But 1 was ruminating about old ("ige and Tom Taylor, for after Gen ni Harlow was. killed I was trans lerred to General Anderson's staff and ollowcd his fortunes for nearly two (ears iu tho Army of Northern Vir joia. He was every inch a soldier. Ic never questioned, the wisdom of order, but obeyed it. "(Jurs not to make reply; Ours not to reason why; Ours but ?O do and die," is his motto. Ido not believe he ter experienced the emotion of fear, c thought that sometimes he was too ?og. I remember that on one orning daring the battles on the hickahominy he wished to make a raonal reoonnoi?sancoof the posi on of the enemy on ita left flank, d asked Major Ayer and myself to s with him. There was a wide, n field between the armies, proba ly 1,000 acres, and oar wing waa cov d by a forest of thiok woods onrviog ad the open spaoe in farm of a mioircle. We kept covered by ese woods until we liad got far and and wero as near to the federal dories as we dared to go. $he serai said: "Well? there ia no nae going back the long way that we e. Let us take the diameter of is circle and save a mile or two." will see ns and open fire," said "Let them shoot," said he, "they n't hit na. We oan outride their ills; come on; follow me." We did How, but we didcot want to and ero was no necessity for taking euch peri!. I never will forget that ride. 0 federal batteries opened fire iokly as we flew along the plain, he six-pounders sent their halls over land behind na and before us and me bounded along tho ground .Taite ?ar us, but the general, only waived ? hat and smiled. . Wo were all well omited and made the trip safely, but never made another reconnaissance dh him. Ooo evening cur brigade ?a at rest on the bank of "the Rappa nnock.

We did get even, and Old Tige waa com I forted; for in a few days the second i battle of Mana8saa ras fought and a ' great victory won. Forty-eight thou ' sand troops ander Lee utterly routed i and vanquished 80,000 andu* Pope. I never think of General Tom Tay lor bot what I think of the great bat tle of Drau:? ville, io. which he figured anda smile comes over my I memory. The fun of that battle lasted our boys a long time, and Major Ayer at Romo is not done Iau6hing at it yat. Thc valley of Drainsville waa neutral ground and tho harvest of hay was groot. The two armies were in winter quarters and. wanted it. Job Stuart assured General Johnston that if he would furnish the wagons and teams and a regiment of infantry he would go for the hay. Ho said that tho owners \ ere mostly Sonthern men and wanted OB to have it. Old Jon WAR ouspiciouy, but consented. Tho fed erals were nearer to it and bad a largo for.3c of cavalry in their camp. Tom Taylor was sent along with his regi ment and Major Ayer put in charge of 400 wagons with four-horse teams to each. It was about fifteen miles to the valley over a pike road that was generally wide enough for teams to pass each other, but was very narrow where cut through the little hills. Many of these cute, a, hundred yards long, were cot more than ten feet wide. Thc day and tho s?beme was kept profoundly secret. One morning abont the break of day our boys were aroused by the unearthly rumbling sound of 400 wagons rolling over tho niko, but that sound was nothing to the roaring of those wagons on their return. That train of wagons was nearly four miles long, and by the time the head of the column got fairly into the valley and the major began bossing the leading of the foremost teams Tom Taylor, with his men, were resting in the suburbs and Jeb Stuart, with 2,000 cavalry, were paraded on a hill overlooking the valley. Jost then 6,000 federal cavalry came charg ing down fi .nu- some hiding plaoe be hind the Wv wis and for an honr or more Sttiart and Taylor had their hands fall.' l\je federals had an ar tillery company tc help create a panic and they were after the wagon train in desperate determination. In the con fusion that followed tho surprise Stuart ordsted the wagons that were loading hay to countermarch in doa ble quiok and they performed that maneuver .with great alacrity until the head of the procession reached, the plko ard could get no farther, fer the body and tail of tho train blockaded the highway for two miles back. Then came the great stampede. "Then rushed the steeds from battle driven." All along the line the alarm was given, whips were po**'.og,, teamsters bawl ing. ' Tarn, men; tnru and save your teams,'. exclaimed the major. "The Yankees are coming." And they did tarn, but to this day nobody knows how. Some of tho wagoners swore afterwards they flew over and somo crawled under and some tamed a four-horse team in an eight-foot out. Colonel Taylor ordered his men to guard tho wagons, but they couldn't keep up with them. Smart's men were in a hand to hand fight with ile enemies cavalry and slashed them with swords and shot them with small arms; ?bat they were oatnambered and had to fight and fall back at every charge. It was about the middle of thc after noon when the roaring of the stam peding tra.'u reached our campground. Old . Joe Johnston heard it, for the sound thereof was like the sound of, many waters. He understood it at once and ordered a whole brigade and battery to double quick ap the Drains vilie pike. "I told 8tuart," he ex claimed, ''they would trick him if he didn't look out. v Those ravoala i,n that valley are nearly all union men and they got word to the enemy. I'm afraid we have lost some of our wag ons, and it will be a hard joke on Stuart." Later on wc porceived groat olouds of (lust gathering over the pike and thc roaring carno louder ai d louder and nearer and nearer, and by and by, with the aid of a. field glass, we could see Major Ayer rise ovei the top of a distant hill and halt. Wo is ?fine rider a d Was astride afine horse whose name waa Selim. Ho saw thu brigado ooming to the xesouo and slowed up, the long pro cession behind him. Bf an and beast 1 wore dripping with streams of sweat j that would buvo turned a saw mill, j In tho grand melee Colonel Taylor got out off from his company, for tb boya wefts trying to keop np with the wagons. But they all >?V*M? np i" course of time and received the plaud its of their comrades. Stuart worried the enemy BO I' d that they left the Talley . with nary wagon and Major Ayer loft it with nary hay. But t.hey gol it later, for old Joe gut. his back up aud swore he would have it. Those 400 wagoners were for a long time the heroes of the campfires. Ooo of them, Jim Wilkerson, our former marshal, lives here now and still de clares that he '.urned his team in an eight-foot out and passed two more in in a ten-foot out and had liked to have heat the whole train to camp. His driving was like the driving of Jehu, for he drove furiously. The big battle of Drainsville never got into history, but it was camp talk at Ceoterville all that winter. During the rayo!"tie? ci 1776 there was* great battle called the ''battle of the kegs" that caused infinito merriment to the continental army-and it was set to verse by a humorous poet, Franois Hopkinson, but this is known to Vir ginia veterans as the "battle of the wagons." BILL ARV. Wight of WiU Without Wit. At one of the clubs tho other day two members were arguing about will power. The conceited man, who was in the habit of boring all present dth hts pointless talcs, said that his will was stronger than his friend's. "You are wrong there," said tho quiet mac, "and I will prove it in this way. You go and stand in that cor ner, and I will will you to come out of it. You will against me, and I bet you that I will have you from that corner before I have commanded you the second time." The smart one took the bet and put himself in the corner. The quiet man said, in a command ing voice, "Como out of that corner 1" - Tho other grinned and shook his head. The quiet man sat down and looked at him steadily. Five minutes passed, and then tho man of'will said, with a sneer: "Hadn't you better give it up? I don't feel any influence at all, and I can't stand here all the evening.'' "There is no hurry," said the quiet man, "and I have a very com fortable seat. There is no time limit except tl at you are to come out be fore I ask you twioe, and as 1 don't intend to ask you again until this day week I think you will feel the influence before then."

Next spring tho seoretary of agricul ture ?ill distribute throughout the country young traca as well ?a garden seeds. Authority for thia n*?w de parture was secured at a reoent ses sion of congress, and an appropriation waa made in the'budget for the coming year. The garden, seed distribution has been the subject of no end of ridicule, and there is uo doubt that a great deal of money is Wasted in that way, but it is nevertheless one of the most pop ular features of oar paternal govern ment, and members of oongroas recog nize its political importance to mich an extent that no argument oan in duce them to abolish or abridge it. The distribution of trees, however, is Secretary Wilson's own idea. Tho people of this country havo been cutting down the natural forests with so mach recklessness that it has become necessary tv start artificia] ones. Tho division of forestry of the agricultural department has made a survey of the country and has ascer tained the pertioular trees w.iich thrive best and are most useful in each locality. According to tho pro gramme for the distribution of trees, next year a given number of seedlings will be allotted to each member of the houso of representatives, who will be asked to furnish a list of oonstitutonts to whom he would like to have them sent. Tho agricultural department will do the rest. The seedlings will be grown in the propagatiog house and forwarded to their distention and in structions as to how they should bo planted and cared for. In this way Mr. Wilson expects to start several million new trees growing throughout this country every year.- Chicago Rc co rd-Herald. ?iways a Sure Winner.
