lEN IN the evening of Oct 8, 1862,
lIO 600 picked men of Jeb Stu
YS0Iff0T arts renowned cavalry corps
Vf1zEdD assembled on the camp pa
rade at Charlestown, w. Va, for orders.
The troopers We're divided into three
detachments and placed under the
| leadership of General Wade Hampton,
Colonel w. H. r. Lee and Colonel w.
e. Jones. Then Stuart spoke to the
command as follows: Soldiers, you
are about to engage in an enterprise
which to insure success demands at
your hands coolness, decision and brav
cry, implicit obedience to orders with
out question or cavil and the strictest
order and sobriety on the march and in
bivouac. The destination and extent
of this expedition had better be kept to
myself than known to you. Suffice it
10 say that with the hearty co-opera-
ton of officers and men l have not
doubt of its success, a success which
will reflect credit of the highest degree
upon your arms
At the close of the speech the men
retired to their blankets to catch few
hours rest, and the jolly sabreur, with
his boon companions, passed the even
ing at The Bower, a typical planters
mansion, where Stuart made his head
quarters. With fiddle, banjo and bones
the gay cavaliers serenaded their
friends. then went to their tents on the
lawn. Before daylight every officer
and man was in the saddle, galloping
toward the Potomac. where an ad-
vance party led by Colonel M. G. But
Ter, the present senator from South
Carolina. had preceded the cavalcade
to look out for the freedom of the ford
ing place.
Butler had sent handful of men
over the ford to capture a Federal
picket station on the Maryland side,
but the Yankees were too quick for
the Johnnies and got away. Butler
then dashed into the stream at the
head of the vanguard and deployed a
line of troopers around the ford Stu
arts whole command crossed without
alarm and struck out along the nation
al pike running from Hancock to Ha-
gerstown When Buffers vanguard
struck the pike. he captured ten strag
glers from General Cox's Federal di-
vision, which had just passed that
point on the way to Hancock. Cox's
division belonged to the Army of the
Potomac, which was at that time en-
camped in Maryland in the vicinity of
Hagerstown.
Fortunately for Stuart. there was
heavy fog in the valley that morning,
or his stealthy movements would have
been seen from the signal station on
Fairview heights, near Hancock. But
fogs have the gift of vanishing in
twinkling and to make sure the argus
eyes Oh the height should not reveal
his secrets to the army close at hand
Stuart sent twenty picked men to cap
ture the signal party. Crawling up the

A I.ny Suggestion.

On the last night OF a series of 'pro-
tracted meetings" in the Methodist
church OF little southern California
village the visiting evangelist was
making special effort to obtain a
showing of anx ious souls. He had
preached his best sermon and reached
an emotional fervor that he had seldom
eQualed. But nobody responded to his
invitation They sang hymn, and
then the evangelist rose again and call
ed upon the congregation to ''enlist for
the service of the Lord"

Relative Merits In BeefmaI<ing
Pork as Side Issue.
The Illinois agricultural experiment
station has been investigating the rela-
tive merits of silage and shock corn as
factors in beef production. An expert
ment was conducted on the extensive
farm of a Mclean county cattle feeder.
In the feeding of 5.33 acres of silage to
5 calves $50 acres Of crops other than
corn were used. In the feeding of 5.33
S4acres of shock corn to calves 5.68 acres
of crops other than corn were used.
: This difference may or may not be
found unavoidable. Among conclusions
Naarriyed at were the following;
1t requires third longer time to feed
can acre Of corn silage than an acre of
shock corn.
The average number of pounds of
gmeat made per acre from a system of

Last summer Mr.. Laurie Naurse, O
Bayfield,, Wis, served as a studen
missionary in Dane and Iowa coun
ties. He succeeded in finding needy
communities in both counties, and
convinced the county associations that
the summer student work should GO
on next year. His work closed with
the annual convention of the Iowa
County Association, and was voted to
be among the very best meetings tina,
associations had held in years.
The new Clifton and Liberty church,
dedicated Dec. s, by the Copgrega-
tional Home Missionary, Rev. +. N.
Dexter, of New London, Wis, may
very properly be claimed as an out
growth of our American Sunday
School Union work. During the past
ten years more than twelve Sabbath
schools have been organized or re-
organized within a radius of five
miles of the new church, in sig differ
ent school houses. Miss Lizzie Bur-
ton, the one most instrumental in
starting the movement for a church
building at the Hake graveyard, was
at the time superintendent of Union
Sabbath school. On Dec. |, | had the
pleasure OF organizing the Harper
Memorial Sabbath school, which has
already doubled in attendance. Dec.
80 l presented the new school with a
fine new library, the gift of Mrs.
Harper.
AT several points this year regular
preaching has been taken up by some
nearby pastor, and at two of the APP
pointments we trust within one year
to report new church buildings.
All the appointments opened up
last year and the year before still
have regular service. In some cases
decided improvement has been made
in the comfort and looks of the build
ing.
In one instance, much against my
desire, superintendent was chosen
who confessed doubt as to some bible
teachings. But | am pleased to say
God has touched that mans heart
through the children and now he is an
earnest believer in all of Gods Won
derful truth. During the past year it
has been through the blessing of the
Holy Spirit the means of salvation to
over thirty three souls, who now put
their trust in the precious blood of
the Lamb of God.
Pray that the American Sunday
School Union may through Gods in
finite blessing report even better
