A REMINISCENCE OF TI1E WILDERNESS.
Ah ! but these calls for regimental reunions
uieau something more than decorated
halls, grand dinners, and toasts and responses.
Memory sits down with the boys
? in blue and the boys in gray, and makes
their hearts thrill as they remember the terrible
charge of the Confederates to possess
themselves of the key-positiou at Gettysburg.
She asks the vetcraus to remember
how the brave Seventh Michigan pushed
' across tho wide river flowing past Fredericksburg
and looked into tho flerco eyes of
Burkfcdale's Mississippians. .She.calls upon
the.m^aeUBghit at TrevilHan Station, 'the
tramp of Stonewall Jacksoh's men on the
plains of Manassng^and the mad, eager rush
at tho earthworks around Petersburg.
Well may memory sit at every veteran's
right hand, for under one soil, lulled to
eternal repose by the same soft breezes, are
the blue and tho gray?falling ou their
skirmish line, in the <*h?rnr? uln.rl.*

lion, Stoucwall Jackson, crept upon
poor Hooker, hiddeu in tho wilderness.
DEE ON ONE SIDE?JACKSON ON TIIK OTIIKK,

screaming grape-shot^* Men weft? 'struck

from trees by shot aud shell. The roar of
guns, the crackle of musketry, the fierce
shouts and awful groans, made such j 'neii

Fighting lIooker was iu a box, but
not a ^j3 army dreamed that
? - uutil tho long gray line of Stone
-v Jin Jacksou came creeping through tho
//quict f'or .st at 3 o'clock ou that ever-to bcromembered
2d day of May, 1803. T-he
light earthworks had been thrown up to
face another way?toward Lee. All lines
faced Lee; all men wcro looking for Left,
when three divisions of Coufedcratas, moving
with soft step, took Hooker's army in
the rear, and drove one brigade pell-mell
into and over another, until veteran soldiers
were without strcugth or presence of mind.
That awful night when
THE WOUNDED WEltE BEING BURIED
ALIVE
in the woods, aud tho dead were thicker
than, the leaves just broadening into full
life, a report ran through the reorganized
ranks that the great Stonewall Jackson had
been killed. Thousands behieved it; but
three of us, lying side by side in the new
battle line, born after night came down, put
no faith in the rumor. Why wc did uot is
wnat l started 10 write aoout.
Stuart's cavalry had been following up
Hooker's army, but it was like a rat following
in the footsteps of a horse. Leo was
so far away and coming up so slowly that
Hooker bad time to throw up light earthworks,
seize tho best ground, fell trees to
protect his flanks aud make ready to shatter
and hurl back the expected attack. On
that 2d day of May, his soldiers, hidden
iu the woods or lying in the fields, washed
their clothing, wrote letters home, made
comfortable bods for themselves, and were
not in the least troubled about what auother
week would bring forth. As a deep river
suddenly bends to avoid a bluff, so did
that great army of bee's bend to avoid tho
Wilderness. It split in two to attack at a
given hour on both sides, and Joe Hooker
sat in his tent and congratulated himself on
his imprcguablc position?-considered impregnable"
by iiim wlveu two great highways
ran along tho rear of half of his army. So
universal was tho feeling of security that
soon after noon three infautrymcn started

Most of the men were hidden in the woods

which should have been first looked to
aB Stuart was pushing his cavalrymen asskirmishcrs
Wo three men were beyond Sigid's
corps, and on the point of entering a
farm house from which everybody had flod,
when, less than a rifle shot away, we caught
sight of the Confederate advance. The
cavalrymen were advancing slowly, evidently
expecting to find a heavy guard at some
point, but at the time we imagined that less
than a regiment of Stuart's men were feeling
along up to pick up stragglers, locate
positions, etc. We, at least, did not fear
them, and the proposition to enter the
house and secure a better view of the roads
speedily conveyed us to a chamber window
We could seo hut little more from
that post, hut we did see, soon after reaehing

the mouse, he was wondering at what point ?
he should strike to disable his victim scon- t

Grim-uiinded and sour-tcmpcred was the 1
third man of us, and war's horrors delighted a
him. When he had taken his second look t
at tho little party sittiug on their horses on l

"By the hundred gods of the heathen ! butjhat
chap ou the left there is old Stonewall
Jackson, and I'm going to drop liiui !"
Old Vote, our sour-teuipcred companion, ^
had a first-class "Minnie rifle with him. He P
had carried it for several mouths, in some ^
way escaping the attcution of the inspector
and in some way always secured ammunition V
for it. 1 saw him iu at least half dozeu instances
shoot down videttes or skirmishers 1
who seemed to be half a mile away, and he t<.
was known throughout the regiment as a .
dead-shot.
There was considerable firing around us w
from foragers, stragglers, and men cleaning
their guns, and a shot from the window
might not attract particular attention.?
Besting the heavy gun across the window- 1,1
sill, and having as steady rest as huntei ever 111
asked for, "Old Pete" was ready to keep 1,1
his word.
IT SEEMED LIKE COLD-BLOODED ASSASSINATION.
I could almost couut the buttons on Jack- P'
son's coat, aud there seemed 110 escape for "
him. L was watching hiui when the rifle
cracked, lie had a field-glass to his eye,
and the only movement we could see was a (!a
quick motion of the head, as if the bullet
had cut close to his car. The glass was uol m
even lowered. "Old Pete" swore a terrible 01
long string of oaths as he realized his fail- !(>
ure? but in a niiniac._w^J^ady ~.'L
ija- ~ ' - -
**TL~hopc to never draw another breath if '".
I don't kill him stone-dead!" he muttered 111
as he knelt down. Jackson did not face us H'
as before, yet was a good mark, eveu for a 111
musket. We watched him as before, and W
this time the bullet must have swept past 10
his face, as lie dodged his head backwards.
The glass was down then, but he raised it
in an instant and went on with hisutirvcy. (C.
"Have T got to bo a fool! or have I grown at
bliud!" howled "Old Pete," as he looked
down upon his unharmed victim. "I'll Kill
him this time or shoot myself iu this chain- ]{
ber. to
It was dangerous to remain there longer, se
as the cavalry had crept nearer, and Jack- ni
son's aids seemed to have got the idea that :lv
a sharpshooter was posted near by. Yet )CI
"Old Pete" would have had a third shot if ()|
the Confederates had been in the house. |(
THE TAHOET WAS AS PAIR AS BEFORE. ai
lie took a more careful aim, and yet when ir
he tired we saw splinters fly from a rail way 'h
over beyond the General. The cavalry ai
were then close upon us, and our two uius- sl
keta were lost iu the hurried llight from the w
hou?e^ -Half an.hour after that Jackson J"
was driving our brigades and divisions as 1,1
lie willed. 1,1
"I'll measure off tlio same distance, off- w

right by us. The nearest brigade of SigePs w

as a strong man would lift and hurl a child. P
Running along with theorized and fright- h

WE SAW JACKSON AOAIN.
He was far away, but it was Jackson.
"Curse him ! but ho has got a guardian j(

sent ;i tlirill of superstition through each
mind, and from that hour to the moment
when the news reached us "Old Pete" nevor
spoke a word. It was a puzzle ho could j
not solve. As we lay in line, ever) eye
peering through the darkness to catch sight j
of the gray line coining on again, an aid
came hurrying along and shouted out :
"We're all right, boys. Stonewall Jack- g
son has been killeduptho road there !"
"Old Pete" leaped up, whirled around to ^
face the bearer of the news, and savagely
shouted back : j,
"You lie ! you lio ! you lie ! Stonewall g
Jackson can't be hurt by shell or killed by
bullets !"
RUT IT WAS SO. (
Lying in the arms of those who loved f
him, so near us that the cries of our ?,
wounded must .have reached his ears, was '
the mortally wounded General whose skill i
and strength had no match. While the I i
white-faced dead looked up to the torn and ' 1
shattered forest trees?wile the wounded i
crawled here ami there in their awful agony
? while the living looked into each other's
1
inxious faces and woudcrcd if another night
would find any of us there, the legions of
Jackson were strangely silent. Now and
hen came the sudden boom of sumo great

Colored Mortality.?The cxtraordt- 1

d States is beginning to arouse attention 1
tho Nurth, and the New York Times \
k*?-ihtft the n
loprtc o! North (Tarnrintl, now in session, ar
aleigh, shall consider what must he done
decrease the alarming death rate. It !
cuis that in all the large cities .vherc the '
igrocs have congregated since the war the
erage of deaths among the blacks is at
n?t do able and sometimes as much as five
incs as great as arnoug the whites. In
ichuiond, for instance, 14 white people
id 25 negroes died during the week endig
August 28, this year, while the deaths
.1.........l- i..o? ........ ii ...i.:? ?
id 28 negroes. Memphis shows a record
ill more startling, for during 1871: (152
hites ami GUI negroes died .wliii '.i is a
uch greater mortality for the negror* ihau
Riclimoud, because of the larger piopovon
of white people in Memphis. Jlot :
hile this shows that very nearly four times
i many negroes as whites died in lS7G,tho
ortnlity reports this year indicate au inreased
death rate among the doomed colred
people, 148 negroes and only 128 white
eople having died in Memphis during the
lonths of July and August last?a proporon
of five negroes to,one white man. The
* uses ..of his excessive mortality arc well
nderstood ; and, though the matter is not
olitical in iiself the. negroes have certainly
een brought to this dreadful condition by
olitics. If they had been permitted to relaid
in agricultural districts, instead of
eing* encouraged iu every way to herd in
tie cities for tho use of the party which
mploycd them as voting cattle, this terrible
eatli rate would never have occured.

have recently become formidable and duugeious.
These animals arc known to feud

irregular intervals of a i^#jays. gives to
tM tftoflTITMn crtfst that vibratory motion
which has been detected by the instruments
used iu tho oflice of the United States signal
station. Since the establishment of tho
government sigTial station on tho summit of
tho Peak, at an altitude of nearly 15,000
feet, these animals have acquired a voracious
appetite for raw and uncooked incut, the
scent of which seems to impart to them a
ferocity rivaling the starved Siberian wolf.
The most singular trait in (ho character of
these animals is, they are never to be seen
iu the day-time. When the moon pours
dowu her queenly light upon the summit
they may be seen in countless numbers, <
hopping around among the rocky boulders 1
that crown this barren waste ; and during <
the warm summer mouths they may be seen I
swimming and sporting in the waters of the '
lake, a short distance.below the crest ? !' tho t
Peak -f and of a dark, cloudy night their 1
trail in the water exhibits a glowing, sparkling
light, giving to the waters of the lake a |
flickering silvery appearance. A few days (
since Mr. .John T. O'Kocf, one of tho gov- ]
eminent operators at the signal station, re ,
tufiled to his post from Colorado Springs, j
taking with liiui a quarter of beef. It boiiur (
late in the afternoon, bis colleai/uo. Mr
ILobbs, immediately left with the pack animal

while Mr. O Keel was engaged in the office
forwarding night dispatches to Washington,
lie was startled by a loud scream from Mrs.
D'Keef, who had retired for the night in an
idjoining bedroom, and who came rushing
into the office screaming, '-The rats! the
rats!" Mr. O'Koef, with great preseucoof
mind, immediately girdled his wife with a
jcroll of ziuc plating, such as had bacn used

cliiiiuing upon ner person;
tnil, although hit owh person was almost
literally covered with them, he succeeded
in incasing his legs each iu a joint of stovepipe,
when ho commenced a tierce and desperate
struggle for the preservation of his
life, with a heavy war-club preserved at the
station, among other Indian relics captured
at the battle of Sand Creek. Notwithstanding
hundreds were destroyed on every side,
still they seemed to pour with increasing
numbers from the bedr ?om, the door of
which had been left ( pen. Thccuiire quarter
of beef was eaten in less than live minutes,
which seemed only to sharpen their
appetites for an attack upon Mr. O'Keef,
whose hands, face and neck were terribly
lacerated. In the midst of the warfare
Mrs. O'Keef managed to reach a coil of ,
electric.wire hanging near the battery ; and, (
being tv mountain girl familiar with the (
thrqvffng of the lariat, she hurled it through

making innumerable spiral ways, along
which she poured the electric fluid from the 1
heavily-charged battery In an instant the
room was all ablaze with electric light, and
whenever the rats came in contact with the
wire they were hurled to an almost instant
dcntlp The appearance of daylight, made
such by'the coruscation of the heavily-charged
wire, caused them to take refuge among
the crevices aud caverns of the mountain,
by way of the bedroom window, through
which they had forced their way. But the
saddest part of this night attack upon the
Peak is the destroying of their infant child,
which Mrs. O'Keef thought she had made
secure by a heavy covering of bed clothing;
but the rats had found their way to the infant
(only two months old.j and had left
nothing of it hut the peeled and mumbled
skull. Drs. Thorn aud Anderson thought
at first that the left arm of Sereoant O'Keef
would have to be amputated, but succeeded
.in saving it.

Home has been happily saved and many
a fortune retrieved by a man's full confidence
in bis wife. Woman is far more a
seer and a prophet than uiuu, if she be giv- J
en a fair chance. As a geueral rule, the
wives confide the minutest of their thoughts
and plans to their husbands. Why not reciprocate,
it but for the pleasure of meeting
confidence with confidence? 1 am certain
no man succeeds ho well iu the world an he
who, taking a partnor tor life, makes her the
partner of' his purposes and hopes. What
is wrong of his impulses or judgment, she
will check and set right with her uluiost universally
right iustinct, and what she most
craves and most deserves is confidence,
without which love is never free from a
shadow.
Moved by the numerous cowardly murders
in Kentucky, the Louisville CourierJournal
breaks forth : "The puppy that is
afraid to go among his fellow-uien without
a navy-six on his hip, ought to be kicked
out of society on the tiptoe of public sentiment."
A man who edited a paper in Texas for
two years is one of the curiosities now traveling
with Baruutn's show. Ho carries B7
bullets in his body, 110 Bowie knife scars,
has one eye gouged out, one ear bit off, his
nose twisted around on his left cheek, all
his teeth knocked out and his skull trepanned.
