May 30, 1t is pleasant to occasionally come to Ijjlll Newport The vulgar display on the part of the limp and halting aristocracy is hateful to see; but there is a good ana olden face shining benignantly out of unpretentious plenty and a mellow perspective of historic age. Go where you will the eye ranges along mossy walls, by lane and by street; catches sbimmerings of light beyond vistas of overarching elms; rests genially upon stone to which the architecture of our time is a stranger; sees amplitude and hospitality behind great colonnade porches; lights upon dormer windows and hipped" roofs of such ponderous measurement as could alone have been the outgrowth of sea captains' "square-rigged" dreams; and rests here, there and everywhere, upon time-softened base, capital and arch r.s were only wrought in this country in such a place when our young, but buxom and aggressive, commerce by sea was winked at for a spice of privateering, ID its soberer days still laid its hands upon the riches of the Indies, West and East, Then, again, what a real aze for our land is here. Professor U.tfnof Copenhagen believes the Old Stone Mill of Touro Park to be 800 orIKX) years old, and a genuine relic of ante-Columbian Norse colonists.

The City Hall dates back to 1763. On Clark street is the old Baptist Church, erected in 1735. The ancient lloneyman mansion, at the corner of Church md Thames streets, was built in 1704. Trinity Church, where worshiped the colonists, the British army of occupation, and finally the successful revolutionists, has stood 144 years. The Charming House on Thames street was built in 1720.

Scores of mansions are lure built in the earlier part of the last century, while the famous Coddington House on Spring (street has stood 114 years just as you will see it to-day. One can almost close his eyes and see the ancient folk as they were once here; so much that was theirs remains. No o'erquick fancy is required to revive the very scenes in which they moved. The flavor, the incident, the sight and sound of it all, come easily enough as one wanders here. The stately ways of the colonists; the rugged earnestness and often the arrogance of the British occupants; the daring and sacrifice of the revolutionists the lordly swagger of the rich old sea captains; the pleasanee and grace of the French, when lie Segur, De Lauzun, Destouehes, De t'Estrapade, the Counts de Barras and Noallles, the Marquis de St.

Because 1 believe there Is as great a proportion of rich men as of poor men who are endlessly doing good for eood's sake, and absolutely without other motive, it was genuine enjoyment the other day to sit alongside General Forrest." the colored smoking-car porter ou the "Congressional limited train between New York ana Washington, and hear his radiant story how the richest man of Chicago, P. D.

Armour, had taken him out of bondage of inexpressible ignorance and made an educated, hopeful, happy man of him. "General Forrest" is probably the best-known and best-liked railway-car porter in the world, and his life has beeu almost a romantic one. He was a piraninny slave, bough: in New Orleans with his mother, Ann Burr (and If black old Ann Burr is living this little story may give her yet a bit of earthly heaven), a few years before the war by the afterward famous Confederate cavalry leader. General N. B.

Forrest, for bis Coauoma County (Miss.) plantation. Though but a mite of a lad, Forrest was fond of him, and kept him at his side as a sort of diminutive valet until the General's surrender at Gainesville in ISO 3. For a good many years "General Forrest," who thus honestly by his sobriquet, knocked about like all the rest of the Ireedmen flotsam and letaam of the war, finally securing in 1872 a position as smoking-car porter on the through New York and Chicago trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In eighteen years be never was discharged and never left the company's service but once. P.

D. Armour was responsible for that. He had been to Washington and was on his way West. He had been enjoying a cigar in the smoker, onnearing Altoona wrote a telegram which he directed the "General" to be very particular about with the operator at Altoona, as one word was not very clear. The "General" filed the message; returned to the car; and began his usual avocation, when not waiting on passengers, of studying bis primer.

Armour saw this with some alarm for the fate of his message: questioned him sharply; found that he could not read, but that his wits and memory served him in such exigencies; and on leaving the car turned to tne porter with, have you got sand enough to go to school and be a man if somebody would send you the "General," "jess let somebody try!" "All right. Go to school." With this Armour left the car. Some two months later, on his way to New York, he found THE SMILING "GENERAL" Attending to his duties as usual. Regarding him with severity, Armour brusquely asked: How's this thought I told you to go to school?" "So you did, for sure, Mr. Armour.

But well, 1 jess thought you was a-funnin' me." i don't 'fun' anybody. I tell you to go to school." "All right I'll go sure this time if you say so." Well, I say so. Gd to school at anywhere you like." Not another word was exchanged on the subject. But the "General" left the road; first located at Hamilton College, Va. changed from this to Wilberforce College, near Xenia, Ohio; where he remained six years, leaving the same a well-educated man, and, as he says, "with no airs to be a preacher or an editor." in the summer of 1868; and at once secured a car on the limited," between New York and Washington.

During all those six years, and to this day, Mr. Armour's tremendous interests have never interfered with his writing this black man, at least once a mouth, letters containing expressions of friendship, encouragement, approval, and drafts rauging from £. to £50. Lie has expended fully BWJO on the "General's" educaticn anr) support; has made an educated and sensible man of him; keeps bis picture on his desk in his office; both he and his aun who, the General says, is as plain ait a shoe," treat him witli the greatest friendship and esteem, and have neither ever asked so much of the General as to bru.ih their clothing or cleau their bouts. Every story should have a happy ending This cue will be so provided on the l'Jth of June.

Ou that day General Forrest one of the colored belles of Wilberforce. Their bridal trip will be to Chicago for their benefactor's blessing, and 1 would like 10 be one to -cc them ascend the great mnrbie stairs which lead to the millionaire's La Salle street ofliee, and witness the handsome reception when General Forrest and bride are announced within. While in Paris a few days since a member of the present French Cabinet, anxious to secure any sort of intimation as to American Presidential possibilities for pressed me so closely upon the subject that out ol politeness, as a makeshift, I combined a reminiscence with the best guesses I could make upon a matter subject to such deep complications. The result of the conjuring may have interest to others. Along in the last naif of the fifties such Illinoisans as Abraham Lincoln, E.

B. Wubburno, Bichard rates, N. B. Judn, Stephen A. liurlbiirl and my own father, had a custom of frequently coming together at the old Tremont House, Dearborn street, Chicago, for political consultation.

My father had an odd habit of taking me with him to these, meetings; seating me in a lince arm-chair, aud becoming utterly oblivious of ivy presence, while the political wisdom aud cigar-smoke of these affairs regularly forced me into a half soa-sick, sodden sleep. On one occasion, I think IT WAS IS' THE BUMMEB Of 1858, when I had attained the advanced age of 10 years, I. was in this usual comatose condition, when I awoke and found myself In Mr. Lincoln's arms. lie held one of my hands in his left hand, and, while discussing certain plans which were about concluded, with his right hand was stroking my head in a gentle, fatherly way.

Startled at engrossing so much attention from so great a personage, and blushing confusion at being found asleep, I made effort to escape, my father meanwhile offering ample irrelevant excuses for my somnolent condition. Mr. Lincoln held mo closely, and at once quieted me with his simple, tender words. Among his reassuring expressions were these: "Do not be ashamed to sleep anywhere, my boy. Sleepy boys make the greatest men.

Why, now, we've got a boy down home, about your age. That boy of mine just sleeps all the time. We call him 'Sleepy to fun him a little. But I often tell him, sleep all you like. If you'll sleep hard enough you're bound to be President of the United Slates some day! Who knows, I stopped my story to the French Cabinet officer right there where Lincoln stooped his kindly prattle to me, but 1 have thought of what he said a million times since, and I told the curious Frenchman that it was possible, as the West must hereafter set the pace in these things, and would doubtless insist ou controlling nominating conventions, that there could be many less available Republican tickets numed than Robert T.

Lincoln of Illinois for first place and Cbauncey M. Depew of New York for second. Then, as to the possible Democratic nominees, I told him 1 thought there was just 9110 man In that party in the West impregnable from any previous doubtful associations; a man who would, if any Democrat could, secure a large and sympathetic following from among the veteran war organizations; and who was as nearly as possible the one man the Democratic party could regard as an invincible leader. That man was ox-Postmaster-General William F. Vitas of Wisconsin.

With him a wise political management would mate Governor Hill of New York. While the friends of Sir. Cleveland would never permit either the nomination or election of Governor Hill at the head of the ticket at this time, they would be easily reconciled to giving Governor Hill second place; and with such a ticket a tremendous Western and Eastern enthusiasm, effecting a "united Democracy" in reality, would result, while the South, as usual, could be relied upon to take care of itself. True this is but a quick conjecture, impelled by foreign curiosity in a high place, making obligatory the best answer possible from an American. But it will do no harm to put these, COSJECTCEAL TICKETS Into small caps," and let people look at and think about them a little: RESIDENTIAL TICKETS FOR 1802.

There is probably no word more effusively or irradlcafly fixed in the vocabulary ot American slang than that one now exclusively and universally signifying a mysterious, dubious, yet powerful and all-sufficient influence with, or over, political combinations or dispensers ol political patronage. Its use is quite as common nud comprehensive in all active business, and not unusually in social, and even in ecclesiastical, affairs. I refer to the word pull." One has a "pull" at the White House; another has a "pull" in municipal affairs; a clever clergyman has a "pull" at local or general conferences, with presbyteries, in church and missionary boards, indeed with his bishop or archbishop; and the schoolboy of 10 strives for a "pull" with his teacher or among the juvenile crowds whose affairs comprise the most important considerations of his daily life. The word has been editorially deplored, assailed and unmercifully scourged and pursued, but always comes out uppermost and goes straight on in its sententious work and uses with hardy knuckles aDd sturdy legs. Like cms of those grim and hardy waifs of the street, that, homeless, parentless and without ancestry, pushes himself, from the very aggressive power of his usefulness, into position and place, "pull" may be now regarded as a naturalized American, and important enough in its hard-listed place to deserve attention to its ancestry.

Various philologists nave already written essays giving "pull" distinctively American origin. By the purest accident of research upon another subject, 1 discovered this to bo incorrect. For its immediate parentage we must charge its obloquy, or credit its merits, to the Irish. While recently in Ireland, engaged in an investigation uuon certain of its resources, I came upon an old work entitled, "A Statistical Survey of Roscommon," printed at Dublin in 1832. Among the quaint and interesting recitals of a local nature to be found In this "Purvey" is an account of the rise and fall of the Argina Coal and Iron Company, in 1824, known as the "bubble year" of English and Irish speculation and particularly of the, remarkable manipulations among London nobility and capitalists in a nearly successful effort on the part of an Irish engineer, architect and builder with the significant name of Flattery, to float a Boscominon bog and hole in the ground upon London investors for Flattery's share on which booty was to be 5100,000.

Although it was uphill work, and eventually became so glaring a fraud that Parliament investigated and put a quietus upon the scheme, the radiant enthusiasm of Mr. Flattery found frequent vent, by letter, to his Roscoinmon friends. In one of these, dated London, November 30, lb'24 (Appendix p. is found our American "pull" in its robust force of application and incisiveness. MR.

FLATTEST WRITES: "I have not sighned anything for them yet, tho' 1 have huinbuged them out of £200, and got them to send of the work of the engine, which con.es to £1000. I have now a pull on them, and will make them do whats rite." The announcement of Stanley's engagement of marriage to Miss Dorothy Tennent, the London painter, will recall tn the memory of older working journalists of New York his earliest known dream of domestic bliss. His inamorata was a truly sweet Philadelphia girl, daughter of a well-known family of that city. It was a wonderful love match, flaming gloriously along through 1S(J8 and while Stanley was simply an ordinary sort of correspondent and utility man on the New York Herald. He was a furious and ardent lover: kept the railway car-seats warm between New York and Philadelphia visiting his betrothed and the balance of the time drove Felix de Fontaine and the rest of his companions among the old-time Herald boys wild with his rosy schemes for future domestic joys.

The greatest source of their discomforture was in his perennial and gorgeous architectural fancies. He drew hundreds upon hundreds of plans, each one for a residence to cost auvwliere from $100,000 to 550U.000, though the generous and improvident fellow seldom had more than enough money on hand for "a bowl" at "Cobweb Hall" and before ho would mail these to his Philadelphia sweetheart, as he almost daily did, his set among the Herald boys must invariably examine and pass judgment upon them. "Going over to discuss the changes in our future home," came to be the explanatory remark as the party went into council. This was something fearful on the other fellows, all forgiven, however, for Stanley had a big heart for the fraternity; and he would never forget his fellows, not he; nor his lovely wife to be, not she. One great, grand room was to be theirs forevermore.

Indeed the wonderful mansion was to be built all around this grand room. It was to be filled with broad, cool, leather lounges. A great library was to cover its walls. It should have half a dozen fire-places and at least a dozen cosy corners. Tables and all material for writing should be yet nothing "shop-like" in sight.

There should be loads of splendid rugs, A sideboard provided with such galore of inspiration ana wealth of cigars as never wan in any other man's home should be there. for his newspaper friends. By George! they should eat, drink, sleep and work there, if they liked. In a word, it was to be, and be called, their "Soul's Rest." Thin dream was broken in upon by his African search for Livingstone. On bis return, the most famous man of his time, in 1872, he found his betrothed married and iilready a mother.

The "Soul's Rest" dream was done. The heads of the old Herald boys are already well slivered. The Philadelphia lady is the mother of young men looking, about for wives themselves. And Stanley, still hale and hnarty, realizing his dream in another way, with one woman who could work and wait, is to be a sort ol king of the vast Congo Free L. WAKEMAIt, liSV.

Chief of Fo ie? Crowley and Captains Isaiah W. William T. Ihuglass, John Short aid Andrew J. Dunlevy. AN FRANCISCO'S Tolice Depart- ment is efficient and well ciplincd.

It now has a maximum strength of 401 men, 336 of whom are patrolmen. The city has an area of square miles, and not less than 1000 miles of streets, nearly all of whicli are patrolled by her policemen. This work is carried on under the direction of five police captains and the general supervision of the Chief of Police. Captain I. W.

Lees has charge of the detective force composed of twelve men. Captain A. W. Stone presides over the City Prison. Captain William Y.

Douglass is stationed at the Central Station in the old City Hall; Captain Andrew J. Durilevy at the North Harbor Station, 522 Davis street, and Captain John Short at the Southern Station, Folsom street. r. crowi.et. In stature Chief Crowley is somewhat above the average sized man.

He is strongly and compactly built. He has a pleasing address and a manly, military bearing, which at once impresses one with his strong individuality of character. For a number of years he has held the highest office in the Police Department with signa honor and distinction. He was first elected Chief of Police in 18(X5 and served In that capacity until when he was succeeded by T. G.

Cockrill. Under the new administration in 1880 the Board of Commissioners appointed Mr. Crowley, Chief, and he has held the office continuously ever since, being regularly re-elected every two years. CAPTAIN ISAIAH TV. T.F.F.S.

Captain Lees of the detective police is by profession an engineer, but nature evidently designed him for another pursuit, as subsequent developments have eminently proven, lie first served the department a 9 patrolman, and has been in the city's service for upward of thirty-five years. In his position of patrolman he distinguished himself for the readiness and cleverness with which he ferreted out criminals and frustrated their plans, and so, litially.liis ability in this respect received the wellmerited recognition of appointment to the position which ho now holds. Captain Lees, as may be seen by his portrait, is one of the line-looking meu of the department. CATTATN' TVII.T.IAM T. DOUOL.ASS.

Captain Douglass is a native of New York State. He also served the city first as Datrolman, after some years in which service he was appointed Captain, lie is a large, strongly built man, with full chest, broad shoulders and a generally commanding figure. His smoothly shaven face, firm lips and piercing eve are familiar to all frequenters of the Central Police Station. Though advanced in years he is hale and hearty aud lias the appearance of a man in the prime jf life. When delivering his orders to his men his eyes look his determination, his lips harden into lines of decision and one Is led to wonder if he is ever other than the firm, dotermined mnn that ho appears; but when engaged in social intercourse the lines of the mouth soften and tho eyes twinkle with merriment.

Caplain Douglass has been in thn department some thirty-four years, and has held that position longer than any other police captain of the same rank tn the United States. CAPTAIN ANDREW J. DUNLEVT. Captain I)unlevy started out In active life as a and after cnminif to San Francisco Me drifted into the Police Department, about 1808, in which service he lias been encaged for the past twnutyona years. He, too, as a patrolman, in which position he proved a most excellent officer.

His many admirable qualities as an officer endeiired him to his fellowpatrolmen, and won the respect and admiration of his superior officers. Upon a vacancy occurring in the captaincy of the North Harbor Station he was appointed to that position, which he has held since. His piercing, deep-set eye plainly indicates that determination of character to which no doubt is due tho success he has attained in his chosen vocation. CAPTAIN JOHN SIIOKT. Captain Short of the Southern Station is a native of New York State.

He has been in the department for tho past twenty-one years. Captain Short is one of our wellknown pioneers. During the early days here he held the position of clerk in the Postoffice, then located on the corner of Waverly place and Clay street. Ho remained in tho Postofflce in several capacities up tn ab.mt 180.) or 1800, when he received an appointment in the Sheriff's office. After some years of service as Chief Jailer he was appointed directly to a captaincy on the police force.

Ho is a man of but few words, but excellent executive ability, giving iiis orders in plain, unmistakable language ami a marked tone of authority, as one used to commanding absolute compliance with his instructions, and, as a friend of him remarked, "lie ia the youngest old man in California." wood. AN ISLAND FARM. One of the Carious Places iv the 'mi nly of Sonoma. CALIFORNIA is a land of wonders" once remarked a visitor from the 1 East upon his return from tho Big Tree Grove, the Yosemite Falls, the Caves and the Natural Bridge of Calaveras County and other places of interest. He spoke In eulogistic terms of the vnst ransbes, the great tracts nf grazing lauds, the broad and fertile meadows and the grand scenery that his eyes had rested upon, aud expressed astonishment that the natural beauty and the magnificence of the State was not set forth with more, minuteness than has been done.

"Why, there are thousands of people who cross the Atlantic yearly," said he, "who go to see the beauties of Alpine scenery, who, if they knew how much grander is the scenery of California, would turn their steps toward the land of the. setting sun aud witness sights that are nowhere else to be met." While there ait; thousands of people in America who have no idea of the magnificence of tht! Golden State, there are many in California who are ignorant of thu large. number of beautiful maces that are to bo found in various counties of our State, ut points off the usually traveled lines. few days since an acquaintance, in conversation with the writer, who has bean a resident of the Bay City since "the days ot old, the days of gold," suggested a visit to Tubbs Island. "And pray, where is Tubbs Island?" asked ths writer.

The. only reply was: "Meet me in the morning and I'll pilot you to one of the curious places iv Sonoma County." Agreeable to appointment there was a meeting at a place designated, whicli was followed by a pleasant three hours' ride from this city to Sears Point. On the train we lell in with and the writer was Introduced to Mr. Hiram Tnbbs, a pioneer of California and prominent citizen ol Oakland, the owner of tiie place which was the objective point of our visit. In those parts he is known as the "Prince of thu Inland," and he did all iv bit powai tv thu visit an entertaining aud iv- structive one.

The island is a tract of laud of about 1500 acres situated some distance from Scars Point, aud cut oil from the main land by the waters of l'etaluma and of bonouia creeks. It is reached by row-boat and, uewi'd from a craft of this character, the sight of an island un which there is nothing in the shape of trees or verdure other than that which has been produced by the skill and putieuco of man is a singular Once upon the island one is reminded of Kobinson Crusoe's home, for while there is ou every side evideuce of comfort and prosperity, there is a sense of loneliness by being cut off from tho rest of the commuuity, but the superintendent, J. Stout, and his family and tho'e who work under him have the satisfaction of knowing that, isolated as they are, they need not, like Enoch Arden, watch day after day for a sail, but cau, when the spirit moves them, reach the mainland and ininple with the people of the county of So- iioma. 'lliis island is to the owner what to many on the mainland is a country site, where he with his family and friends can when desired enjoy perfect rest from the life of a city. The dwelling complete in all its appointments faces the east and commands a fine view of the surrounding country, and Irom it may be mauy small craft that ply up and down the creek.

The land, which has proved that it is susceptitilo of the highest cultivation, is covered with acres of waving grain and iv one portion is an orchard iv winch are to be found fruit trees, all in bearing and of every variety. Some time ago there was discovered on the place wells of natural gas, aud at present the product is used for illuminating purposes and is the only fuel used for cooking and heatiug the house. It is piped from one of the. wells and held iv reservoir. "The uiscovery of this prodvet of the earth," laid Mr.

Tnbbs, while showing bis visitors the source of supply, where lie threw a piece of lighted paper, which ignited escaping gas and sent up a bright stream of Maine, "was an accident. One of the men came across It while digging for water. This find has proved of great value and ia proof to my mind that if existing at this point it must exist iv other parts of the county." On the island were sunk six artesian wells, out of four of which Hows gas. The water whicli flows from wells does not appear to be affected by thu gas, as the cattle drink it. In another portion of the island artesian wells produce excellent water.

The pride of the owner of this island faim is the splendid collection of cattle and poultry of the finest breeds. The presence of people on this islaud and the changes that have been made have not driven away the flocks of wild ducks that are in the vicinity. Through the courtesy of the owner, triendl who are fond of sport have been permitted tv go ou the island and bag the lender teul and the luscious can vu back. This place, as was remarked, is a curious one upon which to locate a farm, but it has turned out a success in every way. It is in a region where the climate is equable, and there everything nourishes.

Ou the beach their are to be found clams, and in the creek the angler can fish to his heart's content. This place proven what results can be produced in desolate places and how, with enterprise and energy, a desert island can be iiiaUe. lo bloom like a garden of lowers. MAHOEIiy.

AN ANECDOTE OF THE WAR. Miss Nancy's Wonderful Silver She So Dearly Treasured. An Incident of the Three Days' Battle at in a Closely Guarding a Freciom Bundle. Wrlttenfor The Sunday Call. I that lived In quaint old tysburg, before the war but knew one of its mi prominent Miss Nancy, the maiden sister of a prominent Judge? She was then the sole survivor and representative of the aristocratic bouse of Dalrymple.

A scion of an old Southern family, who, a century ago, wrote that magic trinity of letters, F. F. after the family name, she had removed to Gettysburg with her brother and his family her girlhood, reigned a belle among the sophomares and seniors of Pennsylvania College for nearly a generation, and ou the death of her brother, a college professor, renounced the "pomps and vanities of the world and all the sinful lusts of the flesh" except her admiration for and faith in Southern chivalry. Not to have "tead" with Miss Nancy nt hpr board, on whicli the solidsilver plate of the family, monogramed and crested, was even more conspicuous than her dainty tea-biscuit and Southern sponeecake, was to have missed the "setting" of a picture of old-time luxury and refinement ns beautiful and suggestive iv its way as is The Angelas." Beside the sugar-bowl, creamer, coffee and tea urn which adorned the table, were two solid and elaborately carved candlesticks, a snuffer-traj, pair of snuffers, and an extinguisher, which always stood on the east and west end of the high, (dd wooden mantel in the parlor, to be looked at aiul polished to the highest point of effulgence, but never u.sed. The candles in them were extinguished the night after the Marquis de Lafayette supped with us in said Miss Nancy, "aud father said they should never be relit for one less great than he." Among Miss Nancy's most intimate frieuds were my brother-in-law and his wife, who, at the breaking out of the war, were the most pronounced adherents to Northern sentiments aud Northern policy.

Nut so Miss Nancy. "The South will win, you'll see, Professor, because its army are all chivalrous Southerners from the first families of the South," said the now dried-up, wrinkled old spinster, as her faded eye.3 kindled with the patriotic "light of other days." It was the of June, News had been Hying four days previously of A. P. Hill's corps that had just crossed the Potomac and was inarching through Pennsylvania's border. The wildest excitement had seized upon the hitherto quiet, Si.KKI'Y I.MTI.K TOWS OF GETTTBBUBG.

The Twenty-sixth Regiment, P. V. of which Company A was composed wholly of students from Pennsylvania Colleae, were sent, under instructions from General Couch to guard the approaches toward the town. However, at o'clock in the afternoon the advance guard of the enemy, consisting of ISO to 2uo cavalry, rode into Gettysburg, shouting and yelling like savaees, tiring their pistols, indifferent whether they killed or maimed mail, woman or child, and rushing from stable to stable In search of horses. These were soon followed by 5000 infantry, being General Gordon's brigade of Early division of Ewell's corps.

Their route, was past Miss Nancy's house. Jlost of the men were exceedingly dirty; some ragged, without, and surmounted by the skeleton of what was once an entire hut. In fact, their leant; wardrobe needed replenishing in every department; hence, they rushed eagerly to shoe, hat aud clothing stores, freely offering their rolls of "Confederate scrip," which, they said, would in a few days be better than our own currency. 01 course, these again were but the forerunners, of the entire invading army, which with the Union army were all moving on to the focus of both hostile and friendly Gettysburg. Soon after the awful three days' battle now of world-wide renown had beuun, the residents of the west end uf the town were advised by General Reynolds to leave their houses that the shot and shell of the enemy might not reach and injure them.

In my brother-inlaw's house, as in very many others, all was surprise, confusion and terror. Shot and shell were whistling and tearing and crash- Ing through the streets and against the brick walls of the sturdy old houses; dead and dying men were falling upon the door stoops; groans rent the air and hell and its furies" indeed seemed let loosp. "To the cellar, Julia, with thu children." shouted the professor, himself as brave a man as ever lived. In a very short time mattresses and blankets wore rolled down the long tligiit of cellar steps after them, and such cooked provisions followed as could be hastily found in the pantries. In the midst of all, a loud pounding was heard at the rear door, and a woman's voice, pitched in shrillest iiaiii (creaming: "Let 1110 in, Ha.

For God's sake open the door!" The professor went to the rescue. Tnere stood Miss Nancy, bonnetless and terrified. Upon her thin 111, almost cutting into the bone by reason of its weight, hung a large white linen pillow-slip, thruiiuh the broad hem of which a heavy tape had been run. It was filled to the top.
