WADE HAMPTON'S HORSE.
The Story of Beauregard, Who Died
at Gettysburg.


at Gettysburg.
General Wade Hampton, who sue
ceeded Stuart in command of the Con-
federate cavalry of the Army of North
ern Virginia. had SO many horses
wounded and killed under him that it
was hard to keep account of them.
More than any other officer in the
service of the south, he had large re-
serves of horsefiesh to draw from and
Of the very best blood in the country.
His father was not only very large
breeder of thoroughbreds, but imported
numerous noted horses from England,
the home of the modern thoroughbred.
The most noted runner the Hamptons
owned was the famous Black Maria,
which in one race of split heats ran
twenty miles, an event unparalleled up
to that date.
General Hampton rode none but
horses of the proudest lineage. The
one he best liked on account of his
superb courage and endurance was a
sixteen and a half hands bay, de-
scribed as the handsomest horse in the
Confederate army. He was named
Beauregard He was wounded at Get
tysburg soon after his master was
borne from that stricken field He fol-
lowed the general to the hospital. There
he was unsaddled and unbridled; then,
throwing himself down outside the hos
pital tent, he Washington Star.

1.-THE late General Joe Wheeler said
southerner, was one of the bravest
men who ever lived. He was wounded
three times during the civil war and
sixteen horses were shot dead under
him.
yet it was not his military but his
literary achievements that he took
most pride in. He knew this was fool
ish, but he could not help it. He said
once to me, alphabetically, that he was
not the only man whose pride was mis-
placed.
He said that in certain engage
ment in his youth he once heard pri-
vate swearing and cursing most fright

Lieutenant Wheeler, as he was then.
went up to the private and said sternly
"'Where did you learn to swear like
that?

ContagiOn and Infection.

The terms contagion and infection
are too often used promiscuously,
though they are by no means synony-
nous. The dissemination of mycotic
diseases takes place in different ways.
There are those which cannot be COM
municated from person to person. but
spread only by the microbic cause in
vading the individual To this class be-
long malarial fevers produced by spas
modia. There are, secondly, those
which are not communicable from per-
son to person. but through external car
riers only. such as soil, water, food,
air, clothing and utensils. To that class
belong yellow fever and Asiatic chol-
era. They are infectious. There are.
finally, those which may be transmitted
directly from a person or indirectly
through carriers. 10 this class belong
scarlet fever. measles. diphtheria. vari-
ola, influenza, erysipelas and varicella,
perhaps also whooping cough. They
are contagious and infectious.

He wore the nations blue.

can be stopped, however, until the
liquor traffic is abolished. n
