knew not what was in store for him
there.
We went on pell nell through fields,

reached public road running east and
west. We then came back to the
railroad and the officers succeeded in
getting us into line again, where we
soon made barricades Of fence rails
preparing for another attack, but
1T never came and just why the enemy
did not follow us was then a mystery,
but we afterwards learned that the
Ninth Kentucky cavalry came to our
rescue just as we left the railroad.
After nightfall we struck march again

Yawaing Cures Hiccoughs.

"Yawniug is about the best cure
know of for the hiccoughs," said an
observant man, "and / have stumbled
on the truth quite by accident. It
was proved in my case a sure cure,
and by reflection am convinced that
it is perfectly logical result, result
explalnable, too, on physical grounds.
"All kinds of remedies are rcsortcd
tc by men who suffer periodically
with hiccoughs. like stopping the ears
and drinking glass Of water slowly
and without stop, or by holding the
breath, or counting,-or thinking in.
tensely on some subject, and in many
other ways. | have tried all of these
remedies, and at times have been fair
ly successful in checking the hic-
coughs. Again, l have seen each one
OF these remedies fail. In my own
experience, 80 far as these remedies
are concerned, drinking a glass Of
water slowly and without breathing is
the most satisfactory. But it is .or-
turing enough too. On the other hand,
the yawn is not only efficacious, but
it is absolutely without any of the tor
turing features. There is, as I said
before, probably good physical rea-
son for the yawn being good remedy
for the hiccoughs. The hiccoughs
is described as being a modified res.
plratory movement, spasmodic in
spiration, consisting of contraction
OF the diaphragm, accompanied with
closure of the CLOTHS, SO that further
entrance of air is prevented. The i'm
pulse of the column Of air entering
and striking upon the closed glottis
produces the sound peculiar to the
ailment 1t is reasonable to assume
that anything that would relieve the
contracted state Of the diaphragm, and
would reopen the closed CLOTHS, or
partially open it. so the air could
enter in normal way, would com
pletely relieve the situation. 1T would
seem that the yawn: which is nothing
more than deep, long breath, would
bring about this result. While the
yawn is supposed to be on involun-
tary movement, due to drowsiness, it
is yet fact that man can yawn at
pleasure. This being true, it is easily
within mans power to cure the hio-
coughs by resorting to the very simple
practice of yawning. OF course I can
not say that in all cases of hiccoughs
the yawn will prove q good remedy.
But believe in all ordinary cases,
where the annoyance is not aggravated,
the yawn will do the work. At any
rate, my own experience has convin-
ced me Of the fact, and, besides, there
are che PHYSICAL conditions, TO which
l have referred. New Orleans

Doesn't Agree With Mr.. Weller.

The man who marries girl jus
out OF school has need of much shrewd-
ness, tee: and sortitude, for the Grst
year OF matrimony will produce q vio-
lent revolution in her mind. AS she
learns to know her husband-she who
has never seen him except when lie
had his best coat on--she will deem
him brute and will be disappointed
and digusted, for she will compare him
with that impossible ideal of manhood
which every girl has in her mind, and
OF which he, Of course, falls short.
But with experience will come wis.
dom. In time she will understand
that her girlhood's ideal, if she were
to have him in the flesh. would be an
unbearable prig, and that her husband
is about as good as men and even-if
she loves him-a little better than
the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge Of
mon and of the world, which spinster
lacks. A man talks to a widow freely
as TO one who has found him out.
She is an expert in the arts of pleas
ing bin, aud if bright young widow
sets her cap for a man he can escape
her only by fight. A widow has no
illusions and no ideals. She is we'll
trained and used to going double,
while the spinster is an unbroken filly
and is bound TO kick up good deal
when she first feels tug at the
snaffle.-Sau Francisco Bulletin.

When MOsby Rode on his Daring
Raids.

John S. Mosby, we'll known as the
commander of guerrilla band in the
service of the Confederacy during the
war of the States, and who is now a
special employe Of the department. Of
the Interior, showed willingness to
talk about his wartime experience to
Star reporter day or two ago. The
latter inquired into the truth of a
story that he had entered Alexandra a
In disguise and had engaged in some
daredevil trick.
"Oh, that story is all nonsense, {"
said Colonel Mosby, II never went to
place in disguise in my life. These
stories crosse because of the rapid
movements Of my command. Why,
there is an official telegram on file in
the war department, stating that WAS
in Washington in conference with
Wilkes Booth the night of the killing
of President Lincoln. 1t is needless
to say that the statement was known
to be false by most Of the federal gen.
erals.
'Yes,.I frequently got close to Wash
ington during the war. Many time
l would ride up to the hill up yonder
across the Potomac anG look down
upon the city. l Imight have one or
two men with me, and we would soon
disappear. Just over on the Virginia
side early one morning I met Mrs.
Barlow on her way into Washington
with wagon full of vegetables. Her
husband was federal soldier and she
was Northern woman. She had a
pass to go in and out Of Washington,
and drove into the city often from her
farm. l used to 60 to her house often
and get cup of good coffee. OF
course, she gave it to US knowing that
we rather had charge of things all
along on that side of the river. Well,
on shis particular morning Mrs. Bar
low had a pair of scissors hanging
from her apron. After I had talked
with her awhile I said:
Mrs. Barlow, lend mo your scis-
sors.'
"She handed them to me, aud I
reached up to my head, got hold Of a
bunch of hair, cut i. off and said:
Mrs. Barlow, please take this look of
my hair right into Lincoln, and say TO
him that am coming in 70 see him
soon aud will expect lock of his hair
in return She looked much puzzled,
but she said she would do it.
i found out afterwards that she
rode straight to the white house and
gave the hair to the president person
ally, refusing to give it to anyone else.
The president was amused and laugh
ed heartily. No, I was not afraid to
do this, because I knew that by the
time the president could attempt to
catch me 1 would be thirty miles away.
President Lincoln never made an at
tempt to catch me, because he knew
that I Would be somewhere else when
his men arrived. Many people took

about my capture.
