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.

Advantages of College Training.
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

'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.

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.
Soule in New York Journal.
A Grand Marine Phenomenon.
A beautiful marine phenomenon in the
shape of an electrical storm is recorded by
the Sunderland steamer Fulwell on her
voyage from Bremen to Baltimore. The
electrical display occurred after dark. The
most peculiar part of the occurrence was
that while tho lightning flashed a winter |
galo was blowing furiously, and the sou j
was running very high. Tho storm lasted j
about two hours, and the captain states
that it was the most remarkable bo ever !
witnessed. The ship at times seemed ablaze I
fore and aft, and while 110 damage was
done, it was several times thought that she
had been struck. The very beauty of the
scene was awful. The blackness of the
night was converted into unsurpassed bril
liancy. Even the ocean seemed ablaze, and j
the waves as they dashed upon one another
resembled tongues of fire.—Lightning. '

Curing a Man of u Had Habit.
There is said to bo honor among thieves,
and there is certainly an abundance of Free
masonry generally among traveling men.
But there are exceptions to every rule, and
one of the exceptions is a traveler who will
look over your shoulder while you write,
sneak your notebook and copy out your list
of customers and otherwise show that ho is
not a gentleman. I fixed up one of these
one night splendidly. lie is in the same
lino as myself and had been shadowing mo
for a month. Finally to get rid of him I
secured a copy of a paper published in a
town about 40 miles east and carefully
copied in my notebook the name of^every
man in the list of deaths. After simper I
produced a packet of postal blanks and pro
ceeded to adiiress one to each of these deni
zens in the other world, announcing that 1
would call two days hence.
Directly my bete uoir noticed me I ex
cused myself, and leaving my notebook
open went out for a smoke. I peeped in
through the door aud saw him industrious
ly copying out that death list, and I took
care not to disturb him until he hod got
through. lie sat up half the night getting
through his old business and left by the
early morning train to get a day ahead of
me. I have oftened wondtred how he got
along trying to locate nil the recently do
ceased population of II , but as I carried
out iuy previous intention and went west I
couldn't ascertain. But I effectually shook
off Mr. Peeping Tom, and glorious to re
late when we meet now he will not speak
as we pass by.—Cor. St. Louis Globe-Dem
