REPU-SE OF THE FEDERAL LINES
AT FREDERICKSBURG.
Au Ex-Confederate’s Account of the Work
Done by the Washington Artillery —
The First Assault—Meagher’s
Gallant Irish Brigade.
[New Orleans Times-Democrat Book Review.]
. The attack of the Union army on Marys’s
hill at the battle of Fredericksburg is thus
described by Adjt. W. M. Owen in his in-
teresting narrative:
At last the Federal line is formed, and ap-
pears above the ridge and advances. What
a magnificent sight it is! We have never
witnessed such a battle array before; long
lines following one another, of brigade
front. It seemed like some huge blue ser-
pent about to encompass and cru-h us in its
folds, their musket barrels gleaming Brightly
in the sunlight, their gay color ! fluttering
in the breeze. The lines advance at the
double-quick, and the alignments are beau-
tifully kept. The board fences inclosing the
gardens fall like walls of mere paper. Then
the loud, full voice of Col. Walton rings
out: “’Teution! Commence fir-i-ng!!” and
instantly the edge of Marye’s hill is iringed
with flame. The dreadful work of the
Washingto artillery has begun.
WARMING UP.
The boys soon warm up to their work and
aim and fire coolly and deliberately. Nearer
and nearer the enemy’s line advances, and
now they are within range of canister, and
we give it to them. Now they are nearer
enough to the infantry in the sunken road,
the Georgians and the North Carolinians;
and they are unseen by the enemy, for the
smoke is beginning to cover the field. All
at once the gray line, below us rises; one
moment to glance along the trusty rifle
barrels, and volley after volley is poured
into the enemy’s ranks. Great gaps appear;
we give them canister again and again; a
few leave the ranks—more follow; the lines
halt for an instant, and, turning, are seen
running in great disorder toward the town.
The first assault has been met and repulsed.
The field before us is dotted with patches of
blue; they are the dead and wounded of the
Federal infantry.
It was the division of French that had
charged the hill, and was shattered, with
the loss of half their numbers.
Hancock’s division now advances in
splendid style, and being joined by remnants
of French’s command, pushes on valiantly
to and beyond the point French had reached,
and then, in little more than fifteen minutes,
like our first assailants, are forced back.
Of the 5,000 men Hancock led into action
2,000 fell in the charge. With Hancock
came the Zouaves and the Irish brigade of
Meagher, bearing aloft the green flag with
the golden harp of Ireland. The brave fel-
lows came within five and twenty paces of
the stone walls and encountered such a fire
•of shot, shell, canister and musketry as no
command was ever known to live through.
The results was that two-thirds of this
splendid and gallant brigade was left upon
the field killed and wounded.
DRIVEN BACK.
To relieve Hancock’s and French’s hard-
pressed battalions Howard’s division now
came up, with the division of Sturgis and
the brigade of Carroll, and again assailed
the hill. Observing this movement Gen.
Ransom brought up the three reserve regi-
ments of his brigade to within 100 yards of
the crest of the hill, and pushed forward
the Twenty-fifth North Carolina volunteers
to the crest. The enemy, almost massed,
moved to the charge heriocally, and met
the withering fire of the Washington artil-
lery and small arms with great steadiness.
On they came to within less than 150
paces of our line; but nothing could live be-
fore the storm of lead that was hurled at
them from this distance. They wavered,
broke, and rushed headlong from the field.
A few, however, more resolute than the
rest, lingered under cover of some houses
and annoyed us with a scattering but well-
directed fire. The Twenty-fifth North Car-
olina volunteers reached the crest of the
hill, where Miller’s guns were posted, halted,
dressed their lines, and poured a few vol-
leys into the enemy at a most deadly range,
and then dashed down the hill and took
position shoulder to shoulder with Cobb’s
and Cook’s men in the road. Men of the
Twenty-fifth North Carolina had fallen
upon Miller’s redoubt, and he had to drag
their bodies away from the muzzles of his
guns. _
Joan of Arc Not Burned.
[Phrenological Journal.]
History seems to be about to lose another
of its favorite stories in the case of Joan of
Arc, as documentary evidence of the strong-
est kind goes to show that the old story of
the burning of the Maid of Orleans is a
fable. There is proof that Joan lived in the
town of Metz on the 20th of May, 1436.
She was then recognized by her brother.
There is a record in the archives of Metz
declaring her marriage to one Robert dez
Armoises, knight, and mentioning the birth
of two sons. After Joan was married she
was known as Dame Joan, and whenever
she came to Orleans she was sumptuously
entertained with meat and wine at the ex-
pense of the town. There is a record which
materially assists this proof and shows that
the town of Orleaas paid her 210 livres as a
recompense for services rendered during the
siege.
It was always difficult to believe that a
king who owed his crown to a mere girl
could suffer her to be burnt alive without
raising his voice. It was necessary that
the English soldiers, who believed her to be
a sorceress, should think she was burnt, but
Charles VII knew it was a farce, and
could, therefore, afford to remain passive
If the statement that she was not burned
can not be declared authoritatively, it at
least may be sufficiently sustained to clear
considerably the atmosphere about Rouen.
Liquors and Digestion.
[Exchange.]
In a lecture at the meeting of the British
Medical association, Mr. Roberts pointed out
the current error that wines aided diges-
tion. “Wines,” he said, “inhibit the action
of saliva to a marked extent, and have a re-
tarding effect on peptic digestion.” He
thought effervescing liquids were the least
injurious, and that wines taken with table
waters did not embarrass salivary action.
Distilled spirits, taken in moderation, we^e
found to promote digestion very distinctly.
Helping a Hurried Man.
[New York Times.]
Grocer (in great haste): “Well, little
girl, what can I do for you? Be quick, now,
I’m very busy.” Little Girl (frightened):
P-lease, sir, me m-mudder sent me f-for a

b-busy you can give me only h-balf a

To Drink Lemonade.
To drink lemonade scientifically, use two
straws side by side, and keep one about an
eighth of an inch in advance of the other.
It will thus draw up the loose particles of
pulp, while the other will remain un-
clogged. __

SLAYER! IN BRAZIL
Working a Railroad for AH It Was
Worth—Sold at Public Auction.
[Popular Science Monthly.]
Under the careless legislation ef many of
the states, which has permitted corporations
to decide for themselves the amounts of
obligations they might put out, it is no won-
der that the privilege has been abused, and
the making of shares and bonds, the latter
represented to be amply secured by mort-
gage liens, has been carried to criminal ex-
ces
Y)ne illustration will suffice. The Arkansas
Central Railroad company (the name indi-
cates the locaiity) built only forty-eight
miles of its projected line. The road was of
narrow gauge, with very light iron, and in
every way cheaply constructed. It cost
less than $10,000 per mile, including equip-
ment. As with most companies building
railways in new countries, help in its behalf
was asked from the communities to be
benefited, and bonds amounting to nearly
$500,000 were given it by counties, cities,
etc. Under a statute providing for aid
torailroads when their bods could be
utilized for levee purposes, the company
got $160,000 of state bonds. Under another
statute it got, as a loan from the state, its
bond to the amount of $1,350,000, which
were to be a first lien upon the property.
After such abun iant assistance, it would
have seemed hardly necessary for the com-
pany to put out obligations of its own.
However, it proceeded to issue and market,
its own bonds to the amount of $1,500,000,
of which was $1,200,000 purported to be se-
cured by first mortgage, which was not the
case. In addition, a considerable amount
of stock certificates was issued. Altogether,
nearly $5,000,000 of paper were put out and
negotiated on the basis of forty-eight miles
of narrow-gauge road. But this proved to
be insufficient.
The road, for non-payment of interest,
soon passed into the hands of a receiver,
who found it in such an unfinished state
that, with the court’s permission, he issued
a considerable amount of his own certifi-
cates to provide for necessary repairs and
betterments. Then the road-—the product
of so much outlay—was sold at public
auction, and brought the magnificent sum
of $40,000, which was paid, not in cash, but
in the receiver’s certificates that had been
purchased at a large discount.
The Wife of Carl Schurz.
IBen: Perley Poore.]
Carl Schurz, when in the senate, was
blessed with a devoted wife, two lovely
daughters and a baby boy. After one of
the senator’s great speeches, a lady said to
his wife, “I am sure you feel proud of your
husband?” “You can imagine that I do,”
replied Mrs. Schurz, with a slight accent,
her expressive eyes lighting up. ”My hus-
band tell; me that I am his severest critic,
but his last speech was to me very satisfac-
tory. He was in the mood to speak—his
voice, everything, was in accord. And
eighteen years ago we came to America,
and he did not sp>ak a word of English.
We were in Philadelphia, but my husband
felt the greatest desire to visit Washington.
He did come here, and some one
took him on the floor of the Senate
and he wrote to me: ‘My dear, I have hafil
the honor to go on the floor of the sen-
ate and I feel that one day I shall stand
there and speak, and you, my dear, will bo
m the gallery listening to me.’ I wrote to
him: ‘O, Carl, how can you think it possi-
ble for you to speak one day in the senate,
when now you know not one word of Eng-
lish?’ But now,” she added, “it has ail
come true, and you can imagine how happy
I am when I sit in the gallery listening to
him.”
When Mr. Sumner was passing away,
Mrs, Schurz came to his house and sent
upstairs for me. Leaving the bedside of
the dying statesman, I went down into his
parlor, and had to tell her that there was
no hope. “How sad! how sad I” she ex-
claimed, the tears glistening in her eyes,
to think that he is dying, with no
woman to smooth his pillow.” To
those who knew the story of Mr.
Sumner’s unfortunate marriage, her
wf/manly remark was deeply significant
If was not long before Mrs. Schurz followed
^ im across the dark river.

The Village Krrand Man.
[New York Sun.]
“Did you notice that man with the big
valise?” said a ferryman to a reporter. “He
calls himself an express agent but he is one
of many errand man who make a regular
business of coming to town every morning
for the purpose of doing business for their
neighbors. About every village in New
Jersey has one. Some of the larger have

chants every morning and get letters or
orders to deliver to wholesale dealers in
New York. They will buy a dress for a
woman, or a pair of shoes for the baby, or
a new hat for the boy, and ; they have an
extensive acquaintance in tue city, and a
long experience in the trade, they can
always buy to better advantage than the
countryman could.
“There is no errand which a countryman
wants done in town that they will not do.
Their price for each job i< 25 cents, as a
rule, but sometimes competition cuts that
down. They not only buy goods, but carry
them out to the one who ordered them. If
the errand takes them up to Harlem they
charge 10 cents extra. Even at that the
countryman has his goods purchased and
delivered for what would be the cost of ex-
pressage. The railroads encourage them
with special rates, because they bring
trade.”
A Type-Casting Machine.
[Philadelphia Times.]
Perhaps the most interesting things about
the foundry are the tiny casting machines
that pour out an endless stream of type as
long as they are at work. “These snug lit-
tle fellows,” said the type founder, patting
with his hand the odd little mass of ma-
chinery before which he stood, “can throw
out more type in one day than a man, work-
ing ten hours a day, can count in a month.”
The metal is kept fluid by a little furnace
underneath the machine, and is projected
into the mould by a pump. The mould is
movable and at every revolution of the
crank is brought to the spout, where it
receives a fresh charge of the metaL A
spring in front of the mould holds close to
it a copper matrix, and the stamp of the
letter on the matrix is directly opposite the
aperture in the mould which meets the
spout of the pump.
The Susquehanna’s Name.
[Chicago Times.]
The river Susquehanna is said to have re-
ceived its name in this way: An Indian
standing on one side of the bank called
across to the other, “Susque,” which means,
“Are you there?” His friend replied,
“Hanna,” which interpreted means, “I am
here.” A white man standing near heard it
and named the river accordingly.
Hojv to Cook a Coon.
Bob Elam, a Baker county (Georgia) coon-
hunter, gives the following recipe for cook-
ing a coon: “Fust ketch de coon, den
him, den parbile him, take him off and put
him on agin, and bring him down to a small
moist, and souz a few pods er red peeper and
salt in his karkass, and eat him right out de

[Rio Janeiro Cor. Inter Ocean.]
The government of Brazil is a limited
monarchy, and the emperor has about as
much power and occupies a similar relation
to the people as Queen Victoria. Events
have proven that a change of administra-
tion was a favorable thing for the country,
and under the leadership of the new premier
there is the prospect of the immediate enact-
ment of a law looking to the extinction of
slavery within the next ten years.
The fli-st legislation directed toward the
abolition of slavery was enacted in 1871, in
what is known as “the free-birth law,”
which was framed by the emperor himself,
and adopted by congress largely through his
own personal efforts.
THE LAW’S PROVISIONS.
This “laid the ax at the root of the tree”
an l provided that human bondage in Brazil
should end with the present generation.
Every child born since the passage of the
act is free, but the owner of the mother is
required to educate it and support it until
21 years old, being entitled to the results of
its labors during the same time. The law
also provided that slaves should be credited
with their labor, and all service performed
over and above a given maximum should be
considered as a surplus and credited against
the value of the slave, in order that those
who had energy and ambition might in this
manner earn or purchase their own freedom;
and by a further provision all slaves reach
ing the age of 65 were free, but could look
to their old masters for support in case they
were in a condition of disability.
But this law, however well intended,
proved impracticable, and could not be gen-
erally enforced. Forgeries were committed
upon the records of births, both by the slave;
and their masters. The latter refused to
credit their slaves with extra labor pier-
formed, or fixed so high a valuation that
very few were able to earn their freedom;
they neglected to educate tfo» children as
required by law, so that c ran if a young
man gained his freedom, ba was not fitted
to enjoy it or exercise the right of citizen-
ship. The old men and women were turned
off the plantation to beg Or find refuge in
the public alms-houses, and the planters,
feeling no longer any interest in the health
and welfare of their slaves, neglected their
sanitary condition, and ill-treated them.
The result of the law was to demoralize the
laboring element of the country, and proved
a disaster to the slaves as well as their
masters, disturbing the political condition
of the country.
THE PRESENT SITUATION.
Since the “free-birth law” failed to ac-
complish what was intended, the thoughts
of the statesmen and legislators of the coun-
try have been directed to the adoption of
new measures. The Liberal element advo-
cated immediate and peremptory abolition
similar to that which occurred in the United
States. The Conservatives originally de-
fended the slavery system, but were finally
compelled to yield to the inevitable and
fought for its extension. Then, recognizing
that the better policy was to secure gradual
emancipation, they have been advocating
measures looking to that end, and seeking
the protection of the pecuniary interests of
the slaveholders.
The Liberal party, in the meantime, split
into two factions. One desired total abol-
ition and the other deeming that impossible,
favored a compromise. The moderate men
were in power, but failing to secure the sup-
port of the advance wing of the party,
were compelled to seek the assistance of the
moderate. Conservatives, and finally failed
entirely. There was a dead-lock in the
congress, appropriations were refused for
the support of the government; legislation
was blocked. The Radicals declined to sup-
port the ministry and t}ie emancipation
wing of the Conservative party did not pro-
pose to let their political opponents have the
credit of the reform. Failing to accomplish
anything, being tied hand and foot in the
snarl, Dr. Saraiva and hie colleagues of the
ministry resigned.
THE NEW BILL.
The emancipation bill of the new ministry
resembles in its general features the meas-
ures which have bee^ so earnestly advocated
by the Liberals, but contains some modifica-
tions demanded by the Conservative ele-
ment^ and will undoubtedly become a law.
It provides first for the immediate emanci-
pation of all classes over the age of 61) years,
and this will release about 100.000 old
men and women from ^ondage. Their owq-
ers, are, however, compelled to make suit-
able provision for such as are Infirm or crip-
pled.
The second provision calls for a registra-
tion of all slaves under the age of 60 years,
with an exact valuation, of each to be fixed
by the enumerators. Those between the
ages of 10 and 30 are to be valued at a sum
not greater than $350; those between 30
and 40, one-fourth less, and those between
40 and 50 one-half less, and those between
50 and 60 three-fourths less. Females are
valued at 25 per cent, less than males of the
same age.
The third provision of the law sets aside 5
per cent, of the revenue of the government
as an emancipation fund, for the purchase
of such slaves as their masters are willing
to >ell at the goverenment valuation. Such
persons as are freed by the use of this fund
are, however, obliged to work for the gov-
ernment at the regular wages of freedmen
until they have earned an amount equal to
the cost of their freedom. At the end of
five years a new valuation and enumeration
will be made, and at the end of thirteen
years all persons in bondage become free.
Those who have made a study of the sub-
ject believe, however, that within ten years
slavery will cease to exist in Brazil as slaves
will then practically cease to be valuable.
BOUNTY ON IMMIGRATION.
Another important clause in the bill is
that which provides that planters who im-
port free laboring men are to receive a
bounty of so much per capita from the gov-
ernment, and the amount is sufficient to
pay the cost of the transportation of the em-
igrants from Europe to Brazil. There is a
great scarcity of labor in the country, and
several planters have been importing Chi-
nese and coolies under contract, as has been
done for some years in Pern. But it is abso-
lutely neces-ary to secure a large amount
of foreign immigration in order to prevent
the utter demoralization of the agricultural
system of the country.

An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrisburg, 111.,
says: “Having received so much benefit
from Electric Bitters, I feel if my duty
to let suffering humanity know it. Have
had a tunning sore on my leg for eight
years; my doctors tola me I would have
to have the bone scraped or leg amputa-
ted. I used, instead, three bottle of
Electric Bitters, and seven boxes of
Bucklen’s Arnic Salve, and my leg is
now sound and well.”

that settled on this lungs; had tried many
remedies without benefit. Being induced
to try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, did so, and was entirely cured
by the use of a few bottles. Since which
time he has used it in his family for all
Coughs and Colds with best results. This
is the experience of thousands whose lives
have been saved by this wonderful dis-
covery.
