Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.
July 13th 1861
The sound of cannon in the dis
tance is still indistinctly heard af
ter the battle, and after the death
of our lamented Garnett; bot the
guns of our army still'’ retreat
ing, or, like the wounded stag
driveo-to bay, turning to fight its
pursuers, and those of McClellan
still urging the chase and attempt-
iag.the enforeeinent.of surrender,
would seem to commingle and mat
ter as a common whole, or as the
noise of some fresh coming rain
and wind storm. The keen sense
of hearing is strained to extreme
tension by every soldier to hold
the last dying notes of onr 'com
rades being driven farther and far
ther away from us—the real into
the imaginary, leaving emotion
and .hazard to hold and struggle
with the situation. Indeed the in
tervening mountain spurs how seem
to catch the sound as wafted from
the guns, either forcing it into the
mountain gorges, or whirling it
back around it’s top and down the
valleys leading away instead of to
Us, ’till now we are left to the full
realization of our destitution and
loneliness, or as the sole architects
of our own safety.
The qui vive of the soldier lapses
into the listless solitude of self,"or
info his own communions with the
perhaps immediate sharp and spir
ited flash to death with the enemy,
or the fate of the more remote fu
ture hanging irr the balance.
In the interim, between the re
cession of the two armies, the one
driving and kicking the other
through the mountains, the dying
away of the clash of arms at the
ford, the subsidence of the rain
and thunder storm which had pre
vailed, or during the painful si
lence mow brokctTUnly by the drip
ping rain drops through the leaves
of the forest, the forlorn battalion,
scouts and rear- guardsmen but
align themselves in solid phalanx
for defense or death,, as it slowly
and cautiously edges back, or re
treats to the top of the mountain
spur overlooking Carrack’s Ford.
The struggle between despon
dency aud manhood, between hope
and desperation, still war for the
mastery in doubt and uncertainty,
or, in resignation, to solve the com
posite problem this dreary Satur
day evening for the ’morrow.
Each soldier still holds his
thumb upon the hammer and his
finger upon the trigger of his mus
ket, as half crouching .he watches
the. coming of the foe, perhaps
creeping through the densa forest
all around us, resolved to sail him
self at the highest market price of
war.
The field below, which lies strewn
with broken plumes,'silent mus
kets,overturned nnd smashed wag
ons, dead horses and dead men,
can only be seen in the vividness
of imagination through the inter
vening forest—as likewise what, if
any,, chance of deliverance and safe-
ty- '
Home, sweet home,” rises up as
a spectre or vision to be seen and
realized no more forever, and the
internal weeping of the soldier is
hidden only- by the manhood "and
courage that must uphold .and sus
tain him to the end. The voice of
duty, which all along had cried
aloud to sustain, now becomes snb-
.servientto that of self-preservation
or only to aid desperation in find
ing some means of escape, or to
jump the impending sentence hold
ing over us.
The glaring eyes of starvation
holds it’s, steady gaze upon us from
every point of the compass, and
the very mountains themselves,
seem to shout back around to each
other in derisioh and glee at onr
awkward and precarious condition.
The Great Captain of the Uni
verse seemsjfco have hidden Him
self behind the clouds or wandered
away to watch the result of the
chase between the shattered army
of the dead cheiftain and McClel
lan^
No sun to guide; no nymph to
teach' divination. No Thracian
Harpalyce to be seen gliding
through the • woods behind her
foaming steeds, to give us an inti
mation, or riding bv as a hantress,
with commodious bow hung from
her shoulders, with flowing- hair,
saving: “So bo, youths, declare to
me if you have seen any one of my
sisters by chance, A here waudering,
girded with a quiver and with the
skin of the spotted iynx, or with an -• if iubtantly recognizing the
outcry urging the chase, of the
foaming boar,” whom we might
follow to restitution and safety, or
of whom to enquire: “Whoever
you.are, may you be fayorableio us
and ease our solicitude.” We are
stranded in the mountains without
subsistence, without guidance,
driven hither by McClellan, who
seems to have forgotten ns alto
gether, or left ns, perhaps uninten
tionally, to battle with hunger as a
foe sufficiently powerful to con
quer in the end.
But none of the dear mythology
cal creatures drove or rode our
way that sad and lonely Suturday
evening; and as the conviction ful
ly settles npon ns that McClellan
hadoverlooked, or failed to observe
that we were in the thick mountains
hopelessly cut off from our army,
and apparently from the living
world, each.soldier begin to cast
abont for a solution, or for some
feasible plan or road to escape and
sustenance. Begins to look out in
to the surroundings to ascertain if
all had been a dream, or indeed,
had become a “dread reality.”
reality wanting iu everything that
would tend to re-assure and light
en the oppressive burden upon the
mind, or that held not a single sign
of Jippe, but iu chance to begin,
and in chance to continue to the
end. Begins to look around at his
comrades, at himself, alas! to find
the whole as wanting as the situa
tion, or as a forlorn hope withont
leader. Begins to question bim-
elj where and how to start, or in
what direction to go. Begins to
examine his own pulse and brain
ascertain if normal or abnormal
competent or incompetent to
solve the difficult problem. Begins
pry here and yonder for one of
company, a famaliar face, a friend
from boyhoefd, o companion in
deed, or to discover if perchance
himself a stray sheep in a strange
fold—a leader for self alone, or to
be led by the broken whole.
All 1 these varied and mnltiform
questions and answers crowd thick
and fast upon the mind of the sol
dier, only to hurry away in doubt
aud gloom for further considera
tion, or to the next soldier for ad
vice and consolation. My diary
says:
“Now fully convinced of no im
mediate attack, or that we are un
perceived by McClellan, I find my
self edging down on the end of an
old log, near tbe center of battalion,
just a little way off in tbe bashes,
and first calling to mind my two'
rear gnard companions, George
and Mack, who perhaps .might be
now lying cold in death, or serious
ly wounded on the field below;
again of the many of my company,
Southern Bights Guards, who
driven before McClellan, might be
scattered dead along the pike, or
to wander through the depths of
the mountain forest in hanger and
disconsolation, and again of my
own lonely condition, as it would
now seem to appear, no companion
of my company could be found in
the whole battalion, or perhaps half
tempted under emotion of the mo
ment to weep for relief (only .a
boy ) when to my ' gratification and
great delight is seen Clint Dun
can (who fell in the well, or was
drowned at Laurel Hill) moping
up from toward the left of battal
ion, prying here and yonder, evi
dently looking for some companion
crto-Satisfy himself of bis own
isolation^ At first sight of him,
covered almost from head to foot
with mud, I felt like shouting for
joy and at once calling aloud to
him, but suppressing the impulse
of the moment, decided to remain
incog, that I might for a moment
watch, to enjoy his woe-begone apt
pearance, gloomy face, and wistful
eyes playing from side to side of-
the battalion, as he moved on up
opposite where I was sitting out
in the bushes. My feelings went
out to him in sorrow and pity, and
my heart was full of love which
cannot be described, or such only
as desperate circnhistances and
surroundings can bring about.
Without doubt be was the most
battered (in appearance) specimen
of a soldier I had ever seen in my
life, and withal as ugly as a “mud
fence,” yet to me in this mo
ment of misery and pleasure, still
the prettiest soldier then to be
found in all Northwest Virginia.
But in silence, and nnknown to
him, I continued to watch- his ev
ery movement and expression of
the face (tookamindpictnre) ’till
he got opposite me (he now look
ed like he was crying and I think I
heard him mutter something like
Miss Eliza) and as about to pass
on, I called out: Hello Clint! As

be turned full toward 'me with a i
Bmile so bright that for a moment,
it seemed as ; though the sun had! Those who are disposed to criti-
snddenly burst through the thick i cise the Farmers’ Alliance on ac-
clonds and the heavy forest, apd, : count of their vigor and determi-
in the mutual joy of the moment
we were held captives to each oth
erand above our every sorrow.
We both sat ddwn together on the
old log, and forthwith began to
counsel together as to this thin
and the other one, how or what to
do, or which way to start.
Bnt.now comes Jim Bice stalk
ing along np the line; from toward
left of battalion, in. a dream so
deep that it seemed a pity to break
it, and occasionally running his
hand across his face (he afterward
said to wipe the mist • out of bis
eyes).
Clint and myself enjoyed his
discomfiture; haggard face and di
lapidated appearance ’till he had
poked up opposite us, when both
of us called -out: Hello .'Jim! and
who now sat nown on the old log,
perhaps the happiest man of the
trio.
We three began forthwith to dis
cuss the situation, when Lawrence
Felder is seen pulling through the
laureL bushes who seemed to have
his head set on no- particular place
or object, when we call out: Hello
Lawrence! who overjoyed came
and sat down on the old log, the
happiest man of the quartette.
We four begin to disenss the
situation, when suddenly Watt and
Bill Bainey are seen edging
through the forest in some other
direction, when tho whole quar
tette cry out: Hello Watt! Hello
Bill! who clapping their hands to
gether, come forward and sit down
on the old log, happier than all to
gether. -
We six begin to discuss the situ
ation, when Zeke Ezell is seen
slipping through the bushes
(where we intimated he had been
hiding, though he said it Was a
lie) -looking like a piece of bursted
pomposity, or like he had not a
single friend on earth, when the
whole of us squall out: Hello Zeke!
who sneaks up to sit down on the
old log, apparently the happiest
man now of the lot, of in his hy
perbolical style undertaking to ex
plain away his untoward surround
ings; or indeed to engage in a gen
eral spat at random with the whole
crowd in imitation of the nine
blackbirdsjon the fence rail.
Now one, two, three, four, five,
six, seven hungry soldiers in a row
.on the same old log, but still in
the woods—still on a rotten bark,
so to speak, without a rudder, jast
ready to formulate a plan or begin
in earnest the - solution of the knot
ty problem. For a moment now'
every soldier glances in silence at
the other, as if for some sugges-

Tho Lemon a Complete Medicine
Chest.
St Lonia Star-Sayings.
“If people only knew it,” said an
old physician recently, ^'there’s a
whole drugstore full of remedies
contained in a single lemon. I
don’t think its virtues as a healer
have half been discovered. From
the time when the elder Pliny held
the lemon to be poisonous to the
present day it has grown steadily
in professional esteem.”
Give a few instances, doetor, of
itshealing properties.”
“Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic known. It not otily cures
scurvy, but prevents it. It will, if
rubbed upon the gums, keep them
in healthy condition. The .hands
and nails are kept clean, white,
soft and supple by the daily use of
lemon instead of soap. It prevents
chilblains. In intermittent fevers
mixed with strong black coffee,,
without sugar, it has come to be re
garded almost as a specific Neu
ralgia is often cured by rubbing
the part affected with a cat lemon,
vlt cures warts. It cures dan
druff as well 4s any other known
remedy by rubbing the roots of the
hair with-it. It is suitable for near
ly alkthe ordinary troubles, and in
cases of liver complaint aud grav
el.
And the old practitioner ended
by saying “There’s magic in it.”
Yon-can never know till yon try,
how quickly a - dose of Ayer’s Pills
will cureyoutsick headache. Your-

nation in demanding governmental
reform and.tariff legislation which
will give the agricultural and la
boring masses relief from -the on
erous burdens which are crashing
them, only superficially consider
the facts which led up to this point.
For years the masses have been
crushed -with legislation antago
nistic to their prosperity and. hap
piness. Taxation has piled on
taxation, the fruits of their labors
have gone to • enrich the favored
few, and it has.bnilded up a plu
tocracy unequalled by the mon
archies of‘the old world.
The following facts, which are
taken from the columns of the
Washington Post, Show the condi-
tion.of affairs in this republic. The
Post says
For the next two years our gov
ernment will spend annually more
than $500,000,000.
To pay one year’s expenses of
the government it will take nearly
the combined wheat and oat crop.
“Oar annual output of gold, sil
ver, copper, iron, coal, petroleum
and lead will not foot onr tax bill
for twelve months.
“Nor can we do it with a year’s
product of cotton,wool, rye, barley,
wine, potatoes and tobacco.
' “The combined capitalization of
our national banks is §599,000,000.
One year’s taxes will nearly swal
low it up.
“Now, all this is the federal tax.
We have also to pay city, county
and state taxes.
“We pretend to be a nation of
plain people, with no aristocracy,
no standing army and expensive
frills, and yet our taxes are more
onerous than those of Austria,Ger
many or Great Britain.”
Is not this a startling exhibition
of the tremendous load the masses
have borne? Is there any evuse
for wonder that the agricultural
aud laboring classes, viewing the
wrongs which have been done
them, are upon the eve of a revo
lution, aud have beeu driven al
most to desperation by a conscious
ness of the injustice wich has been
done them?
The Borne Tribune, commenting
upon the startling array of figures
and facts quoted from the Post,
says:
“The people must have relief, or
there will be trouble—serious, and
immediate trouble. There must
be a return to the simpler and
more economic administration of
the government, or there will be no
government to be administered.
Here is work for the democrat
ic party which is laid npon it by
the oppressed people of the coun
try, and that party dare not shirk
the responsibility or turn a deaf
ear to the cry of distress.
“There is restlessness and dis
content, and justly so, among the
farmers of the conntry. Years of
grinding oppression have been
.their lot. Years of toil without
just remuneration have been their
portion- These are ncridle words.
They are words of truth add so
berness, and the party of the peo
ple, the democratic party, cannot
afford to treat with negleet, or con
tempt, or indifference, the stern
determination of the brave and pa
tient men who make uff the great
nrray of the Farmers’ Alliance, to
to have justice meted out to them
by the democratic party, or outside
of it”

His Leg Was Broken.
1 Officer Kennedy last night found
a man lying on the sidewalk near
Blue Island avenue and Twelfth
street who writhed-in agony, says
the Chicago Times, and moaned
piteously that his leg was broken.
He said he had oeen run down by
a street car. Officer Kennedy call
ed the Maxwell street wagon and
ordered the sufferer removed to
the connty hospital. He was lift
ed .gently into the wagop, and three
officers carried him into the exami
nation-room at the hospital. He
stretched oat on a cot and called
feebly for morphine. Dr. Graves
harried down stairs with his phy
sician’s case in hand. With a pair
of scissors he cut the trousers leg
covering the injured member. The
fractured bone could be* plainly
seen by the impression through
the cloth.
“It’s a bad fracture,” soliloqozed
the doctor. “Halloa, what’s this?
Bounce that fellow out of here!”
he ordered angrily. “I wonder if
he thinks this is a wooden leg fac
tory.”
The man'raised up at the doc
tor’s remark-about “a 'wooden leg”
and inspected his fractured limb,
Darned if ypa ain’t right,Doc,”
he said, “my wooden leg is broken
square in two. Darned if it didn’t
hurt worse than a real lsg. Got
some strings, any of yon fellows?”'
The fellow’s wooden leg had
been broken and imagination did
tbe rest. He was . provided with
-strings, and, tying the parts to
gether, hobbled off "with a-smile.
