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

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.

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

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

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

"An I wo must give up this house?"
queried his wife.
"Yes."
"And move Inlo cheap apartments;

"Certainly. Can you bear up under

"Well, I won't put It that way. I'll
