ANOTHER BULL.
Will the Errors of the Revision Com

Will the Errors of the Revision Com mittee Never Cease?
 The New Haven county commission CTS opened their eyes wide this morn ing, says the Leader, when a man pre- sented an application for license to sell liquors in Stony Creek. The con1- missioners had supposed that Stony Creek was a no-license district, as it has been separated from Branford in regard to the operation of the local op- tion law. .=.-. /. -
 But the claim is made that the statute revision committee changed the law so that Stony Greek, as hamlet, couldn't vote independently from Branford on the license question. Stony Creek has voted by itself and voted no license, X while Branford has voted for license. Now that the whole town Is included in the operation of the local option law, and Branford has voted license, the men who are inclined that way are get ting ready to maintain saloons.
 This seems to be another of these "errors'' committed by the statute re- vision committee and one that isnot to be remedies for two years at least Some of the other errors have been remedied by the legislature just closed.
 The county commissioners took the Stony Creek application under advise ment. They may consult counsel in the matter.

 Do you think it will rain to-mor- row?o asked the pretty girl behind the desk of the man who had been hav- ing some films developed and printed.
 fs.No,'' replied the customer, what makes you ask ?''
 Eff it only would rain there would be some let-up in the work here. We've been rushed to death with Memorial day work. Memorial day is the heav- jest day of the year with photographic supply shops. Last year every man in the developing room worked until Il o'clock every night for q week, and there was an extra rush for the week after that I do hope it rains to-mor- row, anyway"
 A rainy Sunday in the summer time costs the New York shops that deal in photographic supplies many thousands of dollars in the matter of printing and developing flms and plates alone. When one adds to this the cost of the films and plates before they are ex- posed the amount runs up into heavy figures. The average size films and plates are the 31a by s3b and the 3A by AZ. The number of these sold in one shop in preparation for Sun day averages 72 of each and as they sell for 2T cents and 32 cents respect ive1y for a roll of six films the initial outlay in the 800 photographic supply shops in the. city would amount to something in the neighborhood of S4O0O Although the clerks in these shops may sigh with relief at the prospects of rainy Sunday the pro- prietors have cause to sigh for another reason.

colors of the Fifty-thfrd Illinois.
 stThe recall was sounded, and what was left of the gallant brigade rallied around the remaining colors. There were gathered around the old stars and stripes of the Forty-hrst forty y.seven men, some of them slightly wounded. Sergeant H. M. Streeter Of Argenta carried this nag, and with his flagstaff shot in two and the flag torn and rid dled with bullets and shells he brought it of the field in triumph Over two thirds of the men who had gone into the charge had been killed and wound ed or taken prisoners. It was a fear ful mistake on the part of some one. General sLauman was placed under ar rest. He demanded an investigat ton, but died without any being ma0@. His mind became deranged breeding over this fearful charge. He always said that he was not to blame for the great loss of his men.
 On the 14th a flag of truce was sent to General Johnston by Sherman, and there was cessation of hostilities for two hours to bury the dead, which was done by the Confederates. We were permitted to be present on the field in order that we might recognize our boys. On the 18th General Johnston evacuated Jackson and our army re turned to Vicksburg. There was no charge during the war that was more disastrous to the number engaged than the charge at Jackson, Miss, July 12 1Sea''
 Colonel Pugh put the strength of his brigade at S80 men and the casualties of the charge 535 in all Colonel Lee was twice wounded. but says that. he was not counted among the casualties and he thinks at least 100 casualties in the brigade did not get reported. The colonel of his regiment, John H. Hale was stunned and disabled, and Colonel Aaron Brown of the Third Iowa SC. verely wounded.

MOON AND TFE WEATHER.
A Theory, Regarding Lunar Effects
 Upon Atmospheric Changes.

A Theory. Regarding Lunar Effects Upon Atmospheric Changes.
 The weather is a very fruitful topic of conv ersation these days and the probabi lities of g. change from partly cloudy weather to sfair weather with rising temperature'' are being discussed by almost everybody, Even the post office scandals as a topic of converse. ton and discussion fade into fnsignifl- canoe beside that Of the weather. It was the same during the latter part of the dry spell, which has now been almost forgotten. When the rain first came almost everybody was de- lighted, and now almost everybody is perfectly willing that there shall be a change.
 < A great many people are expecting that when the new moon comes there will be a change in the weather from rain to sunshine.
 More careful observers of the infiu ence of the moon upon the weather have another theory. According to that theory not every change in the moor brings a change in the weather, but only 8 change that comes under tht right circumstances and at t1he r1gn1 time. If the moon changes in the day it means fair weather, but if il changes fin the night it means rainy weather. There is to be new moor on Thursday of the present week, but according to t1lis latter theory this wil not bring settled fair weather because the change comes in the night, at :21 a. m. This theory is supported by the experience of the last few weeks SrNT. .w.A. 4Em @ June 1S, at a. n., and the full moor on June 9 came at 10:24 D, nn., whicf is in the night. @ N This theory gives promise of settled weather beginning with the first guar ter of the moon on July |. This change comes in the afternoon at Ait o'clock. This theory may be a new one tos1hany people who will watch the weather with interest until there IS { change and then will forget all abou

be an assault made on the enemy's works, for he was four miles away at the time of the charge and knew noth- ing of it. We had been maneuvering all the morning In the timber, driving fhe Confederates back and slowly ad- vancing until we had them into their works and had gone to the edge of the Timber that lay along the open field in front of their works. Colonel Pugh saw that to advance farther meant an assault or sure death in open field. He ordered the men to lie down to protect themselves from the shells of the ene- gny, which were flying oyer our heads fn lively manner. Just then an or- derly rode up to General Lauman. and handed him an order, which he read and immediately sent Colonel Pugh Forward.
 Scarcely had the word been spoken when the remnants of these four old regiments, about 900 men in all, moved forward with terrific cheer that all most made the earth tremble. Forward they go, right into the jaws of death, for they are facing the famous New Orleans Light artillery, one of the finest batteries in the field; also Me- bane's Tennessee battery, Cobb's Ken lucky battery and General Breckin- } ridges division of veterans, behind in1- pregnable breastworks.
 "A large house had been torn down gn front of the works to keep the Bed erai troops from making lodgment, and the piano had been taken into the parapet of the Louisiana artillery, and the boys were singing and playing when the blue line bore down upon khem. Instantly the notes were hushed, and the heavy shriek of the shrapnel and shell was heard sweeping death and destruction over that fatal field. On goes the charging column; but, see, the ranks are falling like wheat before the sickle. The batteries are using F double charges of grape and canister on them and the air is laden with iron hail.
 "A section of the Fifth Ohio battery Follows up the charge, and see those gallant boysl Every horse is killed and almost every man who belonged to the battery has gone down in the struggle to help out the infantry. We look again and see the shattered line has reached the breastworks and some have gone over them into the ranks o1 the enemy only to be made prisoners Colonel Pugh, as soon as he could make his voice heard above the din of battle, gave the order for recall. But it was too late. Oh, the carnage of that hour, the sad havoc of some off. cers mistake! Out of those 900 who went in the charge history gives the figures that 645 were killed and wound. ed. There were a few made prisoners of war who had charged over the en. emy's works.

 engaged in what the participants call the most disastrous charge of the war. The following is the narrative of Colonel B. T. Lee, who led a company of the Forty-f1r Illinois that day and was twice wounded:
 .'On July 5, 1868, just after the Bed eral army had captured Vicksburg, with its 27,0oo prisoners and all the paraphernalia of the forts, with the thousands of small arms, General w. n. Sherman was ordered by Grant to proceed to Jackson, Miss, and drive the Confederate army under General Joseph B. Johnston from Jackson and the Mississippi valley. Sherman took with him 35,000 men, including Lau- mars division of the Thirteenth army corps, commanded by General E. 0. c. ord.
 tgThe line closed in on the city and drove the Confederates back to their breastworks.> The city was invested from Pearl river on the north to the Mississippi Central railroad on the south. Laurnan's division was ordered to take position on the south, and Colo nel Isaac c. Pugh's brigade, composed of the Twenty eighth, Forty-frs and Fifty third Illinois and Third Iowa in- fantry, was selected to fll the gap be- tween the railroad and PeaAl river and drive the enemy into his works.

The colors were the special targets of the enemy's artillery. The blue field flag of the Forty first Illinois had two of it's bearers wound ed and four killed. The last to hold this flag was Sergeant Samuel B. Hall Of Company F. He was wounded twice. The last time he was shot he { fell near the Confederate works, and two big tJohnnies' took his flag from him. The flag was sent to Richmond as trophy of war and returned to the regiment in 1866. It is now in Memorial hall tn the statehouse in Springfield, stained with the b2epd of the brave boys who went down under meath its folds that day at Jackson.
