THE LAS BUGLE CHARGE.
1t Was Ounde by n BuEler Now Liv-
ing in Missouri.
St. Louis Globe Democra

ST. Louis GlObe-Democrat.
TIL bugler who blew the last charge
of the civil war lives in Maryville. When
the war broke out Nathaniel SiSSon enlisted
in the Second West Virginia Cavalry. He
ment through many a perilous struggle,
and the year 1865 found him. under Clusters
command. in that part of the field where
hostilities were formally ended.
We had been pursuing Lees retreating
army all day on the sth of April. 1867 said
Mr.. Sisson. "On that day we had captured
and sent out from Richmond. We also
made quick work of a belated wagon train,
ing. went into camp. After lying on our
arms all night. we were called early, and
before daylight were in the saddle, ready
for the events of the most glorious day of
the war. The trouble began at an early
hour. We. advanced and met the enemy's
skirmish Sne. brushing them before us
apparently, on Lees wagon train, but, in
stead. We soon found ourselves headed
through Lees army. Then the last bugle
command of a hostile nature was blown,
and we were charging at them. AS We
rushed on, two OF General GOrdon'S aids
rode out. They carried a flag. of truce.
That practically ended the war"
This historic flag of truce. mentioned by
Mr.. Sisson. was the dirty towel so humor-
ously referred to by General Gordon in his
lectures on The Last Days of the Confed-
eracy." The towel, though soiled as badly
as the drying apparatus in a country print
ing Office, was so much cleaner than any
of the apparel worn by the march-stained
men that it seemed white in comparison.
The display of so dirty a rag was the sig
nal of triumph for the North, and a silent
declaration that the country was reunited.
"A federal officer rode out 10 meet the
truce bearers continued Mr.. SiSSon.
Meanwhile Custer rode at the head of his
charging column, entirely ignorant of the
proffered truce. The aids spurred their
horses and overlook Custer, who ordered
the column to halt. The moving line stop
ped and the dashing Custer rode back TO
General Gordon's headquarters. While
terms of surrender were being discussed a
squad of Confederate cavalry dashed into
the front of the Union ranks. Gordon has
tened TO send them command to cease hos
~tilities. but found himself without an aid.
He DISPATCHED a willino federal soldier,
who bore Gordon's order to end the at
tack. This was the gallant Southern gen.
erals last official direction of the war, and
it was executed by a soldier from the OPP
posing ranks.
Cluster came back from Gordon's tent
alone. AS he passed we heard him tell Cen
eral Kapehart, uncovering his head the
while. that General Lee was treating for
capitulation. Those of us who heard IL set
up a cheer. 1t was carried down the line
and across the valleys until the very hills
shook with the shouts of joy from the
throats of thousands of the boys in blue,
who realized that the war was over"
Bugler Sisson does not claim that he blew
the last order of war; but his regimental
historian gives him the credit for it, and
facts bear out the statement.

There has always been much difference Of
opinion as to when one woman is justified
in getting up and giving her seat in a street
car to another woman. Some assert that
IL is the prerogative OF youth to stand, and
on general principles this is true. The only
trouble is that there * a particular princi-
pie involved. This concerns just what
youth is. Women of apparently the same
years nave been seen to squabble quite bel
ligerently as TO which. by right of years,
was entitled to sit or stand in a street car.
1t is noticeable, though. ii is generally the
standing that is the point of dispute.
When one woman past youth wants to
make another woman past youth feel par
ticularly happy there is no surer way Of
doing so than by letting her stand in a
street car, and vice versa Seriously,
though. il is a question whether any wom-
an this side of her second childhood feels
complimented at another woman assuming
tina she has the advantage of years and
is hence better able to stand. There is an
other side 10 the thing. too. "Of course, l
dislike to see a gray-headed woman stand
in a street car" said a young woman the
other day. And. of course. I believe in
getting up and giving such a one my seat,
but at the same time l believe in drawing

strong prices prevail. Sugar still has an advanc-

lower than common potatoes ordinarily. Apples
