southern capital was known to be
nearly empty of troops at that particu-

hold the place, it was believed that by
quick dash the union prisoners there
could be liberated, the railway bridges
destroyed, and President Davis and his
cabinet made prisoners. News of the
projected raid was carried to the
enemy by a union soldier named
Boyle, who. two nights before the
start was made, escaped from Fort
Magruder, where he was confined
under sentence of death for shooting
an officer. A large force was hastily
withdrawn from Lees army and
reached Bottoms Bridge thirteen
miles from Richmond. just in time to
confront Gen. Wistar's advance. A
sharp fight ensued, and as it was no

xhsy K.ow New to Warn One Another IF
Dagger.
While hunting with rife for squir-
rels in the heavy timber have at diff
ferent times, says a writer in Forest
and Stream, noticed that both birds and
mammals seem to have several ways of
warning others, not only of their own
kind but also of different species, Of
the presence of q supposed common
enemy. In fact, ne practice might be
called the warning system Ok animated
nature.
As an illustration, suppose the hun
ter to be going stealthily through the
woods or quietly seated upon a stump
or fallen tree, aud while there to be-
seen, as he is almost sure To be, by
some of the sharp-eyed little wood
folks Now suppose the little thing
has before been giving out some notes
or sounds peculiar 10 it's species. All
at once those sounds will be changed
TO others having n different cadence
from those at first given. or as the
hunter has discovered the sounds may
quickly cease, or even IL the little
thing was quiet before some sharp note
of danger will often take the place of
its stiffness, and other mammals and
birds i'll the immediate vicinity will
understand the warning and take up
the signals, until nearly every animate
thing for quite distance around will
be appraised of the danger Then for
awhile they will act with the utmost
discretion until confidence is restored,
when the wood life will resume its
normal ways until some movement aof
the hunter again produces the same
phenomenon. How far beyond the
commencing point these danger signals
are kept ~ or extended one NAV be
unable e .scover. but | should Judge
from what | have observed that they
extend in all directions beyond gum
shot distance
Should anyone, either with or with
out gun, while in the woods where
wild life is plenty, take note of this
system of cautionary cries, he would
find 1t very interesting and instructive.
Among the causes that lead to the de-
lection by animals of person when
still hunting there is one that he sell
dom or ever thinks about, which is the
effect his shadow has upon them, espe-
cialiy when the sun is low No matter
how steathily one may be going along
or how carefully he may be concealed
behind tree, or even be seated, his
long tell-tale shadow when lightly
moving may be greater cause of the
non-arpearance OF game than he is
aware of.
Still another cause, which, of course,
cannot be obviated much. is the ap-
pearance of the face and hands in con
&rast with the clothes of the gunner or
with surrounding objects That often
attracts the attention of animals, but
more especially is their attention at
tracted hy the movements of the hands
while manipulating the gun. One can
not help but notice, should he occasion
ally take look behind him when
quiet in the woods, how near squirrels
and other animals will come up to him
from that direction. while in front he
will see none of them, thus showing
conclusively that the contrast made by
the face and hands with surrounding
objects has more To do with making the
hunt other than success than many
gunners are aware of

TRADING WITH THE ENEMY.

While our army was stationed at
Chaplin farm, below Richmond, in the
spring of 1865. our boys and the con-
federates would often meet close by
the picket posts and trade coffee for
tobacco, etc.
One day l was trading with two

of the day coming to the post. / told
the confederate would have to 90 to
my post, but after the officer left l
would come back and finish up trad

was citizen from Pennsylvania with
the officer, and told the colonel (who
was the officer) that had been trad
ing with the eonfederates. He said:
We'll, go and tell them to come to the
post" that he and the citizen wanted
to see them, and that they should not
be hurt. | went and told them. They
came, but very reluctantly. The Penn
sylvanian was greatly excited. He got
off his horse, walked around the con
federates and remarked: We'll. don't

long breath and remark: And You say

WEAR THE WHITE RIBBON.

The bit of white tiuttering from the
dress quickly catches the eye, when, per-
haps, tempted feet are about to slip, and
is read by the sore heart IN letters OF
purity and unselfish helpfulness.
A poor man fighting his appetite, with
the saloon close in the perspective, was
about to yield when he caught sight OF
one OF our w. c. T. L. ladies, her white
ribbon flying. AS a breath OF heaven 1t
toned his weak will, and falling close be-
hind his unknownibut trusted friend. he
won the day and the saloon lost its vic
tim.
Another wrecked and tempted man, " no
had signed the pledge only to break 1t,
gave up in despair and resolved to take his
own life On the way to the river lady
wearing the W. c. r. L. white ribbon
crossed his path. Instinctively trusting
her he followed her steps, and soon found
himself in gospel mission, where he was
led to take Jesus as Saviour and Keeper,
and from that hour lived the life OF q
true disciple.
We emphasize the appeal IN the tnlon
Signal: Every mem Der OF the great army
OF the w c. T. L. should keep in plain
sight of; all, day in and day out, her
badge Of " hite ribbon. Ii was the recent
testimony of saloon keeper that that
little white ribbon would do the bust
ness. 1t, would ruin our trade If every
woman who belongs to the organization
should wear it. il would create such a
sentiment against US.
If you and really are arrayed against
the forces of intemperance, this Is a small
thing to remember Buy Il bolt of RIB
bon; if possible fasten a bow ON every
dress and wrap, and then make point OF
never removing soiled knot unless there
Is clean one at hand to replace it. But
have a clean one, There is wordless les
son in pureiw hite ribbon, before W hich
scoffers are silent. W hat a sense of COM
radeship it gives one TO meet on crowd
ed thoroughfare aDot her white ribboner!
There may not, indeed, be an exchange OF
formal greetings. but there seldom fails a
significant flash Of the eye as the tiny
badge of the army OF women hutters IN
sight Wear it! Wear it.
1t deserves to be matter Of conscience
with every w. c. T. L. mother, wife and
sister, until at length a weary, tempted
world shall be fairly belted with the
white colors OF love and purity.
