Tlio war w'iii-li I refer to was not nnft or thoso which wo havo latelv liad tinoii vui annua, nut, Hint wnu'li n tew voarg ;o i-ajpl so Ions, so fltTcelv. UtwoBii tho Northern and Southern States of Amenta. It was my fortune to servo on th" ri-dlcnl staff with a portion of the Northern army dtuiog moat of that ter rible struggle and it is neodlesw to s.iv that many perbonrd incidents camo under my notioe.-which will novcr leavo my inpinory.( Not ono of them, however, made so painful an impression urton mo as that which I am about to describe. Towards noon on tlio dav after ono of tliofiercostb.ittlesoftliowar, a vounzsol- dii r was brought iu from the battle Held, w lure by somo misclianco ho had been overlooked and abandoned, while com rades of his far less grievously wounded than he, had been sheltered and tended before nightfall. Tho poor fellow h.nl lain all night and during tlio long scorch ing hours of tho morning, amid heaps of dead, both men and horses, suffering from tho loss of an arm, and other wounds. An army surgeon is not as a rule a man prone ,to undue sentiment or to feminino softness at the sight of pliys ical suffering; I am not conscious of any weakness that makes mo an exception iu this particular. There was, howover, in tliis youth's expression of countenanco Gomelliing which struck mo irresUtihly, , and with tlio strong glanco of his largo bright eye, fixed my attention and awak ened my eager interest. He was a slen der youth, tall, yet gracefully made, with a head which, as tiie novelist phrases it, would bring ecstasy to tho soul of a sculp tor; and every feature molded to the true typo of manly beauty. A single glanco gave roe this summary outlino of my patient before I had tinto to ascertain tho nature or extent of his injuries. A very brief examination soon told mo that tho life which for hours had been ebbing so painfully away, was well nish snont: and he mtut Itave read tho awful truth in my face, for ho whispered to mo faintly and said as I roso,: "Is there, then, no hope?" Alasl there was no hope; but I had not speech to tell him so; for something was rising into my throat and choking mo, and a moisturo in my eyea was blinding mo j and the only reply I could give him was a shake of my head. Tho bravo spirit which had nerved him through tho fight had kept him up till now; but now, when tho dismal truth had broken upon him, there passed over his pallid face a look of mingled disap pointment and resignation which it was painful beyond expression to witness. I lost no time in giving him such surgical aid as his desperate condition called for and his waning strength could bear. I had hardly dono so when an unexpected voice addressed him : " My own dear boy t my brave heroic boy!" The tone was of cheery encouragement, yet feebly dis guising tho woo of a breaking heart; for it was lib mother s voice that snoke. and her lip3 that kissed his fevered brow. Gently she turuod back his disordered and blood stainod locks, dissemblinrr with evident effort tho mother's anguish lest ') suo should aud another sorrow to tho pangs of his dying hour. " Jly mother!" ho cried witli almost frantic delight. "Is it you, my mother How oatne you hero? Is it you, or am I dreaming V aud as he spoke he threw his onh ivn lining arm around her neck, r.n'l ki ..i'd her with all the rapture of a cVid.

Oil, would wo both had died in thoso fresh bright days of innocence. I kissod his pallid lips; I looked into his oyes, but m them was no responsive glance. Ho was dead. I had slain him!

It is built of incli and a quarter planks, and at the start, whero the grado is steepest, is 4i inches across tho top. This width is increased, however, when tho decrease in tho grade necessitates a larger volumo of water to float the lum ber, and at tho lower end roaches an ex treme width of frt inches. At each increase in tho sizo of tho ilumo mora water must bo added to tho stream llio llrht head of water comes from Laiio Sequoia, and tho supply is aug mented by small streams nt four dif ferent places between tho mill and King's River. To preserve a fairly regular grade in constructing this Hume enormously high trestles wero found necessary to carry tho flumes across canons, cliasms, nnu around sharp spurs of mountains. Tho first 27 miles built took over 6,000, 000 feet of lumber to construct, nnd most of this lumber had to be packed on the Biiouuiers or men. it has taken about 0,000,000 feet of lumber. nU told, to com. plete tho flumo. But to return to the head of tho flume. around which our little party of four was clustered, our spirits dropping as rapidly as tho mercury during n-cold snap, and our hearts seeking the seclu sion of our boots. Coming down a flume when you aro at tho bottom and look up is a very different tironosition to coimr down a flumo when you are at the top uuu iook uown. istones ot former trips that resulted most disastrously flashed through our minds. If it had not been for tho crowd of onlookers that stood around ready to cheer if we started, or jeer if wo didn't, wo would havo backed out, ono and all. Thero was no help for it, and with a last desnairino- look at tlio beautiful bright world around us that wo were leaving perhaps forever we solemnly climbed into the flume boat and Bhook hands sadly witli thoso that wero not going. Tho boat that was to carry us down the flume resembles nothing so much as a hog trough witli ono end missing. Tho flumo being built V shapo and at a right angle, tlia boat is constructed like wise, but at what would bo the bow end of an ordinary boat there is no end at all, it being purposely left onen in order to provido means for the water that backs up into tho boat to escape. On examina tion wo found our boat to be 16 feet long wun a 14 incli manic runninir the lenirth of the boat, thus making a false bottom, to raiso us from reach of the water. On this plank rested four small wooden stools, one for each of the party. After taking seats, with manv miso-iv. ings and balancing ourselves, tho order to cast ofl was given, tlio spikes holdin our frail craft to tho flumo sido wpi-r pulled out, and our craft shot on with tho current on its journey to the plains. The sensation was exactly as if tho bottom had dropped out of the universe and wo had dropped with it. "Watch out I" yelled tho man in front. throwing himself back on tho man be hind him. It was just in time. Tho sudden shock threw us all flat on our backs and tho boat "zipped" under a projecting beam that would have decapitated tho wholo outfit, Cautiously regaining an upright position wo tooi a looic at tho scenery arouna us. as tar ahead as one could see stretched the flume, looking a thin, spidery thread stretching down tho mountain sido. On either side gloomy rocks and forest trees flashed past in an Indistinguishable blur when the flumo toy near the ground, but when it roso on trestles to cross some canon or ravine wo seemed suspended, like Mohammed's coffin, " 'twixt heaven and earth. " In tho meantime our speed had been increasing. Not a member of the party spoko a "word, but in dumb amazement held a firm grip to the seat. Our boat had proceeded but half a railo when im mediately before us. could bo seen what we subsequently learned to be one of tho steepest inclines of the whole coursoof tho flumo a drop of 250 yards, with a grado of 1,800 feet to the mile. It was but a few moments when our boat was at tho head of this incline. Pieces of timber could be seen on the mountain sido below us, theso pieces having been nurieu out or the Hume during their course The sight was not very assuring to us, but there was no such thing as stopping or turning back at this stage of we journey. Holding our respective breaths, and offering mental prayers for our own safety, we consigned ourselves to our fate. The boat stopped for an instant at tho head of flio chute, pitched over the curve, and shot out into what seemed to be more space. A dim perception of fleeing forests. dashing wildly past a wall of rocks for a few seconds, tho noisy wash of tho waters behind us, after all of which wo found ourselves at the bottom of the incline trying to regain our breath. It was short, aud luckily, too. Human nerves could hardly havo stood the strain much longer. Going on at a slightly reduced rate of speed, wo were treated to a con stant clmnge of mountain scenery, now closely hugging tlio perpendicular wall of the rocky gorge, again being swept around the sharp point of a mountain on our way across wide canons, up as high as 131) teet, with only tho knowledge of the frail trestlework between us and what No grander view of the lower Sierras could be experienced than that which we had as we swept on through space. The alternating views of deep gorges, high cliffs, timber clad mountain heights, combined with the novel means of trans portation, robbed the journey of all weariness. Finally we reached King's River, and our course now lav nsrallsl with the stream ami about the same grade. Our boat proceeded steadily, but with none of the occasional rapidity we had exferi enced in the higher mountains left be hind. After having "flumed" about 87 miles we came to the suspension bridco across King's River. Rut even 88 miles of flume come to an end at last, and the speed becoming tame and slow in com parison with the early part of the trip, u ith the aid of several men at work herding-on the flume our frail craft as -afely brought to a standstill, aud climbed out on the trestle and utietclied our cramped legs.

"The I.nhor Question." It is tho unwillingness of the wage earner, nnd even of the capitalists often, to recognize tho lenirth mid breadth nt this labor question, which Is to-day com- lje"""B,uio worispeople in Europe and America to try to meet the issue br nri- tagotiislic action, when the Onjy way out of it is through a large cooperation between producing nations, in which the principle of "livo and let live" is openly followed. This point is brought out in the comments of tho English press on the proposed labor commission for Great Britain. It is not legislation so much as a proper knowledge of the conditions of each industry, and especially of the situ ation of the samo industry in different countries, which determines what is best to do. For this reason, none of the Eng lish papers expect much directly from the appointment of a labor commission. Its chief value will be that it will give a fresh study of the facts, and that it will bring the leaders of business and of in dustry together to discuss practical ques tions, so as to find out tho truth about them, and to frame methods of action which will tide over existing difficulties without legislation. "What is wanted is intelligence on both sides, the willingness to accept the eco nomic truth as a fundamental and wg ulativo principle. The demands or & large proportion of the wage earners at the present timo would ultimately wreck and ruin the business corporation or house which should grant them. It is not so much the unwillingness to yield as tho impossibility of yielding and con tinuing iu business which weighs upon employers of labor. The present in dustrial movement is advancing to the point whero both parties must accept the truth as it exists, the truth for the labor ing man, and the truth for the capitalist, not a compromise, not one party taking advantage of another, not legislation, binding both parties where they need to bo free, but the truth of the whole situa tion as it affects industries in general and the economic and commercial principles on which our modem life is based. The English labor commission, if it should work in this spirit, will accomplish some thing worth while, and in this country, whero such a commission seems impos sible, we must work our way out through discussion and experiment until both parties aro prepared to take broader views, and each is willing to seo the sit uation from tho point of view of tho other. IDoston Herald. niooA From a Tree. Throckmorton county, Texas, possesses a natural curiosity in the shape of a large wild peach tree which, when cut in any part, exudes a sap almost the exact color and consistency of fresh blood.- Botan ists have confessed themselves at a loss to account for the peculiarity wliich they aro unanimous, however, in ascribing to somo coloring matter absorbed from the soil in which it grows and which is, in all probability, tho correct way of ac counting for it, as cuttings from the tree planted elsewhere invariably fail to de velop the same peculiarity. The people at large, howover, aro disposed to look upon the tree as something uncanny, and as many as a dozen stories, all more of less bloodcurdling, aro poured into any visitor's ears concerning it. It is said that no negro will pass withlrf half a mile of it at night for any sum that can be offered. The tree is a splen did specimen, and has obtained a greater size than is usual in its species.
