oou,sn4 stand Che Gait.

This good story was told by Com rade T. B. CatherwoOd in the course of an address delivered before the Confederate Veterans association at Savannah:
 Tt had been supposed that south ern troops lacked staying qualities, but there was no instance during the war when the Confederate private soldier yielded to panic, save one, on a noted field, which need not be par ticularized.
 Flying in wild disorder along the road. several Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia regiments became badly mixed up. The stampede was gener- al. and the retreat developed into rivalry as to which should get away the quickest. An Alabama officer, mounted on particularly swift charger, was we'll on toward the head of the fugitive host, but every now and then he would rein up his horse, wheel around in the road, wave his sword aloft and cry out:
 "'Men of Georgial Men of Ala. bamal Halt, I sayi Will no one stand by mef"
 He repeated this every few min utes, but always made the fastest kind of time between halts. At length, when he was making one of those frantic appeals, Will no one stand by meF a voice from the flying men on foot shouted baclSto him:
 Yes, darn you. we'd all try to stand by you if you wouldn't strike such an all fired gaitP"-Blue and Gray.

s,ort., About stopewan .I.cL.oD.

A letter writer from Rio Grande said of General Taylor after the bat ties of Palo Alto and Resaca, ''Ne call him old Rough and Ready" No one in the army had ever heard it before, but it struck the popular fan, cy, it won him tens of thousands of votes for the presidency, and it has gone down to history.
 In like manner letter writer from the field of the first Manassas gave Jackson the cognomen of Stonewall and told pretty story about Gener- al Bee pointing to him and saying. There stands Jackson like stone wall" Not only was the tale a sheer fabrication, but the name was the least suited to Jackson, who was ever in motion, sweeping like an eagle on his prey. But the name spread like wildfire and has reached the utter most limits of the globe.
 The story of how Jackson told the Yankee gunner at Port Republic to point the other way is very roman tic, but is also false. So the pretty incident of his standing sentinel for bis weary brigade is touching, but is monstrously absurd and reflects but little credit on Jackson as a soldier. The efficient guarding of whole bri- gade in the presence of an enemy re quires more than the vigilance of one man, even though that man were Jackson himself. Yet the grotesque story has been often repeated by press and pulpit.-Century Magazine.

Famou. He,ha''ical Devices Which Were
 Stumbled oIs by Inventors.
 It is curious the way that some of our most useful appliances Were in vented or discovered. We are told that some Venetian mariners built a fire on a beach where there was sand mixed with soda, and that they were surprised to find that the sand melt ed and formed 8 transformed compO- sition. Some re1ecung man was in the party. and by this accidental melting of the sand discovered how to make glass.
 Years after this the children be- longing to a Dutch spectacle maker were plaving with the glasses which their father used, and they made the discovery that by putting one glass in front of the other they could make the sieeple of a neighboring church apDear nearer. Their father had sharpneSs enough to use this acci- dental discovery in making the first telescope.
 Most engineers are familiar with the story of how the steam engine was first made automatic In the early rude forms of the Newcomer encine a boy was employed to open and shut the cocks which admitted steam and the condensing water. A boy named Humphrey Potter, who was engaged on this work, was anX- ious to play, and the movement of the engine gave him very little op- portunity. To increase his leisure he devised an arrangement of strings connected with the walking beam which opened and shut the cocks. This was the first move toward mak- ing the engines mechanism perform the operation of admitting and re- leasing steam.
 The moving of Q distant signal by means of a wire seems a very simple operation. and one which called for little ingenuity to invent. Still, the earlier railroad engineers could not devise satisfactory means of operat- ing a distant signal until a working signal man showed them theway. It Is told that in 1S46 an English sig nal man had to attend to two signals placed some distance apart at a sta ton. To save himself the trouble of walking to and fro between them he procured some wire and pulleys and made a crude arrangement by which he was able, while in his box, to op- crate both signals. An official who had been trying to devise some means of protecting trains standing at sta tiOns happened to see this primitive arrangement and applied 1t to the working of distant signals.-Loco- motive Engineering.

Do IfI

It has been said that the main diff ference between insignificant men and great men is energy, which re- mark being interpreted means: If you've anything to do, do it. and if you haven't anything to do, find something. This Is not intended to apply to labor, as conventionally ex- pressed, but means simply the gen eral quality inherent in the individ- ual which makes action necessary to comfort. And 1t should find expres- sion in the child before the time comes when amalgamatiOn into the great body of workers makes the in dividual unit in the great question of labor versus capital, of which So much is written.
 In childhood, while the mother is still the motive power of the forces that go to build character, this qual- ity, or the lack of it, begins to show, and then is when the mother can do much toward making her boy either an insignificant man or a great one. -Jenness Miller Monthly.

The people of Riverside, Califor mia, and vicinity are making an effort to gather the oranges which were blown from the trees during the last storm and send them to Chicago to be distributed through the Associated Charities, provided the railroads will take the fruit for nothing.
