Inui anaiiilik, July 4. The Notifica

National Couveulion, to-dy of
ficially informed (ien. Harrison of liia
nomination the camlidale of the Re
ptililican party for the office of litwitlent.
At 10 o'i'l.K'k this morning the thrk'gates
comjirising the Notification Co-mnittee
nut in the tiarlora of the Ne IVntiison
Hotel for the purpose cf arranging the
details of the ceremony, mid sijininjjthe
oilicial notice. Hon. M. M. Kj-tee, of Cal
ifornia, late Chairman of the Republican
Convention, presided, and Chan. W. C!is-Ix-e
acted as St-eretary of the tiimiiiitlee.
Thirty-three iiieuilH-rs of the coniniittt'e
were present.
Kx-tiovernorC!iar!es Fir-ter, of Ohio,
and Hon. I-ovan II. KiniI, of Arkansas,
were placed iu noniinutiou for vice-Chair
men of theCommiltee, but both declined
in favor of II. A. l'otter, of New Jersey,
who was unanimously chosen. The ad
dress to lien. Harrison having lnt-n
signed by each iiu-iiiIkt, the comtniitee
placed itself at the disiiosal of the lK-al
Comtniitee of Arrangements, Hon J. N.
Huston, Chairman. Ilcfore adjourning
tlie couiniittee votetl to meet in New
York city, at the Slurray Hotel, at ten
o.clock next Saturday morning, for the
purjie of arranging the program for the
notification of Hon. Ievt I. Morton.
Chairuian II-tee and nearly all the incm-
bers of the couiniittee have signified their
intention of being nrt-sent at Morton's
notification.
AT iEX. HAIttUSOx's REiiHENCE.
At 11S10 the couiniittee, escortel by the
local committee of arrangements, took
carriages in front of the hotel and weie
driven up Massachusetts avenue, then
north on iH-'laware street to No. 74, the
plain, two-story brick residence of t!en.
Harrison. The exterior of the house was
without decoration, not so much as a
email flag being visible, but many neigh
boring residences were tastefully dressed
in bunting. A crowd of between two
and three hundred, people trfood gazing
before the house, while the couimiltec
alighted and headed by Chairman F-stee
andex-tiovernorFost -r entered the house
in inarching order. Mr. Russell Harri
son and Cupt. M. ti. McClain met the
delegate at the door and escorted them
through the ha. I into the parlor, being
the Jcentre room between the drawing
room and the library. In the latter
rooms and the hallway were crowded the
friends and neighbora of en. Harrison,
including many ladies. The members of
the committee formed tlicmsclvcs into
a semi-circle around the jmrlor, which
was tcstefully decorated with cut-dow
ers, t ouspicuous among me pitves w as
a lieautiful floral flag of double-retl gera
nium blossoms, white balsams and lark
spurs, the whole surrounded by roses,
ferns and (tansies, and resting upright
upon the piano. Conspicuous above the
mantel hung a very antique portrait of
"Old Tippecanoe," President Win, Henry
Harrison, while in the hallway rested
another portrait of the old warrior.
When the committee had all entered
the room at 12 o'clock General Harrison
and his w ife came down stairs, and just
as Mrs. Harrison reached the lust step she
tripped ami fell on her knees, but the
General hastily assisted her to arise, and
with admirable composure the distin
guished lady took the General's arm and
entered the (utlor, amidst res(iectful si
lence. Gen. Harrison looked (iale and care
worn, his expression being one of deep
seriousness as he stood facing the com
mittee attired in a close-buttoned l'rince
Allcrt. Mrs. Harrison, on the contrary,
looked very happy and bright; her spark
ling eyes and w insouie manners were in
charming contrast with her abundant
gray hair. She was attired in white In
dia silk trimmed in gimp, with high neck
and long sleeves, and no ornaments. in
her left stood Mrs. J. N. Hnton, a beau
tiful brunette, attired in black silk and di
amond ornaments ; and beside herstood
Mrs. John C. New, also in black silk,
with diamonds. Mrs. McKce.Gvn. Har
rison's daughter, was indisjiosed and un
able to Icaxe her room, and Mrs. Kusiell
Harrison is visiting her father in Omaha.
ClI.tlHM.tX ESIEt's REMARKS.
As the ladies took their position ttesidc
Gt-n. Harrison, Chairman H-tee stepped
forward, and in splendid voice and em
phasis, said :
" Gen. Harrison, we are commissioned
by the National Republican Convention
to officially notify you of your nomina
tion as the Republican candidate for
President of the I'nited States. In doing
this, we may be permitted to remind you
that your eelec ion met the hearty ap
proval of the whole convention ; it left
no embittered feeling or lukewarm sui
(Kirters, and its action voiced the average
and the best judgment of the conven
tion. It is true, distinguished gentlemen,
well know n to the people, who were ex
perienced in public affairs, illustrious in
character and words of the people's con
fidence and bUport, were oefore tha con
vention as candidates, and yet you were
chosen. Nor was your nomination due
to accident or the result of hasty or in
coiisiderate deliberation. It indicated
rather that you possessed in a mere emi
nent degree those (iccu'iar qualities which
commended yon to the people's favor.
In the hour of our country's peril you
cheerfully accepted a bumble position
in the army, went where your country
moet needed you, and by long and faith
ful service rose to higher commands and
assumed graver responsibiUties. F.lected
to the I'nited State Senate, your enlight
ened and conservative statesmanship
commanded the respect and inspired the
confident of the American (ple. Add
ed to this the purity of your tst life,
and your exalted private virtues, is an
earm-st that as a candnlatc ft Prrwdent
the honor of the Republican party and
the glory of oar country is safe in yjur
keeping.

adopted, at home and abroad, on land
and sea, the prohibition of Chinese im
migration, the building up of our navy,
the erection of coast defences, and the es
pecial care of the old soldiers and sailors
of the Republic, are questions which oc
cupy conspicuous places in our platform.
These and other questions referred to in
the platform w ill doubtless receive your
careful consideration. In conclusion we
beg to express our (tersonal satisfaction
at your nomination, and we indulge the
belief that your election is already as
sured.' KEPl.Y OP tiEX. IIAKRISOX.
At the conclusion of Judge Kstec's ad
dress there was no applause, all present
seeming to partake of the gravity of the
occasion, as reflected in the calm features
and dignified manner of Gen. Harrison,
who did not evince the slightest symp
tom of exultation or gratification w hich
was depicted in the c lutilenances of the
ladies. After a moment's silence Gen.
Harrison adjusted his eye-glasses and,
draw ing his manuscript from bis bosom,
read bis reply in a full, rich voitv, and
w ith a degree of seriousness, and earnest
ness that visibly impressed every ne who
heard him. He said:
"Mr. Chairman' and Gentlemen ok
the Comm ittek The official notice which
you have brought of the nomination con
ferred upon me by the Republican Na
tional Convention, recently in session at
Chicago, excites emotions of a profound,
though of a somewhat conflicting char
acter. That after deliberation and free
consultation the representatives of the
Republican party of the United States
should have concluded tlr.it the great
principles enunciated in the platform
adopted by the Convention could lie iu
some measure safely confided to my care,
is an honor of which I am deeply sensi
ble and for w hich I am very grateful. I
lo not assume or believe that this choice
implies that the Convention found in me
any pre-eminent fitness, or exceptional
fidelity to the principles of Government
to w hich we are mutually pledged. My
satisfaction with the result would lie al
together sjKiiled if that result bad been
ri ached by any unworthy methods or by
a disparagement of Ihe more eminent
men who divided with me the suffrages
of the convention. I accept the nomi
nation w ith so deep asenseof thedignity
of the office and of the gravity of its du
ties and responsibilities as altogether to
exclude any feeling of exultation or
pride. The p.inctplcs of Government
and the practices in administration,
which issues are now fortunately soclear
ly made, are so important in their rela
tions to the national and to individual
prosjierity that we may exjieet an unus
ual (Kipular interest in thecani(aign.
"Relying wholly upon the considerate
judgment of our fellow-citizens and the
gracious favor of Gixl, we w ill confident
ly submit our cause to the arbitrament of
a free ballot. The day you have chosen
for this visit suggests no t.ioughts that
are not in harmony w ith the occasion.
The Republican party has walked in the
light of the iHt laration of Indcjiendence.
It has lifted the shaft of patriotism upon
the foundation laid at Bunker Hill. It
has made the more (wrfect Union secure
by making all men free. Washington
and Lincoln, Yorktown and Appomattox,
the Declaration of Independence and the
Proclamation of F.maucipation, are nat
urally and worthily associated in our
thoughts to-day.
"As soon as may lie possible I shall by
letter communicate to your chairman a
more formal acceptance of the nomina
tion, but it may be but proier to say
that I have already examined the plat
form with some care, and that its decla
rations, to some of which your Chair
man has alluded, are iu harmony with
my views.
"It gives mo pleasure, gentlemen, to
receive you in my home and to thank
vou for the cordial manlier in which vou
have conveyed your official message."
re ektiox axu i.ixciieox.
Img and hearty applause echoed
throughout the house as General Har
rison concluded his addiessaud reaching
forth cordially gras;ed the extended
hand of Chairman I'-stee, w ho then pre
sented him w ith the official copy of his
notification. Secretary Clisbee then
handed the General an engrossed official
copy of the Republican platform. The
formalities of the occasion having been
concluded, General Harrison instantly
became the geu'u? 1 host, w hile Chairman
F.stee, acting as master of ceremonies, in
tr.'sluced each member of the couiniittee
as they passed before the General and
the ladies. Several of them were accom
panied by their wives, while Miss Lulu
S. Joseph, of Nashville, accompanied
Delegate Iougherty, the Secretary of the
committee.
After the reception General and Mrs.
Harrison circulated seiarately and pro
miscuously about the rooms, chatting fa
miliarly with friends, and hospitably en
tertaining the strangers, in which en
deavjrs they were assisted by Russell
Harrison, Judge Miller, the (Jeneral's law
partner, and his twocharming daughters.
General Harrison invited the members of
the committee to remain and partake of
an elegant lunch w hich was spread in
the spacious dining-room adjoining the
library.
After the committee had been served
the General and his son came out and
rounded up the hungry newspaper men
and served them with the good things of
his table. Mr. Jackson, a reporter, for
the New York Smi, was overcome by
heat while in the draw ing room during
the speech-making, ail the rooms being
uncomfortably crowded and the day sul
try. Ilia friends assisted the sick man
out into the yard and under the shade of
a tree. As soon as General Harrison
heard of the matter, at the conclusion of
the ceremonies, be hastened to the door
and instructed his son to bring Mr. Jack
sou into the house and send for a physi
cian. The sick man was taken upstairs
wheresbe lay in a j-rilous condition for
some boors, but late in the afternoon
was rciTted as recovering. It was no
ticeable that when aouie of the young

How We Catch Cold.
Cold is not the only factor in the pro
duction of catarrh. There is a collateral
cause, and a most important one, in cer
tain depressed conditions of the nervous
system, which is too little know n and ap
preciated. In healthy conditions of the
nervous system, provided reasonable pre
cautions are taken against cold, there is
enough vitality in the organism to resist
its injurious influence. r The nervous sys
tem is, iu fact, the guardian, controller
and prime regulator of animal heat or
body temperature, and' its slightest fail
ure to fulfill its responsible duties the
least relaxation of its constant vigilance
renders us liable to: fall a prey to
Cold.
The following suppositious cases will
afford an illustrutiou :
An individual ho habitually drives
alxiMt in an ojien conveyance, with s?r-
fect freedom from catarrh, hapens on
one occasion to fall a'Ji'ep, w hen he is
out, and the verv neit dav has a cold.
- -
The explanation of tlm phenomenon is
to be found in the fact 'that during sleep
nervous energy is lowered and the system
therefore less able to withstand the inju
rious effects of cold. If we assume that
the individual was also in a state of in
toxication at the time,. tlie damage done
by cold would be more. 'serious, as the de
pression by alcohol is superadded to that
of sleep. It is, therefore, not surprising
to find that inflammation of the lungs is
frequently contracted under such cir
cumstances. We instinctively acknowl
edge the nervous depression during sleep
by taking the precaution to throw a nig
over the knees before our forty winks
on the dining room sofa.
A timid woman comes home some night
pale and ghastly with fright, having en
countered a "ghost." In a day or two
she develops a cold, for w hich she can
not in any way account. Fear acts. as a
depressant V) the nervous system, cri(
plim; its p.iwers of resisting the action of
cold ; hence the phrase, " shivering w ith
fear."
Similar innumerable events of daily
life tend to irritule, depress or excite the
nerves, and reu lcr theut unfit for main
taining the Uxly ten!(xv.itiire against the
fluctuations of weather and climate. Du
ring these unguarded moments a trifling
exposure to cold or damp is sufficient to
induce catarrh. It is known that stout
boots, umbrellas and wraps, though pre
ventives in t.'ieir way, are not by any
means tho only precautionary measures
to be adopted ; that we must endeavor to
strengthen the nervous, system, if it I
defective, and that Witen we aw com
pelled to expose ourselves to cold or wet
when the nerves are depressed from tem
porary causes, such as fatigue, anxiety,
grief, dyspepsia or ill humor, we should
be esjiecially careful to guard against
cold. ChamUrt Journal.
A Long Look Ahead.
They were stting together in the warm
parlor, saying little but thinking much.
Rut lovers do not need to say much to
be companionable.
Tiie little clock on the mantel for a
considerable time had been the only
siwaker. Its tick, tick, tick, seemed to
the youth to say, kiss her, kiss her, kisj
her. To the maiden it said leap year,
leapycar, and its reitiration of this phrase
moved the maid to break the silence.
"How funny some (ieop!e are," she
said.
Funny?''
" Yes, some (eople w ho are going to be
married."
"Oh!"
" Ye.?; si;na want to Is? married in a
ballon, some on the middle arch of a
bridge, some in a boat, some in a mil road
train, some on horseback, some on the
edge of a precipice, some dow n in a coal
mine "
" Yes, I have noticed it."
" What is their object, I wonder? "
" Marriage, of course."
" Hut I mean their object in getting
married out of the usual way."
"Well, I'll tell you what I think.
They get married in tiiis way so they
can tell their children and their grand
children they were married under pecu
liar circumstances, as for instance, 'your
mother and me, children, were married
in a coal mine,' or'your grandmother and
me, children, were married in a bal
loon." " I'll bet that's just the reason, said the
maiden."
"Of course it is the reason."
There was a pause. Then the maiden.
with glowing cheek i, said :
" I've been thinking, John "
" Yes? " he said, interrogatively :
"I've been thinking hew funny it
would be " (a pause and a deeper
blush.)
" Well, Rella, you've been thinking
what?"
"I've been thinking how funny it
would be if"
" Yes."
" If when the subject of marriage comes
up, thirty or forty years hence, you
could point to me and say: Why, chil
dren, your grandmother proposed to me
in leap year aud were married a few
weeks after."
John is very busy these days furnish

REUNION AT GETTYSBURG.
George W. Curtis' Address.
Gettysbpro, Pa., July 4. This morn
ing the beautiful monument of the Kighth
New York Cavalry was dedicated. The
stone has on the main piece, which is
about eight feet high, the figure of a cav
alryman on the march, his carbine slung
behind him and the coat-of-arms below
on the sub-base. The Third New York
Independent Battery, which won a repu
tation second to none in the army of the
Potomac, was also dedicated and exercises
were held at the following memorials
scattered over the field: The Sixty
seventh New York Regiment, known un
der the name of the First Long Island
Volunteers; the Brooklyn Phalanx and
Beerhers Regiment, on Cutps Hill, near
the second gate. The orator was Rev.
Thomas K. Beerher, of F.lmira, N. Y.
The fne Hundred anil Forty-sixth New
York is known us the Garrard Tigers, out
of compliment to the stern discipline of
Col. Kenuer Garrard, a graduate of West
Point, w ho am-jtted the command of the
One Hundred and Forty-sixth at the
suggestion of Gen. Hallet k. The posi
tion of the monument is on the most com
manding portion of Little lionnd Top an I
near the place w here Meade directed the
battle of the thin! day. The Thirteenth
New York battery was also dedicated in
the morning, and Battery B, New York
Artillery, at 1 o'clock, Rev. W. M. Reau
obamp delivered the oration.
WHERE HANCOCK WAS WOI NIIEO.
The massiye stone which marks the
spot where Maj.-Gen. W. S. Hancock
was wounded just twenty-five years ago
was visited to-day by thousands of the
admirers of that famous Commander.
At a large and enthusiastic meeting of
the 1". S. Veterans' Signal Cor Associ
ation it was determined to erect a tablet
commemorative of the work done by this
corjis here on Little Round Top, near
where tlie statute of tien. T. K. Warren
will he dedicated on the Sth of next Au
gust, lien. Jesse Merrill, of Lock Haven
who was chosen President to succeed B.
F. FUher, of Philadelphia, delivered an
oration Ufore the crops after the meet
ing. The gray coats of the Confederates can
Is- seen mingling with the bine, and none
wears the little flag of the In ion more
proudly than those who formerly loved
the " Stars and Bars."
Gov. J. B. Gordon, of lieorgia, who
won all hearts by his splendid eech of
yesterday, left for home this afternoon.
To the CoinnirtYvt! (inzit. correspondent
he expressed his great pleasure at being
permitted to see this reunion lietween
the North and South, and thought if the
soldiers were brought into contact thus
every year the country would be the In-t-ter
for the meetings.
There was a strange similarity between
tiiis day and that of just twenty-five years
ago. Then the armies of Meade and Ia-c
Confronted each other. So to-day the
Federal and Confederates were once more
on the field and again was the one on
Seminary Ridw nnd the other on Ceme
tery Hill. Nothing unusual occurred to
break the monotony until 4 o'clock, when
the Unions and Confederates met once
more at almost the same hour at w hich
they had joined indeAilly cjtubat twenty
five years ago.
At o'clock the procession, composed of
the same military commands as yesterday
entered the National Cemetery and
murchod past the rostrum. A the con
clusion of the parade (ten. Robinson, of
New York, as presiding officer, requested
the Rev. Twitchell, of Hartford, Conn.,
to o-cn the exercises with prayer. The
prayer was listeneded to w ith uncovered
heads, and when, in concluding, he Uiitn
the I.rd's Prayer the crowd joined in
with the preacher.
MR. lathium-'s imem.
George Lathrop was unable to be pre- j
sent, but jiart of his poem was read by
(en. Horatio C. King, and was received
by the audient w ith niin hapulaii.se. The
following is an extract :
Two hostile bullets in mid-air
Together socked.
And swift were locked
Forever in a firm embrace.
Then let us men have so much grace.
To take tlie bullets plait?
And leant that we are held
I'.y laws that weld
Our hearts together!
As once HP battled hand to hand,
S. hand in hand tivilay we stand,
Sworn to each other
Brother and bortlier
In storm and mist, or calm translucent
weather;
And Gettysburg's guns, with death-dealing
roar,
Kcli'ied from ocean to ocean shall pour
thickening life to the Nation's core;
Killing our minds again
With the spirit of those w ho wrought in the
Field of the Flower of Men .'
When the orator, George William Cur
tis, was presented, three cheers were i-all-ed
for by Gen. Sharjte.
MR. Ct RTIs' SPEECH.
Mr. Curtis in his speech said :
If the rising sun of the 4th of July, 18C3
looked upon a sad and unwonted scene, a
desolated battlefield, upon which the
combatants upon either side had been
American citizens, yet those comlntants
could they have seen aright would have
hailed that day as more glorious than
ever before. For as the children of Israel
beheld Moses descending amid the clouds
and thunder of the sacred mount bearing
the divinely illuminated law, so from
that smoking and that blood -drenched
field on which all hope of future union
might seem to have perished utterly, they
would have seen a more perfect Union
rising.w ith the Constitution at bud immut
ably interjiertetl ; and they would have
heard, before they were nttered by hu
man lijat, the words of which (ieltyaburg
is the immortal pledge to mankind, gv

south of the Potomac, which, after the
fierce and wasting stress of four years of
war upon their soil, after the total over
throw of their ancient industrial system,
the destruction of their wealth, the com
pletely paralysis of their business energies
are rising together like a brood of Titans,
and under the inspiration of libeity, peai-e
aud assured union, are renewing the
wonderful tale of the earlier years of the
century, the prigrcss and development
of the great West? The power and re
source of those States in war seem to have
revealed to them their unsuspected skill
and force in jieuce. -The vigor, tlie tenac
ity the ability, that contested victory
Uion this field for those three famous

The world's imis'rial deposit of iron
has lain dormant for ages between the coal
and the limestone of Alabama, but only
now has it proved more precious, than a
gold mine. From the war desolated

humming w ith workshops and a hundred
trades, and startled Pennsylvania hears
and wonders w hile Alabama an. 1 Genrv.ia

of Tennessee challenge the ancietitjfircs

Carolina nearly doubles her manufactur

they w ill nearly equal in value all the
crops of the State, including rii-e and cot

IXt't STRIAL ruicI'LRITY.
Thousands of new industries, mining,
manufacturing, commercial and agricul
tural, arise as in a newly-discovered or
luUly settled laud. To facilitate every
enterprise railroads, thoroughly appoint
ed, (s'netrate the remotest valleys. The
watercourses are richly burdened with
a freight hitherto unknown, and with
new industries greater skill satisfies more
various demands, opens w ider commer
cial connections and more intimate social
relations, and establishes a higher and
opulent civilization. In all this glitter
ing (taiiorama the happiest incident is
due directly to the war. It is the blend
ing of the capital, the people, the energy,
the experience, the skill and conviction,
of other States w ith those of the Southern
States, which has produced this great re
sult. Before the war this was impossible
Ever declining doubt and angrier diver
gence had consumed the heart of Union
and only its form remained. This uni
versal confidence and co-operation, there
fore, are in the truest sense the fruits of
"Union: But fairer than all thewe, as tlie
smile of prosperity broadens over the
awakening States, is the fact that lalor
itself becomes free, and slaves are trans
formed to citizens. Free labor ptoduces
the great Southern staples as amply as
before, and is welcomed to the new in
dustries. It pays taxes on property of its
ow n valued at nearly a hundred millions
of dollars, while forjiie children of form
er slaves there are nearly twenty thous
and schojls of every degree w itii an en
rollment of more than a million of pupils
and everywhere a demand for education
and a public lisptitin to gratify it
hitherto unprecedented. This new birth
of freedom is the noblest aspect of the
spectacle.
To-night a banquet was served at the

An Old Story.
A man was once walking along one
road and a woman along another. The
roads finally united, and a man and wo:u
jn, reaching the junction at the same
time, walked on from there together.
The man was carrying a large iron kettle
on his back, in one hand he held by the
legs a live chicken, in the other a
cane, and he was leading a goat. Just as
they were coming to a deep, dark ravine
the woman said to tlu man : 'lam afraid
to go through that ravine with you ; it is
a lonely place, and you might overpower
me and kiss me by force." "If you were
afraid of that," said the man, "you
shouldn't have walked with me at all.
How can I possibly overpower you and
kiss you by force w hen I have this great
iron kettle on my back, a cane in one
hand, a live chicken in the other, and am
leading this goat ? I might as well be ti
ed hand and foot!" "Yes," replied the
woman, "but ifyoushould stick yourcane
in Ihe ground and tie the goat to it, and
turn the kettle bottom side up and put
the chicken into it, then you might wick
et! ly kiss me in spite of my resistance."
Success to thy ingenuity .JOh, woman !"
said the rejoicing man to hiius-lf. "I
should never have thought of such expe
dients." And w hen they came to the ra
vine he stuck his cane in the ground and
tied the goat to it, gave thechickento the
woman, saying, "Hold it w hile I cut s .me
grass 6r the goat," and then lowering the
kettle from his shoulders, imprisoned
the chicken under it and wickedly kised
the woman, as she was afraid he would.

A Stray Shot's Fatal Work.
It was early in V4 while our brigade
(HoimI'si was still ia Ten nessce, that one
morning wu received order to be ready
to march at a moment's notice. We hail
Isren idle for some time, and prospect of
action was not unwelcome. Besides, a
"brush" meant a possible supply of blan
kets, clothes and commissary stores, of
all of w hich we were in sore need. Those I
of us who had them rolled up our ragged
blankets; the bugle sounded "fall in,"
and we were on the march.
We learned presently that the Feder
als were advancing by Cumberland Gap,
where we had about a regiment of cav
alry and a battery of light artillery'. It
was a splendid day; tiie ground was cov

and the older our. "a Irrtlr turned oVi,'
had taken his little 4 year old brother by

look on. Then, in a moment, and beforo
anybody could cry out to them even, the
Yanks had came thundering along and
they had been caught op between the
lines and swallowed op in the rush and
roar of the battle. When the short tus
sle was over they were ;no where to b

lines had been re-establised, and La. I
there got ready leave to pass over to the
Federal camp; but no one had seen or
heard anything of the missing children.
Would we help her hunt them ?
Wouldn't we ! Every man volunteered
with a whoop. We formedbi!ong line
like a skirmish line and started, search
ing every foot of ground carefully and
calling out cheerily as we went. We
turned over brush-heaps. We peered un
der the edges of fallen trees. We scatter
ed the deatl leaves that had drifted into
root-bound hollows. We dragged the
little kmIs of water made by the melting
snow.
We had gone over two or three miles
in this war. The short afternoon was
waning, and the wind was growing sharp
and keen with the lengthening rays of
the sun. A halt was called. Smie of
the officers and older men consulted has
tily together and weie about decided to
beat around in the opposite direction,
when suddenly a shout came:
"Here they are !"
The shout was caught up and turned
into a glad veil as it rolled along the
line. 1 had heard the "reliel yell" Is
fore, and I heard it many a time after,
when it meant victory at Ihe close of
life and death slni.'k-!e, but I never heard
our buys in gray sound such a li"t of
triumph as went up from their throat
that day, as they double-quicked it lo the
spot where thoae two little runaways
were laying.
It was an old field, whose long neg
lected furrows were covered w ith a fhn k
growth of yellow aedtfe, all w.- with
melted snow, and shining in the soft rays
of the setting sun. A bushy squat pine
had shot up here ami there; the rotten
: rail fence was overrun with black U-rry
j vines aud almtist litt in a jungle of brown
j withered niullen and pokelierry stalka
that grew in its sheltering corner.
The children were in one of these
moLst, tangled fence-corners. Their little
home-spun frock for they bo tit wore
dreistes were all torn and draggled,
their chubby faces were brier-scratched
and dirty. Their bare heads were mat
ted with dry lei ves and straw. But I
reckon every man of u thought God's
blue sky never looked down on a prettier
picture than they made lying there, fast
asleep and clasped closely in each other's
arms.
We held our breath after that first
shout for fear of frightening them. Anil
when the grizzled old sergeant, w hose
very look was wont to make the recriffts
tremble in their boots, stepped toward
them with a soft, almost bashful smile on
his lips, and stopjsl, we all took off our
cajis and leaned eagerly forward. How
we all envied big, burly, tender-hearted
Torn J w hen the sergeant lat'koned
him and laid the oldest boy, all may and
flushed with sleep, into his arms. The
little fellow opened his blue ryes and
stared vaguely around, then claiqied his
arms around Tom's neck and gave a long
sigh of content.
The sergeant stiwqasl again with a low
chuckle of satisfaction. "The little "un
is asleep for sure !" he auid. as lie lifted
him gently and turned. The next mo
ment he stamp-red under his light burden
and almost fi ll. A hoar-e grown burst
from his li. The little head, with it
tangled mass of yellow curia, roiled heav
ily to one side; the little arms hung in
ertly down; the sergeant's hands when
they supported the tiny neck wcr all
dabbled in blood '.
The stray rhot had done its cruel work
well! It had ploughed aenws Ihe small
white throat and the lathy head was al
rnint wvercd from its little body. The
little 'un a as in. let-.! n.l.-cp f,,r sure.
A kind of froen horror swept over the
group trithered in that old field. Xo man
dared for a while to look his neighbor
in the face, and when be did he saw
there an expression thai he has not for
gotten yet if be lues.
Ten minutes liefore we were all readv to
"' "I' f"r tbe privilege of carrying thiatc
; vhai home. But now every man
of us hung liuck, dumb and unnerved.
And the sergeant and Tom turned slow
ly and tramjied away through the falling
shadows to lay the living and the dead
to"A'ther in that waiting mother's arms.
We followed silently, with Uncovered
heads.
When the Federal officer in command
heard that the children were lost he of
fered to disarm his men, stack their guns
with ours and join in the search. And
more than once that night our pickets
were challenifed from the other side and
anxious inquiries made for the littleones.
When the answer went back across the
hush and the silence of the night we
could feel, though we could not see the
look that swrjit over the faces of our
foes. And that look made ns all akin.

great annoyance at this season: Hood's
