He Did Not Look Back.


At the siege Of Vicksburg, on May
%, 1868, the Ninety-ninth Regiment OF
Illinois Volunteers was ordered tt
charge upon the defensive position oc
cupied by the Second Texas Regiment
Of the Confederate Army.
Don't look back, boys" was the
command which the Colonel gave as
the regiment moved forward for the
charge.
At the head of the line Of advancing
1llinoisans was Thomas Higgins, the
young color bearer. He held the stars
and stripes aloft, and marched straight
for the works. Before long the regi,
ment struck a whitening fire, and re-
coiled before it. The line advanced,
wavered, broke, and fell back.
But Thomas Higgins, bearing the col
ors, was mindful of the ColonePs COM
mand, Don't look back" He did not
look back, and as he could hear moth.
ing but the roar of the enemv,s fire
he kept marching on, the stars and
stripes held aloft, alone.
A soldier Of the Texas regiment,
Charles Evans by name, has told the
rest Of the story in an affidavit sub.
mitted at the War Department.
"He never looked back. He never
noticed the retreat of his regiment, but
came bounding forward, his colors fly
ing as prettily as soldier ever saw.
When within forty yards Of our works
word was passed along the line not to
shoot the brave soldier, and all firing
ceased.
"When Higgins saw his predicament
he started to retreat with his colors
but we told him to come ON or We
would have to shoot him. Several me1
ran out and brought him within the
breastworks. We kept him severa.
days, during which time we learned tt
like and admire him. He was then par
oled."
Several other Texas soldiers remem
bered Higgins exploit, and made aft
davits supporting Mr.. Evans. On these
afhdavits Secretary Alger granted t.

action in battle, and 1.-THE man VIII,

"Now, George" the recorder said to
the finder, ''the officer says you found
that fortune and knew it belonged to
Bill Curry, and instead of giving it to
the owner you tried to get it changed"

THIS YEAR'ssFIRsT VOTERS. =.

The young men who will cast their
first vote this year should carefully
consider the political conditions that
confront them at the present time, and
not allow themselves to be led blindly
into aching with one party rather than
the other. Perhaps ct no period in the
industrial history of the country has it
been so difficult for young man with
out capital, or influential friends, to
make place for himself as a worker as
it is in these opening years of the new
century.
The underlying causes that have
brought about these untoward condi-
tons are easy to understand. Chief
among them are the enormous combi-
nations of capital which, under a wei
GUS system of legislation, have enor-
mously restricted competition, and to
that extent narrowed the field of en-
ployment. The day of the small fact
DRY and store is fast disappearing.
and with it the numerous opportuni.
ties which formerly existed Of begin
ming life in a moderate way, and grad
ually winning a position of comfort
and independence. A small clerkshIr
is almost all that the average young
man need hope to obtain, and the com.
pensation attached to it is very little
more than sufficient for his support
With him marriage is nearly out of the
question. So far as the family is con.
cerned, every member of it in the large
cities has to labor at something in or
der to meet current expenditures.
The fact is undeniabIe that this
social and economic revolution has
been brought about by the Legislation
of the Republican party in favor Of
special interests, which are amassing
fabulous fortunes at the expense of the
masses of the people. Manufactures
are unduly fostered and protected tC
the detriment Of agriculture, which
has been saved from disaster in recent
years only because of wonderously
prosperous seasons at home and cor
respondingly bad ones IN other quar-
ters of the globe. Very little change
for the better can take place so long af
these unjust governmental conditions
, are permitted to exist. The party re.
sponsibIe for them must be retired,
and the laws so altered that the major
ity will not be at the mercy of tho
minority. Young men should study
out these problems for themselves, do
their own thinking, and not allow
themselves to be rushed into incon-
siderate political action.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be Incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nOnuced it a local disease, and prescrib-
cd local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional dt-
sease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment Hairs Catarrh Cure,

WHERE TT WAS REALLY FREE.

The Rev. Jacob Weller, Maryland
Dunkard, who was buried Monday, had
preached in one pulpit for more than
forty years. In all that time le would
never take a cent of salary or allow o
collection" to be "taken up in his
church 1t must have been popular.
The doctrine that salvation's free rises
in too many frugal minds Just about
the time when the plate or box begins
to go around. This old Dunkard
preacher was a very great warrior and
baptizer. Some clergymen have a
bsnignity and simplicity that endear
them to youth and maid; and the folks
that have been joined in marriage by
them like to have their children bap-
tIzed by the same kind hands. Our
Dunkard was an orator of much inspi-
ration and effectiveness; and he never
wore a cravat. The little dash OF
popularity or eocentricity is seldom
wanting in these strong and amiable
characters. 1t gives them flavor Of
originality aud makes them the more
acceptable to their congregations
You can hardly forgive even saint
