EPISODE OF THE LATE WAR.
Last Night of Southern Soldier on the
 Battlefield.

Battlefield.
 Don't leave me, captain! Oh, don't
 leave me !''were the words that came tC
 me with all agorized shriek from a bleed
 ing and dying Confederate soldier or
 the evening of the great battle of Nal.
 vern Hill, July l, 1862 He, a mere
 youth of r years, lay i'll a heap, gasp
 ing for the breath which was fast leav-
 Ing him, along with the rays of sun-
 light, on that sad and memorable day.
 l, for whom that piteous cry was meant,
 was a staff officer of the brigade to
 which the Louisiana regiment, the sol
 dler boys regiment, was attached.
 We'll mounted, 1 was galloping back across that bloody field to report the duty I had performed when suddenly trrested ill my course by the voice of despair and woe, coming from my stricken cOmrade. The day was fast passing away into darkness, darkness that seemed to enshroud this valley of death. The terrific cannonading on both sides that had lasted for hours from the surrounding hills (Malvern hill being the central point of attack by the Con. federates) was supplemented by the booming of artillery and bursting of shells from the gunboats on the adja- cent James river.
 Nature seemed to revolt at this scene of blood and carnage. Thunder and E"htric~ Cr1 lu 2ylfuu.La CC rain came in 4uicE succession with such erelt tOrCo as 60 Uause tHu stUutosJ heart to quake. This great battle was the sey- enth days fight to capture the city of Richmond. It was not an ordinary bat tie, but a demons fight and the final encounter between those two giants of war Robert E. Lee and George B. Mc- Clellan. It gave the laurels of victory to the southern chieftain, bedewed with the tears of broken hearts.
 Without stopping to consider what alone could do for the dying youth amid the chaos and increasing darkness of the night that prevailed, I turned back and dismOunted to keep a lonely vigil with the dead. My horse, which, strange to say, had seemed frenzied with fear, became quiet and tractable Gs though he knew there was safety with his master. I called the boy, who had swOoned away from loss of blood, and was glad to know he was not dead. Giving him the bridle of my horse to hold, 1 tore the sash from around my waist to bandage his torn and bleeding limb.
 The boy was praying and called down Gods blessing on me. His petition to heaven seemed to Le heard. The storD. of wind and rain. although still high, was abating. Naught but the mournful vail of the wind through the surround ing forest could now be heard. Tie great armies that had so lately confront ed each other i'll battle array had seem- Ingly vanished from the scene. I was alone on a battlefield with the dead. Wet and dripping, with the chill of night upon me, waited for morning, md he, too, the brave soldier boy, was waiting for morning. Oh, God, will it over ccmeP
 lie cIaSped my hand with hope and confidence and seemed to be happy and without pain. l believed he had gone to sleep. Morning came, and he was still 4sIeep-asIeep to wake no more. -Daw- sen A. Blanchard in Washington Post.

So-called cork legs contain no cork whatever. The name arises from the fact that, years ago, nearly all the ar tificial legs used in Europe came from manufacturers whose places of busi- ness were in Cork street, London.

rated by United States Court.
 The United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Townsend presiding, handed down an opinion December 23d, 1897, granting in junction and accounting, in the suit of The Hostetter Company against Isaac SOmmers and Louis Joseph, for infringe ment on its Trade Mark. The jurist states in bold and clear language, the rights ac- cruing to the Hostetter Company, and the liability incurred by all who would rob them, by fraud or misrepresentation, ofthe well-earned reputation and profits of a business built up by the efforts of half a century. The judge says in part:
 "The complainant is entitled to protec- ton against the appropriation of it's trade mark. bv any and all unfair and dishonOr- able means, and court of equity has pow CT to grant such protection whenever it is satisfied that an attempt has been made by ingenious subJerugcS, to invade the rights of an owner of trade mark.

Grent Excitemenf nt Key West.

Dr. Coughln. of this city writing to an
indianapolis friend from Key West under
date of April z. says there is great excite
ment there, due to the expected arrival or
the Spanish torpedo fiotilla. This fleet Is
giving the naval officers no end of concern.
We unfortunately have no torpedo boat de-
stroyers unless some private yachts which
have recently been purchased will be con-
verted into torpedo boat destroyers. Any
boat of good speed, capable of carrying 4
fair size battery, can put q torpedo boat to
sleep. / took dinner on board the Iowa with
Fighting Bob Evans, and he said we have
six first-class torpedo boats here, but Spain
has only two vessels in these waters that
are worth destroying. Captain Evans says
either the Indiana, New York or Iowa is
equal TO both of them. but that any size
ship must sink when struck with torpedo,
hence the Importance of quick and decisive
action to take measures to intercept and
destroy this f1otilla before it reaches Cuban
waters" It is rumored that DR.. Coughlin is
arranging with the navy to furnish all our
battle ships and torpedo boats with Haag'S
Liver Pills and Haags Cold and Fever Cap
sules, as the liver pills clear the head and
cure indigestion. biliousness, sick headache
and kidney troubles, while the Cold and
Fever Capsules cure bad cold, grip, ma
laria yellow fever and pneumonia. BY their
use no other medicines would be necessary,
as they give relief in half an hour and cure
any of the above troubles in few days.

dwellings, suggests the prairie farms OF
Indiana and Illinois. Arrived at Ceoilton
| M. f. Church as the shades OF evening
were falling over farm and village, we
were cordially welcomed by the members
Of Cecilton Union, and the good pastor
and his wife. We were most cordially
welcomed into the pleasant homes provided
for each, and hearts were made glad, by
mingling together and speaking words of
cheer, one to the other
Your readers have already heard through
the published reports, of the success of our
convention, of the strong logical arguments
advanced by Rev. Robert Watt, against
license in his address of the evening, and
the earnest words of Rev. Mr.. Arters, pas
tor of Cecilton NJ. E. Church.
On our homeward trip some of our party
stopped to lunch at the picturesque ruin,
the old Universalist Church. We paused
on the bridge to admire the bread sweep of
the beautiful Bohemia. On several high
trees, devoid of foliage and fallen into
decay, we had noted bird nests Of peculiar
construction and immense size and fell into
an animated discussion of the kind of bird
by which they had been built. The
majority seemed to incline to the opinion
that they were buzzards' nests, but our
driver, who is an intelligent and observing
farmer, had hearty laugh at the expense
OF the rest of our party, while he informed
us that the buzzard always builds upon
the ground and never aspires so high as the
topmost notch of tall tree. On meeting
with Rev. Mr. Westerfeld in Chesapeake
City we referred the solution of the problem
to him. He did not know what sort of
bird nested there but promised to find out
and let us know, while some of the ladies
who were with him vouchsafed the opinion
that the loudly eagle was the winged
songster who Inhabited the airy perch.
Will the Editor of the WING please in
vestigate and let us know through the
columns of his paper?
