At daybreak n equnil of confederate ooldlors catno upon n drtinkon union pilviito , reeling down the road , loudly slioiiUiii > his Intention of "drinking till night , till lirond daylight , nnd not going homo till morning , ' " and wlioti accosted dccliircd ho was a "gom'tmm"und Hint nil they hud to do was to bring on the whole rebel nrmy to see It annihilated then and there. Ho presently showed n stub born determination to go to bed In the ditch beside the rend , nnd was * too tipsy to remember where he had left his com mand or how ho had strayed from it. He was taken into camp where nn ofliccr Inspected him , smelt his breath to as certain if his condition was real or simu lated , and pronounced him really in toxicated after a half hour or so , during which the frowsy-headed , whisky-reek ing object of interest sat propped iffallist a trco fast asleep. fJo wns then drnggt d aside to recover himself and was soon forgotten.The arrival of the news that the enemy was moving forward put the camp Into n state of excitement , nnd immediately after a smart young olllcor In gray rode out on n colonel's horse , giving the countersign with n pleasant nod as he passed the wunu picket who , an hour before , had laughed to see a drunken "Yank" stumble by , and in another half hour General Grant was in possession of the desired information. Hut there was wrath nnd lamentation in the "sceesb" camp when under a tree was found only a dusty , shabby blue uniform , which , like the chrysalis shell , had only borved to conceal the smart gray suit beneath. Not so fortunate was the spy who might have turned the fate of a battle had it not been for General .Lee's line in stinct , the instinct that we all know , but which can bo based on no logic. An- tiotum , or Sharpsburg , was at its hottest - test , when there gallopodsiip to Jackson a man in nn adjutant's uniform who cried out : "General , General McLaws Bends to say ho cannot reinforce you as ordered. The enemy lias engaged him. " Jackson , who was being forced back , was about to isstiu the command for a general - oral rotrcat , when Lee , riding up , glanced sharply at the supposed adju tant. After hearing the report of Mc- LUWH' detention , and for no reason ho could have given , ho exclaimed to two of his staff : "That man's a spy. Seize himl" The follow turned to lice , but wa caught.andin less than iivo minutes after ho had made his daring move his lifeless body swung from a tree. On one occasion one of Mosby's men ivns in the disguise of a negrcss with an indignant hen under one arm and a bas ket of eggs in the other hand. With Bayly turbaned head nnd calico sunbonnet - bonnet "Auntie" trudged along the road near which Hooker's army camped and finally attracted the attention of the ollluer of the guard , who with one or two men went out to accost her. "Hello , aunty , whore are you going ? " called the olllcer. ' 'Gwino ' about my bizno. * * , chile , " was the answer. "Where do you live ? " "Down the road a picco at Morse Jennies Tuckerses. " "Woll can't sell ' ? " , you us your eggs' suggested ono of the men , wiiilo another "I'll for them said tcasingly , nay you with a kiss , " and advanced his face mockingly , only to draw-back with an exclamation of wonder : "Why , you are no " But a slap too hard for any feminine hand , white or black , silenced his lips. This oIlli'or'B suspicions were aroused and he darted forward and snatched olT the sunbonnot. The entire basketful of iRgH was the second after t > ont direct into the faces of the startled Unionists und when they could wipe their eyes free from the o.vorrjpo liquid fruit of the hen it wns to see the "aunty" Hying for the thicket with skirts gathered about IhQ waist and revealing two decidedly masculine booted and trousered legs , while the astonished hen picked herself tip from where she had been precipi tately caht away and expressed in womanly nnd lionly fashion her opinion Df such conduct. Tlitiy LM I Denilly VVuapuna I was glad to BOO that the mayor of l-'rcdoricksburg had kindly extended nn Invitation to the Socinty of the Army of the Potomac , together with the confed erate veterans , to hold a reunion next year at that historic town , where wo mot in battle array nearly thirty-ono years ago , nays a writer in Hluo and ( ray. I revisited the old battlefield at that place a year ago. A comrade of my old regiment was with mo. Wo had boon engaged in that hattlo on the loft uf the line , undcu * Franklin , and ns wo stood upon the ground our regiment had occupied , two men cumo driving past in buggy along the road close by. Ono : i ( them seeing that wo were dressed in Cirand Army of the Republic uniform , trot out and came up to us. JIo said lie had been In the con federate service ; said ho : "l was stationed over yonder , where out lines bent down to the rlvor , not far from where you follows blow up ono of our ealKBons. " That wo well remem bered. "I was wounded "in the hip , " mid ho , and after talking over the situ ation us it then was , ho suddenly as- Htiined a very llorco look , put up his hand to his breast pocket and said : ' "Uonllomon , 1 fought you in 1802. and I am now going to Hunt you again. " Instinctively 1 also put up my hand to my brcabt poolcot , and there wo stood glaring at each ether. There , upon the wuuo spot whuro thirty years before 1 lay wounded and bleeding , after these many years , had fate decreed that I must como back and again engage in deadly conlllcty It seemed so. Wo drew our weapons at the satno instant and "llred" that Is , I drank out of Ids Ihisk and ho drank out of inino- and then wo shook hands. ( Imirraui Dick , A short tlmo before the battle of Fredcrlcksburg Jackson hud his head- iiiurtors | near the family mansion of the Corblns. This was very fortunate for llck Corbin , who wns a member of Jackson's corps , und who wns earaK | > d near homo. It also enabled him to play Ihu bout occauloimlly to a man ho almost adored. Ono day Jackson said to Dick that ho would Ilko to got his permission to cut ono ( if the lawn trues down , say ing that it was already nearly dead , "l'ut a treodijwn ! " said the inulgnunt soldier. "Wliy-i general , you can cut them nil down If they nro In your way. Move Iho house , too. If you wish it. In fnf , .

' that his grandfather ( Hon. John > . ; founder and cndowcr of the Lcalfo Wntti Orphan asylum , New \oi'k ) ob- Eorvcdtho young man's narllality for the military , and offered him , while n student at Columbia college , nn allow ance of il,600 a year-no mean income In those early dtiys-if ho would only study for the ministry * . , , Hut the full tldo of his Scotch-lr sh blood and the significance of his Ir sh name had their perfect work to do with him. The oltl family name in Ireland evolved from the Irish and the Scotch ancestry was Kearny O'Clcarman , ami that slgnlllcd "tho soldier with the bravo hand , " so Dr. Keating says In his history of Ireland. Grandfather Watts wanted the hey to enter the church because "ho thought the ministers had such a good , safe tlmo. " Having lost all his own sons , poor gentleman , ho did not wish the eld est of his only two crampons to enter on a career which had robbed him of the most brilliant of his children. While still boys all the leisure time of these two grandsons Philip Kcnrny and his brilliant cousin , afterward Gen- dcral do Poystcr was spent in mimic campaigns with armies composed of from 4,000 to 0,000 leaden soldiers , with perfect trains of artillery and every ad jutant pertaining to a properly equipped host. host.With these leaden armies battles were fought over n particular strategical sys tem : and what proportion of those knocked down by the mimic fire of musketry and artillery should bo con sidered hors do combat , nnd what others as invalided with Uio correct length of tlmo to be spent in hos pital before they were again available for the marching force , were questions submitted to the most serious considera tion. tion.Tho firing was done with spring guns : ono sbot for each cntinOn. ono for each regiment or separate detachment of infantry und so many for each line of sharpshooters. When the firing , alter nating , had gene through both lines of battle , the different bodies were moved a shorter or longer determined dis tance , according as they belonged to the different armies over spaces dictated by the relative speed of the different serv ices , whether light or heavy infantry , Hold or reserve artillery. All this was no.t left to hazard , but ac cording to a written or stipulated code. Field works aiid permanent fortifica tions were constructed of pasteboard , and the irregularities of the ground were represented by piles of books built up in accordance with agreement before operation began. The housekeeper , who took old time pride in the polish of her mahogany tables , to the rubbing of which she devoted the greater part of her time , was driven well-nigh crazy by the wars sometimes lasting for many weeks fought by thcso incipient commanders who appropriated all the tables and Hat pieces of furniture and who issued their mandates against any sweeping or dusting less the order of the mimic battles bo disarranged.

In nil bronchial affections the par oxysms of the cough should be placed as far as possible under cantrol of the will. The old idea that disagreeable sensa tions in the throat indicate the presence there of "something which ought to come up , " says Youth's Companion , has been entirely displaced by the moro rational view that the continued and prolonged efforts to expel that "some thing" uro often productive of more mis chief than would result from its being allowed to remain. There is attendant upon every dis ease of the bronchial tubes n greater or less amount of mucous , which exudes from the membraneous lining of the tube. Of course there are the accom panying signs of inflammation beat , pain , 'swelling und redness but it is the mucous exudation which is for the most Dart responsible for the disagreeable sensations which wo attempt to allevi ate by coughing. Now , it is certain that , in n great ma jority of instances , where't no general health of the patient is not attacked , this exudation undergoes what is called resolution ; that is , it is reabsorbed through the line network of blood ves sels about the tubes into the blood , where it is taken care of , ana complete recovery is effected. On the other hand , suppose wo do not wait for the resolution to take place : but that , on the theory that every particle of the exudation should be expelled , as being of a poison ous nature , wo strain to exhaustion every muscle of expiration , and , in fact , the whole system. What follows ? Wo may have accomplished our imino dlato object , or the peat of the inflam mation may have been out of reach. In either event , if wo couln see the point al which our efforts had been * directed wo should discover that they had not been productive of the results antici pated. Instead of the inllammatlon being in any way allayed wo should find that an olfect had been produced similar t'o that which follows scratching an itching sore. The irritation has for the moment been relieved , but it is only a question of tlmo when it will return with renewed - nowed vigor. The habit of endeavoring to expel moro of the exudation than will come away with gentle nnd infrequent cough ing is an exhausting and idle ono. A I.ittlo Ilnyiiml Her. Detroit Free Press : She was n pretty country girl.rustic but sweet and inno cent as a llowor. Ho was an artist from Iho city , and a poet , and ho loved the rustic maiden. It is soswect to love In the pristine prettiness of the provinces. ITo had found It so , and this soft night In September , when the moon was touch ing the earth and the air with Its silver lingers , ho had chosen to tell his love and claim the heart ho felt was throb bing in unison with his own. As she tat by him there In the gloaming ing , with the soft breezes making harp strings of her golden hair , there was a tender music In his heart ho had never known before. "Dear ono , " ho murmured as ho held her hand tightly in his , "I love you ; love you with all the energy of my passionate- nature und hero , this night , in the pres ence of the stars and yonder lambent Lima , I ask you to glvo mo that place in your young affections every true inan should bo gi von at the hand of the woman ho would make his own forovor. " Ho was slightly rattled , but she hold to his hand.

ABUNDANTLY PLENTY NOW Itnillcal Clmigfi In the TurltT fcclicilnlc Are Not Anticipated nnil with n Il'iniltnino Irailc It.ilnnco HIM- lncMint Get Itcttcr. Henry Clews. In his wcokl.y review of the situation on Wall street , says : "In the absence of Important visible fac tors Wnll street Is on the lookout for new elements affecting prices. The bulls hnvo found some support , diirniK the week , In the improving earnings of the railroads , the symptoms of a steady recovery lu business , the growing plethora of money and the pros pect of an early completion of the plans for reconstructing the llmmees of some of the great bankrupt railroads. The bears are availing themselves of the hill in speculation for forcing u reaction from tuo recent ad vance in prices ; but with only moderate success , their great obstacle beltiB the fa cility for carrying stocks that Is afforded by the abundnncy of money. "For the moment , however , the conditions of chief Interest center at Washington. Among these arc the prospects of tariff leg islation ami of measures relating to the cur rency. So fur as respects the former , broad Indications are now forthcoming as to the general scope of the changes of duties con templated by tlio committee on WUJB and means , and they may bo rcir.irdcd as being of a distinctly assuring character. When the committee reports the public verdict Is likely to be that Iho changes arc much less radical than has generally been anticipated , Considering tnat the existing duties upon very large amounts of imported goods ex ceed the strict requirements of protection , and. that most industries will re- colvo important advantages from putting their raw materials upon the frco list , it may bo conceded that thu not result to the manufacturer from the proposed changes of duty will be much less curious than has been generally expected. And when to tuts fact is .Tided the further one , that already the prices ol raw material are declining aiid that wages have fallen and are likely to dose so still moro trend-ally during the winter , wo have a distinct basis for u hope that the new light thus thrown upon the situation may soon lead to moro or less resumption of work aipong our now stagnant industries. Question of Currency Supply. "Wall street naturally attaches a special importance to thoniaucrof currency legisla tion. It is generally conceded that , as the suspension of silver purchases involves a largo stoppage of iicw supplies of money , there Is an iaiporutlvo necessity for provid ing without dolny some other form of circu lation tn 1111 the gap. There Is no second opinion , that the only dependence for that supply must bo entirely upon bank notes. But it is net clear , in the light of past ex perience , how wo can safely trust to the na tional banking system for any such increase of its Issues as the now circumstance would require. The system of bond guaranty has compelled n contraction of the issues to loss than half their former volume , and the oft- rcncatcd suggestion of authorizing the banks tu put out notes up to the par value of the bonds is an inducement altogether too small to bring out any appreciable increase in this form of circulation. If it be suggested that the system of bond guaranty bo enlarged or Eomo more elastic form of protection , the proposal encounters the wollnigh conclusive objection that the powerful opinions uud prejudices against such a radical change of the national system would , in all probability , bo found to defeat that resort for relief. unacr tneso circumstances , tuo proposal to permit the issue of notes by the state banks may receive a more or loss serious considera tion ut the hands of congress. Unquestion ably , the state banks , with their 8300,000,000 of capital , constitute a source of note cur rency of sotno importance. The thing to be determined , however , before utilizing that resort , is whether the notes to bo thcnco supplied could be secured in such a way as to adequately protect tlio noteholders and in sure their circulu tine always at par. That Is I'eally the central question in this problem , nnd Wall street seems disposed to wait for what congress has to propose on this point before determining its verdict upon the sub ject of state bank notes. Only I'cHHiintxm U In tlio "Street. " "The stock market is in a waiting atti tude. For the present the bears have gained nn ascendancy which they seem dis inclined to relinquish. The tendency to ward lower prices has mot with no resist ance from largo holders ; partly because sonic are willing to see lower prices , and partly because others are unprepared for any aggressive movement upwards. Wall street has not yu ; entirely lost the pes simism which the late panic created in the business world. Commerce and industry are reviving , however , but the improvement thus far is perhaps greater in tone than in volume. Moreover , the close of the year is approach ing , previous to which there is always a stock taking mid introspection that is un favorable to tlio consideration of now enter prises. In the mercantile world the usual inactivity belonging to November and December is being aggravated by the late panic , and recovery is delayed by an exag gerated fear of tariff revision. "Tho trudcTbulanco of October was largely in our favor , exports having exceeded im ports by SM.OOO.OOO. In November , thus fur. there has been n similar preponderance of exports. Under ordinary circumstances we ought therefore to bo Importing gold freely , us wo expected a few weeks ago ; but only small arrivals of specie have been reported , and the exchange market is still adverse to any imports sf consequence. From our own standpoint , however , the situation is steadily improving. If the after effects of panlu are still visible in numerous failures , small volume of business , etc. , It must bo remembered that all these draw backs have been discounted , and that con ditions uro daily mending. Prices of com modities nro universally low , nnd supplies are small ; conditions which cannot lust without laying the best sort of foundations fora general revival of enterprise. This re vival will come. It Is Inevitable. It may bo delayed u few weeks or months , and the longer It is delayed the mora certain will be its prrmunenro. Wall street has a fashion of anticipating such movements often long in adviinco of their occurrence ; and wo shall bo surprised if our leading llnanelers nnd op. crutors show themselves less capable than usual in reading the future.

Dun & Co. , speaking of trade for last week , says ; "Business has materially Improved In re tail circles during the week. The brisK weather bus stimulated almost every line , Saturday was one of the best shopping days for weeks , and sales were good in most lines for tlio week , Trade has to bo forced somewhat , however. People nro buying on closest margins , and merchants who adver tise bargains got the trade.

Kccolpts of both c.ittto and hogs show a considerable increase over- last week niul n year ngo , but slioon rocclils [ have fnllou off sharply. The figures nro as follows : Cattle , llous. Sheep.

Supplies have been liberal and of the saino trcncrnl charautorlstlcs from dny to day. Heally deslrablo beet stesrs oontliiuc hard to fret , and , as the demand for them has been very active , thuy always sold early in the day at eood strong prices. The in.irltot , however , has \iaen surfeited with common stock. Pine weithor hns cu- nblcd western cattlemen to clean un their marketable cattle In oo.l nhapo nnd for hat reason n latxo proportio n of the offer ings hnvo been direct from the rr.nco. Then the Inexperienced or thriftless feeders nru beRlmilng to send In their wnrnicd up , short feu nnd half fat stock. These cattle look all right In the country after they have been fed n few weeks , out they always show tin had lu the yards here alongside of gooa cutllR , and Itlllers say they malcu the poorest kind ot beef. As n result prices have been very unsatisfactory on the under grades-although prices are hardly quotably lower than n week npo. Another circum stance that makes trnUo dull nnd pilcos weak for common cattle Just now 13 that tlio markets are now full of poultry anil triune , which , with oysters , tnxes the place of beef to n gruat extent. While receipts have been liberal enough here , there has been a bis faliluc off In sup plies at Chlenzo , nnd the killers there have been compelled to draw on western markets for supplies. So long ns this state of affairs keeps up prices Are not liable to go down very much. It is n remarkable but gratify ing circumstance that Chicago is thus com pelled to help build up rival wnsteru mar kets in order to maintain her own su premacy. Sliovfcd No > ew Foatiiri'R. The market today presented no new features. Receipts were fairly liberal and the offerings included a fair showing of very dc.sir.tblo bcof steers , both natives nnd west erns. Good stuff was in active demand and strong. Some very choice corn fed native beeves brought $5.t5 ; and i.u ( , while good to choice westerns brought from 1.80 to 54.0. ! ! The under grades of both native and range caltlo sold indifferently , but at fully steady lliiures and the close found practically everything out ot lirst hands. The cow market was active and firmer on the belter grades , for which the de mand was very urgent , both from local and eastern killers , but the common and canning grades worn slow sale and rather weak. Oood to choice cows and heifers sold readily at from $2.ri : up to $ J.sr > , while com mon to very fair stuff went : ( t from 81.50 to $2.25. Calvc.s were steady at from tl.fiO to $5 for common large to choice veal stock and rough stock was not quotnbly changed , com mon to very good bulls , oxou and stags sell ing freely at from $1.75 to $2.05. l''euilcrs Close Flat. The feeder market started out all right this week , but flattened out very badly toward the close. The demand fell off and yard traders sought to hold up the market for a few days by buying up the fresh re ceipts at good figures. The tie mm id failed to improve , however , nnd thu close of the week found the pens full of stock and feedIng - Ing cattle , which the owners would be glad to got rid of at prices nil of JiOc to fiOo lower than a week ago. The dcclino has been heaviest on the light stockers that were selling so high ten days ngo , but all grades have shared in the general demoralization. The feeling is very weak , but present low pric-es will in all probability attract buyers next weak und thu trade pick up somewhat. Good to choice feeders are quoted at from $ : i.85 to $3.30 , fair to good at S'J.oO to J2.SO , with inferior to fair grades at i to Si.4'J. lircnk In Ilo Prli-cs. The week has witnessed a big break in " hog values. Receipts have not "been ex ceptionally heavy nor are prospects lavor- able for any immediate increase. It looks ns if packers had become tired of the load they wcro carrying , and In the absence of any speculative or consumptive demand for the deferred futures of provisijns had con cluded"to bring hog prices down to the basis on which provisions were selling , re gardless of the matter of receipts. The sit uation is full of perplexities-mil the absence of any speculative interest is beginning to make itself foH. Tlio Cincinnati Price Cur rent says of the week's developments : The movement of hogs Is enlarging mod erately , but MIII hhort of corresponding tlmo last year. Heturns and estimates for tlio week Indicate- the total packing In the west as 240,000 , compared with 205,007) ) llm preceding week and 300,000 for corresponding period last year.
