"Fall inl" fright dressl" A few
such words were spoken, little march
ing and wheeling into line, and that
pleasant valley was transformed by a
military pageant into battles dread
array" For two days the movement
ended with the formation of troops in
lines.
"What can it mean?" did our gen.
eral hesitate?" "Impossible!" "Are
more troops expected?" That's it."
''How humane not to lead 5000 or 10000
men to certain annihilation!" were COM
mon remarks by the soldiers.
On the day before the battle the move
ment was more extended. We were
moved across the farms up to the very
edge of the forest that hid the enemy
from view, and there, by whispered
commands. ordered to encamp for the
night. For the first time we "slept
upon our arms" and what dreams of
heroic deeds we had that night have
never been written. Tomorrow would
witness deadly conflict between blue
and gray; or possibly, and many
thought probably. we might be aroused
for night attack.
Comrade whispered to comrade the
words to be carried to dear ones at home
in the event of falling on the field of
battle; plans were discussed for mutual
assistance and defense in emergencies;
methods of approach to the enemy's
works adopted and rejected; plans OF
battle were laid. And so the weary
night wore on, while fitful sleep pressed
nomentarily upon weary lids as the full
moon slid up and then down the arch
way of the skies.
Before tie gray dawn had faded our
breakfast had been eaten and we had
e1ept into line on the one road that leo

LIS OPPOSITION TO WAR.
ChIna's Greatest General Is Preeminent'
" Man of Peace.

~ AAan OA EeACes
Ex-Secretary John W. Foster con-
tributes a sketch of 1.-The Viceroy Ii
Hung Chang" to the Century. Mr.. Fos-
ter says:
although the greatest general his
country has produced in this century.
he is prominently man of peace. Con-
fucius, whose disciple he is proud to call
himself, taught the folly of war, and the
practice of the government and Chinese
society in this respect is inspired by
his teachings. While Japan has exalted
the warlike spirit, and there the soldier
is the idol of the people, in China the
soldier is lightly esteemed, and always
takes rank below the literary class. But
Notwithstanding this peaceful spirit,
there is often n war party in China, and
on two or three memorable occasions
il has fallen to the lot of Niceroy Ii to
be placed in antagonism to it.
'The Kuldja question. about 1880,
brought the country to the brink of war
with Russia, and it was only by his most
cctive resistance to the war party at
Picking that a peaceful settlement was
reached. 1t is now well known that he
opposed the late hostilities with Japan.
The government of the latter during the
progress of the war obtained possession
of and published certain memorials to
the throne, dated in 1882, and forwarded
by the viceroy, which looked to the ul-
innate invasion of Japan; but at best
IT was merely Pm inchoate scheme and
probably encouraged by the viceroy to
aid his projects for the defense of the
approaches to Picking. He had better
knowledge of the military strength of
Japan and of the weakness of China
than any other of the emperor's adj
yisers, and he feared the consequences

CAME pAsH1NG DOWN THE ROAD.

softly, very steadily, without drumbeat,
we marched up the road into the forest
on that morning of battle. Presently
a clear bugle call rang out down the line
and at shat instant our major came
dashing down the road. swinging his
sword alOft, his whole aspect Geaming
with wild excitement. He shouted in
a shrin whisper: ''Back, men! Fall
back into the woods"
Quickly as 1 could l commanded:
HALT Left face-Forward, march,
Get over that log!"
Such a scramble! It was a great OAK,
which required some exertion to climb
over. All along the line in subdued
tones was heard the exclamation: 1.-THE
Black Horse Cavalry"
Where our major went or why he gave
the command l never knew. But after
we had remained clustered on both
sides and on top of our log rampant a
few minutes, the righteousness of our
position dawned upon US, and it was
then and there that my suspicious were
aroused that some of the members of
my company thought me coward.
So strongly did the feeling take hold
of me that L sought several occasions
afterward to give them a test of my
mettle.
Well, that's all there was of the battle
of Rich mountain SO far as we were con-
cerned, except to soon after march into
Tho abOpdon Oh yUOr.lxS of the enemy who
had fled on the approach of thanking
force, led by the brave Lander, around
the mountain during the night, and
reaching their rear just as morning
dawned. We were not accustomed to
bugle calls then, or we should not have
mistaken the call to halt for call Of
the Black Horse cavalry to charge
down a narrow mountain road upon the
lend" of a Unconditional Tribune.

Oh! this is my song to the Gray and Blue
Who once were so many and now are so few
The young ones, the bold ones,
The grim ones, the old ones,
The fighters who fought out those terrible
days,
Through the copses and dingles and dark
tangled ways,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
It was over the river Rapidan.
And slowly southwark the march began
Into the solitude,
Into the gloomy wood,
On, on, on, with a wide, straight sound,
Grinding and Earring the sodden ground,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
All hushed were the bosket-futes of May,
All sweet-voiced things had flown away,
Leaving Grant ard Lee
A desert and Destiny;
What time their batteries fioundered and
pounded,
And the bombs through the timber bumped
and bounded.
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the wilderness.
Tossing and swayfng. the hosts did go,
Blfndly buffeting, blow on blow,
Over the gray sand;
And far and near, amid brush and brier,,
Cracked the crisp, keen musket fire,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the wilderness.
H,ther and thither dashins in vain,.
Columns soaked in a bullet-rain,
Covered with battle-grime.
Daytime and night time,
Stumbled and fumbled on through the
maze,
And charged by the light of their powder
blaze.
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the wilderness.
Each man hero. cleaving his way.
Sheer through a phalanx of Blue or Of
Gray;
Back and forth, hack and forth,
East or west, south or north,
Plunging at death with shout and shot,
Where the ground rippled red and the air
painted hot,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
Oh! the heroes who died and the brave who
came forth
Were the soul of the south and the heart
of the north;
And the strong sons they sired,
Stand by the guns they fired,
Build on the battle-spOts affairs of stoner
And one old minstrel goes singing along,
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.
And so take my song to the Gray and the
Blue,
Oh! once they were many and now they are
few:
Here's to the bold ones.
The grizzled and old ones,
WhoI fought through the solitude man to
man,
Eouthward away from the Rapidan.
Down in the Wilderness
Down in the Wilderness.

Used Bottled Breath.

Mountain climbers will be interested
to learn of the successful experiments
Of DR.. Berson, of Stassfurt, who by
means of bottled breath" has been en-
abled to ascend to great heights, both
on land and in balloon. The doctor,
when endeavoring to get further above
the level Of the sea than anyone else
has ever climbed or down, carries along
a cylinder of compressed, oxygen, fitted
with a tube for breathing. Whenever
he experiences discomfort on account of
the rarity of the atmosphere a few
whiffs from the cylinder sufices to re-
store him.
DIR. Berson, by means of this device,
recently assembled to an altitude of 81
800 feet, which is 1000 feet higher than
the summit of Mount Everett.

THE Willy SEAL.
How He Manages to Catch ses GoIls
UnRWRres.

The seal is probably the elumsiest an
final in the world, says the New York
Recorder. He likes to bask in the sun
ull day and when he moves he is exceed
ingly sluggish and awkward. It has
often been wondered how this animal
manages to secure it's favorite food,
wild sea fowl.
Sea gulls are so wild that it is diff
cult even for man to get within gunsffot
of one. The seal seems to realize that
it would be q waste of time to attempt
TO crawl up on the gulls as they rest
upon the water and catch them una
wares. So he watches until the gul1s
are soaring slowly through the air and
close to the waves. Then the seal dives
into the sea and swims underneath the
water for some distance. BY the time
lie has managed to swim about 100 feet
the gull has forgotten the presence of
It's enemy. This gives the seal his cp-
pertunity. He cautiously rises to the
surface of the water at some distance
from the point at which he dived, and
allows merely the tip of his great nose
70 appear above the water.
Remaining in this position, he gives
Els enormous body a rotary motion, so
that his nose describes . circle on the
surface of the ocean. he does this so
skillfully that to the gull his nose Looks
like a fish at play. This catches the
gals eye, and it at once darts down
with the speed of an arrow. aiming
straight for the little dot. The seal
aces it coming and sinks a few inches.
and as the gull strikes the water with
tremendous force the seals jaws close
upward and the gull disappears.

FOSSIL MEAL.
A New German Product Which Has Many
Uses.

A New German Product Which Has Many
Uses.
A new product, called fossil meal, is
being introduced from Germany for pre-
venting the loss of heat from radiation
which takes place to 50 large an extent
from the uncovered surfaces of boilers,
steam pipes, cylinders, and steam plant
generally. 1t consists of infIsorlal
earth, obtained from certain mines in
Hanover, combined with other sub
stances to secure greater strength and
eohesiveness. This infusorial earth is
composed of millions of minute organ
isms, whose hollow form gives to the
fossil meal its high porosity, and con-
sequently it's n0n-conducting power.
The use of this material, however, is
not confined to the manufacture of nom
conducting composition for steam pipes
and engine ana boiler surfaces. It is
used in safe making as fire-resisting
compound, and by explosive manu-
facturers in the production ofdynamite.
1t is in demand for cold storage pur-
poses, for covering cold pipes from con-
tact with the warmer external air. 1t
is also employed in chemical manu-
facture, as a preventive against damp;
for cleaning glass and metal; as a tooth
paste; it is made up into plotting paper,
and it is employed in the manufacture
of sealing wax. 1t makes up into a
friedrich of one-ffth the ordinary
weight, with a fire-resisting quality
equal to that of quartz. 1t has many
other uses, one of which is filtration
and it is being utilized for the domestic
publication of water.

Worked Out on a>BarreI Head.

Some time in 1860, team was driven
up to the village store at Hazel Green,
Ill. The driver entered and told the
merchant he would take those hides"
While he waited for his purchase to be
weighed and loaded in the wagon, with
a handful OF corn taken from the bin,
he seated himself by a barrel and
ranged the kernels as regiments and
brigades in line of battle, on opposite
sides, in all sorts of positions. He would
move his lines forward, or by the
flank, advancing and retreating, manag-
ing thus both armies, and working out
his problem of attack and defense. 1t
was said that he would be absorbed for
hours in one of these studies. and never
quit until the mimic battle with his
grains of corn was decided one way or
the other. In this manner he fought
over the great battles of the past, and
imaginary battles of the future. The
quiet man with the stubby, sandy hair
and short mustache was Ulysses S.
Grant.-Washington Post.

: BY FIRE.
BURNING LIQUOR SCATTERED.

Two Warehouses, of the Pleasure
Ridge Distiliefy Included in the
Property Destroyed.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2S-The
two three-story warehouses, Nos. d!
and 3, of the Pleasure Ridge Park Dis
tillery company, were totally destroyed
by fire this morning with llttheir con-
tents, consisting Of upwards Of $4,000
barrels Of whisky, a portion of the
distilleTy machinery the office of the
company and number Of books in
which the government accounts are
kept. The fire originated in an, ele-
vator which stood outside of Ware
house No. 3, and was used to convey
barrels to the top floor OF the ware
house. 1t is supposed to have been
caused by spark blown from one of
the smokestacks of the distillery prop.
er.
The plant was equipped with q fire
service, but, as the fire started forty-
five feet from the ground, the streams
could not reach the flames. The fire
spread to the barrels inside the build
ing, and in less than ten minutes the
first barrel exploded, throwing burn
ing whisky all over the place, and put
tingithe fire beyond control. The wind
was blowing gale and famed the
flames to a great height Warehouse
NO. ! was forty feet away, and it, too
was soon in flames THE efforts of the
employees was then directed toward
saving the dtstillery- proper. and, as
that was on the windward side of the
fire, they were able TO cut off the
flames from it, The cooper shop
burned to the ground in less than
twenty minutes
The total loss is about $425, 600. OF
