I After the Battle. Only those commanding corps and divisions have posts from which they survey a battle field while the fighting is on. If the fight is furious all along the line) even the general in command may not be able to take in over a half mile of front. One may have been in a dozen battles without witnessing more than the manoevers of a brigade Jattles usually end in withdrawal and pursuit. In either case nearly all the troops on both sides are put in motion and so men who have been fighting all day march away and see only the dead And wounded in their front. But very few wounded are brought in by niglit, and the dead can wait for the s:m to rise. To move about on the field at night, is to take your life in your hand. There are ghouls robbing the dead who will fire upon you, and there are wounded men who will treat you as a foe. There are riderless horses galloping about, while others madden? ed with the pain of wounds, will rush at you open-mouthed from the darkness. It is when morning comes again that those left behind to bring in the wounded, bury the dead and collect the equipments, scattered over miles of ground, perhaps can see and fully realize how fierce and deadly the conflict was. The dead are not all on the battle lines. Here, where the re? serves were posted, a mile in the rear, are the first of them. They had been killed by solid shot and bursting shell. They are lying in heaps, and in nearly every case the face, is cover? ed by poncho or Blanket. Down this front of a mile in length we find a dead man here and there as we ad? vance, sometimes two or three to? gether, but there are no wounded. They were removed under fire. Half a mile in the rear of the battle line we come upon the first of the men killed by the musket fire. They were not really under fire, but acting as supports, and yet the ranks lost heav iiy. . It is curious to note the positions of the dead where the bodies have not been interfered with. Nine out of ten are lying broad on their backs with arms outstretched 5 their feet are pointed out all around the com? pass, but more df them lie with their heads to the east than in any other direction. The men shot in the head are lying at full length ; those shot below the neck have one foot drawn up and their fingers are clinched. There is not on any face what you would call a look of pain or anguish, and neither do you find smiles ana placidity. Look into the faces of 100 men killed ia battle, and you will find the same general expression, whether young or old. It is a look of surprise and fear. This look rests on the faces of men killed in their tracks, as it were. The mortally wounded man may turn on his side to die, and you may find him with a smile on his face, he has had' time to breathe a prayer, to think of wife and children and home and realize that his hour has [ come. The battle line runs across a high? way, over an old cotton field, across a meadow and into -the woods. The men made breastworks out of rails aud dirt. At one spot they had the cover of a stone wall at another the banks of a winding creek. Here was a brigade without the slightest cover, rushing id to hold a gap in the line. The dead and the wounded lie just as they fell?five dead to one wounded. [ The enemy used grape and canister from a battery planted on that ridge, and the missiles did terrible execu? tion. Here along the breastworks the men were lying down an fired from that position. Nearly every dead man still rests at full length, on his stom? ach, though their faces seem half buried in the grass. Many of the muskets still rest across the breast? works. Here for 300 feet we cannot find a wounded- man. Most of the dead were struck in the face or throat. "With his back to the wall sits a dead man who probably lived an hour or two after he was hit. His knees are drawn up for a rest for his arms, and thus his head is supported. Next on his left is a captain lying on his back, with his outstretched right arm still holding the sword, and that sword restd across the body of another dead man. The officer was struck fairly between the eyes by the bullet. HiB lips are parted, as if shouting a com? mand when death came. "We hesitate for a moment and then step over the breastworks and advance to the creek. At this spot it was midway between the combatants. Night before last , friend and foe filled their canteens here, sometimes elbow to elbow, but purposely ignoring each other's pres I ence. Here iB the horror of the bat i tlefield. We knew it would be so, but were impelled to come. The banks of the creek are nowhere less than 2 feet high ; in some places I they are 5 and 6. The bed of the stream is 6 or 8 feet wide, but the I flow of the water only half that and from 6 inches to a foot deep. On a front of half a miile all the wounded on both sides who' could creep or pull themselves along inch by inch made for this creek as the fighting ceased. They reached the bank aud flung them? selves down. They fill the bed from bank to bank, lying there, four or five deep. Here and there may be a liv? ing man, but 19 out 20 perished that night. They fought ,each other for the water, but only the first comers quenched their thirst. Before they could move away they were caught in the crush. It is a great trench, with its dead ready for the dirt to hide them, and the waters of the creek have been dammed back until they arc seeking a new outlet through the cotton field. Help arrives, and we walk slowly along the bank to look for wounded men. We find and extricate about 20, none of whom will perhaps will live the day out. All others are dead?shot, crushed, drowned?almost a thousand by the returns of the burial party. It is almost night be? fore the creek flows on its old bed again, but even our thirsty horses will not drink the waters running red. They sniff at it and turn away with wild eyes, and snorts of alarm.?M. Quad. Tbe Right Boy In the Wrong Place. American Punch relates the follow? ing anecdote, which, it says, will i make even a Sunday School scholar smile during prayer time: At the j opening of exercises of the Five Points Missions School, in New York, many years ago, a class of street gamins had I been tutored to answer a sort of cate? chism. The first question was, "Who I made you ?" aud the answer was, "God." The second, "Out of what arc you made?"?and the answer, 1 "Out of the dust of the earth." But the teacher failed to notice the absence of the little fellow at the head of the class, and so the first question natur? ally came to the boy whose place was next to the head, and upon announc? ing the question : "Who made you ?" the answer came, "I was made out of the dust of the earth?the other feller, what God made, has got the measles and couldn't come!" ? A man is very much like a razor, because y?V? can't tell how sharp he can "b^uutil he is completely strapped. Fonnd od the Trains. "Whenever during the daytime a New York, New Haven and Hartford train rolls into the Grand Central de? pot a stoop-shouldered, little man, with keen grey eyes, and a beard that doesn't grow with sufficient luxuri? ance to require frequent trimming, strolls down to the end of the plat? form. "When the train stops and the most laggard of the passengers are still leisurely alighting, he hops nimbly on the rear platform of the last car and proceeds to literally "go through" the train. Sometimes a much excited passenger who has sud? denly recollected that he has forgot? ten something rushes madly back into the train and discovers his portable property in the hands of the little man. Then, if he is of a suspicious disposition, he glares and scowls at the little man, and sometimes pounces upon him and indignantly de? mands to be told what he is doing with "that." Then- a tired look comes into the little man's face and he mildly ex? plains that he is employed by the company to search incoming trains for articles left behind by passengers, which he conveys to the lost proper? ty room, where the owners can always get possession of them again by fur? nishing presumptive evidence that the thing belongs to him. When Charlie?that is whSt the other employees about the depot call him, although he has another name which appears on the pay rolls of the company?first began his work his beard wasn't tinged with gray, and he wasn't a bit stoop shouldered. That was 15 years ago. All these years, from 6:30 in the morning until 6:30 in the evening each day, he has been picking up things that careless pas? sengers have forgotten to take with them when they left the train. It would make any man stoop shoul? dered to be continually looking for things that long. But his eyes are as keen as ever, and his honesty is still proof against all temptations. If that were not the case, he could have retired with a snug little capital. From the pocketbooks and purses and "wads" that he has found while pur? suing his unique occupation he could have, slipped enough into his own pocket to render him quite independ? ent. There are no blanks in his daily re? cords. Never a day goes by that he doesn't find something that somebody has forgotten. He picks up fewer things on Sundays than on any other days, because on Sundays travel is compar? atively light, and passengers are likely to be less preoccupied with business cares and therefore not so likely to forget things. On some days his list of lost articles found on the incoming trains is quite a formidable one. This, for instance, is what he turn? ed into the lost property room on Aug? ust 17 : Thirteen umbrellas, two rings (one plain gold and one with dia? monds), one overcoat, one package of legal papers, one satchel, one lady's jacket, one Derby hat. one valise, one cape, one cane, one package of un? derwear, one mackintosh and one pock etbook. And this is what he found on Aug. 27: Seven umbrellas, one parasol, one shawl, one overcoat, one pair of shoes, one package containing a suit or clothes, one pair of spectacles, one purse, one flask of whiskey and one smelling bottle. When the articles are taken to the lost property room, they are labelled with the date on which they are found and the number of the train. Nearly all the articles that have any intrinsic value are redeemed. The rest are simply stored away for the gnawing tooth of time to prey upon. Charlie is of the opinioe, and sure? ly he may be regarded as an expert on the subject, that somebody is liable to forget something at some time or other. Umbrellas are the articles that are most frequently left behind on the trains by travellers'. The man who cauld devise an infallible system b/which the owner of an umbrella would always be sure ?to remember it would reap afortune. Charlie haa tried his own wits at it, but was forced to give it up". ' ' He has come to the conclusion that a state of ecstatic happiness, equally with one of intense preoccupation, is apt to produce forgetfulness of porta? ble property. He has discovered that newly married brides and grooms are quite as apt to forget the little things they may be carrying with them as the man who has got so much business on his hands he can't think of anything else. The man who never travels without a flask of whiskey seldom forgets it. Perhaps that is because the act of putting it into his pocket immediately after taking a nip has been so often repeated that it belongs to the category of unconscious cele* bration. It is not an infrequent thing for a man to leave a stovepipe hat on the rack and walk out of the'car with a little skull cap on. But when he gets into the street the small boys are sure to shout: "Shoot the hat!" or "Where did you get that hat?"' Then he dis? covers the mistake he has made, but the fact that he is never grateful to the small boys for reminding him of it and never rewards them must be re? garded as evidence of that perversity inheritant in hunun nature which so often puzzles the philosopher. Charlie is of the opinion that some people would forget their own moth ers-in law if they had half a chance. There is one man whose umbrella he has picked up in the train so often that he has lost truck of the number of times. And yet the same man has told him frequently that he never leaves the house with his umbrella that his wife doesn't say to him, "Now, dear, be sure you don't forget your umbrella." Women, so Chrrlie has found, are even more apt to leave things behind them in the care than men.?New Yurie Herald. Itheumatls n vs. Goat.

An old lady afflicted with sciatic rheuma? tism, which had become chronic and beyond the hope of relief, relates to the Boston Journal man, with much gusto, that after several visits from Dr. W., of the consolation kind, in which he had evaded, by carefully leading the conversation into other channels, committing himself as to the outcome of her malady, determined that next time he should say some? thing definite, and with the following result: "Now, doctor, I want you to tell me if you can cure my rheumatism ?" Dr. W., judging from her tone that evasion this time vras out of the ques? tion, thus replied: "Madam, how do I know whether you have rheumatism or gout ?" "Well, doctor, what is the difference between them ? With a comical twinkle and a solemn countenance, "Madam, rheumatism is the result of original sin ; gout is actual transgression," said Dr. W.

California Midwinter Ex? position is being constricted quickly. Twenty-two buildings are already well under way. Edward A.

A novel gift enterprise has been introduced in the clothing business by a Washington firm, which actually gives away a blushing bride to any of their customers who apply. All that the applicant has to do is to purchase a wedding suit. The firm do the rest ?furnish the bride, the best man and the officiating clergyman. Six . of their customers have already taken advantage of this offer, and it is claim? ed that the supply of brides, as well as wedding suits, is practically un? limited. ? A clergyman was once annoyed by people talking and giggling during the service. He paused, looked at the disturbers, and said: "Some years since, as I was preaching, a young man who sat before me was constantly laughing, talking, and making uncouth grimaces. I paused and administered a severe rebuke. After the close of the services, a gentleman said to me, l 'Sir, you made a great mistake ; that young man was an idiot.' Since then I have always been afraid to reprove those who misbehaved in chapel, lest I should repeat that mistake and reprove another idiot." During the rest of the services there was good order. ? There are four women in New York whose names are little known to the general public who are honored by the class among whom they labor. These are Mrs. Ernestine Schaffner, Mrs. M. J.

An electric light of 40,000,000 candle power almost surpasses compre? hension. Yet this great mass of light is to issue from a lighthouse tower on Penmarch Point on the coast of Brit? tany. The beam will be seen twenty five miles before it strikes the horizon, and after that it will be reflected on the sky for a distance of thirty-eight miles further. The largest light on the coasts of the United States can only be seen twenty-eight miles in clear weather. It is a good omen, thinks the New York Sun, that this high development of electric lighting is in the interests of peace and for the preservation of human life. Hitherto the searchlights on warships have rep? resented the greatest concentration of electric light rays. Chastised by a Cow. A cow and a steer?the latter two or three years old?were the only oc? cupants of the barnyard where the oc? currence took place, writes Allen Pringle. A baiting of hay was put out to them, the cow took possession. The steer wished to share it, but -the cow, like some higher animals, was selfish and bent on taking the whole of it, and as often as he would maneu? ver around from side to side to get a bite she would drive him off at the point of her horn. The steer was so persistent that at last the 'cow's pa? tience gave way and, taking a deter? mined and vicious charge on him, punished him severely, though he was her own offspring, says Popular Sci? ence Monthly. The steer felt badly hurt, not only in body but evidently in mind as well, and immediately started out of the yard and off down the lane toward the pasture where were the rest of the stock, bellowing vengeance at every step in a language which was unmis? takable to the bystanders and which the mother well understood, as she ceased eating and listened intently to the threatenings of what was to come. When these died away in the distance she resumed her ration, but with evi? dent apprehension. In due time the steer was seen returning, bringing with him a companion larger and stronger than himself. As they ap? proached the rumblings of rage and revenge could be again heard, which grew louder as they came nearer. The cow took in the situation at once and was now terror-stricken. As her as? sailants rushed into the yard she dodged them and rushed out at life and-dcath speed and away toward the rest of the stock in the field with her pursuers close on her trank.

Bradfikld Regulator Co,, Atlanta, Ga. The Price of Cotton. Washington, November 2.?Senator George, chairman of the committee on agriculture, which has had under investi? gation the causes of the low price of cotton, stated to-day, in answer to a question as to the probable price of the present crop, that he had given some attention to the matter, but, owing to the conflicting elements entering into the problem, he hesitated to express any positive opinion. He stated there were several facts in the present situation which naturally pointed to higher prices for the present crop, which, from the best information obtainable, promised to be a short one. A. B. Shepperson, one of the best authorities in the United States, estimated the presentcrop at about6,500, 000 bales. Mr. Neill, of New Orleans, another high authority, estimated it at about seven and three-quarter millions. Senator George stated that he regarded this estimate as too high, but if it were correct, still there would be a large shor? tage. Mr. Thomas Ellison, of England, one of the highest authorities on the cotton question, estimates that the world's requirements, to be supplied out of the present crop, would be 8,174,000 bales. These facts, in the natural order of things, pointed to higher prices. On the other hand, there are strong elements against high prices. One of these is the largely decreased purchasing power ot our agricultural population, coming from the low prices of agricul? tural products prevailing in the last few years. This tends strongly to lessen the demand for manufactured cotton goods, and, as a consequence, means low prices. Another serious factor tending to lower prices is the anticipated contraction of the currency since the repeal of the purchas? ing clause of the Sherman law. This repeal puts the United States on a gold basis?so as to make the price of cotton depend on the supply or scarcity of gold. The demand for gold will be great. The United States must enter into what Mr. Sherman calls the scramble for gold now going on in Europe. This demand will probably cause shipments of gold to the United States, and to that extent lessen the supply in Europe, where the regular price for cotton is fixed for the whole World. This lessening of the supply of gold in Europe will decrease all prices there, includiug cotton. Besides, this increased demand for gold will still further increase its purchasing Bower throughout the world, which is ut another name for lower prices. How much this factor will counteract the strong influences I have mentioned for higher prices it is impossible to predict. The crop situation, the demand and Bupplv, favor higher prices, which I would confidently expect but for these adverse influences. Another adverse influence is the great power of those engaged in gambling in futures. These speculations have already fixed, as far as human agency at this time can fix, the future price of cotton for all the coming months, up to July, at a rate very little in advance of the present market rates. ?

Nearly all the States have laws for biddingthecarrying of concealed wea? pons, with every epidemic of murder? ous crankdom there is a demand that such laws shall be enforced, but they are not. Hundreds of men carry pistols, and very seldom is a person punished for such a misdemeanor. If every man or boy caught with a revolver In his pocket were punished as the law pre? scribed, a good many tragedies might be averted. ? The trial of Sheriff A. J.

"Insects and weeds from all parts of the civilized worlcfaie being introduced into the United States at a rapid rate," laments the Milling World. "Accord? ing to one account the fearful black wee? vil of South America has been brought in some grain from Paraguay, and it is now scattered all over the country, it is feared. Among the wheat pests of late introduction is the Russian thistle, now widely scattered. over the North? west." A ? The Boston Advertiser says: "The circumstances that a dying man confess? es to have, committed, many years pre? viously, a particular murder for which another man was hanged, is by no means conclusive proof, though many people imagine it to be so, that an innocent life was in that instance sacrificed under forms of law. There are a a great many such stories, some recorded in lawyers' professional books, more ot them float? ing around in country newspapers and verbal tradition. They are always pop? ular with folks who have a morbid fancy for sympathizing with everyone who is or has been subjected 1* legal trial for capital crime. It is a very common thing for persons of a certain class, who crave notoriety and reputation for mag? nanimity, to 'confess' to crimes of which they were never guilty. More than one such crank has offered to give himself up as 'Jack the Ripper.' Several such have declared that they committed the Bor? den murders. In the cases just men? tioned there was some little courage re? quired to declare, on one's dying bed, that be long ago committed a murder for which some other man suffered death. It is probable that at least 99 in a 100 such self-accusing people are guilty of noth? ing worse than lying." GBEAT EM! OF 1893 !
