A PRIVATE'S FIRST FIGHT. Y1VTD DESCRIPTION OP THE BAT TLE OF SOUTH MOUNTAIN. Tho First ChrRf-Hnw it Feel to bo in Hiit tie A Haml-to-Hanil KnifaRrmcnt, Were you ever in a battle? My first memorable experience was in that of 8outh Mountain, in 1S02, and then came Antictnm, three days Inter. I was then in my fourteenth year full of life, vipor and ambition. My regiment, the Twenty third Ohio, commanded by It. B. Hayes, had seen some eighteen months of hard service nmonptlie bushwhacker of West Virginia, but hud not yit passed through what mi;,'ht be termed" a first-class fight, and I was just dying to see one. Un doubtedly you will question my word when I say that only a few days before the battle of South Mountain a lad of my size was found in a lonely spot all by himself, and actually on "his knees in prayer asking his God to give him the opportunity to pass through at least one great battle. On the morning of the 14th of Sep tember, Burnside's corps, which formed the left whig of McC.;' Lan's army, with Cox's division of Ohio men in the lead (and the Twenty-third in the van of that division), moved from Middletown up the Rational road to the foot of South Mountain, when a brief reft was ordered. It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and very few of our men "di earned of the terrible storm that was nt that very mo ment brew ing on the hill tops before and above them. A few moments later and Simmons' battery stirred the air with a few shell? that were let loose on the mountain side, but, as they were unan swered, we thought nothing"of it. Then Ilayes was ordered to take his regiment up the mountain by an unfrequented road. We started off in lively spirits, but perfectly unconscious of the fun coming. The regimental band was ahead playing a spirited air. When near the summit of tho mountain some Confeder ates let into us to the extent of a dozen shots or so. This had the effect of bringing us to our senses. Our eyes opened, and we began to think that there was something unusually strange about the morning's atmosphere. Ilayes brought the regiment into lino by a quick flank movement, while the band most willingly marched to the rear. Then ordering a charge, we went into one of the most sanguinary conflicts through which the T cnty-third everpass ed. We could not s c our foe, for the moun tain was covered with laurel bushes so thick that it was impossible to see ten feet ahead of us. Hayes had hardly ordered the word "Charge!" beforf the enemy let a volley into us, which was followed by volley after volley, cutting down over a hun dred of our recimcnt within a verv few moments. iSever in after days did our men drop so fast as at the first charge at South Mountain, but rage carried us through, and in less than twenty minutes after the charge was ordered we had the enemy out of their first position and were driving them down the mountain slope. Just then Hayes received a wound ia his left arm, and although he wanted to stay with us he was compelled to be carried to the rear and be cared for. The command of the Twenty-third now fell on Major Comly. We had gained noth ing from our first charge, the enemy only fell back a few rods behind a still stronger position, w here they were able to give us more blows, which they did, but without the same tilling effect as before. . The first shock is always tho hard"st and is felt the keenest, the opening of a bat tle is always more terrible than any hour of the fight. t Ko matter how brave and daring a man is, tho first shot chills him more or less. After that tho battle is as nothing, lie neither sees nor hears the dendlv balls as they fly past and around him. lie thinks no longer past, present and future are as a blank. Friends and dear ones pass from his vision. His memory is dead, his soid lias fled. Ho is no longer him self, no longer a man, but a dangerous, passionate animal. He goes into the fight like a bull-dog, not caring or thinking of himself, but his prev. Ho is bound to conquer, and gives his life to the contest in forgetfulness of self. The moment the struggle is over he is himself again. He becomes the man, tho thinker, the reasor.er once more. The first charge wo mode was carried by our outrageous yelling and deafening cheers. The Con federates no doubt thought that the in fernal regions had broken loose. Kvery man yelled like a madman. It was Colonel Hayis' request that we should yell, and we did, and by it we won the first charge. This may seem to you extravagant, but it is a tact. Cheek is more powerful than steel. Tim noise of a cannon has more terrible effect upon men than the cun mm bull it,df l'owder and cheek rule the world. They are the supreme pods of man. A brave man will fight a tiger, but get down on his knees before a calf or an ass. Had the Confederates known our number at the opening, no doubt the Twenty-third would have been considerably worsted on its first charge, but our wild cheers foiled them, and after they had dosed us with a few volleys they guve way, fell back and took another stand. Again they made it red hot for us and og;iiii we won. This time it was face to face, bayonet to bayonet and life for life, lint we b at them buck. Heavens! how they fought us! It was nip and tuck. It cot blood ; but u hat of that we got the gWywe f.mght for. It cost life ; but whut is life without glory nothing. It was contest of steel.of bayonets, of men craed with excitement. One fellow bayoneted eV n of tho enemy. They made a t-er-e mt of him after the battle was over. Another killed four. They made a corporal of him within a month after the fiht. lb avens! that was the fiercest and grand -st charge made during the war. . I do i't remember much after the sec ond and third c harges. I became lost in the whirl of excitement. I can only rc ineniber that it wan hot that tho bullets flew thick uml fust that men dropped ofteu and quick from kiVes of cold.dead ly Iced from the touch of cold stinging H'cl.

Hot camomile bags often give relief to sufferers from neuralgia. They are made of linen lightly tilled with camomile blossoms; reject the stalks. When needed, place them on a tin plate in the oven, where they will becomo very hot but not burn. A child should be kept in the house six weeks after having had scarlet fever. This is the French as well as American rule. The disease is liable to be commu nicated on exposure sooner, and the kid neys are liable to become affected should the child be chilled. What to do in a case of burning, is an important piece of popular information. In the first place apply an alkali, and in the next place protect the part from the action of the air. If the burn is a small one apply bicarbonate of soda, or baking soda, in powder, thickly. The pain will be quickly relieved. A mixture of lime water and sweet oil, equal parts, is a good application to have in the house and is suitable for extensive burns.' It can be prepared by any druggist and at small cost. The following is said to be a sure cure for croup: Boil pigs' feet in water with out salt, and let it stand over night. In the morning skim off the fat (which will bo formed in a cake on top), put in a tin pan, boil until all water is evaporated, liottlo and keep for use. Give a teaspoon ful every fifteen minutes on the appear ance of tho first symptoms, and apply freely to the chest and throat, rubbing well. A celebrated physician says that a child cannot have croup if pigs' feet oilia administered at the first symptoms. Gisnntic Cuttlefish. The honor of setting as rest all doubts as to the great squid certainly belongs to Hev. M. Harvey, the learned and accu rate Newfoundland naturalist. In 1873, two fishermen were catching cod in Con ception bay, when they saw a shapeless mass floating on the water at a little dis tance. "Wreck, no doubt," they said to themselves; and as fishermen are not above salvage, they approached close to it, and struck it with a boat hook. In a second the supposed wreck developed sud denly into a fearsome monster, opened its huge, staring eyes ferociously with a ghastly roll, and snapped at tho boat hook with its huge bill or jaws. The men were so fascinated with terror that they could not move ; and before they had recovered their self-possession the creature .was full upon them, shooting out from its head several long, fleshy arms, and groping at the boat with them in its hideous fury. Only the two long tentacles succeeded in grappling it, and one of the men, seizing his hatchet, cut off both of them with a well-directed blow. The cuttle-fish then absconded promptly, which goes to prove that the race, though ill-tempered and savage, is cowardly when wounded. Unfortunately, one of the arms was'destroyed before ita scientific interest was known; but the other was brought to St. John and ex amined by Mr. Harvey, who found that the fragment alone measured nineteen feet. Professor Verrill considers that the total length of the animal must have been about sixty feet. Some months later Mr. Harvey came across yet another big cut tlefish. This time he was lucky enough to secure tho entire animal, and to get it properly measured, photographed and preserved in brine. The body is eight feet long and five feet round; the long tentacles are twenty-four feet in length, and the short arms 6ix feet apiece. Each of them has nearly a hundred suckers, and every sucker is provided with a living piston, by means of which the creature can create a vacuum the moment it touches its prey, and so re enforce its own powerful muscles by all the weight of the atmosphere and the ocean above the spot it thus fastens upon. "No fate could be more horri ble," says Mr. narvey, "than to be en twined in the embrace of those eight clammy corpse-like arms, and to feel their folds creeping nnd gliding around you, and the eight hundred discs, with their cold adhesive touch, gluing them selves to you with a grasp which nothing could 'relax, and feeling like so many mouths devouring you at the same time. Slowly the horrible arms, supple as leather, strong as steel and cold as death, draw their prey under the awful beak, and jiress it ngainst the glutinous mass which forms the body. The cold, slimy grasp paralyzes tho victim with terror, and the powerful mandibles rend and devour him alive." Another Newfoundland clergyman, Mr. Gabriel, measured two still larger squids, cast ashore at Lamaline in 1870, in one of which tho body was forty feet long, and in another forty-seven feet. Ant one of Mr. Harvey's informants measured a specimen which was washed up by the waves a little earlier, nnd found it to be eighty feet in length. Altogether, the cases collected by this able und very trust worthy naturalist conclusively prove that cuttlefish of perfectly colossal size do really occur in considerable numbers in' tho North Atlantic Cornhill. Incident at a Golden Woildinff. A touching little incident occurred at the Van Cleve golden wedding recently. One of the gifts to the bride of fifty years was a very pretty but old fashioned lady's gold watch, and it was observed that upon none of the presents did the general ami his wifa lock with fonder eyes than upon this. The story leafted out that this was the very watch which nearly fifty years ago, Lieutenant Van Cleve had presented to his bride. In the "tight times" which followed it was found necessary to dispose of the watch for "ready money," which was then a scarce article. And so the watch was sold. Tho purchaser had always sacred ly preserved it, and was able consequent ly, at the golden wedding, in make one of the most delightful gilts of the day. St. Paul Pionetr-Pren. An Editor's Offer.

Some Chinese pheasants were liberated in Oregon a few years ago, and now a new species of bird has appeared with the head of a pheasant and the wing and tail feathers of a grouse. Cases of severe colic from lead poison ing have been reported amongtailors and sewing womon. This is probably due to their habit of biting off and sometimes chewing threads of acwing silk which has been weighted with ace tate of lead. In Scrvia it is the custom to build the partition walls of houses quite thick, and 6ct stoves in tho walls half way through, so that they do duty in warm ing two rooms. The stove has no open ing in cither room, but is managed through an aperture in the wall. On the accession of James II., that monarch declared, without the formality of law, the charter of Massachusetts to be void, and appointed Joseph Dudley Jiresident of the country from Ilhode Island to Nova Scotia. The people of England, misinformed by their rulers, approved the measure, nnd the tone of society there was one of contempt for the plantations. The magnificent Castle of Windsor was built by Edward III. (1327-1377), and his method of conducting the work may serve as a specimen of the condition of the people in that ngo. Instead of en gaging men by contracts and wages he assessed every county in England to send him a eertain number of masons, tilers and carpenters, as if he . had been levy ing the army. It is not generally knownihat the hand travels as fast if not so far as the foot. An ingenious calculator has been setting down the record of its progression. A rapid penman writes thirty words a min ute, and in doing so, what with curves and turns of the pen necessitated by very word, not to mention crossing his "t's," draws his pen through sixteen feet of space. In forty minute his pen travels a furlong. Thus many persons who do not walk on all fours progress three hundred miles a year with their hands, or rather with one hand. Inventor of the LIghtnlng-Rod. One of our German contemporaries de voted' recently some space to the experi ments of one Frocopius Diwisch, and de tails a number of interesting devices pro duced by him. Among them the lightning-rod occupies a prominent position, and Diwisch's biographer claims for him tho priority of invention in this field, on the strength of the fact that he erected such a ccntrivance in his garden in 1754. So far as dates are concerned Diwisch can by no means bo counted as the original Jacob in the lightning-rod business, as the thing had been done some time bs fore by several others, and the idea of drawing sparks from the clouds had been suggested by Franklin in 1740. Indeed, records shew that before Diwisch's date two houses in Philadelphia were struck by lightning during a thunder storm, and the one protected by lightning-rods was not injured, while tho other was severely damaged. We might enter- more into the details of this question, but priority claims on modern inventions must now be handled so frequently that ourn aders will pardon us for refusing to dig up dead issues. Justice must be done though tho heavens fall, but sometimes the wish is heard faintly that the heavens would fall on a few of the men who had '4oe it oefore. "Electrical VTorld.

A treat many people are afflicted with Ca tarrh who do not know what alls them ; and a treat man? more continue sufferers who bight be cured. Thickenltgof the membrane which lines the nasal passage., thus making breathing diffi cult; a discharge from the nostrils, more or less copious, watery or thick, according- to the static of the diseaie ; a sense of fullness ia the head; a constant inclination to spit; and, la advanced cases, a dropping of intensely dls fusting matter into the throat, are a few of the prominent symptoms of Catarrh. Deaf ness, Inflamed eycs,neuralglc pains, sore throat and a loss of sense of smell, are very often caused by Catarrh. All then troubles are cured by Piso's Reme dy for Catarrh, Relief U had immediately after beginning Its use, but His important that It lie continued without intermission until the catarrhal virus is expelled from the system and healthy secretions replace the diseased action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly it is unreasonable to'ezpect a cure in a short time of a disease that has been progressing for months or years. This question of time is provided for in the putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It is so concentrated that a very small dose is directed. The quantity in one package is suf ficient for a long treatment, consequently the expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse for neplect nor reason for it but forgetf ulness. A cold in the head is relieved by an applica tion of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. The comfort to be got from it in this nay is worth many times the cost.
