The Fall OF Richm ond.

The Fall OF Richmond.
We were In the saddle bright and
early on the morning Of the Sd, and
found everything clear in our front.
AS the column moved out on the road
the joyful news was passed along that
Lees army was In full retreat, and that
Richmond was ours. The condition of
the road also proclaimed, Enthusiastically,
that we were close In the wake OF a
retreating army. Stragglers In butter
nut and gray uniforms In all stages OF
dHapidation were picked up In squads
the woods were literally full OF them.
The way was Uttered with brokendown
wagons, muskets, camp utensils. and
discarded equipments of all sorts Fires
had been started in the brush by the
roadside, and an abundance OF artillery
ammunition being scattered about, an
occasional unexpected explosion added
to the interest and excitement OF the
occasion. Three pieces OF artillery were
found concealed in the woods. some
distance from the road, and farther on
we came across the caissons and linn
bers which had furnished the loose am
munition.
Clusters Division had the advance,
and the rattle Of his carbines was soon
heard as he drove before him Fitz Lees
the morning had rendered Clusters men
impatient Of any delay. and rs the rear
guard Of the retreating army became
imprudently slow In its withdrawal, the
gallop was taken and q brigade ridden
down with the loss Of its commander
and many prisoners. Toward evening

position at Deep Creek. where. with the
assistance Of some infantry. he hoped
to repeat the performance OF the pre-

GEN. BARKSDALE.
One Of the Men Who Relieved Him o
the Field Heard From.

Editor National Tribune: I noticed
recently in your paper an inquiry made
by q comrade as to whether there were
any comrades living who helped him
carry Gen. Barksdale, ex-United States
Senator from Mississippi. off the field
after the second days battle at Gettys-
burg.
About dusk that evening I was in
charge of squad from my regiment,
each Of us carrying a canteen filled
with water. We were instructed to go
out over the field and give drink to the
wounded. Approaching a leveled fence
we noticed a prOminent-lOOking Con-
federate officer leaning against little
pile Of rails. He was bleeding and
weak from his wounds and loss OF
blood. We gave him water and he
drank copiously from a Yankee can
teen. At that moment Capt. James E.
Smith, of the 4th y. Y. Independent
Battery. stepped up and told me who
the distinguished Confederate officer
was. We left him q filled canteen
which I'm his weakened condition he
could only thank US for with q polite
nod Of his head. We passed on
distributing our supply Of water
and when we returned to the spot
where we had left the General we
found that he had been removed. Just
six years after this occurrence / remov-
ed TO Nebraska, and casually relating
this circumstance In the presence OF
Capt. Smith you can imagine his sur
prise at meeting one of that mercifu
water squad SO far away from the

Monday, Jan. 22.-The question of
regulating railroad rates occupied prac-
tically all Of the time of the Senate. to
the exclusion of everything else. The
galleries were crowded in anticipation
of Mr.. Spooner making a speech in de-
Tense Of the Administrations course In
Eanto Domingo. but the Wisconsin Sem
ator did not have an opportunity to
speak, by reason of the prolonged dis
cussion aroused by Mr.. Clay's argu
ment for railroad rate legislation.
Mr.. Gallinger tried Intellectually to
have a date set for vote on his ship
subsidy bill.
The House resumed consideration of
the urgent deficiency bill without con-
Guiding that measure.
When the item appropriating funds
for the Panama Canal Commission was

followed by Mr.. Culberson (Tex.) In a
brief speech arraigning the President
for "usurping the power OF the Senate
over the Santo Domingo treaty.
Another day was consumed in the
House in the consideration of the ur-
gent deficiency bill without final &C
ton.
The debate developed much criticism
of the alleged extravaganza of the Navy
Department and the diversion of the
fund for repair and maintenance OF ma
chinery to other purposes.
On a point of order the effort of the
committee to strike out the eight-hour
restriction relative to labor on the Pan
anna Canal was defeated.
Senate.
Jan. ALPHABETICALLY the entire ses-
sion of the Senate was devoted to dis
cussion of the Administrations course
in Santo Domingo and its participation

presented an elaborate and earnest de-
Tense Of the Presidents action in both
of these matters, and held the close at
tention of the Senate for nearly two
hours.
By vote of 1872 to 165 the organiza-
ton Of the House was upheld, and the
Joint Statehood bill brought before that
body with a rule prohibiting amend
ments Of any sort.

some EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENTS.
G. n. Noses Establishing a Large
Feed Yard on North Main.

What the farmers'will appreciate
is being put up by G. N. Moses
on his half block on North Main.
The old j. T. Stevens barn is be.
ing .remodeled, and a public feed
lot prepared. The lot will be
150x30O feet. with a watering
trough in the center, and sheds
around the North, East and South
SIDES, where teams can be put in
out of the sun and storm.
A ladies rest" room will be
fitted up, and all provisions made
for the care of teams and vehicles.
The premises are being now fitted
up, new feed stalls built, etc.
During the summer new build
ings will be prepared for the Ice
Plant, fronting east on Kansas
Avenue, and before next winter
Mr.. Moses will move his coal
yards over onto the same block
north of the Ice plant.
These improvements will. we
doubt not, be greatly appreciated
by the farmers, as all good
farmers will take the best of csre
of their teams and vehicles. The
stables will be conducted only rs
feed stables, with no livery bust
ness to interfere.

The Value Of a Good Temper.

It seems to us in these busy, working
days OF this busy, working world, that
our tempers are needing a little at
tention. All Of us know what a pleas
ure it is to have a cheerful, good
tempered person about us. Do we
have them? If not, why not? Where
is the trouble? Let us examine our
selves and see if the fault is in us or
in the other person. Some one says
that, Dr. William Henry Drummond
the poet Of the French Canadians, has
shown what he thought Of these quail
ties. He recently gave up his medical
practice to go into copper mining.
Part Of his duty was to engage a num-
Der Of workmen
In doing SO he astonished everybody
by radical departure from oldtime
methods. After asking some more or
less perfunctory questions regarding
a candidates. ability as a miner, he
would inquire:
Can you play the fiddle or concerto
ma? Can you sing?' !.
1t was noticed that unless the man
could give satisfactory answers to these
questions, he stood small chance Of get
ting work. But the wisdom of Dr.
Drummond's course became apparent
when At developed that nearly all the
men engaged we're good-humored and
sweet-tempered fellows, whose happy
spirits constantly kept the mining camp
in peace The quarrelso1ne person
found the camp too cheerful for his
moods and moved on.
Let us profit by Mr.. Drummond's
plan, and be sunny tempered, singing
our way through life, looking for, good
traits instead of bad ones, and help
each other to cultivate the good tenn
per.
