j ‘‘Reminiscences of the Late War”
From 1861 to 1865.
Written by an ex-Confederate Soldier.
CHAPTER XIX.
While on the flank movement
around Hooker, Jackson, as stated
in the preceding chapter, was the
most vigilant man in the corps,
looking after every detail aod see
ing that the troops, artillery, and
wagon trains war e kept closed and
in proper marching order. In
fact he was on tip-toe. Anxiety
an d expectancy were at the high
est pitch, and doubtless every mo
ment was as an hoar to Jackson.
He feared detection, but knew if
be could succeed in making his
contemplated movement Hooker
would be doomed to defeat, and
this was an incentive to him to
push forward. In the midst of
his anxiety, and while he thought
he was moving along with reason
able speed and safety he was sud
denly dumbfounded at seeing just
ahead of him and just in front of
Maj. Gen. D. H. Hill’s division
which was leading the van, a small
train of forage wagons, in charge
of a corporal, with a squad of men
acting as guard. Standing in the
road, the fron t team bogged in the
mud, he galloped forward to as
certain the cause. The corporal,
knowing Jackson’s precision and
imperiousness of will, undertook
to forestall him, and as soon as he
was in speaking distance, accosted
him, thus: “Well, General, we of
ficers have a hard time in this war,
don’t we.?” “Well, I don’t know’'
responded Jackson, dismounting,
“are yon an officer?” “Yes sir.
“What’s your rank?” “Corporal,
sir.” “Well, Corporal, you can’t
curse this team out of the bog, (the
corporal was cursing wildly and
furiously when Jackson rode up.)
a nd 1 hope yon will not allow.yonr
official rank and dignity to so in-
tervene as to prevent yon from
rendering your country the ser
vice it so much needs at this par
ticular juncture. You will there
fore please dismount, Corporal,
and take hold of that front wheel
over there, and I will take hold of
this oDe, and yon will please in
struct as many of the men in yonr
charge as can well do so to take
hold with us, and also take hold
of the hind wheels, and when the
teamster gives the mules the word
to pull, we will all lift and enable
the males to carry the wagon" ont.”
This geut'e, but stern reprimand
had the desired effect on the selE-
idolatrous corporal. The wagOD
was taken ont of the bog and the
train moved on, and the crest-fal
len corporal went his way a wiser,
if not a better man. The little cor
poral, in charge of a little' train of
wagons, and a small sqnad of men
as guards, felt his official impor
tance more than Gen. Jackson,
npon whose shoulders rested the
fate of the Confederacy just at
that particular time, felt his, and
we meet with many such things in
every-day life. But to the sub
ject:
After Hooker had retreated
across the Bappabannock, and it
was known thatiu his shattered
condition "be would not attempt
another advance soon* Lee with
drew from Chancellorsville to near
our recent winter quarters aod en
camped, and at once began to re
cruit and reorganize his army.
It was said that Jackson request
ed just before bis death that Maj.
Gen. Ewell, then on cratches, hav
ing lost his right leg above the
knee at Melvern Hill, the previous
year, should command bis corps,
after bis death.

An Uncertain DIkuc.
There is no disease more uncertain in its
nature than dyspepsia. Physicians say that
the symptoms of no two cases agree. It is
therefore most difficult to make a correct
diagnosis; Ho matter how severe, or under
what disguise dyspepsia attacks yon. Browns’
Iron Bitters will cure it. Invaluable in all
diseases of the stomach, blood and nerves.

Ccenb’s theory on the composi
tion of children has the advantage
of presenting certain charms and
of suggesting several others. No
snger, he says, and no girls The
idea would have fascinated Scho-
penhaur. Could he have foreseen
it he would have rearranged his
scheme for the extinction of hu
manity. Schopanbaar did not like
girls. They are long of hair, he
said, and short of thought. There
is ,he added, but oue disagreeable
woman in all the worjd, yet how
carious it is that every man secur
es her as wife. This is very vi
cious of course. Even otherwise,
it would be difficult to get alou g
without the ladies. Besides,
when they are pretty they put boa-
quets in one’s thought. There is
the point. Dr. Chenk’s- 1 theory is
all very well as far as it goes, but
it does not go far enough. If su
gar makes girls, how many bonboos
does it take to make a beauty ?
Dr. Schenk neglects to state. The
omission is regrettable. Self-re
specting parents are concerned
about the appearance of their off
spring. Nice looking children are
nice to’ have around the house.
When they cease to be children
they become, as a fond father once
remarked, disagreeable acquaint
ances with a claim cn yon. It is
not so much the gender, therefore,
as the quality. The ability to preed-
termiue the one should be supple
mented by a receipt for producing
the other. Dr. Schenk should not
stop there, either. The world, par
ticularly this sectien of it, needs
something more. If imperialism
presupposed au empire, empire
presupposed an aristociacy. The
coustitaeots of the latter are beau
ty in woman and intellect in man.
As a consequence, what we need to
know is not merely how to tell girls
from boys, but how to supply the
first with good looks and the second
with brains. Then will come the
real nobility. After that the del
uge.

Anger a Disease.
An English jourhal thus com
ments on the injurious effects of
aDger: “Anger serves the unhappy
mortal who indulges in it much
the same as intoxicants constant
ly taken do the inebriate. It
grows into a sort of disease
which has various and terrible re
sults. Sir Bichard Quaiu said
not long ago that. . “He is a man
very rich indeed in physical power
who can afford to be angry .” This
is trne. Every time a man be
comes white or red with anger he
is in danger of his liftf. The heart
and brain are the organs mostly af
fected wen fits of passion are in
dulged in. Not only does anger
cause partial paralysis of the small
bloodvessels, but the heart’s ac
tion becomes intermittent—that
is, every now and then it drops a
beat—much the same as is experi
enced by excessive smokers.”

head. He wants mannal as well
as mental training. Under exist
ing circumstances when the aver
age pupil comes out of the public
schools, if he (or she) cannot se
cure employment at clerking, teach
ing, or some similar business,
there is no alternative bat to start
afresh in some new school of expe
rience in which a trade or profes
sion can be learned. It almost al
ways occars that when a youth
applies for employment he is ask
ed, “What do you know how to
do?” and his answer is more than
apt to be, “Nothing; I am just oat
of school.” What the youth has
learned at school is of no practical
value to him at that moment. He
is not wanted, because while his
head has been tanght, his hands
are ignorant, and it will be neces
sary for them to go to school for a
greater or less length of time be
fore they can be of value to an
employer.

Most children are natural and en
thusiastic. builders- The idea of
making something is fascinating
to them. An hoar or two of manu
al exercise each school day would
prove restful to the young mind
and invigorate it for the task in
mental exercise, and the practical
knowledge thus acquired would at
least lay the foundation for future
bread winning. In Switzerland
and Germany, where manual train
ing in the schools is a prominent
feature of the educational systems,
the pnpil is competent to earn a
living as soon as he leaves the
schoolroom. The boys become
mechanics and builders and the
like, while the girls are able to
turn their bands at lace making
and a hundred other money win
ning occupations.
Georgia has immense wealth in
raw materials. Skilled workers
are wanted to utilize them. We
have the raw material here from
which to make the skilled workers,
and tbe schools should be tbe fac
tories to turn them ont. One cen
tral technical school is not suffi-
cientforour needs. Each public
school should be a minor techni
cal school in itself, as well as a
feeder for the larger and more
pretentions technological institu
tions. Such is Mr. Glenn’s opin
ion, and it is worth carefnl consid
eration.
Millions Given Away.

away over ten millions trial bot
tles of this great mediciue and

it has absolutely cared thousands

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.
Exchange.
People are diveded in opinion as
to the best way to keep sweat p >
unnecessary
pains, soma put them in hills aud
leave the top of the hill open to let
the air pas3 off, but this is not uec
essary. I never lose any potatoes
if they are in g? id order whau I
dig them. Is makes no difference
abmtths potatoes being dry, whan
pat up, for they sre going to sweat
any way. I have put them up in
hills when they were wet with rain
and have never lost any pota
toes. The place to keep potatoes
well is in the earth. Hills are
much better than cellars and box
es. What causes potatoes to rot is
haviug them alternately warm and
cold. Keep the potatoes at one
temperature all the time and they
will always keep, when eoverad up
with earth. Some growers in the
south put only five or six Inches^of
dirt on their bills; this is a bad
plan as we have warm spells and
the potatoes get warm from the
heat of the sun, then perhaps it
turns cold and they get chilled.
This getting alternately cold and
warm rots them. When the pota
toes are dug in the fall pat them
ap at once in hills of twentyfive
to thirty bushels each. Cover
with straw aud then set up around
the bills boards two or three feet
long—this leaves them in the shape
of a pyramid—then put at least oue
foot of dirt on the boards—more
is [better, and the potatoes will
neither get warm nor cold during
the winter, and in the spring you
will not have two dozen rotten po
tatoes in the hill.

An effort is to be made, as soon
as Congress convenes, to have a
law passed to raise the strength of
the regular army to not less than
90,000 men, and possibly 100,000.
Adjutant General Corbiu says that
the latter number is what the
country ought to have, since it
is assured that it will be necessary
to keep troops in Cuba and Porto
Bico for some time to come, while
it is very probable that we shall
have to have an army in the Phil
