John Porter's corps, and between u and

on, to and fro, above our heads, between
the batteries Of Porter's command and
those Of The enemy ~ being dTwn Nv b,rSss y, sss

could not see; nor could they ste US.
When we first deployed on the further stdo

on the Confederate batteries.
"The situation was unmistakably try

was hurt. BY degrees 1t grew monoto-

horses, we were ordered to dismount,
and, without breaking the ranks, we

the enemy were visible to US; and the

TWO GREAT REMEDIES.
Light and Darkness Find Ont Which
Suits Your Case.
philadelphia Press

All who ever suffered from toothache
know to their sorrow that the pains in.
crease as the night grows older. A tooth
ache which during the day interfered but
little with our enjoyment of life is likely
to develop during the hours of darkness
into veritable terror, that makes US
curse the accident of our birth. 1t is the
etc. Asthma Is most likely to develop
into smothering nightmare between the
hours OF 10 D. m. and n. m.
At the Vienna University Dr. Gold
schneider has told the reason in paper
read before his class. He thinks the
dark uess prevailing In the average bed
room is at fault. Light, he says. pays q
greater part in the pathology of aches
than most people imagine. Those are,
properly speaking, the healrhiest men,
bers of the human family who live in
sunlit, well-aired rooms. and who move
about In the sun as much as practicable.
If In daytime we are stricken with pain
our sutferings are certainly less, relative
ly speaking, than they would be II ths
malady had seized us at night, for light
and sunshine soothe our feelings and do
not allow us to abandon ourselves to the
feeling of pain.
tions increase; they are bearable as long
as we are in the gas or lamplight, but be-
come intense the moment we stretch out
in bed, enveloped by stiffness and dark
ness. A lessen1ng of the pain Is observ
able only after sunrise.
What does it ueanr' asks the doctor.
''That darkness and stiffness are not
conducive to the comfort of sick people.
Therefore, I say, If you have pains In the
evening, do not rob yourself of the soorh
ing effects of a lamp. In nirHty mine
out of 100 cases the presence of u ght In
the sick room alleviates pain.
"For the same reasons, do not let your
children sleep in the dark II they prefer
light. The denial of night light has
made many child Ill with heart di sesse.
II children refuse to sleep in the dark it
may be assumed that there is some phys
ical or mental reason for 1t which we
ought to respect.
"From the above rules, nervous people
are exempt. Some of them absolutely re-
fuse to find rest until all is quiet and
dark about them. / have found that In
side of the head, nothing would do but
to place the patient In an absolutely uafk
and still room, II possible at the top OF
tho house. ! advise that people sun
from sick headache should Interrupt the
days work and take themselves ior
quarter OF an hour TO q darkened room

great remedies in our hRnds-llght anu

themselves which beat agrees with them.

ASLEEP IN BATTLE.


In his address at the opening OF the
Fenway building of the Massach ustts
Historical Society on April 1s, Charles
Francis Adams indulged by way of
illustration in personal "reminiscences,
saying:
1T was my fortune at one period to
participate In considerable number of
battles-among them none more famous
nor more flercely contested than Antietam
and Gettysburg. The mere utterance
of those names stirs the ina Rination-
visions arise at once Of attack, repulss.
hairbreadth escape, carnage, and breath
less suspense. There was, indeed, on
those occasions, enough and to spare of
all these: but not. as it chapoed, in my
particular case. Some here will doubt
less remem ber that English fox-hunting
squire who has gained for himself sort
of Immortality by following his hounds
over Naseby's field, think 1t was while
the epoch making battle was going
on. More yet will recall that ploughman,
twice referred to SO dramatically by Zola.

near Sedan when a dynasty was reeling
to its fall.

this, l am aware. is calculated to startle
rather than to excite admiration; but
to the historian truth Is sacred; and the
truth is-as 1 have said. Neither does
the statement imply any exceptional
nerve or Indifference to danger on my
part; 1 make no claim to anything Of the
sort. 1t happened in this wise. In the
campaign Of both Antietam and Gettys-

Spain's Sunken Ships Floated.

Perhaps the greatest mechanical feat
Of the century has been the raising of
some of the Spanish warships which were
apparently shot to pieces at Santiago. 1t
seemed utterly impossible to float them
because of the terrible damage inflicted
by our guns, but the task has been &C
complshed. Diseases of the blood,
stomach and liver frequently wreck the
health so that there appears to be no
chance of recovery. But when Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is taken, the disor-
deSed system is speedily restored to its
old time vigor and tone. The Bitters
will regulate the liver, bowels and digest
i've functions and purify the blood. You
can buy this remedy IN any drug store
and under no circumstances should you
accept anything said to he 'just as good"

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu-
monia always results from a cold
or from an attack of la grippe.
During the epidemic of la grippe a
few years ago when so many cases
resulted in pneumonia, it was OBJ
served that the attack was never
followed by that disease when
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy was
used. 1t counteracts any tendency
of cold or la grippe to result in
that dangerous disease. 1t is the
best remedy in the world for bad
colds and la grippe. Every bottle
warranted. For sale by Lewis,

Col. Jones INDICATED.
The Lewiston Tribune of the 22nd
inst, publishes an interview with ].
.. Barbour, second lieutenant of Co.
B, Idaho volunteers, who returned
the day previous from Manila.
When asked about the complaint
that had been uttered against Col.
Jones, Mr.. Barbour said there was
not towards hair in the colonel's
head. 1t was true the Idaho regi-
ment might have had place in
the battle, but the failure to do so
was merely misconstruction Of
orders or some other mistake. The
Idaho regiment on the day of battle
was halted and formed in battle
line, 300 yards from the shore, when
number of officers stepped down
to the shore to watch Dewey's ships
lombard the fort. At that time
the orders came that could have
put the Idaho regiment in the thick
of the charge, but through the error
the assignment fell to the Mime
sofas.
Colonel Jones has resigned his
commission and his resignation has
been accepted. He was to have re-
turned on the transport Ohio with
Lieutenant Barbour, but through
some technical defect in his papers
he was forced to remain over for
another sailing day.
Idaho Troops Did Their Duty.
A dispatch from Blackfoot of the
22nd inst, says: Martin F. Forbes,
veteran of the Civil war and a
soldier in the late war with Spain,
has just returned to Blackfoot from
Manila. Mr.. Forbes says that the
charge that the Idaho volunteers
were retired in disgrace at the battle
of Manila is unqualifiedly false,
that Col. Jones was present during
the fight and that the Idaho troops
did their duty. 1t has been limited
throughout the State and has created
considerable of sensation, but Mr.
Forbes states emphatically that Col.
Jones nor any of his soldiers showed
the white feather at Manila.
