hence was born the poetic name given to
this river and Its iicuutlfu'l valley.
Hti\* the Southern soldier loved the tieni

landscape, Its Holds of red clover unti
golden wheat, its bending orchards. - Its j
eool springs. It.s crystal streams, its genial, |
hospitable people, and, last', but noi least,'--'
ho loved its rosy-cheeked hrljilil-eyed gli-Is.
And, when that cruel war was over,
many a l'air flower was transplanted from
Virginia soil to bloom ?mild tli?; mrytlo

Gradually the.?homy forced olir skirmish
Hue back on the luala body. About two
ifijlcs from It liurly decided to make a
(?land, (ils centre" .resting on Hi? Berry
vlllo pike. The gallant Gordon was In
comninntl of Jackson!? old division and
held the right of tho. pike. I think Gen?
erals Khoadcs and Hohen l.llley held the
kit nf our. lin??. _ By !> ?. M. tlic battle
was raging along the whole line. Tho
heavy blue linen wero repulsed* time ami
naralii. N'ovcr before,. in Ule history of
the war, dltl our boys light with sucfl
coinage and desperation, They knew
what was al stake, even the hospitable
town, and the dear old valley Itself. By
gradually flanking our right the enemy
begaii forcing our lino bacie. Rhodes had
fallen, ?ml Lllley was left badly wounded
on the Mold. Hut our men, like, lions at
bay, came back stubbornly, At Menglh
tho Federal lino halted, deeming It wise
to measure well the ground lit front before
venturing too i'ar. Jinbodrn's cavalry
covered our loft (wing on the valley 'pille.
About. 3 P. Al. ?i- hoard a great shout
from that point, and climbing an eminence
1 saw the chat-go of Sheridan's troopers.
It was a splendici sight. In a front line
of half ? mile they swept on, their sabres
Hashing In the .sunlight, and their line
liorsos clearing' the stone fences in then
way. 1 heard a captured trooper pay
that, whiskey ljad been Issued to them to
make, them fearless". ?' Imbodon's cavalry
did not wait _to clasli sw?rds Jvlth their
cousins in blue,--hut made a gallant charge
to tlio rear. It reminded jno of- the
charge of the. Alnmclukcs at the battle
of the Pyramids,' When' some at ' thoisc
splendid Arabian stoeds leaped dyer the
wall of bayonets Into the hollow square
nf the French Army. The troopers were
checked only by. the forts- guarding the
approach of the town. Some uveg dashed
by':them and rode into the very streets.
Our wounded, who were gotten off the
Held were tenderly cared fori by. tho. ol ti -
zens of Winchester. As our buftle
stuincd. smoko-bogrlmrd soldiers marched
through the town, women wept,, mid old
men bowed their heads 111 sorrpw.... That
evening as the sun woufdown 1'Stood rill
the hill, north of town, ami looking to tlio
oast I stiw the. Federal line spnio two
miles long moving slowly forward as .'If
to encircle in Its ftjlds. the. doomed,' town?.
To the west 1 could see our ;, flags
drooping iir retreat, and hear the rumb?
ling of trains and artillery on tliQ;slony
pike. With a sad heart and weary step,
nut tiering to myself: "Farewell de'nr old
Winchester" ! "Good-bye sweet Bonu'e
Elolse" ! I joined the retreating, but
still della nt army.
Mrs. General Gordon was In AVItlchestcr
at this time. About: noon, When battle
was at its height, and.they were,pressing
our centre buck, she heard that the ^Gen?
eral liad boon killed. Accompanied by a
young soldier, and on font, she started
down the Kerry ville pike to linci, her
husband. The rbntl was" crowded.iwlth
wounded and straggler? hastening to tlio
town. A battery.of the enemy .JYas throw?
ing' shells along tho road, .bursting nnd
scattering destruction on every side. I
saw her myself, in the face Of all. this,
walking righi on calmly ami courageously
facing death for the sake ot one she? so
loved! To me it was thu sublinVist cx\
hlbltlon of female oouragn'-aiul devotion
that 1 had ever heard'ou*read of.: Just
then one of the Genen?'s staff dashing
along saw 'her and told her it";\v(is-Geiioral
ltboades who was killed and that Gen?
eral Gordon was safe/' pausing for a
moment, her. lips mov(u???ta??? ili?i'rjiy?iv
slu? turned, and with"-th? 'same steady
slop, came hack to the town. Around
her men were running arid dodging,1 pa|n
ami iremblhtg vj-itl? fear,;., yriblc woman,
to. have passed so bravely through, such
an in-deal, and what ?:? lesson she 'taught
Unisti mem ' '
Tho old Valley 'suffered' much and long
(luring the war. She was? the battle
ground for the eoiitoliiling.armles.' Her
rich lands helped to fei'il'tlie ?onfodcj-ates
and her splendid bains were stnrehovisos
tu supply forage.
"Sheridan, acting under 'Grant's, order,
determined t?'n>-solalo this fair section,
so lliiil. in the language of the instruc?
tions, "a crow could not fly from one end
to tho other without carrying his
rations." And right well dici ho carry
out a rant's order. Several hundred of
those new burns were burned with all they
contained. On three ronds Ilio barn?
burners .went, and, by. day. Ibe smoke,
llko a funeral pull hung overhead, and by
night, thu lurid flames III -tip the wliolo
country. And these fiends were mor
eetmry In their hellish work. IHvltling
Into two parties, one would go before
ami ask the owner "what Would he givo
them not to burn bis barn, f'ntspliig at
u straw, and not thinking of treachery,
In- would bring forili hidden treasure of
gold ami silver/and sometimes as high
as im\ m save'Ills properly, This party
having bled the owner galloped on and
tlillin clime parly number two, They
applied the match, and rodo un lo share
Ihn Ill-gotten gains.
When 'the tiros of Cluitnhersluirg palm?
ed tlio slty rcil, then wore the barns of
the Slit'iiainloab avenged.

SPAIN AS IT
IS TO-DAY
BY EUGENIO MONTERO R?OS,
President of Spanish Senate,
? .????
ACC1EPT With? pleasure nnd am
extremely, honored -toy the In?
vitation .which; the editor has
given nil',,.'. 1 take advantage
__^_^ of" it with gratitude.' ' Inas?
much as It affords mo the
opportunity of giving expression? to ideas
which are favorable,, to, my country .and
at thosamo time arc?, .founded, on .truth
and justice before the, American pnbllc.
which seriously,occupies Itself with Ques?
tions, of high political importance,- and,
of international Mntoffcst, ?:. -...' -' ? .-,
?? ?v general rule, ? 'distinct Idea Is
entertained in '. foreign countries of. what
Spain Is, thinks, and-desires ?and Amor-,
Inn Js by no menus free''from''the mis?
taken and. .injurious 'nolloiis'of my coun?
try which aro almost-universally current
This may, perhaps,'arise-from the fact
that the studies of tlio great writers arc
confined to tho centuries- when the in?
quisition and Intolerance'were the scourge
nf the kingdoms of the ponlsulaor aro
limited to the more recent period Of
internal discord.? The notion which the
generality of Americans' has conceived
of us represents us us.a-people crystal?
li'-cd by the Influence of a haughty.theo?
cracy, or as a survival ot medieval timos
and habits.
Even as regards our dress and our
manners the same falso notions prevail.
The typlcnl Spaniard, as .shown in ilWs
trated papers-, and engravings, is the
AndaluHlan singer or dancer, the smuggler
of pictorial art, the swaggering dandy,
and tho gypsy tatterdemalion; types
which arc as foreign to tho general life of
the nation na they would be In America,
and. which are to bo found In Spain
only In the booths nt fairs, on the stage
of music . halls, at halls, at carnival
timo, and in shows of like nature.
Undoubtedly, literary men nnd politicians
who avo capable of Judging us correctly
do exist, but the immense majority lie
Heves or imagines that even to-day the
shadow of Torquemada. and Philip II. Is
overalls all. and knows nothing of Hie
rebirth of .Spain to a life of progr?s, of
the splendor of our universities, of tho
works of our glorious master of science
and art, of our century long struggle for
liberty,, o.rjof tho triumph of that; pacific
democracy which ?gives Its: character to
oi'r Institutions, and our Jurisprudence.
Possibly It' I? .owing to this spirit of for
gotfubiesK and"to/ a'failure to understand
our atiltiuln us"regards International re?
lation?, thju'we havp.to deplore a Con?
stant predisposition oh tho part of Ameri?
can public*opinion,to Indifference and to
dislike. I? shall'consider myself fortunate
if by a slfnplci exposition of the truth 1
can. lay these ghouls and causo, these mis?
conceptions ?? '?a?????.
We havo no heed to. Indulgo in empty
self glorificatimi, Since the time of our
colonial disasters Spain has broken with
the romantic and the epic, but sho treas?
ures both In tho Inmost recesses of. her
heart, Just, as1 noble, families reverently
preeorvo their glorious title deeds, and,
though' they? have eepn their legendary
castle, fall Info'ruin and the decay of
tll?lr seigneurial authority,'1 yot keep thoir
Heime nf honor In unimpaired vitality and
their dignity u.nOImlnlshed.
Ill tlio opinion of other iiallqns there
Is nothing that savors of the past In. the
rapid, thorough, and oflleaelotiH manner
In which Bpuln proceeds with hor rcpou
slrucjlnn. Since the. bloody days In
f'nbii ami the Philippines, und Ilio dis
asters site suffered In the conflict with
such ?in unequal adversary'as the United
States, our country Is engaged III re
ciiperatliiK hor strength.
She hit? proved her perfect solvency,?
oven to ilio point of prodigality, In tho
inanner In which she paid debts for which.
she had only a secondary responsibility,
and which slie succeeded in excluding
from the operation of tho treaty of Paris.
Our Bcctnitles aro quoted at a higher fig?
lile than that al which they stood before
the war, tho wealth nf the Inhabitant* is1
Increasing, our Industry and commerce
have notably developed, and one may say
in generiti that, now 11)?I Spalti Ih moro

vital onorgy revealed by n, country which,
in the space "f a quarter of u century,
has transported moro than 300,000 men
In her own ships iiciosh tho Atlantic,
lias spoilt more than 8,000,000,000 pesetas,
and has got so fai' with the liquidation
of tho debt thereby Incurro?! that moro

There can bo no hard and fast rules
about such things. Ordinarily It Is tho
prerogative .of the'hostcss to suggest the
hour for retiring. But if Ilio guest is
tired and sleepy, ? there can be no Im?
propriety in politely asking the privilege

The man stood still as a piece of atone?
Stood sadly, gloomily there alane;

He thought If the woman went down be

That lit; CPrtnlnly would have to go;
That If .she wont to the regions dim,
There wasn't a ghost of a show for him.
Slow-ly he turned bylhabll be.nt,
To follow, whe?r?ver the woman went;
St; Peter standing.hv duty there, '
Observed that tho top of his head was

He called the gentleman back and said:
"Friend; how long have you been wedT"
"Thirty years," with ft* wenry ?Igh, *
And then he thoughtfully added, "Why?"
St. Peter was_, silent, With head bent
down, '"
He raised his hand and scratched his
crown:
Then seeming a different thought to take.
Slowly, halt to hlmsolf. he spake:
"Thirty years, with that woman there?
No wonder tho man hasn't any hair!
Swearing Is wicked, smoke's not good;
He smoked and swore?I should think he
would!
Thirty years with that tongue so sharp.

It Isn't Just hardly the thing to do,
To roast him on earth. and the lutiiro

They gave him a harp with golden
strings, 'f?.
A glittering robe, and a pair of -wings,
And he said, ns he entered tlic Realm'.Of

"Well, this beats cucumbers, anyway!"
And so the Scripture had come to pass,
That "the last ?hull be first, und Ilio
