sToNEwALL JACKsoN's DEATH.

Of the accidents of the Civil War
period, perhaps the most striking was
the death of Stonewall Jackson at
Charlottesville. With the consent
of Lee, Jackson with thirty thousand
men on Mayo made a rapid, stealthy,
f1anking march of fifteen miles round
the Union right in order to attack
the corps under Howard At 6 in the
evening, while Howard's men were
resting, preparing supper, or playing
cards, all unconscious of danger,
sudden rush into camp of deer, rab-
bits and other wild animals apprised
them of the coming enemy. They
seized their arms and attempted to
form in battle line; but before they
succeeded the Confederates were up
on them. In an hour the corps was
cut to pieces and almost annihilated,
the survivors fleeing like madmen.
AS night fell the corps of Sickles and
the cavalry of Pleasanton planted
themselves in the way of the onrush-
ing Confederates and checked their
advance.
1t was then that Jackson, with a
portion of his staff, rode forward in
advance of his own lines to make
reconnaissance. His party were mis-
taken for a force of Federal calvary,
and received a volley from the Con-
federate line of battle which dis
mounted several of them. Jackson,
thus far unhurt, turned into wood
on the left; but had not gone far
before a Confederate brigade, kneel-
ing on one knee as though to receive
cavalry, discharged at distance Of
only about twenty yards a volley
that killed, wounded, or dismounted
all the remainder of the staff but two,
and severely wounded Jackson.
The wounded mans horse ran of
with him in the direction of the en-
emy, and the rider suffered a severe
blow in the face from low hanging
limb. The horse was caught, how
ever, by an aide, Jackson was lifted
from the saddle, and after great trou-
BILE was taken to a hospital in the
rear. There his left arm was ampu-
tated, and he was later removed to
the home of a Mr.. Chandler near
Guineas Depot. Incipient pneumonia
set in, and on Sunday, May 10, to the
sorrow of all Confederates, he died.
Thus, through accident, the Con-
federacy lost it's great military gen.
ius. Upon receiving the news of his
being wounded, but before his death,
Lee wrote to him, Gould 1 have d.
rected events, l should have chosen
for the good of the country, to have
been disabled in your stead" That
the South would have triumphed If
Jackson had survived is too much to
assert; but unquestionably the his
tory of the later campaigns would
have been much different. Of the
outcome of Charlottesville itself
Jackson said before his death, eff
had not been wounded, or had had
ore more hour of daylight, should
have cut off the enemy from the road
to United States Ford; we should
then have had them entirely sur
rounded; and they would have been
obliged to surrender or cut their way

THE FAVORITE PLAYMATE.

The baby's" mighty fond of us
And does just what we say.
We play just as our grandmas played. y,
It's in the blood, folks say
This love-that dates through many year,
Back to the long ago
That's why we like the cabin
And "the baby" so.
And every autumn when we've been
Far over land or sea,
Spending long months away from home
In strange society,
Right glad are we to turn again
From wandering many ways
To the little whitewashed cabin
Where "the baby" stays.

CHAPTER III.
THE DEAD MAN.

Vt WAS just at the end OF the SIX
months that Hungerford sent for
his new employee late one after
i noon. Cluett was bordering very
deeply at the time. bordering over a
string Of q dozen columns OF figures,
each of which tailed with the other one
to the very last penny.
A year ago this time he had been
guiding his newest machine along the
roads OF Southern France, and with the
same unaided, solitary concentration OF
mind-and the same perfect success.
Now he was quite as interested. quite
as satisfied, quite as successful, in his
task of guiding dollars over pages; and
he closed the big book with a faint
smile and slid down from mis- stool.
Huugerford's door stood open. He
walled in quietly and the president
greeted him with a smile and:
