TERROR IN BATTLE. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OP A VETERAN. Anecdotes of Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Malvern Hill, Antietam, etc. During the war we used to road of companies falling back, regiments giving ground, and brigades becoming demoralized, and the average reader took it for cowardica and openly ex pressed his contempt. No man ever went into battle twice alike. No com pany, regiment or brigade were ever situated twice alike. A man may be very brave in one battle and very timid in the next. His *physicial and mental conditions have much to do with it. A private soldier knows the position of his entire brigade in a tight. If the position is a strong one he is encouraged: if the flanks are exposed or the defenses weak he is nervous and apprehensive. It is a grand stake the soldier plays for in battle. If lie wins he may live on until the next light. If he loses he gets a headstone in a national cemetery. I cannot make yon understand the situation better than to give you per sonal experiences. The great majority of soldiers had the same feeling and passed through the same experiences. At first Bull Kun my brigade gained ground for several hours. This, with a small loss of men, kept us encour aged. Indeed, it was hard for the officers to restrain us. livery man was hopeful and determined, and any single company would have charged a regiment. The panic had upset thous ands before it touched us. Indeed, the retreat had been going on for two hours before we got word. We were well ;n hand and ready to advance when the news reached us. In five minutes every man was shaky. In ten minutes men whose faces were powder-stained were sneaking out of the ranks to gain the rear. In a quarter of an hour half a company of confederates could have driven the whole brigade like a Hock of sheep. I saw men cry like children. 1 saw others tremble and sit down from weakness. Every fresh report added to the feeiivg of terror, and by and by pride and discipline gave way to a grand rush, and it was every man for himself. No one would stop to rea son. No one cared whether his com rade was ahead or behind. This was called cowardice, but it was not. It was panic—the terror of battle—a senseless but powerful something winch seizes tlie bravest men and makes children of them. In (he streets of Fredericksburg 1 saw Federal soldiers discharge their muskets into the air, when the enemy was within point-blank range. I saw plenty of them drop on their faces and tremble and groan and cry. This was a case where every man saw the hope lessness of attack, lie felt that he was pushed forward to he shot down. There was 110 way for retreat until the lines should fall back. On the other hand, the confederate troops posted behind the stone wall at the foot of Mayre's Hill joked and smoked, and were in the highest spirits, feeling themselves secure from bullets and knowing they could beat back any force. One of them told me that after taking a dead aim 011 thirteen difl'erent men and dropping every one of them he refrained from liring the next quar ter of an hour out of sheer pity for the human targets being shoved up to meet death. At Malvern Hill my regiment lay in the dry bed of a creek at the foot of the elevation. It was a natural rifle pit, ami sheltered us so well that we 'iad only a slight loss in killed and wounded. As -he confederates charg ed across the fields we felt !o pity them. We poured in our volleys without fear of danger in return, an 3 out of live confederates who rushed into our lines in their bewilderment three were cry ing and sobbing. It wasn't cowardice but terror. No coward could have been induced to march across those meadows in the face of that tcrrilic lire from cannon and musketry. At Cold Harbor, after beating off everything in our front, and while most of the men were cheering, some one started the report that the confed erates had gained our rear. Two thousand men broke back like a lot of boys, some even throwing their guns away, and the jeers of the other troops had no effect until the frenzy had had time to evaporate. At Gettysburg my regiment had the cover of a stonewall, and we knew that we were well sup ported. We hoped for a charge, and when it came every man was cool and calm and confident. One hand of prisoners numbering about thirty was led past us on their way to the rear, and I noticed (hat many were crying and all were whitefaced. 1 have seeu the best soldiers and the oldest fighters win their medals in one battle and show tho white feather in the next. I saw a second lieutenant almost cry for the privilege of leading a charge at Antietam, and yet at Chantilly he fell into a ditch and pretended to be so hit as to drop behind in the charge. Cowards never goto war. If they get into the ranks through the draft they desert or commit suicide. It is only brave men who face the grim monster on a field of battle, and next to the foe bis worst enemy is a terror whicli siezes him as a chill or fever might come on, and there is no remedy for it except to get away from tho screaming missiles of death until onc'i nerve and sand return. Old (inbricl. Old Gabriel was one of the most re markable characters on the coast. So far as can be learned by tradition, ho was born about 1740; though there is no record of his birth, and even in the early days when California was still tho roving ground of the Mission Indians, around whom so many romances have been built. Gabriel was too aged foi the old men of the time to remember his childhood. As a venerable chief, who died a few years ago at the ago of 115, put it, "Gabriel was an old man when the Indians of his age wcr? still boys." The storv of tho old fellow's life is interesting, chiefly on account of the length of years it covered, and not by reason of valorous deeds or relentlcsi warfare. He was on tho whole c peaceable creature' ignorant and faith ful. The story of his life lias been hand* eil down anions the Franciscan mis sionaries;, who came into California more than a century ago, and when Father Jiuiipero arrived in M nterey in 1709 Gabriel, then a grandfather, was among the little band who receiv ed him. The missionary took an in terest 111 the man, who was at the time a strapping fellow of six feet and not long after baptized him and guided him into the Catholic faith. 110 worked for the Church, conscientiously continuing his devotions until a few years since, and one of the few things which during his last days brought hack the old light in Gabriel's dim eyes was the mention of Father Juni pero's name. It drew out, from him in broken Spanish the story of Father Junipero's first mass under a tree, nil the build ing of the ('annelo mission of adobe, its obliteration, and i's reconstruction in stone, much of which was cut by old Gabriel's own hands. J1 is services were also demanded during the build ing of the Sulcdad and San Antonio missions in 1791. From that time 011 bis life seems to have been unusually quiet, and though Father Sorrcntine made a search of the records and gathered together all the current stories of the remarkable fellow, little of u sensational nature ever came to light, though his great age was clearly established. Gabriel lived in Monterey for years, but toward the close of his career he was a familiar figure on the streets of Salinas, well known for his love of bright colors, with which his clothes were patched from shoulder to slice. 11 is personal habits were worthy a Cultured white man, and to them no doubt, was due his long life. His food was of the simplest character and his practises a model of regularity. He paid particular attention to bathins, and, as old age and circumstances de prived him of the means of attending to this custom, in lien of his bath he scraped his skin with an old knife, thus keeping the pores open. There are some old residents of tho county who well remember the sweathouse that old Gabriel had on the bank of a creek where he lived many years ago and the persistency with which it was used. His memory up to about five or six years ago was very good and and was equal to what, it had been for the fifty years preceding; but since that, and more particularly during tho last two years, it gradually failed, as did his speech. The Indians all attribute Gabriel's longevity to his having been the first to submit to the priest's baptism. They looked upon him with great rev erence, and even to white men he was a remarkable character, for had (ieorge Washington lived he would have been scarcely older, and in all modern his tory there are few such cases as that of the old, ignorant Mission Indian Gabriel.—San Francisco Chronicle. Keep E-RK Out of the Refrigerator. An English medical journal says that eggs become unwholesome when kept in a refrigerator, as a fungus forms in them which is easily found by tho microscope, though not noticeable to the taste. PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Truth in one age is error in the next. Good maimers cover defects for a time. The best government is self-govern ment. Bettor a crust with honor and in tegrity than untold millions won by fraud and dishonor. The more business a man has to do the more he is able to accomplish, for he learns to economize his time. Love is the loadstone of life. Smiles, cheering words, and helpful deedo are the sunshine of oui days. Kill out, the superstitions with the truths of science. Banish gods and ghosts by the light of knowledge and reason. The good can never be happy while seeing others miserable around them. The truly kind will share their last crust even with the starving cur. Be ready to face all thy words and all tliv deeds, and life will then have 110 pitfalls for the; nor wilt thou have cause to fear death or aujht that may come after it. How a man's truth comes "to miQd, long after we have forgotten all his words! llow it comes to us in silent hours, that truth is our only armor in all passages of life and death 1 Styles For Horsewomen. The lively discussion concerning the attire of lady riders seems to have borne fruit, for a few days ago Bourne mouth was scandalized by the appear ance of a lady riding on a cross-saddle, in trowsers. She certainly was a brave woman, for the staring and laughter of the populace seemed to have no effect upon her. Habit-makers, however, deny that ladies intend to adopt tho manly saddle, and they ought to know. One tailor has devised a novelty which is a kind of adaptation of the divided skirt for riding purposes. The habit skirt is dived at tho back, and the loose material forms wide leglets. The great advantage of this skirt is, that should the rider have a fall, there is nothing that could catch onto tho saddle, and I should not bo surprised if it was adopted by many enthusiastic followers of the hounds. I believe there is one siddler in London who confesses to making cyoss-saddles for ladies; but ho admits that the salofor them is extremely small. Some women there are to whom riding is the be-all and end-all of existence, and these oc casionally ride out on cross-saddles. Tint this only in the privacy of their own grounds. Perhaps now, with the example of the Bournemouth lady be fore them, they may grow more bold; but though I rejoice in the freedom of woman, it is a change that should be very sorry to see. The manly costume Is never becoming to the lorm of lovely woman, and 1 hope that, for tho sako perhaps of a little extra comfort, they will not adopt masculine habiliments. Philadelphia Telegraph's London Letter. What nn Author (»ot. Among many agreeable people inter ested in the passage of the Internation al Copyright bill before Congress, which is intended to protect American authors from the piratical publishers abroad, is Julian Hawthorne, the son of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of "The Scarlet Letter," and President Frank Pierre's Consul to Liverpool. Julian Hawthorne is just 40 years of age, 5 feet 11 inches high, educated at a German university, and is an athlete. Julian Hawthorne tells Ids experi ence with one of the best known pub lishing houses in London, which gave him a satisfactory round sum for a short volume of stories, with an agree ment for one-fourth after deducting expenses of publishing. Last July Mr. Hawthorne "eceivcd a polite letter from that firm 'lying they could not make up his acco'nt before the then coining month of January. About the middle of last January a letter came to Mr. Hav'honie enclos ing an itemized account of the lirm. This letter enclosed a eho:k for 48 cents, which was the sum total of Ju lian Hawthorne's profits on his book for the year 1889. Philadelphia In quirer. Gen. ScliPiick's Birthplace. There is a mistake curren in regard to the birthplace of the late General Schenck. It is true that while Robert C. was yet an infant his father remov ed to Franklin, Ohio, hence the error. General Schenck's father was pastor cf the old presbyterian church at Ballston Centre, Saratoga County, N. Y., and in the old partonage, yet standing, on Oct. 4, 1809j Robert C. Schenck was born. The parsonage was also the birthplace ofhnother cel ebrity, Rev. Dr. Samitd I renjens Prime, whoso parents wert on a vi.-it to Rev. Mr. Schenck at tb» time Dr. Prime was born. An Ingenious Walking Stick. A very ingenious combination walk ing cane has been put on the streets and has met with a ready sale. In appear ance the stick looks like an ordinary ebony one, with a large sHver-plated mounting. This head screws off, and in it are stow«d away the seat of a camp stool and a set of dice. It can be used as a drinking cup or dicc-box. The fer rule also screws off and has concealed in it a fan. The stock itself is composed of three pieces of bamboo that make the camp stool. The weight of the cane complete is only thirteen ounces, and the stool is guaranteed to bear with ease a person weighing 200 pounds. This new spring novelty would be a handy com panion for camping out, excursions, baseball, races, fishing and all outdoor tournaments or games. New York Tribune. A Superfluity of Madisons There are twenty-two Madison Post offices in twenty-two of the United States, Madison, Wis., and Madison, Ind., being most noted. The Post masters of these cities advise each other of uncalled for and undelivered letters in their respective offices each week, and thus get many letters for parties intended that would otherwise be sent to the dead letter office and destroyed. A few years since a letter was advertised in Madison, Ind. It was for a Madison, Wis., man and had a ten-dollar bill enclosed. Madison, Ohio, and Madison, Minn., also receive frequent letters that belong to Madison, Wis.— }{udit9i% Jour nal. A Freak of Fashion A freak of fashion tl*fc*ttnic;oi much attention a year or so ago was the red, blue and yellow barred shirt of the heavy swell. One of the peculiarities of this style was to wear a white linen collar. Thus the poor dude at first re ceived the sympathies of his astonished and (initiated friends, who imagined that lie could not positively find in the wide, wide world, a collar to match the out landish style of shirt he had chosen to put on his back. This shirt was made more impressive by being worn with a low cut vest, thou giving the grid-iron bosom full opportunity to loom up after the style of Sing Sing prison bars.—De troit Free Pre**. Meat Cured Without lee. B. F. Plummor, of Indianapolis, Ind., has invented a process for curing meat in warm weather without the use of ice and has applied for a patent. Heclaims that he can cure meat ready for smoking in thirty days and that, he uses nothing ex cept natural agencies. The pork pack ers of Indianapolis arc very much inter ested in the matter, and surprising re sults arc promised. Packers who have seen the meet cured by Plummer's pro cess say that it is equal to ice-cured meat il not better, and that it will result in a great saving to them if it proves to be what they now believe it is.— Chicago Herald.
