Gettysburg Re-Fought.
Gettysburg. June 7. —A sight the
like of which is not noted in the world's
history was seen here to-day, when
representative Union and Confederate
officers walked arm in arm over the
battle field, pointing out positions of
opposing forces on the ground of the
great combat. The courtesies shown
the Southern officers were so constant
and so marked as to cause General
Forney, a member of Congress from
Alabama, to say that the warmth of
the present greeting almost, outdid
that of nineteen years ago, when he
lay. so sorely wounded that he did not
hear t lie historic cannonade that shook
the kills and jarred the stony bottom
of the Susquehanna. General 1). W.
Aiken and General 11. A. Herbert,
both Representatives in the National
House, who led Alabama and South
Carolina troops in assaults against
Sickles, were prominent among tho
Confederate officers. General Sickles
brought his one leg upon the field rather
late, for he did not reach town until
noon, at which time Major General
S. W. Crawford, who thinks so much
of Little Round Top that he lias bought
a rocky acre upon its crest. Major
General T. W. Egan and Colonel G. E.
Randolph, Chief of the Third Corps
Artillery, arrived also. These veterans
had been preceded by man}’ comrades,
among whom were General J. R.
Rrooke, U. S. A., Representative
Shallenberger, Colonel J. B. Baclielder,
Government historian, Major Martin
Maginnis, General Ellis Speer and
numerous regimental officers. All
took part in tlic battle of the second
day and they represented many com
mands along the famous Reach Orchard
and Wheat Field lines.
THE MARC H TO TIIE FIELD.
The battle field was at its best.
From the well kept town which it
skirts, to the great green knob of
Hound Top its hills and hollows gave
to the eye p.easing pictures without
number. The clover field across which
the topmost wave of tlic rebellion
rolled to break against the stone wall
was carpeted with anew growth of the
same herbage; beyond were fair
stretches of tiie green of grass and tree,
and, whether looking to the right miles
away toward the blue sky line of South
Mountain or to tlic left at the grayish
sides of Little Round Top, grim,
scraggy and burdened with boulders,
one saw enough to drive even the every
day pencil into poetry. All went well
at the start. Colonel Baelielder tapped
the party to order at 8 o’clock in front
of tlic town headquarters, carriages
wore taken and the line moved briskly
out the Emincltsburg road. At the
first halt, which was at the intersec
tion of the pike with a by-road, it was
evident that there was going to boa
good deal of fun. A disposition on
the part of a half dozen generals or so
to talk all at once was developed.
GETTING DOWN TO WORK.
“That looks like the little white
house." one would say. and then would
go on to tell how his command charged
down to the house, but before he could
get into t,hc midst of his explanation
another would remind him that there
were several “little white houses”
roundabout, or a third would indicate
his interest in some distant field.
Thus it came that they fell into a mild
sort of Babel. “This is wonderful, ’
remarked Colonel Wallace, d3f the
Maryland line, who once arrested
Senator Bayard : “ It is really wonder
ful to see these men, all of promi
nence in life, stand here nodding,
arguing and gesticulating, as freely as
though they were school boys, over a
lot of green fields and something that
occurred nearly nineteen years back.”
It was easy enough to see, however,
why it should lie so, for everyone was
elated with tlic bright spectacle, with
the air that came in fine perfume over
the clover, and most of all becausedie
had a secret to pluck from the heart
of the landscape. In the midst of tlic
laughable clamor of tongues up got
old Colonel Walker, of Maine. This
hero of the Devil's Deu spoke witli
such precision of the formation of the
first skirmish line that lie taught those
about him the advantage of settling
one thing at a time. Then General
Herbert began to see more clearly, and
General Forney, untangling the skeins
of memory, solved the problem of his
position.
DEVELOPING THE POSITIONS.
Trotting down the by-road the party
reached the wooded crest of Seminary
Ridge, and following the crest came
to tlic rough patches of timber where
Wilcox's brigade was thought to have
made his start. The interest of the
Southerners deepened, over Forney's
massive features coming the smile of
recognition as of an old-time friend.
Their tongues were unloosed and
turned otr incidents now remembered
b>r the first time since the battle.
“ Right hcah,” said the Alabama
Congressman in the Gulf-State tongue
that seemed about as odd to Penn
sylvania ears as the Down East
enunciation, of (im, Maine colonels
present; “right lieali by this white
oak General Lee stool, and he began,
sirs, scanning the other fellers with a
long glass. Captain Walter Winn
says, ‘ General, it's no use for you to
stay heali.’ ‘Oh.’ says General Lee.
‘ I don’t think they'll shoot an innocent
man.’ Just then a bullet comes co
blip. and I remember—yes, I reccoin
member—hit the tree just over his
head.”’ This is one of a hundred
incidents just as interesting, few of
which have found their way into print,
told as t lie party stood at various
fxdtits upon the field. While some
were humorous, as many were t,regie.
If sermon were not found in stones,
trees, fences, fields and tlic little pools
of spring water furnished tlic missing
link whereby suggestions came.
General Aiken was not particularly
excited until lie stumbled upon a gum
tree, the half of which was missing.
“ Now,” lie exclaimed, standing back,
his eyes firing wit h the light of sudden
and vivid recollection, *• I am as
certain as I live that I saw a man killed
right there. He was an officer in
Simms’ brigade, my support, and was
laughing and chatting with my men.
He sat down by the side of that tree,
the very picture ofliealth and gallant ry.
As lie sat there a round shot from a
Federal battery cut tlic trunk of the
tree ofF, and, though the shot never
touched him. lie was dead in a second.
The concussion alone killed him.*’ By
means of the tree General Aiken knew
the position of his troops and could
point out the spot where Genera!
Simms fell, swooning into the death
sleep while hopefully tying a bandage
about, liis wounds.
ON TIIE FEDERAL LINE.
The (.'onfederate position on that
part of Lee's left waUestahlUlicd in
this way, a knoll suggesting this and
a del! that. At every one of these
points a small stake, duly numbered
and registered, wasdiiven, under Col.
Bachelder's scrutiny. Indeed the only
weapons upon the field were the sttike
driver's sledge-hammer and the canes
of the generals. Aiken, afire some
what by his discoveries, led a battalion,
armed with the lat ter, over the ground
ofhischarge, first through a wheat field,
then between some rows ot corn and
at last down a rocky bottom, where
more stories of daring, of triumph or
of loss were told. “It was upon one
of these boulders,” said General
Brooke, not at all out of breath from
the long trudge, “ that a bullet hit me
in the ankle.” and then lie explained
how his brigade came to get into such
a tight place, while Aiken listened with
both cars, for he bad faced Brooke
there and may have sent the bullet
that took tlic bite of flesh. Congress
man Shallenberger, j-outhful in looks
but grave in manner, also paid close
attention, because he was with Zook
when that gallant man was slain just
on the hill a few hundred yards away.
“We are. paired for the House to-day.
Aiken,” he said, “ and I begin to think
we were paired on the 2d of July,
"Go.” This sally the party enjoyed,
unmindful that Shallenberger got a bit
of lead in his leg on the hill in question
—a sort of companion bullet to a much
worse one that came later in the
Wilderness.
IN THE WHEAT FIELD.
Just out a few rods nearer Round
Top was the whirlpool of battle, tiie
wheat field of bloody chronicle, and
into it the party moved, led by limping
participants in the slaughter. On that
line, from the Devil's Den to the peach
orchard just to the rigid., Longstrcet,
who said it was the best day's battle
ever fought, in the world, buried 1,500
men, and while he lost 6,000 all told,
Sickles counted G,OOO missing. Here
Col. Chas. 1. Merrill, of Portland, Me.,
stepped to the front to show where his
regiment stood jabbing at the enemy
with with only a hip high
fence between, and here Capt. G. B.
Winslow, of New York, had a stake
driven at, the spot his battery- did its
work. The party remained in the
wheat field a good while. Bones may
be under the turf, for all one can learn,
but the sheep grazing round about did
not seem to know nor care. Their
bells tinkled and the veterans vapored
until the sun, which had dried every
thing else up. ought to have gone
behind a cloud for shame. Dock and
such wild flowers as the mountain pink
were seen on this now quite common
place slope, while in the skirting woods
were the pinkest of pink anemones,
and very likely snakes.
at the devil’s den.
But rattlesnakes and tiie like, if any
where, must have been in venomous
multiplicity at the Devii* Deu. whither
the veterans now went. On the way
Colonel F. M. Cummins, of New York,
Colonel 11. R. Stoughton, of Massa
chesetts, and others marked out the
lines. The forinor seemed to be too
positive in his assertion that he stood
“ right there.” and though he bade
!Vr to drill a hole in that - particular
stone with his walking-stick thero were
expressions of doubt. llow could a
man tell to a hair’s breadth where he
had fought uinetccn years before ?
A]l were mystified. Colonel Cummins,
whose hair is as white as snow, was
pressed hard. Ilow could it be?
“Well,” said the Co’onel, “yon see
that hole between the rocks there:
that's how I know, for as I stood here
on the 2d of July. 63, 1 said to myself,
says I: ‘Now, by the old Harry.
Cummins, if it gets hot hop like hell
into that hole.”’ The crowd was con
vincod and convulsed in one breath.
So late was it getting that the wonder
ful rocks at Devil's Den was barely
glanced at, and the taking of General
Speer's valuable testimony with re
spect to the position of his Maine
troops had to lie postponed for the
time. The little valley of rocks was
left behind and the march for Gettys
burg was made in quick time.
General Beaver came in too late for
the battle-field fun, but in time for his
supper. This evening he made a
speech at a reception tendered the
veterans bv the local committee. The
positions that were developed to day
will be gone over to-morrow. G. M.

The Lovers’ Teeth.
I performed an operation of trans
planting under romantic circum
stances on a certain occasion, says a
Philadelphia dent.i A. A’ voung ladv.
as pretty as a peach, and a fine-look
ing young fellow came to see me one
morning. After no little hesitation
they told me they were betrothed and
that ne was in the army and was go
ing away to the plains for at least a
year, limiting Indians. “ And wc are
very unhappy at parting,” whimpered
she. “ Yes. we are,” almost blubber-
ed iie. “ \Ve heard of transplanting
teeth, and want you to take one out
of each of our mouths and transfer
them.”’ Fora moment I was trans*
fixed with laughter and astonishment,
and I attempted to reason them out of
their foolish proposition—both had
excellent teeth, by tlic way—but they
insisted, so I extracted one of her
largest back teeth and one of his
smallest, and changed them about.
Hers fitted in his jaw all right, and lie
went oil - a few days afterward to his
post with hjs lady love’s molar. His
tooth, however, would not stick in, for
within a week the young lady came
back with her face dreadfully swollen.
I reduced the inflammation and eased
the pain, lint could not replant* her
lover’s fang, and she went away with
,it wrapped up in paper. Oh ! the in
constancy of women. Six mouths af
ter she married a man old enough to
lie her father. When tiie young lieu
tenant subsequently returned lie in
dignantly told me of the manner he
had been jilted, and requested me to
JmnKwlintely extract his false love's
tooth, jgliich I did, and he threw it in
.the .ouspadorc.
A Lady of our acquaintance has
been in quite feeble health for many
years with some complaint pcctilar to
the sex—became emaciated —lost her
appetite—was melancholy—sleepless
—cross and fretful. Many years’ snf
fering indicated that al! medicines
were a failure. Someone suggested
ihc use of Dromgoole’s Kmjlish Fe
male Bitters, as it was not a patent nor
a secret remedy. It was used, and
seven bottles effected a cure.
Paid a Bill.
A Detroit lawyer took in anew boy
the other day. and as he had sulfercd
to some extent from tiie depredations
of the former one, he decided to try
the new lad’s honesty at once. He
therefore placed sls in bills under a

HOW WATCHES ARE WADE.
It will be apparent to any one who will
examine a Solid Goi i> Watch, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, a large proportion of the
previous metal used is needed only to
siiilen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity
and strength. Ihe surplus gold is actu
ally needless so far as exility and beau
tv are concerned. In JAMES BOSS'
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this
waste of precious metal is overcome, and
the SAME SOLI DPI V AND STRENGTH pro
duced at from one-third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. Thi- process is
of the most simple nature, as follows : a
plate of niekle composition metal especi
ally adapted to the purpose, has two plates
of solid GOLD soldered one on each side.
The three are then passed between polish
ed steel rollers, and the result is a strip o
heavy plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels. A:e.. are cut
and shaped by suitable dies and formers.
The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving
and enamelling: the engraved cases have
been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the
gold.

Tobacco and Color Blindness.
A Belgian physician has ascertain
ed, during a tour of observation and
inquiry made at the request of the go
vernment authorities, that the very
general use of tobacco is the main
cause of color blindness ; and this af
fection is now occasioning no slight
anxiety both in Belgium and Ger
many, from its influence on railway
accidents, and also from the military
point of view. It is not surprising,
therefore, that these facts have led to
the issuing of orders in certain towns
of Germany, forbidding all lads under
sixteen tears of age from smoking in
the streets.
