A Col. Georae W. Smith. |j Ca[>c MnT lias nlfninlntu rniiac lo be « proud of the record of her sona who re- S s ponded to the call of their country, t' when the dark days of '61 ovc, shadowed " thp land. In no section of the Union h was Uicre quicker response than at Cape a May. When the first shot was fired a upon Fort Bumpier it arouacd every 8 palriol to a war heat, and enlisting began n at once in the ttr- 1 reg nient raised for ll defence of the imperilled flag of the c nation. The boys caught the f.vcr of b war and drilled" in every town in the ll county, using old muskets, and iu ah- H driUing in everything except firing. Any h one who had seen service had plenty to a do in the work of manoeuvering this « crude army, hut if the guns were net ' there the spirit was, in a)l its fire and < fulness. Tall flag poles were rtrected in » the Tillages from which floated the k •• Star* and Stripes." the gift of the o women "who were soon lo pan with d . go to the front and bare their breasts to s treasonable ballets that the government c : nrightAe perpetuated. Those wore dark S hours. The fate of the nation hung in « 1 the balance, find it seemed that our or- ' ring sister, the so called Southern t on- 9 fedcracy must be permitted to go in t i peace. But that was not to be. for the 1 law was to be upheld, and the Union of t . the states preserved at all hazards, hence 9 there were calls for volunteers from the r , several loyal states, among thcin. of 1 ' course, New Jersey. Governor Parker t sent a regiment with the very first for ■ the defense of Washington, which was • at the time threatened with capture by ' 1 the fiery Confederates. The writer ivl i members the regiment. The First N. ! , it stopped long enough in Phiiadelphi. I i to lunch at the old " Cooper Shop " at < ' foot of Washington street before cm- ' ' barking for the beleaguered capital. He • I saw the boys got their coffee and rolls « ! from the patriotic hands of the ladies of 1 . Philadelphia, and then with the good i byes of the people who assembled to see [ them off, they were hurried to the front ■ From this time to the final draft, early I ! in '05. Jersey responded nohlv, and some i ' of her best sons served on land and sea > ■ that the monster secession migijf lie I i checked and ultimately destroyer! from 1 , tlio face of the earth. It was a time ' when immediate action couid only unite ' 1 the great heart of the free rates in a ■ r common struggle such as the world « never saw before. The national sin of . human slavery hail to he atoned for by the costly sarritire rrf tlie best ldood of the land, and it took four long weary yrais that the monster of secession might be checked and ultimately destroyed from the face of the earth. Our readers will remember the time when the SJtbJfegimeut was recruited. Company "i " being composed of upper Cape May Co. men, and Company •• F" from lower Cape Miy. It was sent rlirectly.to the front in August 62. and participated In the battle of Fredericksburg suffering severely on the charge "upon the ITelglits where Albert Edmunds and Edmund Townsend were among the slsin. while the advance was being made in the thickening gloom of night. There's many t Cape May household across whose threshold were cast dark shadows during the time the 25th was at the front, and many of them yet . llnger.remlnders of the frarfdf^srmigr I of battle. The regiment did provosMnty . in the city of Fredericksburg, soon aft>r I crossing the historical Rappahannock, I being between two fires. While so eroI ployed, some of the boys were made I prisoners, and afterwards suffered in I Confederate prison pens. The regiment I also psriitipa ted in the fight at Suffolk , I Vs., and behaved most gallantly. Our I chief-of-police Wm. H. Farrow was desI pcrately wounded in tills Bttrie, and I carried off the fl.ld to the hospital, j Messrs. Hkinuel Tomlin, James Whit aker, Aaron Learning. E. B. Williams. Wm. T. Stevens and S. II. Stiles served as officers, and distinguished themselves with their comrades of the file before the ' Colonel Henry W. Sawyer of whom Jj we hope lo say something later, en- * listed in the Fi'St N. J.

Smith, of n- our city. He was. lorn in Cincinnati * ie 1828. being the grand son of Thomas . Smith who came to this country from England in 1750 and settled lo Maryland and married, leaving four sons and a daughter. The oldest soo.Tbomna.mar. . j rMSpjifcti ISIekh.m, of BaWmoro, wd

Almost re broken -bearUal- lire- tore hen- with llCL'te three fatherless boys W lliam. James ! b: and George, moved lo Philadelphia, and i d' in 1861 to Cape May. when the boys en. i is tired the army as volunteers. William Hi was killed at Gettysburg, and James j p | was wounded in llu- wilderness, while n I we shall briefly tell of George in relal! <ti I a ( to bU military life. | II In 1861 lie enlisted as orderly sc-r- ; a gcam lu Louis BrFHHMfied' (xiffiiK'TffW "0 excellent regiment for promotion for it n was In nearly every engagement of the g of the Potomac, doing sbmc heavy wa

So early a« January 11th 1889, Ser- dr» geant Smith added to liis chevrons the In insignia of Sergeant Maj .r, it being af- thi the battle of Williamsburg in which liis his company participated. When the anadvance waa begun upon lilghinond, slii and just before the Seven Day's battle, a Major Smith waa put in com- fiU mand of Companies A. and ti. the of- f°' lives pf 111 toe two organisations bring ' eitlier killed, woundcl or sick.

Some ideal q« I regimen; had passed may be gotten, jsr when it is stated tliat it left Fair Oaks 81' with 525 men and 20 officers and nlico an It got to Harrison's Landing there were " ' only 75 men of those who only a few "" lief-ire proudly advanced upon the enemy, confidently expecting they would °' be in Itlchmond. For his dlstin- I!l guished services in this series of haUlag. Ul Serge ant. Smith won MsshoultTer strap*, fl and was commissioned Lieutenant of a* H. October 2.

Wm < r S.

In the later yea s of , Ilia service he waa suooealvely promoted | to JIajor and Lieutenant Co ouel. The «ansea thai led to his re-lgn»t on have 1 a been meotlooed, but it oughl lo lie added f i that his fellow n(lle a parted with him t _ regretfully, and the men of the com- ' mand held him In highest esteem be- . a cause of his regard for tbein when Inthe J I. uuii-dtlid. I in a word thr Colonel is a SAMIer with t ! iruc soldierly instlpcir-and that with a , II naturally human disposition made him a the idol of bi» men. Socially.

it ia an iwful sight to sec a man but with for, -sight and skill no gi man heed drown. Fancy * sea in-whieh "tc is no swimming, and a sea into hi which you may plunge unaware." A tl; ia iopigg over the green U "ltHikhig out fuiui undnrrin- bruiui BOlll- yi 1 at the lazy cattle and the prairie m ! playing in the sun. Suddenly there s a sound like a giant's throat swallow- it ping a clicking shoot of terror. Tho t-> | prairie dogs run into their holes, and a w ! moment lutAmomc out cautiously, cttri- p I ously and frightened. The tall, reed- h j grass is waving where the horso ,tc ; and rider were just now. The antelope j ,j. (heirsronBinnvrtWytMider look s, around them watchfully. Hat is ! c nothing to fear, no man in sight ne is t! going to town, that rider, with the «

sages of a liard winter's work in liis n pocket, riding his favorite broncho, a Iressed in the buckskins he had fringed n n tho winter evenings, ready to show r .ho foolish girls how wave ho looked in his rudo attire. Where is lie now— he » nul liis horso? In a grave of slimy, p shivering mud— alkali paste, blue with c s nameless tint of putrid death, lias |; filled his throat — covered his eyes be- i, fore h^^ujd.ciose the lids. WUa^RJes' tiiis menu --fl'.is hideous freak of nature— some work of a devil s endowed with a moment's power ? No; i only an alkali sink: only a natural well tilled with a paste as yielding as water. a retentive as hell. I'icture to yourself i Hie surface setting back to its normal j quietude with an indescribable gulp, a ® ghoul-like smacking of the lips, A v grave that supplies itself with dead, a ( that buries almost before it kills, c insatiable, bottomless grave, set like trap for the living. The sink-hole is c not always covered with grass, some- | times it has a caked and seamed crust j bluish white alkali on the top of it , even that is. a poor safeguard, for . long, green grass around it will hide • from the rider until it is too late to • avoid it. . ' " The tenacity of this paste of mud is ( something incredible," says a writer. , I have never seen a man caught iu a i sink-hole, but I have seen a man rids • to the edge of one, discover it too late to turn his horse, and, shaking himself in the saddle, vault over the horn- , pommel, when the pony was caught, i striking tho ground far beyond the I sink - hole. There were twenty men 1 there, and before tho horse had sunk fur there were half a dozen ropes fast riii pull almost anything, but they couid not draw that horse back from the grave that was' closing over him. flu-re is ii strange suction about this alkali it holds nil it grasps with n horrible pertinacity." Tiie deplorable intolerance In religmutters which distinguishes Itusrule, has just obtained fresh vicone named Tikhauoff, an inferior of the telegraphs; the other, a countryman. These were a weeks ago summoned before the court of Novgorod for an offence iigiiiiist oijhodoxy, an offence detailed in the 181'th paragraph of the Penal Tikhauoff, it was alleged, has assembled various persons aud told them he could not find the Orthodox Church to he right in recommending the worship of Holy images. " The SaViour," he said. " never spoke one word "about such images. We ought to worship God alone, And when preying we should do well if we did as the Saviour told ns to lo, to go iuto our chamber instead of praying in the streets as the Pharisees in the old time and as tin* Orthodox now." Many of the hearer* sympathized with the views of Tikhauoff, and tin- other offender, Veksdine. seems to carried on an energetic agitation the " new truth." The two men charged with the ofwere sentenced to hard labor. A groat crowd attended the trial, consistfor the most part, of sympathizer* wi<K the defendants. Only one of ailthi ltusslan papers and reviews has had the courage to make any remark s about tills sentence. That organ, a review called Ibe Yiestrik Tevropl (TBmrFhropean site«wiiger), asks what the adherents of Tikhauoff and Veksdine, who attended the trial, can think of the case ? It can scarcely he supposed, the writer says, that tljL sentence will, in their eyes, bo judged a sufficient proof that Tikhiinofi and Veksdine are wrong and the Orthodox -Church right. It is much more probable that the condemned men will considered martyrs to truth, and that the number of their secret adherents will increase. Ail that the Orthodox Church can gain by its severity is to increase the number of religious hypocrites. lUlhln, la Warm Water. Working people, because of the dinging of dust to their perspiring persons, a sanitary authority says, become fit subfor the hath tub frequently; but frequent bathing, however, is weakening. For most people a bath before breakfast end ere retiring to rest is waste of valuable time, and doA no good At nil. Fat men ought to have agood, cold sponge in the Summer time, and a hot bath once a week. If workwomen adapted the latter practice, there would be fewer diseases prevathan Is -the ease at present. A warm bath taken Immediately after having been in contact with any one affected by contagious disease will ward it off la nine cases out of ten.
