FREELAND, PA., JULY 20, 1883. The patriotic editor of the New Havon Evening Register recently suggested to the municipal authori ties the propriety of displaying the national colors from a liberty polo on the puhlib square of tho town. The idea was generally approved, but the city council pleaded poverty; where upon the editor proved that his pa triotism was substantial by generous ly proposing to defray the cost of placing the ilag in position and of keeping it fluttering in the New Eng land breeze. This oiler has been accepted, and henceforth from sunrise to sunset Old Glory will wave ovor tho town. Senator Vorhees, whoso long con gressional experience inakos his opinion valuable, takes no stock in the talk about the extra session being a short one. Spending of it he said; "Congress will probably bo in contin uous session until August 15, 1804, if not longer." Representative Wil son, of West Virginia, the gentleman who thought to stand the best chance of being tho chairman of tho ways and means committee of the houso, should Mr. Springer not got it again, also thinks the extra session will run into the regular session and that tho latter will bo an unusunlly long ono. Mr. Wilson thinks the tariff will be taken up just as soon as the ways and means committee is announced by Speaker Crisp, and it is expected that will be immediately after the house goes through formality of re electing Mr. Crisp speaker. Notwithstanding all tho newspaper talk about an administration pro gramme for the extra session of con gress, it can bo positively stated that there will be no such thing as an ad ministration programme. President Cleveland will in his message en deavor to make the necessity for the repeal of ihe Sherman silver law per fectly plain to congress, and in that he will not overstep tho bounds of his constitution rights, but bo Las no idea of attempting to dictate a pro gramme to congress. He will merely point out what, in his judgoment, ought to be done, leaving to con gress to consider tho ways and means of how it shall be done, or whether it shall be done at all. The programme for the extra session will bo arranged by congress after it meets and not by any single indiviual and any attempt to outline it befuro the membors of congress have an op portunity to consult upon it is noth ing more or less than guesswork. It is becoming more apparent that there is to be a battle of the giants, during the coming session of congress on the silver question. In nil sections of the country business men and com mercial bodies are bestirring them selves to exercise all the influence in power to decide the question one way or another. It goes without saying that most of these are in favor of the repeal of tho Sherman law. Hut wo in the east aro apt to underestimate tho rtrength of certain olements in the south and west, which will play important parts in the approaching struggle. Before any legislation can be accomplished there will be a tre mendous fight in congress; such a fight as the country has not soon for many a year. In the heat of this con test party lines will be lost sight of. There will bo no dodging tho issuo. Every man will havo to show his true colors. The result will bo a new alignment of political parties. The fact will become apparent to all that tho Democratic party is to unwieldy for effective action, that it contains certain incongruous elemeuts, which only serve to injure it, and which had better be cast out entirely. Aside from tho settlement of tho silver question, the extra session will thus be fruitful in developments which will materially change Ihe entire poli tical field. In this shaking up of parties the Democratic party will come out stronger and healthier than over, oven though it loso elightly in numbers. The Republicans, on the other hand, have nothing to gain and much to lose. Ijane'M Medicine Movbh the Rowels Kiuili I>y. In order to be healthy this is necussary.

Most of our magazine writejs? state the truth and nothing but the tenth, but they do not state the wholq truth. The Forum fur June supplied an example of this in itn article by I'rofessor Charles F. Thwing on the prciportion of college bred men among t.xose of sufficient distinc tion to in a well known cycle podig,- of biography. He finds that of tbb 15,143 men named in the book, 5,87e are college men, or slightly more thar. one-third. This ho considers exceeding ly significant, hut it is more apparent than real. As well claim that colleges make religious men because such a large proportion are clergymen. That our colleges are the mothers of great men goes without saying. Fools cannot go to college if they would, and stupid dolts without talent or ambition would not if they conld. Many college bred men would have nchioved success without this training. Perhaps more than a fow would have cris- " I n greater distinction if they hr. 1 never scon the in side of a college building. To deny that a college training is a benefit to a young man is pernicious nonsenso. But the question to consider is whether it pays for tho timo and ex penso. Collogo training does not create poets, but it sweetens the poet's song. It does not make great writers or artists or inventors, but it teaches them how to use the greatness that is and waß within —*it* gives them a new birth and a new life. Whether it pays a bright young man to spend four of the best years of his life in a college to possess that which today is often a drug in the market, or whether he had best devote four years to a course of self instruction outeido a college, is a question ho can host decide for himself. But lie should not forget that it is a pretty good experiment to take a chanco npon. The Passion For the OUI. It is a rather interesting fact that many devices und contrivances that havo been ousted from tho utilitarian field by the march of progress are now employed as means of amusement by persons who have time to devote seriously to pleasure seeking. Thus the spinning wheels of our grandmothers aro /'to ho found con spicuously placed in the homes of such of us as had grandmothers, and tho hall clock of other days is seen in many a palatial homo. Yet our women never sjiin on the wheels, and if wo desire to know the correct time wo consult our chronometers aud not grandfather's clock. When our ancestors desired to go on long land journeys, they took passage on a fast 4-horse < mail coach, albeit they grumbled at the> discomforts of the trip. When they hail 1 , to go by sea, they took a ship. Today tho rich at groat expense maintain coaches as m ar duplicates of tho old timo "mails" as possiblo for long pleasuro trips, and tho sailing of swift yachts, long since left lieliind I>y steam in tho domain of usefulness, is tho most important and costlyfsport of tho age. Will it always be so? When the devel opment of electrical! science has been so perfected that we gu from point to point in swift airships, will clubs of wealthy gentlemen bo formed 1 for the purpose of maintaining tho ancient lines of rail that tho club members and their friends may enjoy riding in thefold way behind the snorting, puffing Iron horse? And will : the gentlemen of leisure of those future ' days act as enginei drivers as tho coach- j ing men of today take the box und the place of the professional coachmen of our grandfathers' time? Crying For Funds. Tho great seats of leurning in the country arc ngain crying for further en dowments. Considering tho amount of money that has been poured into the treasuries of tho more popular institu tions like Harvard and Yale during the past decade, this may seem a little singu lar, but it is not. First class colleges now require hundreds of professors, and they are paid better than formerly. Then the investment of collogo funds must be ab solutely safe, and the income so secured is derived from a low rate of interest. Iu fact, higher education has become almost uuiversally eleemosynary. We quostion, however, whether it lias any stronger claims upon people of wealth than the primary education of tho young. So long as there is a child in tho land that cannot attend school owing to pov erty, tho rich can be excused from en dowing universities. By all means lot errand boys and dis trict messenger boys have bicycles. The time they consume running errands and delivering messages increases according to the length of their service. A new and inexperienced lad Is usually a treas ure; tho celerity with which ho runs er rands is surprising. But when the new Is worn off, his feet seem to bo made of lead. If tho bicycle will prevent expe rience from becoming a positive detri ment, by all means let him have it. Those who really need vacations will not get them, and those who do not will soon sojourn by tho sea or mountain. The Bible idea still exists: "To him that hath shall bo given, and to him that hath not shall bo taken away even thut which he hath."

How tho Union f'uvulry Escaped From Stonewall Jocknon'B Clutches at Harper's Ft> r , y—A Heed Worthy of Forrest—Tho Story of a Participant. [Copyright. lWttl, by American Press Associa tion. Book rights reserved.] IT IS not only dis heartening but most distressing to soldiers to find themselves sur rounded by an ac tive enemy, all hope of lighting gone and no alter native but to sur ' prefer fighting to surrendering if 11 c^ance to 'wfmji. ° U L but the deci • ' sion is seldom left to the voice of tho V ' very ones who will \ wx v suffer most if it - comes to u forlorn battle. Stonewall Jackson surrounded the Union post at Harper's Ferry on Sept. 13, 1802. He had 20,000 men. The garrison of Harper's Ferry numbered over 13/hh). Tho position Is low ground on a neck of land formed by junction of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers and is surrounded fit closo range by a series of heights from 000 to 1,000 feet above the water. Jackson planted his camion on the heights ready to bombard the works, but delayed opening firo for some time. The officers of the garrison, as is usual in such cases, were divided as to what ought to be done to save the post, or at least the men and their arms. The commaudunt, Colonel Dixon S. Miles, urged that fighting would be a waste of life and that he bail no au thority to abandon the place, having been ordered to hold it. One of those who dis sented from this view was Lieutenant Colo nel B. F. Davis, leader of tho Eighth New York cavalry, a regiment forming part of the cavalry force of 1,300 horse included in the garrison. Late on the 14th Colonel Davis, known in the service as "Grimes" Da vis, with Colonel JTashrouck Davis of tho Twelfth Illinois cavalry, devised a schme to save their commands. "Grimes" Davis was a native of Alabama aud may have had a personal incentive in not wishing to be taken prisoner. lie was an officer in the regular army and had served in the south west before the war with many of the Con federate leaders arrayed against him at Harper's Ferry. In the early days of the war the southerner who stuck by the Union ilag was considered by the south a traitor to his people. Tho idea of escaping from Harper's Ferry as things stood was a bold one. The Vir ginia shore was alive with Confederates, and tho Maryland region just north of Har per's Ferry was occupied by the main army of Lee. The details of the escape are told in plain soldier language in a sketch of the Eighth New York cavalry written by Henry Norton. After a brief account of the open ing of the siege by Jackson's army the nar rator says: "Tho colonel made preparations to go out with his regiment and what cavalry re mained there--two regiments and two detachments, numbering 1,300 in all. He got one of the old settlers who knew the country well to pilot him through Mary land, which wa9 then occupied by tho Con federate General Longstreet's corps. He Igul a scout watching the enemy's move ments, for he knew the only way to get out was through Longstreet's lines. "On the 14th of September everything was ready for us to get out of the Ferry if we could. In tho evening about 8 o'clock we were drawn up in line, and our sutler, knowing that he could not get out with his goods, gave tho boys what he had on hand. We crossed tho Potomac to the Maryland side on a pontoon bridge. Before we crossed each captain gave orders that each man of Ids company must follow his file leader, and that no other orders would lie given. We crossed the river by twos, while the colonel with bis pilot went ahead to clear the road. When the head of the column got across the river, the men would start off ut full speed, so by tho time tho last man was across the head of the line was 10 miles away. 1 was near the rear of the line, and tho way we went was a cau tion. Each horse went as fast as he could go. By the time all had crossed it was dark. Dark was no name for it. It was just the right kind of anight for such an undertaking. Tho only way one could tell how far we were from our file leader was by tho horses' shoes striking fire on the stones. Sometimes wo would bo 20 yards away from our file leader and then would come up full drive. Then we would hear some tall swearing. That was the way we went for several miles. The advance drove the enemy's pickets in soon after crossing the river. The Confederates were surprised to see Yankees coming from that direction. They thought we were cooped up in the Ferry and did not dare come out. SKIRMISH AT SIIARPSnURG. "About two miles from where the enemy's pickets were driven in the Confederates barricaded the road to stop us. The colonel knew what they would do, so before we got there he went across lots and gave them the slip. The pilot knew every foot of the ground in Maryland, and the scout knew how Longstreet's corps was situated, hav ing come from there about an hour before we started from the Ferry. The colonel had his route mapped out before we start ed. He was bound to go through or die in the attempt. He managed to avoid the Confederates until he reached Sharpsburg, 10 miles from Harper's Ferry, where tho advance had a brush with them. It did not last long, as the colonel ordered a chargo and drove the enemy back. They retreated to camp, giving the alarm that the whole Yankee army was upon them. We learned afterward from some prisoners taken that tho whole of I.ongstreel's corps stood in lino the rest of the night, expecting to be attacked. "As I was riding along trying to keep up to my file lender my horse kept shy ing every little while. Come to find out, there were cavalry horses lying in the road. They had been ridden so fast that they had dropped down dead by the wayside. "About two miles out we began to go through tho fields. Wo would go in tho fields for awhile and then back in tAe road again. At one time we were so close to the enemy's camps that we could see the Con federates plainly by their cainpflres. On we went at full speed. I did not think at first that they were Confederates. I said to my file leader, William R. Guile: 'Bill, what is the use of the colonel going far ther? Here are our troops.' Bill paid: 'They are not our troops. They ore Con federates.' I said to Bill, 'We are goners, for we will all bo captured.' "When the advance reached Sharpsburg, 10 miles from Harper's Ferry, they made a halt, so that we could close up and let our horses get their wind, for we had been on a keen scoot ever since we left the river. We Mid not stay there long, perhaps half an hour. Then we went on again across flats, over fences, through creeks, as usual. We had to travel on byroads, for the enemy had pickets on all main roads. We had gone through Longstreet's corps. A great many would say that it was an impossibil ity for a force of 1,800 cavalry to do that. Had it not been in the night, and had the colonel not managed just us he did, wo could not have done it. The Confederates were taken by surprise, for they thought we had a large force. So they waited for us to attack them. But wo had other busi ness about that time. All we wanted was to get out of there. If they would let us alone, we would them. "After we left Sharpsburg we did not come across any more Confederates until we struck the pike running from Hagors town, Md., west to Williamsport on tho Potomac. Just before we reached the pike we halted in a piece in the woods. We could hear wagons rumbling along the road ahead of us. The colonel went forward to recon noiter, and when he got to the road he soou found that it was a Confederate wagon train. As soon as he saw them it came into his head to capture that train. Tho train was guarded by 500 oVOOO cavalry and some infantry. The cavalry was in tho rear of the train, the infantry in front. "When the advance of tho wagon train came along to the crossroad, tho colonel in sisted that they should turn to the right on the pike that ran north into Pennsylvania. After he got the train started 011 that rood he sent for the Eighth New York. This was just before daylight. We went ahead and took possession of tho train. The Twelfth Illinois cavalry kept tho Confed erate cavalry in check while we were pass ing by the teams to take our places. One of the Confederate teamsters said to me, 'To what regiment do you belong?' " 'The Eighth New York,' I replied. " 'The hell you say!' "Only the drivers of a few of the head teams knew then that they were prisoners. The rest did not know it until after day . "NO, RIB; YOU WILL GO WITH ME." light. It wus ft big undertaking. The colo nel might lose his whole command by do ing it. At daylight we had the train all on the road that runs to Greencastlc, Pa. Then came the tug of war to see if we could hold it. It was an ammunition train of nearly 100 wagons, with six mule teams to each wagon. We took between 200 and 800 prisoners who hail crawled into the wagons to ride. One of them was an officer, an old acquaintance of Colonel Davis. He got out of the wagon, and after talking over old times a few minutes with the colonel said .to him, 'I suppose for old acquaintance sake you will let me go to my command?' " 'No, sir; you will go with me,' the colo nel replied. "That was enough. lie went. "Luck seemed to follow us all tho way through. It was one of the greatest feats of the war. After the teamsters found that they were prisoners, weren't they mad? Mad was no name for it. They tried to stop the train. One fellow got off from his mule and began to unhitch the team from the wagon. Another tried to set fire to the straw in which the shells were packed. We put a stop to that. A cavalryman rode by the side of every driver and told him that ho must keep his team going, for wo would shoot the first man who did not obey orders. That quieted them. "So on we went. Wo had not gone a great many miles when we heard firing in the rear. Those in udvance thought it was all day with them, but our rear guard kept the enemy in check. The Confederate cavalry followed us up a number of miles. The reason they did not retake the train was that they did not know how much force we had and wore afraid of getting too far north lest they might be drawn into a trap. So they let us go with our prize. Wo kept tlio rain going as fast as wo could and arrived in Greencastle about 9 o'clock a. m. 011 the 15th. When we arrived, the inhabitants at first would not believe what we hail done; that we had marched from Harper's Ferry (over 80 miles), gone through Longstreet's corps and taken nearly 100 wagons from the enemy in 12 hours." It was indeed a bold exploit. Forrest never carried out one that excelled it in en ergy or daring. Ah a reward for his pluck Davis was pro moted to lead a brigade. He was the !n flpiring genius of the movement, and his success set the country north and south agog with astonishment that the whole garrison of Harper's Ferry did not follow the cavalry out. The first cavalry battle of tho Gettysburg campaign, the meeting between Stuart and Pleasonton on tho banks of the Rappa hannock river, at Beverly Ford and Brandy Station, June 9, 1803, cut short the career of the bold leader of that escape. He was instantly killed at the head of his brigade while fighting Jones' cavalry. His brigade was in General Buford's division, and he would doubtless have succeeded that offi cer on his retirement a few months later and would have been tho peer of Kilpat rick.TorlH.rt, Custer, Gregg and Wilson as a bold marshal of squadrons. Gjcouuk L. Kulmjul A WIFE'S DEVICE. Tall, bold, dark and wowuiug WJIS the outline of the old castlo, as looming up against the gray sky of a winter twilight it first met the gaze of the illustrious man who had been condemned to a fettered life. : And as the drawbridge was lowered behind ! his slow and weary steps and the massive doors swung to again when he had crossed the threshold, ho felt that he was indeed immured forever, that it was idle to cherish the painful hope of escape, that his dun geon was a living grave. The first night speut in his lonely cell seemed an eternity in length. In vain did he toss upon his stonelike bed and strive to sleep, while liis passionate paces between his narrow walls oidy tore and bruised his feet and fatigued his limbs without bring ing on aught of that wholesome weariness which dims the eye and benumbs the feel ings. Never seemed sunlight so beautiful to him, not even when abroad of a summer's morn ho had watched its golden tides flood the broad landscape that lay like pictured beauty before his vision, as did that first faint ray that streamed in through the grated window and played amid the fur rows which anxiety had drawn upon his brow, as with t ho rude touch of the tortur ing iron. Like the finger of Divinity writ ing there a choice and beautiful blessing seemed that sunbeam, that one, stray, gold colored ray from tlie arching sky, from the fetterless world without. The prido and the majesty of his man hood came back to the captive. More like royalty sitting in purple robes, to be ad ministered unto, than aught else, seemed he to the jailor when a hours later he appeared to replenish the scanty table. He could not divine the cause of the sud den and mighty change. He could hardly realize that the lofty and commanding form which now seemed so proudly to tower above him was the same bowed and trembling one that lie had half dragged thither a weary burden but the night be fore. Well was it for the illustrious prisoner that his soul had grown so strong. Never else could he have endured the severe and rigorous treatment which was continually imposed upon him. Never else could he have endured the separation from his young and beautiful wife—the fair, delicate crea ture that had slept in his bosom like a flower on a sunlit bank or a bird in a hid den nest, filling his heart with thofragrance and music of summer. But never yet did iron bolts or oaken doors or grated windows resist forever wo man's will; never yet was heart so stern but that at some moment it would have a kindly mood, and though months passed on ere she gained her way her patient daily and nightly toil wus at length successful, and one sunny morn in springtime when the greeting sunbeam hud shown a broader, brighter light tho door of tho dungeon swung open, and tho companion of his life and labors, palo and thin with weariness and care, but with a spiritual loveliness that mode her seem almost angelic in ap pearance, appeared before bis astonished sight, and ere ho could press his brow to know whether it were not tho phantasy of a rapturous dream she fell on his bosom, wound her soft arms about liim and whis pered: "Thine, tliina They could not keep me from thee." Once immured beside him, the same love that had sued so long and truly for that sad yet blessed privilege became earnest in en deavors to set him free. They had friends enough outside the castle walls to bear liim at once to a place of safety, but within there was none but cold, callous hearted guards, whom she dared not attempt u bribe, lest discovery should sentence them to a deeper and darker cell. But one day, when months of weary waiting had passed, she obtuiued permis sion of tho jailer to examine a large chest of books and linen belonging to themselves the key of which had been intrusted to his care. He tarried by her side as she drew from it one and another urticle, till he was satisfied that nothing had been smuggled into it tliAt could either aid to soothe or liberate them, and then went his way with out the least idea that through her mind had flashed a thought of freedom. At nightfall, when he drew the bolt, with matronliko anxiety upon her brow, she begged he would obtain leave for her to send to a friend just outside tho castlo gates and have her take charge for awhile of her chest of linen, for though, and she sadly smiled as she spoke the words, its owner grew white shut up within a dun geon, that grew gray and yellow and would soou bo ruined. It was so simple a request, so womanly a one, that it was granted without the least ado, und early tho next morn the oaken chest was borne away—borne away, not with linen in it to whiten in the dew and sunshine, not with moldering volumes, but with a human form, crouched almost out of shape, its thin white hands pressing convulsively its beating heart, lest its wild, loud pulses should echo forth, its pale lips pressed with frantic motion to the tiny breathing apertures which had been drilled with painful toll. Who may picture forth the weary hours of that long, lonely day, as the captive wife on bended knees and with streaming eyes poured forth to heaven her prayers of love, or who may tell how anxiously her bosom throbbed lest the jailer should discern her falsehood and ascertain that the roll of linen covered up so carefully 011 the couch and'willed her sick and almost dying hus band was but a ruse to hide his flight till she could feel that he was safe? "The heart knoweth its own bitterness." Hers bad a gall no drop of which can bo expressed in words. Yet proudly did she demean herself, when at length the story came to light—so proud ly, and yet so womanly, that the stern judges, who, when first they heard the tale, 1 condemned her without a trial to an ini- •[ prisonment for life in the same dungeon from which she had freed her husband, re lented of their harsh decree and gave her not only the freedom whicli she craved, but a laurel wreath which will be fresh and greeu so long as the name of wife is a cher ished and a holy word.—Mrs. Caroline A.
