a lit
tie more salt and pepper than if for
present use, adding the last perceptiblC
dash of finely pulverized salspesre. Fill
the can to within an inch OF the top
with layers of meat, sprinkliug each
layer with the salt, pepper and saltpetre
as directed. Press down we'll to exclude
the air. Then cover to the brim with
lard sufficient softened to run smooth
and seal, screwing the cover down very
tightly. Put the can in paper bag
and set in the cellar. I have kept meat
IN this way perfectly sweet for six
months.-New York Voice.

4 Gruesome Sight Witnessed by Early
Morning Pedestrians in Boston.
James Hayes, a trimmer for the Boston
(Mass.) Electric Light Company, was found
early the other morning hanging lifeless
from the cross-bar OF ons Of the poles in
Dover street. The leather straps that bound
him to the cross-bar prevented him from
falling. Passers by noticed that something
was wrong and the body was taken down.
No one seemed 10 know whence came the
current that caused his death. The switch
was found turned off as he had thrown IL
before beginning his work. At that hour
there should have been no current on any or
toe wires.
The company's officers are o. opinion that
the trouble wGs caused by some one at the
central station throwing current over the
wires carelsssly and without giving proper
warning.

There would be small danger of mobs

newspaper writing looking toward the
manufacture of sentiment which will
bring an appropriation to enable the Dis

"the District National Guard de-

"'beneicences' to the nation have been
so many that there Is no use trying TO
catalogue them" Chief among these
benehcences is mentioned the fact that
"the drill cards just issued have been re-
ceived with open arms by the Leaven-
worth school Of instruction" Also, "the
proposed adoption by the war depart
ment of Gen. Ordway'S whistle code, with
which 1t Is we'll pleased"
Possibly am lacking in true patriot
ism. May be 1 am base migrate. But
really do not value above rubies the
above mentioned "beneAcences."
Perhaps If were to hear the "Ordwsy

be willing to pay dear for it. As 1t la, I

Efficiency of Teachers.

The Boston Journal says: "Superin-
tendent Lord of the Portland schools
makes good point in his annual report
on the efficiency of teachers. An idea
prevails, says he, that anyone who has
high school education is capable OF
teaching the lower grades of the primary
school, providing he OF she can maintain
a certain amount of discipline. There is
a further idea, too, that the primary
school is the place to put young, IN
trained and inexperienced teac hers to
either training and experience at the
expense of the mental development OF
the pupils. This certainly is radically
wrong, and Superintendent Lord will be
supported by every educator in his bat
tie against it. 1t is the first years of
school life when the most telling i'm
pressions may be made and when the
most sl1illful teachers should be en-
ployed."
