Neill, one peaceful evening, under the shady trees just beyond Chain Bridge, where we were bivouacking shortly after the second battle of Bull Run. "That is to say," observed a pert lieutenant, "your brains tell you that you that you are all the time urging you to run away." ''Yes, sir; yes, sir," said the gen eral sharply. "It has that effect upon nervously constituted people." The subject of artillery fighting was under discussion, and the late great artillery duel at Rappahan nock Station was being talked over, having been brought forward by the presence in our little party of Captain Jamison, of General McDowell's staff, who had been a participant in that noisy affair, and to whom General Neill appealed for a description of the affair of Au gust 20, 1862. "Well," said the captain, as he dug the point of his saber scabbard reflectively into the soft turf," "I can tell you something of my own experience and impression, because I was kept moving about too much to see any considerable results in our locality. "You see the battle of Cedar Mountain was just cger, and the results were anything but satis factory. There was no use in de nying the fact that General Pope had been again outgeneraled and outnumbered, and on the 18th of August we received definite"infor mation that the whole Confederate army-was advancing on us-in over whelming numbers, and we were ordered to fall back. Tents were struck -at 4 P. M., and then came one of those long waits which are so annoying to the soldier. For eight long, tedious hours the troops waited for the interminable wagon train to get out of the way. At last, about midnight we moved out into the road to march a quarter of a ~mile and halt an hour, then start and halt again. All night long the staff were busy riding about try ing to keep that endless train mov ing, so that I for one, at least, when morning came, was literally dis gusted, played out, and 'wanted to go home.' There was one prolong ed and unanimous howl at General Siegel's wagon train, eleven miles long, which was keeping us back, and which we knew was not at all retarding the movements of the alert enemy behind us. "Rain had fallen plentifully du ring the night, and the sun came out hotter and hotter as it mounted to the zenith. To aggravate the sit nation we were halting every few minutes. .Add to this that the men were suffering for water. With the coming of daylight the stafffound another nuisance. If the soldier couldn't march straight ahead he could straggle and forage, both of which he did with an unanimity of sentiment that was hugely-disgust ing to the tired staff, who had to spur exhausted horses back and forth with irate messages from the general to. the brigade and division commanders to know what they meant by deploying all their men as skirniishers. "I think this was the hardest day's -march I ever experienced, and night brought neither rest nor food. I was leaning against a tree, giving my horse rest in lieu of food, when Lieutenant Shepp, of Siegel's staff, rode up and said: "'Hallo; Cap, you look ausges pielt. Let's get lost and hunt something to eat. "'It's a go, my noble Roman. Lead on.' S"'Getting lost'~ in this sense sim ply means taking yourself off with out leave to seek creature comforts and lwhen you 'bob up serenely' again you explaiu. with all the cheek of a lightning-rod-agent that you 'got lost. Of coutse no one believes you, but as they have not the 'persons and papers' to prove your falsification you come off tri umphant. In this instance Sheep and I rode slowly more that a mile across the country before we found a house that promised anything to eat. When we did find one it was occupied by a half-dozen straggling Ohio soldiers, to whom a fellow feeling of hunger made us wondrous kind, and we helped them punish Confederate mutton until the great vacuum from which we suffered was filled. Our horses in the meantime had benefited by all the corn they could eat, and we returned to the head of the column about midnight feeling like lions refreshed, but having a wholesome hope that the general was. asleep This we found to be the case, and as tents were an unknown luxury I tied my horse to my wrist and laid down on a re tired mud-bank, where I was least in danger of being made a thorough fare of by atray man or mule. "I awoke with the break of day to see General McDowell standing a short distance away, evidently regarding me as an interesting specimen of the average aide, or namented with Virginia mud. "'As you have had your break fast, captain," he said, suavely, 'I wish you to take half-a-dozen caval rymen to help you, and ride on across the river at B appannock Station and see to the prompt re moval of all trains back out of sight from this side.' "If he had made ine a colonel on the spot he could not have pleased me better; not that I particularly admired the duty, but because I saw the hope of something to eat at the end of it.. "Rappahannock Station wr.s sim ply one wild, chaotic mass of men, horses and artillery, while a little further on were the rear wagon trains, the object of my solicitude. Nobody knew where anybody else was, and every one wanted to know something no one could tell him. "By judiciously suggesting to the division and brigade quarter master that the air was likely to be dark with a shell in about half an hour, I had the satisfacti6 of see ing the last wagon speedily dis appear-behi nd-theheheringwoods. "This waa destined to be a busy day. The enemy was hurrying up his troops, and by nightfall of the 30th the whole Confederate army filled the woods on the opposite side of the river. Our corps, that is ArcDowell's, faced them in the center at th2 station; Siegel's corps was on our right, and Banks and Reno on the left, the whole line.ex tending abc ut six miles. Batteries were posted on every available po sition, pickets lined each river bank, and both armies, grimly fac ing each other; were glad to spend the night in needed sleep and rest. The morning of the 21st did not have a chance to get aired before the enemy ope::ed on us with shot and shell, his hope being most like ly to dislodge our artillery, de moralize our infantry, and, by watching a fa: irable opportunity, push across the :iver under cover of his own fire. "The echo of' the first Confed erate gun had not died away before our own artillery opened in a miost vicious and heavy cannonade sweeping the opposite bank with a torrent of iron hail, to ci-oss which his infantry would find much more unhealthy thau the Rappahannock. "This was the first time I had been under an artillery fire, and I had an experience of the whizzing, shrieking, bursting shells, and the the hurtling richochetting round shot, which seemed to fill the air with a pandemonium that could presage nothing but sudden and ghastly annihilation. -'There sat the general on his horse, spying about with his field glass as . though he had a first-class box at the opera and was enjoying the performance immensely, while his staff; myself among the rest, stood around and tried to 'grin horridly a ghastly smile.' "'They're a little too high,' ob served the general critically, as the iron demons ho'wled over our heads, but in a moment added : "'Ah ! that's better, much bet ter,' as a round shot took our order ly's leg off and a shell scattered an aide's hors2 to the fou': winds of heaven, leaving the owner thanmkful that he was not on him. "All day long~ this racket went on at the station, assisted .by lighter ncannonading up and down the river, while along its banks the pickets and sharpshooters kept up a wary but persistent exchange of leaden compliments. "Occasionally I was sent with orders to this or that battery or brigade, and I consider it due to myself to say that I could not just ly be accus;d of fooling time away in the transit. Once when I got back to headquarters the general was delivering a kind of lecture on courage under circumstances sim ilar to these, and in suppoft of a point he had made remarked: "'I think- mt is Emerson who says: A great part of courage is the courage of having done the thing before.' "Then I 'spose if a fellow gets his head knocked off a few times he'll cease to take much discomfort to himself over the process,' gfiwled the-corps missionary, who had an abiding conviction that his beef cattle far in the rear needed his presence. Just then a 'three-inch round shot came over, and, striking a large, tough hickory stump bounded about fifty feet in the air, came down in the midst of a group of orderlies. The little party broke up with such suddenness as to pro voke a wild burst of laughter. which ceased suddenly as a Hotch kiss shell came right through the headquarter party with the yell of a full division of fiends and caused everybody, from general to cook to bow to it, with most profound re spect. "I noticed that down among the infantry supports very little in terest seemed taken in the affair. As soon as officers and men found that the enemy's shot and shell were all likely to go over or fall short, the social canteens passed among the former, while the latter soon had their attention absorbed in impromptu 'bluff' and 'sweat,' while up at the batteries the artill erymen worked away at their guns with as much coolness as though they were firing Fourth of July salutes, and envied them 'the cour age having done the thing before.' "The next day the entertain ment was renewed, and, to tell the truth, I found I was getting acus tomed to 'the gentle music of the pursuasive Hotchkiss shell.' I took heart of grace, and I suppose strolled around rather airily, for suddenly the general said : "'Captain Jamison, just ride over to that First Maine battery and tell them to depress their guns a little more; their shot are flying wild.' "All day we had marked the road to that battery as a particularly warm one, and the order conside rably cooled my exuberance. Away I went, however, through what seemed a hailstorm of lead upon the drum of my ear. I delivered my message in a tone that I deemed to have considerable backbone in it, and started back. Fifty yards away from the battery was a very "pedrettb; and I was nmkiig across this at full speed when I seemed to be suddenly spun through the air for an endless dis tance, and to see such a pyrotechnic displ: as all the Fourth of July's in the land never got up. Then I lost all interest in the proceedings. When I came to myself I was ly ing on a gum blanket at headquar ters. The staff was standing around me like a coroner's inquest, while the surgeon was pawing me over as though he was inspecting a Thanksgiving turkey, remarking carelessly : "Oh ! he'll come around all right directly. There's not a hole or a break about him.' "'I'm' glad of it,' said the gen -eral, 'for he is a brave fellow.' "'Ah, general,' I thought,- hazily, to myself, 'you don't know as much about that as I do.' "Thus the second day passed, and- the third was but a repetition of the other two, with the addition ot a gallant charge by a brigade which was scattered by our artillery. In the midst of the artillery tournament a Confederate regiment charged valiantly up th~e hill close to the bridge, and, undaunted -by the heavy artillery fire, rushed into and captured one of the redoubts on the other side of the river-but it was empty. Then their batteries howled a parting benison and they ceased firing, and the three days'com paratively harmless artillery duel at Rappahannock Station was over. I had all I wanted of 'the courage of having done the thing before.' " THE PHILOSOPHY OF .IT.-"I oO hate to have a htisband1 who 'lowan ces me every time I Want to buy anything," said Mrs. Slimms. "When I tell Slimms that I want a little change to go shoppi'ng with he don't hem and haw as some men do. He just takes out his pocket book and says, 'certainly, my dear ; how nmuch do you -want, a five or a tent'" " "And what did you say ?" asked Mrs. Smith. "Oh, I never say anything. He gives the money right off without waiting for me to answer." "And how much does he give you?'' "A dollar gener-ally-unless he has somo change handy. But it isn't the amount that I care so much about. It is the readiness with which he responds to my re quest that makes me think so much of him."

A young u spent an evening with his girl, d during the evening, while the fam ily was present in the parlor, he was demure and bland and child like as could be wished. The mother came into the room after the family had retired to. get a handkerchief she had left, and the young man was seated in a chair in the middle of the room, while the girl was seated on a sofa, and noth ing that the mother could see in the actions of either led her to think they were more than passing acquaintances. It seemed to her as though the young people had met before, but there was no evi dence that they.were very well ac quainted. At night, after he had gone, the girl complained of a pain in her side, and in the morning a doctor was called, and he found that two of the girl's ribs were broken. How it was done nobody knew. The girl could not tell for the life of her, though she blushed when asked about it, and the moth er looked very wise as she looked at the doctor. The doctor made some inquiries, set the ribs and went away, and the girl pro cecded to recover. That evening the young man called and was astonished when in formed of the extent of the girl's injuries, and wondered how it could have happened, though the mother watched his face close as he spoke and detected not only a blush but a profuse perspiration on his face. She had been a girl once herself, and though she had never had any ribs broken she had been hugged some. It was a trying position for all of them. The father was away on a trip to Wisconsin, and when he came home the matter had to be explained to him. He was told that the ribs just simply broke themselves, and neither the mother nor the girl nor the young man could account for it, and yet all three of them blushed terribly. The father patted his girl on the head, told her she wonld be better when she got over-it, and then called the young man into the library. The young.. man- was o-weak he cold hardly walk, and when he sat down he took out a handkerchief and mopped his brow and wished he was dead.' The father looked the young man over and was sorry. He finally said: "Young man, I guess I can give you some points on hugging. You must first learn that a girl is not constructed on the same principle of an iron fence or a truss bridge. A girl is a delicate piece of me chanism, like a fine watch, full of little springs, wheels, jewels, &c. The breaking of any one of these would cause her to cease keeping time and necessitate her being takeun to a jeweler for repairs. In hugging a girl you don't want to go at it as if you were raking and binding or catchiug sturgeon. I know that where the family sits up late with a young couple and spoils several precious hours of hugging, that unless the young man has a good head when left alone with the object of his affection, that he is liable to overdo the matter and try to make up for lost time. He seems to want. to hug up a lot ahead and grabs the girl as though he wanted to break her in two. This is wrong. You should go at it calmly and deliberately, even prayerfully, and be as gentle as though she was an ivory fan. The gentle pressure of the hand that a girl loves, even the touch, is as dear to her as though you run her through a stone crushcr. You should not grab her as you would a bag of oats and leave marks on her that will last a lifetime. A loving wo man should not be made to feel that her life is in danger unless she wears a corset made of boiler iron. I hope this will be a lesson to you, and hereafter, if you cannot con trol your feelings, I will provide a wooden Indian for you to practice on at first, until you have developed your muscle and got tired, and then we can turn our daughter loose in a room with you and not feel that it is necessary to keep a surgeon handy- In allowing you to keep company with my daughter I do not agree to provide you with a human gymnasium, dressed in a Mother Hubbard wrapper and wearing bangs. You can readily see that a girl would not last a season through if she had to have ribs set once a week. Please think this thing over, and if the girl is well enough next Sunday you can drop in and try some more ribs. Now, you go home and hug a hat rack for an hour or two and .have it repaired in the morning." The young man went out into the night air, took his, hat off to cool his head and hired a man to kick him.-Milwaukee Sui.

JUMPING TINE TRACK.' ""Whenever a man is killed in a run-off,"'' said a veteran trainman to a reporter, "a great many people who imagine that they are wiser than they really are, want.*to know why he did not save his life by jumping. The fact of the matter is that no one on a train has a chance to jump, except the engineer and the fireman, for the reason that they are the only persons who can see the danger ahead. Whenever an accident occurs, it occurs so quick ly that a passenger or trainman has no time to do anything but trust to luck to pull him through. I have figured in a great many accidents during my career as a railroad man, and I have arrived at the conclu sion that the best thing for any per son' to do when a train jumps the track or goes down an embankment, is to hold on like grim death to the first object they lay their hands on. You would be surprised to know how strong is the desire of many trainmen to jump whenever the wheels leave the rails, but the sudden jolting and bouncing whiob they receive so dazes them that it is impossible for them to jump. I was in a run-off one day and was considerably amused when the whole train was safely brought to a stand-still, to see a long, lanky fellow bound from the door of a baggage ca- down a bank ten feet high. He firmly believes to this day that he would have been killed if he had not jumped when he did. Hundreds of trainmen have done the same thing. They get so frightened that they will make per ilous leaps when the train is per fectly still and all danger is past. "In a run-off the baggage master has the most dangerous position, as the heavy trunks and the train chest. loaded with links and chains, are liable to fall on him and crush him to death. Many a good fellow has shared this fate. "No man in a railroad accident can tell how he is coming out until the danger is over, and escapes from death often appear miracu lous, The nearest call-I ever had in my life was in the early days-of my railroadi career. At tflTwas a eman on a, train, and one night while we were galloping along at the rate of twelve or fifteen miles an hour, the on car top of lrhich I was standing, together with six others, left the track and went down a bank thirty feet high. I heard a crash and the splitting of tiiber, and felt myself tumbling down through the dark ness, and that is about all I could ever tell of the accident, except that. after I had got back some of the mind which had been knocked out of me I found myself lying on the ground beside the cars, which were 'in a pile and .smashed to pieces. I escaped without a bruise." T HE T RA MP8' MISTAKEE. They were two tramps, and they were crossing a cornfield in Flat bosh in search of watermelons. The farmer's searecrow had fallenl up against the fence. They armed themselves with des icated tomatoes and began pelting the figure. Then they began to make beta of a million dollars as to which could plunk it in the back or knock its hat of.~ As the sport grew exciting they approached nearer and nearer, and were soon firing young pumpkins at the noxzdescript. "See where that last tomato fetched him'in the head !" said one. ~''et you can't come within a mile of that shot 1" "Bet you a thousand dollars.' "Done." "I'll do better than that. Bet I hit him before you do !" "Done !" And then to get the bulge on each other they both started on a dead run toward the object. To make assurance doubly sure, they ran to within a couple of feel of it and then halted to take aim. And then, as one went over the fence and the other landed'in a near by ditch, the scarecrow picked up a hoe and, as it started in on another ro~w, it recited the follow ing paragraph : "I've been layin' fur you fellers fur some time. I seed ye comin' an' leaned over the fence ter give ye a chance at that watermelon patch. Ther next timre ye come around this way drop in an' take a bite-ov the bulldog." And the tramps made believe they were dead, and didn't even dare to laugh at the farmer's back, which looked as if he'd been shot with a tomato field [New York World.
