THE FIGHT WITH STONES.
A FEDERAL SOLDIER'S STORY OF THE
SECOND BATTLE OF MANASSAS.
Tlie Unsuccessful Charge on tho Con
federate Forces at the Railroad Em
baultuient The Infernal Regions
Broken Loose An Interview.
Suddenly the cannonading over, our
heads from the Union guns ceased, and we
were ordered to move onat double quick
Bounding over the fence into the clear
ground we were halted again for the line
to get straightened, and for the first time
I discovered the object of our attack, and
laughed outright at what scorned a
comical sight. At a distance of thirty or
forty rods from me was a ?ailroad grade.
-porhevpa sv keen feet hlgtl on our Bide, at
the highest point, and at the top of that
grade was an incessant kaleidoscopic pop
ping up of slouch hats and muskets, the
latter of which were all successively with
drawn as fast as discharged.
It did not seem possible that any of us
could bo hit by such firing as that, and
altogether looked ridiculous. first per
ception 01 its Demg otherwise was in loos
ing alone the line and seeing a bin blouse
fall forward or backward to the ground,
or reel and stagger from the rank. By that
time we were once more in motion, and I
experienced what is probably the purely
animal sensation of bloodthirstiness.
Loading and firing as we ran toward the
embankment, ' I successively shouted,
screamed, laughed, swore, stamped and
whooped, although commonly one of the
most quiet and undemonstrative of
youths. To see one of my comrades fall
made me as angry at him as at the
enemy, for he seemed to be deserting us at
the very point where his assistance was
needed. Before we reached tho railroad
grade, we had to face grape and canister
as well as musketry; but three of us ar
rived there together. Farther back the
field was strewn with wounded men and
corpses, and along tho "railroad cut," at
our left, the men of Porter's corps were
contending desperately with their almost
invisible, though deadly, foe,.'
TOE INFERXAL KEGIOSS BROKEN LOOSE.
My backward glance which revealed
these things was taken in the hope of dis
covering the approach of our following
lines, but they were still in the woods be
hind. The sight of the demolished regi
ments in their front caused the second
line to hesitate, and in tho meantime the
few of us who had reached the grade
crawled to near the top of it and loaded as
we lay close to its side, lifting our pieces
above our heads and firing over the em
bankment as well as we could without
special aim. Then came the charge of onr
second line toward us, and it seemed as
though the infernal regions had broken
loose. The noise was so tremendous that
we could not hear our own voices. Of
course our troops were repulsed to the
woods again, where they stopped and com
menced firing at the enemy, who were
only separated from ourselves by a few
feet of broken rock and earth. Still, my
companions and myself stayed on the em
bankment, partly because it was most
dangerous, to recross the field, and partly
in the hope thAt asnthr line would soon
get up to u Our ammunition failed, and
we lay with our backs against the em
bankment, as near the top as we dared
venture, throwing large stones over our
heads backward as forcibly as we could
among tho enemy.
I can not now tell which side began this
method of fighting, but I remember dis
tinctly that we very soon got the worst of
it. Tho big Jagged pieces of blasted rock
kept falling about us, and some of them
took effect, to our sorrow. I was myself
hit three times, as 1 find by a letter written
to my parents a few days afterward. But
our side of the fight there was conducted
under most terrible disadvantages. Bul
lets from our own troops in the woods were
striking around us, and both my Immedi
ate companions were soon fatally wounded
from that direction. My own haversack
and canteen were destroyed by a fragment
of shell and a bullet respectively, and look
ing along the sidexif the embankment, in
both directions, I could see no active par
ticipant in the fight The men of the First
Louisiana wero invisible to us, and they
had no means of knowing that the force

seriously wounded, with perhaps a dozen
others so sorely struck that none of them
could have aimed a musket or thrown a
missile to accomplish any object.
PERSONAL INTERVIEW WITH THE FOE.
The groans and complaints of my
wounded friends at the fall of stones npon
them finally decided my action, and I con
cluded to stop that dangsr and annoyance
to them by a personal interview with tho
gentlemen on the other side of the work.
My appearance at tho time could not have
been prepossessing. Grimed with dirt and
powder, and wearing neither hat nor shirt
I had given the latter garment to a
wounded comrade from whom I had cut
his own in order to examine his hurt -my
oiouse was insumcient to nide the desha
bille entirely. By way of introduction,
however, I lifted the butt of my musket
into the air, pitched it forward on to the
top of the grade, and presently, drawing
an anxiously long breath, followed my
piece. I looked down from the top npon
me Dayoncts ana into tne muzzles of the
muskets of Company E, Montgomery
guards, of the First Louisiana. The noise
of the battle was still so great that they
could not hear my request to be allowed
to jump down among them, but after an
apparently interminable Instant or two,
they understood my signs, made an open
ing In the line of bayonet points, and re
ceived me with honor and welcome.
The occasion not being adapted for ex
tensive exchanges of the civilties of social
life, I was ordered to step down into the
ditch, out of the way. Hero were a few
Confederate soldiers, wounded about the
head and arms, for whose comfort I did
what I could while the battle progressed.
Stonewall Jackson rode along the line
close to us, and the cheering "Montgom
ery Guards" lifted me into their ranks for
a view of "the greatest general of the
world," as they called him. But with
Jackson came the order to move forward,
and I, as a prisoner, was sent with a
guard to a rendezvous on Cross' farm, a
mile or two more to the rear.
On returning to my regiment a few
months subsequently, after being ex
changed, I found myself advanced from a
junior corporal to orderly sergeant, with a
second lieutenant's commission in the
course of preparation for me. The captain
bad been killed, the first lieutenant dis
abled and all the sergeants and corporals
In the batUe, down to myself, killed or
Sijured for life. On the day after the bat
e my company mustered one officer and
four men for duty out of .nearly fifty pres
ent two days previously. T. W. Ilaight

HOW DRUMS ARE MANUFACTURED.
The Ohl-Fahhloned, Wooden - Barreled
Sort The Modern Kind Made of Tin.
Tho old-fashioned drum with wooden
barrel, which was formerly the only kin
In the market, is being rapidly supplanted
by the neater and lighter model with a tin
barrel. For the manufacture of the latter,
tin of various colors is employed, blue and
red predominating, though tho larger
quantity of tin drums are made of a brass
imitation. This tin comes in sheets of two
sizes, 14x30 Inches, and 20x28, the sheets
being packed in enses holding 112. Tho
sheets are first sent to a knife, which cuts
them into various lengths, from which
drums of sizes varying from 6)4 inches
across the head to thirteen inches are
made. This done the strips are each
punched with a hole, thoii, secured and
tightened together. Hoops are placed on
the inside -rims, and the barrel is then
ready to receive the sounding skin. This
Is generally a sheepskin, which is
stretched tightly across the head above
and below, and fastened from the outside
by hoops. These skins are all imported
from Liverpool, and cost from 11.75 to
$3.50 a dozen. Previous to using, they are
stretched and dried by steam in the winter
and by the sun in summer. Before being
stretched over the drum barrels, they are ,
once more moistened, generally in a solu
tion of pure water or slightly ammoniacaL
Then remains the tightening of the drum
hoops. This is done either by strings or
rods. Tho first are stretched diagonally,
leather tighteners being inserted to stiffen
the sound skin. The rods are hooked on
one end and screwed at the other. Of this
latter kind, the consumption is over six
times that of tho older fashion. L
Wooden drums differ but slightly from
the above. The barrels are generally
white or bass wood, occasionally oak.
The stay hoop3 are of oak or beech. Be
fore the strip of wood "can be used, It
needs to undergo many processes, among
others being bending, planing, and sweat
ing. The first drums made used to be
boiled in open tanks, and the limit that
could thus be prepared daily was less than
fifty. The introduction of machinery and
more perfect methods has Increased 'the
daily production, so that 3,000 drum pieces
is -considered nothing more than one
man's fair day's work.
The log, usually cut to three feet in
length, is placed between the teeth of a
huge machine, and the slicing begins.
The knife receives it, and, as the log re
volves, the piece sliced is received on a
wooden cylinder and then rolled up.
Seventy-five thicknesses make one inch of
the log. If then the log is three feet
through, onerevolution will yield a piece
nine feet long, and the total length
sliced from the log would extend over a
mile. Cutting machines further reduce
this huge sheet to the desired lengths. a
core of six inches thickness is left, which
Is taken out of the Jaws and split into
drumsticks or tenpins. The yeneere are'
heated, then bent, and are soon ready to
be shaped as a drum. There are also
planing and sandpapering machines, all
run by water-power. Tha strips are put
through the bender, from three to six at a
time. The sticks are smoothed by rolling
in revolving barrels, the process being
continued for three or four hours, Spring- -field

Construction of Iron Ocean Steamers.
Tho first vessel was launched in 1817,
and is still in existence. But not till 1833
did the work seriously begin. At. that "
time the Lloyds began to build Email iron .
steamers for short voyages. A certain
amount of prejudice had to be overcome,
for there were many doubts as to its
strength and buoyancy. But it made its
way, and the first successful iron steamer
made a transatlantic voyage in 1843, the
Great Britain, launched by the Great
Western company. In those days the
Great Britain was rated as an unusually
large sized ship. It was a ship of 3,000
tons burden, and was an iron screw
teamer combining the new methods of
propulsion and construction. The voyage
was successful, and the ship is still in ex
istence, and, till within a few years ran to
Australia.
Her success led to Imitation in the
English marine, and in 1850 the Inman "
line was established between Liverpool
and New York of iron screw steamers. It
had no profitable mail contract, and was
purely a commercial undertaking, but
under skillful management has been' very 1
successful. In the United States iron ship- '
building has never taken root the way it
has in England. Americans began early
to build small iron steamers, aud do now,
but only for coasting lines. We only use
iron in cases where we are entirely cut off
from competition, or where we are driven -to
it, as it is impossible to use wood for
much of the coasting service. Detroit

Quinine's lilval In the Genua Citrus.
The Italian doctors aro "booming" lem
ons, Khatta oranges, limes, and other
varieties of the genus citrus as rivals of
quinine. Dr. E. Bonaviat says that a de
coction of lemon and Khatta orange will
cure intermittent fever as certainly as
quinine, and that it acta with rapidity
even in the tertian and quartan forms. In
cases of weakness and loss of appetite
after fever the effect Is even more quickly
developed. It shows itself after the sec
ond dose, improving the appetite and di
gestion and diffusing vigor through the
nervous and muscular systems. He tried
three kinds of sour citrus in such cases,
and they appear equally good. Similarly
beneficial results were obtained in en
largement of the spleen, and it would ap-
pear that we have in the genus citrus a
a remedial agent for Intermittent fevers
and their consequences of much potentcy.
It would be interesting to find out
whether this medicinal agent exists ready- '
made in the fruit or is brought out by the
action of the boiling citric acid on the
essential oil and bitter principle of the
rind; whether it exists only In some citrus
or in all the fruit of the genus; whether it
also exists in the leaves, bark, and wood
of the trees. Chicago News.
The Code In the lime-Kiln Club.
Professor Burwell Cavendish, a late
local member made hit debut by inquiring
if the club officially upheld the code. If
he was insulted, and he challenged the in
sulter, would the club stand by him
"What would you challenge him todo?"
asked the president.
"To meet me on the field of honah. Bah"
"What fur?"
"To fight sah."
"Oh, I see. Well, Brudder Cavendish,
my advice to you am to keep off the field
of honah. You'll git yer feet all wet, ta'r
yer coaUaila on the bushes, and probably .
be run off by the farmer's brindled dog.
