does indeed work like a charm. Six years, ago
mother had a fall which came very near r.eultliu
fatally. She recovered her health in some degree
during the year following, but she sustained such
severe injuries, especially in her spine and left arm
nu snoulUbr, that she was almost uoipiees. Ho
ping a change of climate might be beneficial, the
spring of the second year after her fall she went to
t tica, J. ., to visit some relatives. vy uue mere
she obtained and used some of vour Mngic Oil ; it
relieved her almost immediately, so much bo th t
she came home very mnch improved In health and
strength, and bv the free use of the Magic Oil she
is now euioving better health than she has known
for ten years, and has recovered entirely from her
injuries. Mother has so much confidence in your
Magic Oil that she will not be without it.
Respectfully yours, Joseph E. Dixson.
Some folks seem lobeprond of telling how "lame

A War Fourth of July Beniiaiscsuca
A Presentiment Verified.
To the Editors of The Argus.
On the night of the old nf July 1SG4,
Mulligan with his brigade and some other
troops lay at Leetown, V. Va. We had
been ordered down the valley to reinforce
Hunter, advancing on Lynchburg. Hunt
er was compelled to retreat, and Early,
who was opposed to hiui being relieved
thereby, turned his attention to Sieel, who
was at Martinsburg with an inferior force.
Sigel evacuated .Martinsburg and marched
down on the bank of the Potomac to a
fording point, and sent an urgent request
to Mulligan to protect his flank at nil
lazards. Early, anticipating this, sent a
heavy detachment to overwhelm Mulliean.
With my two assistants, Taylor and Stin-
son, l was lounging in my tent when 6 or 4
officers of the brigade made a call. Among
them was Lieutenant Pillion. He lay
down in a corner of the tent, and as he was
usually very jocular his reticence and
sober demeanor attracted our attention.
'Pillion what is the matter?" asked one
of the party. He hesitated a moment and
said. uentiemen J snail never see
another 4th of J uly. If we fight tc-mor-row
I shall fall." We bantered hiui for
his superstitition. He wa3 silent and soon
left.
At daylight next morning (the 4th.')
the enemy opened fire. Pillion was on the
.skirmish line with his company, and bore
the brunt or the first onset, and at the
first volley poor Pillion, as brave a soldier
as ever with his blood crimsoned the ver
dure of a battle field, fell dead ere yet the
sun had risen.
Many years have been added to the
muster roll of time since then, but a 4th
of July never dawns that memory does
not recall that sad event, and in meDtal
vision 1 see the pale countenance of that
brave boy,aface ot unsurpassed beauty even
in death. From dawn to darkness Mulligan
constested every inch of ground and saved
eigel Irom annihilation, x was old enough
to be the father of my assistants and yet,
alas! they are both gone and I am here,
Stinson died of cholera in Chicago on the
day fixed for his wedding; Taylor in an
iusane asylum, brave and talented both.
Taylor was Scotch, Stinson English, and
I was Emerald, the shamrock, the rose
and the thistle around the stars and
stripes. Stinson was our rose.he deserved
the epithet, he was preeminently hand
some, but
The pride of heraldry, the pomp of power.
And all thnt beauty, ali thai wealth e'er gave.
Await alike the inevitublehour,
The paths of elory lead but to the gnve.
Poor Taylor had an indomitable, impul'
suve love of fight, and if he saw two dogs
fighting he wauted to be one of the dogs,
and on this occasion, at Leetown, when a
rebel brigade suddenly emerged irom a
wood with a terrific yell and made a rush
at our battery Taylor dropped his instru
ments, picked up a musket from the side
of a wounded soldier and went in on a
bayonet charge and drove them. No
rebjcould outyell him, and that reb brig
ade thought the "Campbells were com
ing," and "lit out."
Morejnoise to-morrow than at Leetown,
but, thank Ood. safer. G.
