————— —~eo Bellefonte, = The Soldiers Nobility Ochiltree Faced Twenty Thousand Strong Alone, But His Horse Died. The world-famous raconteur, Thomas P, Ochiltree, is never ata loss to adorn an otherwise commonplace conversation with a story of thrillius adventure, nar- row escape or humerous incident. Re- cently a number of men were telling of narrow escapes, when the colonel told of a close place he got into as follows: “Gentlemen, I was with General Dick “Taylor when he operated against Gen- eral Banks in the trans-Mississippi de- partment. It was shortly after the bat- tle of Pleasant Hill, and Banks was re- treating to Grand core. One day we got near General Banks’ army and Gen- eral Taylor asked me to head a squad- ron of cavalry and charge. I was mounted ona coal black horse, and when I rode out to iake command of the squadron I never thought to come back from the charge alive. We had to charge across an open field, a distance of one and one half miles. I drew my sword, put spurs in my horses sides and dashed forward, ordering the caval- ry to follow. Some twenty thousand of Banks’ infantry were drawn up in line just on the edge of the field awaiting an attack. Of course when I started I did not know that 20,000 men were waiting to give a warm welcome to a handful of cavalry When within 800 yards of the federals I raised in my stirrups and yelled to the squadron to follow me. I expected to hear each ~avalryman yell, but to my dismay all was silent. I turned to look, when, horror upon hor- ror! the squadron was over a mile from me in a swift retreat! I had been riding across the field alone, thinking they were right behind me. They had evidently seen the thousands waiting to pour a storm of shot into us and had retreated, ‘but Idid not see them as I am near sighted. Of course I saw them when I yelled. A gleam of bayonets extended for miles in front of me. My horse trembled. I held my breath expecting to be mowed down in a second. Turn- ing my horse I rode leisurely back and not a shot was fired at me. My horse died with nervous prostration half an hour after I got back. Why didn’t the federal army fire on me? I learned afterward that they were to fire, but no soldier was pusillanimous enough to shoot one man who had the courage to «charge 20,000 men. Gentlemen, I be- lieve in human natare and the nobility of the volunteer soldier since that event.” The Story of Dresden China. "The first hard porcelain made in Eu- rope—for majolica, Pulissy ware, and others of the sort are pottery, and not porcelain—was the lovely Dresden ware; and in that line nothing has ever been made to exceed its beauty. Its flowers, its ribbons, and ornaments, are perfec- tion in design and color; there is a rumor that real lace is’ put into the clay before firing for the parts representing lace, but how that vay be we do not know. It owesits existence to an acci- dent. The chemist, who had been im- prisoned by the Elector in order to find the secret of making gold and of the elixir of life, having come across some substance resembling porcelain in the bottom of a crucible, was unable to get it of a pure tint, till a rider one day found a peculiar white clay on his horse’s hoofs, which he had dried and sifted and sold for hair powder, and the un- fortununte chemist, using it and observ- ing its weight, experimented with it, and straightway the Dresden ware—or Meissen, as it 1s more correctly called— became a success, the first sculptors and ing| HN E 8 & B 1890.
