From the New York Times.
1t has been suggested by the London
Lancet that trained nurses be employed on
the ocean steamers as stewardesses. Any
one who has experienced the comfort of
having trained hands handle them when
too Ill to raise the head will hope that
the suggestion be carried out While the
class of stewardesses are. as a rule. kindly,
agreeable women, willing to make US COM
Portable IL possible, the trained nurse in
such a place must excel them in knowing
just how to do and what to do for
those who perhaps, are something more
than seasick.
The death of a beautiful little girl from
pneumonia on an ocean steamship last
summer raised the question among a party
Of pa ssengers. Would not a trained nurse
have done differently. and, perhaps, saved
the little life?' Nursing is two-thirds the
cure. especially in quick diseases. like pneu-
monia. Delicate persons who take the voy-
age for health would certainly appreciate
the trained assistance.

a GLORIOUS VICTORY.
RrIznss shumate's Rscollections OF First
Manassas.
Ne,os and Courier.

July 81 being the thirty-third an
niyersary of the First Manassas, l
felt in a reminiscent mood and con-
.cluded to while away an hour or two
in giving some recolleotions Of what
we thought then was the greatest bat
tie ever fought on American soil, but
which was nothing more than q grand
military .skirmish in comparison with
some other battles fought during the
war.
Some six weeks prior to that time
Col. Kershaw's End South Carolina
regiment was ordered from Richmond
to Bull Run, small sluggish stream
three miles beyond Manassas juno
4ion. There we spent three weeks
building earthworks on the south bank
of the Run and on both sides of the
road leading from Washington to Rich
mond. Soldiers are proverbial grum-
blers. We complained Of our fare,
which consisted of beef, bacon, lard,
-four, coffee, sugar and rice; how glad
". we would have enjoyed the same
kind Of rations before the close Of the
war We also demurred at the idea
of digging dirt and building earth
works, and were not pleased with mil
itary discipline, drill and guard duty.
Each private soldier believed him
self as good or better than his officers,
and when it came to fighting could
whip three or four Yankees-in fact,
one member of the Butler Guards (the
company to which I belonged) was
heard to say that the Buffers alone
could whip the entire Yankee army,
or at least he thought SO.
A young Israelite Of my company,
who had always lived in a city, and
had never seen or heard big OWL, was
placed one dark night in the deep re-
cesses of the Bull Run Swamp on
guard duty Near morning, when ev-
erything was calm and serene, and the
young soldier was thinking, perhaps,
of the ssgirl he left behind in far
away Carolina, big owl Topped his
|; wings and gave vent to his peculiar
I yscreech-too-hoo, too-who, too-who.
The young man, obeying instructions,
hailed the bird, and receiving no re-
sp@nse fired his gun, came running
into. camp, with hair standing on end'
eyes ldistended, badly scared, and sta
ted that some one : re in the dark
wanted to know who b vas. The in
c;dent saused a hearty laugh at his

Just at this place ricketts, battery
which had been captured and retaken
several times during the day, fell into
our possession. Col. Allen j. Green,
of Columbia, and Col. johnson Ha,
good, of Barnwell, volunteer fighters
! with our regiment, Immediately turned
the captured pieces upon column OF
infantry occupying the crest of the
ridge across a ravine Immediately in
our front, but too far off for our rifles.
The shots fired by Hagood and Green
and also by Kemper's Battery soon
put the Federals to fight. They rush
ed down the hill pell-mell, helter-
skelter, and took the back track to
Washington, where some Of them were
halted, while others never stopped
running until they reached their homes
north of Mason and Dickson's line, and
may still be running for aught | know.
When we arrived on the field it ap-
peared to me that we had no organized
force fighting the Yankees. A few Of
the Hampton Legion were holding
their ground, but were nearly sur
rounded and would soon have been
captured.
The I'd regiment passed over the
battlefield, crossed Bull Run on the
Stone Bridge, and pursued the fleeing
and panic stricken foe to near Cub
Run. Kemper's battery, Of Alexan-
dria, Va, being attached to our regi-
ment, unlimbered and fired a few shots
at the artillery crossing Cub Run
bridge. The first shot disabled one Of
the pieces, and the bridge became
choked up with artillery, caissons,
wagons and ambulances, The horses
were detached by the flying fugitives
and ridden bareback with "John Gil
PIN speed to Washington. The rout
and Generalization were complete.
Officers without commands and men
without officers struggled in a hetero
geneous mass into the city Of Alexan-
dria, and did not feel safe until they
had placed the Potonic River between
them and the dreaded Rebels.
The Palmetto Guard were skirmish
ing near Cub Run and the venerable
Edmund Rufin, Of Virginia, but tenn
porarily attached to the Palmettoes,
fired the last shot of all the troops on
this eventful day.
We captured Governor Sprague's
wagon containing his champagne wine
near Cub Run, and it was amusing to
see dirty private soldiers smackiDg
their lips over the Governors fine
wine. which he expected to use in
celebrating the capture OF our Capital
and the downfall Of the Confederacy.

expense. and he did not hear the last
Of the "too-who" for many day.
About the last days of June we
moved up to Fairfax Court House,
some sixteen miles from Washington,
which place to some extent we also
fortified.
At l o'clock on the morning of the
4th of July we silently left camp and
marched in the direction of Washing
ton for the purpose 1--WE were tol0 Of
trying to capture company OF Fede-
raj cavalry which had been seen on
various occasions scouting in the neigh
borhood of Fall Church and Mason's
and Munson's Hills.
After going several miles our regi-
ment, with the exception Of the But
ler Guards, of Greenville, and the
Palmetto Guard, Of Charleston, was
placed in ambush in thick wood near
the roadside, with Instructions to keep
sharp lookout for the enemy. The
Buffers and Palmettoes continued the
march some two miles further on, and
just at dawn we heard firing in she di-
rection Of our regiment. The sad
news soon reached US that oua boys
had killed two Virginia cayalrymen,
having mistaken them for Yankee SOL
diers. Our expedition having termi-
mated so disastrously We returned to
camp footsore, hungry and tired.
On the 10th or 18th the Federal
army, under command Of Mcdowell,
made its appearance in our frontS,in
full view, and Immediately began
forming line of battle. We had just
finished breakfast: excitement was
rampant, fonts were struck, wagons
hastily loaded and sent to tbsarear,
and our regiment was hastily formed
and marched to the earthworks. The
Butler Guards were thrown out in
front as skirmishers and double-quick-
ed from point to point until we were
nearly exhausted. Believing from all
the signs around US that we would
soon be engaged we unslung knapsacks
and threw them in a pile, thinking we
would gather them up again VIXEN we
had whipped the Yankees and driven
them back from whence they came. /
bought and had boiled medium-sized
ham the day before, and to that ham
I clung with the tenacity of hungry
man. The knapsack, clothes and 9th
er tricks could go, but the ham never.
SooI our whole command was out of
sight going in the direction Of Bull
Run. The Butler Guards covered the
retreat and obstructed the way as much
as possible by placing old crossties
and other timbers across the road. We
