his colors on one side of the battery and the other on another part. During this charge Color Sergeant Hardy picked up a long cavalry sabre on the field, and brandishing this in his right hand over the head of a Yankee artilleryman who was astraddle one of the guns of the battery and waving his flag in the other hand. he frightened the poor fellow near y out of his wits, and he dropped to the ground crying: T surrender. I surren- der"
 After capturing the battery we moved onward up and over the rising ground, the two color bearers still side by side. Just as we reached the top of this rising. ground we came to a fence, and cross ing this, we found ourselves face to face with a large body of 'Yanks' only short distance away. Our line fired upon them and they returned the fire, pouring a heavy voIley Into us. They then began to fall back. The two color bearers, my self and a young man by the name of Golson of the Sixth Alabama, were in a group together when this volley was poured into us. Color Sergeant Dennis Matagon of the Sixth Alabama was killed, and my gun was shot in two at the small of the stock Sergeant Hardy immediately picked up the flag of Ser geant Matagan, holding 1t in his left hand and his own in his right hand Inn
 
 down his gun and took this flag from Hardy, I picked up Golson's gun, and our line advanced rapidly onward after the fleeing Yankees, pursuing them un- til darkness stopped the battle.
 Our division was commanded by Gen. eral Rodes, our brigade commander, who was still brigadier, not yet having been promoted to major general. This ended the first days battle, the other two di- visions of our corps not enjoying the privilege of firing a gun in It. We re- mained at the front. at the point where the darkness had put an end to the fight, until about Il o'clock that night, when we were relieved by the "Old Stonewall division," and sent back to the third line, where under arms and in line we spent the remainder of the night
 While resting in line under arms that night the Third Alabama was located near a public road. Between 2 and 8 o'clock a. m. the attention of several of us was attracted by an ambulance which was accompanied by quite a number of persons moving slowly toward us from the direction of the front. When this am bulance reached us. we. believing that it contained some officer of prominence who had been wounded, asked who 1t was. The only reply we received was that 1t was a wounded officer" It was. we learned some time afterwards, none other than General 'Stonewall' Jackson.

~ OMRADES: need not remind you
 that at times 1t is a pleasant rec O reation, though one mingled with sadness to recall from memory's store house the thrilling scenes and incidents witnessed and participated In by you in the stormy days of the sixties. By re- quest of your commander it Is my prov ince on this occasion to recall for your entertainment some of, the scenes and incidents that came under my observa- tion
 The fall of 1862, and especially the month of November was a most beautiful and lovely season in the Shenandoah Val ley. Jackson's (StonewalD corps of Lees army spent the latter part of that month near the village of Mlddetown, in that lovely valley There was no fighting to engage their attention at the time. and they greatly enjoyed this restful season, following as 1t did tho hard and laborious campaigns of the summer and early fall. Rodes' Alabama brigade, composed at the time of the Third, Fifth. Sixth Twelfth and Twenty regiments, was a part of General D. H. Hills divis- ion of this corps. l was the color cor poral of Company II, Third Alabama reg iment
 Early in December the indications pointed to something on foot, and on the 7th of the month active preparations be- gan for moving On the morning of the Sth the order to fall in was given and the line of march was taken up. Privates in the ranks soon saw that the whole di- vision was in motion infantry, artillery, and wagon trains, though we had no idea where we were going, except that it was to meet the enemy. It was not long before we reached the village Of New Market, and we SAW that we were going to leave the valley behind and cross the mountains through New Mar ket Gap The sight presented by the corps crossing the Blue Ridge was one of the grandest and most inspiring of the many military pageants that l had wit messed. It was my good fortune to be

 AND AT FREDERICKSBURG

near the head of the column. I remem- Der perfectly the thrill that permeated my whole being as I looked back from the mountain top upon this living, nov ing column as 1t wound it's way in and out on the serpentine mountain road, up and along the mountain sides, the bright guns of the soldiers glistening in the sum light, the superb batteries of artillery, the ambulances and the army wagons with their white covers, reaching far back into the valley below
 The day was an ideal one, and the mountain atmosphere most invigorating. The scene presented was indeed a grand and inspiring one--one never to be for gotten The corps was in splendid trim in every respect, and was at least 30,000 strong.
 After four days and a half of hard marching we arrived at Fredericksburg in time to exchange courteses with Gen eral Burnside. and insist that he should change his battle cry, for that time at least. from "On to Richmond' to "Back. boys, over the river to Falmouth Hills" which he very reluctantly consented to do.
 The battle of Fredericksburg occurred about the middle of December, com mencing on the 18th of the month. Gen eral Burnside had been placed in com mand of the Army of the Potomac. as the federal army was called to succeed General Pope. who was so badly used by General Lee at Second Manassas. This army had been newly reinforced and re- habilitated and under their new com
 mander had boldly, proudly and conf dently started again to capture the cap
 ital of the Confederacy. The first im-
 pact. however. with the veterans of Lee
 shattered their ranks an forced their broken batallions to recross the Kappa hammock to seek safety. and surcease from sorrow and the ignominy of defeat
 After this battle our army remained in the vicinity of Fredericksburg for sev eral days Winter had already well ad-
 vanced. but up to this time there had | been no comfortable quarters for our
 soldiers. no shelter for their heads but | the sky above them. and no covering for their bodies as they slept upon the | cold wet ground but their tattered blank cts Nevertheless. with cartridge boxes

 'Meerschaum is mined like coal" said a pipe-dealer. Tt is a soft. soaplike stone, and in Asia Minor it's mining is an important industry.
 The crude meerschaum is called ham, tash It Is yellowish white in color, and red clay coat or skin envelops 1t. The blocks cost from s25 to s20o a cartload. They are soft enough to cut with knife.
 'Inese blocks in summer are dried by exposure to the sun. In winter heated room is necessary
 Finally, the meerschaum blocks are sorted into twelve grades, wrapped in cotton and packed in cases with tho greatest care.

CARING FOR PAINT BRUSHES.

Every housewife has, or should have,
one or more good paint brushes and
some cans of ready mixed paints.
Nothing brightens up woodwork of any
description more than n coating OF
good paint, and nothing saves the
scrubbing brush more. When done
with using the brushes, it will pay
her to take care of them, for their
uses are simply legion. Don't let
"John" borrow them; he should have
his own (Which You should cheerfully

The Value OF SiIage.

The best milk produced in the United
States, says G. n. Knapp, of the Wis
consin Station, as well as the milk pro-
duced at the greatest net profit, IS
milk produced from silaSe. The COWS
producing this milk are, of course, not
fed exclusively Oh silage, but it is be-
cause of the cheapnesS of SilaSe and OF
the intrinsic value Of silage as feed
that such milk can be produced and
produced so cheaply.
In the corn belt WI ere cattle are fin
ished for market anf men Of long cI-
perience make business, or profes-
sion, of producing beef. they find that
better beef, as we'll as more rapid
gains are obtained by feeding silage.
The steers are not fattened Oh silage,
but silage is a very important supple
ment to the fattening ration. Sheep
are found to utilize Silage to good ad-
vantage; many feeders make silage
more than half the winter ration Tor
their sheep. Hogs and horses are also
fed silage to advantage.
Because of such facts as these, which
are becoming more and more apparent,
the interest in silage and silos is grow
ing rapidly among Farmers who appre-
ciate the necessity of cheaper ration
as well as the Importance of a succu-
lent food. Silage is coming to be re-
garded as an indispensable adjunct to
successful farming.
