ANDS INKGDOTKS OF TIIR WAR Tt may not be out of place to mention on« or two incidents that occurred dur­ ing the battle of Stoim River. Cor­ poral Ed C. Hocker*mlth. of Co. Twenty-first Kentucky, acting as color- bearer on the occasion, was confronted by a rebel, wlto demanded him to "sur­ render tho*e colors;" but. Hooker, who was ad brave as he was fat, answered: "You may get me. but not this flag," aud pitched it vto the middle of the stream. Sergeant John T. Gunu, of Company E,n Twentv-flrst Kentucky, who was less an object of rebel attea* tlon at the moment, dashed into the rives and recovered the flag. Subse­ quently, while the charge was being made, a large number from various regiments rallied around those colors, aud to this promiscuous battalion Is due the honor of capturing the colors of the Twenty-sixth rebel Tennessee regiment and rolling from the field the large Parrott gun that bad been so lutai early in the action. t. A ROMANTIC MEKTIXO. During this sauguTnTM"* confllot .men of kindred blood met In imtatnl comb»t --even brothers measured| bayonets with enclt other, as on ijtjauy other ' iMtuWkftgils of wounded broi«WJ ,- wiP»on fflf« nlgiit soon after the fighting ceased, whom he kindly cared for. Col. Price himself discovered a cousin lying badly wounded on the fleld. The circumstan­ ces of the meeting were peculiar and even romantic. While he was riding over the battle-ground at night In search of the dead, dying, »i>4 wounded ot his command, he was stopped by Colonel Broadus, of the Eighth Ken­ tucky, to inquire about tije fate of Lieutenant-Colonel May, of his regi­ ment, who was missing. While tu con­ versation with hira an inquiry was niade in a feeble voice by a u»an lying near by, if that was Colonel Woodson Price, of J.exington, Kentucky. Receiv­ ing an affirmative response, the wound­ ed man informed him that he was a rebel cousin of his, Kidder Wood9on, ef Frankfort, Kentucky. The Colonel at once dismounted, and, removing the blanket front ihe face of the prostrate man, discovered by the light froin his lantern the familiar features of his relative. Coluiiel Price at once called an amluilance. aud, with the assistance of Scptt Dudley, the brave and noble hearted adjutant of the Twenty-first, yoppg Woodson was placed In the con­ veyance and gent to the hospital Colo, qel Price, In the meantime, directing Ills regimental surgeon to ttike particu­ lar care of him. But the poor fellow was mortally wounded,and, despite the careful nursing, died in a few days after the wounded were removed to Nash­ ville. This is a striking Illustration of the unnatural divisions which sundered Kentucky families during the war, and, on the other hand, of the ever-existing brotherhood between them in this $a tional struggle.--National Tfibtme, Novelty and Variety BAZAAR!

When Storekftpppr Brown, who becarqo qiy guide, shut UP shop and led me a few liundred panes westward to the squthQcn end of the rebel line of worlds., 1 wa^ ^nrprisec! to see hqw well the fqytificatipms are pre- servedr. VV^ >y^»-.e near the Qostanaula river, anti ^t was our purpose to walk along the^qrks more tlian tlirpe miles to tl\e Connn?auga. At the tiiqq of the battle Johnston's army was in the el­ bow qiade by il ,e two r,vftr8» Whicli unite i\boye Remca, and Shermaq stretched ncvAM tl*e ewuntry tq the northwest. On some battle-fields it is har^to understand the positions of the opposing forces, but at tlils place tlie.. scratches upon old Mother tarth are too plain to let the visitor lose the trail. Tlie reason for the good condi­ tion of the works may be found in the peculiarity ot tlie soil, which is of yellowish slate. Bits of slate cover tlie siJcsof the tuuuad, whlcit ixu§ wai»|r liigh en an average wherever it pn»s«a through timber. A WALK ON TITS BREASTWORKS. At the point Where We struck this remarkable relic we went up a hilt, eltmblng constantly over banks of up­ turned sub-soil. Pasfing out of these remnants of nrtiUerr fortifications we followed a path that wound along tlie top of the embankment for infantry. At sl>ort int:rvnh we came upon trans­ verse sections where there wero double lines, aud down the slope we saw many rifle-pits. As it seemed to me the line was more complete even than Hancock's line which remains undisturbed along the Brock road in the Wilderness. ] was interested to learn tiiat tho plant en use the trenches as outlets for water, nor was it less curious to he U1 that the banks left by Johnston serve in tlie place of fences ii«re atid there over tlie battle-field. \ MANY 8IC.N9 OF GALLANT WORK. Along strode tfte ^uide, and alter liinv plodded the Klght-seer. Now, qn the right we saw a stretch of lowland, witli a few darkies picking cotton, and again, looking through trees far to the west, we caught sight of tlie range of hills beyond Camp oreek, on the crest 6f which had been the Federal line. Il seemed that we had walked more than three miles, never losing trace of Johnston's line, when the guide, halting significantly, said: •This is tlie place of Hooker's big fight ; lo«,k at the trees!" The trees are al­ ways the tell-tales on a battle-field. Here, where hundreds of large oaks and poplars, now fallen and half-wasted away, bore their innumerable marks, the Twentieth corps had breasted a bloody tide. Every foot of earth roundabout had been iroddeti by the quick heel of advance. The stream of *prlng water now trickling at the foot of tlie slight slope had caught red drops that belonged of right to the hearts of boys In the Adlrondacks and of fellows who still should be chopping for bread In the Northern Tier. Good Asa Churchill once sat on tho hill press­ ing his doath-wound as he sent his Biblo aud his love to his wife in Brad­ ford, In tliis Way QuVdc Brown showed me the whole llue of defense until we Came to the thick timber on the western bank •f the Counasauga, where the works end. Having seen this line and having visited several points occupied by the Union runted ^.tjufff (f- j*V with ^Wfrni)®y§ standing In the midst of rank weeds, particularly flirt patches of Egypt- Ian clover, to nifich now clung romantic interest, and a few forgotten graves In tho woods served to make tlie rest of the ramble interesting. Nor were these populous acres found at every place of combat left tin visited. The Federal dead of Resaca were moved to Mari­ etta. but the Southerner who fell re­ mains on the field. Many Goorglans, Aiabamlans, Teunessceaus and men from Mississippi rest in a cemetery near the village. Some of the graves have white headboards, while others are marked by iron plates shaped like scrolls.

It would be njore correct to say that sq many petroleum certificates chapged hands, "But W , ia' a P® trql^uq^ certificate?" be asked When a producer allows a barrel of crude, petroleum to flow Into the tanks of the Unitcc| Pipe Line Company, that company issue* a certificate to the producer, which certificate entitles the producer to the value of a barrel of pet role u in whenever the producer, or anybo/iy, sl\a|l present it fqr payment Besides these pi-oduoers^ other oil companies^ like t^e Standard, and, in fact, any cotqpauy holding large quantities qf qll stored with the pipe line companies.paM v*rtitl- catos sgfiinst it, and It is these certifi­ cates which are bought and sold at the petroleum exchanges. The sale of }0^- 000 barrels of oil at the exchange means simply that 10.000 of these cer­ tificates have changed hands--simply circulated at whatever price t#as bid by the buyers and accepted" by the sellers. The same certificates may be sold over and over many times In a day. Call and over look tlie fine lot Carriages at H. A1. Uiieu & Of KMISM ON INTKRK8T.

She will leave you one of these days. These burdens. If not lifted from her shoulder*, will breaR her down. Those rough hands that have done so many necessary things for yoo. will be crossed upon her lifeless breast.
