=. A Battlefield Joke

70 look ct General jack Hayes it
seems almost incredible that be could,
have served for forty.eight years in
the United States army because he
doesn't seem hardly older than that.
A wonderful career he has had, aud
1t is better than reading an historical
novel to hear him tell Of the old days
when, on the moaquito-covered plains
OF Texas, he fought the savage Conan
ches under Captain Carl Van Dorm
and Lieutenant Fitzhugh Lee, though
he aftcrward opposed these same men
who wero destined to rise to high rank
IN the Confederate army, and both of
them he cherishes as warm a regard
as in that heroic era when they fought
side by side. In narrating some of
his experiences General Hayes. said
the other day to o Washington report
err:
II was in q hot fight with the In
dams out in western Texas, in 1859,
in which Fitzhugh Lee received an
arrow in his side from the bow Of a
Comanche chief. Not one Of. his men
who crowded about him expected he
would live. His look was 80 CHASTITY,
his voice so faint, that we expected
every breath would be his last. My
heart was nearly broken, for Ihad the
same warm liking for him then I have
ever since cherished.
while we stood in q mornful group
around him n of the boys remarked,
at the same time exhibiting his hat,
with a bullet hole through the top,
They've got the lieutenant, and IL
the bullet that made this had gone
two inches lower, I'd have been a dead
man too
"At this Fitzhugh Lee opened his
eyes just a fraction, and as the ghost
OF q smile played on his pallid face,
observed: Jim, you needn't try to
impose any such yarn as that on US.
You got behind a tree, and shot that
hole in your hat yourself
"Then and there ( knew Fitzhugh
Lee wasn't going to die. A man who.
had life enough left to joke was sure
to get well."-New York Commercial.

A Plate OF Corn Bread.

when | got into the town Of Spar
tanburg, S. c., in the closing days Of
the C%onfederacy, l realized that our
cause was lost, aud my idea was to
get out of the country, cross the Rio
Grande and join the liberal faction in
Mexico" said Col. Philip B. Thomp-
son, the noted Kentuckian, 10 q chat
with friends at the New Willard.
II was feeling very hungry when T
struck the town in the early morning
hours and made up my mind that I'd
ask the lady Of the first house struck
that had any appearance of prosperity
to give me q bite Of breakfast. I
picked upon an aristocratic brick man
sion, and putting on a bold front,
marched up to tho front door. In
answer to my knock a well-dressed
negro butler came and civilly asked
my business. I told him I wanted a
word with his mistress and pretty
soon a very handsome lady, elegantly
attired, came and listened patiently
while I told her that only the pangs
of hunger drove me to ask a breakfast.
81 will willingly ask you in to eat
said she, if you can put up with our
fare. We have scarcely anything our
selves, and / am ashamed to invite
you TO the table, but if you are SO
hungry perhaps you can put up with
what we have / followed her most
willingly and was. ushered into q spa
cious- dining room. The table was
spread with q snowy linen cloth, there
was plenty Of silverware. the real
thing, and more out glass than I had
ever seen.
But what do you suppose the meal
consisted Of? A single item-a plate
of corr bread. Not q blessed thing
besides this bread. no meat, no coffee,
no milk-not the suspicion Of another
dish. Hungry as I was, I ate a good
sized chunk Of the bread and on leav-
ing heaped blessings on the head Of
my benefactress, but Eve never eeas-
ed to wonder at the pauoity Of that
breakfast menu, and so oddly con-
trasted with the fine home and its
luxurious Observation-Disclosures

Two Of the men picked him up
tenderly and began to carry him to

Riley, looking up, saw Gears in his

recalled to life. He forced q bloody
laugh.

A Brave Irishnlan

soldiers cardinal virtues, which, sum
med up, read the plain aud simple
doiDgs of ones duty. And it was in
Rice Graves battery before Fort Don
olson that the virtues Of the Confcd-
crate soldier were tried to the utter
most, said the old staff officer.
Among them all Tom RILEY, the
orderly, shonc out rcsplcndcntly, for
he went to certain death against or
ders because he thought it was his
duty. Graves battery had been got
up in the lower part Of kentucky.
NO married man nor men with sweet
hearts need apply had been the order
OF the captain in organizing it. And
the battery looked the part. They
were the dare-devils Of Donelson.
They would sing while they shot and
crack jokes repulsing a charge. The
captain had made Riley orderly to keep
the wild lrishman in order. Between
the two there was an affection almost
brothcrly.
"On the second day Of Donelson
graves battery was in a mighty tight
box. The battery had been ordered
into the rifle pits, and it seemed to
the men that about a million bluecoats
were shooting at them. For hours
they lay under the leadcn storm. The
enemy kept coming closer and closer.
Something had to be done. To show
ones head above the trenches meant
death.
Kun out a gun and let 'em have
it, boys said Graves.
Zone round was fred, but it seemed
only to bring down on that spot every
Federal gun in reach. To reload the
Confederate piece one man had to
show himself. The gunner sprang to
his place, rammer in hand. The piece
vas reloaded, but the fell
dead Again the gun from Graves
battery spoke. a second time it was
reloaded, and a second oonnoneer Law
dead beside his piece.
Time after time this was repeated.
The dead piled up about the gun.
The entire Federal fire concentrated
in an effort TO silence it. It took two
men now for one shot. The battery
boys had quit joking. They lay grim
and determined in the pit. AS one
fell the others moved up toward the
gun. The nearest would say, Good
by, fellows and jump to his place,
only &c fall a minute later. The cap.
tain had ordered Tom Riley to stay
behind when the battery wept into the
pits, but scarcely had tho men got set
tied before Riley appeared.
Il couldn't help it., SIR he said to
Graves and took his place among tho
men. Slowly death worked its way
along the line toward Riley. Now he !
was three, then two and one before
the captain knew it. Then Graves saw
the dauger. i
Come here, Riley he cried. You
are not a gunner. You are my order
ly: You have no business there
1.-The o before Riley fell
dead. The wild Irishman seized the
rammer and turned {, the captain.
1t is my duty, sir, he said.
"Then as though on parade, but
with desperate swiftness, he began to
load the gun. A shot knocked him to
his knees, but he staggered up again
and finished the work. Then he tura.
ed and bowed in the direction OF tie
bluecoats.
"'Why don't ye Learn how shooh7' |
he yelled.

fell bleeding from half a dozen wounds. |

"Dr. Wright received a message from
Boise yesterday afternoon at ; o'clock

A. wilson, the young operator who at
tempted suicide some time since and
whose life was saved by the skillful
treatment of DR.. Wright. He is now
past the danger point and if cOmplicat-

No strike of the consumers against the

granting of big advance in wages. They

star
In West Virginia the operators have
conferred and reached the conclusion
that they cannot compete with Nova
Scotia coal, now duty free.
Now, isn't it probable that both the
'big advance in wages and "free coal,
confessedly reactionary results of strikes
and threats of strikes, are the causes of
slack work?
The JOURNAL, sincerely believing that
labor is often compelled to unite and
stand united fears that it is not as far
seeing sometimes as its interests de
mand
business conferences between operators
and miners would fully open to each
both sides of the question.
Instead of advancing wages here to 80
cents, suppose the operators had met and
told the miners something that WAS not
heard in the assembly room-"we will
give You more for each ton, but some re-
cent happenings compel Us to assure
you that we believe you will have less
tons to dig
Now, which is better 100 tons at SO
or 60 tons at 500?
Considered for the year round, would
not query of that character give pause
to any precipitate movement?
