What the Dead indicated. ill have no time to bury my dead, and can give you none," was Grant's famous reply to Lee, when, under a flag of truce, a cessation of hostilities vss requested long enough to bury the dead. Thus one great and awful feature of the battle of the Wilnerness vas the unburied dead, that lay for days and weeks all over the blood stained held, one of the most horrible and ghastly sights ever exposed to luman vision. Probably no battle seid of the civil war offered such an Opportunity for inspiration as this. Ordinarily, after a fight, burying ]hrties were detailed, and the long, d>2p tiench, a common grave,* was dig, and the dead were at least cover el, but not so here. Grant could not sop, and tae long stretch of country, overrun with Mosby's guerrillas, that iitorvened between the Eappahannock river and the nearest Union lines pre vented aid from that direction in bury itg toe thousands that were slain in tie' Wilderness and in the fight at Spottsylvania Court House. I Bat on my horse looking over the portion of the field where the fierce and deadly fighting of May 4 and 5, J8G4, occurred. It was four or five days after the fight, about the 9 th or 10th of May. ^??mall detachment of our regiment hacNbeen sent as an escore to a train of ambulances to ? atherin the wounded, who were being temporarily cjired for in barns and farm houses near the battlefield, and I thus had an opportunity to view this historic scene. During the 33 years fince, it has been an open question Whether to be glad or sorry that I risited that battlefield. It could not . e more vividly impressed upon me ad I seen it yesterday. It has been ightinare and a horrid day dream all lese years. Often have I prayed i?t visions of those upturned faces, lackened and distorted, of the staring, azed eyeballs, of the stiffened, out [retched hands, seemingly still grasp (g for suport, those rigid forms wrap blue and gray, thkt had fought I Ijeir last battle and now lay side by le in that great charnel field, might blotted forever from my recollection, en, again, I have been glad that knew so well how that battlefield (eared, and how barbarous, brutal ? inhuman it made war seem ; glad t I knew how 10,000 dead horses iced, which had faced and met <th amid the wild-frenzied scenes (one of the greatest battles in the hery of the world. no of the most striking features to ijhat day, and the one most thor o ily fixed in our memories, was that aovcr that battlefield, or at least t part we visited, there lay three bi in blue to one in gray. It will bemembered that all through the W^rness fight the Confederates w protected by a system of earth w s and hastily constructed forti fie ons, and abatises, while the Union tns were compelled to fight largely ine open and assail the Confederates iu;eir strongholds.

It was worn and partly illegible, hut we ruade 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 Hear Jack : We hope that you can soon return and help us with the tobacco crop ; but if not, we do hope and pray to God that our dear Jack will not be harmed of those terrible Yankees." As we looked at the letter and then at the upturned face of poor Jack, turning black, fron: exposure to the sun, and then thought of that poor wife, or mother, or sister who was waiting and watching for the return of the dead and mangled soldier at our feet, and of the other 10,000 homes from which dear cues had\gonc out who were now among that host of dead around us. we begr. to comprehend something of the brutal, barbarous nature of war. And, personally, I would have had a keener comprehen sion still had I known then what I learned a few days later, that on that very battlefield, anc. not far from the spot where poor Jack lay, my own brother had been killed a few days .before. He was on the skirmishing line, early in the morning of May 4, at the very beginning of the fight. He was struck in the 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 the field while our ambulances were visit ing the houses, bi.rns and huts to which the 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 the slain. Bnt this only added to the horror of the scene, for portions of the bodies were exposed. We couid trace the movements ? the Union line by i,he appearance of the field. In a space where evidently the.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 hud come and the opposing lines had met. then gray and blue lay side by sice or one athwart the other. Some laces had a smile upon them, others had a surprised and startled look, while others ex pressed agony aud despair, and still others had a look of hate and defiance as if they had fought to the very death. Looking o\erthe portion of the field where we W2re, we 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 spsd along, broken wheels of artillery wagons and ambu lances scattered about; these, with the 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. We loaded every imbulance we had with the wounded and dying, and started on the \oo% march towards Alexandria, Va., where the nearest help and hospital service could be secured. In fording the Bappahan n?ck river at the United States ford, one ambulance was -driven into deep water and two poar fellows were drowned. It was asad ending to their brief dream of help :?.nd home, and one of the 10,000 cruel bitter scenes of that cruel and hitter war.?Cyrus ? Shepqnl, Co. F.. lath X. Y. Vdl Cavalry, in '. )'.

Two young women?school girls, in fact?stood in one of the wards of the Flower Hospital in this city not many days ago and watched with keen in terest the deft fingers of a surgeon as he treated and bandaged the broken arm of an-adult patient. The girls were not there- because of mere curi osity, but by appointment to take, a practical reeson in the application of splints and bandages. In several of the city hospitals visitors of this class are, at stated periods, accorded simi lar privileges. Instruction in the matter of dress ing and bandaging a cut, a bruise or a broken bone constitute a special branch of study in many private schools for girls, and occasionally ar rangements arc made by the teachers to take a limited number of pupila in to the hospitals to observe and study the work of the skilled surgeons and nurses. In 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 handling of splints and band ages has become almost a fad. The sale of bandage rolls in the pharma cies and in some of the department stores has increased perceptibly since so many of the city schoels have add ed "emergency service" instruction to their other departments. That'the girl who "knows what to do in emergency" is not a creature of the imagination was demonstrated in West 22d street one day last week in the presence of a policeman and a dozen women and children. A va grant dog -had been run ever by a heavy wagon, and was found in 72d street, just west of Columbus avenue, moaning pitifully with a broken leg. Some sympathetic ladies hunted up a policeman, and the latter was about to shoot the animal when a self-possess ed, energetic girl interposed and begged to be allowed to attend to the dog herself. "He does not want to be killed," said the girl. "See the pleading expression of his eyes. Let me examine the injury." Removing her gloves, she felt of the dog's wounded leg with the air of a profes sional and the tenderness of hei sex. "Oh! I think it is only a simple frac ture," she remarked. "I 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. She 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 for an empty peach basket, and one of the sympathetic ladies who had hunted up the policeman was commissioned to go to the nearest drug store for sorae arnica. When her simpje applianoes arrived she spread a newspaper on the edge of the eidewalk and sat down be side the dog. The policeman whittled some splints from the peach basket, and in a very few minutes the girl httd them neatly and firmly bound around the dog's injured leg. So daintily d: d she work that the animal's moaning gave way to- an occasional painful yelp, and when she picked him up to -TI GOLD HUNr The Killer of I .THREE HUNDRED B??. !

Men who have worn the judicial er mine generally have certain privileges in court that the struggling young law yer would make any sacrifice to obtain. A newly admitted member of the bar made a suggestive remark to ex-Judge Curtis, of New York, about this, and the old gentleman became very angry. "When he gets mad he lets himself loose. He did so on this occasion, but finally wound up with. "I am a fool ! I am the biggest fool on earth!'' The youngster attempted to soothe him with the remark, ''Judge, all men are fools at times. I have been a fool myself." The enraged old lawyer glared ali him. "You a fool ?" he sneered. "Yes, anda bigger fool than you, judge." This caused the judge to tear the little hair left upon his venerable head. "I deny it, sir ?" he shouted ; ,;it is a lie ! You could never be a bigger fool than I. You have not the capacity, sir; not the capacity!"?New York Times. ? The British Empire has an area of of 11,400,000 square miles and a population of 400,000,000.
