is their intrrnchiunts we felt back to

nature.
Late in toe .f;eru"on. probably

my old company bjys wlo had been

rode to on a horse white with foam.
He reputed to Geary that he had just

At the time this information reached
tleary he only had with hra of his

ieaerah Ca.pt. Elliott, whom he in
trocted toroto Gen. Hooker and ap
prise him of the situation.
Before goiaz, however, be wrote an

said to me come on. I felt that I was
getting a little more than my share of
duty that day. but before we returned
I had been an eye-witness to one of
the great historic events of the war;
that of Pleasanton's defense of llazel
Grove, where we gathered to his sup
port twenty-two pieces of artillery and
planted them on that elevated field,
kupported by two regiments of cavalry
only, with nothing1 in front of him but
darkness and the exultant rebels, wild
with success, who charged again and
ag-ain into the mouths of Pleasanton's
g-uns, only to receive their passports to
Kinsrdom Come."' During all this cn

I Geary, with the asiatance of Capt.
Ucst, arranged a line of batteries of
not les than forty guns, which were
soon pouring their deadly missies into
the face of the advancing foe, who
j were now compelled to halt in their
mad career, liy this time Jacksoa had
j received his death wound, and our new
the Third army corps, who had been
cut off for a while, but cut their way
through the rebel lines, and made a
grand stand on a line crossing the
I'lank toad at Fairview; the enemy
made three distinct charges on our bat
teries c'u ring the night, with terrific
loss, without gaining any advantage.
liaring1 the whole night, tic-n. Geary
was hardly out of the saddle, and made
no attempt to rest, neither was I re
lieved from attendance on hiir.; from
one end of the line to the other, the ax
and shovel played a lively part in the
preparations for to-morrow's consump
tion. The worst we could imagine
was but a faint shadow of the reality.
My inclination Ls, not to attempt a
description of what I saw on the 3rd of
Maj, IM'.n. Words never have, nor can
they ever paint in natural living colors,
the scenes which were presented
around the Chancellor House on 'he
forenoon of that day, which terminated
in the burning of the Chancellor House
full of our wounded, and the sweep
ing1 of the surrounding woods by
fiery Karnes, which were strewn with
our dead and dying that could not be
rescued.
Hooker had now abandoned Hazel
Grove and occupied the new line he had
forfeited during the night hy swinging
Williams' division of the Twelfth coir 3
around at right angles withGeaiy, an 1
joining the two divisions of Whipple
anil I'erry of the Third corps, whose
line extended across and beyond the
Flank Koad.
The abandonment of Hazel Hill,
which was on the line of our original
position, g-ave the enemy just what he
wanted. With more than thirty pieces
of artillery planted theie by Je'o. Stew
art, (Jackson's successor), he raked
Gcirr's lines in such a terrffic manner,
that it was next to impossible for the
men to stand their ground. Gen.
Doubleday in describing1 this particular
event says: "Stewart did not delay in
crowning Hazel Hill with more tu.an
thirty pieces of artillery, with which
he began to pliy with fatal effect on
Chancellorsville, and on the crest occu
pied by Slocuin. which he eufahuled,
and as McLaw's batteriea eufaladoJ
MlM.um r.t the same time from the p
posite direction, it seems miraculous
that it was able to hold it at all."
Gen. Slocum had directed that divi

except myself, and I am quite certain
that Lieut. Davis and I were the only
mounted men on that line where a cror.
would have been stripped of his feath
ers if he stood above the breast ivor'..
The battle raged on, our right ing
was broken and hurled back; Gtn
i Berry was killed and Whipple wounded
and their divisions completely roiit' d
after as stubborn a fight as ever mm ;
man made. Williams' division was th
next to go, leaving Geary's division
standing alone without support, except
from a few of our batteries, ud yet he
maintained h:s position for fully an
hour, with the enemr on his front and
Hank, and all of the Hazel Hill gunsen
falading him. Finally our battery,
which occupied a position to the right
and rear of the Chancellor House, and
which li3d lost nearly every man,
killed or wounded, was now silenced,
and the enemy were permitted to move
forward and overlap Geary's right
llank. vtith sne of their batteries
already planted at Fairview, this made
it :rnpvible for us to hold out longer,
and the old White Mar division was
taken off th field; but it was a sorry
sight to see those thin ranks torn to
pieces by shell and grape, as they
moved across that field, in front of the
enemies death dealing batteries.
We hai hardly gotten past the range
of the enemy's guns when Gen. Hooker
rx!e up to Geary, and in a very ex-c:u-d
manner he said: "Gen. Geary, I
wun' y u to put ycur division back in
its t.t Tv-sition."'
j "It ts imtxssible, my works are
j alrtvidy in possession of the enemy,"
I replied Gen. Geary.
"Vo-j have my orders." said Hooker,
i "3id I epe-t obedience. I will send
I you ijrt.' Hooker's orders were
1 o!o .!, ;,nd strange to say, with much
I h - ulri -t.ity thin would be imagined,

poor dead and dying soldiers, who lay
in that awful crematory of the war.
We hud taken possession of our new
line of defense, that was soon made
strong- by throwing- up of breastworks
and redouts. A cold rain had now set
in. aduing1 gloon to the extremely dis
couraging outlook. It was now well
understood that we were to get back
to th-i north side of the Rappahannock
if we could, and our trains were mov
ing l'rely in that direction. Av soon
as Gi n. Geary got his instructions as
to tt e retreat, he, by the advice of the
surgeon, crossed over the river. About
10 o'clock that night I wa3 sent to Gen.
Kano with his instructions to cover the
retreat, and I was to pilot him on the
road he was to take at 4 o'clock in the
morning. I found Kane nestled down
und-,;r a little dog- tent, doing his best
to keep dry. "Now tell me all about
it." be said, "and I would like 3-ou to
draw a map of the road, so that I will
have no difficulty when I come to
move." His request I complied with to
thri c vfent of my ability, and then
withdrew with zvy horse a rod or two
away to a tree ?(u;np; tyincr the halter
strap to my wr.:M, and spreading my
poncho over my head, I settled down
for a little sleep, which poor tired
nature so much demanded, little dream
ing that nothing short of Gabriel's
trumpet would awaken me in the
morning. Suddenly, as if some guard
ian ::nge ha.d laid a warning hand
upon me, I threw my hands aloft,
elevating my waterproof so abruptly
as to frighten my horso, who sprang
back'vards, pulling me over, with my
face on the ground. I was now thor
oughly awake, and as boon as I could
extricate myself I began to look
around. I was lone; there was our
breastworks in front of me, a few
debri:i of the bivouac the men had left
behind, but nothing else could I see
bvit the grey morning. I mounted my
horse without farther ceremony, and
peering across the felled timber in
front of our works. I saw the first of a
line of rebel skirmishers emerging
from the woods beyond.
It was impossible, I thought, for me
to hold that line of works alone, and
so I withdrew in good order, but in
rapid time. When I came in sight of
United States ford, I could see a con
siderable force ou the opposite side of
the river, but not a man on my side.
The engineer corps was working very
lively taking up the bridges, and when
I reached the bank one bridare was en
tirely up, and the plunk of the first
section had already been removed on

will lay a plank for you to cross on,
but you will have to leave your
horse behind." That I did not
like to do, as old Jimmie had been a
dear, devoted comrade to me; instead
of one plank thev laid two of about
four or five inches each in width, so
when I started over I invited my horse
to follow, and what was my surprise to
see him, without the least hesitation,
but with much caution, tread the nar

in aifety.

MUSIC'S CHARMS.
Tom Goskin, proprietor of the prin
cipal saloon in Eed Dog, was not
happy; he had bought a piano, but no
one in the camp could be found to play
it $ But a few days before Christmas a
ghostly-looking old tramp appeared at
the door of the saloon and Tom pave
him something to eat. The stranger
was attracted by the sight of the
piano. He said he thought he could
play it some, and awe fell over the
audience as he sat down.
The piano was frightfully out of
tune, of course; but the audience was
not disposed to be critical. Chords
succeeded melodies, melodies chords;
runs and trills and rapid passages
chased each other over the keys, up
hill, down hill.
"Look how he chases the right hand
with the left," whispered an
old graybeard, nudging his neighbor,
excitedly.
"And what fine sounds he digs out of
the upper end," said another.
"And down there it's growlin' like a
grizzly," remarked a third.
"Hi, Goskin, the old grave-digger's
kickin' the pianner to pieces with his
feet; don't you stand it."
The stranger was using the pedal.
The minutes ran swiftly on; the rude
lights burned dim; the aged musician
lost himself more and more in his play
ing. From those thm, old fingers
knotted and gnarled with labor; fell
the sweet, familiar strains of many a
simple ballad instinct with the recol-
le.ctJons of home. Songs of childhood
crooned over the dying embers f a
nursery fire; love ditties sung by ab. ;nt
sweethearts; familiar medleys which
were mighty to evoke the memories of
the past. They saw once more
the scenes of childhood; the
green fields of New England,
the acorn forests of Wisconsin, the
happy valley of the Ohio. They saw
the heathery hills of Scotland, the
chalk cliffs of old England. They heard
the roar of those pitiless waves which
had borne so many of them away from
the loved land of their birth to the
desolate region of gold. Then followed
hymns, and psalms and chants, such as
the men had Ween wont to sing in the
days of their childhood, when their
hearts were yet pure and soft, un
scathed by sorrow, untouched by sin,
unspotted by the world; until an at
mosphere of brooding peace seemed to
descend on the turbulent spirits of
those rude miners. The silence became
stiller and more breathless, broken
only by an occasional sign or uneasy
movement on the part of the audience,
But the merciless player had still
another arrow in his quiver, and that
arrow was "Home, Sweet Home." As
he struck the opening measure of the
sweet old melody, the tears unwonted
moisture sprang to the eyes of those
rough, weather-beaten men. As the
refrain of that matchless song of songs
stole on the air, plaintive, pathetic,
breathing of infinite sorrow and un
utterable longing, a wave of uncon
trollable feeling swept over the entire
audience, and finallythe whole assem
bly fell to sobbing like great, over
grown cniiaren xom uoskm among
the loudest.

rose softly from their seats and slunk.
one by one, out of the room.
The festivities were at an end, for
every one felt an unwonted desire to
weep his heart out, and to write to the
old folks at home a duty which has
been but too long neglected. No sooner
had the last man taken his departure
than the virtuoso laid his weary head
on the piano and fell asleep.
"Say, stranger," spoke out Tom Gos
kin, "don't yer want to turn in?"
"lam tired," said the old man.
"Perhaps yar'd be willing to keep me
here a day or two?"
He staggered behind the counter,
rolled himself in a couple of blankets
which Goskin had given him, and lay
down.
"I feel very bad. I think I shall not
live very much Longer. The last few
days have done for my poor, old bones.
I have a brother in the canyon; his
name is Driscoll. He doesn't know I'm
here. Could you bring him to me be
fore the day breaks? I would like tc
see his dear face before I die."
Goskin sprang up as he heard ti e
name Driscoll. He knew him.
"Driscoll your brother? 11. have
him here before an hour."
The musician pressed his hand grate
fully and besought him to hasten. Gos
kin sprang like . a panther along the
precipitous path leading to the valley.
It was very late when the two
men returned. Driscoll was as pale as
death.
"ily God!" he said. "I hope he will
know me. Twenty years ago I did
him a foul wrong. Ohl if I had but his
forgiveness."
As they entered they noticed that
the old man had drawn the covering
over his head. The two men stood
still one moment, paralyzed at the
thought that he might be dead. Then
Tom Goskin stepped nearer and lifted
the covering, which he dropped at once
in sudden amazement.
There was no one there-
"ne is gone'." cried Driscoll, despair
ingly. "Yes gone!" howled Goskin, sud
denly struck by a horrible suspicion
and tearing open the tilL "Yes. gone,
with a thousand dollars of gold dust in
a sack, besides all the uncounted money
in the till!"
TABLEAU.
That same day the entire community
turned out for a chase, Goskin storming
like a bear with a sore head. But all
they discovered were the traces of a
horse's hoofs on the road lead
rag to l'ioehe, and these wcrs
almost obliterated by the sncw.
One man was missed from the camp.
It was the same inveterate old gambler
who had denied all acquaintance with
the science of "pian .-hammering."
Later on. a wig of l-ng. vc.ierible
white hair was discovered, and awak
ened recollections of the hoary locks
of the virtuoso.
Torn Goskin. according to the same
reports, has found no successor for the
piano-player, and he is further said to
have registered a solemn oath never to
look for one as lonsr as he lives.

OUR MOTTO:
WRITK rK l-KICKS"
"CHEAP."
Men, Women and Children. Font, Shel
ter and Clot Iws, AliU-.
If there is one word in the English
language that should bj eliminated b,
absolute disuse, it is the wor t cheap. "
Just now the whole world is search
ing for something cheap." Cheap
men. cheap women and cheap chil
dren aro sought for on the one hand,
and cheap food, cheap clothing and
cheap shelter on the olher. No mat
ter how much sorrow. sutTering or
misery it may cost, if it is only cheap
to the purchaser. Such a proposition
is ail wrong, says the National Watch
man, and means poverty and wint to
the laborer. Just and equitable con
ditions among the peopie demand that
nothing produced by labor should be
cheap. Cheap products mean heap
days works, and cheap days works
mean hunger, nakedness and distre-s.
That nothing is cheap to one producer
that is made cheap at tho expense of
another producer is an economic prop
osition which can not Le refuted.
What is most needel at present to
make the people prosperous and happy
is a cheap dollar and a dear day's
work. They have been contending
with a dear dollar and a cheap day's
work until debt and financial destruc
tion is seen on every hand. Now they
ask for a ci.aiifie, and from the out
look aro going lo have it
Perhaps some will say they can buy
more with a dollar now than ever
before; tnis is no doubt true, and
herein lies the didiculty. There are
hundreds of thousands of good citi
zens eager for an opportunity to earn
the dollar, but can find no employ
ment Besides what will th collar
purchase more of? Absolutely uoth
ing but the fruits 0 some otiier man's
labor.
Others will say that a days work
will buy as much of the necessaries of
life now as ever before; rant that
this may be true, yet thy ro .-ire :hou
sands who can not find the day- hibor
to perform: and if found, it w.ll only
buy the products of som j oth r days
labor as cheaply. This idea of cheap
ness, as now uuderstood. means the
product of one sot of laborers com
peting against the product o," ;i :10th
er set of laborers, while uionev is
feasting and enriching itsei. ou their
disaster s.
'i he true test for this great r.e-tion
ia how many dollars will a days wo.-k
purchase, or how much interest or
principal will its products buy? if
it will purchase less dollars to-day
than one year ago. or if its products
will pay loss interest or deb: pr.nei
pal. then labor has decreased in value
or money has increased. This teal
never fails. Try it.

The People's Party papers are not
alone in accusing the great dailies with
being the biggest liars let lose. Here is
what the veteran journalist Noah
Brooks, said about them a few j-ears
ago (July Forum, 188) and it is just
as true of them to-day as it was then:
The most obvious faults of the
daily newspaper of the present day
are its inaccuracy and its partisan
unfairness. From theso failings tho
magazine is at least tolerably exempt.
The daily newspaper has become so
untrustworthy with its looseness of
statement, its disregard of truth, and
its often willful perversion of facts
that fair-minded men sometimes say
that they find more satisfaction in
reading the journals of the party to
which they are opposed than in those
of their own political faith. No man
can be certain that he has found the
truth anywhere in the newspapers un
til it has been affirmed by a majority
of them all. It the monthly maga
zine ever becomes a daily newspaper,
let us hope that its first and last pur
posein life will be to tell the whole
truth accurately. In the feverish race
to distance all contemporaries.' the
daily metropolitan journals too often
throw decency and discretion
to the winds. Things have finally
come to such a pass that none of these
will believe the others. They are all
busy in the discrediting of each
other's newa denying the accuracy of
each other's reports, and undervaluing
the enterprise cf every one but one
their own jou:n;iL In such a state of
things, what car. oe expected, of the
general public., looking on at the jeal
ous contention froai the outside? Is
