The Prose of Battle.

Hark ! There was no mistaking that
sound. That was heavy artillery. The
scream of the flying shell that cut the top
off tree started the mountaineer.
On, on the regiment swept through the
woods. Now the forest is suddenly
tipped with flame. The scream of shells
and the sharp crack of musketry greet
the advancing line simultaneously. Men
drop here and there. The Colonefs voice
is heard laundering his command; the
line moves forward-bounds forward; the
cloud of smoke yelling the trunks of
trees lifts, and the advancing line dis
covers the woods are alive with men. A
mass of glittering steel confronts them,
but on, on the men in gray press, in
obedience to the command of the Colonel.
Again the woods are fringed with flame,
and now the Confederates realize that
they are in the very bowels of hell, as
shot and she'll tear, sweep through their
ranks. The forest is ablaze with mus
kerry. Shells girdle great tree trunks
here, cut through others there, fairly
NOW the forest and cut tremendous
swaths in the heavy underground.
The shock of the battle fills the air.
Neither blue nor gray sWerves an inch.
First the color-bearer fell; then Colonel
Clayton and his Adjutant fell, never to
rise again. But the battle RACES, This is
the spot where men refused to yield
where they confronted each other until
the fever of battle expended its strength;
until the ranks of the blue and the gray
became so thin that there was no longer
food for powder or shell; until the rank
and file on both sides discovered that
they were bereft of the sem mblance of COM
mand, and then both sullenly retired.
But there was no victory only a
slaughter.
The sounds of battle diminish. Ram
bling shots are beard, instead of volleys.
The edge of the battle is turned in another
direction. The chief sounds now are
groaus and soul-piercing cries. Men in
mortal agony pluck their garments open
and place their hands convulsively over
gaping wounds. They wrest vest and
shirt open with one clutch, look down at
the wound from which their life's blood
is flowing, then die without sigh.
Others manage to crawl to tree, stone,
or log, sit upright by tremendous
effort, bring forth with infinite pain the
picture of a wife, children, mother, or
sweetheart they will never see again, and,
looking at their loved ones, breathe their
lives away.-Blue and Gray.

FOURTEEN FINE FOWLS.

That is What Soulless Thieves Bereft
II. 5. Pierson OF.
A thief yesterday morning raided the
henroost of II. S. Pierson. at $40 y street,
and stole fourteen fine fowls, leaving him
not even a wing to console himself with.
His visions of chicken pie, ad libitum,
have vanished with the crows of his
roosters and as he wanders disconsolately
down the street he casts wistful glances
at the tamale receptacles, and wonders if
some of his luckless chickens have found
a resting place there.
His neighbor, H. D. Stegemau, also
mourns the disappearance OF half-dozen
cacklers, who probably Went TO keep
Pierson's company.
II is about time to hear again some
morning that one or two chicken-t thieves
have been shot while on their raids.

MIDNIGHT FIRES.
Two That Broke Out Almost SimuI-
taneousIy.
A Small Dwelling Burned-Destruc-
tion of John Riders Barn and
Its Contents.

Just about midnight last night two
alarms Of fire were sent in, one from the
Buffalo Brewery, at Twenty-first and K
streets. and another from Twentieth and
G streets.
The alarm-bell on the Corporation
House had not ceased to ring 81" for the
aforementioned locality when the whistle
at the Water Works began to blow for
''62," at Agricultural Park.
The fremen responded to the first
alarm, but seeing the blaze in the north
eastern portion of the city one of the en-
gines and truck branched off in the
latter direction. The fire near the brew
cry proved to be in a small dwelling on
Seventeenth street, near r, and the struc-
ture was entirely consumed. 1t was inn
possible to learn to whom the property
belonged, owing TO the distance and the
lateness of the hour.
The other fire was found to be on the
premises of John Rider, just across the
north levee at Eighteenth and A streets,
whose large barn and all its contents was
entirely consumed.
The barn contained some $500 or $500
worth of hay, four valuable horses, two
buggies, several sets of harness, farm i'm
plements, etc. Nothing was saved, as
the building was entirely enveloped in
flames before the inmates OF the residence
discovered the fire.
1t is supposed the fire was caused by
tramps sleeping in the barn, and it is not
improbable that some of them were
burned. At l o'clock this morning the
mass of hay was still burning tiercely.
Frank Rider said he thought the loss
would be upward of s., 900, but he was
not certain whether or not his father had
any insurance on the property. His own
loss consisted of a horse valued at $500, a
buggy and hunting outfit. he having just
got everything in readiness to leave for
the country to-day on shooting expedi-
ton. His property was not insured.
This fire was at first supposed to be at
Agricultural Park, whence the alarm was
sent in and shortly afterward repeated.
There are many valuable horses there,
and quite a crowd of people went out in
hacks aud on foot. supposing the park
buildings to be on fire.

Coats Stolen From Residence-A Suit
Found in Barn.
The Kaminsky residence at 525 y
street was entered on Wednesday night
by a burglar who helped himself to a
couple OF new coats. In the pockets of
one of them were some valuable papers,
but these were found yesterday in the
alley in the rear of the house.
Yesterday afternoon two men entered
the barn of NJ. Enright, at 1924 O street,
by way of the alley, and proceeded to
change their clothes. They left behind
them some very good underclothes, two
coats and two pairs Of pants, one
being a light-colored doeskin, with
some spots, which look like red
paint, near the bottom OF the leg. As the
clothes left were very good in condi-
tion and quality, it IS supposed that they
had made a raid on the dress suit of
somebody in the vicinity in order to at
tend some of the swell parties this win

Nick Burley, who this year won the
title of champion amateur middleweight
Of the coast at the Olympic Clubs box
ing tournament, is in the city. In note
to the RECORD UNION he says:
Having heard rumors about town,
since nay arrival, that my title OF ANA
teur NiddIeweight Champion Boxer Of
the Pacific Coast has been disputed by
one or two Sacramento middleweights, 1
stand ready TO defend it, at a moments
notice, for trophy valued at any price,

1t is not likely that anyone disputes
Mr.. Bulley's title to the distinction he
prizes so highly. He is the champion of
'93, and William Johnson Of this city is
the champion of '92 The latter did not
compete in this years tournament
There appears to be no conflict of title
involved, but it is possible the friends of
one or both Of the gentlemen have had
something TO say concerning test of
their relative abilities as exponents of the
