Courage and Self-Possesion of a Confeder- ate Corporal. General James H. Walker, who com. manded the Stonewall Jackson Brigade after the death of General J acksdn, and who is now a member of the house from Virginia, talked to a Washington Star reporter of incidents of the war, said :— One of the bravest men in‘the war was Corporal Cheshire, of the Thirteenth Virginia Infantry. He was a. mere boy when made one of the color corporals for meritorious conduct, but frequently spoke of his ambition tobe promoted to color sergeant of the regiment. As the regiment was going into action on the 27th of June, 1862, the color bearer was shot down. Corporal Cheshire, throw- ing away his musket, grasped the fall- ing colors, and refused to yield them to any one saying the colonel had promised them to him in the event of a. vacancy. In the midst of the hottest fire of the most bitterly contested field of the war, when men on both sides were taking shelter behind trees or lying flat on the ground, the colonel passed along the line and found the brave color bearer standing erect a. little in front of the line in the open space, holding the col- ors aloft, a conspicuous mark for the enemy’s bullets. The colonel touched the boy and pointed to a tree near by. which would have sheltered him. The officer p: sad on, but in a few minutes re.u1'iie.l to find the poor corporal dead, shot through the heart. He had fallen forward on the colors he so prized and loved, and the hunting was dripping and heavy with the blood of the young hero who disdained to take shelter from the storm of shot and ”shell, even when directed to do so by the colonel. His body was lifted from the colors. which were given ,to another, and the color bearer was buried on the field, in annu- known grave. The flag he carried was riddled with bullets and three bullets had gone through the flagstafi'. The cool courage and self— possession exhibi- ted by Corporal Cheshire was never ex- celled.” The Burning ofthe Capitol. Senator Hewley thinks that the fact of history do not altogether prove the contention that the United States can be defended instantly and without previous preparation should war trouble arise. On the 48th anniversary of the burning of the Capitol by the British. and while the Naval appropriation bill was un- der discussion he thought it worth while to tell the story of that event. with the lesson which the incident 1m- pressed upon his mind. Eighty four years ago to day,” said he, "a British Admiral and a British General took seats in the House of Rep- resentatives and put to a vote before a ,mob of British soldiers the question whether this harbor of Yankee democra- cy should be burned. The Capitol, the Navy Yard, the Treasury, the White House, the rope walk, all the prominent offices of the Government and many private residences were burned. The ‘hearts of the people,’ that was to de— fend this country, ran through this town, as ordered by the- General com- manding, before firing a. single shot, to the surburbs of the city, retreating through Washington and Georgetown. The best-ithat Gen. Winder, in com- mand of the forces, could do was to sug- gest that they should fill the windows. of the Capitol with riflemen, but he got scaied befo1e the firing and ordered a retreat. “Just whole the President spent that day hist01y does not tell us, but at night his wife, who, almost alone of the people in Washington, gained real glory on that day, met him on the shore of the river, where a boat was ready, and went over . to Virginia. There they found a 1efuge in some common hotel; They abandoned that and hid in the woods. Is it possible for imagination to conceive a deeper national degrada— tion?” , Hewley pointed the moral to his nar- rative by remarking that until two or three days before Admiral Cockburn ar- rived the members of the Cabinet; gave assurances that there was no danger of war, and the 6,000 troops in the city were not ordered out until the enemy appeared. The Senator condemned the action of the authorities at that time as “idiotic management.” and suggested that it was always .wise to be ready for an emergency.—\Vashington Post. A Kansas Church of Sod. The Methodists of German township. Smith County, worship in a. sod church. As its name indicates, the walls are built of sod taken from the prairie which surrounds it. The neighbors. regardless of denominational belief, met, decided there ought to be a church in the neighborhood, and with their own hands laid up the walls, and from .their own pockets took the money to finish, furnish, and light the building. ,The building is 20 by 30 feet, and the walls are 8 feet high. It is covered with boards and roofing paper; the in- terior supports are made of neatly . smoothed posts, and the inside walls are plastered as neatly as any walls could be; comfortable homemade seats are furnished for pews; the pulpit is covered with velvet, and the platform is carpeted. It; is said that when one is on the inside everything is as neat and tidy as the finest church could be; when the .building was dedicated there was not a dollar of indebtedness upon the church or any of the furniture or fix- tures. p ” We Owe Help. .
