endowed. Public libraries endowed
by rich men would no longer be prac-
tical. Sons of millionaires would not
be able to spend half so much upon
fast women and fast horses as they
now do. and the appointments OF club
rooms would not be nearly so expen-
sive or sumptuous, and the Yokel be
further encouraged to pass laws viola
tive of obligations of contracts. In
view of these facts such assemblages
as the Pertle Springs convention should
be dispersed as anarchistic, for what
ever tends to hinder the restoration of
confidence in the ability of the money
trust to maintain its present privileges
and immunities, is clearly of that ma
ture. 1t is clearly an interference
with Interstate commerce, as it tends
to reduce profits. The position taken
by Mr.. Cleveland last year that any
Interference with property rights justi-
fies the use of Federal troops, or an in
junction from United States Court,
applies to such cases as the one we
haye been referring to. and any delay
in recognizing the fact will prove dam
gerous. The Federal Courts should
be invoked to prevent the parties APP
pointed upon the Central Committee
at the convention from acting, and
United States Marshals should be in
structed to break up assemblages of
Free Silver men throughout the State.
The Yokel Is wholly unfit for any in
teiiigent political action, and he should
be made to feel this.

morning Of May IL, 1854, when the
good news came down u line that
Hancock's Second Corps had charged
that morning just before daylight and
captured four thousand prisoners, two
field officers, twenty cannon, and a
great many small arms, and several
stands of %collors. OF course We were
much pleased ut the news, and threw
up our hats and shouted with all the
force of our lungs. About this time
our regiment was ordered to make a
forced march to the left; and after
marching four or five miles we heard
the roa of heavy musketry in our
front, and pushing forward across a
hollow and up a hill, we came up to
and relieved a regiment that had been
firing in front of a rebel fort since early
morning, which had not yet surren-
dercd to Hancock. We were drawn
up within 100 feet of the fort and our
orders were to fire as fast as possible,
and we kept q constant stream of balls
pouring over this fort, so that the
Johnnles could not raise their heads
above the breastworks to fire at Ills
without being hit by our bullets. We
continued firing until late in the even
ing, when, after our guns had become
so dirty We could hardly get a ball
down them, we were relieved and
moved back to our old position in the
line just beyond the fort, and in line
with our firing stood a large tree,
which, when our regiment was re-
lieved, appeared to be almost cut
down, and when the regiment started
back to its old position, Capt. Jeffery
requested me 10 stay and see if it did
actually fall. In about two hours af-
ter our regiment left the fort, the
Johnnies shot up the white flag Just as
the tree fell to the ground. / was so
glad it was over, and started up the
till to the fort where Hancock's corps
had charged early in the morning. It
had been raining all day and part of
tho night before, and the mud was
deep. The dead and wounded had
been removed, knapsacks, portfolios,
writing paper, pens and ink, letters,
ETC., were scattered all over the hill
side. I got on top of the fort, and
what q sight! Worse than a slaughter
p~en-muddy, bloody and "a wet as if
they had swan the river. There were
200 in the intrenchments, every one of
them more or less wounded, and MANY
dead. They were calling for food and
help. The was SO deeply i'm
pressed upon my memory that it seems
but as yesterday. though it was twen-
ty-eight years ago. After talking to
tho wounded some time I returned to
my regiment; and I never could tell
why our regiment had BEEN brought
70 far to do that work, when there
were others 50 much nearer.

A Queer Zulu Custom.

One part Of the Zulu marriage cere-
mony is very peculiar. The groom
comes forward and sits on the ground.
His bride then dances around him,
laughing at and ridiculing him, kick
ing dust In his face, disarranging his
elegant head dress, and otherwise tax
ing liberties with him, intending to
show he was not az yet her master.
The groom sits silent, never replying,
and as she ceases. probably for sheer
want Of breath, leaves and returns
almost Immediately, leading an OK,
called 1.-The OK Of the girl" This il
solemnly killed, and constitutes the
binding portion Of the ceremony.

In Reveries of . Veteran the SER

similar case in my company, May 9,

We said to cheer up for he was good
for a long time yet, but it done no
good. In the evening he went out on
the picket line and staid a long time
because he said he could not sleep.
Morning came and there was no hos
tilitles on either side. When noon
came all remained the same, and il
ever | hoped there would not it was
that day. But at 3 o'clock an order
came. The attack at Pine Capple was
hastily prepared and preparations
much to advance our lines. After
passing our artillery ahead a hundred
yards one of our guns was fired and at
the same instant 1 heard q groan be-

lay Andrew with his leg shot off. In
the morning he gave his watch and
knapsack to the chaplain to send to
his folks at home. We picked him up
and carried him to the rear; he gave
an officer directions where to find the
battery and said: "Boys, it is pretty
hard to be killed by our own guns.
