First Sensations in Battle.

From the Fortnightly Review.
What are the first sensations of the bat
tlefield? Zola, Tolstoi and Stephen Crane
have imagined them, and combatants have
written them. Something whizzed past
me like big bluebottle on the wing" says
Lieut.. Herbert Of Plevna fame. "and the
current Of air caused by its rapid passage
touched my ear. Another-another. All at
once I realized that these We're the enemy's
bullets, and, horrible dictu, the discovery
brought on a sudden, violent attack of
cholera-like disposition" The passage may
be compared with Zola's description. THE
now constant kissing of the bullets. with
their sharp ping or buzz whispering
around and sometimes into us, gave me a
sickening feeling and cold perspiration
/ felt weak around my knees. sort of
faintness and lack Of strength in the joints
of my legs, as if they would sink from un-
der me. These symptoms did not decrease

the reason why, in the war of 1S1O-1 the

From the Fortniyhtly Review.
Is courage to be taught i'm peace? A Rus

soidiery by loading one rifle in ten with
ball cartridges during maneuvers. This
CHASTITY preparative was too revolving to
civilized minds, and it has never been car

Sentences as Given Out by the Judge
Those Who Rode In the

William o. Kelly. a colored man who
was passenger on a Tth street cable car
last night, was a passenger in "Dick" An
derson's Black Maria" He paid cents
for his trip on the car last night, but this
mornings hire did not cost him anything.
When Judge Kimbalrs procession moved
into court William was the leader. and
when his case was called. Lawyer Kicks
appearing for him, entered a plea Of not
guilty.
Il have known Kelly for years." the
lawyer said. land could hardly realize that
the man whom 1 saw in the dock was my
friend''
Disorderly conduct on Conductor Doni-
phan's car was the charge against the
colored man, to whom counsel referred as
Christian gentleman.
This man got on my car at 7th and
Streets, said the conductor, "and stood
In front of the trailer. A lady who got
on the car took a seat on the grip. and the
man walked to where she was and took
seat beside her. When l saw him crowd
ing her 1 asked him if he wouldn't take
another seat.
Witness said that he returned to the rear
OF the car, and afterward Kelly followed
him and wanted to fight. At the end of
the route Kelly invited him off the car.
A b. Cole, a passenger on the car, told
the court that he heard Kelly talking to
the conductor and heard what he said
about fighting.
The lady thanked me for what / had

OF course she did," remarked counsel

they are gentlemanly to them"
The defendant said he was employed In

to be gentleman. He said he .houg!it

HONEY AS A FOOD.

Probably most people consider honey

bees change this to grape sugar, and so

G1-.v1 OF Il Saxon Hero.

The gift of Z field by the Duke of Bed
ford to Bedford town has just led to
the discovery Of various objects of inter
est. The field was being cxcavated,
when three male skeletons in fine pres
crvaticn were found. tie largest meas
uring & feet 4 inches in length. The feet
of another and the crumbling remains of
a third were also discovered. With it
were found the vctrebrae of an animal
and skull having the appearance of Il
boars head. Lying near the skeletons
was found a much rusted sword measur-
ing feet in length, with long iron han
die adapted for Il double-handed grip:
The sword, several spear-heads, and
fragments of pottery, which were also
discovered. are clearly Saxon, and 1T is
probable the skeletons represent men OF

Of I'LL the ordinary diseases to which
humanity is heir, there is. perhaps, none
more general or more painful than rheu-
matism. The Press having learned that
Mrs. Mary A. Marshall. a well-known
lady of Appleton, Mimi, this city. had for
some time past been sufferer from this
complaint. and that she had found rem
edy which not only gave almost immediate
relief. but which effected complete cure.
and believing that the Disseminate of a
few facts regarding it would perhaps be of
interest and benefit to many of our read
ers, interviewed the lady upon the mat
ter. The reporter found Mrs. Marshall at
her pleasant home bus;ly engaged in per-
forming her household duties in a man
ner which did not in the least indicate
rheumatism, and secured from her the fol-
lowing statement:
1T is about Il year and Slf ago that
l first experienced these attacks of rheu-
matism. AS they became more frequent
they became more painful, and while
used the prescriptions of several doctors

l am free to say that before l had used
two boxes of the pills l became aware of
a change for the better. l continued to
improve until to-day am as free from all

that aside from speedily and effectually
curing the rheumatism the pills have done
me great deal of good in generally reno
waiting the system, purifying the blood
and relieving those numerous little all
ments to which women are most common
ly addicted"
Mr.. Marshall was present during the
interview and was sincere in his praise of
what the pills had done for his wife, be-
lieying them to have been the sole and di-
rect cause of her relief.

Penitentiary.
Something out of the ordinary Oc-
Cured at the penitentiary at Sioux Falls
s. D.. during the time services were be-
ing held in the chapel. The story runs
to the effect that young lady, who
doesn't live in the city. but is on a visit
to friends, was invited to assist in the
singing at the penitentiary. and she was
there for that purpose. 1t appears that
this young lady was engaged to be mar
ried to Il young man of her neighbour
hood, but the ceremony was put
off until such time as he was
in position to support a wife
He came to South Dakota to make
a stake, but not meeting with the
success anticipated fell in With evil COM
panions and finally found a comfortable
cell and steady board at the peniten-
tiary. The young lady had not heard
from her lover for over three years
and had mourned him as dead, not sup
posing for moment that he could be
unfaithful. AS the convicts marched in
to services this young lady watched
their faces rather closely. Suddenly she
threw I'D her hands. screamed. and faint
ed dead away. to the great surprise Of
all except the convict. who knew that he
had been recognized. The young lady
was unconscious for almost two hours.
but when finally brought around matters
were so arranged that she could have a
private interview with her convict lover,
and it is thought there will be 4 mar
rage when he is released. as she still
loves him and is willing to forget.
