ONE OF MOsBY's FAMOUS RAIDS.
Made a Big Haul, But Failed to Get
The Money.

The eiguth annual reunion of Mos
by's Rangers at Warrenton, recently
was the occasion of the renewing of
recollections of bellum days and many
a good anecdote oradventure was to d
with all the vividness of personal ex-
perience. Mr.. David S. Brisco, of this
city who was lieutenant under Mos
by, tells several realistic accounts of
engagements which indicate the aggres
sive prowess of this sleepless band.
On one occasion, called the Berry
vile raid, an immense ha ul Of plunder
was taken from provision train going
to relieve Sheridan at Winchester, but
in the excitement box containing a
great quantity Of greenbacks, the
property of the paymaster, was over
looked, and the Federals came back
and recovered it. The incident occur
red On August 13, 1864. Scouts re
ported large wagon train of supplies
for Sheridan in progress from Harper s
Ferry to Winchester. The rangers
came up with. the Federal's train,
which was under the protection of a
strong guard. Early the next morn
ing as it was nearing Berryyille, fog
partially concealed the Confederates
and gave them opportunity to plant
small howitzer on an eminence. The
first shell burst in the road and scat
tered the guard and a second exploded
among the wagons and caused stam-
pede among the drivers. The third
shot was followed by the charge and
the Federal cavalry and infantry fled,
the infantry hiding in the woods or
behind stone fences, where they kept
up murderous fire upon the rangers.
The scene became one of indescrib-
able confusion. The train extended
for long distance along the pike. The
booming of cannon, the bursting of
shells, the rattle of musketry and the
crack of pistols, mingled with the yells
of the contending forces, the braying
of mules and lowing of cattle, were
heard with the cries of the wounded.
The rangers, wild with excitement,
sang and shouted and the braying mules
joined in the chorus.
Over 500 mules were taken in this
raid, Sc horses, 200 cattle and 200 pris-
oners. Oyer 100 wagons were DESTROY
ed. In one wagon was box which
was thrown out upon the ground by
the roadside, along with other boxes
and trunks containing officers bag
gage. and it passed unnoticed among
these rich prizes. 1t was afterwards
learned that this box was filled with
greenbacks.
Mr.. Briscoe participated in the raid
in which Capt. Mountjoy, a gallant
and dashing young officer, was killed.
Capt. Mountjoy had been sent into
Loudoun county with Company d
after the Loudoun Rangers, and at
GOresville he fell in with detachment
of Union troops under Lieutenant
which was returning from a
raid upon Leesburg. AS soon as they
were attacked the Federals fled, some
toward Leesburg and the others toward
the Potomac river. Capt. MountjOy
with Lieutenant Briscoe, was leading
in pursuit. Capt. Mountjoy was killed
by chance shot fired by Federal
soldier, who, without looking back,
fired over his shoulder. The bullet
struck the captain in the head, killing
him NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Sun.

Ghosts would frighten many people
who are not afraids of germs. Yet the
germ is a real danger. If this micro
scopic animalism could be magnified
to size in proportion to Its deadliness
it would show like giant python, or
fire breathing dragon. The one fact
to remember is that the germ is pow.
erless to harm the body when the blood
is pure. 1t is far easier to Keep the
germ out than to drive it out after it
obtains a hold in the system. DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
the most powerful and perfect of blood
purifying medicines. 1t increases til
quantity as well as the quality OF the
blood, and enables the body to resist
disease, or to throw it off if disease ha S
obtained footing in some weak organ.
Wherever the digestion is impaired, the
nutrition of the body is diminished,
for the blood is made from the food
which is eaten, and half digested food
cannot supply the body with blood in
quantity and quality adeq uate to its
needs For this condition there is no
remedy equal to Golden Medical Dis
covery." It cures ninety eight out of
every hundred persons who give it a
fair trial. When there is constipation

BEGGARS IN SAN Juan.
Porto RIco's Custom of Distributing Aims
Every Saturday.

Saturday is beggars day in San Juan.
For that matter, every day is beggars'
day to greater or less extent, but on
Saturday all the beggars from far and
near journey to the capital, there to
collect their weekly toll from their more
prosperous brethren. San Juan is nev-
er free from beggars, as there are round
ers to whom begging is profession.
On Saturday, however, it is safe to
say that fully one-fifth of the people
met upon the streets are indlgents seek
ing aims. The halt and the blind, old
men and women and little children, all
types are represented. each with hand
outstretched, and it is no uncommon
thing to hear from the lips of children
probably the only English words they
know: America, give me l cent ~
Every merchant in San Juan has his
own particular clientele. On the sew
enth day each merchant sets aside a
certain amount, which he has previous
ly changed into cents, and to each one
of his clients is given l cent. Some of
the larger or more prosperous mer-
chants give to every one who applies.
One merchant takes his weekly allow
ance for charity, changes it into cents
and places the money in basket which
is hung near the entrance of the store.
Each beggar comes and takes his or
her cent, and no more, and goes away.
Some of the deformities which are
exhibited for the purpose of creating
public sympathy are disgusting and
offensive. The worst cases are gen.
orally dragged about in little carts by
big, healthy poems. The blind man,
with haversack slung over bis shoulder
to hold the scraps that may fall to his
lot, is led from door to door at the end
of short stick, guided by a stout
wretch who should be earning his living
in the sugar fields. Thus the crippled
members of the family support the
healthy members. Many and loud are
the blessings bestowed upon the giver,
louder are the curses rained upon the
person who withholds his cent. If a
more aggressive, independent and yet
abject specimen of poverty exists than
the Porto Rlcan beggar, it would be
hard to convince an American of this
fact after be had passed Saturday in
San Juan.-NeW York Sun.
