CH ANCELLO RS VIL LE An Incident of a Great Battle of the Civil War. An Aide-de-Gamp of G-aneral Ploasonton Plaoed Between Two IjJJres. Majox Clifford Thompson, aide-de...... r\ 1 cf.ifF tn uiuiji uii vrcuuiai JL ittuwuiuu a occwi., iu the Century, gives the following account of the fight at Hazel Grove: "General Pleasouton rode from gun to gun, directing the gunners to aim low, not to get excited, to make every shot tell; the staff officers, catching their cue from him, did the same, and while at first there had been considerable excitement and apprehension among us, it soon quieted down, and every thought and action was directed to getting the best service out of those guns that they were capable of rendering. Recovering from the disoro o der into which Kcenan's charge had thrown them, the enemy could be seen forming line of battle in the edge of woods now in our front. They were scarcely two hundred yards distant; yet such was the gloom that they could not be clearly distinguished, ixeneral 1'leas^ onton was about to give the order to fire, when a sergeant at one of the guns said: " 'General, aren't those our troops? I see our colors in the linel' This was true, for where he pointed our coloro cou'.d be seen?trophies picked up on the field. General Pleasonton turned to me and said: " 'Air. Thomson, ride out there and Bee who those people are.' "For myself, 1 was not at all curious about 'those people,' being perfectly willing to wait till they introduced themselves. Hiding out between our guns, I galloped to within thirty or forty yards of them; all along the line they cried out tome; 'Come on ; we're friends 1' It was quite dark and I could not make out their uniforms, but I could see three of our fl:tgs, and these caused me to hesi- , tate; I ciimc to a halt, peering into the darkness to make sure, when a bullet whistled by me, and then came 'the rebel yell.' The line charged up the hill towards our guns, and I led itl Lying ( down upon my horse's ncck, I gave him . the spur, and the yells of the "Johnnies' behind, further stimulated him, so that we got over the ground pretty lively. But with report of the first shot fired at ( me, Gen. Pleasonton had opened fire,and i those 22 guns belched forth destruction at a fearful rapid rate. Although lying down on ray horse, I kept an eye on tlic guns, and guided my horse between the flushes, and in less time than it takes to tell, I was on the safe side of them. It was load and fire at will for some ; minutes; the enemy was mowed down in heaps; they could make no headway against such a cyclone, and ran back down the slope to the cover of the woods. But still the canister was poured into them, and a second attempt to \ charge the guns failed. Soon Sickles corps moved from its advanced position \ and interposed between us and the woods; paities sent out over the field which Jiad been swept by our guns found the flnmV?niwl flnin<? 1in /"V.l ~J*"o \?"*0 *? "C?pa. v/.u artillery officers have informed mo that they never before heard such rapid firing as occurred at that engagement; the roar was a continuous one, and the execution terrific. After it had ceased I rode up to Gen. Pleasonton and said: " 'General, those people out there are rebels!' "There was a grnve twinkle in his eye as he held out his hand and replied: 44'Thomson, I never expected to see you again; I thought if they didn't kill you I should, but that was no time to stop for one mail.' "I should have agreed with him more cordially if that one man had been somebody else. * * * When President Line In visited the nrmy a day or two after this fight. General Pleasonton chanced to call at Hooker's headquarters, when that officer said: Mr. President, this is General Pleasonton, who saved the army of the Potomac the other night.' "The President acknowledged the service in his usual grateful manner. Only inspiration, or the instinct of a natural soldier, could have enabled Pleasonton to accomplish so much in so short a time with so small a force. The fight at Hazel Grove was one of those sharp and decisive actions pregnant with great results A Simple Proceeding. A farmer sent a dollar for a lightning potato-bug killer, which ho saw advertised in a paper, and received by return mail two blocks of woo J, with directions printed on as follows: "Take this block, which is No. 1, in the right hand, place tho bug on No. 2 and press them together.

' ';v^ V Alum nnd tho Food Oneslion. Judge McCuo of California is ouo of the most amusing characters in town, ] writes a Washington correspondent to the Boston Tratelier. The judge can ] turn his hand at almost anything. lie has practised law in the West, and when * business became a little slack he ha3 doctored horses for a living. Not a great * while ago, one of the President's beauti- J < ful bays got "under the weather" and | tlio judge temporarily laid aside the prose- t cution of "that little claim" and went < over and took a look at the horse. Uuder * his skilful treatment the horse rapidly recovered, and is now a perfectly well ] and sound animal. Now when the judgo I turns his attention to any particular sub- < ject his friends expect important results. For some time it has been ' known that he has had ^ the food question under advisement, i The judge has some peculiar views upon s this topic, and the resu't of bis investi- * gations, which have been pursued under , rather trying circumstances, are now ^ g v.:n to the world for the first time, f Said he to a group of brother scientists 3 in front of Willard's: ''Gentlemjn, I ? have solved the food problem I can live here in Washington on ten cents a day, and I am doing it now. My system is 8 this, as you know I am not an early rist*r. t I usually turn out at about 11 o'clock ^ and take a late break fas1. I go to the ? dairy just around the corner and buy a r cup of coffee for five cents, and with the 1 other five I get five Maryland biscuit at a w penny a piece." Just here one of ihe group nf hnfirnra infnminfnil fKn wUli 4-1%^ ?uvvt i U^/VVU vuv JUU^U TT ibu tnu j int( rjection:1 'That exhausts tlie ten cents, t judge. How do you get your other meals?" " "I urn coming to that presently, my B friend. Don't be impatient; you shall jj hear the whole story," was the reply. < Then he resumed: "My breakfast is eaten slowly and well digested. It generally lasts me until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. At that time the gnawings of hunger begin to assert themselves. This is where my discovery comes in. I always go provided with several small pieces of alum. "When I begin to get hungry I place one of these little bits of _ alum in my mouth and allow it to slowly dissolve. The effect is that it contracts 5 the throat and the stomach, and the sen- / 11 sation of hunger disappears. I repeat * this dose until bed time,and I fall asleep I jj like a child. Gentlemen, I tell you that J1: eating is nothing but a habit after all." i The judge's important discovery has not as yet stimulated the alum market to any ? appreciable degree. ? d Some Q icer Ointments, r "I will bet you $4 against an empty k pill box," said a Newark druggist, "that J: you cannot persuade a Jersey woodchop- f per that rattlesnake oil is not a sovereign o remedy for rheumatism, or induce a b Pennsylvania Dutch woman to renounce her belief in the virtue of goosegrease for ^ colds, sore throat and kindred com- t plaints.

'"Same tub," said the druggist, with a ^ wink, "I get bear's grease, dog fat, skunk grease, and material for all my legular ointments out of that tub. I came j very near using it up the other day when ] an old colored man came in and wanted < a half pound of 'snappin' turkle fat for ' his old woman's back.' An old E lglish ' 0 < woman came in the other day and asked ^ for parrot fat, and when I told her that ' ] I did not believe it could be obtained in J this country she told me that she could ^ always get it in London, and that it was ( good for tongue-tied children and people j witu wettK voices."?

Dr. Robert St. George Dryanforth of j Washington relates a curious experience of his own during the civil war, and 1 later while acting as a correspondent in the Franco-German war. While serving , in the first great struggle the doctor was 1 shot through the lungs and was invalided. He subsequently went to Europe for his 1 health and remained there some years. When the German war broke out he | became correspondent for the New York Tribune, and in one of the battles he was shot through the base of the skull. He caught a heavy cold while lying wounded on the battle-field, and his wound in the lungs troubled him so much that his life was despaired of and he was a victim of rapid consumption. One day during a violent fit of coughing the doctor brought up a piece of his overcoat, which had been shot into his lungs ten years before. The ejection of this causo tf irritation so relieved him that he at once became better, and finally completely recovered. Ho returned to , Washington and has since held the offico of Judge of the Court of Appeals. He was also a member of the Bonrd ot Examiners and Assistant Commissioner of Patents.* Dry an forth is now a prominent patent lawyer. Bo what thou singly art, and personate j only thyself.

With- 1 ut her, no revival could hope to ho a uccess; and, whenever there was the east draw-back, she was called upon to >ray. One night, at a meeting, the uourners were slow in "comin' \ hrongh." Sister l'oyle was called up- ? m. She took a position near the altar, ] :nelt down, raised her hands, and said: 1 Oh, Lord, we are in great distress. ] Ve have tried rye, browned potatoes, , arched corn, okery, and many other i lungs, trying to get a coffee ta to out i i 'oin, but.
