First corps, in to its bloody baptism. The confederate flank is covered by Stuart and his dashing horse batteries, and there is abundant room and more than abundant need for similar troops between Doubleday's right and the river, but not so much as a squadron rides where it may be of such infinite service. Mcclellan holds his horses east of the dividing stream, for again, as on the peninsula, are his forces thus bestowed.
 Full 500 yards. almost due south, march the doubled lines in blue, Meade's little division of Pennsylva- nians alongside and east of Double days. Hatch's old brigade is on the left of Gibbons, Patrick in it's rear, in support, and for time the Sixth Wis consin, at the post of honor, has the Hagerstown road on it's right for a guide. But now comes thin patch of woods and a turn-only slight turn in the line of the pike, and here, little by little, through pressure from the center, the first company begins to edge out over the highway, the second follows, and by the time they are bursting through the barnyards and farm enclosures at Miller's. and the shells have changed to shrapnel and men are dropping fast, the entire right wing of the Sixth is across the pike and wading through that westward field. Then up the pike, just as at Gainesville. comes galloping battery s'B," and into the farmyard it turns, and there, whirling the guns in line to the south, delivers its resonant an- swer. The Sixth is just striding out from the cornfeld and into the woods to the west of the road when, sudden as thunderbolt, there bursts the crash of an infantry volley, and from front and right flank, so close that the smoke jets forth in their faces, low aimed lead storm shrieks through their
 ranks and down goes half the wing.
 Then blaze the whole west wood and the hedgerow south of the cornfield,
 and all from an unseen foe! Flesh and blood cannot stand such a gale
 in the open. The survivors swing back
 to the highway, rallying instantly at the edge of the field, and there, flat on their faces, they take vigorous hand in the fight, while Patrick's men, close
 at their heels, rush in to prolong the line to the right and fill the gaps at
 the front. Five minutes-and both woods, east and west, and the inter- vening cornfields are in dense clouds of sulphur smoke, for Ricketts, too, has come up with his division on the left of the corps, and a battle of giants is ! on.
 But vain are the efforts of Hooker's brave men. Three fine, disciplined di- \ visions he has led to the field, think ing to turn an exposed left flank, while

yrort or a platoon. Yet these are, the fellows, less than 10000 all told, who, backed up to the great river, with all their trains and all their wounded to care for, still confidently look to Lee and serenely face Mcclellan, whose force in men and guns is more than twice their own.
 Doubleday it is who now takes the lead and, crossing the Antietam on the afternoon of the 16th, bears down from the extreme flank upon the silent, wait ing foe.
 First in column as 1t circles the front, the old division moves in to the morning attack at the right of Hook CTS embattled line, and right of the line of the old division is the doubled rank of the old--the Iron-brigade. It is the dawn of a dreadful day.
 Tn grove toward the Potomac, backed by ridge, Stuart's restless horsemen and Pelham s ready guns are lurking, hidden from our view. So are the crouching guardians of the groves and fields to the south.

 And, just as before, not man of the hostile line is seen when the guns be- gin the battle. Off to the left front, near the east wood, a southern battery spies the blue battalions issuing from the skirt of the northWard wood nearly a mile away, dressed on their waving colors, the skirmishers trotting well out to the front.

KILLED IN FRONT OF THE GUNS.

Still under the leadership of sharp-eyed, sharp tongued Gibbon, the brigade has trudged away to South mountain, feel Ing not little cocky in it's new name. Manfully again has it grasped the hot and of the poker, being sent into the very jaws of Turner's gap with Colquitt and his Georgians directly confronting it, and Evans ralxing the doubled line from the hill on the right Again does the Seventh catch it hard from the flank, losing more than third of it's men.

On the far right flank in front of Sharpsburg, across the sleepy An tietam, it comes in for it's hardest pounding of all the stirring campaign.
 But by this time, mid September, as Lees daring, determined followers halt on the heights of the old Maryland town, with the Potomac encircling them from northwest to south, the winding Antietam protecting their front, how cruelty are they, too, re- duced in numbers! Our old opponents, the ..Stonewalls," in their entire array can barely muster 500 men. Regiments are commanded by captains, compa- nies by sergeants, and as it is with Jackson so it is with Longstreet, who's brigades. like those of Kemper and Pickett, are cut to shreds, while same hattalions are reduced to the

ROSE JARS.

The vogue of the rose jar is a sign of the times It has come back to us with the ruff1ed muslin frocks, poke bonnets and other fancies of our great-grandmothers day. All over the country girls are preparing these little shrines to the queen Of
 flowers. The rose jar of her great
 grandmother is the rose jar to which the modern girl aspires, and every man and woman who has passed the half-century mark is being beset these days to try to remember how yOun
 mother made her rose jar.'
 And then the memory of the person thus adjured goes back to the quaint old parlor in his childhood's home with it's Chippendale table, on which stood the precious rose jar, and he re- calls the ineffable sweetness of it's perfume waited through the room.
 ..Last month I visited the old sfarm house where I was born," said an old
 man the other day, '.and although ev., erything was changed and new fan
 gled things had supplanted the old mothers rose jar filled that parlor, and it's subtle perfume awakened mem- ories long asleep. I remember how
 early in the morning, while they were
 still heavy with dew, she used to go
 out and gather her apron full of the
 roses that were just past their full bloom.
 .'She gathered the cabbage roses, the maiden's blush, the moss and the crimson roses they now call Jacque-
 minots. There was also cinnamon
 rose and a white rose, the sweetest things one ever smelled. All the yari- cites of roses my mother gathered. She would shake their petals and the pollen into the rose jar and then sprin- kle over them a very little salt, then | a few crushed cloves and tiny bit l of mace Then she covered the jar.
 Every morning fresh roses were put into the jar and spiced and packed till l it would hold no more. Whenever we had company the cover was lifted from the jar and the room made de- 1 licious with its perfume
 The rose jars of, the present day are more perfect in their construction
 than were the old ones. The new
 ones have two covers. One is perfor- l ated and the other close, SC that when one wishes to enjoy the perfume one has only to remove the top cover and i the perfume comes through.-New York Globe.

0eld forth grimy T.-slld. US BOD, he cried Don't you know me, father?" And Lee, the cavalier, bent low and with love and tenderness, with who can say what pride and rejoicing, clasped the hand of the private soldier in the Rockridge artillery, his gallant younger son. In what other army would one see the like of that!
 Then the general rode on toward the Bunker church, where still the men of \ Jackson lay in readiness, and then up- rose rank after rank with mighty shout that marked his onward going ad2wn the weary yet intensely loyal line until lost within the distant walls of Sharps- burg. Despite the dire carnage of the day of battle, there beat no soldier heart in all the southern host that was not true to Lee.
 Presently, as the time accorded for their sad mission had we'll nigh ex- pired, Benton was aware of 9 young officer, in the uniform of the horse ar tillery, who had been chatting with comrades across the way and now, dis mounting, stepped briskly toward him, lifting a jaunty forage cap.
 Your pardon, sir,'' he courteously spoke. .'Is this Capt Benton who visited Charlottesville not long ago? My name is Pelham and there was just the suspicion of a smile in the keen young face.
 Captive, but not captain an- swered Benton, with responsive grin, though the mention of the name was something that put him on his guard. What was it young Winston had said about Maud Pelham and Rosalie? This must be the boy captain of the name, of whom he had heard so much-Jeb Stuart's crack light gunner.
 "Yes, have cousins there," con- tinued Pelham, as though reading Ben tons thoughts. But it is long since we met. You are the man, as hap pen to know, who showed so much courtesy to Lieut. Winston, as we'll as to Jack Chiffon. Now you can do me favor if you should see Dr. Chiffon, and that is, tell him for me that the men at the front utterly disapprove the doings of that self-styled citizens com mittee at the rear. Those people," he went on disdainfully. '.are too old or too feeble-minded to fight like men. They stab like women.''
 Tt will comfort them-or rather the doctor-to get such a message from : you, Capt. Pelham" answered Ben ton, almost eagerly, land I shall see that he does get it. I shall write at once. You can do me a favor, too, if you will An old school friend of mine, Paul Ladue, is staff officer in Ewelps division. Give him a greeting for me. will you?'
 "Ladue,' said Pelham, his fine fea- lures clouding instantly. T fear-I heard Oh, Capt. Lamar" he called, what Lieut.. Ladue was it brought that note Wednesday morning to Gen. Stuart?"

CORELEss APPLES.

I see by clipping from your paper that John F. Spencer has by some proc- cess been able to produce the blossom less, seedless and coreless apple. That apple has been grown at Broadway, o. for more than ninty years.
 The apple is a freak. 1t was found by man by the name of Ford while hunting near the headwaters of the SciotO River. He brought home some gratis and grafted some young trees and produced the seedless apple long before MT. Spencer was born. I got the above from members of the family some thirty years ago while working along the Erie Railroad. His descrip- tion of the apple is correct in every particular as I am of the opinion that MT. Spencer has in some way got some scions of the freak and grafted them in his trees. The apple is small, white in color and very sweet.-(Willis Scott in Rochester Democrat)

notebook in hand Suddenly the talk ing ceased, for, issuing from a narrow roadway that trended westward from the pike, there came a tall. command ing-looking officer, gray-bearded, yet alert, soldier who acknowledged with grave courtesy the salutes that greeted him on every hand. Men sprang to their feet and gazed at him almost in adoration. Even the wound ed strove to rise. Some few hailed him with feeble, childish voices. As for Benton and his two associates, they needed not the little group of staff and orderlies to confirm them in their be- lief. They knew him at a glance-the great Virginia leader-and Benton, in- Stantly, the others following, stepped forward and stood at salute. Lee saw it, and turning so as to half face the northerners, with punctilious courtesy lifted his hat, then quickly refined back as Undiscovered, battle-stained bat tery came jingling out from the lane and, turning into the highway, pulled Wearily on to where the spires of the Maryland town pierced the blue be- yond the southward wood. Jaded and worn were the horses, black and pow der-stained the men, and of a sudden one of these, a slender stripling, jog ging along beside his gun, caught sight of the group of horsemen, darted from his place to where the commanding general, the picture of the soldier and the gentleman, sat in saddle at the roadside. and there. with boyish laugh,

An Old Claim Unpaid

A petition has been filed with
the clerk of the state supreme
court by Alber Small, who seeks
to secure payment from the state
of Idaho of SI,464. oS with interest
from May 2, 1893. The petition
is revival Of an old claim grow
ing out of the erection of the Idaho
building at the Columbian expo
sition in Chicago, in 1898. The
petition recites that in ISo2-o3 the
petitioner and c.. w. Colby were
engaged in the lumber business in
Shoshone county, Idaho; that
lanes w. Wells, commissioner
from Idaho to the worlds fair
purchased for the state lumber at
an agreed price of SIS, ,465,68, to be
used in the erection of the Idaho
building; that on March 8, 1893,
Wells paid the said firm $4,000 on
account; that the remainder ol
said account was not paid, because
the bank in which the money ap
propriated for the state building
was deposited, failed and sale
funds were lost. The petitione'
closes with the prayer: That upor
the facts being found in favor o
