ROLL CALL.

..Corporal Greene!' the orderly cried.
Here was the answer, loud and
clear,
From the lips of the soldier who stood
near;
And Here" was the word the next re-
piled.
Cyrus Drew.'-then silence fell.
This time no answer followed the call;
Only his rear man had seen him fall.
Killed or wounded he could not tell.
There they stood in the failing light, L
These men of battle, with grave, dark
looks.
As plain TO read as open books,
While slowly gathered the shades OF
night.
The fern on the hillside was splashed
with blood,
And down in the corn, where the pop
pies grew,
We're redder stains than the pOppies
knew,
And crimson-dyed was the rivers flood.
For the foe had crossed from the other
side
That day, in the face of murderous
fire
That swept them down in its terrible
ire,
And their life-blood went to color the
tide.
Herbert Kline at the call there came
Two stalwart soldiers into the line,
Bearing between them this Herbert
Kline,
Wounded and bleeding, TO answer his
name.
Ezra Kerr voice answered
Here
Hiram Kerr.'-but no man replied.
They were brothers, these two; the
sad winds sighed
And a shudder crept through the corn
field near.
"Ephraim Deaner'-then soldier
spoke:
'Deane carried our regiment colors, y
he said;
Where our ensign was shot | left
him dead
Just after the enemy wavered and
broke.
"Close to the roadside his body lies;
paused a moment and gave him a
drink;
He murmured his mothers name, |
think,
And death came with it and closed his
eyes.
Twas a victory, yes, but it cost us dear;
For that company's roll, when called
that night,
OF hundred who went into the fight,
Numbered but twenty that answered
Here"

A Tribute to the South.

Rev. Madison G. Peters, a proml-
nent New York clergyman, as a pre-
lude to his sermon on Sunday, spoke
as follows:
Having recently spent few weeks
in the South, feel it to be my duty
publicly to admit that had, until |
enlarged my information by personal
observation, an entirely erroneous idea
of the South, and | take this means
publicly to apologize for those unchar-
liable thoughts. My lectures upon
American lines and my pleas for in
tenser Americanism and more enthu-
siastic loyalty to American ideas, as
laid down by the founders of our re-
public, met everywhere with the
heartiest response. If the tocsln of
war should be sounded, foreign foe
invade our shores, or an insurrection-
ary body arise in our midst, a million
men, armed to the teeth, would come
from the South and rally round the
flag of the Union.
why, the South is the only truly
American part of our nation today.
The South may yet have to be called
on to save the North from her reckless
immigration, which is now weakening
and undermining the foundations of
our social order. Rebel? That word
must henceforth not be spoken. be-
lieve that the South today grasps the
hand of the North in fellowship
which has in it no misgiving nor de-
ceit. The public men of the South
are not, as with us, professional for
eigners, who have made public Office
a public steal. The Southern men in
public office are patriotic and devout,
conscientiously American and person
ally the embodiment of integrity. But
you say they do not believe in negro
domination. Neither do we North.
Enfranchising all the negroes immedi-
atelv after their emancipation was
practically one of the greatest mistakes
ever made by any free government.
"In many counties and states the col
ored voters are in the majority, and a
majority rule would take the govern
ment entirely from the property-own-
ers and place it in the hands of those
who, with few exceptions, have no
qualifications to entitle them to voice
in the affairs of the government. Negro
domination would mean white damna-
ton.
"The solid South is broken, and
will break more and more if they are
let alone. But let the next Congress
agitate a force bill, and self-defense
will solidify the South again. A suf-
frage limited to an educational qualih-
cation is the only solution of the negro
problem. But illiteracy is not confined
to the South. Our Northern cities are
thronged with foreigners as imbecile
in their ignorance and degraded In
their morals as were the rabble hordes
that wrecked the republics of antique
ty. Universal suffrage is menace
| to free institutions.

sHEPHERDSTOWN w. VA. THURSDAY DECEMBER 13, 1894.
Women to Wear Socks.

A new terror threatens woman.
Poor thing, she is as much pursued by
dangerous foes nowadays as she was
in the good old times, when knights
in armor had to ride continually to
her rescue. The villain who still pur-
sues her and makes her days one Of
long anxiety and her nights hideous
dream has changed, to be sure, and
has become of the feminine gender.
Some persons, given to elegant dictlon'
call it Dame Fashion.
The greatest danger with which wO-
mans relentless foe threatens her is
the sock. In Paris, according to a
high fashion authority who has recent
ly returned from there, the long stock
ing is doomed. Every one wears socks.
Boys and girls in short trousers and
skirts display waste of pink flesh be-
tween the top of the sock and the bot
tom of their garments. There Is, OF
course, not this same display in the
case of the grown-up wearers of the
sock, but there are sufficient other dis
advantages to make up for this.
The agonies of the woman who Is
wearing these things for the first time
are untold. If, in moment of absorp-
ton in other things, she forgets the
fact that she has discarded stockings,
she is promptly recalled to a sense of
her loss by the keen discomforts of her
feelings. She cannot for an instant
remember what is the matter with her,
and the sickening conviction that her
garter has slipped is the first exPlana-
ton that occurs to her. Then she re-
members and her horror passes, but
the discomfort remains.
Ofcourse, socks are chilly. Ofcourse
they do away whit the ornate and beau
tiful garter, with its jeweled clasp. OF
course, they make the wearer keenly
uncomfortable. She breads a windy
day as she would plague. A step to
a carriage or from train assumes a
proportion which horrifes her. But
she has the gratifying cOnciousness that
she is wearing what fashion demands,
and that is sufficient to sustain most
women in almost any emergency.
The socks which have appeared so
far for feminine wearers are mainly
black. So far silk and Isle thread are
the only materials which have been
made into these forms of fOotgear. II
ny polka dots, embroidered in colored
silk, adorn them. Clocks in pale blue,
red, primrose yellow, nile green and
olive green are ornaments on others
Small flowers, rosebuds, forget-me-not'
and tiny blossoms which it puzzles the
botanist to identify, are also wrought
in silk on the new socks.
This most uncomfortable fashion will
probably reach this country simultane'
ously with the winter winds, slush ano
snow. 1t will be interesting to see
how many women will court pneumo'
MIA and diptheria by wearing socks
and how many will continue to veal
long stockings and defy death.

The Premature ProdigaI.

1t was two days before Christmas,
and the old couple were sitting in front
of the cheerful open fire in the great
square kitchen of their home. The
snow was falling. but the cattle were
warm and comfortable in the barn.
"Day after tomorrow will be Christ
mas, said the old man, slowly. "You
have not forgotten it, have you, moth
err"
mo, father, she said How could
I? Have l not said all along that he
would come home Christmas eve?"
AYE, so you have. Let US hope
let us hope. 1t is four long years now
since our only boy left u.s. Yes, he
will come Christmas eve. "
Il know it, father" said the wOm-
an. Il have read so often Of it hap
pening so. We will wait for him here
in front of the fire. "
cay, ay, here. With his empty
chair drawn up between us so, and
the old man pulled chair little
nearer to the fire, and patted its arm
as if it were the arm of his absent son.
"Yes, father, that is right. And the
door must not be locked And before
you come in you must give the COWS
and the horses and the sheep and the
pigs and the chickens extra portions OF
feed, and see that all issnug and warm.
"That l will, mother, you may be
sure-that I will" His hands hung
by his side, and he gazed again into
the fire. Then he raised his eyes sud-
denly. And we must place the lamp
in the window. You forget about
that"
Yes, yes, so l do. The lamp must
be in the window. I'll get 1t ready.
Our boy must see the lamp burning
in the window for him when he re-
turns" She arose and brought the
can of oil. Her hands trembled, but
at last the lamp was filled and trim
med ready for its place in the window
on the coming eve. She sank again
into her chair and rested the tips OF
her fingers on the arm of the empty
chair beside her, while her husband
hand lay heavily on the other arm.
For long time neither spoke, but
gazed into the fire and listened to the
storm without. At last the old man
said as a tear glistened in either eye.
"Four weary years since Willie ran
away to sea. But tomorrow he
must"
There was rap at the door.
Come in, cried the man. The
couple arose and stood with their backs
to the fire.
The door opened slowly, and stand
ing before them with his hand on the
latch was their wayward son.
Il" the boy faltered.
Bill, said the old gentleman, cold
ly, you're twenty-four hours ahead
of time. We don't want you tonight
'Tain't reg'lar
mo, 'taint," echoed the woman
"That there lamp will be in the win
dow for you tomorrow night, and not
before"
The boy turned and went out into
the storm.
Gosh all Caesar you can't put ne

said the old man. He took Ions

Suicides in France,

The minister of justice has just pub
lished some statistics of suicides which
are not without interest. They show
an average of per cent. for males IN
der twenty years of age, and of so per
cent. for men over sixty. Of suicides of
females, on the other hand, per cent.
were those of girls under twenty, while
there were not more than 81 per cent
for women over sixty years of age.
Twenty-six per cent of the suicides
were attributed to mental derange-
ment, and 20 to physical suffering.
Drunkenness is held responsible for II
per cent. and love affairs for 4.
Most of the men had recourse to the
rope, while the women preferred death
by drowning, though some took poison,
which seems to be altogether eschewed
by the sterner sex. Strangely enough,
suicides are far more frequent in the
spring and summer than during the
colder months, which leads to the in
ference that want, which is much more
prevalent in the winter than in the
other seasons, is not the usual cause OF
these sad determinations to be rid OF
life.-London Telegraph.

GOLD FIELDS OF THE YUKON.

Plenty of the Precious Metal, But It Is
Difficult to Reach.
Some destitute Alaskan miners who
were recently landed in San Francisco
by United States revenue steamship
brought a dismal account of the gold
fields of the Yukon country. They do
not dispute the claim that mineral
wealth exists there, but say that a
great part of it lies under impenetra-
BILE mountains of ice. Moreover, the
high cost of living renders the pros
poets of. the average miner extremely
dubious. Flour sells for twelve dollars
a hundred pounds and sugar twenty
five cents a pound, and other necessa-
ries of life are proportionately as dear
For meal of corn beef and beans in
the settlements seventy-fve cents is
charged. Inclement weather, too, linn
its the mining season to three and a
half months each year. Mining in
Alaska" said one of the prospectors,
sis different from mining in any other
region ever heard Of In prospecting
for claim you first have to dig up
from six inches to three feet of moss,
and beneath that is mass of ice of
questionable depth which has to be
thawed before you strike bedrock. l
have seen men thaw out thirty feet of
ice and then not get anything" He
admitted, however, that occasionally
the gold-seeker "struck it rich" "We
learned before we left" he says, ''that
there were four men who had each
taken out ten thousand dollars worth
of gold dust this summer. There are
several others who will carry away
five thousand dollars worth of gold
dust, but then some of those men have
been prospecting all through the Yu-
kon district for several years past with
out scraping up more than enough to
live on. The miner who secures enough
dust to pay his passage back to San
Francisco is doing we'll"

A Wonderful Shake.

shaking dice with wealthy man from
the Pacific coast. He lost constantly,
and finally found that he was $1,000
loser. The time agreed upon to quit

about to leave the table when B. said:
'Tll shake you double or nothing, one
dash, and quit, sure" Agreed" said
the other. SHAKE" said B. He shook,
and five aces appeared upon the board.
B. scratched his head, and said: How
can I beat that? The very best 1 can
do is to tie you. Give me a show"
What show do you want?" the Frisco
man asked. LET me put six dice into
the box and see if 1 can beat you"

"Boys," B. adds, you may believe it
or not, but I put six dice into the box,

Botanical Oddities.

Those who have given any particular
attention to the study of botanical cd

called because its white petals have "a
series of well-defned dark-colored
lines and dots, in which the imagina-
ton can readily trace the form of an
antelope, with the limbs outstretched
and head thrown back, seemingly flee
ing for its life. In the ''caricature
plant" one species has the initiative
form on the petals, and another
has it outlined in the ribs and
shading of the leaves. This last
mentioned curiosity bears a remark
ably well-executed likeness of the
duke of Wellington, and has on that
account been named "Arthur and
