Up from the SOuLn at break OF day.
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay,
The aHrighted air with shudder bore,
Like herald in haste, to the chieftain's
door,
The terrible grumble, and rumble. and rosT,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider sim those pillows OF war
Thundered along the horizons bar;
And louder vet into Winchester rolled
The roar of that red sea uncontrolled,
Making the blood of the listener cold,
fray,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
Butthere is a road from Winchester town,
A good broad highway leading down;
And there, through the flush OF the morn
ing light
A steed as black as the steeds Of night,
Was seen to pass, as with eagle flight,
As IL he knew the terrible need;
He stretched away with his utmost speed;
Hills rose and fell; but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
The first that the general saw were the
groups
OF stragglers, and thea the retreating
troops,
What was donel what to dol glance told
him both,
Then striking his spurs with terrible oath.
he dashed down the line, mid a storm Of
huzzas,
And the wave of retreat checked its course
there, because
The sight Of the master compelled it 20
pause.
With foam and with dust the black charger
was gray;
BY the flash Of hiseye, and the red nostrils'
play.
He seemed to the whole great army to say.
Il have brought you Sheridan all the way,
From Winchester down, to save the dayi r
Hurrah! hurrah for Sheridan!
Hurrah hurrah for horse and man.
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome Of the Union sky,
The American soldiers Temple of Fame;
There with the glorious generals name,
Be it said with letters both bOldand bright,
Here is the steed that saved the day,
By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
From Winchester twenty miles away

railroad company heard that Butler

The partner of Ben Butler says there
was no harder worker in public life
than he:
ben Butler once teld me that he
would rather try cases OF common
drunkenness at SIC a snit than remain
idle. He was the personifcation Of
intellect4al activity and the gray mat
ter of his brain was a great electric
dynamo which was never idle. He was
systematic in his work and he kept his
papers and letters carefully arranged
and filed away for future use. There
is a great amount Of unwritten his
tory in his correspondence and | will
not be surprised to find that he has
left considerable unpublished manu-
script. He was working not long ago
ON a lecture ON Judas lscariOt, and his
idea was TO prove that Judas was the
purest and the noblest OF the twelve
apostles. He claimed this last on the
ground that Judas alone appreciated
the greatness of Christ and that he be-
trayel him to give him chance TO as
sert his greatness, supposing that he
would by a word crush all his enemies
and make himself The King of the
Morbid,

Plumbers Resent a Joke.

At the first session of the national con-
vention of master plumbers, held in
Milwaukee recently, Major Middleton,
one Of the delegates, before the session
opened hung some decorations on the
wall rejecting in 4 joking, pointed man
ner on what he seemed to consider the
weakness OF lis trade. Two OF the dec
orations were illustrated verses satiriz-
Ing the plumber. One showed in water
colors upon n large piece Of canvas n

Some Brilliant Sword Strokes.

Elephants are completely disabled by
one blow from the Arabs two handed
sword, which almost sewers the huge
hind leg, biting deep into the bone. This
feat is varied by slashing off the trunk,
leaving it dangling only by a piece of
skin. A ghoorka has been seen by the
late Laurence Oliphant to behead buff
falo with a single blow of his cookrie.

There is a story current in Australia
that Lieutenant Anderson in 1862,

German and English weavers.

Mr.. D. F. Schloss gives the following
instructive contrast between English and
German weavers: The well fed English
weaver can without difficulty look after
four looms and can with the aid of iu-
venile assistant (''tenter') manage as
many as six. But, as DR.. Won Schulze-
Gaevernitz tells us, notwithstanding that
the continental manufacturers run their
looms from 90 to 30per cent slower than
ours are worked, in Mulhouse and in
Switzerland each weaver can only tend
three, and in Germany you will seldom
see weaver able to tend more than two
looms. The effect of the superiority of
the English operatives upon the cost of
production is shown by the fact that, al
though the rate of remuneration of our
English weavers is about 100 per cent
higher than that received by the Swiss
and German hands" yet we are able to
turn out cotton cloth at labor cost dis
tinctly lower than that which obtains in
Switzerland and Germany.-London Let
ter.
