Resting on one knee at his side, General
Gordon read the letter.
"Now please take out ono and read it
to me. They are from my wife. I wish
that her words shall be the last hear
in this world.' sr. vi
Resting on one knee at his side, Gen.
eral Gordon, in clear tones, but with
fearful eyes, read the letter. It was the
missive of noble woman to her worthy
husband, whom she knew to be in daily
peril of his life, and with pious fervor
breathed prayer for his safety ara
commended him to the care Of the God
of battles. AS the reading Of the letter
ended General Barlow said: '.Thank
you. Now please tear them all up I
would not have them read by others. ~
General Gordon tore them into frag-
ments and scattered them on the field
"shot sown and bladed thick with
steel" Then, pressing General Bar
lows hand, General Gordon babe him
goodby, and, mounting his horse, quick
ly joined his command. ~
He hastily penned a note on the
pommel Of his saddle, giving General
Barlow's message to his wife,. but
stated that he was still living, though
seriously wounded, and informing her
where he lay. Addressing the note to
"Mrs. General Barlow, at General
Meade's Headquarters, . he handed it to
one of his staff and told him to place a
white handkerchief upon his sword and
ride in gallop toward the enemy's
line and deliver the note to Mrs. Bar
low. The officer promptly obeyed the
order. He was not fred upon, and, on
being met by Union officer who. ad-
vanced to learn his business, he present.
ed the note, which was received and
read with the assurance that it should
be delivered instantly. .F1t
Let us turn from Gettysburg to the
capital, Washington, where, II years
later, General Gordon held with honor,
as now, seat as senator of the United
States, and was present at a dinner
party given by Orlando B. Potter, q
representative in congress from New
York.

I should add that on receiving her
husband 8 note, which had been speed
lily delivered, Mrs. Barlow FASTENED to
the field, though not without danger to
her person, for the battle was still in
progress. She soon found her husband
and had him borne to where he could
receive surgical attendance.
Through her devoted ministrat!ons he
was enabled to resume his command of
the Excelsior brigade and add to the
splendid reputation which it had
achieved under General Sickles, its first
commander. Il

Steel mills are fairly well filled with orders,

CHICAGO. March 6.-The storm which

Thursday night stands unparalleled
not only for the great extent OF terri

Weather bureau amounted to o.ss

almost every telegraphic station from
Pittsburgh on the east TO Kansas City
on the west, and from the lakes to the
northern boundary of Tennessee. In
some instances the wind reached the
velocity Of hurricane, and much dam
age to dwellings,, barns, fences, or
chards and forests has been reported
from various points throughout the
district. At Cairo, Ill, several build
inQs were unroofed and one dwelling
was blown down, causing the death

the damage to railroad property in the
form of washouts, making traffic inn
possible, and in the wrecks caused by
the softening of the roadbed, is inn
mense. A not inconsiderable loss to
the people, as a whole, will be caused
by the washing away of bridges and
roadways, which have been built up in
the rural districts at cost of millions
of dollars, and which in many cases
have heen totally destroyed. Owing
to the decentralization of railway
traffic, the mails local to the deluged
districts have been greatly delayed,
while the through service over the
trunk lines, east and west and north
and south, has been badly crippled,
greatly to the annoyance of the vast
business interests involved.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The failure
of President Cleveland to sign three
appropriation bills, the sundry civil,
agricultural and Indian, and the ina
bility of congress to agree upon the
general deficiency bill, will entail
much unexpected work upon the extra
session of the new congress and pos
sibly may delay, to some extent, the
enactment of the new tariff law. The
regular appropriations for government
service and public works carried by all
of these bills except the deficiency
are for the fiscal year beginning July

bills it will be necessary that
they be re-enacted before that time, or
that resolutions be passed continuing

A FRENCH doctor claims that in order
TO modify the sounds of the human
voice one has only to inhale the vapors
Of certain liquids and essences. Thus,
inhalations of curacao, according to
Dr. Sandras, will raise the voice two
notes, the aspiration of absinthe will
add one high and two low notes.
There are other vapors that are said to
be even more efficacious. For instance,
there are kerosene and turpentine and
strychnine. The effect of the latter,
according to the doctor, is positively
marvellous. He claims that it raises
the voice no fewer than five
notes.

THE record of railway accidents print
ed every year by the Railroad Gazette
shows decrease of fatalities in 1895,
and also demonstrates how safe trav-
eler really is on modern railway
train. For instance, 1876 passengers
were killed last year, but the train
mileage was S34, 100000 This means
that on the average passenger can
travel over 5000, 900 miles before being
killed in railway accident: or, to put
it in another way, he can travel back
and forth between New York and San
Francisco as frequently as the trains
will carry him about 80 years before
his fatal accident is due.

RIDDuED WITH BULLETS.
A Texas Mob Makes Short Work of n Negro
Accused of Theft.

AUSTIN, Tex, March g. News
reached the city yesterday that a mob
on Thursday night had attacked and
literally riddled with bullets a negro
at Elgin, a small town near here. Two
negroes were arrested Thursday night
for burglary. About midnight one
negro was taken out of the calaboose
to an adjoining store for the purpose of
''peaching" as to how the work was
done. While there a man rushed in
and informed the sheriff that a mob
was storming the Jail to capture the
other negro. The sheriff rushed to the
rescue just as three masked men en-
tered the store and literally riddled
the negro with bullets.
