CHAPTER 11.
The regiment to which I belonged
had an enviable reputation, and we
knew what was expected of us. In
the moving around during the even
fig we had been thrown at the head
a ravine i*i the side of the ridge,
ancl consequently we were not asmgh
up as some parts of thp ridge. I
have never seen anything to compare
with the time just before a fight
begins.
During the interval that took.place
before the enemy could reach the
top of the ridge there were a great
many incidents to attract attention.
Near me was a boy about 18 years
old ; a frail, bashful looking fellow,
who seemed almost as sensitive as a
girl. I was struck with something
about his appearance, so much that I
found myself watching him eagerly,
lie was sitting down on his feet,
looking quietly on the scene; but
such a look ot determination I never
saw in one so young before. Every
feature told plainly that he was going
to do his duty.
All at once the line on our left
gave way and yankees and rebels
were mixed up promiscuously and
fighting with the butts af their guns.
On they come toward us; the troops
on our immediate right gave way be
fore the enemy got near them. All
is confusion ahd terror, but 1 can’t
forget my boy soldier. The regiment
is driven back but he does not follow’.
In my infatuation I forget the situa
tion, and before I am aware of it the
enemy are nearly on us. Just as
they rush upon a battery which has
been deserted he raises his gua as
coolly as if nothing was the matter
and down goes a United States Hag
and its bearer is dead. My hero
now’ rises to leave and so do I but
the moment he does so he falls head
upon th« on-'"- 1 1 ’ ’
streams forth. Strange to tell I pick
ed him up and carried him oft'without
being struck. After getting behind
the hill I stopped to examine his
wounds and I found him shot in thir
teen places. What to do with him I
knew not, for I was certain he would
die and that speedily if I could not
get medical aid for him. Owing to
the rout of our army the whole med
ical department was scattered in the
greatest c mfusian and I knew I could
find none of them soon.
I carried him about two hundred
yards from the spot where he was
wounded and a temporary lull in the
storm gave me a few minutes to decide
what to do. I could see only one
person tlmt I knew and that was one
of our Lieutenants. I called him to
m*e and we held a consultation as to
what was to be done. lie thought
too much of Charlie Thomas to see
him neglected in any way and I was
perfectly willing to do any thing in
my power for the brave boy whose
life seemed fast ebbing away. I com
menced w 7 ork cn Charlie’s wounds to
see if I could stop the blood, this I
succeeded in doing. The enemy now
made another effort and soon the
whole line, except Cleburne’s, was
drixen from the ridge, as they ap
proached us the Lieutenant bade us
both farewell; he complimented us
both for gallantry and left us with
tears in his eyes.
In less than five minutes we were
prisoners of war. Oh ! how I hate
the name. I would have endangered
my life a dozen times before I would
have been captured alone. I paid no
attention to anything except ray com
rade. The yankees passed me, but
didn't seem disposed to molest me.
I now had some hope of getting a
surgeon. I went to get some water
and met one of our surgeons, who
was ordered to remain with the
wounded. He was hunting some
place to establish a field hospital.
The doctor did not recognize me until
I addressed him. “Doctor, are you go
ing to remain with the wounded?”
4 ’\es; why, hello Tom; w’hat are
}ou doing here. 1 thought you never
sm rendered when there was anv
chance to get away ?’’
Cnarlio Ihomas is dangerously
wounded, and I was ordered to stay
and take care of him, and I wart
yon to go ai once and see him,”
“Indeed; lias be been shot ’—poor
boy.” ’
“Yes »ir, in thirteen places.”
“How’ came that Tom, it must
have been recklessness on his part,”
“I wns right by him ; he shot down
a color bearer just as the enemy
cleared the hill and then fell shot,
just as you see him.”
“How did you get him oft' then.”
M just picked him lip and toddled
like a teUow that was scared.”
“Well, who has been at work on
him already ? 1 set. si c j s bandaged
up.”
“I did that. I always carry Land
ages in my knapsack, and I usca
them on him.”
“W'ell I declare, Tom Carleton,
you are a case. llow much water
have you
•‘Two canteens full, sir.”
The doctor then proceeded to ex
amine each of the Wounds and found
two very serious ones, but ho thought
with proper care and treatment he
would live. This was good news to
me. After which he walked oft'.
“Come here, Tom,” said Charlie,
“I want to talk to you a little.”
“WTiat will you have ?” said I.
“Do you think I will ever get well?”
“I hope so, Charlie, the doctor
thinks you will if you are attended
to properly.”
“I am glad ofi mother’s accouut
that you both think so. Tom, if I
don’t and you are allowed to remain
with me, I have a letter in my pocket
that I want you to send to bliss Ida
Singleton. I destroyed all of them
except this one. I don’t believe she
cares anything for me, but I love her
notwithstanding.”
“Have you ever told her so,
Charlie ?” said I.

A Modern Courtesan.
The woman, Helon Josephine Mans
field, who has been made so notorious
bv her infamous connnction with the
Fisk murder, is said, in appearance
at least, to rank with those of her
sisters whose beauty and crimes have
become historic. A reporte/ of the
Brooklyn Eagle describes the appear
ance of “Josie,” as she sat in Court
in New l r orli city, during the Stokes
trial on Monday, before giving her
testimony as a witness in his behalf : j
“She has got a black eye full of the
devil, and all the accompanying
graces. It has got all the traditional
fire supposed to be the gift of the
swarthy angel They are tinely set in
her head, beneath prettily arched
eyebrows. There isjust the slightest
trace of wrinkles around the corners,
but so skillful is her use of powder
and cosmetics that these little notch
es of “the enemy’’ are hidden bom
all but the most curious observers.
Her nose is large and straight, and is
almost classic in its mould. Zi lacks
delicacy of outline. There is, how
ever, that peculiar Roman turn ot the
nostrils denoting at once frequency
and strength of passion. The chin
and mouth are passionate to the last
degree. The lips are full of red and
have that peculiar, but indescribable
curve, which denote the refined cour
tesan. She has got a pretty ear, from
which jewels of a costly character
depend. The whole cast of the head
conveys an impression of affection—
of that affectation which is the result
of long and persistent application,
but which has been so delicately cub |
tivated that it almost passes current
for nature. Over her face hung a
slight black veil dependent from a 1
black crepe bonnet, on the top of j
which waved a blue feather. Her
hair hung in graceful abandon over
her shoulders —shoulders fat and
round—concealed only to be made i
the more visible. Around her neck
was woven an imramense gold chain,
attached to which is a locket and a
lot of brilliant little knick-naeks
which lie upon her exposed breast.
Her dress of light gaaze has been
cut so as to set off to advantage the
charms of her large person. Indeed,
i this was about the only feature in her
attire which destroyed the impres
| of ladyhood and conveyed,
through all the jewelry, gauze
and lace, that of the immodest wo
iuan. t rom her shoulders a fine black
, lace shawl hung gracefully gathered
easily together at the waist, and he'M
by gold bands. 1. nder her white
overskirt she wore a black silk, which
seemed unnecessarily long for this
season of the year, but which, long
as it was, did not prevent her from
showing her small foot cased in silk
to those in her immediate vicinity.
1 aken all in all she has quite an im
posing appearancs and looks well
calculated to win the esteem of such
a man as Fisk, and to make an abject
s’ave of him. But it is not so clear
how she contrived to trap and work
Stokes. How old she is it is difficult
to tell ; she is one of those ladies who
make it a part of their business to
keep but an indefinite record of time.
But, despite considerable painting
and powdering, she looks as if at least
thirty-five summers had smiled upon
her head, and that they had not fled
without leaving her dower of craft, is
shown by the success which has at
tended her efforts to riso from the
fester to Fifth Avenue palace. To
desenv* this queen of the detni.»
monde of day in a word, she is
the embodiment 0 f voluptuousness.
.\ Terrible Flic—V >ll n itt-sot ►. . .
Fight Children Burned In tn, v | amr ,
A most tefrible calamity ogcu, 0 d
between fen and eleven o’clock Saturn
day night, in Reserve tow nship, about
three *nd a half miles from the city-
Jos. W essinger formerly lived anil
worked a twenty acre .tract of land
in Reserve township. /Jis house was
not situated ou any traveled road, but
was about mid way between the Re
serve road which branched ofl from
Fort street an&M,e extension of Sum
mit avecue. lhi> 0 years ago last
fall he died, leaving w jf e$ Made
line Wessingcr, forty-eig * years o ] t j
and eight children. The V» j QW an< j
children continued living upo. j
working tho twenty acres until b
urday night, when tbc terrible calam
ity wc are about to record came upon
them.
The children were Charles, nine
teen years of age ; Catharine, seven
teen ; William, fifteen ; Tracy (a girl)
thirteen ; Joseph, ten: Christina,
eight*, Madel.no, five', Mary, thiee
h„H' Tlip House. in which thev
lived was one story and a halt trame,
having down stairs a kitchen, with sit
ting room and bed room. Up stairs
there w;as but one room. In the bed
room down stairs the mother, Wil
liam. Madeline and Mary slept. Up
stairs, Charlie, Catherine, Tracy,
Joseph and Christina had their beds.
They returned about 10 o’clock Sat
urday night, and half an hour later
Catharine w as awakened by a stifling
sensasion, which she found to be oc
casioned by smoke coming up from
the kitchen below. The stairway
from the chamber led into the kitch
en, and she found upon opening the
door that the means of escape was
cut off. She aroused her brother
Charles, and sprang through a win
dow which opened upon a shed, and
leaped to the ground
Cnarles jumped to the ground from
another window, thinking he might
arrest the progress of the lire, and
Catharine broke in the window in
her mother’s room and aroused her
to her danger, but she and all the
children with her were cc nsidcrably
burned. Charles finding the flames
could not be stayed, climbed back
irUo the chamber to save tho children.
He found Tracy, and dropped her
out of the window. lie could hear
Christina moving about the room and
groped about to find her, but did not
succeed, and finally, after being ter
ribly, and it is feared; fatally burned,
wa3 compelled to abanbon her and
Joseph to the flames.
During yesterday the charred re
mains of the two children were found,
such portions as were not wholly des
troyed were placed in a coffin and
buried in the Catholic cemetery. —
From the location of the body it is
thought that Joseph never awoke,
