This article would not be COM
.plete without recouuting the fact
that the companies actively engage
ed in this memorable fight consist
ed of portions of the 25th, 3lst and
10th Virginia, and the 18th Geor-
gia. We modestly refrain from
speaking of the bravery of cur Vir-
ginia soldiers displayed on this oc-
casion, yet to express their senti-
ment we will say that no drawer
men ever faced the fire of the blue
than those wLo comprised the 18th
Georgia. In this battle they were
right on the brow of the hill, ex-
posed at all times to the continual
fire of the Yankee forces who occu-
pied better position and would
tire and fall back under protection
In conclusion we wish to say that
t any gloat over the horrors of this
bloody struggle, let us remem Der

the Republican candidate, but he is a
friend of his boyhood and an army COM
rade,
Mr. Osborne's mother and the majors
mother were sisters. The two boys went
to school together at the old academy at
Poland, o., and the warm friendship
which was then built up still exists. They
enlisted at the same time and went to the
front in the same regiment. Osborne who
was little older than Mckinley and of a
less hardy constitution, could not stand
the harlships of the camp and field and
fell a victim to typhoid fever. He was sent
home. and on his recovery, although he re
turned to his regiment, was unable to
make for himself the distinguished record
which his cousin did.
At the close of the war he went to Ann
Arbor, Mich, and took course in the
law school. Then he returned to Ohio and
practiced law at Youngstown He became
active in politics there and was elected
mayor in 1874 In 1850 he removed to
Boston, which was the home of his wife s
parents Mrs. Osborne was formerly Miss
Francis Clara Hastings. When Mr. Has
tings died, his widow and Mr. and Mrs
Osborne spent several years in Europe, and
on their return Mr.. Osborne settled per-
manently in Boston.
He soon began to take an active interest
in city politics and in 1888 was elected to
the common council. He served with such
success that he was appointed year later
as member of the metropolitan police
board After serving for three years Com
missioner Osborne was reappOinted by Gov
ernor Ames for IA term of five years. After
leaving the police board he continued to
take an active part in municipal campaigns
and was one of those who engineered the
election of Mayor Hart.
Mr.. Osborne is frequently called Cen
eral, " title which he has vainly tried to
get rid of. g. WAS a private" he declares,
land am proud Of it, because there are
but few of us left l have never been "A
military officer of any kind " Yet the title
has stuck to him, and more than half his
friends still call him General" Osborne,
although he occasionally enters a weary
protest. He is quiet, unaSsuming man
and is very popular with New England Re
publicans.

TWO FAMOUS WIVES.
WOMEN IN WHOM THE AMERICAN
PUBLIC is INTERESTED.

IL Seems That Mrs Bryan and Mrs. Sew
all Have Not Much In Common-The
Former Is Active and Aggressive; the
Latter is Retiring and Shuns Society.
The wives of the two Democratic stand
ard bearers are women of an entirely diff
ferent type While Mrs. Bryan is a studi-
Gus, retiring but energetic and highly in
tellectual woman with advanced ideas,
who is both an orator and a lawyer, Mrs.
Sewall is refined woman of artistic
tastes who lacks that aggressive deter
mination which led Mrs. Bryan to wade
through dusty volumes in order to be
thorough helpmeet to her husband Mrs.
Bryan is young and in the full vigor Of
womanhood. Mrs. Sewall is somewhat
older and is almost an invalid, being a
sufferer from a nervous malady which pre-
vents her from taking prominent place
in society. While Mrs Bryan has been
compelled to practice economy ever since
her marriage, Mrs Sewall has enjoyed
the advantages of wealth and position all
her life.
Mrs. Bryan's maiden name was Mary K.

chant of Perry, Ills, and she was given
every advantage to develop the unusually
fine mind which she early gave evidence Of

Presence of Mind.

A person who knows exactly the right
thing to do in II sudden emergency, without
stopping to think at all, deserves to have
his presence of mind noted and commend
ed. A German drum major has lately
attained such distinction, with good rea-
son.
A regiment of the imperial army, rest
ing on country road, was appalled, to SEQ
a great bull madly pursuing little child
In field which was near by and yet so
far away that the child could not he reach
ed in time to save it, nor yet saved by the
shooting of the animal.
The bull had his horns down, and all
the soldiers were Mortified to see that in
another moment the child must be gored
to death. For an instant no one seemed
to know what to do, and then the drum
major shouted to the buglcrs of the band
who stood near with their Instrument,
in their ha Is to sound u loud blast. They
looked aghast
sound say, for Gods sake, to save
the child"' hc repeated
Then the buglcrs blew blast at the TOT
of their lungs, The drum major knew
that animals of the COW kind are 50 mucf
affected by strange and high pitched mu
steal sounds that they seem compelled t.
initiate them This bull proved to be NJ
exception to the rule.
A soon as he heard the buglc blast h,
paused in his urauit of the child, glancct
toward the band, raised his head and be
gan to below madly The buglcrs k, pt
up rs high and diScordant a tumult as they
could, and meantime soldiers were run
ming to the rescue of the child.
Before the hrll had finished his atten
ton to the huqlcs the child was in a plac,
of safety. Companion.

USE OF The SENSES.
Habit and Experience Play Part In SEQ
ing and Hearing.


If we ask ourselves Just how it is that
we see, hear and receive impressions from
the senses, we shall soon discover two
things The first is that the explanations
tive see with our eyes, " 1--WE hear with
our ears" etc, is not quite satisfactory.
1t is easy enough to explain how certain
rays of light impingo on the retina of the
eye and certain waves of air on the drum
of the ear, but how these purely physical
things are converted into purely psychical
things of sight and hearing no one can ex-
plain.
Our second discovery will he that it Is
not by the eye alone that we see or by the
ear alone that we hear. Memory, or rather
experience or habit, plays II great part in
all sensations, though we do not often
notice it unless our attention is drawn to
the fact by some circumstance that puts
experience at fault and thus produces u
sense illusion.
Have you ever noticed, for instance, how
experience helps you to recognize the posi-
ton of soundsY If one ilHde noise at a
little distance from you, you could instant
ly tell from what direction it came, because
experience hls taught you to judge of this
matter through the very slight difference
in the intensity of sound in your two ears.
An experiment will readily prove this.
Stop up tie left CT i"nly with cotton
wool and 90 into a dark room with some
one else who carries a bell Let the other
person strike the bell i'm different parts OF
the room, yourself remaining still. NJ

seem to you to sound on your right side
even though it may actually be near IT,,
left ear. Persons deaf in one car can nc> el
tell whence a sound comes 1t taxes two
/ ears to do this.
How far experience is our helper il
vision may he appreciated when it is re
membcrcd that the image OF anything W,
sec is received by the eye Upside down, yc
our constant experience has so habituatcC
/ us to the fact that we never know it.
1t is IA sort of experience illusion whicl
makes the telegraph posts during rail
way journey appear to move backward, n
though they, too were in motion. We ar
not accustomed to move so fast. 1t /
easier for the brain to think that some
thing else moves. OF course the most ia
miliar instance of this class of illusion
however, is the phenomena of sunrise an,

lie schools of her native town she went, at
the age of Is, to Jacksonville, Ills, where
she entered the annex of the state college
Mr. Bryan entered the institution at the
same time, and their acquaintance was
soon begun. They graduated together,
each with honors, and both were the vale
dictorians of their respective classes.
While Mr.. Bryan was studying law at
the close of his college career Miss Baird
returned to jacksonville and took post
graduate course. Then they were married
and removed to Lincoln, Neb, where Mr..
Bryan sat patiently down in little Office
to wait for clients. Mrs Bryan resolved
to keep him company by studying law her
self. She proved an apt pupil and two
years after her marriage was admitted to
the Nebraska state bar. The society WON
en- of Lincoln looked upon her as a good
deal of a curiosity at first, but after her
husband had been successful in politics and
had been elected to congress they found
that the brown haired, brown eyed little
woman was very kindly, unaffected and
entertaining
Mrs. Bryan cares nothing for society or
fashion and pays little attention to either.

And out of sight is out of mind;
The easy tears soon cease 10 flow
When lifc's before AMI loves lehind-
Aye, love, while still your eyes are wet
You will forget
You will forgct-in other years
when you behold that white star shine
We see so dimly through the tears;
when you shall pass these doors of mine,
Or that dear spot whore first we met
You will forget
You will forget-lot me love on;
You have Leon all in all to me;
So when the paSt is dead and gone,
Like some fine golden phantasy,
Let me love ON, to pay my debt
You will forget.

When Manning in 1861, wanted to get
into relations with Newman (seeing that
the absolute separation was damaging to
the Catholic cause as indicating division
in the churchD, Newman wrote HIM frank
ly that he d--tru,tcd him and could not
get over rs distrust He said pointcdly
that there was no short cut TO IA restoration
of confidence, but that new deeds only
could reverse the old. Manning answered
with tn quoquc, quoting Newman 5
words TO him, d" have felt you difficult
to understand and that your words have
not prepared me Tor your acts. The up
shot OF the correspondence was a final brief
note from Newman saying to Manning:
81 do not know whether am on my head
or my heels when | have active relations
with you. In spite of my friendly feelings
this is the Judgment of my intellect. "
This terminated all Intercourse for years
