After the Battle
It was strange and queer to watch
the demeanor of men wounded In bat
tle writes M Quad You might have
stood beside hundreds who were struck
down and yet you would not have
found two whose actions were exactly
alike When hit while standing inac
tive most men threw up their hands and
cried out and staggered about before
falling If hit while the regiment was
advancing they fell with curses on their
lips and sometimes rose up again and
limped painfully after their comrades
If reached by a bullet while the com
mand was being driven or retreating or
changing its position then men walled
out like children not so much over the
hurt as because they realized that they
were to be left on the field to suffer and
would be helpless to protect themselves
When a regiment was in line waiting
to move to the right or the left or be
d dvanced the thud of a bullet as it
Struck a man could be heard by the
men on his right and left If struck In
the chest or shoulder or head he fell out
of the ranks threw up his hands with
a shout and then fell like a log If
struck below the breast he nearly al
ways lurched forward and placed his
hands on the wound and sank down
IUILED IN THE CHABGE
with a groan The demeanor of no two
wounded men was alike in minor par
ticulars but strangely alike in the first
movements A soldier shot through the
head or heart shot dead in his tracks
as you might term it was not instantly
killed There was no such thing as
instant death unless struck with a solid
shot or blown to pieces by an exploding
shell No matter whether the bullet
pierced heart or brain the victim lived
on for a few seconds long enough to
throw up his hands and call out and
clutch at the comrades beside him for
jpsupport
Few men nreserved silence after be
ing hard hit After the first exclama
tion they cursed or wept and were not
conscious of what they did Each felt
that he had been grievously wronged by
being shot down Sometimes they
cursed first and wept afterwards
sometimes wept and sobbed like chil
dren from the first moment of feeling
pain The cursing and the weeping
were the direct result of the nervous
system being keyed too high by the
excitement of the battle If a wounded
man was carried to the rear -he soon got
the better of his hysterics and it was
the same if left to himself for three
or four hours on the field provided the
fighting had ceased in his vicinity It
was the wounded who lay on the field
where the fighting continued who were
the most to be pitied They feared to
be wounded again or killed outright
HE HAD CRAWLED AVTAT TO DIE
and their shouts and screams could be
heard whenever the roar of battle died
away a little Their fears were by no
means groundless Bullet and ball and
shell and grapeshot were continually
falling among them and during the
war thousands of soldiers were killed
while lying wounded between the lines
The burial parties used to find bodies
which had been hit from three to ten
times and after Grants first battle in
the Wilderness we found a Confederate
with twenty three bullet wounds in his
dead body
And there was more than the fear of
missiles before the eyes of the wounded
men If infantry charged over them
they might not suffer but if a battery
changed positions or there was a charge
of cavalry they might be ground into
the earth When in his normal condi
tion a cavalry horse will not step on
the body of a man lying in his path but
when excited to madness by the roar of
battle the steeds of war will trample
down anything The wounded men ly
ing about must take their charges when
the bugles blew a charge Some would
escape the ironshod hoofs others
would be almost beaten into the earth
It was the same way if a battery was
retired or advanced The change of
position was made with horses on the
dead run and their riders could take
no thought of the dead and wounded
lying in the way The fate of a brigade
or division or even a wing of the army
might be at stake and the sacrifice of
a score of men already wounded did not
count When the guns were advanced
at Chancellorsville to check JacksocC
twilight attack the earth was fairly
cumbered with the dead and wounded
On the few acres of cleared ground over
which the guns had to advance were
camp fires knapsacks haversacks
stacked muskets and several hundred
men who had fallen under the volleys
poured in from the edge of the forest
The guns dashed right into and over
this jumble and above the roar of mus
ketry from the oncoming Confederates
we caught the screams and shrieks of
our wounded men as they realized that
death was to come under the heavy
wheels
The burial parties were always push
ed for time and yet there was time to
look into the faces and observe the atti
tudes of the dead and notice that death
seldom came to two alike Some suf
fered agonies from their wounds oth
ers died as peacefully as if no twinge
of pain had been felt Some had their
lips parted as if praying to God or ut
tering farewells to the loved ones at
home others had lips compressed and
their faces showed grim determination
or anger Sometimes a wounded map
had crawled away into the bushes or be
hind stump or log to die On his bronz
ed cheeks partly bleached by the touch
of death we would find traces of tears
and the hard lines would be softened
down When struck down as they mov
ed and dying within a few minutes
they carried fierce stern faces and
clenched hands and nearly always
their eyes were wide open and their lips
parted to show their teeth If the mus
ket had not fallen from their hands
under the shock of the missile it was
clenched so tightly that their stiffened
fingers had to be opened one by one
There was no pity for the wounded
while the fight was on Now and then
it was possible to alleviate thirst or in
case of an officer to carry him to the
rear but the unwouned had little
thought of the fallen It was only when
night came down and the roar of battle
died out to a growling and sputtering
here and there that a new sound rose
on the evening air to pale the faces of
the veterans lying about with open
haversacks It was a sound heard only
on a battlefield after a battle It was
a sound which began like the far off
murmur of a mighty crowd which
came nearer and nearer which swelled
in volume till it drowned all other
sounds which separated itself from
the shouts of men neighing of horses
peals of bugles and rattle of drums
one great overpowering wail from the
thousands of wounded men which went
right to the heart and caused every
man to lift his head and whisper Poor
fellows God pity them
Bravely Done
That is one of the bravest men I
ever knew said Gen Rosecrans to
James R Gilmore Edmund Kirke as
Inspector General Ducat left the room
where the two gentlemen were con
versing I saw him once continued
the General coolly face almost certain
death to perform a duty Three men
had fallen before Ms eyes and he had
to run the gauntlet of a thousand mus
kets but he did it Mr Gilmore re
lates the circumstances in the Louis
ville Courier Journal
It was at the battle of luka where
Rosecrans with only 2S00 men actually
engaged was fighting a Confederate
force of 11000 holding a chosen and
very strong position Ducat in riding
up to the General had observed a regi
ment of Gen Stanleys division about
to be enveloped and overpowered by a
much larger force
Ride on and warn Stanley at once
said Rosecrans An acre of fire swept
with bullets lay between them and the
menaced regiment Docat glanced at
it and said
General I have a wife and children
You knew that when you came
here said Rosecrans coolly
Ill go sir said Ducat moving his
horse forward after his momentary hes
itation
Stay a moment We must make
sure of this said Rosecrans He
thought a thousand lives of more value
than four so hastily writing some dis
patches on the pommel of his saddle
he gave one to each of three orderlies
and sent them off at intervals of about
sixty yards over the bullet swept field
Then he looked at Ducat who had
seen every one of them fall lifeless or
desperately wounded Without a word
Ducat plunged into the fire and won
derful to tell he ran the gauntlet in
safety and with his clothes torn by
minie balls and Ms horse reeling from
a mortal wound he got to Stanley and
saved the regiment The orderlies
found their graves on that acre of fire
Forrests Warfare
Twenty seven horses were shot under
Lieutenant General N B Forrest who
earned the sobriquet of The Wizard of
the Saddle during the war and Lieu
tenant General Richard Taylor said of
him I doubt if any commander since
the days of Lion hearted Richard has
killed so many of the enemy For
rests aphorisms are such as one would
expect from such a man War means
fighting and fighting means killing
he once said On another occasion he
declared The way to whip em is to
get there first with the most men
Once when discussing with a graduate
of West Point the question of how to
fight cavalry to greatest advantage he
remarked I would give more for fif
teen minutes of bugle than for three
days of tactics

THEIR MANAGEMENT
The Pupil Should Be Trained Upon
the Line of Thought Getting in
the First Header Normal School At
tendance in Pennsylvania
The First Header Class
We talk very much about our chart
class we discuss glibly the word
method the phonic method the
synthetic method and in due time our
chart class becomes a first reader class
It makes but little difference through
which pathway they have been led if
the teacher has been earnest conscien
tious and thorough in her work Now
the pupils not only know many words
by sight but have gained the power
more or less as the case may be of
acquiring new words wherever they
lind them When our pupils reach
this desirable goal we very often treat
them like the heroine of a novel who
is happy ever after and that is the
end of the story we forget that this is
just the time when the greatest care
should be observed to avoid acquiring
bad habits This is best done not by
example nor yet by precept though
each plays its part but rather by a
certain development of the thought
which leads to its natural expression
To be sure in our crowded school
rooms we cannot take much time for
developing a first reader lesson but a
little time thus spent gives large re
turns
If we can only make sure that no
pupil begins reading a sentence until
he has mastered the thought which it
contains we can have but little trouble
to gain natural expression The very
best way to do this in a limited time
is to call each sentence a story or a
question then require the pupil first to
scan it silently and looking off from
the text right into the teachers face
tell the story or ask the question A
very little practice will enable the pu
pil to do this readily In all this teach
accuracy If a single word is mispro
nounced have it scanned again and
the story told a second or even a
third time This plan cannot be adopt
ed without the pupil gaining the entire
thought conveyed New words are
more readily learned when thus em
bodied in a thought
It is a great help in language If a
pupil is inclined to say Mary and the
baby Ms in the house he will very
likely tell the story in that way only
to be required to look again and see
that are is used instead of is Just
a moment taken to find out why are
is used instead of is and the best
of language lessons is learned by the
whole class
In the second reader of course the
sentences are longer and not quite
the same plan can be followed but if
one always requires the pupil to look
off the book before the end of each
sentence it will develop the habit of
looking ahead and gaining the thought
before expressing it
If the pupil has been trained upon
this line of thought getting in the
first reader he will always hold to
the habit unless indeed he is pushed
beyond his capacity into reading where
both words and thoughts are beyond
his comprehension This is one of the
most serious catastrophes that can
happen to any pupil If the thought is
beyond him or the words so difficult
that he cannot grasp the thought he
has no chance whatever of learning to
read except parrot fashion and not
only this but you place literature and
language development quite outside of
his horizon for the two are or should
be closely allied to the every day read
ing lesson Western School Journal
Teaching Orthography
Each word has a physiognomy Some
Jvbrds have plain faces some have fea
tures peculiar to themselves but all
are learned not by describing them
orally but by using our sense of sight
Words of as many letters as they have
sounds may be learned by seeing and
pronouncing them If the -teacher dic
tates such words as paper lamp pen
cil etc and
carefully pronounces ev
ery sound they will be written correct
ly But the number of such words is
comparatively small in English Words
in which the number of letters is great
er than that of sounds as book street
slate ring etc will have to be ob
served more closely and of tener by the
young learner Such words as
separate eulogy forfeiture gay
ety etiquette I take a few out of
the multitude haphazard are often
misspelled If marked on the board as
indicated and left there a few days it
may be safely said that their peculiari
ties will be remembered or recalled
The secret of vivid knowing is vivid
seeing If every spelling lesson is con
ducted according to the principle that
we learn orthography more through
sight than through the sense of hearing
I am sure we shall find little difficulty
in obtaining good results In higher
grades words may be grouped accord
ing to rules but no rule should be
given it should invariably be discover
ed by the pupil If the teacher put
the following words on the board in a
column pavement amusement chas
tisement achievement infringment
etc and opposite to these in another
column such as judgment abridgment
and others it will not be long before
the pupils have discovered why the
final e of judge for instance in the
second column is dropped This is
mixing in a little brains in the other
wise dry study At every stage of the
course however this paradox remains
true The more crayon a teacher con
sumes the better her instruction

AN OVERSIGHT
The Trouble It Caused in the English
Mail Service
In his Forty Years in the English
Postoffice Mr F E Baines tells a stir
ring story which illustrates the differ
ence between the slow pacing old times
and the swift going new
Sixty years ago the mails were car
ried through England by coaches At
the principal towns four horses har
nessed and two post boys ready foa
the road were always in waiting In
case of accidents
On one occasion when an important
bill respecting the West Indies was be
fore Parliament the packet for thosa
colonies was detained at Falmouth un
til the decision should be reached A1
last the vote was taken and the baga
containing dispatches and instruction
from the Colonial Office to the Wesf
Indian governors and consuls cam
down to Exeter and as was supposed
were all sent on by coach to Falmouth
In the middle of the night a portej
was dismayed to find a huge leather
portmanteau in a dark corner of the
office It was the bag of dispatches
In a twinkling a post boy sprang on
one of the waiting horses and shot for
ward to warn all the posting stations
on the hundred miles of road to Fal
mouth Behind him followed at break
neck pace a chaise and four with the
bag The mail coach had four and a
half hours the start The post boy dash
ed on sounding his horn
Toll gates flew open fresh

horses
down
When
the chaise reached Falmouth it had
made up the four hours but in the odd
half -hour the mails had been carried on
board the ship and she was now under
full sail leaving the harbor
The post boys flung the bag into a
boat and gave chase Pendennis Castle
fired a gun The packet understood the
signal hove to and the bag was flung
on board
This seems slow work to us now
when instructions can be cabled from
London to the other side of the world
in an hour Yet away back in still slow
er days we read of a monarch who
when he would make known in haste
an edict to his kingdom caused letters
to be prepared and sent them by riders
on mules camels and young drome
daries
But after all it is precisely the same
human energy that uses the camel or
the mail coach or the lightning We
have better tools than our brother one
century or twenty centuries ago but
are we any better than he Are we
serving God or our fellow men with
greater devotion and keener percep
tions of truth and light than he served
them That is really the important
question to ask
Advertising Pays
A New York newspaper recently had
a fine chance to test its value as an ad
vertising medium Says the Foutrh
Estate
It was given the advertisement ol
a certain New York magazine whicb
sells for ten cents a copy It was a larga
announcement and after reciting its at
tractions an entire line appeared In
bold display in the advertisement Send
ten cents for a number The compost
tor made the line come out In the papet
to read Send ten cents for a year The
advertisement appeared Sunday and
Mondays mail brought the magazine
over three hundred letters with ten
cents Inclosed for a years subscrip
tion as per your advertisement in yes
terdays The magazine consult
ed its lawyer who advised the publish
er to make the newspaper pay the ex
tra ninety cents on each subscription
and although this demand was at first
refused the proprietors of the daily
finally yielded During the first week
eight hundred and fifty five letters with
ten cents inclosed reached the maga
zine and now the total is a few over
one thousand one hundred Up to date
therefore the newspaper has paid nine
hundred dollars to find out what really
good returns its advertising columns
afford And the end is not yet
