CHAPTER XIX.

KILLED IN FRONT OF THE GUNS.
How are the mighty fallen!" at
least in point Of numbers. Still under
the leadership of sharp-eyed, sharp
tongued Gibbon, the brigade has
trudged away to South mountain, feel
ing not a little cocky in its new name.
Manfully again has it grasped the hot
end Of the poker, being sent into
the very jaws Of Turner's gap
with Colquitt and his Georgians
directly confronting it, and Evans
raking the doubled line from
the hill on the right. Again does
the Seventh catch it hard from the
flank, losing more than a third OF its
men. Again do the Black Hats sail in
with their accustomed salcy vim and
vigor, tieing the Hoosiers in the total
Of losses. Again are the big "Napo-
leons," the pets Of battery. "B," lugged
into line, side by side with the Foot"
and nightly do they below and roar
in this resounding amphitheater-the
eastward slope of the ridge. 1t is the
second fierce fight in which these pow
erful guns, manned by picked men
from the brigade, take their share of
hard knocks with the four b~attaiions;
but a fiercer fight is yet to follow-only
three days away-one which YIELDS the
battery still more firmly to its sup
ports. On the far right flank, in front
of Sharpsburg, acros the sleepy An
tietam, it m in for its 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-
MES by sergeants, and as it is with
Jackson so it is with Longstreet,
whose brigades, like those Of Kemper
and Pickett, are cut to shreds, while
some battalions are reduced to the
front Of 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 10th, bears down from
the extreme flank upon the silent, wait
ing foe.

front, the old division moyes In to the

DEFINITIONS AND DERIVATION

The petriication agate was named for
the river Achates, in Sicily, where it was
first found.
A brochure is a small book, stitched,
not bound, SO named from the French
'brocher," to stitch.
by -law' owes the first part of itself
to the word bye the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin tamator," a
lover, means a lover of any particular
art, but not a professional follower Of it.
The American word boss" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
'baas,' Of the same meaning. 1t is de-
scended from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion in England and
the colonies mean a million millions.
in France and on the continent, as we'll
as in Che United States, it means a thou
sand millions.
The name ''calomel' means beautiful
black" and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is a white powder, the name is merely a
jocular missioner now.
The word 'Boer, applied to the Dutch
Inhabitants of the country districts of
the Cape of Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agriculturist. The Eng
lish word "hOor' had the same origin.
The word beverage has had many
changes in photography. 1t is found
spelled "biberedge," beverage" and
'beveridge." 1t comes from the Italian
"bevere," to drink, but more remotely
from the Latin.

THE HEART OF LINCOLN.

HE HEART OE LlNCOLN.
Solemn days are these that follow.
Losing over a third OF its force engaged
IN this furious initial battle, the bri-
gade shares the lot of the rest of the
army and, after two days more OF
fluitless lighting is ordered to fall back
on Washington. Many of the wounded
officers have been sent ahead, without
discrimination as TO friend or foe,
and Benton's general, broken down by
Illness and exhaustion, is borne by am
bulance to the capital, and bids Fred
go in search of his prisoner friend.
How the tables Of var have turned!
Four months ago that young Virginian
lay in clover at Charlottesville, petted
and soothed by the prettiest girls to
be found in the court of Queen Resale,
while Benton, q prisoner patient, moped
in huffy dignity and merited semi-ne-
elect. Now the Virginian lies in splints
and a stuffy room in parboiled Wash
ington, far from the pretty girls of
Albemarle, yet assiduously cared for
by their queen. Washington is now
one vast hospital, whose walls echo
night and day the moan of fevered
sufferer, the dull thunder. of distant
guns, the rumble of rolling cannon,
the tramp of soldier hosts, for Lee
has leaped the Potomac and gone ca
reering northward toward the Pennsyl-
vania line. Pope, Mcdowell and Sigel

leaves adhere closely together, and as

The aboye-described method of

commencement of the cultivation of this

is heard concerning it, principally on
account of the germs contained in the
horse manure, which is likely to rem
