Major I’elham’" Sunday, the loth, dawned It was sunny Weather, fat^atjd sweet, with all the liloom of May, the bright trees waving, the long grass rippling, waters flowing, the sky azure, bees about the flowers, the birds singing piercingly sweet, Mother Earth so beautiful, the sky down-bending, the light of the sun so gracious, warm and vital! A little before noon, kneeling beside him, his wife told Stonewali Jackson that he would die. He smiled and laid his hand upon her bowed head. “You are frightened, my child. Death is not sq near. I may yet get well.” The doctor came to him. “Doctor, Anna tells me that I am to die to-day. Is it so?” “Oh, General, General! It is so.” Tie laid silent for a moment, then he said: “Very good, very good! It^.is all right.” Throughout the day his mind was now clouded, now'clear. The alternate clear moments and the lapses into stu por or delirium w ere like the sinking or rising of a strong swimmer, exhausted at last, the prey at last of a shoreless sea. At times he came head and shoulders out of the sea, opened bis gra\ blue eyes upon his staff. The sea drew him under again.

Hooker’s reserves were up. About the Chancellor House, on the Chancellors- ▼ ille Ridge, they were throwing up intrenchments. They were digging the earth with bayonets, they were heaping it up with their hands. Turning Little Sorrel, he rode back along the plank road toward his own lines. The light of the burning brush Racf sunken, the cannon smoke float ing in the air, the very thick woods, made all things obscure. Stonewall Jackson came toward the Carolinians. He rode quickly past the dark shell of a house sunken among the pines. There were with him seven or eight persons. The horses’ hoofs made a trampling on the plank road. The woods were deep, the obscurity great. Suddenly out of the bush rang a shot, an accidentally discharged rifle. Some gray soldier among Lane’s tense ly awaiting ranks spoke from the core of a fearful dream: “Yankee cavalry?” “Fire!” called an officer of the 18th North Carolina. The volley, atriking diagonally across the road, emptied several saddles. Stonewall Jackson, the aides and Wil- bourne wheeled to the left, dug spur od would have plunged info the road Uiccr He shook his lu^il I "No one.'" said Hill “must tell the Don t, m* n We *ant quiet now troops who was wounded " The other A very few hundred yards from than- opened bis eyes. "Tell them simplv cellorsville he checked Little Sorrel that you have a wounded officer. Gen The horse stood, fore feet planted. Hill, you are in command now Press right on.” A litter was found and brought and Stonewall Jackson was laid upon it. The little procession moved toward Dowdall’s Tavern. A shot pierced the arm of one of the bearers, loosening his hold of the litter. It tilted. The General fell heavily to the ground, in juring afresh the wounded limb, strik ing and bruising the side. They raised him, pale now and silent, and at last they struggled through the wood to a little clearing. On May 5 Stonewall Jachson was carefully moved from the Wilderness to Guiney’s Station. Here was a large old residence—the Chandler house— within a sween of of grass and trees: about it one or two small buildings. The great house was filled, crowded to its doors with wounded soldiers, so they laid Stonewall Jackson in a rude cabin among the trees. The left arm had been amputated in the field hospi tal. He was thought to be doing well. At daylight on Thursday he had his physician called. “I am suffering great pain,” he said. “See what is the matter with me." And presently, “Is it pneumonia 7 ” That afternoon his wife came. He was aroused to speak to her, greet her roots of last year's stalks As an exper iment he decided to cultivate the field —just to see w hat it would do He now claims, according to reliable information, that he has a good “stand,"and, in fact that this cotton is the best he has on his place. He expects to pick a bale to each acre. Mr. Morris states that he does not know how many acres Mr. Chapman’s remarkable field contains, nor has he seen it himself; but added that he ex pects, on his next trip down that way, to view this cotton with his o.vn eyes. — Eilenton Newt.
