KANAUNEE HEIGHTS.
The Yankees halted in yonder glen,
A ragged column of rßgged nun!
Just whore tho brook leaps, babbling shrill,
Down froas the heights of KatiMUßee hill;
And camp lights gleamed.
Weary aud spent, forlorn aud sad.
Were soldier veteran and soldier lad.
Fainting with hunger and sore oppressed.
They flung themselves OS the ground to rest
Till daylight beamed.
Up and down the pickets trod.
Up and down the sweet green sod,
With watchful glances ever kept
toward Kunaunee heights where the British
slept
And dreamed of death.
Down and up, while lhe tired camp
Silent lay in the dusk aud damp.
Save now and then a dreamer smiled
And colled on mother or wile or child
With, haled breath.
Up and down through Kninuineo lawn, *
Up and down till the morning dawn,
Then swift sprang tbe sold lers, gaunt and gray,
To greet the sun and tho buttle fray
With souls of steel!
Souls of steel and muscles of might.
Strong are they who light for tbe right,
"For (iod, for home, for America!
Oheerl" cried the general; "Hurrah, hurrah!
The foo shall reel!"
And reel thoy did! In a crimson flood
Tbe broad sun bathed that night—in bloodl
The British staggered, for Soft's own hand
Took up tho sword of an outraged land
And sheathed it then.
Sheathed it in many a noble breast.
E'er Bunk tho sun down Ktmaunee s crest.
Though brave bo foemau and strong of limb.
What shall avuil when (iod copes with him?
Ye woll may ken.
And tho pale moon grew more pale and gray
That night as she gazod wliero the sleepon
lay;
The sleepers that slept so slrangely still
On tho crimson grass of Kanaunco hill—
And never stirred!
But down in the valley another camp
Lay a-tirowso iv tho dusk and damp;
And now and then a dreamer smiled. ~
And called on mother or wife or child.
The pa Ie moon heard.
—Beo Evelyn Phinuey iv Youth's Companion.
MARY'S SOLDIER.
"Speaking of court martial," said my
friend tho general, "1 recollect one
which terminated more pleasantly, and
yet it was a narrow squeak for tho poor
fellow."
"Tell me about it," 1 urged as the
man brought us our coffee ;md cigars.
"Do you know what 'In front of the
enemy' means in military parlance?" he
asked thoughtfully as he flecked away
the first ash.
"Why, I suppose in front of the en
emy means —in front of tho enemy."
"Sapient youth! In time of. actual
warfare all troops as soon as they have
been mustered into servico are in front
of the enemy."
"When they got there?"
"No; at once."
"Then a regiment raised here in New
York during tho rebellion, as soon as it
had been sworn in, was in front of the
enemy?"
"Precisely. And thereby a
tale."
"It gave carpet knights a chance for
pensions," 1 reflected, "but it must have
caused some cruel misunderstandings."
"Not at all. Tho articles of war
are explicit, and if there's one thing
drummed into a soldier's ears day iv
and day out it's the articles of war.
They are his creed."
"Yet how many of us enn repeat our
creed correctly? Can you?"
"You just ought to hear me! But to
my story. At one time during the lat
ter part of tho war 1 was stationed here
in New York, detailed as inspector gen
eral to raise a brigade, i had been suc
cessful, and my camp of instruction
contained fair material. It was a few
mites distant on foreign soil."
"What!"
"Yes, in Jersey. Ono afternoon, while
I was resting in my quarters after the
fatigues of a hot day, an orderly brought
me the unpleasant tidings that my
camp was in an uproar. The mien re
fused to obey orders, and open violence
impended."
"What was the reason?"
"There's no reason for disobedience in
tho service; yet 1 admit to you there
was an excuse. 1 had seen cause for
trouble for some time, and had striven
to avert it. Tho pay was in arrears
through some red tape delay. The men
were poor and their families were suf
fering."
"No wonder."
"There should be wonder," my friend
the general sternly interrupted. "These
men had sworn allegiance to the flag;
yet ere the words had fairly died away
were in open revolt. No wonder, in
deed! Well, 1 assure you I was in a
precious funk. Did you ever see a
mob? No? Then you have missed the
most awful unuiifestation of cruelty,
cowardice, brutality, diabolism which
the imagination can picture. I believe
that mobs become infected with mad
ness; otherwise 1 would believe that
man is a degenerate beast. Well, a mob
of soldiery is of all the worst. The
stricter the discipline the more uncon
trolled tho reaction. Besides, bloodshed
is an habituated idea. One shot, and the
devil drives. But I had to go."
"Of course you went. A man of your
acknowledged daring"
"Tut, tutl The bravest often fear the
most. They don't show it, though, and
I didn't. But it seemed the forlornest
of hopes. I dressed myself carefully in
full uniform. Why? Because an officer
who expects obedience must first com
mand respect. If he wishes his soldiers
to be orderly he must set the example,
for no men are more critical or imitative.
I hastened over the ferry and soon
reached the high board fence which en
circled the encampment. From within
came a confused rumble like the portent
of a storm. 1 approached the wicket.
It was locked. I peered through the
lattice. There was the sentry, sure
enough; but with what a difference!
His musket leaned against a post. He
sullenly slouched up and down, with
hands in pockets, in no ways heeding my
presence. I would like to have shot that
man, but I was bound and braced with
self control.
" 'Attention I' 1 commanded sharply.
The man stared, then straightened,
seized ms musKet, presented ana stood
as a soldier. 1 *
" 'Open that gate?
"He obeyed at once, and I passed
through and marched quickly forward.
All over tho field were knots of men
shouting, gesticulating, fiercely har
ranguing. Here and there were a few
officers arguing and pleading in vain.
The majority, however, sat dejected
XOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1892.
..u tiin their tents. It was a most dis
tressing sight for a true soldier.
"I approached the first group of about
tOO frenzied men. A captain was just
leaviug them, pursued by taunts and
jeers. He was an insignificant man,
with arepulsi ye face; naturally pompous
in bearing, but now thoroughly cowed.
Yet as be saw me he assamed a certain
uneasy bravado.
" 'CaptaJahJohnson, at your service,
sir,' he as he saluted.
" 'What OTfs this mean?' 1 asked.
" 'They are fiends incarnate, general!'
he exclaimed as he glanced over his
shoulder. 'They will murder us all
and ravage the town. Oh, what shall
you do?'
" 'I shall form the men.'
" 'Impossible. Why, that's just what
I've been trying, but'
" 'Silence, sir.'
"As I reached the mob I noticed one
face alone which expressed respect or
sympathy. All others bore a look of
malevolence. A young soldier, well set
up and scrupulously neat, seemed to be
attempting to dissuade his comrades
from some mad project. He was a fine
looking fellow with a long, light mus
tache and bright, blue eyes from which,
as I say, I caught a flash of admiration.
"I drew my sword and stood upright
and motionless before the men.
" 'Attention, men! Fall in!' I com
manded.
"There was a hesitation, a momen
tary huddling togother, aud then they
arrayed themselves.
"Present arms! Carry arms! Order
armsl Parade rest!' I ordered and they
obeyed.
"Behind mo stood a knot of wonder
ing officers.
" 'How do you dare?' I began. Then
arose a growl from the ranks. 'We
want cur rights. We'll get them too.
We demand, our pay. Wo won"t stand
such treatment. Our wives, our chil
dren are starving.'
" 'Silencol' I warned them. 'Not an
other weird. If you have grievances,
if you have complaints, send them
through the proper channel, and
they shall bo heard aud allayed, 1
promise you. Men, I'm ashamed of
you. While your comrades are iv the
field facing privation aud danger and
death for tho glory of that old flag
which you have only just sworn to de
fend, you, for a trifling delay which the
throes of our government should ex
cuse, dare to murmur and revolt. Out
upon such soldiers! Do you know what
you risk? Do you appreciate that 1
have but to stop tp that telegraph and
the regulars will surround you and
rake your camp with an enfilading fire?
Do you long to serve your country at
the Dry Tortugas? Have a care, or there
you shall be sent, weighted with the
contempt of all loyal men. Officers, to
your posts! There will be a review pres
ently.'
" 'Three cheers for the general!' shout
ed tho clear voice of the blue eyed re
cruit as 1 turned away, and they were
given with a will.
"So 1 went through that camp, speak
ing as 1 never had spoken, inwardly
overwrought with excitement, but out
wardly the cold, distant personification
of discipline. Within two hours I hail
that brigado formed in a hollow square,
and frouj its center 1 renewed my threats
and my promises. They were effective.
Reason returned to the men and with it
came shame. What had looked liko a
dangerous outbreak was quelled by
moral force.
"As I left the parade I met Captain
Johnson.
" 'By the way, captain,' I asked, 'who
is that bright looking young soldier of
yours who seemed to bo resisting the
madness of the men?' The captain
scowled quite unnecessarily.
" 'That's Thomas Browue,' he an
swered moodily. 'He doesn't amount to
much.'
"I'm certain you don't, I reflected as
I returned to tho city.
"A month passed by. Discipline had
dono its perfect work. The mob had be
come a well drilled brigade. The men
had received their arrears, and were
eager to wipe out disgrace and to achieve
renown in action. Tho order for then
advance was expected daily. I sat in
my quarters in the city, alone and idle,
for my duty had been fulfilled and I was
about to report at Washington. Tho
door opened and a tall, slender young
woman, neatly dressed, stood before me.
Her face was pallid; her large black eyes
shone intensely.
" 'Oh, sir,' she exclaimed, 'save my
soldier! He said that you might,' and
she sank in a chair by my side weeping
and moaning and wringing her fragile
hands in a manner most pitiable to be
hold.
" 'But, my dear madam,* I expostu
lated sternly, 'this won't do at all. If
you wish my aid you must be calm and
sensible. Tell me who you-are, who
your soldier is, and what you want.'
"My severity succeeded, as I intended
it should. She was a stout hearted little
thing, and she gulped down her sobs,
and in a moment sat upright and tran
quil.
" 'I beg your pardon,' she said gently,
and I felt like a brute. 'My name is
Mary Graeme, aud—and I'm engaged
to Thomas Browne. He's my soldier,
you know, and he's in the camp over in
New Jersey.'
"'Thomas BrowneT Oht I remem
bered. 'Yes, my dear,' I replied. 'A
fine looking young fellow, with bright
blue eyes, I think?'
" 'Oh, such bonny eyes, so tender, so
true I And they speak his nature, be
lieve me. I know him so well; we were
little children together. He has been
placed under arrest, sir, and is to be
tried before the court martial now in
session.'
" 'For what offense?
" 'Me was a sentty, sir, and was found
asleep on his post.'
"Phewt Here was a pretty mess in
deed for the young recruit.
" 'My dear child,' I responded gravely,
'this is a most serious matter. Asleep
on his post of duty in the face of the
enemyl Why, it may cost him his life!
And at the very time, too, when there
has been a revolt in the camp and the
court feels the necessity of a stern ex
ample.'
"I shook my head dubiously. "
"Here my friend the general paused to
light a cigar, and 1 sprang at once into
the breach.
"Hold on!" I exclaimed. "Do yon
mean to seriously claim that a sentry
might be executed for sleeping on his
post in a suburb of New York, 400 miles
away from any enemy?"
My friend the general nodded.
"I explained all that to you in the first
place." he replied. "Given those fact 3,
the court would find him guilty and the
articles of war prescribe death as the
penalty. Courts martial must render an
absolute, unqualified verdict of either
guilty or not guilty. Mitigating cir
cumstances can only bd considered in
review."
"1 don't think much of your courts
martial," I retorted hotly. "Nine old
grannies stiff with precedent and preju
dice, and a Pooh Bah of a judge advocato
setting up a theory in one breath and
upsetting it with another."
" "The old grannies' are men of honor,
mark you, and the judge advocate will
receive more credit for acquitting than
for convicting. Lord deliver mo from
your starved out juries and your ambi
tious prosecuting attorneys. But yon
civilians are all alike, sir; you can't
comprehend."
"Don't let my stupidity spoil your
story, general; I'm deeply interested."
"Let me see, whore was I? Oh! As I
spoke the poor child wavered like a ?aro,
pale lily in a storm. But she remem
bered my warning, though her eyes
streamed and her hands strained in their
grasp.
" 'Oh, sir, but he isn't guilty, the poor
boy. Think how tired be was. Up the
whole night; ordered on duty again the
moment he was relieved. It was inhu
man. No wonder he dozed without
knowing it.'
" 'But'
" 'Oh, sir, I know »what you would
saf: It couldn't be. But it was. The
orderly sergeant has always hated him.
On tho day before he had ordered Tom —
excuse me, sir, Thomas—when he wa3
off duty to clean the equipments of
another soldier, which Thomas refused
to do.'
" "He was perfectly right there.'
" 'So Thomas says. Besides he was
expecting to see me. But that night
when he camo off his post, oh, so tired,
tho sergeant ordered him right on again
to take tho place of the soldier whose
arms he wouldn't clean.'
" 'If this is so, no court will punish
him for falling asleep.'
" 'I'm so delighted. That's what
Thomas said he know you would say.
i r ou are so learned in tho regulations.
But he didn't mean to —oh, no indeed.
He's so ashamed, when he has been so
anxious to distinguish himself for me.'
And here a blush deepened through poor
Mary's cheeks.
" 'Ho shall have the chance, never
fear. But why didn't you go to his cap
tain? Does he know these facts?'
"Again Mary blushed and far less
transiently. Her fingers picked her dress
uneasily',
"'Captain Johnson,' she faltered. 'He
doesn't liko Tom; he—he—likes me.'
" 'Oh, ho!' Hero was a little drama.
1 recalled tho captain's repulsive face
and sullen ways and I recognized the
villain's part.
" 'Besides,' she continued, 'the order
ly is his brother-in-law.'
" 'And he tells a far different story, I
suspect.'
" 'Indeed, yes; thero is no hope for
Thomas from either of them.'
"•Well, my dear, save your tears fttid
keep a stout heart. I like your soldier
and I like you. I believo the story and
you shall have my aid. But be cautious
and secret. Tho court is now in session,
you say?'
"Yes, sir; all this week. But Thomas'
case was only reached this afternoon
just before adjournment.'
" 'Then I must act at once. Goodby
now; you may rely on me.' And with
a God bless you, which it seems as if 1
could feel oven now, the girl withdrew.
Yet with a sudden inspiration I called
after her, 'What is the name of the
soldier whose place Thomas took?'
" 'Joseph Brant.'
"Hero surely was a difficult situation.
Tho serge ant hostile, the captain vindic
tive—what hope gleamed for Mary"3
soldier? \"et 1 followed the inspiration.
Tho proof—if 1 only could get the proof!
It existed unless cunning had destroyed
it. Again I arrayed myself in full fig.
Again I hastened over the ferry to tho
camp. I sought tho sergeant's tent and
I found him within and aloue. 'Too
stupid to be provident,' was my mental
glance. 'Sergeant, your detail book at
once,' I commanded. The man stared
and gaped and then handed it to me
without a word.
"I went to a retired spot. I turned
the pages with trembling fingers. Ah,
fato had favored me. There was the
record for the night in question, and
among the reliefs I didn't find the name
of Thomas Browne, but I did find that
of Joseph Braut.
"Then I visited the judge advocate, a
friend of mine, a fine fellow, now a su
premo court judge of this 6tate. Put
that in your civil pipe and smoke it.
" 'What sort of a man is Captain John
son?' 1 asked.
"My friend shrugged his broad shoul
ders.
" 'Humph!' he replied. 'With all there
is back of him he ought to get the single
star in six months.'
" ' 'Fluence, hey?'
" 'Great. But, man to man now, why
do you ask?
" 'You needn't go any further, old
fellow, your scruples reveal more than
they conceal. But to change the sub
ject. I am going to put a hypothetical
case to you, and I want you to tell me
just how you would act regarding it.'
And I detailed the facts of Mary's sol
dier's troubles, using of course assumed
names.
"The judg»< advocate deliberated. 'A
difficult and delicate matter,' he said.
'The man is innocent, but he would be
condemned. The sentence would be
commuted on review; still his career
would be ruined. 1 think 1 should do
this: I should lay these insido facts con
fidentially before the president of the
court. Then, if he approved, at the
next session I should announce that the
main witness, the officer of the day, was
absent—and he would be too. Aud ia
view of the stress of other business, and
of the grave doubts as to the defendant's
culpability, I should ask that the case
be dismissed.'
" 'You would surely do this?
" 'Certainly. It would be the quick
est and most prudent way out of a nasty
rush.'
" 'Then listen, old follow.' And 1 ex
plained my parable to him. And here's
the proof, 1 said, in conclusion, and 1
showed him the sergeant's detail book.
" 'The villains!' he exclaimed. 'I'll
stick to my word, never fear. It's the
wisest course too. At this present crisis
the friends of that captain must not be
offended. His time may come. But
that sergeant should be punished in
some way.'
" 'Leave that to me. He shall lose
his chevrons, 1 promise you.'
" 'Very well. I'm off to see tho
president'
"The nest morning came. Tho court
convened. Mary, was present, anxious
yet hopeful, with her gar.o fixed on tho
erect, manly form of her soldier. So,
too, were the captain and the sergeant
in attendance, the former exultant, the
hitter secretly worried. But I looked
in vain for the officer of tho day.
"The jud;ro advocate was faithful to
his rehearsal and letter perfect in his
part.
" '1 do therefore suggest,' he said in
conclusion, 'that this charge against
Private Thomas Browne bo dismissed.'
" 'This seems a proper disposition,'
said the president. 'I think so,' said
each officer, from the junior to the
senior, and Thomas Browne left the
courtroom a free man, with the devoted
Mary cliriging to his arm.
"I caught Captain Johnson as he was
sneaking away with a white, scared
face. 'Captain,' I said, 'I learned tho
truth of this matter, and I am responsi
ble for this ending. You've had a lucky
escape. Now, mark my words. You
will reduce that orderly sergeant to the
ranks forthwith. He won't appeal to
the colonel, nor will the colonel question
the act.'
" 'I will do so, sir,' he murmured as
he huug his head and went to his quar
ters. I never saw him again, but after
the war, at Washington, I met Mary, a
happy bride, with her soldier, and on
his broad shoulders shone the insignia of
a major.
"So you see, said my friend the gen
eral as he tossed away his neglected ci
gar, "that even in the army there were
such refinements of your civil law as
withdrawing a juror and horseshedding
the court; but always done from an hon
orable motive, sir, an honorable mo
tive."—New York Times.
A Distinctly Novel Beverage.
A number of trials have been made of
a beverage particularly novel, which
might be termed "antade." A few hun
dred ants were crushed at a time iv a
mortar with a pestle, and the Liquid
from them after being strained was
mixed just like lemon juice, with water
and Sugar. The resulting beverage re
sembles lemonade so closely as to be
scarcely distinguishable from it.
The reason why is very easy to ex
plain. Finnic acid is the nearest ap
proach to Citric acid, which gives lemon
juice its flavor 1 known to the chemist.
In fact there is very little difference be
tween them.— Table,
