An Echo from Across the Sea-
A Peculiar Presenfiment and
ITS HaDDy RcSuIt.-That some neo-


pie are, at times, possessed ora certain inner
consciousness OF presentiment of things
which are going to happen, is almost
recognized fact-it is one of natures mystic
ries. The following case, related by Mr..
Karl Barkholz, of Pewaukee, Wis, in a
letter dated December /, 1895, is a striking
illustration:
DIR. PETER FAHRNEY, Chicago, Ill.
DEAR SIR: know you will be pleased
to get this letter. You, no doubt recollect
that you sent some time ago, through your
agent in Germany, at my request, SIX large
bottles of DIR. Peters Blood Vitalizer to my
sister, Mrs. William Heinke, Wildkuhl.
Mecklenburg- Schwerln. / have Just re-
ceiyed letter from her. reporting that four
bottles of that medicine perfected COM
plete cure in her case She says she is lack
ing In words to express her joy for the cure
brought about by your valuable remedy.
She had been suffering for almost fourteen
years, and the last few years had been I'M
able to leave her bed. All hope of her re-
covery had been given up, according to let
tiers which i received from near relatives.
- think the circumstances of this case
most singular. / received a copy of your
paper, The Surprise, purely by accident. and
after reading same, / became possessed of a
certain peculiar feeling or presentiment, if 1
so may term it, that your remedy was to be
the medicine that was to cure her. 1t was
that which led me to give it trial. and
now you see it has all been fulfilled. / con-
sidered it my duty to write to you about
the case"
The record of DIR. Peters Blood vitalizer
shows an unbroken line of success in the
treatment of blood and constitutional dis
orders. 1t has been in constant use for over
one hundred years, and is ever gaining in
popularity. 1t cannot be obtained in drug
stores, but only of local agents, or from the
proprietor direct For further particulars

--Shaksper6.
In the Spring of 1865 the Fifth Corps,
under Warren, was on the left of the Army
OF the Potomac. On the morning of March
29 these troops moved from their camp and
crossed Rowanty Creek at Monks Neck
Bridge. on the road leading 10 Dinwidaie
Courthouse. Reaching the Quaker road,
which leads in a northeast directIol to the
Boydien Plank road, the Second and Third
Divisions proceeded some distance along it,
and then took position facing nearly west

tance toward Dinwiddie, retraced their steps,

MAP OF BATTLE OF FIVE FORKS.

The dispatches show that while Meade
was impatient TO have our left extended as
lar and as fast as possible, so as to aid Sheri-
dan. he was also very positive in requiring
Warren to hold his strongest division-the
FIrst-in position TO support the Second
Corps on his right The probable reason is
that the Fifth Corps was composed mainly
OF veteran troops, while a considerable num-
Der OF the Second were new men. Hum
phreys says about 5000 Of them only re-
ceived their arms two days before.
At p. m. on the Both Warren sent word
to Meade that if Humphreys could take care
of the position then held by his First Divis-
ion. he could then take his whole corps and
block the White Oak roadn This was in
reply to Meade's suggestion that he should
extend farther 10 the left" He had already
developed so far TO the left that little later
Meade found fault that he had gone too far.

trenched picket-line could hold the ground
from Ayres TO Humphrey. This latter
point was demonstrated on the 3lst, when
Pattee, who commanded il, held the line
against front attack until the pits were
completely ianked by the force advancing
on the flank and rear
Returning to the events Of the 3lst, the
purpose was TO drive the enemy's pickets
across the White Oak road, and Ayres was
instructed accordingly. The attempt did
not bring on the battle which ensued.
While Ayres was preparing for reconnois-
sance the enemy was preparing for some
thing more serious. Screened by the rain,
fog and thick brush, they rapidly pushed a
strong force in on the left and rear of Ayres.
and at TO a. m, when Ayres was beginning
to press their skirmishers along the road,
they made furious attack on his left flank,
while strong force attacked in 'front.'

A Daring Reconnaissance.

soon rallied and charged on us. We sue

A Forced March.
". III. III. Barker, Sd Iowa Cav, Chicago,
writes: There appeared in your columns
challenge to any comrade to report the long
est and most trying forced march Of the war.
Allow me 10 report one. The great battle
of Pea Ridge, Ark, was fought on the 9th
and 18th of March, 1862, under Gen. S. X.
Curtis, and a victory gained that effectually
broke the power OF the COnfederacy in tRat
quarter. To reach this point and take part
in the battle, Col. Cyrus Bussey, late Assist
ant Secretary of the Interior, marched his
command distance of 200 miles in four
days, over rough, muddy roads, considered
usually impossible. 1t was considered at the
time most prodigious feat, and ranks yet
as one of the wonderful exploits OF the war.
Ii there is march ON record that exeels it,
all things considered, we challenge its pro-
duction. 1t is certainly an unique and mar
velous feature of that mighty conflict"

DOG WITH A CONSCIENCE.
Remorse, They Say, Drove 1t to Conn
init Suicide by Hanging.

NLOnlOn IeleBTdpn-)
1t has often been debated by casulsts
whether dogs have a conscience for any
thing except a bone. This question has
now been happily solved for all time by
the conduct Of one at Penge. who betrayed
90 much remorse at having brought a
police summons TO a kind masters house
that, unable to suffer longer the "slings
and arrows" Of an outraged conscience, he
went and hanged himself.
While the dog was receiving its matuu-
nal tub at the hands of a servant in the
household OF Mr.. Partridge II escaped and
ran out of the place for a frolic, but a
vigilant policeman. who was passing at
the time, saw that II possessed no muzzle.
and attempted TO capture II. The animal
at once realized the terrible error 1t had
committed and the trouble its gambols
were likely 10 bring upon its owner, and
ran back to the house. II was too late;
the injury had been done. As soon as the
dog saw the blue summons paper delivered
Il ended it's days rather than face the
ordeal.
The owner was represented at the Penge
Sessions by his private secretary. who eX-
planned the circumstances TO the magis-
trates, adding. with the due soien-
nifty which the case warranted, that abe
animal committed suicide the next day out
of sheer remOrse."

did he give himself a long drop?"
"Quite sufficient for the purpose, an
swered the private secretary; the fact IS,
that after its escapade we kept 1t tied up,
and II jumped clean through an open win
dow with the rope round its neck, and was
only found when life was extinct, its feet
a few inches from the ground"
It's owner was nevertheless fined shill-
lngs, with shilllngs pence costs. And
this was the end Of dog with a con-
science. An ordinary mongrel would have
treated the affair in less serious man
ner
