t'ol. Dahlgren's Death,
It was now beginning to get dark, and
wo wanted some rest and something to
eat, and crossing a creek we baited in an
old field, where Col. Dablgren took a
short nap. We were soon moving again,
and had not marched above half a mile.
when the advance was stopped by an ob
struction in the road. Lieut. Men-it
rode back and met the Colonel and asked
for more men. The Colonel, Maj. Cook,
mvself and ten or twenty men roda ran
idly to the front, and upon arriving at
tne trees tnat were across the road, we
were met by an order to surrender, both
parties demanding a surrender at the
same time. Col. Dablgren then leveled
his revolver at the person who seemed to
be the officer in command of the Con
federates, but his pistol missed fire. In
an instant a volley was poured into our
left flank the whole length of our line,
and so close that the flashes almost
reached our horses. This caused a stam
pede, as every horse in our command
turned and broke down the road. After
going a few yards we checked up and
crossed a fence on onr right, and formed
on the top of a ridge a few rods from the
road. We now began to look who was
missing, and found that the Colonel was
not on hand. This a number of us were
aware of before, having seen him fall off
his horse by the lignt of the flash of the
guns. Maj. Cooke was not on horseback,
for when we reached the ridge his horse
fell at the same fire that killed the Colo
nel. In fact, there was only one volley;
not a shot fired afterward - nor a man to
be seen. We were allowed to form in
the field in peace, and had we a guide we
might still have reached Gloucester
Point, on Gen. Butler's lines; but we
were now entirely without any knowledge
of the surroundings; the men almost
dead for sleep, and out of ammunition;
the horses about played out, and every
one more or less demoralized. And was
it strange? We had been in the saddle
for twenty-six hours without a halt long
enough to get any sleep. A council was
now held to determine what should be
done, for we did not intend to give up.
It was finally agreed upon to fasten the
horses in a hollow square by fastening
the sabers into the ground, and then
every one try to make his escape. The
commissioned officers Major-. Cooke,
Lieutenant Merritt and myself together
with four scouts and gpides, were to go
in a party. We intended to cross tile
country, going north, and strike the
Rappahannock river below Fredericks
burg and get one of our picket boats.
We left the men and horses and crept
like cats to the woods (the same we were
ambushed from) and through the bushes
about a mile, when it began to break
day, March 3d. We hid in a pine thicket
all day, and at dark set out. I had with
me a compass and a good topographical
map of that part of Virginia, which ena
bled us to select our route. We traveled
this night about two miles, when we were
getting weak for lack of something to eat.
and, coming to a log cabin near the
woods, we made a reconnoissance of the
premises, and found the occupants to be
a white man and woman. We went in
and asked for something to eat, and,
while we were sitting in the house wait
ing for it to be got ready, the door was
opened, ana we were politely told to sur
render, which Major Cooke, being the
ranking officer, very politely did. And
thus ended one of the most extraordinary
expeditions of the year, when we con
sider the number of men and the dis
tance traveled, the number captured and
the amount of damage done the enemy,
and the fact that we were closer to the
city of Richmond than any other Union
troops had been or were until the city
fell into our hands in 1865. We were
taken the next day, March 4th, to
Stevensvilles and from there started to
Lobby in charge of Captain Magruder's
company of cavalry. These troops were
gentlemen, and treated us as well as cir
cumstances would permit. Philadelphia

Curability of Consumption.
The best physicians are coming more
to acknowledge that tubercular consump
tion can be oured.
Dr. Carl Booth of New York, a man
eminent in the regular profession, claims
that he is able to cure sixty per cent, of
consumptives at all stages; and that it is
easy to arrest the disease in its early
stages. His aim is to secure -five points:
1. To get the muscles which control
the action of the lungs into such a con
dition that they can draw the air forcibly
into the finest passages, thus clearing
the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and re
establishing capillary circulation and res
piration in the activity of the air-cells
generally.
2. 'To establish perfeot digestion, as
similation and excretion. In this he
does not seek what to people generally
is the most nutritious and most easily
digested food, but such as the particular
patient can most readily digest and as
similate. 3. To heal the tubercles by transform
ing them into a cretaceous (chalk-like)
mass. He secures this (1) with food
rich in salts of lime; (2) certain miner
als, such as lime and, silica; (3) certain
acids, such as citric, which promote the
oxidation of effete matter.
4. To increase the activity of the air
cells. This is accomplished by bringing
the patients under the influence, as much
as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air,
and bodily exercise. He says: "They
sleep with open windows in summer and
winter, and go out every day. So im
portant is out-door exercise that I insist
hat my patients go out in the rain, snow,
dampness, and even in night air and dew.
I have had no instance for twenty years
where a patient caught cold from such
exposure. I only guard against strong
head winds and extreme hot weather."
5. To prevent all unnecessary waste of
the nervous force, and to employ the lat
ter, as far as possible, in promoting ihe
nutrition of the system. Youth Com

on you.
Bible Names in England.
If we look over the pages of the direc
tories of West Yorkshire and East Lan
cashire, and strike out the surnames, we
could imagine we were consulting an
ciently inscribed registers of Joppa or
Jericho. It would seem as if Canaan
and the West Biding had got inextrica
bly mixed.
What a spectacle meets our eye!
Within the limit of ten leaves we have
three Pharaohs, while as many Hephzi
bahs are to be found on one single page.
Adah end Zillah Pickles, sisters, are
milliners. Jehoiada Rhodes makes saws
not Soloinan's sort and Hariph Craw
shaw keeps a farm. Yashni, from some
where in the Chronicles, page is rescued
from oblivion by Yashni Wilkinson, coal
merchant, who goes to Barzillai William
son, on the same page, for his joints,
Barzillai being a butcher. Jachin,
known to but few as situated in the Book
of Kings, is in the person of Jachin
Firth, a beer retailer, familiar to all his
neighbors. Heber Holdsworth on one
page is faced by Er Illingworth on the
other. Asa and Joab are extremely
popular, while Abner, Adna, Ashael,
Erastus, Eunice, Benaiah, Aquila, Elihu
and Philemon enjoy a fair amount of
patronage. Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego, having been rescued from
Chaldsean fire, have been deluged with
baptismal water. 1 have lighted upon
name after name that I did not know ex
isted in the Bible at all till I looked into
the Lancashire and Yorkshire direc
tories. The Bible has decided the nomencla
ture of the North of England. In towns
like Oldham, Bolton, Ashton and Black
burn, the clergyman's baptismal register
is but a record of Bible names. A cleri
cal friend of mine christened twins Cain
and Abel, only the other day, much
against his own wishes. Another person
on the Derbyshire border was gravely
informed, at the proper moment, that
the name of baptism was Ramoth-Gilead.
"Boy or girl, eh ?" he. asked, in a some
what agitated voice. The parents had
opened the Bible haphazard, according
to the village tradition, and selected the
first name the eye fell on.
It was but a year ago a little child was
christened 'lellno in a town within six
miles of Manchester, at the suggestion of
a cotton -spinner, the father, a workman
of the name of Lees, having asked his
advice. "I suppose it must be a Scrip
ture name," said his master. "Oh, yes,
that's of course." "Suppose you choose
Tellno," said his employer. "That'll
do, replied the other, who had never
heard it before, and liked it the better on
that account. The child is now Tell no
Lees ("Lees" being the Lancashire way
of pronouncing "Lies") the father, too
late, finding that he had been hoaxed.
sirs, was the answer given to a be
wildered curate, after the usual demand
to name the child. He objected, but was
informed that it was a Scripture name,
and the verse "Sirs, what must I do to
be saved?" was triumphantly appealed
to. This reminds one of the Puritan
who styled his dog "Moreover," after the
dog in the uospel: "Moreover the dog
same and licked his sores."
There is, again, a story of a clergyman
making the customary demand as to the
name from a knot of women round the
font. "Ax her," said one. Turning to
the woman who appeared to be indicated,
he again asked, "What name?" "Ax
her," she. replied. The third woman,
being questioned, gave the same reply.
At last he discovered the name to be the
Scriptural Achsah, Caleb's daughter a
name, by the way, somewhat popular
with our forefathers. Curiosities of Pu
ritan Nomenclature.
Popclab Ideas op the Cross. In
the west of England there is a tradition
that the cross was formed of tbe mistle
toe, which before that event used to be a
fine forest tree, but bos since been
doomed to lead a parasitical existence.
The gypsies believe that it was made- of
the ash tree. The nails used at the cru
cifixion, said to have been found by
Helena, are reported to have worked
many miracles. One of them was thrown
by her into the Adriatic during a storm,
and produced a perfect calm. Another,
placed in the crown or helm of Constan
tino, was found in a mutilated state in
the church of Santa Croce. The third is
said to be in the possession of the Dnemo
of Milan, while that of Treves claims
the fourth. In the time of Charlemange
a new relic was discovered in the shape
of a sponge soaked in the blood of
Christ. In Cheshire the Arum macula
turn is called "Gethsemane," because it
is said to have been growing at the foot
of the cross, and to have received some
drops of blood on its petals. "Christ's
thorn" is a very common plant in Pales
tine. In Scotland it was formerly be
lieved that the dwarf birch is stunted in
growth because the rods with which
hrist was scrourged were made from it.
These are the popular ideas of the ma
terial of the cross, some of which will,
perhaps, never be entirely obliterated
until the last great day, when "all
tilings shall be mode plain.'
The Stovepipe Hat. The stovepipe
hat is the great, the sovereign symbol of
modern sociology. It is clumsy, ugly,
uncomfortable ; you can neither sit on
it, nor use it as a pillow, nor depend upon
it as a helmet ; it will spoil in rain or
snow, and it is powerless to preserve you
from sunstroke. And yet life, as we live
it, is at best a struggle for the stovepipe.
For the right of wearing it one day
in the week, the honest poor man sweats
from dawn to dusk, and is encouraged
thereto by his helpmeet. To achieve
this, the indomitable energy that comes
to the city with a half-dollar in its pock
et sets seriously to work, and drudges at
its desk ten hours ontof the twenty-four.
The prince countenances it, the peer can
afford to dally with it, the poet is in
secret its worshiper; to the common mer
chant it is a, diadem ; the artisan is for
the nonce ennobled with it, the school
boy dreams of it, the peesant aspires to
it. Symbolically, it is the solar center
of the social universe.
The Wife's Letters.
On a hot day in July, 1850, a herds
man was moving his cattle to a ranch
farther north, near Helena, Texas, and,
while passing down the banks of a
stream, other cattle that were grazing in
the valley became mixed with his herd,
and some of them failed to be separated.
The next day about noon a band of
mounted "rangers" overtook the herds
man and demanded their cattle, which
they said had been stolen. It was before
the day of law and courthouses in Texas,
and one had better kill five men than
steal a mule worth five dollars, and the
herdsman knew it. He tried to explain,
but they told him to "cut it short." He
offered to turn over all the cattle not his
own, but they laughed at the proposi
tion, and hinted that they usually confis
cated the whole herd, and left the thief
hanging on a tree as a warning to others
in like cases. The poor fellow was com
pletely overcome. The Texans consulted
apart for a few moments, and then told
him if he had any explanations to make,
or business matters to attend to, they
would allow him ten minutes time. He
turned to the rough faces and com
menced :
"How many of you have wives?"
Two or three nodded.
"How many of you have children?"
They nodded again.
"Then I know who I am talking to,
and you'll hear me;'' and he continued:
"I never stole any cattle. I have
lived in these parts about three years. I
came from New Hampshire. I failed in
the fall of 1847, during the panic. I
have been saving. I have no home here;
my family remain in the East, and I go
from place to place. These clothes I
wear are rough, and I am a hard-looking
customer; but this is a hard country.
Days seem like months to me, and
months like years. Married men, you
know that. But for the letters from home
(here he pulled out a handful of well
worn envelopes and letters from his
wife) I should get discouraged. I have
paid part of my debts. Here are the re
ceipts," and he unfolded the letter of ac
knowledgment. I expected to sell out
and go home in November. Here is my
little girl's picture." He kissed it ten
derly, and continued:
"Now, men, if you havedecided to kill
me for what I am innocent of, send these
home, and send as much as you can from
the cattle when I'm dead. Can't you
send half the value? My family will
need it."
"Hold on, now; stop right thar!" said
a rough ranger. "Now, I say, boys," he
continned, "l say, let him go. O-ive us
your hand, old boy; them letters and
that picture did the business, lou can
go free, but you're lucky, mind ye!"
"We 11 do more than that, said a man
with a big heart, and carrying the cus
tomary revolvers and bowie knive in his
belt; "Let s buy the cattle, and let him
go home !M
lhey did, and when the money was
paid over, and the man about to start, he
was too weak to stand. The long strain
of hopes and fears, and the sudden de
liverance from death, had combined to
render him helpless as a child. He sank
to the ground completely overcome.
An hour later, however, he left on
horseback for the nearest staging route,
and as the rangers shook hands and bade
him good-bye, they looked the happiest
band of men in all" Texas.

"Mortimer," she murmured softly,
"Mortimer" his name appeared to be
Mortimer, though I couldn't learn
whether it was his front name or his after

other, forgetting the base things of
earthly life, the coarse greed of the
world and its animal instincts, that would
be our heaven, would it not, dear?"
And Mortimer he said that it would.
"There, heart of my own," he said, and
his voice trembled with earnestness,
"my own darling Ethel, through all the
soft radiance of the day and all the
shimmering tenderness of night, our
lives would paes away in an exalted at
mosphere, above the base-born wants of
earthly mortals, and far beyond the
chattering crowd that lives but for to
day, our lives refined beyond the com
mon ken "
And just then the man with the gong
came out. Mortimer, he made a grab
at the back of Ethel's hand and plunged
for the cabin door. Down the stairs they
rushed, collared a couple ofhairs at the
nearest table, feed a waiter and opened
the action without skirmishing. I am a
man of coarse mold and an earthborn
appetite myself, and I wouldn't live in a
star so long as I could find a good hotel
in America, but long, long before I could
get seats at the table for my family, Mor
timer and Ethel had eaten two blue fish,
a little rare beefsteak, some corn bread, a
plate of hot cakes, two boiled eggs and a
bunch of onions, and the waiter had gone

Sense Like a Horse.
A man armed with an army gun
and a butcher knife went into a
South Arkansas newspaper office and
remarked to a man sittiog at tta
tahie:
"Are you the editor?"
"No, sir; I am the proprietor. Can
I do anything for you?"
"I want to see the editor."
"On very particular business, sir?"
"No, not very. I simply wanted
to kill him for publishing an article
about me last week."
"Is your other business so pressing
that you have to kill him this week?"
"If it is any accommodation I can.
wait a few days."
"I wish you would, for I sold him
a calf some time ago, and he owes
me &b on it. it you kill him now
I'll never get the money."
".But you could take the calf back
and mako what has already been
paid clear of expenses."
"That s a fact," said tho propri
etor musing. "I'll send a boy after
him. No, that would be taking ad
vantage ot bim, and he may not like
it. Call around next week, and I'll
have him here."
The man left, and the newspaper
man remarked to himself:
"So much for disobeying my wife.
She told me not to forget my pistol. -If
I hadn't played proprietor that
fellow would have shot mo with that
old Yankee gun. I wouldn't bo
found dead shot with such a crun.
Next week, just about tho time I'm
busy, tnis fellow will come ar' nd
again with this stalwart field-piece.
it ne d only come with an Arkansas
pistol, I wouldn't mind it, but it
would bo an eternal disgrace to bo
killed with such a gun. After this I
shall obey my wife. That woman's
got horse sense, and looks into the
future like a mule. Exchange.
Effects of Cold Storms on Poultry.
Each season of the vear brings its
special work and care, demanding the at
tention of the keepers of poultry. Ex
cepting the first bleak autumn storms,
no period of the year is so trying to the
constitutions of fowls as cold, spring
rain storms. Birds that have stood the
severity of winter without any apparent
signs of disease, often succumb to the
effects of a chilly rain storm. The germs
of disease, however, are sometimes con
tracted during confinement in winter,
and the sudden change of weather, ex
perienced during a cold rain, will de
velop the malady, which is likely to be
come contagious. Fowls that have been
highly fed and kept warm to induce lay
ing, will, like a forced plant, be toaten
der to stand neglect during the early,
drenching rains that penetrate to their
very skins.
The danger need not be feared, how
ever, by those who will take a little extra
care of their stock during such weather.
As soon as the earth softens under the
first mild breath of spring, fowls are all
awake to the prospect of getting worms
and other insects from the ground. They
will then be off, prowling about before it
is light enough even to see their prey,
but as they evidently know that the
early bird catches the w.ormthey are oa
the ground betimes. Perhaps the next
day there is a severe change in the
weather, with sleet or rain, and you will
see the birds hunting about, in hopes of
finding insects, till they get soaking wet
through their feathers, and, if not well
cared for, this often proves fatal.
Most fanciers have noticed that a cold
storm frequently stops hens from laying
for a week. Now, this delay and risk of
sickness may often be prevented by giv
ing them a liberal mess of soft, warm
food, with a little cayenne pepper in it.
To this should be added a generous
amount of animal food, either scraps or
haslets, to take the place of the supply
of worms, which is stopped when the
fowls cannot get out. With this little
extra care, hens will often keep on lay
ing, retain perfect health, and be profit
able to their keepers. Henry Hale in
Sural New Yorker.
A Quarter-Deck Chat.
"I mnsttell you," said a skipper, as ha
took a fresh cigar, "about Stiles, a ship
mate of mine on one of my early voy
ages. Stiles was a simple-hearted,
transparent young fellow, and, when we
sailed, had been 'pay in' attention' to a
young lady, whom he had reason to think
did not fully reciprocate his ardent feel
ings. At all events, the parting on her
side was not so affectionate as he could,
wish, and he was impressed with the be
lief that she only kept him as a standby,
in default of a better offer.
'I don't believe,' Stiles would say
with a despondent shake of his head, f,
don't believe Ann Jones '11 have me any
how.' "When we had been out a few months,
and had met with fair success, Stiles
tone was modified. The burden of hid
monologue changed to "Well, I don'ua
but what Ann Jones '11 have me after?
all.'
' ' With a thousand barrels under hatches,
he became still more hopeful. 'Chance
is pretty good for Ann Jones,' he would
say. 'Pretty good now.'
"At fifteen hundred barrels, be had
assumed a self-satisfied manner, and thus
soliloquized, 'I guess there's no danger
but what Ann Jones '11 have me now.'
"At two thousand barrels 'Ann Jones
'11 be glad enough to get me now,
know.'
"When we cut the lost whale that was
to fill the Ko3e, and squared away for
home, Stiles threw his hat in tbe air,
with a yell of triumph '111 be bio wed if
I'll have Ann Jones, anyhow!'
"And he didn't."
