republication OF the subjoined story, by
John Esten Cooke, OF which Miss Russell
was the heroine The suggestion of
Major Cook that the scene upon which
the story was founded afforded the sub
ject for a great painting was quickly
seized upon. Mr.. Minor X. kellogg, an
eminent painter and the husband of Eliza
Logan, the celebrated actress, was on
visit to the Hon. John Wothered, at
Wetheredsyille, Baltimore county, who
was subscriber to the Winchester
Times. Mr. Kellogg read the sketch and
at once determined to transfer the scene
TO canvas. He visited Winchester, was
introduced TO the heroine of the story
who consented to give him the requisite
sittings I'm order that a correct picture
OF her might be secured. He also visited
the battlefield at Rutherfords farm.
four miles north of Winchester, and
faithfully sketched the surroundings.
Thus provided. Mr.. Kellogg went to his
home and, 1t is said produced a magni-
iicent painting, which was fancied by
northern mllnOnare ana now graceS his
private gallery. Another artist of repI-
tauon, Mr.. oregon X. Wilson. also read
the sketch and painted the picture, "A
Night on the Battlefield" which was on
exhibition at the Philadelphia Centen-
NAL. where it attracted much attention
and favorable comment. Ii was after

A Night on the Battlefield mt VIM
chester senfcmber 10, 1864


The thunder of the battle
At eve had passed away.
And on the field the dying
And sorely wounded lay.
a band Of southern women
Had come their friends TO seek,
To save the wounded pris ners,
To nurse and aid the weak.
Ger the wide field they sought them,
In pity and in woe,
The suffering gently tending.
ger dying bending low.
Beside the moaning soldier
A tender face appears,
That soOthes the warriors bed OF death
With woman's touch and tears.
One maiden found a STRIPPING.
Gasping there mid the dead.
And, sitting down beside him,
She raised his dying head.
Cooling his burning forehead,
a tender watch she kept
Soothed by those gentle fingers,
Ere long the STRIPPING slept.
Soon DER that field Of mourning
The autumn night came down,
And all the friends were gathered
To haste them to the town.
. Seeking the missing maiden,
They found her where she kept
Watch Ger the dying soldier;
And still the soldier slept.
The surgeon felt him gently,
And whispered meath his breath,
IF he sleeps on twill save him;
To waken him will be death"
A choice comes to each mortal.
To all men, soon or late.
At call Of some great duty,
To falter-or-be great.
Her friends stood gathered, waiting,
Urging in accents low,
She would not wake the soldier,
The maiden would not 90.
To town and camp her comrades,
And ell men else, were gone,
And on that awful field OF death
The maiden sat alone.
Sat, while the stars passed Ger her.
Sat, mid the chill night air;
But lone. and unprotected,
one heard the maiden's prayer.
The God in whom she trusted.
Smiled as her watch she kept;
Nor foe nor harm came near her;
And still the soldier slept.
On her soft lap the maiden.
Until the dawn was red,
All through the watches of the night,
Upbore the soldiers head.
When help came. as the morning
Dawned on that field or strife,

who are opposed to any attempt to
restrain by law the dumping OF saw.
dust, ETC., into our trout stream, we
quote the following from the San
Ffanch CO Chronicle Of April 4:
The supreme court delivered IN opin.
ion yesterday defining n public stream,
~ far rs the right Of taking fish Is con-
cerued.
The Trucko CO Lumber company has its
slNmllls on tho bank OF the Truclloe
river, stream that runs from Lake
Tahoe, in California, to Pyramid lake, in
the slate of Nevada. w. Il. III zgorald,
the attorney general, asked AN iuJnnc-
ton against the company. alleging that
it was permitting sawdust, shavings
and other refuse from iho mill to fail
into the river, thereby destroying tho
fish. The superior court granted the
injunction, from which tho defendant
appealed and the supreme court has
affirmed the order.
"The common right to take fish," said
the court, "extends not alone to navi-
gable waters. but exists AZ TO all wntors
the lards underlying which are not in
private ownership. While tho right OF
fishery upon ones own land In exclu-
sively in the riparian proprietor, this
docs not imply or carry the right to
