THE TRUTH AROUT THE FAMOUS CHARGE "INTO THE MOUTH OF IIELL." At Inst we have a 'historical blander gracefully corrected, and a handsome dofcnso of a bravo soldier whose name has been under a cloud. It has been popularly . decided that Captain Louis Nolan, of Lord Raglan's staff, being an impetuous soldier, purposely misconstrued the actual meaning of an order which he carried into an authorization of the senseless sacrifice of the Light Brigade, and that his only excuse was that he was the first man killed in the charge. Launce Polytz in the Galaxy, after reviewing the topography of the hattlofield and the position of the forces, says : As it was, matters stood thus when .Nolan left Raglan, hearing the" "fourth order/'? The Russians were clustered on two hills, tho English and French cavalry stood looking onj Lucan was in lii's usual nervous, ir-' ritublestate, when the gallop of .ahorse was heard. A tall, slender young officer, with a trim figuro.and black mustache, was coming down a deep descent at full ^peed, with a white envelope stack iu. his belt; and every f e) c was on him in a moment. It wa0 Captain Nolan, in his scarlet shelljacket, a little forage cap set on one side of his dark curls, bis face full of joy und eag$ness. An audible murmur went through the ranks. "Orders come! Nolan's the boy that'll show us the way to move." For Nolan was well known and universal!) beloved. In another moment ho had dashed up and saluted; then handed hib letter to Lord Lucan. The cavalry general tore it open with the nervous haste characteristic of every movement of his lordship. When ho read j it over, his countenance changed. Then his lordship broke out, something in this stWo: ' Why, good heavens, sir; what can he mean ? With the little force at our command we eau hardly hold our own, much less advance It.is perfectly suicidal. How can we advance ? Nolan's eye began to blaze, lie had just come from the high ground, whence the whole Russian position could be seen at a glanco. Knowing that his order contemplated the doubling back of the Russian columns and saving the guns in the redoubts, he was impatient of the pragmatical objections of this captions old man. In a stern, distinct tone he spoke to Lord Lucan : u T?ord Raglan's orders are that the cavalry should attack immediately.' ?N '+. :_i'' vJvj.I ! u-'en .niv'. jty. " Attack what: What gufls, sir! 1 1 Nolan threw his head back indignantly, and pointed to the Causeway Ridge, where the Russians were busily at work trying to haul away the captured guns. Tho group was standing at the right of the entrance of the north valley. " There, my Lord, is your enemy," he - ' _ ft said, " and there are your yiun, 'J'he Captain forgot that lie was talking toxi;i excited and itnpracticablc old man.? Wrong-headed Lucnn clmsc to fancy that he pointed to the end of the valley, and with all the obstinacy of his nature, kept to the error, "Very well sir. very well/' he said angrily " Tho order shall be obeyed. I wash' tuy hands of it." ile wheeled his horse and trotted off to where Cardigan sat in front of his brilliant lines gnawing his gray mustache and dialing over his inaction. Then said the wrong-headed Lucan : " Lord Cardigan, you will attack the Russians iu the valley." The earl dropped his sword in salute. "Certainly, uiy lord; but allow me to point out to you that there is a battery on each flank, and the ground is covered with Russian riflemen." "I can't help it." said Lucan, snappishly; I "it is Lord Raglan's pi siiivo order that the light brigade is to attack the enemy. Wo i have 110 choice bid, to obey." Then CarJigan bowed his head. .' Very well, uiy lord," was all lie said.? Then turning t? his staff: "The brigade will advance," he said quietly. Meantime Nolan, after his sharp passage of arms witli the division commander, had : ridden ofTto the right brigade himself, where ; he was cheerfully talking to his sworn comi rade and friend, Capt. Morris, of the seven Iceuth lancers. Now that lie had maintained his position as mouth-piece of commanderI in-chief, against the impndcntj fault-finding of Lucan, he felt happy. His beloved cavalry was to be launched at last on this glorious mission against the Causeway Ridge, and already D'Allonville was preparing to assault the oilier flank of the Russians. Who can wonder that enthusiastic Nolan i told Morris that lie was going to see the | brigade through the charge ? 11, was hi? priv1 ilegc to do so, and his heart heat high with | hope. Little did lie know of the extent of tin- pig-headed stupidity natural to the two ! members of the English aristocracy who re' -...-I ln/l flirt rtllOVirn ' spectiveiy commanu'Tu .mu mu mw I A clear, sharp voice was soon heard in front of the brigade now formed in three lines Lord Lucan rode away to tlie '-Ileavi and Nolan galloped round the rear oi the left of the brigade, as tho sharp voice i r i'.d : ' Light brigade forwaid, trot, uinrch !" In a lunnent the front line was away, a* i ; stead) as if on parade, at a rapid trot, fol i 1 lowing an ercet gentleman. mounted on i i I eh. -nut thorough hred, and wearing tiglr ! sr-irb't trousers and a blue fur-trimined jack ' ' et. iV front a perfect blaze ofgold. ; ( fhe erect gentlemaii was as slender ii i figure, us alert in gesture ns a boy of twent5 1 1 niol yet that man was fifty-seven years old 1 and tho earl of Cardigan himself. Mat hardly hod they, started when Nola uttered a cry ol" astnnistiraont aua rage. "Good God ! ave the fools going to charge down tho valley'(" lie shouted. Then setting spurs to his horse, he dashod out of his place and galloped madly across the front, waving his sword. 1 "Where are you going, my lord" he shouted. "That is not Lord ltaglan's or-, dcr! Change front to the right This way! This way! The. batteries on the ridge!" Lord Cardigan was as hot-tempered in his way as Lord Luoan. The audacity of an officer presuming jto cross his front was enough. For that officer to address his brigade was an additional insult. lie spoke not a word, but pointed grimly forward with hi3 sword. Nolan's words were lost in tho thunder of hoofs, and all that was seen was his figure crossing the front and wildly gesticulating, pointing to Causeway Ridge'. The Russian batteries open. Thoro was a flash, a boom and second Hush in the air, a little cloud of white smoke, and a loud spang ! as the first shell burst in the faces of the trotting line. Poor Nolan threw up his arm with a fearful shriek, and fell back in his saddle, stone dead, struck through the heart. With a a low groan of rage the rushing horsemen quickened their pace and dashed on, at a wild gallop, into the valley of death. The secret of Br.Iaklava perished with Nolan. "Tho Gray Mar? the Better Horse." This well-known proverbial saying originated from the following circumstances: A gentleman of a certain county in England having married a young lady of considerable fortune, and at the same time possessed of many other charms, he found, not long after marriage, that she was of a high, domineering temper, and always contending to be mistress both of him and his family; therefore he formed the resolution of parting from her. Accordingly he waited upon her father, and told him that he found his daughter of such a temper that he was heartily tired of her, and if he would take her home again he would /? 1 O i. . return overy penny or ncr lonune. The old gentleman, having Inquired into the cause oi' hi? complaint, asked bim why he should be more disquieted at it than any other married man, since it was tho common caso with them all, and consequently no more than he might have expected when he entered into the married stat#. The young gentleman desired to be excused if ho said he was so far from giving his assent to this assertion that he thought himself more unn sfn'rir m way to n? MBSt^a^iTlfldsT cc'i^ tain!}' no man who had a sense of right and wrong could ever submit "to bo governed by his wife. ''Son,' said tho old man, "you arc but little acquainted with the world if you do not* know that all women govern their husbands, though not all indeed by the same- method; however, to end all disputes between us, I will put what I have .said upon this to proof, if you avo willing to try it. "I have five horses in my stable; you shall harness these to a cart, in which I will placo a basket containing 100 eggs; and if, in passing through the country and making a strict inquiry into the truth or falsehood of my assertion. and leaving a horso at the house of every man who is master of his family himself. and an egg where the wife governs, you Shall nua your eggs gone uciuic juui nV? w, I hope that you will then think your own case not uncommon, but will be contented to go homo and look upon your own wife as no worse than her neighbors, [f, on the other hand, your horses aro gone first, I will tako my daughter home again and you shall keep her fortune." This proposal was too advantageous to bo rejected. Our young married man therefore set out with great eagerness to get rid, asjio thought, of his horses and his wife. At the first house he came he heard a woman with a shrill and angry voice call to her husband to go to the door. Here ho left an egg, you may ho sure, without making any further inquiry. At the next house he met with [something of the same kind, and at every house, in short, until his eggs were almost gone, when he arrived at the seat of a gentleman of family aud and figuro in the country. lie knocked at the door, and inquiring for tho master of the house, was told by a servant that his master was not stirring, but if he pleased to walk in, his lady was in tho parlor. The lady with great complaisance desirod him to be seated, and said if his business was urgent she would wake her husband, but had much rather not disturb him.? "Why really, madam," said he, "my busi ness is only to ask a question, which you car it _;I resolve as wen as yuurguusvnuu, u ^Vu ??.. be ingenuous with me; you will doubtlesi think it odd, and it may be deemed impoliU tor any one, much more a straugcr, to nsl such a questiou; but as a wager depend upon it, and it may bosoino advantage t< yourself to declare the truth to me, 1 hopi these considerations will plead my excuse It is. madam, my desire to be inforuiet whether you govern your husband, or a rules over you." "Indeed sir," replied tli lady, "this question is somewhat odd; but a 1 think no one ought to he ashamed ofdoin] their duty. 1 shall make no scruple to sit that 1 aui always proud to obey my husbam in all things; but if a woman's own word i i to bo suspected in such n case, let him an - swer for me. lor here ho comes." i The gentleman at this time entered th I room, and after some apologies, being mini - acquainted with the business, conlirme every word his obedient wife had rcportc i in her own favor, upon which he was n quested to choose which horse in the teai I. he liked best; and to accept ot it as a pre cut. n A black gelding struck the fancy of tl ?cui/ieui<iu uiusv, uuu bae lauy uehirea no would choo?e the gray mare, which she ' thought would be very fitfor her side-saddle; her husband gave substantial reasons why the black horse would be the most useful to them, but uiadam still persisted in her chum to the gray mare. "What," said she, "and will you not take her then ? But I say you shall, for I am sure the gray mare is much* the better horse." "Well, my dear," replied the husband, "if it must be so?" "You must take an egg," replied the gentleman caller, "and I must take all my horse9 back again, and endeavor to live happy with my wife."?iV. Y. Observer. Bai> fob the Lawyers.?Quite a number of the subordinate granges of Iowa have incorporated into tneir constitutions a clause binding members, in cases whoro differences occur between them, to submit in all cases to the decision of arbitrators. This they rigidly adhere to, and lawsuits are becoming things almost unknown, and the lawyers and courts find little to do. A member who refuses to abide by the pledge he takes in this regard when he signs the constitution,, is said to have greater regard for law than j ustice and is a subject for grange discipline, even to expulsion.? This feature of grange management cannot be too highly extolled nor too widely adopted among the subordinates. If we could get at the expenses of litigation among farmers?the lawyers' and court fees, the time squandered, to say nothing of the ill feeling and permanent enmity resulting * in the rupture of social intercourse, which is ?0 palpably essential to growth in morals and happiness?we have no doubt it will be found to go a long Vay towards paying the ' farm taxes of every community. Let the example presented by our Iowa friends spread, not only among Patrons, but among all organizations of farmers. Prairie Farmer. Beeciieu on Stock Gambling.?Henry Ward Beecher recently delivered a lecture iu Boston, on "The Battle of Business," from which we extract tho following paragraph : "If it is dangerous to gamblo in infamous play-houses, it is much more dangerons in our great coma^rcial centers. It is a crying shame that it should be in the power of a few men to convulse a whole nation merely to fill their own coffers. [Applause.] Legitimate stock selling is distinctly a legitimate business, bat stock selling as conducted by some men is a crime so atrocious that if anything deserves the halter that does.? * < When men have it in their power to gamble in srrrcryas in me time OiluO WarJ as to compel tho government to temporarily exercise Caisarism to savo the nation?that men can do this unwhipt of justice shows that we havo not yet learnod how to conduct commerce in its highest forms. To day one of these men is poor; to-morrow lie overflows with riches: but there is one consolation with regard to them?they never keep their riches. Can you point out one of these men who ha<? retired with a fortune ana reasonably enjoyed it f They have no moderation, and only live in the fiery passions of the street. But thousands of innocent men are ruined by thein, and it is a burning shame that they should be allowed to carry ruin to innocent victims. If public opinion could not restrain them a law should be passed that would." The Boston Journal gives an account of the present condition of the Lawrence Mills. The Kverett Mill has reduced the working time to eight hours per da^". Tho Pacific Mills are in full operation, but the management have under consideration tho reduction of wages or tho reduction of hours of labor. It is thought no nocessity will arise to cause a reduction of the number of workmen. The Atlantic Mills arc at work on thou basis for the Winter?four days each week, and ten hours per day?and if any change occurs it will probably be for increased rather tlfca.decreased production. The Washington and PainKApfnn Mills are in full oDeration. Tho , . ? , Duck Mills are obliged to run four nfghts each week to meet the demand for their goods. The Lawrence Mill has mado a slight reduction in the hours of labor. Wages have been reduced in but one mill, though how soon it may occur in other mills is not known. The doinaad for the products of 1 the mills is at the present time very small, 1 consequently manufactured stock is accumulating. 1 Tiie Scheme oe Mr. Spinner.?The [ Cincinnati Timet, speaking of the proposition . for tho issue of 3.65 convertible bonds, i says : ' Mr. Spinner" is uot alone iu bis idea, 5 haviug, it is believed, the President on 5 his side, most, if uot all of the Cabinet, cer1 tainly Mr. Richardson, together with the Ass sistant Secretary and the Controller of he 5 Currency.
