Sheridan's Ride.


When the news of these events
reached the north there was a blaze of
enthusiasm. and the public. as if by
a common instinct, at once caught the
idea that Sheridan's ride would rank
as the most dramatic incident of the
war. Thomas Buchanan Reads fancy
was fred by a picture of the ride, and
in two hours he produced his immortal
epic. The following lines give an ex-
act picture of the facts on Sheridan's
arrival:
The first that the general saw were the
OF ~stragglers and then the r~etreating
What was done. what to do, a glance told
him both.
Then. striking his spurs with a terrible
oath,
He dashed down the line mid a storm of
huzzas,
And the wave of retreat checked its course
there. because
The sight Of the master compelled it 20
pause.
With foam and with lust the black charg-
er was gray.
By the flash of his eye and his red nos
trils' play
He seemed to the whole great army to
say
II have brought you Sheridan all the way
From Winchester town TO save the day"
Early retired up the valley to New
Market and Kershaw vas returned
permanently to Lees lines at Peters
burg. Sheridan took camp at Kerns-
town. The cavalry picketed far to the
front and was kept in saddle much of
the time by the activity of Rosser and
the rangers under Major Harry Gil
more and Colonel Jack Mosby.

Between 8 and 0 o'clock he started
through the town and noticed that the
citizens were alert. and some of them
seemed jubllant ove something privy
to themselves. The sounds of firing,
however. were growing louder and
nearer, as though the Federal troops
were retiring. A few miles brought
him to crowds of wounded soldiers and
the usual panic stricken mob that Is
always farthest from a battle and

ahead to form a guard across the pike

At the first assault Early's line gave

degree that In others has brought con

wAsHoE WEAVE
HUGE BASKET

The most valuable Indian basket
yet to be woven is under course of
construction by the squaws of. the
Washoe tribe near Carson City. 1t
will be completed shortly after the
first Of the year and will be a part
of the Nevada exhibit at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition. This
wonderful piece of Indian weaving
will be valuable not only be cause of
its size-15 inches in diameter at the
base but because of the many colors
and the fine and rare pieces of straw
that will be used in the weaving pro-
cess.
Genuine Indian dyes will go into
this basket and the strands of straw
will range from the thickness of a
piece of thread to that Of heavy cord
at least n inch in thickness. The
basket will be sold at the close of the
exposition to the highest bidder, the
proceeds to be devoted toward assist
ing a number of the Washoe tribe
who are destitute.
