JdckSOn'S men rushed to the dttuck.
 the camps from sight of the highways
 Here and there iii forest and field were great heaps of forage for the animals, and here and there great heaps of fixed ammunition for cannon or musket There was the value of millions of dol lars lying about, and nearly all must be sacrificed. Withdrawal meant re- treat. Retreat meant that Lee and Jackson would assume the aggressive and seek to utterly annihilate the Fed eral army.
 The work of destruction began almost before the cheers of Hoods Texans had died away. Whole regiments were de- tailed for the work The cattle could be drivI away. A part of the most valuable stores could be hauled off. It is a rule of war to leave nothing behind in retreat to benefit your enemy. He is often left the dead and wounded to em- barrass him. The soldiers were ordered to destroy, and they seemingly took de- light in obeyine. The heaps of -four, meat and clothing were given up to the flames, and aS the heavens were lighted by the midnight fires people on the house roofs in Richmond believed the green forests to be iercely blazing Never mad general more to sacrifice that he might be stripped for fight; never was the hand of destruction more 1uthlessly applied. A night was not sufficient. All next day while those in battle line held the enemy at bay thou sands of men were burning and destroy ing. When the COnfederates marched over the ground, they were appalled, at the sacrifices made. When the last heap of forage had been given up to the flames. Mcclellan was ready His lines were abandoned, and his army was in retreat, but there was no panic. Lee and Jackson were ready to follow. They hoped to find fleeing mob, but when- ever they attacked it was to be beaten back by men as valiant as Napoleon ever saw turn at bay. Mile by mile they retrcated, pausing now and then for fierce grapple in which they could justly claim victory, and at last the James was reached, and the army had been saved. What of the dead and wounded: Nothing. They figure in the reports of battles only as figures.

Thcy tncCl beside the dcdd und SCurch
 cdch pocket:
 ghoul steals away from the dying camp fire into the darkness and skulks and creeps and crawls about in search of plundef. Every army has its human hyenas. They may have fought brave ly during the brittle, but as night falls and men cease their work of killing the ghoulish instinct cannot be resisted. They kneel beside the dead and search each pocket. Their knees feel the earth wet with blood. but they do not shrink Their hands touch gaping wounds and are smeared with blood, but there is no disgust. Whatever plunder they secure is blood stained, but on tie morrow they will wash away the stains.
 'Hero-this wGy-for Gol $ sake give me water!''
 It is a wounded man who has heard the ghoul moving about. No matter whether he is friend o1 foe, he may yield plunder. The ghoul bends over him and begins search. The wound ed man may quietly submit. hoping at least to be rewarded with water enough to moisten his parched tongue and burn- ing throat. If so, he is spared. If not, strong fingers seize his throat and fasten there until he is dead, or his own bay onet may be driven into his heart.
 And when the summer sun comes up again hundred burial parties will be scattered along this front, and d thou sand men will be busy digging the long trenches into which the dead are to be heaped. There will be no time wasted. The dead will be picked up as fast as possible and dragged or carried to the trenches. No one will ask their names, no one search their pockets. 1de by side, like sticks of wood, heads all one way, and then covering of diAt is be- grudgingly given. Years later the trenches hidden by brier and bush will be opened, and the bones lifted out to be carried to the spot where single monument must serve to cherish the memory of thousands.

What He ThnuRhf.

An Irishman who served on board a man-of-war was selected by one of the officers to haul in towline of consider. able length that was towing over the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or 50 fath- oms, which had put his patience severely to proof, as we'll as every muscle of his arms, he muttered to himself: Surely, it's as long as today and tomorrow! It's a good weeks work for any five in the ship. Bad luck to the leg or the arm it'll leave at last! What-more of it yet! Och, murder!

Mrs. Jack Astor's Tennis Court.

There is one decided athletic novelty about John Jacob Astor's new mansion on Fifth avenue at Sixty-fifth street, New York. This building, when finished, will inclose one of the finest tennis courts in the country. It will be an indoor court, with long. low windows and large skylight in the top. which will admit floods of mellow sunshine and give the impression, as near ly as can be given in the heart of great city, of being in the open air. Young Mrs. Astor is fond of the game and practices it frequently at the Ladies' Athletic club in the Berkeley lyceum, of which she is a member, and where she also exercises in the bowling alley. A bowling alley will also be feature in the new Fifth avenue mansion, and it is her intention during the coming winter to have many society women present at the tournaments which will be played in the tennis court.

A prominent farmer of Mecklenburg county has expressed the opinion that Charlotte's growth and improvement are largely duo to the roads leading to the 9ity and sad that lands ill his section had increased much ill value i'll conse- uuence of the better roads. He mentions two tracts which were bought last year, one for SIS an acre, which was sold this year for $25 an acre, the other for SIS per acre, which sold for $30. These fig ures serve but to strengthen the general belief that good roads do much for the towns with which they afford ready communication. n.-Charlotte (N. O. Ob- server

 DENVER, April 0.--Therc is no need tc ge abroad for scenery, ruins or antiquities while Colorado beckons the tourist to her canyons, gorges, cloud cleaving peaks; her prehistoric and mysterious cliff ruins Think how old the new world must be, after all, when there arc buildings the purpose of which no historian can discover and whose architecture is quarreled over by famous savants.
 There are few small cliff dwellings to be seen from the Rio Grandc Southern road, but so closely do they resemble the leaps of piled up rocks that it is only tho accustomed eye which can readily distin- gnish them. The most celebrated of the cliff dwellings are found ill the vast Man cos canyon and its tributaries west of Du- rango. The visitor can reach them by horseback from Mancos station. It is also possible to drive to them. There are men who make 1t their business to conduct parties to view these ruins. It is n pretty rough jaunt for a woman and neAessitates some climbing but those western men know how to smooth all difficulties for "thc ladies'" 7"
 Pcrched nearly 1000 feet above the val ley clinging like Il nest to the limb of a lofty tree, stands one of the most famous of the cliff dwellings, d two story palace, so called, of finely cut sandstone. The blocks are about 15 by inches and are correctly adjusted in mortar which is as hard is the stone. The ledge of the cliff forms the floor of this dwelling, and the roof is made by the vast ovcrhanging mountain. On the ground floor are three rooms. These rooms have partition walls of faced stone. There arc traces of a floor which centuric, ago separated the two sto rin Enn1N of hn I, istn nh fnnf high 2nd the rooms on both floors arc plus tered and Feintcd q dull terra cotta with white band.

The Rest of i1entifrices.

One of the most popular dentists in New York uses pure castle soap, medium bristle brush aud waxed dental floss, and his teeth are like pearls. The dental floss can be had in any dry goods store for 12 cents It is carded silk, and, unlike spun thread passes readily between the closed teeth This is the only way to complete the cleansing, after using tho brush, A spoonful of listerine, bay run1, camphor, lavender water or any cologne in half glass of water is excellent for disinfecting and sweetening the mouth.
