that for water. But Sunday carried
the tide of battle two miles to the west
of the river. And then it was that
Bloody Pond received its name and be-
came one of the historic spots on the
field. Wounded men by hundreds
dragged themselves toward the pond.
Some, crazed by feverish thirst, stag
gered to the edge and threw them
selves in. Many diOd as they lay there
within sight, begging for just drop.
When Monday morning came there
was no more horrifying scene than
that presented in and around Bloody
Pond. Corpses foated on the water,
and corpses lay higher than the pine
cones all around the edges, Both
armies We're represented in the CHASTITY
scene.
"We could drink anything in the
form of water those days" one of the
veterans said, as he looked at Bloody
Pond.

TO THE COURTS.
This Seems to be the Probable
Outcome.
Governor waito's Attorney says he Agrees
to Make Case for the Supreme Court

MoCoOk WIN Keep the Peace.

Attorney I, N, Stevens, who was in con.
sultation with Governor Waite for long
time, says that his excellency has accepted
tho ndvico of his attorneys aud consented to
submit the fro and police board question to
the supreme court on its merits. The gov
ernor says no is still considering tho matter,
but II generally believed Mr.. Stevens speaks
by the book.
SO tho Colorado National guard, which
was ordered to take tho field on short notice.
will not DO called into action. The state
troops at Durango, Boulder, Colorado
Springs, Grand Junction and other centers
have been uniformed and under arms
ready TO take special trains TO Denver,
and the state troops in Denver have boon
on call. Exciting reports have been flying
all over tho state.
In response TO kilograms flom Washington,
Sheriff Burchinell sent the following

The chamber Of commerce directory cir

two boards. Use Of the military In this case,
the paper says, means that whenever in the
governors opinion the courts are wrong
and he is right, then no may use military
force to compel obedience to his decree.
This Is despotism and should not for q
moment be tolerated. In attempting to en-
force his order by military power, II Ia as
serted that tho governor Is violating tho law
and abusing his high office.
General McCook said there Is no doubt
that had gun been fred the governor
would have been lynched within an hour.
General McCook also says he has tho United
States troops hero to protect public prop
erty and will remain in town until the ex-
element is over especially since there IL a
largo number of desperate men in town
ready to ferment riot SO as to make rob-
berry possible.
Many popullsts do not uphold Governor
Waite and Judge Croxton, one of the best
known populsts in the state, has asked Gen
erRl McCook to use his influence with the
governor to avert further trouble, Refer

Garrison Of One. Man and a Boy.

In 1863, while 1 was for q day in
Portsmouth, N. H., it was given out
that Gen. Wool was to visit Fort Con-
stitution, in Portsmouts Harbor, and
l resolved to make an item of it by 60
ing to New Castle and making note
for my newspaper of the defenses there
and witnessing the Generals reception
by the garrison, writes B. P. Shillaber
in the New England Magazine. In
stead of the formidable garrison l had
expected, l found the fort held by an
old ordnance sergeant of the Seminole
War, who still retained his rank
Sergt, Davidsop-supported by his
wife. He was the perfect embodiment
of soldierly spirit-grave, erect, tact
turn, every motion governed appar-
emily by the rules of war, turning on
his heel as if he were the guidon Of
platoon.
He received me soldierly, with con-
siderable military dignity, and in
formed me of Gen. Wool's expected
arrival to visit the fort, whom he was
to receive. A salute being essential, l
questioned him as to his ability to give
it, but he assured me it was all pro-
vided for. There was but one small
boy who seemed available as assistant,
and I marveled greatly how the Ser
geant would operate to bestow the &C
customed honor.
The General and his staff arrived in
carriages about noon, and as soon as
they neared the fort, "bang" went the
first gun from the battery, then an
other and another in quick succession,
and getting into good position for
observation, / discovered the garrison
of one man and boy springing from
one cannon to another, the Sergeant
touching the piece off, the following
to cover up the vent with piece OF
lead
Twenty men could not have per-
formed the duty with more precision
and rapidity. The guns had all been
loaded and primed for the occasion.
With the sound of the last gun the
Sergeant was ready to receive his dis
tinguished guest by presenting arms
at the entrance.
"Where is the garrison?" inquired
the General.
"Here sir, was the reply.
"Where are the men who fired the
salute?"
Here, sir" indicating himself and
the boy.
The General laughed and made the
old man happy by complimenting his
performance.

brance and regard. One that is espe-
cially taking with young people is the
novel arrangement OF dove on card
so that when the card is set upright by
means OF the rest at the back, the
handsome bird tits forward and has an
unusually natural appearance Of flying.
An old church tower and the moon
rising over the trees at the back, with
other doves lowering about, carry out
the pleasing effect.
A more expensive token is in the
form Of garland of Ea ter songs. This
has several trees attractively illLmi-
mated with flowers and children amid
the words ard score OF the songs.

How to Prepare Easter Eggs.

One way is to put them for few
minutes in hot water, and then write
with tallow a name or design, flower
or ornament, on either side Of the egg
Then boil it in water in which col
ored solution or dye has been put. The
color will not adhere to the part OF the
shell which has been touched with tho
tallow, and whatever has been drawn
will he quite white. Eggs boiled In
logwood will be violet or purple, and
with pin or knife one may scratch on
the shell any design desired.

At o'clock the children Tartake OF
their luncheons, which consist largely

President has a reception for them; he
always stands at the door leading from
the east room into the large hall, and
as they pass through he smiles, speaks
word Of wee me to all, and shakes
hands with as many as possible; since
there are hundreds passing through, it
Is quite pardonable II few are over
looked.
This Is the only dav during the whole
year that the little folk are given free
access to the White House and its
grounds, and they heartily enjoy the
privilege.

back with marvellous distinctness. A
little south of where the hardest fight
ing was done there is peculiar de-
preston The country road curves to
avoid one side of it. The other half
breaks in upon a,cornfeld. Natives
call the place sink. Water collects
there. Bloody Pond the place is
called. Many of the veterans walked
down to look at it as soon as they left
the cars. As they stood around the
edges they told of the sights they saw
there, in the closing hours of the
battle.
There is more forest than farm in
the topography of Chickamauga.
Springs are few, and, although each
farm house has we'll, there was no
water supply for a fighting army. In
making provision for the 5000 veter-
ans, the Chattanooga committee had
barrels of water hauled from consid-
cradle distance. 1t is not difficult to
understand what must have been the
condition when the 100000 soldiers
we're marching and countermarching,
charging and retreating, over these
ridges, across these fields, and through
these pine forest glades.

THE EASTER SYMBOL.

The flushing skies, tho passing cloud,
The feeling OF IL sorrow gone,
presence pure and gentle -browed.
There comes the gloom OF morning rays,
There passes all OF gloom and sin,
And down the dow -beje eled ways
The god OF summer enters In
The past ia but a shrlveled leaf,
A written scroll Co fade away,
With all II held OF Joy or grief
Merged In the glory OF TO day.
Sweet hope goes down into the tomb
And takes from death grander life,
Joy rings across the voice OF doom,
And peace Is gained by every strife
The egg expands It's pulsing wings,
The twig awakens into flowers,
And from the soul OF man there springs
The perfect age of fullest powers
over and over all is told,
The stars their orbits still repeat,
Season to season buds unfold,
Aud worlds and atoms meet and meet
There is no loss, there Is no gain
There is no waste Of time or iorcoI
And every act and thought and pain
Are meeting points in natures course
And death is not! the very rocks
Await the resurrection morn;
And FIRE or storm or change unlocks
The old, Ondthus the new is born
30 may we live in perfect trust
And In the tempest stand serene,
For God will re- create the dust
Though countless ages intervene,
The wrong shall vanish In the right
