Kentucky, of $3.50 men, arrived, but so
Ill provided with arms were they that
they could not render much effective SER
vice. The American army now num-
bered 1000; the British 1900. Packen-
ham sends Col. Thornton with l,4OO men
to the western bank Of the river TO
storm the American battery, while at
the same time the main attack should be
made on the eastern bank by two col
umns, led by Gen. Gibbs and Gen. Keene.
Gen. Lambert was to command the re-
serve. These arrangements being made
the british soldiers were allowed to rest.
The night was unusually cold and quiet,
but nothing was heard from the British
position. "save an occasional murmur
rising and falling on the night wind,n
At last the morning Of the memorable
9Th of JANUARY arrived. About 5 o'clock
q sky rocket was seen rising in the air
on the left Of the British line, which was
o o answered by another on the right,
next to the river. 1t was the signal to
advance. Jackson was ready. The Brit
ishvetcrans began to move rapidlyacross
the plain. In a few moments a storm Of
bombs and congreve rockets filled the
air. Instantly a tremendous fire an
swered them from the American batter
les. Undaunted by the danger, the
trained Peninsular veterans pressed on,
while every discharge Of the Tennessee
and kentucky rifles told with dreadful
effect The exposed veterans of Eng
land, never f~linching, with stout hearted
courage still pressed on, and paused on
ly when they reached the slippery edge
of the glacis. They then fell back in
disorder and confusion, when General
Packinham, seeing the condition of his
army, galloped to the front with uucov-
ed head; he rallied his men and once
more led them to the foot Of the glacis,
when a ball struck him and he fell from
his horse MORALLY wounded. Again the
Peninsular veterans recoiled; but being
cheered on by their officers they once
more returned, and with desperate our
age strove to force their way over the
ditch and up the in~trenchments. Quick
and close Jackson's men met them at
every point, until they were finally
forced to fall back, losing this time GEN
eral Gibbs, who was MORALLY wounded.
The gallant Keene now undertook to
lead the splendid British army to victo-
ry. With wild fury they moved against
the Americans, only to be moved down
like grass by the American rifemen.
This time Gen.. Keene fell disabled.
And now burning with hot anger to
avenge the fall Of three commanders,
~Packenham, Gibbs and Keene, the Brit
ish rushed forward with the widest
fury. Some mounted on each others
shoulders to gain a foot hold on the in
trenchments. All fought like frantic
lions, but finally shattered and torn to
pieces, shot through and through, they
were compelled to retreat, suffering the
sorest defeat ever melted out to an Eng
lish army. Only Gen. Lambert was left

Do you ever have the "blues"? Do
you know what they come from? Do
you want to know how to drive them
awayi Listen:
The blues " are simply a natural re-
suit OF a disorganized liver. Your liver
s%ecretes bile instead of dis~charging it.
The bile must be filtered from that which
Is to make blood, and If not properly fl
tered your blood becomes impure. Then
you feel wretchedly, and " Don know whv
you are so 'blue'."
Now, in two or three weeks time,
you a make yourself feel like a
new creature, with rosy cheeks, good
appetite, healthy bowels and sound
sleep at night.
Ask your druggist for RamOn's
Tonic Liver Pills and RAJ
mons Tonic Pellets. These
are two separate medicines, in sepa-
rate boxes, but both together they cost
only rs cents.
You will then have a sure treat

Interesting washing. /.

An amusing little story is told in con-
nection with French journalist, who
in his early days as a reporter had a
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook Of his order, and hit upon a
method Of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction.
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them. by the aid of tiny pencil.
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts Of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly pug
zled by these peculiar ornamentations,
but as time went on she learned to de.
cipher many Of them. and gathered the
news Of the week from her patron q
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night, when che took homo the

coming out of his room as she entered.

courtesy. your last washing was very

yellow, and wind leaped from the

fles before it and bending trees until
they crashed and swayed like an army
of giants threatening mutiny. In mo-

Freezes Water Ia = Kite.

A Yankee farmer in Brazil who longed
for ice water has utilized kite for the
purpose of obtaining ice. He fills a tin
can with water and sends it to the
height of three miles, where it is prompt
ly frozen. After sufficient interval tho
kite is rapidly hauled in and the cake Of
ice secured. The inventor is so pleased
with his toy that it is said he now pro-
poses to send up kite $50 feet long BY
q steel wire cable. Under the kite will
be suspended q pulley, over which runs
an endless chain bearing cans attached
to hooks. The cans will be filed with
water and the speed Of the belt upon
which they will run will be regulated
SO that the topmost cans will be con-
verted into ice sufficiently hard to with
stand the downward journey.
