The flank March

"Stonewall died." ran one of the
most popular fables, 'and two angels
came down from heaven to take him
back with them. They went to his
tent. He was not there. They went
to the hospital. He was not there.
They went to the outposts. He was
not there. They went to the prayer
meeting. He was not there. So they
had to return without him, but when
they reported that he had disappeared
they found that he had made a flank
march and reached heaven before
them" "-"Stonewall Jackson" by Lieu-

A Case In which the Condolences
Were Remarkable.
On an occasion during the civil war
l dreamed that 1 was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along it a strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the
hanks. | asked one of these guards
who the prisoners were and where
they had been captured. He Informed
me that they had been taken in an en-
gagement with the enemy on the
day before and that there were 1900 of
them. l then asked some bystander
what day of the month it was and was
told that it was such day of certain
month. some six weeks later than the
date of the dream The whole dream
was extremely distinct and it made
strong impression on me. 1 related 1t
to a number of my comrades within
the next few days and then thought of
it no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the

from the point where had seemed to
be when l saw them. 1t was soon aft
er breakfast, ana | was standing by
the side of the road at the fire talking
to the officer of the picket when an
aid to the commanding general came
riding down the road. He had been a
SchOolfellOw of our officers at West
Point and reined up when he recog-
niZed his friend. He told us that he
had good news, that there had been
sharp engagement with the enemy the
day before and that our people had
captured 1000 prisoners, who had
just passed the headquarters that
morning on their way to the rear.-St.

the substance of all interview he had
with Admiral Dewey, who is repre-
sented as having said:
81 was given to understand that the
American victories over Spain had eX-
cited ill-feeling against us in Europe,
but, so far as am concerned, the recep-
ton given me could not have been more
fattering.
"It will give me pleasure to say this
when l return to America, and 1 shall
be happy to do what l can to dissipate
any American prejudlces against Eu-
rope excited by criticisms on American
civilization"
Admiral Dewey, according to The

correspondent asserts that he has the
best reason to know that admiral
Dewey does hot share the pessimistic
views of some Americans about the pos.
sibility of subiugating the insurgents.
