SOLDIER’S GHASTLY RECOLLEC- TIONS OF AN AWFUL BATTLEFIELD.

No Time to Bury the Dead, Who Lay So | Thick as to Cover Large Areas of Ground. Biue and Gray Side by Side—The Letter ' to Somebody's “Dear Jack.” i |

“T have no time to bury my dead and |} €an give you none,’’ was Grant’s famous | reply to Lee, when, under a flag of truce, | a cessation of hostilities was requested

long enough to bury the dead. Thus one | great and awful feature of the battle of | the Wilderness was the unburied dead, that lay for days and weeks all over that blood stained fleld, one of the most horrible | and ghastly sights ever exposed to human | vision Probably no battlefield of the civil war afforded such an opportunity for

inspection as this.

Ordinarily, s'tcr a fight, burying parties | were detailed, and the long, deep trench, facommon grave, was dug, and the dead

were least covered; but not so here. | Grant could not stop, and the long stretch

MODERN JOURNALISM,

The Great Editor Has Given Place to the Great Business Manager.

The magnitude of the financial opera- tions of the newspaper is turning journal- ism upside down. There are still great editors whose personalities make the suc cess of their organs, but, always few, the number of them has not increased with the multiplication of newspapers, and even where they dominate they have to leave to others the mass of detail that has accumulated underand about the editorial chair. If the editor is the owner and has

busi.css capacities, he is attracted down stairs to the counting room. If he is defi- cient in executive ability, he has toengage

a man who has dt, and the requirements are such that the business manager, if fit,

} of country, overrun with Mosby's guerril- |

las, that intervened between the Rappa-

hannock river and the nearest | lines prevented aid from that direction in |; burying the thousands that were slain in the Wilderness and in the fight at Spottsyl- vania Court House.

I sat on my horse looking over the por- tion of the fleld where the fierce and dead- ly fighting of May 4 and 5, 1864, occurred. It was four or five days after the fight, about the 9th or 10th of May. A small detachment of our regiment had been sett as an escort to a train of ambulances to gather in the wounded who were being temporarily cared for in barns and farm- houses near the battlefield, and I thus had an opportunity to view this historic scene.

During the years since it has been an open question whether to be glad or sorry that I visited that battlefield. It could not be more vividly impressed upon me had I seen it yesterday. It has been a night- mare and a horrid day dream all these years. Often have I prayed that visions of those upturned faces, blackened and dis- torted, of the staring, glazed eyeballs, of the stiffened, outstretched hands, sceming- ly still grasping for support, those rigid forms wrapped in blue and gray, that had fought their last battle and now lay side by side in that great charnel field, might be blotted forever from my recollection. Then, again, I have been giad that I krow 60 well how that battlefield apjpc:.red, and how barbarous, brutal and inhuman it made war seem; glad that I knew how

English advice states that supplies ot butter are diminishing, consumption is greatly increasing, and an equilibrium of supp!) and demand wiil shortiy be resum- ed.

During the last few days bread bas fallen to nearly its furmer level, and the workingman need pot spend as much of his wages on this necessity of life, and conacquently wil) be able tc devote more to sucn luxuries as butter. Canadian butter is still going to England in large quantities, and is said to be much better in quality than it was two) months ago.

Pork.—The market in this province continues to be very quiet and the packing house ot the Messrs Kattenbury being still incompletethere is yet no movement in live hogs, The price of pork in the Charlottetowm market on ‘Jueeday last ranged from 44 to 5} cts per Ib by the carcass. In Montreal there is no material change to note. We qaote Canadian pork, $15 io $16 per br!.; pure Canadian lard in pails, a Te to T4e; and compound refined a’ 5c w She per lv.; hams, lle to 13e; bacon, We to 12c per Ib. There was weak feeling in the Chicago provision market aod prices for pork declined 12}c to l5e, closiag $7.20 November; $7.224 Deventer: $8.20, Jaonary. Lard dropped 5c to 10 , closing at $4.12.

10,000 dead heroes looked, who had faced

“and met death amid the wild, frenzied scenes of one of the greatest battles in the history of the world. ~

One of the mog¢ striking features to us that day and the one most thoroughly fixed in our memories was that all over that battlefield, or at least that part we visited, there lay three boys in blue to one in gray. It will be remembered that all through the Wilderness fight the rebels were pro- tected by a system of Carthworks and has- tily constructed fortifications and abatises, while the Union troops were compelled to fight largely in the open and assail the Confederates in their strongholdg. From these it was utterly impossible to dislodge the enemy except by the masterly series of flank movements so successfully planned by General Grant.

* At this point the Union dead lay thick- est. I believe I could have dismounted atid Walked a distance as great as two or- dinary city blocks and never once have stepped upon the ground—walking on dead bodies all the way. Indeed had I undertaken the ghastly journey I would have been compelled in seme places to climb over heaps of the dead. ‘

There was a slight growth of under- brush at this point, with a few trees re- maining. I made acareful examination and could not see a limb or a twig ora bush but was marked by a bullet, and some of them in several places. The wonder seemcd not that there were co many dead, but that any lived. Officers and privates all made a common cause here and rank was forever obliterated, for among the dead we noticed the shining shoulder straps of commissioned officers mingled with the ordinary blue uniform of the common soldier. The trees were torn and shattered, the fearful work of shot and shell being shown on every side. Mus- kets, canteens, haversacks, knapsacks—in fact, nearly all that makes up the aceouter- ments of the soldier—were scattered in all directions.

None of us felt like performing any act of ghoulish vandalism; though, as I saw a letter extending from the pocket of a dead Confederate soldier, I dismounted, and, some of the boys gathering around, we looked it over. It was torn and partly il- legible, but we made out that it was from the town of Hamlet, in the state of North Carolina. It was in a lady’s handwriting, and the portion that we were able to read was as follows:

My Deax Jacx—We hope that you can soon return and help us with the tobacco crop, but if not we do hope and pray to God that our dear Jack will not be harmed by those terrible Yankees.

As we looked at the letter and then at the upturned face of poor Jack, turning black from exposure to the sun, and then thought of that poor wife or mother or sister who was waiting and watching for She return of the dead and mangled soldier at our feet, and of the other 10,000 homes from which dear ones had gone out who were now among that host of dead around us, we began te comprehend something of the brutal, barbarous nature of war.—Cy- rus G. Shepard in New York Post.

Face Treatment.

Here are directions for a good face bath, or ‘“‘shampoo,’’ the effect on the skin be- ing most gratifying, it is said: Rub pure, fine soap on a sponge, adding several drops of best toilet glycerin. Previously dip the sponge in hot water. Rub the face and neck softly with the sponge until the skin is covered with the soothing lather. Then take almond meal and rub it in wn- til face and neck are perfectly dry. Wash off at once in hot water that .has had a teaspoonful of powdered borax dissolved in it. Neat bathe or spray with cold wa- ter until the flesh feels cold and firm, finally drying by burying the face in a soft damask towel. A teaspoonful of good

; cologne should be in the cold spray.

Prond of His Part.

A respectably dressed man on meeting a distinguished actor claimed his ac- quuintance on professional grounds.

“TL don’t remember you, my good sir,”’ said the actor.

‘**Nevertheless we have often played to- gether in ‘Hamlet.’ You remember Ho- ratio?”’

‘*You have never played Horatio to my Hamlet.’’

‘*Certainly not. But you remember that Horatio, describing the ghost’s disappear- ance, says, ‘But even then the morning cock crew aloud, and at the sound it shrunk in haste away and vanished from our sight?’ ”’

‘“*Well, what then?’’

“The ghost at the close of his interview with Hamlet says, The glowworm shows the matin to be near and ‘gins to pale his ineffectual fire—adieu, adieu, Hamlet— remember me!’ ”’

‘**Yes, to be sure. And then?’’

‘Why, then, you know, as we could not make much of the glowworm on the stage, it was agreed to introduce the cock crow.”’

*‘But your part in the tragedy?’

“It was I who played the cock!’’— Strane Magazine
