PICKETT'S CHARGE AT GET
TYSBURG.
The command came alonjr the line,
'Front forward!' and the column re
sumed its direction straijrh' down the
center of the enemy's position. The
destruction of life in the ranks of that
advancing host was fearful beyond pre
cedent. officers ijoinjf down by the doz
en and the men by scores and fifties.
Kemper had gone down terribly man
gled, but Garnett ptill towered unhurt,
and rode up and down the front liue,
saying in a stronjr, calm voice, 'Faster,
men! faster! Close up and step out
faster, but don't double quick !'
The stone fence was carried without
a struggle, the infantry and the skir
mish line swept awav before the divis
ion like trash before the broom. Two
thirds of the distance was behind and
the one hundred cannon in the rear
were dumb and did not leply to the
hotly worked guns in our front. We
were now four hundred yards from the
foot of the Cemetery Hill when away off
to the right, nearly half a mile, there ap
peared in the open a line of men at
right angles with our ov n, a long line,
dressed in blue, and coming down at a
double quick' upon the unprotected
right flank of Pickett's men, withtneir
mu.-kets 'upon the right shoulder shift,'
their battle flags dancing and fluttering
in the breeze created by their own rap
id motion, and their burnished bayonets
glistening above their heads like forest
twigs covered with sheets of sparkling
ice when shaken by a blast. Garnett
galloped along the line saying: 'Faster,
men! faster!' and the front line broke
forward at a double quick, when Gar
rett called out : 'Steady, men ! steady!
Don't double quick- Save your wind
aud ammunition for the final charge!'
and then went down among the dead,
aud his clarion voice was heard no
more above the roar of battle. The
enemy were now seen strengthening
their lines where the blow was expect
ed to strike by hurrying up reserves
from the right and left, the columns
from opposite directions passing each
other double along our front like the
fingers of a man's two hands lockicgto
gether. The distance had again short
ened and officers in the eneniy'a lines
could be distinguished by their uniforms
from the privates. Then was heard be
hind that heavy thud of a muffled tread
of armed men that roar and rush of
tramping feet as Armisted's column
from the rear closed up behind the front
line and he (the last brigadier) took
command, stepped out in front with his
hat uplifted on the point of his sword
i nd led the division now four ranks
deep, rapidly and grandly across
valley of death, covered with clover as
soft as a Turkish carpet.
There it was again ! and again ! A
sound fillipg tho ttip above, below,
mound us, like the blast through the
top of a dry cedar or tho whirring
sound mode by the suddeu flight of a
flock of quail. It was grape and canis
ter, and the column broke forward into
a double quick and rushed toward the
stone wall where fo:tv cannon were
bleaching forth gra}>e and canister twice
and thrice a minute. A hundred yards
from the stone wall the flanking party
on the rig in, connng down on a heavy
run, halted suddenly within fifty yard.-
and poured a deadly storm of musket
balls into Pickett's men, double muck
ing ftcfosi? ffOMi, #nd under this
Wrriblp cross fire the men reeled and
staggered between falling comrades and
then came pressing down upon the
centre crowding the companies into
confusion. But all knew the purpose
to carry the height in front, and the
mingled mass, from fifteen to thirty
deep, rushed toward the stone wall,
while a few hundred men, without or
ders, faced to the; right and fougbi the
tlaiikiny: party there, although fifty to
to one, and for a time held them at bay.
Muskets were m'U crowed a« some
jneii |)red to the right andothors to the
front and the fighting was terrific—far
beyond all other experience even of
Pickett's men, who for once raised no
cheer, while the ■weikin rang around
them with the 'Union triple huzza'
The old veterans saw the fearful odds
against them host*gathering
ilarker and (leeper still.
The tiioc was too precious, too se
rious for cheer ; they buckled down to
the heavy task in silence, and fought
wi'h a feeling' like despair. The ene
my were falling hack in front, while
officers were seen among their breaking
lines striving to maintaintheir ground.
Pickett's men were withifta £-w fret of
tjie £tpp|j when thV artillery deliv
ered their lust fire from guns shotted to
the muzzle—a blaz" fifty leet long went
through the charging, surging host
with a gapping rent to the rear, but the
survivors mounted the wall, then ovey
and onward rubied up ifop bill close
over guuceyji, woo waved their
rammers In the face of Pickett's men
and sent up cheer after cheer as they
felt admiration for the gallant charge.
On swept the column, over P^Y
cred with dead «ptl dyifig fl>vn. where
the eurt|i ta be on fire, the
riiioke tU-nse and suffoctUlug, the sun
j shut out, Uatnes blazing on every side,
J friend could hardly distinguished from
foe,hut the division, or the shape of an
inverted V, with the point flattened,
pushing forward, fighting, faUiutf and
melting away, till htdf \\p the hill
tbey were jupt by a powerful body of
fresh troops charging down upon them,
and this remnant of about a thousand
men was hurled back out into the clov
er Held. Brave Armistead was down
among the enemy's guns, mortally
wounded, but was last seen leaning
upon one elbow, slashing at the gun
ners to prevent them from firing at his
retreating men. Out in of the
breastworks the men showed ft
sition to reform anotuer charge, and
Mil ojlicer looking at the frowning
heights, with blood tri' kling down the
side of his face, inquired of another.
'What shall we do ! The answer : If we
get reinforcements soon we can take
I that bill yet.' But 110 reinforcements
j caiiie, none were in sight, and about a
thousand men fled to the rear over
dead and wounded, mangled, groaning,
dying men, scattered thick, far and wide,
| while shot and shot and shell tore up
the earth and minnie balls flew around

THE U TILIXA TIONOFKSO WL
EDGE.
It is a suggestive circumstance—
suggestive to youn? inventors at least,
and encouraging withal—that the very
first manifestation of action observed
by men, namely, the attraction which
an electrified body has for light objects,
is the last to be signally utilized in the
arts; aud that, too, not in some new
or original art by some learned investi
gator in eleet-icul science, but by a
couple of boys, and in an industry
which is as old as civilization.
The development of what is called
frictional electricity by lightly rubbing
a poor conductor, like ambtr. wax,
glass, or hard rubber, by another like
silk or fur, is and long has been an in
itial experiment in all courses of elec
trical instruction. It is the earliest
experiment made by or for the studeut;
nnd one of the substances co nmonly
mentioned as well suited to exhibit the
phenomenn of electrical attraction aud

Frictional electricity satisfies the re
quirements of the case absolutely and
with singular economy and siiuplicity

should have waited so long f<>r recog
nition is little less than marvelous,
since multitudes of millers have been
as familiar with the property of elec
tricity now utilized as with the needs
of the flour mill.
Why was the electrical bran separa
tor never invented before?
While it may not be possible to give
a specific answer to this question, it is
still possible to discover causes which
must have contributed materially to
keep the now so obvious application
of electricity from being made earlier.
Chief of these, it is safe to say, is the
non-sugfrestiveness of familiar knowl
edge. Men are apt always to overlook
the means which lie nearest at hand
and seek assistance from afar. When
a new discovery is made in science
scores of practical men stand ready to
consider whether it can be put to use
ful purpose.
The possibilities of any old truth
they are apt to assume to have been
already explored, forgetting that it is
but a little while since the utilization
of knowledge became the occupation of
any considerable class of men, and that
new developments in the arts are now
coustantly opening up opportunities
for applying old knowledge—often
knowledge which previously gave no
promise of utility.
Thus, while the newly discovered
phases of electrical action—e'ectro-mag
uetism, thermic electricity,
action, dynamo-electric energy, aud th«
rest—have become influential factors it
the arts, fi ietional electricity has lain
neglected, every one tacitly assuming
that its possible utilizations must al
ready have been worked out.
The moral to the young investiga
tor, who would like to be an inventor,
is plain. I)o not wait to acquire a
ltirge store of knowledge before you be
gin to seek original applications ior it.
As each new fact or phenomenon come.-
within the range of your investigation
be sure to consider its possible utiliza
tion. Think how it may be practically
applied. Use it as a factor of inven
tion, and follow It, if you can, through
tho range of its present applications.
You will find again and again thai
your inventions have been anticipated
bv others; but that should not be a
source of discouragement. Invention
is the best school for the inventer, The
ability to ipyeqt grows with practice.
Great inventions are never the first
fruits of a mind unpracticed in the art

this rule. The habit of inventing is a

deqeloped and urged on by an inherit

His knowledge of electricity was
limited, but he had been in the habit
of applying his learning as he got it,

And the student who aims to become

A CURIOUS INHABITANT OF
THE SARGASSO SEA.
What is generally known as tbe Sar
gasso Sea is the vast area of 2(50, JUO
square miles, mure or less, to the west
and southwest of the Azore Islands,
reaching to the Bahamas westward,
and fiuding its northern ami southern
boundaries in the 3jth and 19th de
grees of latitude. Other areas, notably
that in the Pacific, fire hundred miles
K S E. of New Zealand, and, again,
one thousand miles west of San Fran
cisco poj-sess tbe same characteristics,
but tbe former is the best known and
defined. The great Atlant'c currents
form a gigantic eddy, thus collecting
tbe alga 1 that forms its component
parts. The vegetable fauna is general
ly comprehended in tbe two genera,
Fucus and Sarga.*sum, of the latter
two species, namely, vulgare and bac
ci/erwn.
The disconnected masses of weed
that make up the "Sargasso Sea" are
usuaillv "from n couple of feet to two
or three yards in diameter, sometimes
much larger ; we have seen, on on»» or
two occasii ns, fields several a.-res in
extent, and such expanses are probably
more frequent nearer tbe center of its
area of distribution. They consist of a
single layer of feathery bunches of the
weed ( Sargajsum bacciferum), not
matted, but floating nearly free of one
another, only sufficiently entangled for
the mass to keep together. Each tuft
has a central brown thread-like branch
ing stem studded with round air vesi
cles on short stalks, most of those near
the center dead and coated with a beau
tiful netted white polyzoon.
After a time vesicles so incrusted

tle separate white balls A short way
from the center, toward the end of the
branches, the serrated willow-like leaves
of tbe plant begiu ; at first brown and
rigid, but becoming, further on in tbe
branch, paler, more delicate and more
active in their vitality. The young
fresh leaves aud air vesicles are usually
ornamented with the stalked vases of
a Campanularia. The general color
of the mass of weed is thus olive in all
its shades, but the golden olive of the
young and growing branches greatly
predominates. This color is, however,
greatly broken up by the delicate
branching of the weed, blotched with
the vivid white of the incrusting poly
zoon, and riddled by reflections from
the bright blue water gleaming through
the spaces in tbe network. The gener
al effect of a number of such fields and
patches of weed, in abrupt and yet
mobt harmonious contrast with the
lanes of intense indigo which separate
them, is very pleasing."
The animal life of this area is char
acteristic and has certain peculiarities
well worthy the attention of the stu
lent. It consists of shelless mollusks,
as the Scillcea prlagicia. a short-tailed
crab, the Nautilograptu* minutux,
quantities of membranipora, aud a pe
uliar fish, known as the Antennaria*
inarmoratua. The winter was fortu
nate in observing the latter on the out
skirts of this vast area. It forms one
of the most interesting examples of the
many creatures that find safety in pro-,
tective resemblances As above men
tioned, the weed as it floats assumes
all shades of olive, and the fish in color
is its exact prototype, flecked with ir
regular patches of darker and lighter
shades. Not only in color does it mim
ic the weed, but in general appearance,
the head and fins being dotted here and
there with fantastic barbels of flesh
that to the ordinary observer eoern bits
of weed growiug upon it. Even the
white polyzoon growing on the alira 1 is
imitated, and a careful examination is
.ecessary to distinguish the fish from
its surroundings. It was oltener found
lying in among the w«»d, but where
the patches were small, was frequently
seen lazily swtmming around in clear
water. Its nest is no less a curiosity.
It is a round or oval ball of weed, in

the branches; then the invisible bands
are wound around, gradually drawing
them into the oval form, about as large

A NEW DEPARTURE.
An advertising agent for o::c of the
great circus combinations had been in
Detroit for a week past, and yesterday
sat down along enough to answer a few
questions. The interview started off as
follows :
'How many diamond pins will you
wear this summer, and what will be
their value ?'
'1 shall not wear any. Our show has
made a new departure iu that matter,
and nobody except the man in the tick
et wagou will be allowed to wear dia
monds. lam just going up to tbe ex
press office to send my seven p:ns, four
aud sleeve buttons home to my
brother.'
'How many ejnsolidated shows do
you advertise?'
'Only thirteen, but we have exactly
sixteen. We do not intend to do any
blowiug this summer, but will practice
the modesty dodge. We have twelve
clowns, but advertise only ten. We
have teu elephants, but advertise only
eight, aud so on right through.
'Have you the only man iu the world
who can turu a somersault over sixteen
horses ?'
'No; there is another man who can
do it, and although he is in the State
prison we didn't want to say we had
the only one. We shall practice no de
ception and carry no humbugs.'
'Have you "he only baby elephant V
'Yes, sir, but we don't advertise it.
We don't want to be mean towards
other combinations.'
'Have you twice as much capital in
vested as I'.nv other traveling" show V
'Yes, sir, but we don't say so on the
bills. The public don't care about the
capital, but want to see tbe animals.'
'Will your street parade be a mile
long ?'
'Two of them, sir, but we don't ad
vertise that fact. We let the people
come aud be agreeably surprised.'
'Have you got an eiepbant that has
killed seven men ?'
'Seven ! Why he's laid out eight this
very winter! I think the list foots up
thirty-two, but we don't advertise it.
An elephant is an elephant, and what's
tbe use of bl wing about it ?'
'You have three or four man-eating
tigers, of course ?'
•Of course—seven or eight of them,
and we also have a list of the names of
people who have been eaten by them,
bu we make no blow about it.'
'Have you a boa-constrictor forty
eight feet long V
'We have one sixty-two feet long.
He's the longest and largest snake
ever imported, but we give him only
one line on our bills.'
'Have yon the sacred cow of India ?'
'Yes, sir, and the sacred ox of Japan,
and a sacred calf and a sacred pig, but
we don't blow over 'em. Wo let the
public come in and separate the sacied
from the unsacred themselves.'
'Will you have two circus rings?'
'We shall have four, but we don't
put it on our bills. As I told you at the
start we are making a new departure.
We shall not exaggerate. We shall
not even tell the plain truth. No dia
monds—no trumpets—no snide chall
enges—no humbug offers, no field of tbe
cloth of gold. We are going to sail
along in a gentle, modest way and give
tbe people five times the worth of their
money. That's all, children half price
and no lemonade sold in the tent.
THE TR UE PRINCIi LE.
Paul lays down tbe true principle in
this grand passage (I Cor. VIII. 9, to
the end): "Take heed lest by any
means this liberty of yours become a
stumbling block to them that are weak.
For if any man see thee which bast
knowledge sit at meat in the idol's
temple, shall not the conscience of bitu
that is weak be emboldened to eat
those things which are offered to idols;
and through thy knowledge shall the
weak brother peri'sh for whom Christ
died? Cut when ye sin so against the
brethren, and wound their weak con
science, ye sin against Christ. Where
fore, if meat tuake my brother to offend,
I will eat no flesh while the world
standeth, lest I make my brother to of
fend."
Here we have a declaration of total
abstinence as strong as ever was utter
ed. Just change the terms from meat
offered to idols—which Paul and other
!-trong believers could eat without in
jur v, askincr no questions—to intoxica
ting drinks, and see bow the noble and
generous principle laid down by tbe
apostle applies to it with even greater
force, biuding the disciple of Christ to
abstain for his brother's sake, even
though he himself is not supposed to be
iu danger. This principle will apply
to wine or other mild intoxicants, as
well as to distilled spirits, which had
no existence in Paul's day. Standing
on this foundation, the advocate of to
tal abstinence and of prohibition can
defy tbe world and even extort its ad
miration. Hut when he betakes him
self to extravagant and untenable posi
tions, he does violence both to physical
science and sound interpretation, and
i enters an arena of doubtful disputation,
thus weakening his cause and insuring
| his failure.
In Paul's day the eating of meats
offered to idols imperiled weak believ
-1 ers by drawing them back to idolatrous
practices; hence tbe importance he at
taches to it. Tbc r e were no distilled
' spirits at that day, therefore it was
not so necessary to insist upon total
abstinence from intoxicating drink as
it is now. Hut the principle which he
lays down in tbe matter of idolatrous
practices, which were so dangerous to
weak souls then, is just as applicable
now to the drinking usages of society,
by which multitudes of weak and in
cautious people are led astray and
drowned in destruction and perdition
A dirty hog, besides being disgust
ing to look at, says Col. F. D. Curtis,
cannot possibly be healthy. ; Hence
the pens should be kept clean.
There is no reason why 'creamery'
butter should be better than that made
