Gen. Gordon's Stirring Description Of q Cav
airy Charge at Gettysburg.

A cavalry charge, met by a counter
charge of cavalry, is still, perhaps, the
most terrible spectacle witnessed in war.
If the reader has never seen such a charge,
he can form little conception of its awe
inspiring fury. Imagine yourself looking
down from Gettysburg's Hights upon the
open, widespreading plain below, where
5000 horses are marshalled in battle line.
Standing beside them are 5000 riders
armed, booted and spurred, and ready to
mount. The bugles sound the Mount
and instantly 5000 plumes rise above the
horses as the riders spring into their
saddles. In front of the respective squad
rOns the daring leaders take their places.
The futtering pennants or streaming guild
Ons, II to each regiment, mark the left of
the companies. On the opposite slope of
the same plain are 5000 hostile horsemen
clad in different uniforms, ready to meet
these in countercharge. Under those 1O, :
600 horses are their hoofs, iron-shod and
pitiless, beneath whose furious tread the
plain is soon to quiver. Again on each
slope of the open field the bugles sound
Ten thousand sabers leap from scabbards
and glisten in the sun. The trained horses
chafe their restraining bits, and as the
bugle notes sound the charge. their nostrils
dilate and their flanks swell in sympathetic
impulse with the dashing riders. For.
ward!" shouts the commander. Down the
lines and through the columns in quick
succession ring the echoing commands,
Forward, forwardw AS this order thrills
through eager ears, sabers fash, and spurs
are planted in palpitating fanks. The
madly-fying horses thunder across the
trembling field, filling the air with clouds
Of dust and whizzing pebbles. Their iron
trimmed hoofs in remOrseless tread, crush
the stones to powder and crash through
the flesh and bones of hapless riders who
chance to fall. As front against front
these furious riders plunge, their sweeping
sabers. slashing edge against edge, cutting
a way through opposing ranks, gashine
faces, breaking arms, and splitting heads
it is a scene of widest war, whirline
tempest of battle, short-lived but ter
rible.-Gen. John B. Gordon, in July
Scribner's.

The First Temperance Law.

A license law appears prominently in
the oldest known laws, those of Khan
muraba, King of Babyionia, which have
recently been discovered and deciphered. In
those days women exclusively, it seems,
were the saloon-keepers. The law is as
follows: 'If wine merchant has not re-
ceived corn as the price of drink, has re-
ceived silver by the great stone, and has
made the price of drink less than the
price of corn, that wine merchant one
shall put her TO account to throw her into
the water" A rather drastic penalty for
selling drink too cheap. 1t was, however,
less severe than the punishment for allow
ing disorder in licensed premises: 'If q
wine merchant has collected a riotOus as
sembly in her house, and has not seized
those rioters and driven them to the palace
that wine merchant shall be put to death"

HOW THEY YIELDED UP THE GHOST.
Some Short and Simple Annals of the Tomb
That Mitigate Deaths Sting.

The collection Of epitaphs goes on with
unabated interest. B. A. Leonard, Of De
pre-, Wis, contributes two which he found
in the cemetery at Baton Rouge, La, one
of them reading as follows:
'Here lies buried in this tomb
A constant sufferer from salt rheum,
Which finally in truth did pass
To spotted erysipelas.
A husband brave, father true,
Here he lies, and so must you"
On another stone was this inscription:
"Here lies the body Of David Jones,
His last words were:
Il die q Christian and a Democrat"
Within one mile of the Connecticut line
in SOuthbridge is a cemetery containing
q tombstone bearing this inscription:
"Dolly Clark,
wife of
Jonathan Green,
who died
March II, 1887,
age 45.
My sickness was severe,
Twas long and tedious. too;
My children's love was all in vain,

Alpine mountains, with fruit laden fields
of the olive, the grape, the fig, the prune
and the almond, all holding out the prom
Use of crops which will tax the ability OF
our great army Of workers to harvest.
You will see a beautiful city nesting
among sub-tropical groves Of every de-
scription, expanding as if by magic under
the impulse of riches from the products
of the soil in its own vicinity. The in,
come of the people of Riverside is about
| So, 900, 600 annually from the sale Of fruit

Till all shall know its story
In triumph may it wave.
Its white is light of morning,
Its blue is twiIight's skies,
Its red the clouds adorning,
AS Autumn's evening flies;
Its stars are paths of brightness
From heaven to light the earth
And in their brilliant whiteness
The joys of heaven have birth.
God bless our banners mission,
And may it bring the day
When hate and pride's ambition
From earth shall pass away;
When clouds or greed shall never
Shut out the heavenly rays,
But love and brightness ever
Hume all earthly ways.

one quarter concerning the identity of the

DRAW a straight line from the

DRAW straight line from the north to the south through Berry vile to divide Carroll county and you have east of such a line ap- proximately 3S3 square miles of territory and west of 260 square miles, showing that there is 123 square miles more territory in the east end of the county reckoning from the present seat of the eastern district, yet there are two county seats located in the western portion. It is a fact that Green Forest is not only nearer the geographical center of the Eastern district but is also nearer the center of the county than Berryville. Can any one deny that Green Forest has a just claim that the seat of the Eastern district should be located here?
