your banners, and the enemy cannot stand be-
fore your invincible courage, and they give
way, and you are victors of the aold, while the
cheers of the spectators I'LL the air. It was
one of the most dramatic and gallant episodes
of the war, and was the subject of the artists
pencil in more than one of the illustrated peri
odicals of the day.
At the Reunion of the blue and gray on the
field of Gettysburg in 1888, met three of our
rebel friends who were in the engagement at
Mapping flights, and they said that when the
brigade was advancing they were lost in ad-
miration at its perfect alignment and gallant
bearing, and that they knew they were no
ordinary troops that were facing them, and
that we had half won the fight before they
opened fire.
You followed up the enemy after this engage
ment as far as the Rapidan. The pursuit ceased
there, and you went into camp near Brandy
Station, where you remained through the
Winter of 1863'64; the monotony Of camp life
being broken by the manuver of the army at
Mine Run in November 1863, and your regu-
lar tour of picket duty.
As the Spring opened, indications Of tho
coming campaign were apparent and you re-
allied that the struggle was to be a serious one.
The Army of the Potomac would have to attack
Lee in his businesses, for he could not again be
persuaded to offer battle in the open field. He
awaited as behind his intrenchments and on
the 9Th Of May, 1864, in the dense woods of the
Wilderness. we como upon his lines and attack
with vigor. The musketry fire is unparalleled.
1t rolls along the line in deafening roar. The
earth seems to tremble with the crash, as the
opposing forces meet in deadly conflict. The
enemy are desperate,t and they contest the
ground inch by inch; and the field is fought
over again and again.
Your former valor is well sustained in this
terrible conflict the severity of your Losses at
testing to your gallantry.
You lost in this battle three officers wounded
and one missing, six enlisted men killed, 81
wounded, and i've missing; total, SO.

There is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it q local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. HalIs Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoOnful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dol
lars for any case it fails to cure. Send

1t Is an old joke that the native
Londoner never visits the Tower of
London and often has not seen the
interior of Westminster abbey. The
same rule frequently holds good in
America. 1t is the stranger or sub
urban visitor who takes the trouble
to visit the objects of historical inter
est in our cities, or the localities
where important events have taken
place. 1t is the summer boarder or
the art student who discovers the
view from the hill behind the village

In the fall Of 1886 was sent from

intend the erection of a sawinill to
replace an old one which was de
stroyed by fire. Everything went ON
nicely, and the mill was in running
order In about two weeks With the
exception Of a countershaft to run
the planer and hatcher, which was
missing. To send TO the factory
would take not less than two weeks,
and we came to the conclusion to cut
a piece off the old line shaft and turn
10 up ourselves, as we had an old
lathe standing next TO the boiler and
engine.
The weather Of the last month was
dry and very warm, but at sunset
that day heavy snowstorm set in,
and the thermometer dropped to zero.
The next morning we sent our en-
gineer to get one of those old line
shafts, but found them covered with
snow and ice. At last he succeeded
in getting hold of a piece about 8
feet long. 1t measured about 2 inches
in diameter, somewhat thicker in the
center and tapered at one end. We
needed only 5feet, so we sent for a
sledge and chisel to cut off the right
length. One stroke and off flew the
thin part. told the men this kind
of iron would not do, but the engi-
neer said all iron would break like
this in zero weather; it soon would
be all right If it came into the lathe
next to the boiler. He took the shaft
over to the wise and centered same.
and from there to the lathe, put the
steady rest in position and tried to
turn it to the right side, but all in
vain The lathe was located near
the boiler, warm place, the ice had
melted during the time, and the shaft
got softer and softer, and the too
would not cut at ALL
At this moment the proprietor OF
the place stepped in, and seeing his
man running the lathe asked him
what he was going to do. Il am
trying to turn a shaft for our planer,
but | never saw piece of iron like
this. First it was as hard as glass,
but as soon as it got warm it turned
soft and is getting softer all the
time" The proprietor took a steI
forward just in time to see the two
ends drop out of the centers, but
held in the middle by the steady rest,
showing several different colors. The
proprietor was an old man and had
for many years. lived in Colorado,
and one glance convinced him that
his engineer had taken frozen rat
tlesnake for piece of iron, cut of
the tail and put the balance in the
lathe to turn it off for countershaft.
The snake was not hanging on the
rest longer than a minute when il
commenced to whirl around to free
itself. All the men ran, and the
snake after them, until somebody
killed it with club. We looked fol
the tail, which by this time had also
thawed, and found Is rattles ON it.
The engineer swore he would never
look for another piece of iron on q
day like this in Colorado. -Cincin
