C'oi:i:r.sfo.M)i:NT. Sot-i-herx I'i.vls. N.i, April II'. I always take delight in listening to two old soldiers when they begin com paring nolcs and swapplns incidents of the clays when hard tack was a luxury a'ld salt pork :v necessity. The conver sation becomes nil the more interesting If the two ex-soldiers happen to have been lighting on different sii'es. First they begin by referring to the Hag of truce that waved at foiue placo and period, and then they speak of how they snapped tob.v-eo for coffee. corn whisky for beef, nnd whatever the boys of one side had that tlio boys of the other side hadn't, hut wanted lo have. The soldiers, or "boys," met under the white (lag as common sufferers, and until the ttuee ended they were friends. Afler thai but that Is neither here nor there. Then follow Incidents of particular battles, many of them unknown to the historians of tlio day and time, but in teresting as ilio pages of romance. l'robibly the two veterans will In dulge In a Utile song ringing. If so.the listeners are sure to hear something that w ill Interest and please them. I shall never forget hearing an old veteran of the second war with Kngland sing a song about one of the battles I ' which Im fouzht. He told a story, loo of how, during the progress of a battle, he watched a certain clump of bushes from which at regular Intervals n puff of blue smoke arose, Invatlably followed by the killing or wounding of one of his comrades. Finally he estimated from the position of the blue pull of smoke w hern I he heart of the ono who pulled the trigger must be, and taking careful aim. Immediately nfler one of the fatal puffs of smoke, he scut a bullet on Its mission. 'fhere were no more pulls of smoke from that bush. An order to "retreat" came shortly after, and it was the last he sa'w of the field of camago until ten years afterward when ho visited the old battle-ground In company with others, no had no dlllicultv in recognizing the locality of the hush nt which he had fired, and going there he found the bones of a skeleton, whlto and ghastly, lying beneath tho shade. Among the scat tered bones were lying two old-fashioned flint-lock muskets. One was empty. Tlio other one had caked powder In the pan. Tills he knocked out, and filling the pan with new powder he raised the hammer and pulled the trigger. Tho flint responded to the steel. There was a flash, nn Instant's interval, and then the musket, that had been loaded ten years before, belched forth Its "pent-up I Ullcn," If I may be allowed such nn or iginal (y) expression, nntl ns the sounil went echoing and re-echoing among the '"uuihuim s,rm, uiuuuiiei iiiancn jears How little the people of the Noitlu kiiuw ui vue-uuseiiiai ni-ie sung ui tue l IT' '"l FnrPain nut ntinin a.v 1 firTAR homes of the Southern people n quarter of a century ago. And yet, those songs nre a "part nnd parcel''' of tho Innumer able events that go to makeup the warp and woof of national history. "Yankee Doodle" has a part In Amer ican history as prominent, almost, as has .Gen. Washington or thoplucky Putnam. Contemporaneous with this song that lias iiecn sung by many millions arc other songs that live only In the hearts of the singers or the listeners. They blossomed for a day like tho magnificent morning-glory that bedecks the humble cottage of the farmer, and were almost as soon' lost sight of In the crowding cvcnls of immutable Time. "I shall never forget, the nights I spent In camp on tho Iiappahannock" said an ox-confederate soldier, with a pleasant smile nnd a kindly eye, to the writer the other day. nesald: "Quiet nights, before the tattoo nnd taps, it was nothing unusual for a Union band net oss the river to play "Yankee Doodle." No sooner would tin strain? die away on the liver than our band would respond with "Dixie's Land." Then the hand across the liver would play "Dixie's Land,"' and our boys in turn would play "Yankeo Doodle." This musical duel would enlist the at tention of the armies on both sides of the rivet, the champions of tho bauds cheering the players on to do tlielr very best." But I set out to write about tho war songs that were sung here n quartet of a hundred years ago. I wanted to say something about the songs that became famous, and others that perhaps were never heard of beyond the localities and camps that originally sun; them with the greatest of gusto and pleasure. The singers of the long ago now meet on fields of a far different character. Tlio man in blue nnd the man In gray now "drink from the same canteen." They nre associated in business enter prises together, and having buried the principle over which they followed their respective leaders to battle, they now can laugh and joke over the days that are past, and raise their voices together In tongs of peace. The man front thoNorlh can here find a hearty welcome. IlisSoutherii breth ren can offer him the finest climate in the wot id. He can find land that is easy to till, and so cheap that It seems like n gift.' He finds long growing seasons, and conditions for home building nnd home owning that cannot help pleasing him. He finds heie that It Is possible to escape the grinding, grinding, grind lng of ihe wheels of toll, whose ceaseless motion makes a tiresome and never ending music from the beginning to Ibe ending of tlio jears that roll over his head In his Northern home. Anil nowhere. In the South can he find better advantages than he can find In Old North Slale, which Is even now taking lank among the foremost pio ditcing states of the Union. F. P. Woobvv.viin. Broadbrira's New Yurk Letter Special to the (.'aki.on Aiivocati:. Once mora (ener.il Alexander Shaler has been placed in deadly peril, nnd If Iheie Is any number of men In New Ymk who rejoice at his probable down fall I nin not one of them. I never knew the man personally; never ex changed a word with liim though I have known him ns a public man ever since the war. He woiked his way up from a humble position to the rank of a Major-fleneral In the Ameiican army. It was by woik good, square, honest work, and the faithful and zealous per formance of his duty in whatever station he was cast, and for the last twenty years he has been one of the foremost men in the inllllia organization of t lie Slate, being almost regarded by the gteal holy of our military men as an ollicer of the regular army, no not only had the confidence of onr business men and politicians hut ho enjoyed Ihe perioual friendship of most of tlio offi cers of tho regular army, and when any of them visited New York they were nl ways as glad lo share Ids hospitality as he was to extend It. There was hardly a position In tho gift of the city that was not open to liim. Ills poillion In the militia gave him unbounded Influ ence in everything connected with its welfare and administration. Some new armory sites were lo be purchased and the accusation Is, that for a bribe ot SO.000 which was given him In the shape of a satisfied mortgage, he sold his opinion and by that sale, enabled otic YV llsou, who gave the bribe, to fleece the city out of S-10,000. Wilson the rascal, who says he gave the bribe, acknowledged that lie perjured himself on a former trial and confesses that It Is to save himself from State's prison that he now retracts his former confes. slon. On the face of It, If the scoundrel Wilson is to bo believed, backed by the collateral evidence of the satisfied mort gage. It looks dark for General Shaler, hut I hope and trust that he may be able to make his Innocence clear as the sunlight and spotless as the mountain snow. I shall think worse of myself nnd all tho world If he be convicted. A mere disagreement of tlio jury, though It may afford a legal avenue of escape, will leave his character tainted and smirched, and tho memory of this trial will haunt him to his grave. As an instance of swift retribution the capture, trial and conviction of the "Sharp Gang" stands almost without a ptrallel in our criminal calendar. About two months a so a respectable married woman of this city visited Brooklyn and -went out to see some friends nt Green - wood, near the cemetery. It was dark ; when sue started back, and very un- In tho city, and has long been the rcsurt oi uutliw, rutllaiH and tblfvr, of whom Ihn bravest of our police stood In dread. The lady In passing n lonely plaeo was seized by several of the gang, dragged on to a little tugboat nearby brutally outraged by the villains, nnd In nddltlon to the shocking haibarltv they robbed her of her purse nnd all of her clothes nnd then left her for dead upon tho wharf. Tho wretched woman 'dragged herself to a house sonic distance off and word was sent to tho nearest police station, and In a few days twelve members of the gang were captured and most of them were Identified by the woman. Six were tried last week.cvery one was convicted; they were sentenced to fifteen years each nt hard labor in State's prison. Brooklyn breathes freer for their absence, though,, like Smith's razor strops there ate still a few moic of the same sort left. The magnificent gift of n quar'er of n million of dollars by the late H II.' Vnnderbllt's son to the new hospital founded hy their father, with the mag nificent donation to the JIntrrnity Hos pital by Ills son-lndaw nnd daughter Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, makes their united gifts something overa million of dollars to hospital purposes alone. The gift, splendid us It is, is hemmed In and bounded by no narrow restrictions, but .Is free ns the air and the sun to the children of every cllme, complexion and degree. The only conditions are, that the unfortunate shall need Its aid and the best skill and the tendcrest treat ment that money can procure is given as free ns the air he breathes or the water that runs. Thinking over this splendid charity and Its far reaching blessings blessings that shall glorify humanity when I am undistinguished dust. I regret now that I have ever spoken an unkind word of him who leaves such a train of benlson nnd bless ing behind him. The journalist who writes from day to day the current events of the hour, cannot be expected to be infallible In his judgment; he has to take things as they .appear at the time not waiting for thedcepcr springs which time alono developes. Living, I may sometimes have judged W. II. Vander- bllt harshfully and wrongfully, but now when 1 see these benedictions rising fiom the ilea I man's ttravo I should be unjust to myself If I did not freely ad ml', that fiom present appearances. It looks s though the mighty accumula tions of the Vandcrbills were in good bands, and that when each member of the family, who now represents Its wealth anil power, shall have woiked out his own problem, New York for all nfterllme may rise up and call them blessed, and the name of Vanderbllt roll down through ages, not as millionaires, not ns railroad kings, but like A lion Hen Adhem, ns those who loved their fellow men. It was rather startling reading two weeks ago when we read of the Mrl.;cs in the West, but that was a thousand miles away. To-day, and we have it at our own door anil wo don t ll no It People are beginning to ask themselves "What Is it all about?'' In New York the principal grevlenee appears to be that some men don't care about joining tlio Union, and some had the timerity lo speak disrespectfully of tho Knights ot Labor. One of the employees of the Third avenue sin face road was asked to join and refused, ihey told him they mould make him, nnd he told them In general terms to go to Sheol. They then Insisted on his discharge, and the company refused to discharge him and twelve others who appear to be obnoxl' pus to the strikers but aie great favor lies with the company. On account of this row, which ought to have been settled out back of the stable according to the Marquis of QuainUcrs Miles, four or live hundred thousand people were compelled to walk to and from .heir work for miles, among them thou sands of weak women and children though It was fat men that did most of tho cussin. If Mulligan spoke disre spectfully of the Knights of Labor. what have I got lo do with that, why didn't some stalwart knight punch Mulligan's head and teach hint better manners. On Monday the streets looked like the entrance lo a church where a missionary collection Is expected. The streets were allye with policemen and they all carried their long night clubs, and from the determined manner In which they gripped them It was quite evident that they meant business. It looks ns though New York was to be made the battle ground; and as the greatest city in the Union, probably this is ns good place as any to settle this dis turbing question. Kvcry man who has either humanity or sense rccog'iizes the right nnd duty of labor to elevate, ameliorate nnd better Its condition, and to that end all combinations of working men arc necessary and justifiable. To receive falrcoinpensation for their labor, to regulate their hours of work, to co operate for mutual advancement and Improvement. All theso things com mend themselves to tho judgment of thinking men; but It Is perfectly abhor rent to our ideas of freedom lo say that an Individual or corporation should be comnelled to employ a person who has made himself offensive to them and whose presenco they could not abide. What kind of a free country would it be, if no man dared to question the edicts of tho Knights of Labor without the terrors cf the Boycott. Little Mrs. Gray in her humble baker fliop stands 1 tn-dav the chamnlon of as grand a 1 principle, ns that for which Hampton ' fought or Sidney died. This weak Htllo ' woman stands for free labor and tho 1 right of tho laborer to tho free nnd nn- 1 questioned disposal of ids own capital , bis labor. Mrs Gray's bakers were rscelv lng Union wages, wero working to join the Union and refused toilo so; tlifiUTilou demanded their immediate discharge. Mrs Gray refused to dis charge them, very properly, as thej were excellent baktjrs and she wanted them; then Boycott began. For several days great louts of men, travelled up and down In front of ibe doomcl bakery, requesting people not to go In and buy soiun weak and timid ones wcio terri fied at the tcrriblo name of "Doyco't." which seemed lo have nil the horrors of the old time Analhatna Maranatha. But the hearts of thousands rebelled at this mean oppression of a helpless woman, and money began to pout- in upon her from every State in the Union, and If the Boycott should fortunately continue, Mrs. Gray will bo cue of Ihe richest bakeiesses In New York. This Boy cotting Is a mean and disreputable busi ness, whatever virtue It may have In Ireland, It has no business In Free America, and I hope before this battle li ended It will he stamped out from every portion of tho United States. Passion week is supposed to be n sea son of sorrow and humiliation, but lo walk the streets these pleasant spring a'teruoons one would not think so. As the spring advances, new revelations of dress burst upon us; and as I gaze with wondering and admiring eyes, upon the angels that crowd the streets these warm and sunny days, I wonder If Solo mon In all his glory was arrayed like unto them. If you wnnt to hnvo a fnlnt idea how Ihey look, take a peep through a first class kaladeseope, and when you have turned It to a point where Ihe rainbow pales and the miracles of the prism look like a whitewashed wall then you nre remotely approaching the borders of that wonderland the spring dress and the spring hat. Tho weather Is delightful, the trees are bursting Into beauty. Stocks quiescent and trado fair. It Is evident that the detei mined stand taken by the authorities has preserved the peace, and eventually all questions between labor and capital will be settled, as it ought to be, by peaceful arbitration. BUOADBUIM. F.EAD THE ANSWER IN THE SKIES. Haiti follows two or three consecutive hoar frosts. A shower of hall in the daytime is usually followed by frost at night. A tinted halo around tho sun at set ting occurs In long continued rainy weather. I!ed-tlngcd clouds high up at evening, are followed liy wind, occasionally by rain. If, on a fine day, the dust suddenly rise in a revolving, spiral column, rain Is near. Itahilows are unreliable, except they occur In the morning, when rain may be eipected. A dazzling metallic lustre on foliage, during n cloudless day In summer, pre cedes a change. Sun-dogs and frigmcnts of prismatic colors during the. day show continued unsettled weather. No dew in tho motnlng Is mostly fol lowed by rain, nnd a heavy dew In the evening by a fine day. A halo around the moon, especially if some distance from it, is n suro iudlca tlon of downfall at baud. If after rain drops of water still hang on the branches and twigs and to window .frames the rain will return, but If they fall and tho wood work dries, fine weather Is at hand. Slones tuin damp before wet; at the same time It must be observed that the fact of tlielr doing so does not Invari ably Indicate rain, for they will do so occasionally before heat. If the skv be a dull gray, and the sun rises clear, gradually dispersing the va orVt will bo fine. If he retites behind fin clouds, and there are reddish streaks about, It will rain. Often n beautiful sunset will bo fol lowed by n bad day. After a rainy day, suddenly at sunset In tho far west will appear a magnificent jtreak of crimson, (not copper coloicd) this generally foretells n fine dav. Mists at evening over low-lying ground or neni a liver precede line and warm days. If a mist In the morning clears off as the sun gets higher, It will bo fine.but If It settles down again after lifting a little, rain is at hand. The man who Is out of doors at tun rlse can form a pretty accurate opinion of what the day Is to be. If just before sunrie tho sky, especially In the west, Is suffused with red. rain generally fol lows in the course of tho day. In win ter, often snow. Huge plled-up marss of white cloud In a blue sky, during winter, Indicate snow or hall. If small, dark clouds float below the upper ones, moving faster than the)-, rain will follow, as It will If, In the morning, low, hanging, pale brown, stnoke-llkc clouds are float ing about.

"Yes." "And move Inlo cheap apartments; disappear from our circle of society?" "Certainly. Can you bear up under it for my sake?" "Well, I won't put It that way.
