THE GENERAL'S
FORGIVENESS.
We looked before us and then lo
left and right, and ev? rywhoro WO saw
the smoke of i lu- enemy's musketry ox
tending like Uro in a Held of dry grass,
while the little bullets Bang like a
swarm of hers, cutting down our ranks
and driving the survivors into a hud
dled mass, li is one thing lo light the
foe in an open plain, where you can
see Ins lace and the chances uro even.
It is another thing to charge him lu
his chosen position, with the (lag wav
ing over you, the drum healing you
on and the hot blood singing in your
veins, but it is a very different thiug
to have him li-e up from tho woods
and thickets all around you when you
did not know of his presence and en
velop you in a lire that burns and
blinds you.
The torrent of the IJritish musketry
grew alike in sweep ami volume. Our
surprise was e< tnplelO, overwhelming
and terrible. We had marched into
the ambush as if that were the only
road in the world, aud our Bbatlorcd
lines recoiled fai l her and fai l her. Wc
were shouting lo each other, tiling
random ?hol? at the enemy whom WG
could not see and bending lo too hail I
of hi'Hot* which reduced our number
so last. Our colonel was fwearing at
the men and striking some with lite.
Hat of his sword in vain attempt to re
store order, and then 1 saw a grayish
color overspread his face, lie slopped i
quite still f? r a moment, as if lie bad
been stricken with BUdden paralysis, i he
sword dropped from his outstretched
hand, and tic pitched forward on his
lace.
'?Our colonel's killed i Our colonel's
kilU d ! " ran a wailing cry through the
regiment. We loved Colonel Carruthers
and well he deserved our love. II j
had led us through a d< zon battles,
Sometimes in victory and sometimes
in defeat, hut always ho had been the
same brave, patient, kindly mail, watch
ing over us like a father. When the
bullet struck him down, wc felt as if
W8 had received the lead in our own
bodies, and the wailing cry was follow
ed by one great groan, coining from
us all togothor,
But the lire that converged upon us
grew hotter and hotter and deadlier
aud deadlier. The bushes seemed to
8p?>ut death. Innumerable little Hashes
of H?mo appeared among them, mark
ing the activity of ihe dining sharp
shooters, aud iho shrill hiss of the bul
lets never ceased. Our numbers melt
ed rapidly, although some tried to re
store order and reform the ranks tin y
wasted both threat and appeals. We
were veterans, but we had been thrown
into a panic. It was not the lire of tho
enemy, it was tho surprise, the am
bush, and our round regiment, a mob of
fugitives, Btrouincd backward, leaving
behind it the trail of Us dead and
Wounded.
*? Good God, Gordon,did [thinkthat
I would ever see such a siglu I And
we boasted that ours was the finest
regiment in the army tool" gioaned
Captain Hunter to nie. There woretears
on Ins face, and he struck a fugitive
across the head with the Hat of his
sword. But the man paying no atten
tion to him, ran on.
I looked back and saw the British
pressing forward in a swarm, their red
coats gleaming in the dazzling sunlight
and their sharpshooters showing the
same deadly activity that had marked
them in ihe beginning. But rank und
Hie and sharpshooters alike no longer
sought concealment. There was no
need of it now. They saw that we
were beaten, panic stricken, ami they
crowded upon us, pouring into us a lire
that added lo our confusion and the
desire to run taster.
Wc were, firing, too, bill in a wild
and scattered way, and I fancy that
few of the bullets found a British mark.
The Brooke of the musketry hung over
us and at limes obscured our Bight, but
always we beheld through it the red
and hostile uniforms pressing down
upon us in closer and heavier columns.
I knocked suddenly against some one,
and then wnen the smoke cleared away
a little I saw it was Captain Hunter
again.
"Can't you do something? Can't you
do something, Gordon?*' he cried in dc
spaii. "Oh, that such a thing should
happen to this of all regiments !"
He rah-cd his sword again tostiike a
man, but the arm dropped back to his j
side, shot through by a musket ball, j
Yet be Still shouted to them and sought
to bold them back and form a line of
resistance. I will confess that I bad
suffered from I he panic terror at first
when the volleys leaped from the mus
kets of ihe bul len sharpshooters in the
butdies, feeling that sudden impulse to
run away, to escape the bullets that
were cutting us down, the animal in-;
stinct, I think, but now niv pride, be- |
gun to take control of my feelings. I
turned my face more than once toward
the enemy, and I found that it embold
ened me. The danger that I saw was
less terrible then the danger at my
back. Then 1 used both entreaties
and threats to make the men turn, but
they did not hear or if hearing they |
did not heed. The rout went on and
and the. smoke cloud and our disgrace
alike infolded us.
"To the hills yonder! To the hills!"
shouted the men and ihey looked long
ingly at the. broken ridges that lay be
fore us a mile away. They knew that
our main army was there, ..nd the
thought in all their breasts was of ref
uge behind us numbers. We reached
a little brook and plunged across it in i
such a huddled mass that the water '
Hew up in a shower, and then in an
instant all of us were, on ihe other side.
There we paused a moment. A great
man on a white horse stood across ihe '
path.
I fehall never forget the look of that
man as he sat there on his horse he
fore us, horse and man a1 ike motion
less and i he eyes of eacl seeming to
blaze vith (ire, as if Ihey were one and
the same being. Every line of his
in i mi!', lar^e h attires showed in the
dazzling sunlight, and I remember
that I noticed even then, although I
had seen him many times before, how
maaaive and powerful wan the jaw ami
how clear and penetrating the eye.
Ilia hand larger than the average man's
and grasping the bridle rein, lay upon
his horao'a neck
It was General Washington, the
commander in chief.
Tho horse did n< t move. Tho rider
was motionless in the saddle. Ho mere
ly sat there regarding us witn that
calm, icily cold gaze which wc feared
tnoro than bullets.
Wo recoiled aa if tho encmv woro
before us and not behind us, nnd for
the moment wo forgot tho fire that
had driven us on. Thon ho spoke: |
"May I aek what this regiment is '
doing?"
His tones were calm, icily cold, like 1
his look, but full of scorn. Wc heard
I tit'm distinctly amid the crackling lire
from the British, although he had not
Boetned to raise hi * voice. We made
no reply, merely looking at one auoth- j
or, each waiting lor some other to
speak.
"May I ask what this regiment Is
doiug?" he repeated, hut in a louder
voic, and then he continued: "Is
this the regiment that 1 commended
after I'rinetou in the presence of the
whole army for extraordinary gallantry
in the face of the enemy? Is this the
regiment that showed even greater
bravery at tiennanlownV"
There was a cry in the rear of our
huddled crowd. The tire of the cue ny
bail grown hotter and had come closer.
It was scorching terribly, and tho regi
ment by an abrupt convulsive move
I men heaved forward directly toward
the general. The 11 It hi was about to
i continue in spile of bun.
I But be rode suddenly toward US, his
I face red with wrath, and he sie utfcd
1 in a voice that rose far above the crash
j of the British musketry: "Whoro is
; your colonel? Where is Colonel Car*
I miners?"
"The colonel is killed. He fell
early in (ho attack," replied sonic one.
"A id his body -where is il? What
have you done with il?" shouted the
general.
?Ml is back yonder." 1 replied,
"among Iho l>n^l?*"^ ou the hillside He
w is loft where he fell."
"Do you mean to cay that you have
abandoned your colonel's body to the
outlay?" shouted tho geuernl to the
whole I'Cgllllcnt rather than to me.
"Does any American regiment aban
don its otllcors dead or alive in such a
manner? A retreat bet?re superior
numbers can be pardoned, but not
that. Uo back and bring away your
colonel's body!''
I His voice was large, like everything
ehe about him, and its tones rolled
among us like thunder. The men
wavered and turned (looting glaucea
toward iho enemy. They thought of
the body of our helovod colonel lying
hack there among the hushes and in the
hands of the foe. lie wa not alone
the colonel, but ihe lather of the regi
ment, ami it would be repented by
every other regiment in the army as
long as any of us Used that we had
abandoned him.
They still hesitated, and Captain
Hunter, running among them, shoui
od, "For God's sake, men, turn back
and bring off the colonel's bodyl"
j Then we junior otllcers, Inspired again
by his example, took up the. cry, and
presently the soldiers themselves bo
gun to shout it. It swelled among ua
like a refrain. "Save the colonel's
bodyl"
'?Come, Gordon!'' shouted Captain
Hunter to mo. "The way is not there,
but hi re. Tbl" rode takes us to the
colonel's bodyl" And turning about
he ran toward the British. 1 followed
him, and suddenly our men, wheeling,
I too, ran upon the British vanguard,
shouting that refrain, "Save the colo
nels bodyl Save the colonel's bodyl"
There is something terrible in the
wrath of men who have been thrown
into a panic terr >r and then, under the
influence of a sudden and great emo
tion, recover completely from it.
They have so much to atone for that
tho ualural courago in ihcra burns like
lire. Our turn was so quick, our rush
so flcrce, that the British were as
much surprised as we had been. Their
vanguard was crushed in an insl'Uit,
swept entirely from the field, and then
giving their main force our second vol
ley, we drove at it ?>ilh the bayonet,
and always above the crackle of the ri
tles and muskets and the clash of steel,
rose that somber battle cry: "Save the
colonel's body! Save tho colonel's
body!"
We had lied a full mile, and the colo
nel lay somewhere near the begiuning
of the rout. That was our objective
point now, and we rushed back upon
our own path, lighting as our regi
moot, famous in the Whole army, has
never fought before, pressing heavily
> and more heavily upon the British and
' driving them before us. I think that
I no troops in the world could have held
J us back then, und shoiituig our battlc
I cry, we pressed on toward that fatal
spot on the hillside when; our beloved
colonel's body lay. The smoke of the
firing blow in our faces, the enemy's
bullets s'.ung us, some of the men fell,
but only the dead, the wounded light
ing like the unwounded, and suit drove
Blraight for that spot among the bush
j os on fie hillside.
The British recoiled before such a
shock and swept on faster than ever.
Then we began to climb the hillside,
and the men shotted: "Here U where
befell! Here is where he fell! But
the Cole no! himself, pale and bloody,
rose up among the bushes and said in
a weak voice; but distinctly heard by
us: "I knew that my brave lads
would come back for me I I knew
that they would not leave mo to the
enemy I On, lads, and sweep them
fiom the hills!"
He led ui himself, wounded as he
was, and we hurled OUrsciVOS directly
Upon the whole British army, while
we beard to loft and right tho long,
rolling lire of our own .winy as it press
ed forward to the battle which we had
been chosen to open.
? ?*????
That night, when the victory was
won, our regiment, silent, Subdued and
humbled by a memory, marched past
General Washington and Iiis staff and
our own colonel, Who was Htill pale and
Weak, wearing a great bandage around
ins head.
"Crucial," said Captain Hunter to
the commander in chief, acting as our
spokesman, "is it possible for the regi
ment to obtain forgiveness? "
" Captain Hunter, " he replied, " tho
regiment lias earned its forgiveness al
ready. It brought off its colonel, and
it has the chief credit of the victory to
lay. "
Then wc gnvc a great cheer and went
10 our quarters, happy once more. Hut
[ reflected as I walked along that great
nen find many ways to do their work.

now John Miir.ioi v.\ aor ttlOII.
Ho Whh a Hold luv CBtor and Not a
Speculator in tllO Common I'hc oi
? hat Torin.
Everyone koows that the late .John
Shermau died a rieh man, but few are
perhaps, acquainted with the Industry
and practical fur-sightedr.ess which
made this accumulation on the part of
toe old statesman possible.
Mr. Sherman, according to one who
knew him froui the earliest period of
his life, acquired suvng habits when
ho was a hoy and very poor, Ho also
at that timo gained a reputation among
hl? relatives t;nd neighbors for his suc
cess as a collector, and persons having
h?ls outstanding iu his neighborhood
against debtors who wore " slow pay "
! used to employ him. even while, ho was |
still a bare-loot lad, to dun the delin
quents. He always came back with the
cash. Although bis 11 ret speculative
I venture, with a car^o of salt, was
wrecked by an accident, ho had accu
mulated before ho was 24 years old, the
snutf sum ol $1U,0U0. Tnu greater part
(d this mooey went into ono or two
building manufacturing enterprises,
one. of whicti developed into a sash anO
blind factory ana was oflon referred to
by him us or.o of the most protitai 1
direct investments of his life.
Shortly Ouforo he entered 'Jcnjreaa
having a few thousand In roi<dy money,
he put most of it into m^rt^a^es on
the outskirts of what was then the
small city of Cincinnati. Too panic
of 1857 found almost all his uchtors un
abie to keep up their payments, and
Mr. Sherman, featiog that uudor the
hammer the properly would not bring
j tho face vuluo of the lncumhrances,
wont to too sher ff's sale himself and
bid it ill in. lJjforo ho had fully made
up his mind what to do with it, th
city's population began to spread into
tho suburos, and his land rose in value
week by >\oek. The result ol this
whole transaction was a very largo ad
dition to Ins loriune.
Ho foresaw ut a very early day the
future success of the Plltibu^g, Ft.
Wuyno and Chicago railroad and bo
cameonuof Its strongest backers, gala
lug a handsome profit from h,s Invest
ments in its slock and bonds. He has
also had (treat faith in tho smaller
manufacturing industries started in
' Oaio after the civil war, aud had con
alderablu money invented in these, in
small lots standing In the namo o? toe
stockholders, who shared tho profits
with him on a basis previously ar
ranged between them.
U has Kentrally been supposed tbat
Mr. Stierman bought government
bonds larguly during the refunding
? period : but, If so, there are no records
{ in the ireariiry department to indicate
it, and tho subordinate oilicers who
served under his secretaryship are
j generally of tho opinion that he made
I no investments In these funds ut that
i time. Ho did, however, build blink-,
of 10 brick houses of a size which
would rent for an uvoragu of $2? a
month, nono of which probably cost
him more than $2,000, In tho neighbor
hood of the government priming ollice.
Tno expansion of the public printing
plunt of courno greatly enhanced the
valuo of thetc nouses, which were
rented to printers.
Directly after the c'ose of Hoss Shep
aril's regime in Washington, Mr. Sher
man became convinced that suburban
property here was a sufo Investment.
He. accordingly bought two largo farm
tructs on the northern border of the
city at low prices, by tho ucre, one of
which was afterward platted us "Jolin
Sherman's subdivision of M t 1' e ?sunt,"
and the other as "John Sherman's
subdivlslon of Pleasant Plains." Thesi
ure known now as Meridian Hol aud
Columbia Heights, They have become
extremely valuable. Mr. Sherman of
fered to tome of the thriftier members
of the treasury stslY a chance to Invest
in lots In these suudivisions ut 10 and
12 and 15 cents u tquare foot. Too
same property now acils ut from $1 f>0
to $2 a square foot, and Mr. Snermao
probably netted a million or more from
It.
For a long while his Columbia
Heights property luy comparatively
Idle, owing to restrictions which he
had foreseen to put into tho deeds.
Tbese required, for instance, that u
building lino should bo observed wblob
would muko each of the streets 110
foot wide, and prohibited llquoi
saloons, manufacturing establishments
and all forms of nuisances. Trio wis
dom of such provisions became ap
parent later when some other subdivi
SlOn failed to amount to anything ano
Mr. Sherman's begun to forge straight
ahead.
Most of Mr. Shermun's friends who
knew anything about his affairs din
curd tho notion that ho has over made
anything by speculation in tho oral
nary sense of that term. Ho has been
a bold investor, they say, but un in
vestor in the meaning tout his stocks,
bonds, deeds, etc , could bo looked up
in a safe und loft there until lie goi
ready to soil. They also refer, as he
used to in his lifetime with much gleo,
to hi* wonderful " luck " in several In
stances.
A notable ono ?vas bis Mnnstiold
farm. The capitalists of Maiibl'old
wore organl'/.ini! a hunk a good many
years BgO, and Mr. Sherman took some
Block in it. He afterwards wanted to
incrcaso hla holdings, and while look
in,: about for some ono who wished to
sell, he came across a atockholder who
said. " I will not aoll my atock, but I
will buy yours, if, In paying for it, you
will let mo turn over to you my farm
on the odgo of tho town, for which 1
have no longer any use."
Mr. Sherman bad not thought of

to its value by presenting a pleco from

1'rcMdcnt Jordan Chargoa That Agri |
cultural Bureau Ih Uaed by s* pecu
lating Against the Farmern' In
tercut.
Mr. linrvio Jordan, president of the
Interstate Cotton Growers' Protective
association, charges that tho govern
ment agricultural department, instead
o( being operated In the Interests of
the farmers Is, being used as a basis for
the rankest kind of speculation, to
their serious Injury, tie further avers
that the sources from welch tho gov
ernment secures its information is no
lougcr reliable, and declares that the
faut that t'.iis season') crop Is short 1*
loo well known for attempts at decep
tion on the part of speculators.
Mr. Jordan made tins I charges in a
statement to the Atlanta J ;urnal, w h i b
is as follows :
Too recent report on the estimate!
?leid of the cotton crop for this so kson
by tho agricultural depanm tut ai
Washington on'y succeeded In tempo:
arily depressing tbeprlceof tho staple
I k lias Oecu opeoly charged that ad
vancc Information of the bureau re
port was furnished c irtalu parte'- on
Skturday, two days beb r j. the publ ua
i.on of tho report, and that SUOb par
ties were ablo to take advantage of the
-peculation markot, by creating the
Impression that a " bullish '' report
would bo given out, when they knew
tho contrary to bo the case. Toe Now
Orleans and New York cotton ex
changes have demanded a rigid inves
tigation of the statistical department
of too Washington bureau, and it U to
bo hoped that tho matter will bo prob
ed to Hie bottom.
Twice this season tho market ha
been thunderstruck by these monthly
iniroau reports, aud ttie prices foi'OOU
down 50.10 'id points witlnij a few hours
after tho news was 11 Ashed over the.
wires. This eoulu not have happened
in cither instance had not the public
boon misled.
It has been presumed that the agri
cultural department at Washington
was operated lu ttie Interest of the
farmers, when as a matter of fact,
these monthly reports are being uocd
s the oasts of tho rankoat klndul spec
ulation and against the interest of the
producers. Straogo to say the market
uas rallied Immediately after these
Hidden drops caused hy ? bearish '' bU
reau reports, which prove-conclusively
thai tho public places little reliance on
.ho correctness of such lnfonuatiou.
Tue producers are not to bo caught so
oaslly and the mills will soon real z i
that In order to lay In their tuippiios
they must come into tho spot market
fairly and pay the true value of the
staple.
The fact that this season's crop is
short is too well knowi. for holders lo
De deceived, and If the -ouree from
which the government secures its in
formation is no longer reliable a change
had better oe mude in the methods cm
ployed. If It were possible that the
yield should amount this season to
10,000,000 bales the supply would still
mil short of demand for consumption
1 U0U OUU bales, and high prices siioulu
still eo itinue to prevail.
The European and Eastern mills mu-t
have cotton. They can no longer pui?
sue a temporary policy, and if ine pro
ducers continue to stand linn they will
receive tho prices they are demanding,
The fact Is more apparent now than
ever that the cotton producers of tho
South must perfect sou e system i y
wnich concert and reliable information
about the crop can bo placed in tiicir
hands. They must come together and
perfect a method based upon sound
business principles, which will guard
and protect their interest from tho
merciless Impos ton of the speculator
The experience of this season will
have a powerful Influence upon the fu
ture. The prloe ol spot cotton for tho
balance of tnis season Is absolutely in
ihe hands of tho producers, and tin y
should not be lollucncod to saorlllco
t he;r holdings upon a "bearish" market
and thus play into the hands of the
foreign spinners.
Let ih "future" market continue to
fluctuate, but force the buyers in the
"spot" market to pay not k-88 than 10
cents per pound for your Rtaplo,
Uakvik Jokdan,
President interstate Uottou UruWors'
I'roteclivo Association.
uok's Good Advice.?El ward W.
Bok, euitor ol thf Ltuies' blome Jour
nal, has published a book entitled
'?The Young Man in Business." It is
a small volume of thirty page.-, but
contains much worth considering, lu
condenses inV) the di/.en lines follow
ing thu BUbstance of his advice :
Get inio a business you like.
IJ evoto yourself to it.
lie honest In everything.
Bd cautious. Think carefully about
a thing before you act.
S'oep eight hours every night.
Do everything that means keeping
In good health.
Don't worry. Worry kills more men
than work does.
Avoid liquors of all kinds.
If you must smok >,sm< ko modi rately.
Shun discussion on two points?re
ligion and politics.
Marry a good woman and have your
own homo.
Look at your tongue.
Is it coated ?
Then you have a bad
taste in your mouth every
morning. Your appetite
is poor, and food dis
tresses you. You have
frequent headaches and
are often dizzy. Your
Stomach is weak nnd
your bowels are always
constipated.
There's an old and re
liable cure:
1
Don't take a cathartic
dose and then stop. Bet
ter take a laxative dose
each night, just enough to
cause one good free move
ment the day following*
You feel better the
very next day. Your
appetite returns, your
dyspepsia is cured, your
headaches pass away,
your tongue clears up,
your liver acts well, and
your bowels no longer
give you trouble.
