An incident in the army life of Lieu
tenant General j. B. Gordon, of the
army OF Northern Virginia, is going
the rounds of the press in somewhat
misstated form. The correct render
ing is as follows: The Generals wife
followed him through all the war, re-
naming as close to his command as
circumstances and non-interferencc
with his duty would permit. On the
day of the battle of Winchester, Mrs.
Gordon was staying at the house of a
friend in the town. BY ten o'clock in
the morning the General, seeing that
the day would probably go against
the Confederate forces, sent a messenger
to her to leave TIE town at once; but
as shells We're then bursting in the
streets she was not able to get her car
riage in readiness. All day long the
Confederate forces, steadily driven
back in disorder, kept passing through
the town. Mrs. Gordon viewed the
sight with what composure was possi-
bic, until she saw troops belonging to
her husbands corps pass her house in
disorderly retreat. This was too much
for silent observation. The General
then commanded Stonewall Jackson's
old corps, and his dash and unvarying
success, thus far, had given him the
name in the army of the "Second
Stonewall," and she could not realize
that his men had any right to be re-
treating. So, with the enthusiasm Of
the moment, she ran into the street
and for hours rallied the flying men,
and turned hundreds back to the front.
After n while the retreat of the Gen-
erals command, which brought up the
rear, became, too, almost rout, and
as he fell back through the town he
rallied his men at every street corner for
a momentary stand, when suddenly
he came into mcst unexpected sight
of his wife, whom he supposed by that
time at least twenty miles in the rear.
She was in the midst Of the retreating
troops, where balls were flying and
shells bursting, and at that moment
had soldier by each hand, whom she
was in the ac. of turning back.

the peoples necks and kissed them
tenderly, and went away with them,
down avenues Of light, and were 50
happy in their company, that lying I'D
the bed he wept for joy.


But there were many angels who did
not go with them, and among them one
he knew. The patient face that had
once lain upon the bed was gloriied
and radiant, but his heart found out
his sister among all the host.


His sisters angel fingered near the
entrance of the. star, and said to the
leader among those who had brought
the people thither--


as my brother Gomez"


And he said "No."


She was turning hopefully away,
when the child stretched out his arms,
and said ooh, sister, am here
Take mel" and then she turned her
beaming eyes upon him, and it was
night; and the star was shining into
his room, making long rays down
toward him as he saw it through his
tears.


From that hour forth the child
looked out upon the star as on the
home he was to go TO, when his time
should come, and he thought be did
not belong to earth alone, but TO the
star, too, because of his sisters angel
gone before.


There was a baby born, to be
brother to the child; and while he was
so little that he had never yet spoken a
word, he stretched his tiny form out
on fhe bed and died.


Again the child dreamed of the
opened star and of the company of
angels, and the train Of people, and
all the rows of angels with their beam
ing eyes all turned upon those peoples
faces.


Said his sisters angel TO the leader
"ls my brother come y


And he said "Not that one, bu
another


AS the child beheld his brothers
angel in her arms, he cried, "Oh,
s.s.er, | am here! Take me1 And
50 turned and smiled upon him, and
the stir was shining.


He grew to be young man, and
as busy at bis book, when an old
servant came to him and saids


"Thy mother is no more. bring
her blessing on her darling son."


Again at night he saw the star, and
all that former company. Said his
sisters angel to the leader:


as my brother Gomez


And he said, "rhy mother"


A mighty cry of joy went forth
throu III all the star, because the mother
was reunited to her two children. And
he stretched out his arms and cried,
"Oh, mother, sister and brother, | am
here! take me" And they answered,
"Not yet and the star was shining.


He grew to be man whose hair was
turning gray, and he was sitting in his
chair by the iireside, heavy with grief
and with his face bedewed with tears,
when the star opened once again.


Said his sisters angel to the leader,
"Is my brother come ?"


And he said, "Nay, but his maiden
daughter"


And the man who had been the
child saw his daughter, newly lost to
him, a celestial creature among those
three, and he said, "My daughters
head is on my mothers bosom, and
her arm is around my sisters neck,
and at her feet there is the baby of old
time, and can bear the parting from
her, God be praised"


And the star was shining.


Thus the child came to be an old
man, and his once smooth face was
wrinkled, and his steps were slow and
feeble, and bis back was bent. And
one night as he lay upon his bed, bis
childron standing around him, he cried
as he had cried so long ago;

The Alexandria Gazette thus exp os-
es the meanness Of the best Government
the world ever saw:


Shortly after the close of the war,
Maj. John Green, with long train of
wagons, went from this city to Arling-
ton with an order from the United
States Government for the furniture
at Arlington, belonging to Gen. II. +.
Lee. The officers in command of that
place refused to surrender the property,
so the Major, leaving his train there,
rode over to Washington and reported
the refusal at the War Department
A new order was at once issued to al
officer, who accompanied the Major on
his return to Arlington and saw that i
was executed. Everything that be
lcngcd to the Arlington family tha
had not been stolen was there packed
in eighteen wagons aud brought and
stored in one of the front rooms on the
ground floor of the Mansion House,
where il still remains untouched.

Mr.. Chesebrough belonged to family well known
in the early mercantile history Of New York, and
succeeded in 1854 with his brother, to the house OF
Chesebrough h Van Allen, a prominent dry goods
firm in Pearl street. The disastrous fire OF 1885,
which destroyed large portion OF the business part
OF New York. proved severe blow to the new firm,
and some years afterwards its members retired
from tile business. His iather, Robert Chesebrough.
was at one time president OF the Fulton Bank, and
was highly esteemed In New York for his ability and
probty. After leaving business Mr.. Chesebrough
turned his attention TO the law, In which he was
eminently successful and became executor and
trustee for number OF large estates, OF which he
had charge at the time OF his DEATH He was con-
nected by marriage with many OF our best families
the Stuyvesants, Tghes, Davenports and Kearnys-
and was held in high appreciation by large circle
OF friends and acqu8intances. But a few months
ago at the wedding OF his eldest daughter he was
observed TO be failing. and many friends then
thought that the house OF Joy would soon be turned
TO one Of weeping. He leaves handsome compe-
tency to his vile and daughter.

the steamboats, and at hotels. "At Up
sula," be writes, I'VE determined to find
out how such coffee as he had just drank wns
made. and stepped into the kitchen of Il .
little hotel and this was the report: Take
any kind of coffee pot or urn, aud suspend
a bag of felt or heavy Haunel. so long that
it reaches the bottom, bound ON wire
just fitting the top; put in fresh ground
pure coffee, and pour on freshly boiled
water. The fluid filters through the bag,
and may be used at once needs no settling
and retains all its aroma. The advantage
of this over the ordinary filter is its econ
emy, as the coffee stands and soaks out
the strength instead Of merely letting the
water pass through it, DO you boil itr
inquired the learner 'N-a-a-a-ay,' said
the maid in simple astonishment that any
one should be SO wasteful as to send the
precious aroma away in steam; should
rob that prince of food of that evanescent
something which constitutes his nobility.
aud reduces him to mere aliment. AS
soon would one think of throwing away
that drop of sunshine. charged with all the
summers gold which lies at the throat OF

that choke would always attend the wear

all false hair retained more or less of the
personality of its original owner. and that
this was the cause of much insanity and
many criminal idiosyncracies in women.

has disgraced the much tried Paris since

siege, the Sisters of Charity Of the Hospi-
tai Cochin have distr; buted every day, to
all poor persons who called on them, milk
for infants and the sick. A woman who lives
in the neighborhood did not come for her
usual supply the other day until very
late hour. She was informed by the sis
ter that by this time very little milk was
left, but they would give her all they could
spare. Her vessel was taken away from
her, aud afterwards returned three quarters
full. The woman became very angry and
insolent, and upbraided the nuns for not
keeping for her proper allowance, rs she
came regular every day. She went of,
threatening with lively menaces the sister
whose duty it was to'distribute the milk
among the poor. Next day she came back
at the ordinary time, and seemed angrier
even than before, shouting, II must pay

The Boston Traveller recounts the fol.
lowing rich scene which happened in one
of the wholesale stores in that city few
days since:


1t seems that two Of the partners had
been inwardly moved to bestow their
affection ON one and the same lady, 'ach
blissfully ignorant of what the other was
doing. But as i'll luck would have it, the
fact was somehow suddenly revealed to
both parties il their store one day, and as
a natural consequence, an explosion took
place. Beginning with high words they
came to hard blows; and regular 6sti-
cuff fight ensued between the rivals. All
this was ridiculous enough, but II was on
ly the first act in the farce Among the
statesmen in the store happend to be an
athletic young fellow, who had been SOL
dier and who had some sporting propensi-
ties. Witnessing the prospect for fight,
between his bosses, his own blood was stirr-
ed, aud almost involuntarily he stripped
for the fight. Rut finding nobody to
match him, he readily installed himself
judge and umpire of the fight between the
two partners. So seating himself upon
packing box he bossed the fight; calling
''Tirne, Smith !" and SO on through all
the lingo of the prize ring. The whole
effect was so perfectly ridiculous that even
the jealous and wrathy men engaged in
the squabble must have found it hard to
keep up the work seriously. The two
partners of wholesale house fighting un-
der the supervision and direction oe their
employeesl 1t was too absurd to last,
and it was soon over. and the whole thing
settled and hushed up.

When every thing is counted, it will be
found that the sum total of our lives re-
solves itself into but two things-antici-
patton and memory, The pleasures and
miseries OF the moment are ephemeral,
and only to be taken note of as they leave
their record in the past In youth life is
richest in anticipation; but as years roll
on, the mind acquires the habit OF looking
backward, and when old age has come,
there is nothing left this side of the grave.
Fortunate is that man who, in the midst
of the tolls and turmoils of busy and of
ten unsatisfactory life has happy child
hood to look back upon-a picture gallery
of loving faces that once formed home
circle, record of many years, which in
cludes gentle tones, kind actions, cheerful
surroundings, smiling skies, twittering
birds, blooming flowers and innocent
amusements.


Whoever robs child of these, robs
him of more than he can ever return to
him in any other shape. A close, hard,
narrow life, lived in childhood, not only
dwarfs the future mans whole moral and
afFectionate nature, but leaves him no me-
mories to fall back upon when the present
is unsatisfying. Make your little child
happy. Provide for him what enjoyment
you can, be they great or small. and be-
grudge no money that you can spare him
in securing these. In doing this you are
not only giving him present pleasures.
which is great deal, rs in youth impress
sions are stronger and more rapidly receiv-
ed, and the capacity for enjoyment conse-
quently greater: but you are really lay
ing up store of happiness for him in me-
mories which shall last him all bis life.
Let the atmosphere which surrounds your
children be so impregnated with affection
that they shall breathe it in, as it were,

ers, be so upright ana pure, that when you
