An Incident of the Battle of
Sharpsburg.
The Century Magazine of Juno 1880
contains a paper on Gen. Lee’s inva
sion of Maryland, written by Gen.
Longstreet. During the great battle
of Sharpsburg, in which 37,000Confed-
erates held their ground against 90,000
Federals, a singular incident occurred
in which Gen. D. H. Hill was the
principal participant. The writer
ays:
During the progress of the battle
of Sharpsburg General Lee and 1
were riding along irfv line and l>. II.
Mill’s when we received a report of
movements of the enemy and started
nthe ridge w> mklte a reconnois-
s inee. (ifeneral Lab und T dismount
ed, but Hill declined' to do so. i said
to him, “If you insist bii riding up
there and drawing the fire, give us t
ittle interval so that we maw not. be
in the line of the lire when they open
upon you.”
General Lee and I stood on the top
of the crest with our glasses, looking
at the movements of the Federals on
the rear left. After a moment I turn
ed my glass to the right and the Feil-
e.al left. As I did so I noticed a puff
of white smoke from the mouth of a
cannon. “There is a shot for you,”
I said to General Hill.
The gunner was a mile away, and
the cannon-shot came whisking
through the air for three or four sec
onds "nd took off the front legs of
the horse that Hill sat on and let the
animal down on his pegs. The horse's
head was so low and his croup so high
that Hill was in a most ludicrous po
sition. With one foot in the stirrup
he made several efforts to get the
other leg over the croup, but failed.
Finally we prevailed on him to try
the other end of the horse and he got
down. He had a third horse shot un
der him before the close of the battle.
That was the second best shot I ever
saw. The best was at Yorktowon.
There a Federal officer came out in
front of our line, and sitting down to
his little platting table began to make
a map. One of our officers carefully
sighted a gun, touched it off, anil
dropped a shell into the hands of the
man at the little table.

Honors to the Memory of Judge
H. K. MoKay.
On Tuesday last in the Supreme
Court, the committee appointed to
prepare suitable memorial resolu
tions in memory of the late Judge
McKay informed the court they were
ready to report and ex-Judge Robert
P. Trippe, a former judge of that
Court and Chairman of that commit
tee submitted the report. We note
that Judge McKay was a native of
Pennsylvania, and was born Jan. 8tli,
1820. The report is too long for pub
lication but we quote one sentence
which conveys much in few words,
viz: “The wise judge and learned
lawyer possessed a heart as gentle as
a woman’s—affectionate, generous,
liberal.”
The Macon Telegraph from which
wo gather the foregoing, says:
This memorial is signed by the com
mittee, It. P. Trippe, chairman; It. F.
Lyon, Joseph E. Brown, O. A. Loch-
rane, W. W. Montgomery, A. M.
Speer, R. H. Clark, J. W. H. Under
wood, B. F. Abbott.
Judge Trippe, who had been a close
friend of the deceased, and intimate
ly associated with him as an associate
justice on the Supreme bench, anil
subsequently as a law partner, read
a brief but most pathetic address,
in which he referred to Judge McKay
as his friend and the attachment that
existed between them.
Judge It. H. Clarke, of the Stone
Mountain circuit, followed him in u
eulogy of the life and character of
the deceased, which was eloquent,
scholarly and striking to a degree.
He read from manuscript, and per
haps no liner address has ever been
made in the Supreme Court room,
Its great length prevents its publica
tion here.
Chief Justice Bleckley responded
for the court and paid’ a high and
earnest tribute to the deceased,
whom he termed a great and good
man, saying that there is nothing
greater in this life than a good man or
a good woman. He ordered that the
memorial be spread on the minutes
of the court and a copy forwarded to
the family of tho deceased.

Washington Letter,
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Jan. 81, 1887.
Editor Union-Recorder:
The toilers on Capitol Hill confront
ed various questions during the past
week, some of whioh were impor
tant, while others were not so. A-
mong them were the fisheries trouble
witti Canada; woman suffrage; pen
sions; the bill establishing Agricultu
ral Experiment Stations; the bill pre
venting members of CongresB from
acting us attorneys for corporations
with which Congress has important
dealings; the Pleuro-Pneumonia bill;
the River and Harbor bill, anil sever
al of the other regular appropriation
bills.
The Woman Suffrage Association,
which has just closed its nineteenth
annual convention in this city, saw
the Senate Temorsely vote down their
proposed suffrage amendment to the
Constitution. But sixteen Senators
voted in favor of the ladies, anil that
was a great victory for them. They
have repeatedly seen both houses of
Congress vote against the considera
tion of the proposed amendment, but
this wns the iirst time they over hail u
vote on the amendment, itself.
A committee of twelve ladies, alt
prominent in the suffrage movement,
called at the White House to present
to tbk President a v.rLttnh ]Ujptgst
against that portion n'lho Utah bill
whiqh disfranchises the> gentile \Vb-
men of Utah. The Mormons lire 'ffl-
r*affy fclitffrdncljimd, mule And 1 female.
The 1'reSuUmt rifAeived the ladies
graciously, anil spoke n few word* t'o
each ns she wuW introduced to Imn.
Several of thorn made short arguments
in luvor of tho rights of Utah women
to whil they had been allowed to ex
ercise fot.iB teen 'years— tho franchise
—and urged t lie President to veto the
bill if itpa.-sesus it bow reads. Mr.
Cleveland ‘listened attentively, prom
ised to give tho uiattnr careful at ten
tion, and said ho had supposed the
women qf Utah did not. cure to vote
and did not vote, when they lutil a
chance. He shook hands with each
lady again at parting, mid after they
had been shown through tho suite of
parlors, the committee left the house
much pleased with the cordial manner
of the Chief Magistrate.
Ifc looks as if there is really to be a
change in the Cabinet soon, and that
two of the best officials in the Treasu
ry are to become president and vice-
president of the new National Bank
in New York. I refer to the Seere
tary of thiTTreasury and to the U. S.
Treasurer, Mr. Jordan. Mr. Manning
declines to say anything regarding
the matter, but it is generally believ
ed that he will offer his resignation to
take eifeot soon after the adjourn
ment of Congress. The contemplated
retirement of Treasurer Jordan at
that time is openly acknowledged.
While the President is compelled to
regret parting with these officers, he
is quoted as saying that he did not
like to assume the responsibility of
standing in the way of what lie re
garded as their self-interest. The sal
ary of Mr. Manning's new office will
be $20,000—more than twice that of
a Cabinet officer, and the position will
not require the continual strain nec
essary to fill the office of Secretary of
the Treasury. Besides the President
and the Secretary’s friends ure con
stantly fearful that his health will
again succumb to bis present onerous
duties ! “ 1 . . ' ’ , ii'V*
There is a clear case for a veto in
the drag-net pension bill which lias
passed the House und the Senate and
now goes to' the President. It pro
vides that nil persons who served
three months or more in the military
or naval service of the United States
in any war, shall he pensioned at the
rate of $12 per month if they are una
ble to earn a support because of phys
ical or mental disability. “Anything
to spend the surplus” appears to he
the motto of the Republicans of both
branches of Congress. This measure,
wuicli was rushed through the Sen-
atejwithout a roll-call, virtually cre
ates an annex to the Pension Bureau
because it offers gratuities to “dis
abled” ex-soldiers, without regard to
i any connection between their service
in the army and their present disabil
' ifcy.
| The bill would tuke unknown mil-
j lions out of the Treasury if it became
a law, for it also provides at tho rate
of $12 per month for the dependent
i relatives of soldiers who are not able
I to provide for them. This would be
| converting the Federal Government
into an institution for dispensing “out
i door relief,” and encouraging sliift-
I lessness among a class that might otlv-
i erwise be self-supporting.

Joseph Kirby, of the Salt Lake Tri
bune, who represents the anti-Mor
mon press of Utah, believes in the
alldgwl resurrection of Brigham
Young. That is, he says the burial
of the prophet was a fraud. He
states that before the so-called death
of the great Mormon a French model
er in wax sojourned for a long tune
in the house of the prophet, and made
an excellent wax figure of Young.
That the wax figure was buried as the
body of Young, and that a twenty
ton stone was placed on the “remiunH
to prevent any tampering with the
corpse. Two years later the It rench-
man who had returned to Paris ex
posed the fraud. The apostles of the
church always insisted that Young
would come to life, and were so con
fident that the Gentiles of Utah be
came convinced that theFrenchumn s
story was true. The Mormon dele
gate in congress, Hon. John T. Caine,
says the alleged resurrection IS a
“cock and bull story.”—Constitution.

every time somebody tetlsehe is beao-

such a dear fellow, but then lie is so
wretchedly poor, and one must wed a

I do not know where the fault lies
but that marriage among the better
bred people is becoming beautifully
less cannot be denied. That the ef
fect upou both sexes is demoralizing
is equally apparent. I know scores
of young men with brains and educa
tion who shun society and the fash
ionable young women for the reason,
that they well know that marriage
cannot be thought of until much later
in life with women in her sphere, and
to follow in her wake an admiring,
swain is a thankless and costly task,
fraught with more vexation than
pleasure. The result is that in most
large cities there are coteries of young
men—and usually the best ones, too
—who live rather fast lives, and in
consequence when they do marry, at
a late day, are unfit to be husbands
and fathers. I know scores of young
men who would be Willing to marry—
and in many cases it would be their
salvation—could they find young wo
men of equal social attainments who
would brave the struggle with them.
The lives of most of these young men
can be boiled down as follows: _ A
