AS recently as our civil war no man
would dare let it be known that he wore
a bullet proof garmentof any kind.
myself once saw ia an abautloned camp
a wornout waistcoat that had steel lin
ing. 1t had been kicked and battered
apparently by the troops that had occu-
pied the camp, and the troops who came
on to the same spot picked ltsup, and it
was passed about for inspection as Gu
riosity. with an unceasing expression of
contempt for the coward who would
wear such protection. An analysis of
this feeling would probably show that it
had its origin in the circumstance that it
was worn secretly and thatsuch excep-
tional protection was considered an un-
fair advantage over comrades who expos
ed their unprotected bodies to the death
storm of battles. Sure it was that no
man on either side had aught to say

A Rrare Man at the Throttle.

Many of the heroic deeds Of the civil
war that have passed into history, like
the stone covering the bones of thou
sands of the Union dead at Arlington,
are monuments to the s'unknown." It
was when General J. e. B. Stuart, COM
manding the cavalry of General Lees
army, struck Tunstall Station, ON the
York River line, on June Is, 1862, that an
engineer. whose name has not been pre-
served with the record of his daring
deed, proved himself to be of such stuff
as heroes are made of.
General Stuart conceived the idea of
fanking the right wing Of the Federal
army. In carrying out this plan he COM
pletely encircled the army of General
Mcclellan. On the afternoon of June
10 he left camp, ostensibly to go tonorth-
ern Virginia, but really on his fianking
movement. The next day he descended
upon Tunstall Station and cut the tele-
graph wire in order to interrupt Federal
communication. While this was in prog
ress small body of Federal cavalry ap-
peared, but perceiving the approach OF
the main Confederate force retreated.
The Cenfederates charged the station
and captured q company of infantry.
They then felled, trees and placed them
on the track with other obstructions.
This was scarcely done when train
came laundering down from the direc-
tion of Richmond, loaded with Union
troops. Then it was that the engineer
proved himself the possessor of a cool
head and stout heart. Seeing the OBJ
structiens on the track and large force
of Confederate cavalry, he suspected dam
ger, and disregarding the flying bullets
that whistled about his head he put on a
full head of steam. Theengine struck the
distractions, knocked them out of the
way and passed on without accident,
thus saving from capture and consign-
ment to rebel prisons a trainload of
Union soldiers Exchange.

Portland Wholesale Market

FOR THE WEEK ENDING Jan. 10.
The volume OF trade among jobbers continues
OF small proportions, and while there is no per-
ceptible falling off compared with the previous
week, one thing is certain, we are unable to
discover any signs of improvement, and the fea-
ture OF the market appears TO be extreme dull
ness. particularly in the grocery trade and all
dealers in this department as well az in many
others. seem to have adopted very conserva-
tive policy their purchases being still confined
strictly to immediate necessities The grain
business has been fairly satisfactory for some
time, but this is an exception to the general
rule, and prices are well supported. The sud-
den Jump in Sugars early in the week was quite
surprise and the trade were caught with small
stocks on hand. The advance in refined. and
growing impression that duty will be imposed
on Sugars, add somewhat to strength. Potatoes
are steady and UNCHANGED here, while at New
YORK the market is weaker on account of heavy
receipts OF Scotch and English stock the i'm
ports for December being 63,945 sacks against
$3.50 the previous month. The market for
Eggs is somewhat demoralized, receipts are in
creasing, and with the light demand have
caused la break of about DC a dozen. Otherwise
