One who lay near them related the
story, and said that he left them with
their hands clasped in death.
In the same battle Maj. Colburn, of
the Second Connecticut, captured Ger
man who had been a member of the
Eighth South Carolina regiment.
The prisoner, with tears in his eyes,
said that his brother lay dying short
distance off, and asked to be permitted
to see him. The major not only con-
scented, but went with the man to log
hut but a few yards away.
On the north side of the hut lay a
confederate soldier with his eyes
closed and the gray pallor of death on
his face.
The prisoner spoke to him, and with
an effort he opened his eyes. The pris-
oner fell on his knees beside him, and,
kissing him, cried out in German:
'My brother! Oh, my brother, What
will our poor widowed mother do when
she hears that you are dead and am
prisoner"

1t was at Bull Run that stalwart
Irishman brought in three prisoners,
and when asked how he managed to
capture so many single handed, he
quickly replied:

Nothing can better illustrate rhe
power of first impression than the expe-
rience related to me by a soldier who
was for the first time under fire at
Bull Run, but who subsequently distin-
guished himself as an officer of unsur-
passed gallantry. He said;
Il must confess that | was thor
oughly frightened, though | stayed in
the ranks until we were ordered back.
After the first great fire of the enemy
upon our troops, a great many men fell
wounded all around.
And from many of them the cry
went up: oh, Cod have mercy on my
soul!' So earnest was the cry, and so
contagious, that l found myself making
almost unconsciously to myself the
same prayer over and over again, as I
was fighting: oh, God, have mercy on
my soul!

battle, though l had the opportunity,

The president o. downtown bank
has lately issued new order to the
numerous employees. He has been dis
turbed by the great accumulation of
bills representing stationery, pencils,
etc, which have been called for by the
clerks and others. The new order reads:
thereafter anyone in need Of supplies
will sign 2 written request for same and
deposit it with the cashier"
The first morning after the notice
was up somebody borrowed the cash
ier's scissors during his absence, and
left two disjointed halves of another
pair, upopn his desk. The cashier, who
believes in 'obeying orders if you

a requisition on the engineer for a

institute, to which they marched in per-
feet order.
They said afterward that they had
been so intent on obeying Old Jacks
commands that they did not realize what
was happening until he dispersed them
at the institute.

THEY OBEYED GOLD JACK"
SoneNaII JacksOn's Control Over Men
Illustrated by an Ante-Bel-
Ium Incident.

The power which was in the personal
presence of 'Stonewall" Jackson and
his influence over those with whom he
associated is well illustrated by an in
cident which happened early in 1861.
The convention which was to decide
the attitude of Virginia in the coming
conflict was in session in Richmond.
AS is well known, both the union and
the secession parties were strong in
the state, and the delegates to the con-
Vention were correspondingly divided in
sentiment, says Youths Companion.
The students and professors of the
Virginia military institute, situated in
Lexington, Va, were almost unanimous
ly in favor of secession. AT Washing
ton college, now Washington and Lee
university, in the same town, the union
sentiment prevailed.
One Sunday morning it was learned
that the national flag which had fioated
over Washington college had been pulled
down in the night, and was lying in the
mud. The students suspected that the
students of the Virginia military insti-
tute were responsible for the outrage,
but having no proof, contented them
selves with cleaning the flag and re-
placing it.
1t was not long before group of stu
dents from the Virginia military insti-
tute stopped on their way by, and, in
the light of open day, undertook to haul
the flag down. This time the Wash
ington boys were on the alert, and, fall
ing upon the depredators, handled them
somewhat roughly and beat them from
the grounds.
The report that number of Washing
ton men had beaten one cadet without
provocation threw the institute into an
uproar, and the whole corps immediate
ly turned out to avenge their comrade.
Aiming themselves with whatever they
could lay their hands on, they formed in
battle array and proceeded toward
Washington college Their adversaries,
although not so well drilled, armed
themselves in like manner, and awaited
the attack.
Jackson, then major, was in church,
but an excited whisper from a frightened
citizen who had hurried in appraised
him of what had happened. He calmly
rose and passed out, to find his whole
corps coming up the street in much dis
order, but with battle in their faces.
One glance at the scene, and his decision
was made.
AS quietly as he had left the church,
he placed himself at the head of the
corps, and began to give commands,
looking to the better order of the col
umn. The boys were reused to the
highest pitch of enthusiasm by the lead
ership of "Old Jack" and were quite
ready to kill every Washington boy who
opposed them. Promptly came the
necessary commands for their forward
movement, and the citizens stood aghast
Little by little the cadets fell into per-
| feet order, and little by little their ODE
dience to command became automatic.

PontiHs Once wore Red.

There. are many people who will
doubtless be interested to know that
it is only since the thirteenth century
that the popes have been accustomed
to wear white. Until that time they
were always arrayed in the red robes
now affected by the cardinals. Boni-
face VIII, in 1894, however, realizing
that the red was no longer a distinctive
color of the papacy since his predeces-
sors had accorded to their legates abroad
the right to wear it, issued a decree
granting to all the members of the sa-
cred college the red robes which they
now wear, and decided that white should
henceforth be the hue of the raiment OF
himself and of his successors. The
popes, however, still retain from these
ancient days the red hat which they
wear out of doors, and the red mantle
as well as the red shoes.-Detroit Free

Tie Progressive Decline ofZ1benty

The outlook is not hopeful. Forces at work in
all sections of the world point to the inevitable and
progressive decline of liberty under all forms of gov
eminent.
The recognition of the right of enforcing ODE
dence to the law is feature of autocratc systems
as well as of revolutionary and socialstic ideals
Modern technical Improvements have so strength
ened modern government that revolutions by force
have become impossible. And this being true, it
follows that the only effective means of securing true
liberty is to adopt religious conception of life.
