a slight idea of the rigid rules of war
like discipline. But on the whole they
did well.
1t was one balmy September evening,
just that time of the year when the cool
breeze is laden with the rich odors of
the dying leaves and full of an exhil-
arating crispness that seems to fill
ones blood with dreams of love and
happiness. The moon was just peeping
from behind bank of clouds resting
on the crests of the Blue Ridge, and the
line of light crept down the sides and
crawled across the fields of waving
insects. About in the field were scat
tered the white tents of the confed-
crates, and beneath them the tired men
were deep in slumber.
One of the most ignorant men had
been put out as a picket, and for hours
he trod his beat, watching with eager
eye the lights from the distant farm
houses, lest some fire of an enemy's
camp break out into the gloom. The
| air was warm and fragrant, and the
soldiers mind was full of the romance
of the situation.
Presently the moon sank behind the
dark pillows of the cloud bank and the
world was wrapped in silence and dark
ness. But in each bush there sparkled
a glow-worm, and about in the air cir
culated some of the bright insects
known as lightning bugs" whose tiny
tail is seemingly pointed with fire.
Now the sentry suddenly became
alarmed and gave the signal, and the
camp was soon in turmoil. The men
hastily awakened from their sleep, be
gan to saddle up, and were full of de.
light at the thought of meeting the
enemy, whose campfires, so the senti
mel said, had just cleaned out from g
distant hill.
The men were ranged up to begin
their march, the colonel exhorted then
that this was the time to win theil
spurs," and all was excitement, wheI
the senthel crept up to the colonel.
Colonel" said the fellow in "a dis
comfited voice, "I am mighty sorry
but have made a mistakc-there is NJ
campfire of the enemy-it's a lightning
bug-you see, am a bit near-sighted,'
and the men crept back to hide unde,
the flap of the desolate tent. while tn,
disgruntled men took themselves agail
to slumber.-Philadelp Times.

SILVER PARTY CANDIDATES.
Teller, Harris and Hatch Talked of by
White Metal Advocates.

Teller, Harris and Hatch Talked of by
White Metal Advocates.
The do or die silver men have finished
one of their many conferences, have
prepared for another of their many
conventions, and have gone home. The
convention, as is generally known, is
to nominate nonpartisan free silver
candidate for the presidency. There
is great deal of discussion about
Washington to-day, amusing and seri-
Gus, as to the forthcoming ticket. Some
of the members of this conference still
hope that Senator Teller, who has here
tofore been faithful to the republican
party organization, will remember GER
tain threats he has recently made, and
will join them in their campaign.
Senator Teller has frequently said
that if in the coming campaign the
republican party adopted a single
standard OF gold platform he would
| refuse to vote with it. If he leaves his
party he will undoubtedly be the first
choice of the silver party for president.
The talk of Sibley, of Pennsylvania, has
slowly subsidized, and the only mention
Of him is now for second place upon
the ticket. Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see, who is one of the most ardent sill
YER democrats, has been sick at his
home in this city during the week,
