The bal- . tie bad been lost and won. and the stars j I and stripes floated above Wincbetler, I never again to be lowered from their . high place before the gtars and bare. , Sheridan rested in the bed from which , the thunder of his guns bad aroused Jubal Early, and the latter made his couch in the open fields beyond Fisher's ~ nm It was a great night In Winchester. , About every house was a hospital, and , nearly every public building a prison. f The old brick court house and its yard , was crowded with prisoners, Ihc most of ^ ihem Jolly, brave, good-natured fellows —mi n who had learned on many a bard | fought field how to give blows and take ( ' Ihem. Back ot tbc two armies in Vfri gima were tho two great principles for - i which the war was fought, and. to a de- ' grrc pre-eminent above the members of | all the other armies of the great war. j i each man believed the cause In which ( w s. engaged to be just. Ueoce they ■ fought like ligers, yielded like men and gnve to the fallen and tbe captured all the consideration and care the hour and the circumstances would permit. The prisoners were disarmed, guarded ami fed. The wounded were brought in and provld d for, wlile Ihc great mass of the army went into camp, made coffee and ' slept on thcir'anas. ' It was *n haur in which tho glory and j hand. The living humbled, the wounded 1 and the dying patriot and the maimed and expiring rebel, the bond anil tbc 1 free Jostled each other by tbc wayridc. ' while the dead in the bine ana the gray | lay side by side, with upturned faces and unclosed eyes appealing to tbc same ' God. The cheer and the shout of vie- 11 tory, and the blare of bugle, the roll of ' drum and the grand c 1 the ' bands, playing national airs. Qp 1 over the fields and entered alike the ears of ' qulsbed, reminding Ihem, perhaps, that ' fiom their veins was ebbing die blood of ' the same ancestry. During the iieat of tbc battle hospil- J als had been established at various sheltered places near tho scene of the con. tlict, and the corps of surgeons were kept employed without intermission throughout Ihc day. Id tbe valley of the Apequan one bad been established. , By noon iis capacity to care for tho in- s jured had been far exceeded, and do*,. 8 cut of the maimed lay on the ground ens or tne maimea imy on tue grounii ■

outside in tbc hot sun. wailing their , turn for a' tendance, and all the time i ambulences continued to rumble back 1 and forth adding to the number. Among tbe wo mded the hospital as -iatunls were i moving about cxaming the extent of • tluir injuries opening a com here to find a wound beyond all surgical aid, { ' have to fall under the knife of the sur- i gcou. As the victims looked into the ' '• eyes of those who pronounced upon the - extent of their injuries there was n < question of life or death on every face, t il and those who were passed by uncared J J for save a drop of water kucw their fate ( f was scaled aod t' at in all probability c k their hours were numbered in the few 1 that would make up the day. Inside J the hospital tenl the surgeons were at c •e work. With their coats oil and their t sleeves rolled up. their hands and their * clothing covered with human blood, 5 they looked like demons as they bent t Over their patients, and with probe, t " knife and saw, jabbed, slashed and cut ' away the human flesh before Ihem, re- J moving an arm from one or a leg from „ another and throwing the limbs through r the openings in the teal Info the outer i field, where they grew and accumulated ^ In Indescribable masses, to be carted t J away and be buried at last in a common f grave. Lint and bandages were hastily I applied, and then the surgeons would | cease from their work while the patient , waa being removed to his plaoc of rest t upon tbe ground, standing back like so 1 many barbers for their " next." There Is no poetry In war, no element of glory , ■j here. It la the scene of the shamble i "" with the Image of the Creator. Right In tbe midst of the battlefield | there was e white brick house, a porch j running around it, and on each aide a i a lawn, close cropped, green and Inxur- < lanL To the rear of the houac an or- j shard abd the usual baro and Virginia t outbuildings. When tbe morning was < J. young this place bad been to the rear of ' Early's line of battle, and had been tak- 1 an possession of for hospital purposes. ( „ As the combat grew every room waa oc- , , cuptcd with the wounded, tnd tbc yard I waa dootted all over with the men in ■ gray who had been conveyed thither for ( attendance. The ladies of the house- | t hold had remained and rendered their I — assistance in allocating the sufferings of 8 the slightly wounded and caring for \ those who bid passed from under tne : surgeons knife. Later In the day the J- house became the oenlre of the field of battle, and tbe orchard tp tbe rear of II 1 . marked one of tbe most deadly scenes • L of the conflict. It was final y occupied : r by the Union surgeons asa hoej-llul, and [) the suffers in bine were brought in and laid alongside the wounded and dyjng i, in grey ; but to all alike these women rt admini'tered care aad consolation. Afm ter the battle the surgeons moved ,,n- £ ward with tbe line ink. Winchester, and ■n began their work anew, tbe wounded at : la. the farm house being left in tbe care of — stewards and alteodanU. It was tbe morning after the battle. BDey waa jnst breaking, ana a Union officer was riding over this part of tbe field, noting tbe destruction which bad been wrought, where the dead and many of the wounded still lay uncared fpr. Hta attention waa attracted by a ten woman in deep mountiflg, attended by an aged negro, who. waa moving about — among the fallen, putting water to the ID lips of the living and "tenderly covering the facet of the dead. Tbe negro waa •w engaged in carrying hay or straw and]

placing a pillow ot il beneath the heads of such as were not already beyond tbe reach of human aid, while she bathed their throbbing temples aod spoke unto them words of consolation. It was a sight so unusual that the officer stopped and questioned her. She was a member of a divided house hold. Some of the members' were servin the Union and others in the Conservice. Ilcr father had fallen wearing the gray and ber husband bad gone down wearing the blue, and In conclusion this is what she said : "On one hand I see the grave ot the who gave me being, on the other ! that of the father who gave being to my Child. Between the two I aland, loving , but unable to rejoice in a victory cither ; and yet every throb of my ] heart heals f..r 0ie Union, while .every sense is deadened by tho thought that door may briiig me tidings of diaastcrto others whom I bold dear." The officer , turned his horse into the highway and returned to Winchester, thinking over the course of civil war and the misery it , entails on the innocent and helpless. Throughout the night relief parties ' wounded. The rnvalry huA returned ] from pursuit, ami again resumed its positions on the Hanks slid in advance of the reformed army, and the blue rarer. again ready at noon to move forward like a huge piede of machinery up ■ the valley. When the sun weni down that night the Third Cavclry division , preparing for an all night march off to the left and into the I.uray Valley. , and Custer, on the right, was in the saddle ready to prepare the way along .the back rqads. , T Jubal Early looked down from his , fortified csrnp on Fisher's Hill, with iu single road winding up the bluff from and the swift rolling Sheuansunrisc tbc next morning the herd of the blue racers was in motion, but so quietthai when Early searched the valley witli his glass on the following day not templalcd Hanking of his position by the long line of blue that was moving up the valley from Winchester. Gifts of Poison. Ills lime Ibat respectable merchant* prvasion ot all gift prize and lottery articles of merchandise. These schemeare not only demoralizing to legitimate business and to the morals of the comto morals of

i are being carried in the fale of artirlcs ' of food have become a source of great i , danger to the public health. Tlicv are. ' tiring* more oHcse than de'vfces'to'swdn- 1 ' die honest and unsuspecting people. 1 , It is gratifying to learn that in some < in-tanccs the officers of the law have , taken hold of the mailer. In New York I and also in Chicago parties who in this 1 way offered gifls to pureha-era of their ' , pnekages have recently been arrested I upon indictments for lottery swindling. . The 1 itcst candidates, both for public cx- - ccration and criminal prosecution, are the manufacturers of the alum baking powders, who are both by means of gifts and lottery tickets, disposing Wf large quantities of Iheir corrosively prisonous , compounds, which are so well known to detrimental lo health that no housekeeper will admit them to her kitchen. ' knowingly. This form of swindle is not 1 only being peddled from house to house. < under promise of large profits to be realized, the manufacturers are entrench- 1 itig themselves behind the counters of ' metre grocers by getting them to offer the alum goods with the gifts or lottery tickets attached, thereby shifting the to prosecution, in part, upon other, and perhaps innocent parties. Every grocer or dealer, for instance, who i sells or offer* tor sale any of the prize i lottery baking powders it a criminal the eye of the law, and liable, upon 3 conviction, to fine and imprisonment, while those who sell tha gift goods arc, f morally, a* responsible, for Uit-y are of- , feriog an Inducement, or prize, to bouackeepers lo use a food that contains a , corrosive poison. This is a predicament - in which ft U not possible our grocers ■ will not care to place themselves when t , they come to think seriously of the mat- . i It must be borne In mind that every one of theae gift or prize baking now- i dcrs are alum baking powders. These ] i powders .cost less than four centa a . pound to produce; and gift or prize , costs but a few cents more. They are told at the price of a first-clasa baking 1 1 powder so that the swindle, in a com- j i mercial sense, Is enormous. But the . . chief iniquity ot the business oouslata In selling, aa presumably whojpaome, an ' article of a positively injurious charac- I L and by mean* of gifts or bribes In- , i duclng servants or unsuspecting houser to purchase and use it In our dally food. 1 There should be some prompt method of reaching these dangerous practices , - and punishing the parlies engaged in . I their promotion, if the present laws , not ample, we commend the matter . to the consideration of our State Board of Health for recommendation of such ^ • additional legislation as shall be effective : r for tho protection of the public.

6 national aid to kptlcatlox. ' Wilh an overflowing treasury and h ' host of intelligent teachers already in > the field, we will be derelict in our duty I to mankind if wc fail to apply a portion of the surplus to the' advancement of ' education. The several measures thus ■ far proposed by Congress seem based upon a wrong principle, placing a pre1 mium, as it were, upon ignorance. It is ' an open secret that the object of the 1 Blair Educational Bill is lo educate tho negro at the public expense. This is ' right per or. The nation,— the world at ' ' large,— is under lasting obligations to j the slave ancestry of our negro populaI tion. L-.t It be paid • Not by forcing an unnatural and repulsive equality, r but by liberal education. Found a Na- ' tional school system for them. Under 1 wise laws and iu special -schools, teach " tEem correct principles of economy and r hippiucss and prosperity .as well as that I of the nation of which they now form r so important a part, depend upon I their keeping apart from the whites; that amalgamation isdcgrcdationaml ret- > regression, and seal its condemnation i by the most severe punishment for miaIf need be, divert seventy-five per r cent of the revenue received from the . ncgr. es. fur this special purpose, and wilh • wlm t philanthropy and chanty have ai- - ready contributed, the outiouk for the > negro's prosperity will tic bright enough, i But what of the whites ? Instead of i distributing the surplus in proportion to ' illiteracy, let it be in proportion to the . money raised by taxation for the tup. - port of public schools, to be applied to I the payment of salaries to teachers !d "j active service. The increase of salary 1 be desired than a prus|iecUve pension i at the expiration of a certain penod. In ■ the one case it is a certainty in the other < ' an uncertainty. Besides pensions have ' a tendency to go to those who have al- ' ready enjoyed liberal salaries, to the ex. • elusion of others who have worked aa ' hard, it not harder, in less exalted staA National Educational Bill should i establish minimum and maximum sala- , ' rics to which the surplus would be applicable. This would prevent its being , paid to the already favored ones, and at i the same lime secure weak scliool-dia- , ' trict teachers a -aiust a reduction of lo- i cal appropriations below the minimum , which would deprive the district of its i The government might further require ,

of surplus, to hold a National Teacher's Certificate and to teach certain specified branches adapted to the common schools. Government aid would stimulate districts lo increase their appropriations to entitle them to a liberal share. Increased salaries would encourage young men and young women to teach as a profeaslon. and education would assume a national character and importance hitherto unknown in tho history of our country.

The present year is the fifth year of modern times in which tbe aggregate of tbc figures is 25, and there will be but is possible prior to the year Probably but few have ever heard of the old prophecy, which runs as folWhen the sum olMKra It twenij-Ove. Bui peacelul naiions In peace will thrive. Students of modern history will readily recall how faithfully this prophecy been fulfilled In the four, previous year* to which it applied. In 1608 Huasia, Denmark and Poland formed the coalition against Sweden, which inaugurated tbe great war that ended in the disastrous defeat of Charles XII at Pultowa. Tho year 1780 will ever be memorable on account of the breaking out of the French revolution. Bcventcen hundred and ninety-eight witnessed the campaign of Bonaparte in and tbe formation of the second European coalition agalnat E ranee. In 1870 war broke out between Enand Afghanistan, followed by the invasion ot tbe latter country by British In what ntanner tho prediction is to verified in 1888 remaios yet to be seen, but the present condition of Europe seems to promise an abundant fulfillment of the prophecy.— Phtla.

HOUSEHOLD. Hint* on Cookho.— ' When we wixh i to extract juices from anything we put i it iu cold water and let it gradually f reach tho boiling point, so when wc t wish the viands to retain their juices f und u«o Uie water only aa a medium for c cooking them the opposite course must i bc*pursued. Starch t ntcrs largely into tbe compo9 s! ion ot many vegetables, and on the J prevalence of this element depends the » digestibility of the vegetable. To free 9 tlds clement and have it thoroughly incorporate Itself with the other elements > iu the vegetable a great omount of beat - is necessary, and hence it is that all veg1 e table* should be put'down to cook in Some authorities claim that even r though tho water is boiling it extracts li considerable of the starch, and therefore il the nutritive clement, and that steam is u the only agent that should be employed t in eooki <g many varieties, potatoes for n instance. There are so many opinions n against as for tills method, and while it i; undoubtedly seems probable, stm cqual- - ly good results have been obtained from i tbe older method. >- Those who are," accustomed to have the potatoes peeled before boiled think r they have a peculiar taste if they arc e boiled in tbeir skins. Of course It is all li Ibe effect of Imagination, but noamount i- of talking will convince them of that c fact, so it the potates have to be peeled - sec that quite skin is taken off, because f there is a very bitter acid lodged in cells 3 quite near the skin, and you must get c rid of as much of this as possible. The >- water, of course, draws most of this out. 3 but it is not as effective as tho absorbent 3 nature has provided. I Soft water should be used in cooking i vegetables, and the only way city folks i can soften water is to add a little salt to i It Six or eight potatoes will ncedatear spoonful of salt addod to water; turnips 9 and parsnips require about the same — - that is, a leaspoonfnl of salt to a quart . of water. If any scam should happen a to rise to the surface when the vegeta- - bles are boiling it must be carefully skimmed off — Brooklyn Citiien. I Potato Salad.— Rub a dish with a - "ballot, arrange upon it cold boiled pota- ■ iocs cut in slices; beat together 8 parts of oil and one part, more or leas, accord- ; ing to the strength of it, tarragon vine- • gar, with pepper and salt to taste. Pour ■ this over the potatoes, and strew over i all a small quantity of any of the followi ing ; Powdered sweet herbs, parsley, chervil, Spanish onions, boiled beets, ' capers, or a combination of them all, capers, or a comoinauon oi uieai ail,

Make this into a roll, ' cover It loosely with a well-buttered ' cloth and bake half un hour. Put a Ut- ■ l tic water in the dish in which ypu bake it. When cold cut it in thin slices. This makes a very good breakfast or tea dish. , Chemists say that potatoes should al- * ways be boiled In their jackets, as there - are various elements detrimental to the wholesomcnesa of the vegetable that are absorbed by the skin, ana tbat potatoes that are peeled before boiling retain some of these elements.
