were ordered to pack up, gsl breakfast
and be at division in adqunrtcrs ready to
march at. 3 a. m. Soon we were on the
road once more. \Ye marched eight
miles to Cullen‘s station and there lay
down in the broiling sun to await further
orders. After a while'we moved into a
grove in the shade and waited until
noon, when we received orders to fall in.
We marched a short distance, halted,
laid out. a camp and fixed up our tents.
Now we imagined our time of rest had
come for a certainty.

The. sun seemed to burn all before it.
We got our quarters arranged in very

cleaned up the camp, got out all of the
stones and scrubs; dug sinks and wells,
and had everything in shape so far as it
was possible to do so. Now there was
no doubt of our resting for a long time
unless General Lee should march right
into our camp. All appeared to be
happy. A: evening the boysvwere ly-
ing on the grass in the cool breeze, sing-
ing songs, and if any one had happened
into camp that. night they would have
thought it was a picnic party camped out
for the night, instead of a regiment of
genuine soldiers who had just passed
through one of the hardest campaigns
and battles thst_this country ever knew.
But the idea that we were to rest for s
few days made us all forget that we had
ever seen hardship. ,

any stock in that report. At 6 a. m. the
order was counter-maimed, and we were
ordered to pitch tents again. even nicer
than before. “he put up our tents, fixed
seats. bunks and shelves, and had
everything in shape as though we Were
sure of spending the summer there. A
picket was detailed and sent out for the
night. At 11 a. m. the bugle sounded to
strike tents and pack upngain. and at 12

it seemed as though we could not go fast

A Christmas Story.
Joseph Roux, a parish priest, novv lo-
cated at Saiubllilsire le Peyton, s large
market town of Comte, France, bu
published what he calls a Series of Hedi~
unions, in which the following beautiful
Christmas story occurs:

straw served for his pillow: s tattered

formless rags. formed his coverlet. Nev.
er in all my life had I encountered such
misery. Amid all these hideous sur-
roundings, the child beamed with resig-
nation and innocemw. Nothing was
white 7 save his face and the surphce of
the priest: everylhing else appeared
tawny or livid in xhstvhut. where the
timid light of the torch was overpowered
by palpable shadows. And I bent my
knee: then. rising I poured forth the
words of absolurion upon the gentle pa»

head. it was a Cow and an ass,'who
stretched out their necks lovmgly
towards the bed, to the barely covered
feet of him who had formerly led them
to pasture: and this sight suddenly made
me shiver, and the tears rose to my eyes
and, as Christmas virus at band, I

Diphtheria sud Kerosene.
The theory put forth by a Meriden
physician that diphtheria is the
of the use of kerosene oil as
an illuminating fluid, is not thought
tenable by the physicians of the New
York heahh dupartment. The Assistant
Sanitary Superintendent, Mr. Janes,vvho
has had charge of the department hospl
pitals for many years and has observed
hundreds of cases of diphtheria, said that
burning kerosene oil might cause sore~
ness of the throat in some cases, but he
did not believe that a genuine case of
diphtheria would result from the prac-
tice. In New York, where diphtherin
kills many children every yesr, the dis-
ease is not confined to families who use
only kerosene oil for light, but prevails
in dwellings where gas alone is burned
all rho year. In many cases. Dr. James
said, it is not possible to trace the disease
to any cause. Dr. J. B. Taylor, chief in-
spector of contagious diseasen said that
the prevslance of diphtheria 1n the city
had been caused less by filth and bad pu-
thsn by careless exposure. -“Dipbrhem"
