of saving the many by sacrificing the
few. l had heard of that white horse
man several times in the course of the
morning. He had been seen again and
again galloping back and forth over the
narrow field which was the scene OF
this strange combat. For all that we
read of daring deeds in war, such Incl

that was my experience during three
years service in the army of the Poto-
mac. l had heard of such things in
thrilling accounts of older wars, but
had come to the conclusion that they
were imaginary pictures. To have such
a spectacle under my own eyes and al
most at the end OF my rifle barrel, was
something startling. l fully intend

the best chance so as to be sure not to
throw away a shot, but as 1 waited he

defiant phalanx, paused for an instant;
then faced his stecd toward us as
though to advance and strike our wall
upon the flank of the battery, thus
avoiding the fire. While my eye was
still upon him he pointed with hissword
toward the murderous cannon, which
just at that instant sent another shot
crashing through the ranks of the re-
treating men in gray. HIS horse rose
majestically upon his hind feet and for
a moment there was n martial eques-

From the New Era, Greensbure. Ind
The st, Paul correspondent for the New
Era recently had an item regarding the case
Of Mabel Stevens, who had just recovered
from serious illness of rheumatism and
nervous trouble, and was able to be out for
the hrst time in three months. The letter
stated that it was very bad case and her
recovery was such surprise to the neigh.
bors that it created considerable gossip.
Being anxious to learn the absolute facts
IN the case, q special reporter was sent to
have talk with the girl and her parents
They were not at home, however, being some
distance away. A message was sent to Mr.
Stevens, asking him to write UP full his,
tory OF the case, and few days ago the fol-
lowing letter was received from Mrs.
Stevens:
ST. PAUL, IND, Jan. 20, 1897.
Editors New Era, Greensburr. Ind
DEAR SlRS: Your kind letter received
and l am glad to have the opportunity to
tell you about the sickness and recovery Of
Mabel. We don't want any newspaper
notoriety, but in case like this where few
words Of what have to say may mean re-
coyery for some child, l feel it my dutyto
tell you of her case.
1.-Two years ago this winter Mabel began
complaining OF pains in her limbs, princi-
school, and had to walk about three quar-
teri. of a mile each day, going through all
kinds OF weather. She was thirteen years
old and doing SO well in her studies that l
dislIked to take her from school, but we had
10 do it.
For several months she was confined to
the house, and she grew pale and dwindled
down to almost nothing. Her legs and arms
were drawn up and her appearance was
pitiful. Several doctors had attended her,
but 1t seemed that none of them did her
any good. They advised US to take her to
the springs, but times were 80 hard we could
not afford it, although we finally managed
TO get her to the Martinsville baths. Here
she grew suddenly weaker, and it seemed
that she could not stand it, but she became
better, and it seemed that she was being
benefited, but she suddenly grew worse, and
we had to bring her home.
"She fingered along, and last winter be.
came worse again, and was afflicted with
nervous trouble almost like the st. Vitus'
dance. For some time we thought she would
die, and the physicians gave her up. When
she was at her worst neighbor came in
with box of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People and wanted us to try them as
they were advertised to be good for such
cases, and her daughter had used them for
thought they might help Mabel.
1--WE tried them. The first box helped
her some, and after she had taken three
boxes she was able to sit up in bed. When
she had finished half dozen boxes she was
able to be out and about. She has taken
about nine boxes altogether now, and she is
as well as ever, and going to school every
day, having started in again three weeks
ago. Her. cure was undoubtedly due to

Bulletin 46 of Hatch (Mass.) station
says the toad lives ten to forty years,
does not begin to produce young till the
fourth year, but then lays over 1000
eggs a year. 1t has lived two years
without food, but cannot live long un

beetles, worms, spiders, snails, bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets, weevils, cater
pillars, moths, etc.
The station examined with a micro
scope the contents of the stomachs of
seven toads in April, 80 in May, 66 in
June, 26 in July, ten in August and
seven in September-149 in all. On an
average it was found that 80 per cent.
of the toad's food consists of harmful
insects, and. II per cent. was of such
beneficial insects as bees spiders. lady
bugs, etc,
The stomach that doeshE finch at
yellow jackets, ,wasps, blister beetles
and click beetles or pinch-bugs would
seem to be prepared for anything in the.
insect line, and it doubtless is.
The quantity of food that toad's
stomach can accommodate is remark
able. In one were found ~ myriapodS,
in another SIS army worms, in another
65 gypsy moth caterpillars, in another
nine ants, six cut worms, five myria-
pods, six sow bugs, one weevil and one
wire worm beetle.
In "a hours the toad consumes enough
food to fill its stomach four times.
Feeding at the rate above mentioned
single toad will in three months de-
your over 10000 insects. If every ten
Of these would have done one cent dam
age the toad has saved ten dollars.
Evidently the toad is valuable
friend to the farmer, gardener and
fruit grower, and can be made espe-
cially useful in greenhouse, garden and
berry patch.

High Prices in Richmond.

1t was seen that Grant, by his opera
tions, was rapidly forcing the fight to
a finish. The last white man in the
south had been put into the ranks, the
communications were broken, the sup
plies were irregular. Confederate mon
ey was at a fabulous discount, and hope
had given place to despair. The next
evening one of our scouts returned from
q trip to Richmond and was brought to
headquarters in order that the general
in-chief might question him ip person.
The man said "The depreciation in the
purchasing.power of 'graybacks,' as we
call rebel treasury notes, is so rapid
that every time l go to the enemy's1ines
] have to increase my supply of them.
On my last trip had to stuff my clothes
full of their currency to keep myself
going for even couple of days. A bar
rel of -four in Richmond now costs over
thousand dollars, and suit of clothes
labout twelve hundred. A dollar in gold
is equal in value to a hundred dollars
in graybacks. Then so much counter
felt confederate money has been showed
in through our lines that II the country
places they don't pretend to make any
difference between good and bad mon
ey, A fellow that had come in from the
western part of the state told me pret-
ty tough yarn about matters out there.
He said: Everything that has picture

have an engraving of the house printed
at the top, you can just tear off the pic
ture and pay for your dinner with it,"
