SOLDIERS’ SUPERSTITIONS.
Confederates and Federate Rabbits'
Feet—A Steel Button.
From the Detroit Free Press.
As to whether the Confederate soldier
yfgg any more superstitious than the Federal
I neither admit nor deny, but I think the
same superstitions in regard to battles prob
ably prevailed to an equal extent on both
sides. We may laugh at them now, but we
once accepted and ptaned our faith to them.
The first instance to come under my obser
vation was at Gaines’ mill. I was then
serving with an Alabama regunent, and the
morning of tho day on which we were mak
ing our coffee at the early camp fire, 1 heard
a sort of groan from a comrade, and as I
turned to look at him 1 noticed that he was
staling into his coffee pot with something
like terror, while his face was deathly pale.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I shall bo killed to-day,” he groaned
•‘Fudge! We don’t know that even a sin
gle musket will to fired.”
“I dreamed last night,” he whispered,
“that I looked down upon a sheet of water
whose surface was covered with bubbles, and
amid them I saw my own dead face. I shall
be shot before night.”
I ridiculed the idea and brought up others
to assist me, but the only reply to our rail
lery was a sad shako of the head. He was a
toliever in dreams, and ho certainly felt that
his last day had come. In place of eating
his breakfast he scribbled off a letter to his
mother and intrusted it to a comrade. In a
little time we got the order to march, and
before noon my regiment was
thrown forward to uncover a
portion of the Federal line. The first
missile sent at us was a solid shot from a
field-piece, and it struck the young soldier
in the chest and cut him fairly in two with
out injuring another man. Not another
man was even wounded for the next ten
minutes. The night before Burnside crossed
at Fredericksburg a second lieutenant in a
Virginia regiment received, with hundreds
of others, some mail frflm the regimental
bag. I carried the pack of twenty or thirty
letters over to the officers’ quarters and
handed it to this lieutenant. The top letter
was for him, and on one end of the letter
was a red stain. It looked like blood, but
was probably ink. He no sooner saw it than
he became greatly affected, and said:
“I shall be the first officer out of the regi-
ment killed to-morrow.”
I heard a dozen officers ridiculing him,
but he became silent and serious, and finally
walked away by himself. We were down
on the right, where the first Federal attack
was made. Our regiment was using a long
and deep land furrow as a rifle pit, and the
ach ancing line of blue had just come within
range when a bullet struck the Lieutenant
in the head, killing him instantly. It came
from the front and was probably from some
sharpshooter, but it was afterward agreed
that the officer who was killed was, perhaps,
the least exposed of any.
There was a superstition in my regiment
that any one who went into battle with the
foot of a rabbit tied around his neck was
safe. This was all right, and rabbits’ feet
were at a high premium for two or three
weeks. My brigade was pushed ahead on a
reconnoisance, bumped up against the
Yanks, and we not only got severely thrash
ed but we lost a good many men. Out of
the seventy men in my company I presume
that thirty had the talisman. It so hap
pned that the three killed belonged to this
lucky set, and next day rabbits' feet took a
decided fall in price.
I was for a time a brigadier’s orderly.
His supposition was that he would be safe
from bullets as long as he rode a chestnut
horse. In the first battle into w r hieh I fol
lowed him his chestnut horse was shot, and,
of course, I hustled to bring him up an
other. Mine was a coal black, and the only
Dne which I could get for him was a roan.
He didn’t seem to notice the difference until
the action was over, and then I got a terri
ble rating. In the second battle he had a
chestnut, and even before our lino came un
der fire a bullet crippled the horse and an
other hit my superstitious General in the
thigh and left him to limp through life on a
short leg. I personally knew other officers
who felt safe on roans, bays, blacks and even
whites, but they sooner or lafer discovered
that they had pinned their faith to a rule
which had exceptions.
I remember that just before Grant at
tacked Lee in the Wilderness, and while I
was at brigade headquarters, a hen, of
which there was a large flock about the
yard, scratched up a steel button. A ser
girnt of cavalry at once dismounted and
secured it, and when I asked what use he
could put it to, he replied:
“I will drop it into the ear of my colonel’s
horse just before the next battle, and no
harm will come to either of them.”
“But what fetish can there be in a steel
button ?”
“Oh, it isn’t so much in the botton as in
the hen scratching it up before my eyes.”
“But why not try it in your own horse’s
car and take care of yourself f”
“To be lucky it must be given to some
body else ”
I laughed at him, and ho got so mad
that we nearly came to blows. I met
him a week kiter, having a sabre cut on
his head, and asked him how the fetish
worked. ,
“Must have toen a crowing hen which
scratched it up,” he replied. “The Colonel
and t wenty of our men were killed the day
after I saw you. ”
PRETTY GIRL TEACHERS.
None Others Will Suit the Chinese Sun
day School Scholars.
from the Washington Post.
Thero are two Chinese Sunday schools in
the city, one at the Ascension Episcopal
church and the other at the Metropolitan
Methodist Episcopal church. The older of
the two classes is the one conducted under
the superintendence of Mr. Hall, who has
been laboring for several years past to con
vert the heathen Chinee. The other has
l>een but recently organized by Mr.' Ganss,
the new Sunday school super
intendent at Ascension. Mr. Gangs de
clares that when he Went to work to or
ganize this class he had no idea that he was
trespassing upon Mr. Hall’s presence, or that
there was a Chinese Sunday school class in
town. It is the last thing in'th. world, he
says, he would think of doing; bur before he
coine to 'Washington he had organized and
conducted a Cliinese class in Baltimore, and
that was whot prompted him to organize
one here. According to Mr. Gauss, only a
very limited number of Chinese have good
<. hristiau timber in them.
“I went round the laundries myself,” said
Mr. Gangs, “and held out every imaginable
inducement to bring the Chinese to school.
W lien the first half dozen wore got together
in Ascension church after morning service
I took the trouble to teach them myself, but
that was not sufficient. On the very first
day they demanded that each Chinaman
should have a teacher all to himself, and
they hinted that they had expected to lie
taught by lady teachers. 1 promised that
t lieu- request should lie granted, and thnt on
the next Sunday there would boa lady
teacher for each individual. ”
At this promise the scholars rubbed their
hands together and went away laughing.
On the following Sunday there were several
lady teachers, but not as many as heathen
Chinese. There was disappointment, and a
Bl eat deal of explanation and promise was
necpTsary to set matters right. However,
with pm-severance, difficulties were over
come and a class of fourteen was at length
developed, with a lady teacher to each
*cholar. All went well until an innovation
" as made, which was quickly resented.
The lirst male teacher was introduced.
” he Chinese did not bargain for male toaeh
o* nnd resolved to boycott them from the
beginning. The gentleman wns a (lead l'ail-
UrH from the first! The Chinaman who was
Assigned to him on Sunday would look sulky
tdl the time, while his fellow countrymen all
around him looked pictures of schoolboy
bliss, and on the following Sunday would
n °t appear at the church. Scholar after
scholar the gentleman lost, until it was
quite apparent that no Cliinese Sunday
'sicol boy would be satisfied with anything
less than a “pletty gal” for his* teacher.
That rule is now thoroughly understood,
and tho gentleman, although anxious to do
what lie can in the work of converting the
h • then, is now without a pupil.
“1 begin to think that the whole thing is
a farce,” said he to a Post reporter, as he sat
within sight of a dozen Chinamen snugly
ensconced in a dozen seats scattered all over
the church, with a dozen “pletty gals” be
side them. "1 togin to think,” said he,
“that they are laughing at the whole thing
in their sleeves—and right big sleeves they
have.”
It is the unanimous conviction of the su
perintendent and all tho teachers that the
heathen Chinee is a delicate subject to oper
ate upon. He had to be coaxed to attend a
school on Sunday by friendly visits (luring
the week, and those who come on Sundays
arrive at their own leisurely convenience.
Half past twelve is the time appointed for
the meeting of scholars and teachers in one
of the vestry rooms of the church. The main
doors are all closed. A- sideway is opened
for the dear Chinese and the entire building
for the time is given up to them. All the
rest of the world is excluded. It is some
times an hour after the appointed time
when the pupils arrive. They come singly,
in pairs and sometimes all together. Whether
they arrive singly or alone they usually
hang around the sidewalk and lean up
against the railings in front of the church
with their hands in their trousers pockets
whistling.
The Sunday school is always opened with
prayer and a hymn by the superintendent
and teachers. When the others kneel in
prayer the heathens kneel. Some, of them
are so pious at such a time that they tore
their heads, pig tails and all, into the ground,
while others giggle and laugh inwardly and
keep stealthily looking about them all the
time.
They don’t objeet to prayer and they don’t
object to hymn singing: on the contrary,
they seem to enjoy both. But when it
conies to the religious training they will
not tolerate anything that clashes with their
heathen ideas. They dare not allude to idol
atry in disparaging terms; they dare not at
tempt to show or convince them that the
light of Christianity is superior to the light
of Asia. They merely try to teach them to
read a littlo English now, in the hope that
later on there may be a chance for a little
Christianizing. The most experienced
teachers say that it generally takes several
years of careful preparation before you can
venture with any hope of success to ask a
heathen Chinee to give up any of his re
ligious views or any of his gixls. He docs
not much mind one or two addition gods,
but ho is slow to give up those that are his
already. The problem of Christianizing the
Chinese, however, is not quite hopeless, for
Mr. Gauss says that after long training and
much trouble several Chinamen were con
firmed the other day in the Protestant Epis
copal church in Baltimore.
CALLED BACK TO LIFE.
A Lover’s Tough Experience—A Chap
ter From Mrs. Cleveland’s Youth.
From the Baltimore American.
Washington, May 7.—Many a ship
wrecked heart was left stranded on the
shores of love when Frances Folsom wedded
Grover Cleveland. Of all these wrecks, but
one ha? been heard from and is known to
liave passed safely through the surf of that
rude awakening. His name? Well, ’tis on
the hotel register at Willard’s. But why
give him away? His story? Well, that’s
another thing. It was no mere passing
fancy, no case of love at first sight that
burned deep within the heart of this young
Romeo to-day and to-morrow was gone, but
an abiding affection, so to speak, that
grew with his growth and strengthened
with his strength. Way back to
the time when they attended neigh
boring schools the tender passion began
to dawn within his breast, and quickly
ripened into a positive feeling, that played
sad havoc alike with his studies, his appetite
and his general peace. When both had left
school he paid her devoted and unremitting
attention, but never, so far as is known, re
ceived from her any sign that he was re
garded as more than a warm friend. But
that was enough for him, so long as none of
his rivals seemed to have any greater recog
nition. And so things went on from day to
day and season to season. Miss Folsom’s
popularity was absolutely without any limi
tations. loved and admired her,
just as they do now. The boys were
madly in love with her, the old people
thought she was “an angel,” and the other
girls were not jealous of her, because there
was that about her which dispelled any such
feeling. At every place of amusement, be it
the theatre, ball, amateur theatricals or
what not in winter, the church festival, pic
nic, tennis or boating parties in the summer,
she was always foremost, and he was always
with her. There was no distance great
enough to keep him away, no privation suf
ficient to check his ardor. By and by a
strange rumor reached his ear. Frances
Folsom was going to marry Grover Cleve
land, the President of the United States.
Could it be true?” No. He would not be
lieve it. Ho tried to put the dreadful
thought from him. But it rose up in his
very throat until it choked him, and when
it began to be generally talked about and
accepted as true, his cup of misery was full.
He refused to be comforted. Even the
thought of his suffering companions was
no solace to him. Finally the mar
riage came. It was tho talk
of. the whole country for months
before and after. The press gave column
upon column of description and all this that
was read with avidity by others was gall
and wormwood and doubly distilled to him.
His parents, alarmed at his condition, per
suaded him to travel, and he went South,
and he remained many months. Slowly tho
lapse of time and change of scene, the two
great remedies for blighted affection,
wrought a change in him, and in due
course of time he returned to his home in
New York, reconciled to the inevitable, but
with a spot yet not entirely healed in his
heart. Long time his parents and friends
talked to him and told him that only one
thing was needful to make his cure com
plete, and that was to go to Washington
like a man and call on Mrs. Cleveland at
the White House. After much solicitation he
yielded, but would not come unless his best
friend, whose name shall also be omitted,
would come with him. The friend readily
consented, and not long ago the two started
out for Washington, arrived here one after
noon and registered at Willard’s. That
evening he ‘‘screwed his courage to the
sticking place” and they went to the White
House and spent a long and delightful even
ing The President happened to bo away at
tho theatre, apd Mrs. Cleveland received
thrill most cordially. They talked over old
times, and, the ice once broken, the quon
dam lover laughed pleasantly over his
laudable weakness, and they parted tho best
of friends. After leaving tile White House
they met a third friend, whom they had
formerly known in New York.
“What, , you here!” he exclaimed.
The whole story was then told—of how ho
at last yielded to the wishes of his friends
and come to Washington for the express
purpose of spending the evening with Mrs.
Cleveland in tho White House,
“And how did you find her?” queried the
friend. , ,
“The same dear, sweet, lovely girl that I
used to know,” he replied with IU-coueealed
emotion, “but lam now persuaded that ‘it
is better to have loved and lost thau never
to have loved at all.’”

The Heal Estate Market
The transactions in realty been quite
numerous thus far this month. The sales of
lots by the city at the Court House on the
3d inst. have evidenced the confidence that
our people have in the future of the city.
Judicious Advertising and a
Good Demand
Have resulted in the lessening of my offer
ings very materially.
Yet I have a few pieces of improve prop
erty worthy the attention of those desiring
homes.
Choice Lots
Are certainly very scarce. The western
sido seems to be in tavor now.
Quito an inquiry has started up for lots
west of Whitaker street.
High Ground
.Seems to be in demand, and the building
public naturally prefer the highest that can
bo found.
The ground rises from Whitaker street
westward. While there are but few left In
that section for sale, 1 have on my list a few
on Hall anil Gwinnett streets, which art
good.
1 have also one or two good lots on Lorch
street (next nortli.of Hall, between Jefferson
and .Montgomery) which I can recommend
to those who want to get in a good neigh bor
hood, but who do not care to pay fancy
prices.
On West, Broad end Gwinnett I have some
really excellent lobs, which I am able to sell
quite low for cash.
West of West Broad
There are a few fine building sites worthy
the attention of speculators, or [lermanent
investors. I am able to give easy terms upon
these lots, and advise those who wish to
secure sites for future operations to sej)M®U
for a plat from which to make their
tions.
