THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
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.

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. Most of the Senate Finance
? I Committee also favor an interconvertible
! bond of some sort, as developed in the eurrency
