G. H., the pursuit lasting till 10
o'clock at night. The enemy left
their wounded, amounting to quite a
number, scattered over the ground
upon which We had fought. Sher-
.idan retrest ed to Wynoke Neck in
order to cross the James River under
protection of the gunboats. During
the engagement it was currently re-
ported that We were on the eve of
overtaking. and capturing the COM
misary train. This stimulated and
encouraged US no little, for We were
exceedingly hungry, having eat moth
ing since the night before: We did
not overtske 1t, consequently went
hungry. In their retreat they hur-
riedly cast off all surplus articles,
consisting-of household goods, chick
en-, ETC., scattered along the entire
route. These they had stolen from
the citizens in their raid. Here l
saw two Confedederates contending
over a pair of boots, on the person
of dead Captain. They had him
a straddle of tree each one pulling
at boot. I do not know how they
came out as l had other matters en-
ga sing my attention. That night
six priyates and two non commits
stoned officers of my company were
left as pickets upon the battlefield.
The recent lamented Sargent W. K.
Thomas requested US, or rather .sug.
gestel, that we gather up the federal
wounded, place them in the church
and administer to their wants as best
we could, this we did willingly,
placed them in as comfortable posi-
ttions as possible and gave them
water, this was all we could do, and
for this they expressed great thanks
and seemed to greatly appreciate it.
s. On the next morning there came q
demented white lady with an axe
and made strenuous efforts to kill the
prisoners. She was carried off to a
neighboring house and thereby pre-
venting from her earnest desires.
She claimed that they had burned
her house and stole everything she
possessed save her wearing apparel
and the old axe.

engagement.

CHURCH ADVERTISING PAYS.

Converts.

AsnrABULA OHIo,--A decided in
novation in church circles has been
by Rev. DR.. E. E. Whit
taker, of Ashtabula, pastor of the
Park Street Methodist Episcopal
Church. He is using large display
newspaper advertising to announce
his church surv;ces, and testi6es to it
that two ten-inch advertisements re-
suited in doubling his average Sun
day evening attendance and were in
strumental in making converts to re-
ligion. His advertisements are set
double masure, "top Of column next
to reading matter" They are written
in an attractive manner and are set
in heavy black-faced type. Here is a
sample of them:
"Wanted-A few more saints, .
few more men, few more Methodists,
a few more sinners to become saints:
Meeting tonight at the First M. +.

Companions.

A bulletin issuing from the labor
Of the United States in
January has long article concern
ng the real status Of the Negro in
Sandy Springs, Maryland, by Will
am Taylor Thorn, Phi. d., in which
'ettlement the Negroes have been
rec citizens for pretty nearly a cen
ury. The article is quite exhaust
We, and is fair to the race, which is
md has been struggling for an ex-
stence for so many years among
5heir white competitors. One Of the
erious drawbacks that DR.. Thom
found at the settlement was the I'M
morality among the young colored
girls, and most remarkable Of all the
,oncubinage so common among them
vas not with members of their own
cace, but with white men-their en-
ployers. 1t has been carried on to
such an extent that the colored
mothers are now refusing to allow
their girls to go out in service in
white families, either by the month
or day. It will be remembered that
this same class Of white men are now
trying to have the Maryland legis-
trying to have the Maryland legisla-
ture pass laws to disfranchise the Ne
gro men from taking any part in the
state government on account of his
ignorance and total unftness to be a
citizen of the United States, and yet
they are persistent in their efforts to
become the paramours Of the daugh-
ters and wives of these same ignorant
Negroes. This must be sad state Of
affairs to persons who really believe
in right, both in the sight of God
and man, in that section of the cOun-
try, and just what the outcome will
be is a question that puzzles the most
profound thinkers of the day. DIR.
lhom finds the people doing well
financially, owning their homes and
farms, the same well furnished and
maintained, and a peaceful state of
mind in general prevailing among
them He, however, finds quite an
influx from that section on the part
Of the young Negro men and women
to the states and towns of the North,
where agents are constantly adver-
tising for hundreds and thousands Of
colOred men and women to do house
work in the various Northern cities
at fancy prices.

mess Man - American Irish So
cieties Against Queen Victoria 8
Long Reign.

A fitting tribute was paid to the
memory of John Marshall, at one
time chief justice of the United
States supreme court, by the prac-
tising attorneys all over the country
last Monday afternoon. Seattle sim
ply outdid herself at her efforts to
pay the proper respects to the mem
ory of one Of the greatest men that
ever sat on the supreme bench, when
the majority, if not all Of her attor-
neys met in the Grand opera house
and held services which lauded him
to the very skies The opera house
was beautifully decorated and a
splendid programme was carried out
by not only the attorneys themselves,
but by other talent as well, chosen
for the occasion, chief among which
were many beautiful musical selec-
tions. This was the hundredth an
niversary of the elevation of John
Marshall to the supreme bench, and
the American Bar Association in ev-
cry section of the country wed with
each other in paying him their re-
spects. Chief Justice Marshall was
among the nations greatest legal
lights. and not only greatest legal
light, but one Of the foremost and
leading men of the United States.
and all men of this day found pleas
ure in assisting the various attorneys
Of the country in doing honor to his
memory.

ATTRACTING ATTENTION.

Mrs Carrie Nation continues her
war Of determination against the
Joint keepers of Kansas, and other
women have cast their fortunes with
her, and drinking joints" are being
attacked in pretty nearly every Sec
ton of the state of Kansas. In
most cases the husbands of the wom-
on who have united themselves to
destroy the joints in that state are
working in harmony with them, and
stand quietly by with a view Of pro-
tecting their wives from any violence
that might be offered them by the
owners of those places, while the
women do their work. Whatever else
may be said of this peculiar method
Of freeing the state from these drink
ing joints, it is certainly striking the
Illegal saloon business the hardest
body blow that it has been struck
since the state first voted for pro-
hibition. Wherever Mrs. Nation OF
any other woman Of a similar turn
Of mind has appeared and avowed
their intention Of destroying the
Joints in the town, the joint keepers
have fled from the city, panic strick-
en-, and left their places to the ten
der mercies of Mrs. Nation and her
hatchet. Some feeble resistance has
been offered her in Topeka, Kansas,
and one policeman dared to take her
to the police headquarters, charging
her with disturbing the peace, but
that only suspended her actions for
a few moments, and she was soon on

QUEEN is AT REST.

AT last Queen Victoria has been
laid to rest and her remains now
sleep in the tomb beside those of her
husband, Albert Edward. Fitting
Funeral ceremonies were held in her
memory throughout England, and
everywhere else where Englishmen
had emigrate to, on last Saturday
and Sunday, while on Monday the
final rites over her remains were paid
as she was laid to rest amid thou
sands Of her former subjects who had
gathered around the sacred spot
which would hold what was mortal
of her for all time to come. Queen
Victoria only lives in history now,
and in the memory of those she so
long did service for. England will
ever hold in high and lofty respect
the memory Of this most noble wom-
an, and her private and public life
will be held up to the young Of all
nations as character worthy of en-
ulation by them. Would that the
world had more Queen Victorias.
and there would be less need of war
and warfares among the struggling
nations of the world.

writer hereof feels that he can speak
with an earnestness concerning Dr.
RevelS' life from another standpoint,
which is, as he not only fretted and
annoyed him while school boy and
caused him considerable trouble as
do all school boys, but he also further
imposed upon him by marrying one
of his daughters, and a rather his
toric daughter at that, as she was
born the very month that DR.. Rev
els was seated in the United States
senate to succeed Jefferson Davis,
and owing to the fact that he was led
to the bar Of the senate by the great
and noble Charles Sumner, this
daughter was named in his honor
That brief mention of his death has
not been made in this paper prior
to this lies in the fact that the news
could not be broken to the above
mentioned daughter on account Of
sickness. He leaves a wife, who is
also quite i'll at present, and three
daughters, to mourn his loss. May
there arise among the Negroes Of the
United States other such noble mem
bers whose lives will be devoted to
their best interest, and it will soon
see the overhanging clouds Of gloom
and disappointment banished from
their upward and onward path Of
progress and prosperity.

THAT SUBSIDY BILL.

The United States senate has been
in the throes of the Hanna ship sub
sidy bill during the present and q
part Of the past week. Much com
ment, both pro and con, is being
found in the newspapers Of the coun-
try concerning this bill, as well as
much is heard from those persons
who take an active part in the pub
lie affairs Of the United States. Per-
haps Senator Hanna's ship subsidy
bill means a scheme for the enrich
ment of a number Of men, but the
proposition to the casual observer,
and even to those men who have
given it the most profound thought
and consideration, looks very favor
able, and not only looks favorable,
but, on the face, seems to desire to
further the commercial interests OF
the United States, which very thing
the country is so much lacking in at
present. Though the United States
has more commercial products to
trade with the world than any other

country, yet it has fewer ships and
fewer means of sending its commodi-
ties to the other countries than that
of any other nation, one-half as
powerful as it is, and, if the Hanna
subsidy bill will to some extent over
come this difficulty, then there seems
to be no good and sufficient reason
why it should not be passed by the
United States congress and signed
by the president.
