KnifaRrmcnt,
Were you ever in a battle? My first
memorable experience was in that of
8outh Mountain, in 1S02, and then came
Antictnm, three days Inter. I was then
in my fourteenth year full of life, vipor
and ambition. My regiment, the Twenty
third Ohio, commanded by It. B. Hayes,
had seen some eighteen months of hard
service nmonptlie bushwhacker of West
Virginia, but hud not yit passed through
what mi;,'ht be termed" a first-class fight,
and I was just dying to see one. Un
doubtedly you will question my word
when I say that only a few days before
the battle of South Mountain a lad of my
size was found in a lonely spot all by
himself, and actually on "his knees in
prayer asking his God to give him the
opportunity to pass through at least one
great battle.
On the morning of the 14th of Sep
tember, Burnside's corps, which formed
the left whig of McC.;' Lan's army, with
Cox's division of Ohio men in the lead
(and the Twenty-third in the van of that
division), moved from Middletown up
the Rational road to the foot of South
Mountain, when a brief reft was ordered.
It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and
very few of our men "di earned of the
terrible storm that was nt that very mo
ment brew ing on the hill tops before and
above them. A few moments later and
Simmons' battery stirred the air with a
few shell? that were let loose on the
mountain side, but, as they were unan
swered, we thought nothing"of it. Then
Ilayes was ordered to take his regiment
up the mountain by an unfrequented
road. We started off in lively spirits,
but perfectly unconscious of the fun
coming. The regimental band was ahead
playing a spirited air. When near the
summit of tho mountain some Confeder
ates let into us to the extent of a dozen
shots or so. This had the effect of
bringing us to our senses. Our eyes
opened, and we began to think that
there was something unusually
strange about the morning's atmosphere.
Ilayes brought the regiment into lino
by a quick flank movement, while the
band most willingly marched to the rear.
Then ordering a charge, we went into
one of the most sanguinary conflicts
through which the T cnty-third everpass
ed. We could not s c our foe, for the moun
tain was covered with laurel bushes so
thick that it was impossible to see ten
feet ahead of us.
Hayes had hardly ordered the word
"Charge!" beforf the enemy let a volley
into us, which was followed by volley
after volley, cutting down over a hun
dred of our recimcnt within a verv few
moments. iSever in after days did our
men drop so fast as at the first charge at
South Mountain, but rage carried us
through, and in less than twenty minutes
after the charge was ordered we had the
enemy out of their first position and
were driving them down the mountain
slope. Just then Hayes received a wound
ia his left arm, and although he wanted
to stay with us he was compelled to be
carried to the rear and be cared for. The
command of the Twenty-third now fell
on Major Comly. We had gained noth
ing from our first charge, the enemy only
fell back a few rods behind a still stronger
position, w here they were able to give us
more blows, which they did, but without
the same tilling effect as before. . The
first shock is always tho hard"st and is
felt the keenest, the opening of a bat
tle is always more terrible than any hour
of the fight.
t Ko matter how brave and daring a man
is, tho first shot chills him more or less.
After that tho battle is as nothing, lie
neither sees nor hears the dendlv balls as
they fly past and around him. lie thinks
no longer past, present and future are as
a blank. Friends and dear ones pass
from his vision. His memory is dead,
his soid lias fled. Ho is no longer him
self, no longer a man, but a dangerous,
passionate animal. He goes into the fight
like a bull-dog, not caring or thinking of
himself, but his prev. Ho is bound to
conquer, and gives his life to the contest
in forgetfulness of self. The moment
the struggle is over he is himself again.
He becomes the man, tho thinker, the
reasor.er once more. The first charge
wo mode was carried by our outrageous
yelling and deafening cheers. The Con
federates no doubt thought that the in
fernal regions had broken loose. Kvery
man yelled like a madman. It was Colonel
Hayis' request that we should yell, and
we did, and by it we won the first charge.
This may seem to you extravagant, but
it is a tact. Cheek is more powerful
than steel. Tim noise of a cannon has
more terrible effect upon men than the
cun mm bull it,df l'owder and cheek
rule the world. They are the supreme
pods of man. A brave man will fight a
tiger, but get down on his knees before
a calf or an ass. Had the Confederates
known our number at the opening, no
doubt the Twenty-third would have been
considerably worsted on its first charge,
but our wild cheers foiled them, and
after they had dosed us with a few
volleys they guve way, fell back and took
another stand.
Again they made it red hot for us and
og;iiii we won. This time it was face to
face, bayonet to bayonet and life for life,
lint we b at them buck. Heavens! how
they fought us! It was nip and tuck. It
cot blood ; but u hat of that we got the
gWywe f.mght for. It cost life ; but
whut is life without glory nothing. It
was contest of steel.of bayonets, of men
craed with excitement. One fellow
bayoneted eV n of tho enemy. They
made a t-er-e mt of him after the battle
was over. Another killed four. They
made a corporal of him within a month
after the fiht. lb avens! that was the
fiercest and grand -st charge made during
the war. .
I do i't remember much after the sec
ond and third c harges. I became lost in
the whirl of excitement. I can only rc
ineniber that it wan hot that tho bullets
flew thick uml fust that men dropped

HEALTH HINTS.
Hot camomile bags often give relief
to sufferers from neuralgia. They are
made of linen lightly tilled with camomile
blossoms; reject the stalks. When needed,
place them on a tin plate in the oven,
where they will becomo very hot but not
burn.
A child should be kept in the house
six weeks after having had scarlet fever.
This is the French as well as American
rule. The disease is liable to be commu
nicated on exposure sooner, and the kid
neys are liable to become affected should
the child be chilled.
What to do in a case of burning, is an
important piece of popular information.
In the first place apply an alkali, and in
the next place protect the part from the
action of the air. If the burn is a small
one apply bicarbonate of soda, or baking
soda, in powder, thickly. The pain will
be quickly relieved. A mixture of lime
water and sweet oil, equal parts, is a
good application to have in the house
and is suitable for extensive burns.' It
can be prepared by any druggist and at
small cost.
The following is said to be a sure cure
for croup: Boil pigs' feet in water with
out salt, and let it stand over night. In
the morning skim off the fat (which will
bo formed in a cake on top), put in a tin
pan, boil until all water is evaporated,
liottlo and keep for use. Give a teaspoon
ful every fifteen minutes on the appear
ance of tho first symptoms, and apply
freely to the chest and throat, rubbing
well. A celebrated physician says that a
child cannot have croup if pigs' feet oilia
administered at the first symptoms.
Gisnntic Cuttlefish.
The honor of setting as rest all doubts
as to the great squid certainly belongs to
Hev. M. Harvey, the learned and accu
rate Newfoundland naturalist. In 1873,
two fishermen were catching cod in Con
ception bay, when they saw a shapeless
mass floating on the water at a little dis
tance. "Wreck, no doubt," they said to
themselves; and as fishermen are not
above salvage, they approached close to
it, and struck it with a boat hook. In a
second the supposed wreck developed sud
denly into a fearsome monster, opened
its huge, staring eyes ferociously with a
ghastly roll, and snapped at tho boat
hook with its huge bill or jaws. The
men were so fascinated with terror that
they could not move ; and before they
had recovered their self-possession the
creature .was full upon them, shooting
out from its head several long, fleshy
arms, and groping at the boat with them
in its hideous fury. Only the two long
tentacles succeeded in grappling it, and
one of the men, seizing his hatchet, cut
off both of them with a well-directed
blow. The cuttle-fish then absconded
promptly, which goes to prove that the
race, though ill-tempered and savage, is
cowardly when wounded. Unfortunately,
one of the arms was'destroyed before ita
scientific interest was known; but the
other was brought to St. John and ex
amined by Mr. Harvey, who found that
the fragment alone measured nineteen
feet. Professor Verrill considers that the
total length of the animal must have been
about sixty feet. Some months later Mr.
Harvey came across yet another big cut
tlefish. This time he was lucky enough
to secure tho entire animal, and to get it
properly measured, photographed and
preserved in brine. The body is eight
feet long and five feet round; the long
tentacles are twenty-four feet in length,
and the short arms 6ix feet apiece. Each
of them has nearly a hundred suckers, and
every sucker is provided with a living
piston, by means of which the creature
can create a vacuum the moment
it touches its prey, and so re
enforce its own powerful muscles
by all the weight of the atmosphere and
the ocean above the spot it thus fastens
upon. "No fate could be more horri
ble," says Mr. narvey, "than to be en
twined in the embrace of those eight
clammy corpse-like arms, and to feel
their folds creeping nnd gliding around
you, and the eight hundred discs, with
their cold adhesive touch, gluing them
selves to you with a grasp which nothing
could 'relax, and feeling like so many
mouths devouring you at the same time.
Slowly the horrible arms, supple as
leather, strong as steel and cold as death,
draw their prey under the awful beak,
and jiress it ngainst the glutinous mass
which forms the body. The cold, slimy
grasp paralyzes tho victim with terror,
and the powerful mandibles rend and
devour him alive."
Another Newfoundland clergyman, Mr.
Gabriel, measured two still larger squids,
cast ashore at Lamaline in 1870, in one
of which tho body was forty feet long,
and in another forty-seven feet. Ant
one of Mr. Harvey's informants measured
a specimen which was washed up by the
waves a little earlier, nnd found it to be
eighty feet in length. Altogether, the cases
collected by this able und very trust
worthy naturalist conclusively prove that
cuttlefish of perfectly colossal size do
really occur in considerable numbers in'
tho North Atlantic Cornhill.
Incident at a Golden Woildinff.
A touching little incident occurred at
the Van Cleve golden wedding recently.
One of the gifts to the bride of fifty years
was a very pretty but old fashioned
lady's gold watch, and it was observed
that upon none of the presents did the
general ami his wifa lock with fonder
eyes than upon this. The story leafted
out that this was the very watch which
nearly fifty years ago, Lieutenant Van
Cleve had presented to his bride. In the
"tight times" which followed it was
found necessary to dispose of the watch
for "ready money," which was then
a scarce article. And so the watch was
sold. Tho purchaser had always sacred
ly preserved it, and was able consequent
ly, at the golden wedding, in make one
of the most delightful gilts of the day.

On the accession of James II., that
monarch declared, without the formality
of law, the charter of Massachusetts to
be void, and appointed Joseph Dudley
Jiresident of the country from Ilhode
Island to Nova Scotia. The people of
England, misinformed by their rulers,
approved the measure, nnd the tone of
society there was one of contempt for the
plantations.
The magnificent Castle of Windsor
was built by Edward III. (1327-1377),
and his method of conducting the work
may serve as a specimen of the condition
of the people in that ngo. Instead of en
gaging men by contracts and wages he
assessed every county in England to send
him a eertain number of masons, tilers
and carpenters, as if he . had been levy
ing the army.
It is not generally knownihat the hand
travels as fast if not so far as the foot.
An ingenious calculator has been setting
down the record of its progression. A
rapid penman writes thirty words a min
ute, and in doing so, what with curves
and turns of the pen necessitated by
very word, not to mention crossing his
"t's," draws his pen through sixteen feet
of space. In forty minute his pen
travels a furlong. Thus many persons
who do not walk on all fours progress
three hundred miles a year with their
hands, or rather with one hand.
Inventor of the LIghtnlng-Rod.
One of our German contemporaries de
voted' recently some space to the experi
ments of one Frocopius Diwisch, and de
tails a number of interesting devices pro
duced by him. Among them the lightning-rod
occupies a prominent position,
and Diwisch's biographer claims for him
tho priority of invention in this field, on
the strength of the fact that he erected
such a ccntrivance in his garden in 1754.
So far as dates are concerned Diwisch can
by no means bo counted as the original
Jacob in the lightning-rod business, as
the thing had been done some time bs
fore by several others, and the idea of
drawing sparks from the clouds had been
suggested by Franklin in 1740. Indeed,
records shew that before Diwisch's date
two houses in Philadelphia were struck
by lightning during a thunder storm, and
the one protected by lightning-rods was
not injured, while tho other was severely
damaged. We might enter- more into
the details of this question, but priority
claims on modern inventions must now
be handled so frequently that ourn aders
will pardon us for refusing to dig up
dead issues. Justice must be done
though tho heavens fall, but sometimes
the wish is heard faintly that the heavens
would fall on a few of the men who had

prominent symptoms of Catarrh.

catarrhal virus is expelled from the system
and healthy secretions replace the diseased
action of the mucous membrane. Manifestly
it is unreasonable to'ezpect a cure in a short
time of a disease that has been progressing for
months or years.
This question of time is provided for in the
putting up of Piso's Remedy for Catarrh. It is
so concentrated that a very small dose is
directed. The quantity in one package is suf
ficient for a long treatment, consequently the
expense is a mere trifle, and there is no excuse
for neplect nor reason for it but forgetf ulness.

Duriii(r the past four years I have been troubled
with Boila, Humors broke out all over my face
and skin. I used to dig Uurdock root, steep and
take it. The ground was frozen so bard last
winter that I could not dig it, so the next thing I
could do was to gut some of your Uurdock Bitters.
One bottle did rue so much good I concluded to try
the second, and finally the third effected a full and
perfect cure. I have gained over thirty pounds in
flesh. I recommend t hem to all my frionds.
C. W. Fuller, Topsiiold, Mass.
A bad rash broke out all
over me, and I tried a great
many remedies, but got no
relief. At last tried your
Burdock Blood Bitters;
they purified my blood
and gave tne great relief
in a short time, I shall
not be without them. Mas.
