MISS GEORGIA WHITE. Local Editor


TRYING TIMES.
On bright and balmy morning
With her scrubbing brush in hand,
Madam set about the cleaning
With the force at her command.
And It matte red very little,
In her raid 'gainst dirt and CRIME,
That her spouse Was most unwilling
Thus to while away his time.
So she kept him rather busy
Cleaning stovepipe, pulling tacks,
Till he thought that all creation
Needed hinges In their backs.
And he found 1t aggravat'ng
VIII he couldn't make Ter say
That his style Of washing windows
Was by far the better way.
Slightly ruffied, worn and weary,
They essayed dangerous point
That Of beating dusty carpets
With their tempers out Of joint
Son their energy OF thrashing
Brought q crowd from far and near;
For the neighbors thought II really
Time for them to interfere.
He declared that she began 1t,
And she gave 1t as her claim
That she meant to hit the carpet
But, perhaps, mistook her aim.

health of that gentleman, by the use OF the

much notice. and some have found it hard
10 believe, even going so far rs to write Mr.

them another command before they reached

ever, as he was drinking pint of beer, some Of
it almost choked him. Out he rushed splut-
tering and coughing, just in time to see SIX
OF the men marching through gate and the
rest standing, marking time, with their faces
close to the wall. Before he got his throat
clear the Colonel came upon the scene and
at once commenced to make inquiries Thas

who disappeared were discovered about

A Suggestion.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please
allow me to suggest a remedy for the trou-
bic we have every year in obtaining rates
TO our National Encampments. At the next
Encampment say to the people competing
for it that the one obtaining the lowest rate
will get il; or, let the cities desiring the
Encampment obtain the desired rate of one
cent per mile from the railroads under con-
tract one year ahead, and then you can bring
them to terms. The railroad companies care
nothing for the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, except to get all the money they can for
carrying them.-JACoB G. MATTICK, Co. B,

Shields's Division. in its usual light

Shields's Division, In its usual light
marching order began its march up the
Luray Valley June 2, running a race
on parallel lines with jackson, who was
moving up the Shenandoah Valley. The
sound Of cannonading between Ere
mont's advance and Jackson's rear
guard kept us informed each day of how
the race was progressing.
Through some strange oversight of
the Union General, a small force of
Jackson's cavalry had been allowed to
burn all the bridges across the south
fork Of the Shenandoah River between
Front Royal and Port Republic. We
reached Luray to find the White House
Bridge burned, the river bank-full, and
no means to cross over to. the western
valley to reinforce Fremont.
The inhabitants of the Luray Valley,
Ike their neighbors of the Shenandoah,
were intensely disloyal. To find any
one who even professed Union senti-
ments was very rare. When we
marched down the Valley a few weeks
before on our way to Fredericksburg,
passing by farmhouse in the lower
part of the Valley, the young ladies of
the household came to the front door
and waved little Union flag that for
more than year they had kept con-
cealed. We cheered them roundly.
On our return we looked for some
demonstration from this household.
There was none. The sorrowful counte-
nances of the family showed plainly
that some disaster had happened. In
quiry elected the information that after
We left the Valley and the
REBELS TOOK POSSESSION,
some of their Secession neiehbors had
taken the father of the family from his
home at night to the woods and hung
him like dog.

South.
From Luray we moved up the Valley
to the site Of the Columbia Bridge.

halted here three days while cur engi-
neers were trying to construct floating
bridg ge to cross our force over the river.
The undertaking failed. The current of
the river was too swift.
jackson having passed us in the race,
the Third and Fourth Brigades were
advanced TO Conrad's Store, about 10
miles below Port Republic. Here
Shields's order reached Gen. f. b. TYLER
to proceed with the Third and Fourth
Brigades to Waynesboro on the Vir-
ginia Central Railroad to intercept
jackson. The supposition no doubt
was when the order was issued that
jackson would continue on the road
leading from Harrisonburg to staunton.
Tyler was to destroy the bridges and
railroad at Waynesboro and prevent
Jackson's forces from reaching Rich
mond.
This attempt to throw two small bri-
gades Of less than 5000 men all told so
miles from any supports in front of an
army of 10000 men was of piece with
all the other strategic movements of this
mismanaged campaign. CarroIrs Bri-
gade moved promptly on the evening of
the 7th, and Tyler's Brigade were under
orders to move at 4 a. IN. the next morn

On our march up the Valley we had

BARON STEINBERGER-

He had been great cattle dealer in the
United States, and boasted that he had
helped to break the United States Bank,
by being indebted to it $4,000, 900 !
At all events, lie was splendid looking
fellow, and brought with him from
Washington letter to Gen. Smith and
another for Commodore Jones, to the
effect that he was a man of enlarged ex-
perience in beef; that the authorities in
Washington knew that there existed in
California large herds of cattle, which
were only valuable for their hides and
tallow; that it was of great Importance
to the Government that this beef should
be cured and salted so as to be of use to
the army and navy, obviating the neces-
sity of shipping salt beef around Cape
Horn. / know he had such letter
from the Secretary of War, Marcy, to
Gen. Smith, for it passed into my
custody, and | happened to be in Com
modore Jones's cabin when the Baron
presented the one for hinrfrom the Sec
retary of the Navy. The Baron was
anxious to pitch in at once, and said
that all lie needed to start with were salt
and barrels. After some inquiries of
his Purser, the Commodore promised to
let him have the barrels, with their salt,
as fast as they were emptied by the
crew. Then the Baron explained that
he could get nice lot of cattle from
Don Timoteo Murphy, at the Mission
of San Rafael, on the north side
of the bay, but he could not get a
boat and crew to handle them. Under
the authority from the Secretary of the
Navy, the Commodore then promised
him the use of boat and crew, until he
(the Raron) could find and purchase
one for himself Then the
Baron opened the first regular butcher
shop in San Francisco, on the wharf,
about the foot of Broadway or Pacific
