Notwithstanding the discomforts and privations that would have appalled the citizen tmttsed to war'9 desolation, •re had somewhat rested, and better stHI, communication was fixed between us and other commands that followed us in the line of retreat, and from this time on varying supplies of hard tack wore available, but no meat. The whol9 country had been most thor­ oughly raked of every animal allowed to be fit for food. Two great armies had latejy maneuvered in this neigh­ borhood. anrf such beef, mutton or pork as was spared by them would be In materia) worth, a substance for log cabin window lights. Yet most joy­ fully did we partake from the scrap- Ings of the animal kingdom. We suf­ fered much for want of salt. Another feature of the situatiou was, we oc­ casionally found a knapsack, blanket, or other valuable, that had either been thrown away er lost by both our own and the Confederate forces in the skirmishes and contests tftvt attended the advancing column about two weeks before. Some of these finds con­ tained keepsakes, heart treasures, gifts from loved ones at home. In most cases the °f 'he owner were bleaching oi^vere shabbily buried In the sand near by. Articles picked from this waste did much to alleviate suflering. We already appeared ,'tnore like soldiers, and as the drowning man grasps at a stra#v, so we, through myth­ ical fancy and hope, again made a strenuous eflort to regain our old-time prestige, and once more become ser­ viceable in the great contest that yet Negroes from neighboring planta­ tions joined its by day and by night. They often brought in something ed­ ible, ar.d cheerfully they would give their last morsel to the soldiers.

I had charge of a few pickets somewhere in the woods. Sometime alter midnight my attention was called to a disturbance among fowls. Directly a rooster crowed about fifty rods away. I left piy horse in care of a guard and started out to take the bird in. I was just climbing over a fence near the roost when I heard voices in a very low tone. I also heard horses pawing the ground. I moved about cautiously until I heard a low whisper: "Mas F*-- come in yet? Someone U outside the hedge.*' An­ other boyish voice exclaimed: "Maybe its a d -d Yank." I tried very hard to keep quiet but ;t seemed as if every twig that I touched, snapped, i'e add to my perplexity I was not quite sure of the points of the com­ pass. I decided, however, that the rebs -vould naturally watch in the straight direction of their enemies. I made a| tireak for the woods; the Confederates made a break also. Per­ haps twenty re Lis were after mo, but there was noise enough for three hun­ dred. The rooster still crowed but I was not hungry. In tlie darkness I rati against a tree and broke iny nose. The blood ran froely--and so did I, for tliis was a free race, open to all I blundered all the while and the Johnnies gained on me. Some of them had passed me already. I very both had gone to the world of spirits. In this little aflalr a musket bait spoiled tlie buckle to my left shoe and another burned my cheek. When re­ called to trove on In line of march. 1 led my pickets a *hort cut to the main line, and In passing a desolate, forsaken cabin, one of my boys dismounted ami weht inside. There he found an old tobacco pail about lmlf full of sour milk, but nothing more. Finding milk we very naturally expected to find cow,somewhere, but failed. The milk was very old and gave forth anything but a savory smell. But we got side of it , all the same. There something about that milk that beyond comprehension. We actually drunk. We saw stars and galloped along the milky way, and we were Interrogated to explain our con­ duct and tell where we got our whi3- Hey, but we failed to make it plain. M.M.C. ( To be Continued.') HOW TO Cl'ltK A coi.O. , A medical Journal tells how one man was cured of a cold: "He boiled a little wormwood and hoarhound together and drank of the tea before going to bed. The neat day he took five pills, put one kind of plaster on his breast, another under his arm, and still anoth­ er on his back. Under advice froni an experienced old lady he took all these off with an oyster knife in the after­ noon and slapped 011 a ratistaYd plaster Instead. Then he put some hot bricks to his feet and went to bed. The next morning another old lady came in with a bottle of goose oil, and gave him a dose of it on a quill, an aunt arrlyed about the same time with a bundle of tweet fern, which she made into tea and gave him everys half hotir until noon, when he took a big dose of salts. After dinner iiis wife gave him two pills of her own make, about the site o( a walnut and of a similar shape, and two ieaspoonfuis of home-made balsam to keep them down. Then he took a half pint of hot rum, at the suggestion of an old sea captain risiting in the next house, and steamed his legs with an alcohol bath. At this crisis tyo of ills neighbors arrived, who saw at once that his blood was out ot order, and ISr Brewster is Attorney General of the United State*. He l« a different style of man from McVeagh. He never was an independent bolter, - He Win not pose as a reformer, undertake wills great parade to expose pfibllo frauds and then run away. His virtue is not of the cheap and noisy kind which e*- hauns itself in clamorous pro tent ion** The ringsters mocked at McVeagh, They hi*d no fear of his load threats. They tremble before Brewsler who will speak in deeds not word*. Ylw people are tired of this sickly sentl- tnentalism, this blatant cry of reform these boasted pretentions to political virtue which appear te»«ll on dress parade but which have lb nerve brought into action. Tliey are disgii!- ted with tiiis flabby virtue which Is so brave on the stump but which collapses when brought to the test of practical reform. They are naoseated with floe rhetorical periods in' praise of reform that are as music to the ear, but which betra$»iV*r promise when brought la the pfrue *o{ Hying issues.

Almost at the same instant a reb lilt tiie same stump, and, with an} oath sheared one side and kept on. One or tiie Union pickets iired. tlien two more. In an instant the same pickets began deliberately to empty their revolvers. A few rebs fired and then ran. I was oulyjsotne four rods from our line. 1 laid still and contemplated the situation. After a little while I heard a low voice say earnestly: "C> is a prisoner. Our reserve ought to charge, inaybe we might save hitn yet." I said: "Never mind the reserve, but 1 would like that rooster." Here let the curtain fall, for my part of this btory is told. In the grey dawn of tlie morning, Confederate mounted infantry made a frisky plunge at our pickets, but were worsted. Within an hour they made another dash. Our picket reserve coming up. the reception was toojiMfut* to be healthy, and again sullenly withdrew. Tlioy leff lii our power horses, and olo dead wovjiftled soidiers. We logpr several horses and one noble fellow. When struck, a-comrade stepped up to him and asked if he was much hurt. Tiie reply was, "Yes. death claims me; but 1 can get one inure shot," With a painful and heavy eflort he, with assistance, turned ou his face. Ilis trusty carbine was put in his stifleuing lingers, and the eye, glazing in death, onco more sigtited tlie foeman's heart. Tlie death koell went forth, and a brawny Confederate went down to the sod.

It will he seen that the craf­ ty assassin, aware of his ent're failure iu acting the rolo of insanity, uow takes a different tact: Dr. Henry P. Steams, Superintend­ ent of the Hartford retreat for the in­ sane, was tho next wituess. From 800 to 1,000 cases of insanity had come un­ der his supervision during tlie eight years he had been connected with the retreat. Witness had made four ex­ aminations of the prisoner at the jail directed to his physical and mental condition, Guiteau interrupted savagely: "You carue to me, doctor, as a friend, and I, supposing you were going to testify for the defense, talked very freelj* with you about my religious feelings and all about myselj, but Corkhiirs money was too much for you. I want to say here that I don't pretend that I am any more insane at this minute than Davidge Is. I won't say Cork ill, tor I think he is cracked (laughter) but 1 rest my case right on this claim, that 1 was insane on the 2d of July, when my inspiration and the state of my mind impelled me upon the President. To make it short, that's all there i» about it. .1 don't care what these ex­ perts say about my sanity now; that has got uothing to do with It."

Ka5r*President Arthur, in hisoffice of Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, has put hitnself on record iu fa­ vor of the enforcement of disciplin in a manner worthy of commendation. Kotir court inaatial^. eases have been presented to him for confirmation, modification or dismissal. In each case tlie finding aud sentence of the court have beed approved. Capt. Hatnphill. or the Fourth cavalry, was trieo for Irunkenness. He appeared in uniform Irunk, and staggered about in the pres­ ence of enlisted men. The sentence of tlie Court wus dismissal from the army. Lieutenant W. II, Hugo, or «>>«! Nintu cavalry, was tried "charge, found guilty and sedtenced to dismissal. Capt.

Johnson was arrain- ged for drunkenness, ncglect to pay debts and non-support of wife. ̂ Both were found guilty and sentenced to dis­ missal from the service. Prisiifent Arthur has given his approval in each case, and these men'are no longer in position to disgrace the uniform of tlie United States ariuy. Their fate and tiie apparent certainty that the execu. tive will be as strict as the martial court, will have a restraining influence.
