The strange infatuation for city life, which has seized the country, is one.) ot the worst signs of the times. It used to be, especially in the South, that the country was the seat of the wealth, the intelligence, and the best social life of our people. Bat times hate changed. The old plantations have been, for ' tue most gart, deserted, and a constant exodus as been going on from the country to the city. The glare and glamour of the crowded mart have exercised an unwonted fascination upon 'the minds of our people, and thousands have flocked to the city. ^Vc believe, however, that this mania for city life has reached its height, and that ere loug we will wit ness the return of hundreds to the farms nud plantations which so much need the touch of intelligent) well directed industry The exigencies of the situation will demand the deple tion of our crowded centers, and idle hands will find useful and profitable employment in that oldest and most essential of all occupations, agricul ture. This will be a glad day, and will ?mark the beginning of a new and bet ter order of things. It has ever been true, that country life is best suited to the growth of those higher and better qualities which go tu make up Sturdy manhood and virtuous woman hood. And when our people get back their bid time love for the country and return to build up the waste places, we will sec again the splendid civili zation of thc Old South. ? Don't leave the country. Stand by thb farm, and build up around the country homo, the Church and the school house. Develop there a social lifo sc attractive that thc din and noise and stir of the city will not be needed to give it interest and vivacity. There are mere intelligent farmers at work in the South now than we have had for many years past, and there is a greater opening in that field than ever before. There is yet a great deal of hardship, privation and suffering among those who rush to thc towns. With industry and economy these could all live lives of comfort and independence on the farms. Don't leave the rural districts. There is the normal home of man.- Wesleyan Ad vocate. Shot to Death. CITY OP MEXICO, Sept. 19.-Capt. Cota, of the 12th infantry, who was some time since condemned to death for insubordination for the killing of a major of his regiment in Sonora dur ing the Yaqui rebellion, was shot here yesterday- Detachments from all the garrisons were present, about 1,500 men^ being drawn .up on three sides of the square. By 5.45 all was ready und a carriage, containing Capt. Cota and three friends, guarded by soldiers, drew up. At the further end of the square, opposite ?the eastern thou ad, in front of which ?the execution was to take place, the coach stopped and the condemned man j alighted. He was immediately conducted to the. place of execution 'by ac picket of infantry, His nerve was indomitable and his courage: 'sup?jrb. \ As. ^he advanced down the length Af the square, a disr tance of, at Least tooti hundred yards, ho was quietly p tiffin g at a cigarette, and when the squad halted he walked with deliberatiou io the position as signed to him. Xot even tnere did bis, courage forsake him, when the officer strode forward bandage inhand, with the intention of blindfolding him. Capt. Cot-U ut once motioned him away, declaring that he was not afraid. . Not even as th >'officer in charge of tba firing party took his place, and with his t..-ord motioned the orders to the men, "Heady, present, fire," was there the least tnace of fear on the face nf tho condemned - man.

"i have no time to bury my dead, and ean give you none," was Grant's famous reply to Lee, when, under a ling of t"uce, &mcessation of hostilities was requested long enough to bury the dead. Thus one great and awful feature of the battle of tho WilnernesB was the unburied dead, that lay for days and weeks all over the blood btained field, ono of the most horrible and ghastly sights over exposed to 1 uman vision. Probably no battle l.eld of the civil war offered such an ? pportuuity for inspiration as this.. Ordinarily, after a lit:ht; burying parties'were detailed, and the long, dsep treuch, a common grave,' was dug, and the dead were at least cover ed, but not so here. Grant could not stop, and the long stretch of country, overrun with Mosby's guerrillas, that intervened between the llappahanaock river and the nearest Union lines pre vented aid from that direction in bury ing the thousands that were slain in tho Wilderness and in thc fight at Spottsylvaoia Court House. I sat os my horse looking over tho portion of the field where thc fierce and deadly fightiug of May 4 and 5, 18(14, occurred It was four or five days after the fight, about the Uth or 10th of May, A small detachment of our regiment had been sent as an escort to a train of ambulances to gather in the wounded, who were being temporarily cared for in barns and farm houses near the battlefield, aud I thus had an opportunity to view this historic scene. During the 33 years since, it has been an open question whether to be glad or sorry that I visited that battlefield. It could not be more vividly impressed upon me had I seen it yesterday. It has been a nightmare and a horrid day dream all these years. Often Have I prayed that visions of those upturned faces, blackened and distorted, of the staring, glazed eyeballs, of tho stiffened, out stretched hands, seemingly still grasp ing for suport, those rigid forms wrap in blue and gray, that had fought their last battle and now lay side by Bide in that great charnel field, might be blotted forever from my recollection. Then, agaiu, I have been glad that I knew so well how that battlefield appeared, and how barbarous, brutal and inhuman it made war seem ; glad that I knew how 10,000 dead horses looked, which had faced and met death amid the wild* frenzied sceucs of one of the greatest battles in the history of the world. One of the most striking features to us that day, and the otic, most thor oughly fi*fd in our memories, was that all over that battlefield, or at least that part we visited, there lay three boys in blue to one in gray. It will bc remembered that all through the Wilderness fight tho Confederates were protected by a system of earth works and hastily7 constructed forti fications, and abatises, while thc Union troops were compelled to fight largely in the open and assail the Confederates in their strongholds. From these it was utterly impossible to dislodge the enemy except by the masterly series of flank movements, so successfully planned by General Grant. ~ We Saw in one place where the men in line of battle had taken off their knapsacks and laid them in a long row, evidently to be prepared to make a charge upon one of these earthworks of the Confederates, some little dis tance tn front. These knapsacks re mained almost undisturbed, while tho men Jay, some in heaps, some here and Lhere io front of the fortificat ions they had charged upqn. At this point thc Quien dead Jay thickest. I believe I jou'd have dismounted 'and walked a .iisianee as great as two ordinary city > loti s and never once have stepped upon the ground-walking on dead todies all tho way. Indeed, had I audio taken the ghastly journey, I s-oule1 haye been compelled in some duqe^ to c^Iimb over heaps of the dead. ? Tfye.rc w!is a slight growth of undcr irush at this point, with a few trees emaining. I made a careful examina ron.aud could not see a limb or a twig >r btthh, hilt was marked by a bullet,, md some bf them in several places. Pho :wonder seemed, not that'there vere'somauy dead, but that any liyed. Officers add privates all made a common ;auso here, and rank was forever ob itorated, for among the 'dead we ?oticcd the shining shoulder-straps of sommissioned officers mingled with he ordinary blue uniform of the com oon soldier. The trees were torn and mattered, the fearful, work of shot iud shell being shown on every side, duskots/canteens, haversacks, knap tacks-in fact, nearly all that makes ip the accoutrements of the soldier rere scattered in all directions. Near he roft'l, evidently smashed by a solid hot, j ls thc broken caissob of an rtitlj^ l wigon, while tho gun lay in he d li with a'dead soldier lying ice J pi ird across it. No| '.Ts felt like performing any st ?f e|sh vandalism; though, as saf3*. "Miter 'extending. from the ockl #p?ead Confederate soldier, ' 4i?I . tr|l, and, some of the boys gathering around, wo looked it over. It was worn and partly illegible, but W? made out that it was from the town of Hamlet, in the State of North Carolina. It was in a lady's hand writing and the portion that we were able to read was as follows . "My Dear Jack : We hope that you oan soon roturu and help UB with the tobacco crop ; but if not, we do hope and pray to God that our dear Jack will not bc harmed of those terrible Yankees." As we looked at the letter and theu ot the upturned face of poor Jack, turning black from exposure to the sun, and then thought of that poor wife, ur mother, or sister who was waiting and watching for thc return of thc dead and mangled soldier at our feet, and of thc other LO.OOO homes from which dear ones bad gone out who were now arnon;,' that host ot' dead around us. we began to comprehend something of the brutal, barbarous nature of war. And, personally, 1 would have had a keener comprehen sion still bad I known then what I . learned a few days later, that on that very battlefield, aud not far from thc spot where poor Jack lay, my own brother had been killed a few days before. Ile was on thc skirmishing line, early in the morning of May 4, at the very beginning of tho fight. He was struck in thc thigh with a minie bullet, carried to the rear, his leg amputated and he died a few days later in a hospital. We had ample time to inspect thc field while our ambulances were visit ing the houses, barns and huts to which thc wounded had been carried, or to which they had been able to walk or crawl. In some few places an ap parent effort had been made to bury thc slain. But this only added to t' e horror of the scene, for portions of the bodies were exposed. We could trace the movements of the Union line by the appearance of tho field. In a space where evidently tho .line of battle had been before the forward movements, the dead lay as if some one had measured an accurate line, and then placed them in order upon it. Then, apparently, came the forward dash, and here and there they lay as they had plunged head foremost in the rusk for the Confederate lines. So far all were clad in blue, but where the clash had come and the opposing lines had met. then gray and blue lay side by side or one athwart the other. Some faces had a smile upon them, others had a surprised and startled look, while others ex pressed agony and despair, and still others had & look of hate and defiance as if they had fought to the very death. Looking over the portion of the field where we were, wc saw broken limbs hanging from trees where shot and shell struck, trees cut down with solid shot or split and shattered, the ground torn up and plowed as the death messenger sped along, broken wheels of artillery wagons and ambu lances scattered about; these, with tho dead that lay amid them all, made a picture so infernal, so barbarous and inhuman, that the 30 years that have intervened have utterly failed to diminish its horrors. Wo loaded every ambulance wc had with the wounded and dying, and started on the long march towards Alexandria, Ya., where the nearest help and hospital service could be secured. In fording the Rappahan n?ck river at the United States ford, one ambulance was driven into deep water and two poor fellows were drowned!. It was a sad ending to their brief dream of help and home, and one of the 10,000 cruel, bitter scenes of that cruel and bitter war.-Cyrus C. Slfcpartl, Co. /.'., If?tli N. Y. Vdt. Cavalry, in N. V.

Set tho Dog's Broken Leg. c - 1 Two young women-school girls, in fact-stood in one of the wards of tho ( Flower Hospital in this city not many i days ago and watched with keen in- < tercet the deft fingers of a surgeon as ' he treated and bandaged the broken arm of an- adult patient. Tho girls were not thero because of mere curi osity, but by appointment to take, a practical lesson in the application of splints and bandages. In several of the city hospitals visitors of this class aro. at stated periods, accorded simi lar privileges. Instruction in thc mutter of dress ing and bandaging a eut, a bruise or a broken bone constitute a special branch of study in 'many private schools for girls, and occasionally ar rangements an made by the teachers j to take a limited number ?d' pupils in to the hospitals to observe and study tho work of thc skilled surgeons and ? nurses, iii most cases the hospital authorities and attendants have taken especial pains to aid the ambitious school girls in acquiring the knowl ege necessary to fit them for emer gency service. With some young wo men the haudliug of splintB and band ages has become almost a fad. The sale of bandage rolls in the pharma cies and in some of tho department stores has increased perceptibly since so many of thc city schools have add ed "emergency service"' instruction to their other departments. That' the girl who "kuows what to do in emergency" is not a creature of thc imagination was demonstrated in West 22d street one day last week in tho presence of a policeman and a dozen women and children. A va grant dog had been run over by a heavy wagon, and was found in 72d street, just west of Columbus avenue, ? moaning pitifully with a broken leg. Some sympathetic. Indies hunted up a policeman, and thc-latter was about to shoot the animal when a self-possess ed, energetic girl interposed and begged to bc allowed to attend to the dog herself. "He does not want to be killed," said the girl. "See the pleading expression of his cj'es. Let mc examine the injury." Removing her gloves, she felt of the dog's wounded leg with the air of a profes sional and tho tenderness of her sex. "Oh! I think it is only a simple frac ture," she remarked. "1 can mend it if you will let me, Mr. Police Officer." The officer nodded assent, and the emergency girl set about her task with delightful composure. Sue cool ly pressed the small boys among the onlookers into service. Her home was near by, and she sent one boy there for sdme bandages, another boy .she, dispatched to a corner grocery foi an empty peach basket, and one of thc sympathetic ladies who had hunted ur the policeman was commissioned tc go to the nearest drug store "for some arnica. Whcu her simple, appliance.1 arrived she spread a newspaper ou thc edge of the sidewalk aud sat down be side the dog. The policeman whittled some splints from tip? peach basket, and ina very few minutes tho girl hac them neatly and firmly bound arouuc the dog's injured leg. So daintily die abe work that the animal's mo.min? gave way to- an occasional painfu yelp, and when She picked him up tc airy him to her homo he nestled in 1er arm with almost human affection. Thc police officer escorted the omer jeney girl to the door of her residence, ind left her with cordial expressions )f admiration and respect.-New York rimes. Hadn't tho Capacity.
