eatables, there was also the argument
to fall back on that the stuff belonged
jSk'to the imemv, and was subject to con
iiscation anyway.
In the early part of 1862, a young
fellow named Berry was sent to the
Tenth New York. He was a mere boy,
and had never been away from the
farm on which he was raised. He was
literally green, and would havf* no
more thought of taking anything that
did not belong to him, than approach
ing one of Uncle Sam's gunboats. But
the Tenth was a good school in which
to forget such youthful teucliings as
led to the neglect of one's stomaoli,
and it was not long before Berry was
as active in foraging as the oldest vet
erans in the regiment. The regiment
then lav near Mechnnicsville, and
|ji back of this positiou, toward the Rap
pahannock was a section literally flow
in milk and honey. The picket duty
of the Tenth was frequently per
formed on this front, and it was sel
dom that the pickets failed to make a
j|': bold foray into the enemy's country
and return with the good things of
earth. Berry soon became one of the
boldest foragers, because, being anew
recruit, he was not impressed with the
danger of penetrating into a section
1' which swarmed witli the enemy's
scouts.- General Warren, who com
& manded his brigade, was not hide
8: bound iu his ideas of military moral
|g ity, and yet was frequently compelled
|fcto check t.he glowing tendencies of
his command to forage on their own
aj behalf and finally gave it out cold that
the next time he received a complaint
j|in regard to the Tenth he would make
San example of the culprit. A day or
Ktwo afterward Warren was ordered to
Tftake the Tenth and reconnoitre the.
Jcouutry lying between his position and
p'the Rappahannock. Before starting
Jf'he issued orders that there should be
Ss^o foraging or leaving the ranks for
»|»ny purpose whatever. The men were
pup a stump. Fowl, lamb and stickling
ijijjiigs were seen, in quantities along the
Ifbute, but the commander placed a
iiard on every farm house, and
jratclied so closely that during the day
(here was not a single opportunity to
Replenish the larder with luxuries.
Bpward evening,1' however, when the
ggiment was on the return, the vigi
fmce was somewhat relaxed, and as
]je column passed a well-stocked barn
ird Berry was missing. When the
lament reached the picket line War
& halted and allowed the regiment to
closely inspecting each man to
if his haversack was suspiciously
11. When Berry came up, a side of
Scon depended from his bayonet, two
gickens had their heads stuck out of
Be corners of his haversack, and in
me hand was a two gallon jug. "Step
Kt of the ranks, yonng man," said the
(general, "and come up to my head
jiarters." The boys sympathized with
Jbeir comrade, but not a word was
aid and Berry plodded on, ruefully
....Jfewailing the probable loss of his
^Blunder.
pAt headquarters the general halted,
ind, without dismounting, commenced
Staestioning the culprit, enlarging on
Tie .punishment due to such diso
e^ience of orders. Berry didn't say
Jword—he had nothing to say, and
fhat would have been the result of
Jpje conference he doesn't know to this

Jiere was a suspicious disturbance in

poster gave utterance to a vigorous
Jrow. Officers and men. standing

Heroes Every One.
\HERE are two "in
I
stances of noble
^-courage, the read
O^fing of which sJiould
stir the blood of ev
iery American. One
occurred at Freder
icksburg, on the day
when half the bri
gades of Meugher
and Caldwell lay on
ie bloody slope leading up to the Oon
iderate entrenchments.
Among the assaulting regiments was
\e Fifth New Hampshire, and it lost
16 out of 300 men who made the
large. The survivors fell back be
a fence within easy reach of the
ipnfederate rifle pits. Jnst before
reaching it the last of the color guard
was shot, and the flag fell in the open.
A captain, Perry, instantly ran out
to rescue it, and as he reached it was
shot through the heart another cap
tain, Murray, made the same attempt
and was also killed, and so was a third,'
Moore. Several private soldiers met
the same fate. They were killed close
to the flag, and their dead bodies fell
across one another.
Taking advantage of this breast
work, Lieut. Nettleton crawled from
behind the fence to the colors, seized
them, and bore back the blood-won
trophy.
The other incident took place at
Gaines' Mill, where Gregg's First
South Carolina Regiment bore the
brunt of an assault upon a certain
strong position. Moving forward at a
run, the South Carolinans wore swept
by a fierce and searching fire.
Young James Taylor, a lad of six
teen, was carrying the flag, and was
killed after being shot down three
times, twice rising and struggling on
ward with the colors. The third time
he fell the flag was seized by George
Cotchett, and when lie in turn fell, by
Shubrick Hayne. Hayne was also
struck down almost immediately, and
a fourth lad—for none of these men
were over twenty years old—grasped
the colors and fell mortally wounded
across the body of his friend.
The fifth, Gadsden Holmes, was
pierced with no less than seven balls.
The sixth man, Dominick Spellman,
more fortunate, but not less brave,
bore the flag throughout the rest of
the battle.—Rocky Mountain Herald.
Unbroken Friendships.
1LPATRICK was
not only a brave of
fleer, but he was also
"^something of a wag,
R\ 'always fond of a joke.
When he broke
through our lines on
If the Rappahannock,
on his way to Rich
mond, he halted for
a few minutes to feed
and take lunch. He called up one of
tho farmers who lived on the" road, a
lame man, and said to him: "You tell
Young I hear he has a little brigade
hid over there in the bushes. I haven't
got time to bother with him now, but
I'll pay my respects to him as I re
turn."
The man told me. and grinned as he
said: "Gineral, he's got enough folks
with him to eat you up.. It -took 'em
all night to pass my house." Well,
poor Ktl, as we used to call him, was
very glad to get back himself, with his
command all torn to pieces, without
having time to pay his resj)ects to
"Young." He was an excellent soldier
and an able man.
It gives me pleasure to know that no
imkind or ungraceful act was per
formed during the war by any of the
officers of either army, one to another,
who served at the academy at the same
time I did. On the contrary, every
thing was courteous when they held
any intercourse officially, and* even
kind when it was possible.
I well remember an instance of this
at Savannah, when it became certain
that the Confederate forces were to
withdraw and that the city would be
entirely in the hands of Sherman's
army in a few hours. A lady requested
me to give her tiomo letters to officers
in the United States Army, with whom
I had been acquainted before the war.
I gave her two, one to Col. Audenried,
on Gen. Sherman's staff, who was one
cf my classmates, and one to Gen. Kil
patiick, who was in comm'and of all
the cavalry of Sherman's army, whom
I had known at West Point.
When the letters were delivered both
of these officers called upon the lady,
placing a young officer in the house
for protection, and did what they could
for her comfort, for whicli I shall jtl
ways revere their memory.—Gen.
Young in the Atlanta Constitution.
A Cute Yankee Trick.
Quite a good "Yankee trick" Avas
played upon about thirty young seces
sionist aspirants in this manner: They
were anxious to ^pirit their way to
Dixie, and agreed with a Yankee cap
tain, owner of a schooner, to land them
in Virginia for $150. This he agreed
to, providing they should fork over
the sum in advance. They agreed and
did so. A given night approached
when the sly craft was in waiting
over the river some miles above Balti
more The aspiring Dixieites arrived
in due time, went on board in jovial
spirits, sails were spread and,off went
the schooner to plow her way through
the briny deep, while those who had
taken passage exclaimed: "Nor care
what land thou bear'st us to so not
again to ours."
The night was long and dark and
dreary, but while the stars were yet
peeping the Yankee captain landed ut
a point on the Marlyland shore, told
his passengers to make tho best
of their way toward Richmond,
when he pushed off and was soon out
of sight. Morning broke, but only to
reveal the sad consciousness that they
were still on Maryland soil, minus
their money, and these recruits for Jeff
Davis and Beauregard were uever
no nearer Richmond than when they
started. Every day or two one or more
of (these cheerless wanderers will come
back to his home in Baltimore in an
awfully dilapidated condition.
Whether or not our Yankee salt will
succeed in getting another such cargo
is problematic.—Mrs. D. B. Wirt's

WINTER DIET.
A Few Hints by Wh'eh Go id Health Ma?
Be Attained.
Few people seem to give any
thought to the appropriateness of
food to the season of the year, says
the New York Ledger. With the
coming cold weather many people re
main a great deal indoors, occupying
rooms which are often kept at a high
temperature and with, of course,
very much less fresh air than they
are accustomed to during warm
weather. This has a tendency to
create a feverish condition of the
system that should be counteracted
by a free indulgence in fruits of all
available sorts.
For such purposes there is nothing
better than good apples eaten raw.
If children were permitted to eat all
the fresh apples they craved through
out the winter there would be fewer
diseases and deaths while for adults,
those who are of fairly quiet' habits
and who remain indoors a great deal*
there is nothing in the whole range
of food products as useful.
It is claimed that severe cases of
gout and other rheumatic difficulties
may be entirely cured by the free use
of apples. In the absence of apples,
raw potatoes, eaten with a little salt,
are a most excellent corrective of bad
humors. An eminent lawyer of this
country claims to owe his ,excellent
health largely to the habit of eating
raw potatoes with salt. Whenever
lie feels feverish or out of condition
this is his medicine, and for years he
has taken no other.
Oranges, lemons, grape fruit, pine
apples in their season, and all .acid
fruits, are valuable for people of sed
entary habits. Almost all persons
might improve their health if they
would but give a little attention to
some of the most 6imple of nature's
laws, and when this boon is so cheap
ly purchased the wonder is that it is
so much neglected.

The Santa Po Failure.
Such an event as the failure of the
Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe
Railway Company, occurring in for
mer times would have precipitated a
panic in the midst of prosperity, or
would have increased vastly the ter
rors of ap existing panic. The fail
ure of Jay Cooke and the half-flnish
ed Northern Pacific Pailway in 1873
created the panic of that year. The
interests involved in that catastro
phe were not one-tenth as extensive
or important as those of the Santa
Fe. Yet this occurrence did not
affect the money or stock market to
the extent of one-half of one per
cent, on the total volume of business.
The loss on securities fell so lightly
and were so widely distributed that
the result amounted to but little
more than a ripple along the shores
of the business world.
The disaster to the Santa Fe is the
result of nothing but misdirected en
terprise and errors in management.
In 1881 the stock of the Santa Fe
sold at 154J. From 1886 to 1888 the
stock was but a point or two below
par. The plan of extension then be
gan. The line to Chicago was built
and the immense terminal property
on State street was acquired.
The Chicago extension never paid,
but caused loss of business to the
main line. The business of the main
line, which had been divided at the
Missouri River among several roads,
kept them all in a friendly spirit and
the Santa Fe received their com
bined transcontinental traffic. When
it built a rival line to Chicago it lost
all the Chicago and eastern traffic of
other lines. Practically the same
result followed the acquisition of all
its extensions and subsidiary lines.
Each step of enterprise excited the
hostility or rival lines whose terri
tory was invaded. The main line
lost traffic and the branches did not
do a self-supporting business. Every
attempt to conquer other worlds im
paired the value of its own world as
a source of profit.
In the bankruptcy of such great
roads as the Northern Pacific, the
Union Pacific, the Erie, the Santa Fe
and other systems profound, lessons
are to be learned in the science of
railroad management, and especially
in the morals of railroad financier
ing. With good business principles
and honesty as a basis of manage
ment every one of these railroads
should be solvent and paying good
dividends on its stock.

'Gatoretl Mules." ,*'.r'
The Washington News says that a
"'gatored mule" is, according to Flor
ida dialect, a mule that has been
driven partially insane by "an alli
gator. There are hundreds of such
demented mules in Florida, and it is
a fact that they are never the same
after a genuine flight of this sort.
I helped to 'gator one myself,
writes a traveler. I had been stay
ing at Ocala, and finally agreed with
several friends to go hunting in the
south. Some distance from town we
located upon a small stream abound
ing in game. After pitching camp,
I went, for a walk, and before long I
found a 'gator hole. From the strong,
musty odor issuing from it, I knew
the owner must be at home.
I decided to capture him, and
called my companions. Several times
we rammed a long pole into the bur
row. Finally we heard a snap like
the report of a gun, and the pole re
mained fast. The 'gator had seized
it. We tried vainly to pull him out.
Then some one suggested that we try
our camp mule. The mule was led
down to the hole, a chain fastened
to him and the pole, and the fright
ened animal was started.
There was a creaking of chain, a
roar, and an alligator fully seven fent
in length came out with a rush, as
the mule started on a wild run for
the road.
The saurian's teeth were sunken so
deeply In the pole that he could not
release himself, and away went mule,
pole and all. The alligator spun
round, hissing like a steam-engine:
but he held on, while the mule,
thinking himself pursued, snorted
and ran. We followed. Into the
main street of Ocala flew the mule
and his queer load. Completely ex
hausted, he was stopped by a party of
men near the postoffice.
The 'gator was dead. We skinned
and stuffed him. The mule recover
ed, but the sis ht of a swamp now
throws him into a perfect frenzy of
terror.
Leaks ID Drain Pipes.
Another piece of chemical knowl
edge worth noting is the action of
sulphide of hydrogen in the presence
of a lead salt If a piece of blotting
paper be soaked with a solution of
sugar of lead and be held near or
over a bottle of sulphide of hydrogen
the blotting paper will at once turn
dark-brown or black. That Is, a
chemical change takes place and the
sulphur or the sulphide of hydrogen
unites with the lead of the sugar of.
lead, and a sulphide of lead is the re
sult, which is black or dark-brown.
The practical application of this is
the detection of leaks in drain pipeis.
Almost all foul odnrs from cesspools
and drains contain the sulphide
of hydrogen. If a leak of these odors
is suspected or noticed, a piece of
blattlng paper soaked with a solution
of sugar of lead and held at the joints
of the pipes or where the odor is sus
pected will at once turn brown or
black if there is an escape of gas.
Often at summer resorts some of tho
bask rooms suggest an odor not too
pleasant, and a bad drain rr leaky
cesspool is suggested by a faint smell.
Apiece of blotting paper treated as
directed above and left to hang in,
the room will detect a slight amount
of this poisonous gas and prove con
clusively that the room is unfit, for
occupation.
(fust the Opposite.
An Irishman who was employed in
the iron works in a Western town

some employment where the laboi

by his friends.
He was not in the habit of dimin

for a pound of sugar, he added pinch

WORN ONLY AT CORONATIONS.
Coronets mid Their U.«o Among: the Nobil
ity of the British Empire.
English noblemen are the only ones
in Europe who ever wear coronets on
their heads, says Vogue, and the sole
occasion when they do so is at the
coronation of the sovereign. They
hold them in their hands through
the ceremony, and at the moment
when the Archbishop of Canterbury
places the crown upon the monarach's
head every peer and peeress present
dons his or her coronet. Inasmuch
as nearly half of the house of lords is
composed of peers created by Queen
Victoria, it is probable that none of
them has taken the trouble to pro
vide himself with the silver coronet,
lined with crim-on velvet, of his
rank, and were the Queen to die and
the Prince of Wales to ascend the
throne, there would doubtless be a
run on the court silversmiths for
baubles of this character. The
baron's coronet, worn by the poet,
Lord Byron, at the. coronation of
George IV., and which was man
ufactured for the occasion, is now in
this country and in the possession of
the proprietor of the Philadelphia
Ledger, who lias converted it into a
chafing dish for the humble vegetable
known as the potato, having removed
the velvet cap from the inside and
turned it upside down, so that the
four silver balls constitute the sup
port of the chafing fish.
... A VENERABLE PILE. S

The oldest house in New England,
if not in the United States, is the
Gov. Craddock mansion at Merlford,
Mass. It is generally known as the
"Old Fort" and is a unique specimen
of the architecture of the early set
t'ers. Though the old pile has sur

THE GOV. CRADDOCK HOME, MEDFORD. MASS.
There is a tradition that it was once
attacked by Indians, who drew off
with thinned ranks, finding it im
pregnable. The house was originally
built for defense, and long ago was
protected by a 'palisade. Its walls
were half a yard in thickness, iron
bars secured the arched windows at
the back and the entrance door was
strongly case:! in iron.

In a certain New England town'
some years ago there was a justice of
the peace who, through a terrible
accident, bad'lost both his legs. He
had an acute legal mind, a ready
tongue, and both kindness and gen
erosity enough to make him beloved
as well as respected.
Nothing incensed his fellow-towns
men more than any allusion to the
poor man's misfortune or a„sugges
tion that it incapacitated him in any
way for the position he filled. A
visitor from another town was loung
ing about the postoffice one morning
when the justice was wheeled past
by his faithful servant.
"Who's that feller?" lie asked,
curiously.
"That's Square Brown," replied
the citizen whom he had addressed,
"an' the smartest an' best jestice
anywheres round these parts he is, I
ken tell ye," he added, with a half
defiant tone.
"Well, I swanee," remarked the
stranger, "that's kind o' cur'ous,
seems's if. Jestice o' the peace with
out no legs!"
"Does it appear so,I want t' know,"
said the inhabitant of the place with
a glance of withering contempt at
the stranger. "I heerd you say you
was fr'm Hillville way, if I ain't mis
took?" he queried.
The stranger nodded.
"Well, now," said the native in a
reflective tone. "I Ivjerd some folks
remarkin' only a few r»ays back that
over in your township they'd got a
feller square that hadn't got no head!
Now that doos appear cur'ous to me
but o' course folks' tastes are alius
diffi'rent."
TnE people of the United States
haven't the slightest objection to
Admiral Mello blowing up all the
ships the Brazilian government may
purchase in this country after the
aforesaid ships get outside of Uncle
Sam's boundary waters. But if the
rebel admiral attempts to blow up
any such ships in United States
ports before they're delivered and
paid for, as is his alleged intention,
it will become the pleasurable duty
of our navy to go down to Rio and
"bust up" Mello and his bloomipg in
surrection. And that duty will be
very conscientiously and perfectly
performed, too.
IT is high time that the crank
problem was being dealt with in a
practical and determined manner.
The fact that one of these unfortu
nates may be irresponsible only makes
him the more dangerous and in
creases the necessity for placing him
under restraint. The death of such
men as Garfield and Carter Harrison,
the attempts that have been made
upon the lives of other great men of
the country and such threatenings
as the kidnaping of little Ruth
Cleveland, make more apparent the
imperative necessity of providing
some adequate means for the re
straint of this class of oitueus. ?,

that Chicago is unfit for telescopic

say, and hence it is decided that the
big telescope shall be set' up in the
