We could hear the Yankees at work prepar- ing defenses against our attack in the morning. The Colonel took my advice and when he returned told me that he Law did not give him much satisfaction. He then lay on my blanket with me and slept until daylight. Between that time and sunrise Law rode up and said to ade today" I stepped aside with him and remarked that Colonel Perry not be- ing under arrest, by reason of his older commission, would have a right to the command over me.

I appealed to the General not to do 1t, and told him that colonel Perry felt humiliated at the occurrence, and to give him chance to redeem himself Law then agreed to do It. say ing, Now you watch him and If he goes to iickering today you assume command of the Brigade at once," and rode away. l informed Perry what Law said. He then took command and I went to my regiment which still constituted the left of the Brigade line.

By his coolness he gave to everyone the hveliest assurance of his courage and capacity to command.
 Brigadier General Jenkins, of South Carolina, with his Brigade arrived; he ranked Law and took command of Hoods Division. Hood lost one of his legs in the battle of Chickamauga and never returned to his Division. Law aspired to that command and said that Longstreet complimented him on the way he handled the Division in that battle, and promised to recommend him for pro motion to that command. He afterwards took to Jenkins and rec 1mmended him for promotion instead of Law. This led to a falling out between Law and Long street, and & bitteT rtXa1rx bstxesn Law

An Appalling Death.

Blanchardville Blade, Mar. %:
The sad news came to US Tuesday, of
the tragical death of one of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Paynter's twin daughters.
Monday Mr.. Paynter went out some
distance from the house and burned
some brush, and after the fire was
started. went on to do some other
work on another part of the farm. 1t
seems that the two little ones followed
their papa and stopped to play in the
fire. Mrs. Paynter heard a scream
and looking out, saw one of the chill
dren with her clothes all afre. She
rushed to the rescue and extinguished
the flames. Medical aid was at once
summoned, but the child was terribly
burned and beyond all human aid,
and died Tuesday at 8 a. m. Her
name was Mile Genevieve and she
was years, months and 8 days old.

coins remarks. We were all going one
day out from Washington to Tennally-
town-the president, Secretary Chase,
Mr.. Bates and myself-to see General
Mcclellan review the Pennsylvania re-
serves. Bates hair, l noticed, had re-
tanned its original dark color in perfect
freshness, while his beard was almost
as white as mine is now. 1t was an ex-
ception to the usual law, and l asked
Mr.. Bates after he had spoken of the
popularity if he knew any especial
reason for it. He said he didn't, but
the president exclaimed laughingly:

uses his chin more than he does his

OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.
Pearls Were Thought to Be Dew
drops Caught by the Shell.

Pearls Were Thought to Be Dew
drops Caught by the She'll.
The Indians called rock crystal an
"unripe diamond" and until the begin
ming of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not, therefore, until the discovery of
India that the diamond was known to
u.s. Yet as far back as 500 B. G.
"didactic history" of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote, 1--WE drink out of a mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeraIds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectacles made Of emeralds.
But is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer-
chants would not disclose any definite
locale. All sorts of myths have ac-
cordingly sprung up concerning the
origin Of gems. "DiamOnd' was the
name given to a youth who was turned
into the hardest and most brilliant of
substances to preserve him from "the
ills that flesh is heir to-" Amethyst
was a beautiful nymph beloved by
Bacchus, but saved from him by Di-
ana, who changed Amethyst into a
gem, whereupOn Bacchus turned the
gem into wine color and endowed the
wearer with the gift of preservation
from intOXicatiOn.
The pearl was thought to be a dew
drop the shell had opened to receive.
Amber was said to be honey melted by
the sun, dropped into the sea and con-
gealed. According to the Talmud, Noah
had no light in the ark but that which
came from precious stones.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

HUNDRED MILE COAST,
The Oroya Railway In Peru Distin-
guished Itself In Many Ways.

Lord Ernest Hamilton describes his
pastime, the descent in a small hand
car Of a wonderful mountain railway
in Peru.
"As a matter of fact" he writes, re-
ferring to the title of the article, lit is

ira six may go-100 are enough at any
rate for purposes of illustration. These
hundred odd miles are to be found on
the Ferro-Carril Central of Peru, COM
monty called the Oroya roilway, and
they are to be found nowhere else.
"This Oroya railway is a very Won
derful line indeed. 1t not only climbs
higher than any other railway in the
world, but also distinguished itself in
a variety Of other ways incidentally
referred to hereafter. But the accom-
plishment with which l am chiefly con-
cerned is this-that it provides the only
road in the world which a man on
wheels can travel over 100 miles by
his own momentum and practically at
any pace to which the fiend of reck-
lessneSs may urge him.
"The object of what is here written
is to trace the sensations born Of a
run down from the summit of the Orc
va railway, 1866 feet above sea level,
to the verge of the Pacific. You start
under the eye of the eternal SHOWS,
and you finish among humming birds
and palms. You start sick with the IN
speakable sickness of soroche, and you
finish in the ecstasy of an exultation
too great for words.

in the control that lies the joy, as in
other things apart from car running.
