He was principal of the Medford schools for several years before he came to Eugene. Valuable Invention We have just been shown a very use ful inventiou recently patented by Mr F L Qiliman of this city which from Its simplicity and utility must elicit the approval of every one who has use for such au article. The device Is an attachu.ent for cinching a saddle, do- loir away with tie old style ladlgo, aud Its efficiency Is so pel feet that the saddle can be thrown upon the horse and cinched in from three to five sec onds, aud when thus secured It Is fm possible for It to become loosened, but should the rider fail to properly cinch before mounting and find the caddie liable to turu with him, the cinch can be easily tightened without dismount ing aud while the horse is at full speed. E C Smith has acquired a one-half In ten st In the United States pattut right aud on a recent visit to San Francisco resented it to several large manufac turers of saddle besides a number of officers In tbe regular cavalry service receiving the very highest approval ef all who saw it. Mr Smith Intends go lag to Washington aud present It to the war department, hoping that it will meet thcirapproval aud adoption. A small factory will soon be started ie Eugene and manufacturing begun. "oooo old times." Vy arsodalra lolls of the food old llmo ' And slap Bow and then lo sigh.

THE COWARDLY 17TII BT CHARLES a LSWls. It did not tnko mon long to loarn com pany and regimental drill aftor being called Into tho Held by tbo outbreak of civil war, and It was only a quostion of weeks whon ovcry soldier knew bow to take enro of hliiiecl In camp. It was grand material for an army farmer, miner, mechanics, clurkt, day laborer men of brawn and men of pride, and such was the rush at first that tbe recruiting ofllccr would re Joe t a man almost on ao- count of an old scar. Wbon tbe rsw ma terial was drilled and disciplined and hardened up, every man wo a lighter. A gravo inlitnko wu mado by tbo company and regimental oflloer In tbe very begin ning, and, though rectified In moil In stances befuro tho year was out, groas In justice had boon done to thousand of brnvo men. There wss but one officer In tbo Fourth Infantry who started In right He was ridiculed and burlcequod for month, but time proved hi (ttKaolty and brought btni bis promotion. Ho was tho captain of Company G, and his vary first mova was to know every man In bis command by linmo. Ills next was to study each man by himself. Company O wa mado up of all torts of men, from tbo sturdy farmer of 40 to tho boy ot SO who bad alway boon coddled aa a pot. Not a man bad ever boon under lire. Not 10 out of tbo 100 hod over hnd their oourugo tested. Takun al together they wv.ro a fine looking body of men, and after six wcekiof camp Ufa thoy showed up bettor than any othurooinpany. Most captains would hove been proud and siitl.'-lled and boastod a littlo. Captain Whlto was simply pleased. Camp Mfo wa but tho plcnio preceding war. Thuro would be long marches, nnd ho wont at It to toughen bis men. Everyday, ruin or iblno, they marched in squads for so many miles. They wcro taught tho easiest step; Ibcfr loads wero gradually Increased; tboir foot were hardened by degrees. Wbon tbo Suvonteonth was brlgodod with us, everybody spoke In pralso of It stalwart rank and file. No bettor material could have been found In America. A oouplo of weeks, bowover, showed tho col onel to be an egotist and a drunkard, and fow of tbo rcglmontul or company officer aooiuod anxious to give him credit. One day the fiovontoonth oamo out to relieve tbo Fourth on tho outpost duty. Not a man of thorn bod ever fired his rouskot, nut a man bad evor scan a Confederate, not a man had beard the ping of a bullet. Companies wero detached to cover along front and to guard a brldgoand a railroad crossing. At midafternoon 100 Confeder ate cavalry, divided Into (quad ot SB, at tacked (our full oompanle ot tho Seven teenth at about tho aamo moment One dtsohargo of carbines, followed by a yoll, did the business In each Instance. The snmo 100 cavalry thon full upon the rosorve of tho Sovcntoonth and routed 600 men at a dash. Ono thousand mon were beaten, routed and disgraced by 100, and all be causo tbo officer bad not coached them. Just a wook later 60 men out of Company O fought 460 Confederates for an hour and prevented thorn from burning a bridge. Thatwos tbo boglunlngof tbo hoodoo of tho Seventeenth. It bad disgraoed itself and disgraoed tbo brigade, and nothing short of a gallant fight would roitera Its prestige. Tbo officers cursed tho men for cowards and skulks, and tho mon lostoon fldonoo In themselves. Two week after Its dlsgroooful rout flvo companies wore sent out at nlgbt to drlvo a score of Con federate sharpshooters out ot sn old mill and tako possession. Tho major In com mand had scarcely boon socn by any of tbe mon before. Ho hardly know one of the captains by Came, Ho swaggered and oommanded, and the 600 marched out Companies would have marchod In opon order, roady to support each othor. The major bad no sonso. Uo marched bis 600 in a solid body, with a tramp to bo beard a mile away. Tbe sharpshooters board the tramp of Infantry, suspected what was coming, and IS of them went Into ambush along tho road and at a proper moment oponod fire. In five minutes tho Ave oom panle 1 were defeated and flying baok to oamp, loavlng a score of dead and wound ed In tbo enemy's bands. Officers and mon mado a foot race of It, and a thoy oamo streaming Into oamp tbo brigadier hunted out the major and shouted at him: "By Ood, sir, but you are aoontemptl bio coward, sir, and this 1 another dis grace on tho brlKadul It you don't put your resignation tn my band within half an hour, I'll borsewbip yououtof oamp I" Tho major oomplled and wo glad to get out, and next day the colonel followed suit New officers wore appointed, and to thorn tbo brlgadlor said: "Oontlouiou, tbe Seventeenth bos got as good fighting blood as tboro Is In this army, but It has disgraced tbo brigade. Go at It and work your mon up. If you liandle them right, thoy will fight; If you let thorn smlruh tho reputation of this brigade, again, I'll hold you personally re sponsible I" Thooilioors at once set about tho "work ing up" business, but how was It donof They Insulted the captains, and the cap tain retaliated on tho rank and file. Ono 'nlgbt after a week or so Captain White marched Company O out of camp anu an hour utter hod possession or the old mm and SB prisoners. Then tho broodier said to tbe new colonel of the (Seventeenth: "Think of that, slrl Oo to Captain White and learn bowtobandloyourmont" But the colonel would havo resigned lint Uo called his officers together snd said the must stive the men double dclH and thl In the next fight th. y mM !;v,t down any man who tried to make a bolt of It. And tho captains got their respective onmpanles out on tho parade ground and looked aavaga and swelled out th. lr cheat and shouted i "You are a laujihlim toek In this bri gade! You have had two or three chance to win glory, but you havo run awny like beaten cur. In our tie it llcht I will shnot tho man who even turns pale." And every private In every company re memtienid that when be ran nwny he fol lowed his three oflloer and wa not able to ovortoko them. A month later, at 0 e'clork ouo aummer looming, tho Kvond brlftsdo swung Into battle Hue on tho left center. It stretched across a cotton field, with Us right and left ronnvotlnn In the wood. Tho fight began far above us. That meant waiting, and It Is tho waiting that make cowards of brnvo men. Down the lino of tbe Fourth, bevrtith and Twelfth went the company officer, and whon they reached a whlto faced private whose luuskvt was trembling; In his grasp and whueo chin was a-qulver they laid n band on bis shoulder and whispered In bis ear: "Come, Tom, but you want to brnco up. That' a h 1 of a racket up there, but It' mostly all nolso. We'll bnvo tho enemy In front of us pretty soon, and we'll go for him heavy. Can't scare us with their bluffing, old man. I'll bet dollars to cent you'll win the stripe of a corporul lu till tight." Thoso few word braced Tom and tho other men up like a drink of brandy, and pretty soon they begun Joking and wero all right Ovor lu tho Seventeenth It was different, however. Tho officers wcro at tho regulation distance In rear of tho lines, and tbo men bad nobody to braco them up. To talk to each other made mutter worse. Wo wero qulto prepared for whnl happened. Of a sudden tho enemy opened fire on our front with art 1 1 lory, nnd a tho first slioll exploded In tho ranks of tho Seventeenth the full thousand men bruko book liko a Uock of frightened shoep. A aeooud shell completed tbo buslnesa, and there wa a sUunjiodo which carried them a mile to tbo roar. A fow of the officer tried to top the rush, but most of them went with tho men. Wa lengthened our line to fill the gap until another regiment wa brought up, and we saw no uioro of the Seventeenth until next day. Then tho oflloer of the regiment wero paraded and tbo major general in id to them: "I know tho history of tbe Seventeenth since It first skirmish. You aro a dis grace to your state, to the army and to yourselves. I ball recommend that tbo roglmont bo wiped out of oxlstenrol" On the morning that tho order of Uls bandmont arrived the officers wero ordered to report at headquarter fur Instructions. Tho Seventeenth wa In cbargoof a senior captain, and some of tho companies bad no higher officer than a second lieutenant All except two vr threo wero at headquar ters, ten lullv nwuy, when a Confederate column which bad cat looso and marched by nlgbt through Held and forest, burst out of the woods upon the camps of the detachments along tho river. Tbo sur prlso was complete, and without a chock tbe enemy swopt along down tbe stream. At tbe first sound of battle tbo men of the Seventeenth turned out of their tents. Theroworo no officers toglvo them orders. They had always run away. They wero a pack of cowards. A few had already start' ed to tuovo off when there camo tho thun der of hoof from the west nnd a woman rodo Into camp. No man of tho Seven teenth bad ever set n her lieforu, and to this day hor Identity ha not been estab lished. She miixt have been tbo wife of soma officer In cump above, but what bis rank or name hn never bran made known. Sho was hardly above 0 years old, fair haired and handsome, and every man thrilled a ho pulled up hor bono and cried out: "Thoy aro making a stand up there by tbo croak, and If you will Join them the enemy can be chocked I W here Is your col ouelf" "We have none." "What regiment Is- this?" "Tho cowardly Seventeenth." "Thon Ood help tbom tip there! I had hopod to find mon horo. Don't you hear thomf Thoy are fighting fur life. Oh, if thoy bad but another reglmontr' "We'll gol We'll gol lull In I Full In I" was shouted and echoed all over camp, and flvo minutes tutor every man had his musket and cartridge box and every com pany waa foraiod. "This way, this way coiuo on I" called tho woman, and as shu turned her borso tho companies full Into column and fol lowed after, swinging their cap and cheering a they marohed. Up the road crowded with white faced fugitives, and yet novor a man of tho Sev enteenth fell out Tho guns boomed and thundered and tbo moskotry volleyed, but novor a man ot tbo Seventeenth lagged. Presently they met wounded men crawl ing behind trues aud lugs, and dead men with oyos looking up at tho hot sun, but the orderly sergeants shouted: "Forward I Forward lT' And the men shut tlielr tooth bard and smiled grimly. Ahead of them, but turning ovory moment to look back and smile and beckon, rodo tho unknown woman. A round shot plowed up tho dirt near by, but she gnvo uo heed. A shell bunt agslnat a tree a fow yards away and filled the air with splinters, but tho did not turn bor head. Tho bullets came tblokor and thicker, but sho held hor way till a line of bluo suddenly camo Into view and then waved bor hand and said: "Right down there, comrades, I whero thoy need you, and after today no man will call tho Seventeenth a ivgfmunt of cowards I" "Hip, hip, hurrah I" And a swinging of caps and a dusb forward, and tbe Hue was strengthened nut a moment too soon. The enomy hurled shell unci grape ha poured In volley after volley bo charged again and again, but tbo lino stood firm and cheered as It stood. It was a fight ot sn hour boforo ro-enforoomcnts came up. Mon looked for the cowardly Seventeenth In Its camp, but only a fow dazed officers were tboro. They looked for tbo cravona down on tho line defending tho creek, but they found bono tboro. Deblnd tho log breastwork were a fow hundred living mon, their eye still aflamo and their face black with powder stulm, nnd on thols right and loft und behind thorn more dead and wounded than the whole brigade bud yet loat Not a coward had died, not coward had lived on.
