Lowest Depths of Vulgarity.

It has been left for some Americans
to reach them. Unfortunate it is in
some respects that money has been here
tofore accumulated SO quickly and
easily in this country. The result is
that wealth has come to people who do
not know how to spend it. They have
neither the education, the temperament.
nor the large philanthropic view of lite
which would enable them to use their
wealth wisely and esthetically. AL
they know is to show it off and to show
it off in the most ostentatious way.
Really high bred persons are not fond
of attracting public attention to them
selves.
When away from home, they dress
an d act in the most quiet manner. Their
clothing and all their belongings, while
of the best quality and highest elegance,
are thoroughly unobtrusive. To pass in
a crowd without being noticed one way
or the other is the aim Of all well bred
persons who are obliged to appear in
crowd.
The aim Of the vulgar and ignorant
rich is exactly opposite. To attract at
tention to themselves by displaying
their outlay of money is their chief aim.
The bicycle is the latest device which
enableg the fool rich to show their ig-
norance Snd lack Of culture. They stick
diamonds and oolored gems into tho
handle bars and lanterns Of their wheels.
they cover the wheel itself with gold
and silver gilt A bicycle lately made
for one of these stupid individuals cost
$1,000. The vulgarity and snobbery of
ignorant riches can reach no lower
depth.

= The exposition business has certainly
been overdone, yet most Of the world
that can afford it will undoubtedly visit
the Scandinavian show to be held at
Stockholm in the summer Of 1897. The
most interesting part Of the exhibition
will undoubtedly be the Scandinavians
themselves, the red haired Danes, the
faxen haired Swedes and the darker
complexioned Norwegians and Firms,
who will unite as one people to make
the exposition illustrious. There are no
more interesting peoples ON earth than
the strong, clear eyed Scandinavian
races, descendants Of the vikings and
Norsemen who discovered America cen
turies ahead of Columbus. Americans
will be glad to visit at home these peo-
pie, who send such fine specimens as i'm
migrants. Scandinavians who come to
us have dazzling pink and white COM
plexions and constitutions Of wonderful
vigor and endurance and youthful looks
that outlast middle age. They are
among the best educated and most in
telligent of our immigrants and quite
honest and dependable. 1t is fine blood,
that Of the old Norsemen and vikings.
The clear eyed honesty and earnestness
and the vigor Of the Scandinavians is
reproduced in their art and literature,
making both pre-eminent in this NOR
bid, nervous age.

Growers men won the day and rushed
onward to q second Confederate line
The Carolinians contested every step OF
the ground beyond the cut. So slow was
their retrograde movement that there
were not ten PAGES between them and
the advancing enemy. Grover was at
last driven of, with loss Of 500 men,

ians lost 148 killed and wounded out
of 1888 taken into the fight. One of the
incidents of the melee was the crossing
of bayonets between the First Massachu-
sets and the First South Carolina.
The First Massachusetts was not the
Federal double of the First Carolina,
but there was a regiment in the Army
Of the Potomac which may be 80 called
with no great stretch Of imagination.
The First South Carolina and the Eigh'
ty-third Pennsylvania were strangely
identical in origin, fought often on the
same fields and were directly opposed.
Their losses in killed in battles were
the second highest for single regiments
on their respective sides and differed at
last by one only. The Eighty-third

were under heavy fire from Confederate

army was saved from destruction by a
railroad cut, which was SO gallantly
defended that the Federal columns were

the cut was made by the brigade Of

the Federal side. The re-enfOrcements
brought up no bread, and in that cam
paign I saw Major General Slocum
eagerly devouring sandwich Of hard
tack and raw pork handed him by q
thoughtful soldier Of his command. Ev-
erybody was hungry, excepting perhaps
Stonewall,s foot cavalry. They were not
the fellows to burn up good rations IN.
til they had filed themselves and their
shoulder bags with captured stores.
They somehow made way with things
nourishing to man which they found in
q concentrated form. That campaign
ended for the Confed~ rates in a raid for
rations into Maryland, for the boys in
gray at that early date Of the war lived
on very short allowances when they
could not capture from the enemy.
There was blood spilled over the eat
ables before jackson got away, and in
one instance over drinkables. The drink
ables were not the extract Of grain, how
ever-simply some buttermilk in farm
er's cooling house. General Ewell en-
joyed some of that buttermilk, and his
soldiers fought for and won the spoil.
Having learned from the scouting bum
mers that there was buttermilk between
the lines, Ewell said aloud that can
teen of it would be a luxury that hot
day. Several Of his men hurried away
to the farm, but the Yankees had scout
ing bummers, too, and thirsty palates.
So there was q dash across the fields,
with shootinp on the run and q skir-
mish in the farmyard. The fracas was
over before the struggling men reached
the cellar, or Ewell might still have
missed his cooling sherbet The supply
would have been spilled probably. But
the graycoats won the skirmish and
filled their canteens, bearing one proud
" to their old general, who was to lead
them into battle within an hour, and fall
with q terrible wound.

The bloody battle
of Second Bull Run
A TELLTALE
DISPATCH.

as IL was IOuSnG
seems to have been due to accident
rather than plan. General W. B. Talia-
ferro, who was with Stonewall Jackson
throughout that campaign and COM
manded the Stonewall division, says
that it was due to a dispatch captured
from one of Pope's couriers. Jackson's
command was in a trap after he finish
ed the task Of loading up and destroy
ing the Federal stores at Manassas
Junction. Turn which way he would
he encountered enemies, but the route
to the west beyond the Warrenton turn
pike promised the best. Longstreet was
in that direction. marching toward the
Manassas plains to unite with jackson.
On the high ground west of the pike
Stonewall halted his command on the
28th of August and sent out strong re-
connoissances. One Of these parties,
says General Taliaferro, led by Bradley
r. johnson, captured q courier with
dispatch ordering the Federal divisions
to move on the junction in way to
bring them across Jaokson's front. On
receipt of the news Stonewall told his
generals to attack at once.
The order to attack was carried out
late in the day, and the battle was SO
stubborn that the Confederates remain
ed on the battlefield, which they had
won; overnight, and next day it was
too late for jackson to continue his
westward march any distance. The enc
my was all around him, and his only
hope lay in holding his ground until
Longstreet came to his relief.
: The chance affair on the Warrenton
pike that August afternoon was but
skirmish in comparison with the fight
ing of the goth and 30th. but to some
of the men engaged it had all the ex-
citement and terrors of battle Jack
sons attack was made upon Kings d.
vision as it was marching along War
renton pike. Kings center brigade was
the command which afterward became
noted as the Iron Brigade OF the West
It was then led by General John Glib
bon. The signal to battle for Gibbons
men was a volley Of shells from horse
battery which Jackson had planted on
ridge overlooking the pike. The second
regiment Of the four in line in the bri-
gade was ordered to charge the guns
This happened to be the Second Wiscon-
sin, and the moment the charging col
umn appeared above the crest of ridge
between the pike and the battery it re-
ceived volley Of bullets from line OF
Confederate infantry concealed in the
hollows.
The fourth regiment in Gibbons line
had never before been in fight. TWAS
the Nineteenth Indiana, led by Colonel
Sol Meredith. Gibbon ordered the 1ndi-
anians to support the Wisconsin boys i'll
their battle with the new enemy. but
the regiment had no sooner formed on
the left Of the Second Wisconsin than
another Confederate battery wheeled up
i on its flank and began to unlimber.
Meredith turned his line upon the bat
terry and its infantry supports. and for
half an hour his men fought like veter-
ans. In that short time 900 Of the 1ndi-
anians were shot down out Of 423 en-
gagged. A losing fight all around for the
Federals, it detained Jackson for day
and fixed the scene Of tho great conflict
at Groveton.

STORIES OF ......:
SECOND BULL RUN.
A CAMPAIGN OF Yhe campaign
CONFUSION. ~ a'as manassas aa~s - -

A CAMPAIGN OF Yhe campaign
...-.a.,- around Manassas in
CoNFUsloN' the closing days Of
August, 1862. was replete with stirring
incidents. Uncertainty hung over the
fate Of both armies, and where there are
doubt and confusion the usual dull pro-
gramme of war is-varied by combats
not down in the bills. In the face Of
Lees advance across the Rappahannock,
Pope set his army in motion from the
banks of that stream in general north
ward direction. Lee followed. Pope's
troops marched in retreat along two
sides of parallelogram, the northern
side Of which was Bull Run river. One
column covered in its march the rail
road running south from Alexandria,
used as Pope's line for supplies, Anoth-
er column utilized the Warrenton pike,
distant west of the railroad seven to ten
miles The region between the pike and
railroad and the river was the scene Of
Stonewall Jackson's maneuvers In the
strategical rear Of the Federal forces
Within that area isolated brigades or d.
visions Of, both armies, mounted and
dismounted, oollided without warning
as they marched by day and by night
from point to point, neither party able
to divine the intentions Of the enemy.
Pope's orders to his generals were in
tended to prevent the Confederates from
striking the railroad from the south
also from reaching Bull Run and the
points near it. But jackson suddenly
swooped down from the west and con:
centrated his corps around Manassas
Junction, the Federal base Of supplies.
This he burned, and the several scatter
ed corps of Federals were still more puz-
zled when they learned that Jackson
was north Of them, while their orders
kept them facing south for supposed
enemy. Orders were countermanded
again and again, and in compliance
with them troops marched few miles
in one direction, only to find that they
must double back over the same course,
and after few miles turn and go over
it the third time.
The confusion was equally great in
the Confederate lines. Jackson's hur-
ried plunge into the midst of three diff
ferent armies concentrating or trying
to concentrate around Pope's headquar-
ters, said headquarters being in the sad
die, rendered scouting and reconnois
sance useless as guides for the action OF
the foe. A Federal division located by
the scouts at night would be miles away
from the spot by daylight next morn
ing On the 9th, Jackson's right flank
fought Joe Hooker's division at the
crossing Of the railroad over Kettle run,
while his left flank engaged fresh troops
coming from Alexandria on the north,
at the Bull Run crossing. These fields
were over ten miles apart. Next day he
fought pitched battle at Groveton, on
the Warrenton pike, with troops of
Pope's army proper. In fact, jackson
had surrounded Pope's base by march.
