Gen. Stuart had attacked the train

Gen Stuart headed it off and burned

A Sunset Battle.
to'eil o* I have said. af# beaded for
the old battle field at Mann**** on
the morning of the 28th. toe marched
that day until 1 suppose one or per
hapa two o'clock. We were halted In
a pi ce of old field. We were all ly
ing around when *n officer came by
and wc naked why It wa* wc could
not move on HU reply wa# that we
would have to fight our way out. About
an hour after this we were moved
foi ward to a large body of wood*.
Here we were halted In line of battle,
facing aouthweat. An order came to
call the roll and see how many men
were present for duty. Our regiment
iTwenty-sixth Georgia) had t 63 ntep.
Including officers (Wasn't she a rous
er?) Our company had 18 men all
toJd.
It was now about sunset, a beautiful
sunset all tinged wlih a fringed golden
scoloped cloud. Just as the last ruys
of daylight wore being shut out wo
received orders to advance. We moved
out through an open field. The enemy
was firing heavily upon us ns we ad
vanced. Wc held our fire until within
a hundred yard# of the enemy. We
dropped behind h little fence and
poured a heavy volley into them. Afur
tiring live or six shots we raised the
rebel yell and charged the enemy and
ran him off the field.

Upon Manasses' bloody plains
At closing of the day,
When starry lamps were set In heaven,
A youthful soldier lay.
No mother’s sweet voice was heard to
cheer.
No sweet sister’s hand to clear
The cold death drops from hts brow.
When to my comrades you shall speak
Of this awful bloody fray,
! Tell them in gentle tones
What has happenel here today.
We then fell hack to the old fence
and rallied the amount that was left.
They numbered nil told 25. Only three
of my company were left, myself and
tivo others. My captain was killed
dead, and the first lieutenant very se
riously wounded. Some two or three
of the men were killed, the others
wounded, some badly, some not so had.
A Yankee ball passed through my hav
ersack and tore a large hole through
my piece of captured bacon.
The next morning we were moved
back to the piece of wood and otir lit
tle command of 26 men. which was the
remainder of the Twenty-sixth Geor

evening, the 30th. , ,

Friday night of Into week • pnrty of
gentlest a. among them Mr. Henry
North. Mr Brynn luiwrwnce and Mr
Kd Lyon, met In the Arlington hotel
There were two or thtee army olßcer*

r marked Mr. True he winked at
the army ollhe.* there- and they nn
derstood the Jok- —but there were oth
er* present by thl* time who did not
or would not see the Joke.
The party grew larger The gentle
larn who had Aral made up the party
found themselves Joined by a number
of gentlemen, who in response to pleas
ant challenge*. said to Mr. byon: "Yea.
old man. I will vote for you for coun
cil.* - There were other* who of the
otlglnal small party and the then
larger party who said: "No, l haven'i
anything against yon. Ed. but 1 am,
also a friend and supporter of Mr R
E. Allen, and 1 consider myself bound
to Mr. Allen"
The New* Flew About.
Mr R E. Allen has been for a long

complish woman * best and highest
work In and for the world
Now another point Many women
have great mental aud moral fotce,
but not much of this world's good*.
Now we all know that without money
but little can be accomplished, yet
right here the department club he ps
these women —it enables them, by unit
ing their small dues, to raise respecta
ble sums; so small means need not be
an Insuperable drawback to philan
thropic endeavor.
An Economical Club.
' The department club Is an econom
ical club; there i* a condensation of
expenses, enabliug more to be don?
with less outlay. For instance, rent,
printing and various other expenses
which might be mentioned.
Another point—all these w-omen.
with their varying tastes and pu;su!ts,
when thrown in contact, as they are,
in the general club meetings, mii9t nec
essarily act upon one another, and
the result will bo broader minded wo
men. better able to enter into all that
makes for the elevation of their race.
They will be drawn out of their nar
row grooves and have more sympathy
with the feelings and aims of others;
they will see that there are other
lights In the world besides that given
by their own bit of candle, which onqp
was "hid under a bushel," but may
now shine undimmed.
In forming a department club it Is
not necessary to start with ever so
many sections, it is enough to ©.art
with only two or three sections, and
add others as they may be needed or
desired. I suppose a literary, a home,
and philanthropic section would be aj
good beginning, and perhaps beet of
all, a business section (for so many
women are woefully ignorant of the
simplest butiness forma or principle*).!
A m*mber can b*long to on* or all
as those section* —ah* i* only limited
by her ability and the Urn* at b*r dis
posal. and one great beauty of the
department club, as all these sections
are under one head, their times o£

All over the country we find small, i
Independent clubs for the study of
these things, though good in them
selves, still they are not so good as
a department club; for several rea
sons. First, a diffusion of energy;
second, diffusion of means; third, lack
of contact with others. All this the
department club remedies, consolidat
ing energy and means. The Mothars
Congress is utterly unnecessary, forj
all the work It does is done by the
home section of the department club,,
with a tithe of the fuss and expense.
If In union there Is strength, surely
the reverse is Just as true—ln division
there is weakness. So those small
clubs, on one exclusive line of work,
rise, flourish for a day and then disin
tegrate; but with a large department
club, giving larger scope for thought;
and study, the Interest is maintained,
and we can reasonably hope for some
thing of a more permanent character,
something that shall be identified with
town and people and be a formative
influence in the midst, something that
no matter how much one's mind may
broaden with added years, will still be
ajle to supply the menial stimulus
or needed study. Th# small societies
and olvibs, for lack of proper organiza
tion and means, and largely perhaps,
because they conflict with ihe hours of
other engagements, are rarely very
successful or, lasting. The harmony of
work, the proper appointment o£ times ;

SARAH U. MIXSON.
All He Craved.
Th- proprietor of the restaurant had
just Issued a new advertisement, ln-
I tended to call attention to a reduction
;in rates, says the Chicago Post. After
quoting the prices of various articles
to conclusively demonstrate the fact
that everything was cheap, he added
at the bottom of the advertisement:
"Bread, butter and potatoes free.”
He knowß better now. If he had to
do it over again he would word it a
little differently, and all because a
solemn-looking man came in one day,
and after taking his place at a table,
pointed to the advertisement and
asked:
| “Is that on the square?”
"Certainly,” replied the waiter.
"Then give me some bread, butter
and potatoes,” said the man.
"Yes, sir. What else?” asked the
waiter.
"Nothing else,” replied the man.
! “That's all that's free, isn’t it?”
Education In Public Life.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
There is no reason to believe that
any class of the American people cher
ish a contempt for educated men. On
the contrary, public and private boun
ty are constantly increasing the num
bers and facilities of Institutions of
learning, and when an important pub
lic duty is to be performed, the people
choose the best man at their disposal
: and education is usually an important
| factor in directing the choice.
