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.’” Seemingly Eradicated, With ropeaW nud powerful doses of quinine, chills and fever, in someone of its various forms, springs Into active existence again, ofton with out the slightest apparent provocation.
