In reviewing the history of the civil war,
the reader is rather surprised'to find how-lit-' I
tle account is made of the cavalry operations
of the northern army. This is especially
true of the cavalry of the east. A history
has been written of the work of the western
cavalry, but the full story of the horsemen
of the Army of the Potomac, from the be-
ginning of the war, has yet to be penned.
It was different with the southern army.
In overhauling their records, on 'inds that
the fullest tribute is paid to the cavalry oili-
cers and men. Their dauntlessness and hard
riding, their many exploits are fully de-
scribed and commented on in glowing colors.
The southeruers were natural horsemen. It
sometimes happens that the fullest account
of a cavalry fight isobtained from southern
histories ’
Of cavalry anecdotes, amusing and other-
wise, a good store has been handed down
from Confederate sources. The following,
says a newspaper of the time, was a certain
southern colonel’s order for mounting:
“grepare fur to git onto your creeturs."
“ it."
In the summer of 1863 there was constant
fighting between the cavalry of the two great
armies of the east. J. E. B. Stuart was the
commander of the southern horse, "Gen.
Alfred Pleasonton of that of the Army of
the Potomac. In June and July there were
fifteen diflerent cavalry fights in sixteen
days. These were aside from the battles of
Beverly Ford, Aldie, Middleburg and
Upperville. The engagement at Aldie was
what old military omcers would call a “very
pretty fight.”
Early in June, 1863, after the battle. of
Chancellorsville, Lee prepared to invade
Pennsylvania. The different corps of his
army were to rendezvous at Culpepper, Va,
thence start north. He endeavored to re-
move them one or two divisions at a time, so
as to elude the eye of Gen. Hooker, In camp
opposite him on the Rappahannock.

Pleasenton with
the cavalry, to ride
GEN. rmsonron. in the direction of
Culpepper and find out at any cost-what Lee
was about.
During the night of June 8, Pleasanton’s
cavalry, three divisions, with two brigades
of infantry, rode silently to Beverly Ford
and Kelly’s Ford, on the Rappahannock,
Beady to cross to the west side of it at day—
reek.
Meantime, quite unknown to each other,
both the Union and Confederate cavalry
leaders, Pleasenton and J. E. B. Stuart, had
made movements toward each other, each
on his own side of the Rappahannock.
While Pleasonton was on the east side of
Beverly Ford, Stuart was not far away from
it on the west side.
J. E. B. Stuart was one of the most popular
of the southern leaders. At the beginning of
the war he was only 30 years old, having
been graduated from West Point not long be
fore. Hewas anativo of Virginia, and was
allied to the old Scotch royal house of Stuart.
Besides his soldierly qualities he was a great
social favorite. When in camp, and his men
were resting from some of their numerous
raids, Gen. Stuart would take with him his
colored banjo player and start out at night
to ‘visit Confederate families living any-
where within a dozen miles of his headquar-
ters, for an evening of festivity.
Then, after a gay dance, the young gen-
eral would return to his tent toward morn-
ing for a few hours’ « ‘
sleep. At daybreak
he was up and
away again, over-
flowing with health
and animal spirits.
He seemed superior
to fatigue.
J. E. B. Stuart
was killed in‘. May,
1864, in an engage-
ment fought with
Custer at
Yellow Tavern, not
far from Rich-
mond, Va.
The unexpected _
meeting of Stuart and Pleasonton, June 9,
1863, brought on the battle of
J. E. B. STUART.
BRANDY STATION.
Stuart’s force, some 10,000, was chiefly con-
centrated at Brandy Station, not far from
Beverly Ford. Between thesetwo named
points the fighting began, at achurch, St.
James’. The conflict at first was between
Stuart’s whole force and Pleasouton’s first
division, commanded by Gen.
There was fighting of, some hours, and
Buford fell back, because his rear had been
attacked by Stuart.
Then Gen. Gregg, commanding the second
division, in turn withstood the onset of
Stuart’s force. The Federal divisions con-
tained each about 3,000 men, and the first
and second fought Stuart singly. Pleason-
ton’s third division, under Gen. Dufiie, did
not reach Brandy Station till ‘the afternoon.
With charge and counter charge of cavalry,
the two forces fought several hours.‘ Then
the Confederate infantry was seen approach-
ing, and Pleasanton ordered a retreat to the
eastside of the Rappahannock again. That
was the end of the battle of Brandy Station.
Each side claimed the victory. Stuart cap-
tured three guns and a number of prisoners.
Pleasonton claims to have impeded and crip-
pled the Confederate cavalry so much as
to change Lee’s whole line of march on
his invasion of the north. Being prac-
tically unsupported bv infantry, Pleasanton
was obliged to retreat at the coming of the .
Confederate infantry.
Lee’s first intention had been to invade
Pennsylvania and the north by following the
route east of the Blue Ridgs mountains, on
the side next Washington, s 'irtin along the
foot Of the mountains, and holdin in cavalry
upon his eastern flank to protect 'm.
After the fight at Brandy Stationvhe aban-
doned this line of march and took the west-
erly and more roundabout one between the
Blue Ridge and a s ur of the Allegheny
mountains, down the henandoah valley.
And now once more the hapless Shenan-
doah valley became the scene of a military
race.
BATTLE OF WINCHESTER.
Therewas an obstaclcto the advance of
Lee down the Shenandoah valley. That was
the presence Of the Union general, R. H.
Milroy, at Winchester, Va, with 10,000 men.
Soon after the battle of Brandy Station,
Lee’s left wing, under Ewell, SW north—
ward, entered the Shenandoah valley, and
suddenly appeared before Milroy, at Win-
chester,-Juue 13. In three days Ewell’s men
had marched from Culpepper,seventy miles.
Sunday, June 14, Milroy was attacked by
Early’s Confederate division. The firing and
fighting continued till darkness. During the
night the Confederate forces were distributed
east, north and south, to cut off all escape
from MiII'oy.
The Union - general’s ammunition was
nearly exhausted, and at 1 o’clock .in the
morning of June
15, he made a des-
perate attempt to
escape northward,
by the Martins-
burg road.
Too late, he
found the Con-
federates formed
in line of battle
acrom his way.
Milroy’s advance,
under Gen. Elliott,
. g, sought to cut its
, ' ‘7‘ way through the
'\ ‘- ‘, lines. It could not
' be done. Then
GEN. KILPATRICK. Milroy gave orders
to turn to the right. Part of the command
by mistake wenttothe left, the rest to the
right. Milroy’s horse was shot under him
here.
Then the divided columns endeavored to
escape as best the might. Milroy himself
got away, with a out half his command of
10,000. The rest, including many sick and
wounded, were captured and sent prisoners
to Richmond. Among the spoils of war were
eleven Union battle flags.
The road through the Shenandoah valley
was now clear for Lee’s army.

' 11110 17, “Fitz Lce ” as he was called, the
present governor of Virginia, was sent to
take possession of Aldie Gap, and hold it
with a brigade of Confederate cavalry.
Within easy supporting distance were two
other, Confederate cavalry brigades. '

ment—he cannot 0 Iain it—moved him to

Gregg’s division to find it occupied by Con-
federate 'ckets. He drove them back to
the main gody between 2 and 3 in the after-
noon of June 1'7.
On a hill west of the village of Aldie, Gen.
“Fitz” Lee was waiting for the Union cav-
alry. Near Aldie Ga were two roads lead-
ing to Ashby’s Gap an Snicker’s Gapin the
Blue Ridge. Both of these the Confederates
sought to guard. _
. Immediately the two armies met the battle
began. It began desperatel and fu-
riously until after dark. T e Conf eratea
had the advantage of position that was to be
derived from a ditch and a line of haystacks.
After a blood fight of three hours the Fed-
eral line w'as roken and driven back. Then
the day was saved to the Union cause by the
gallantry of Bri . Gen. Hugh Judson K11-
patrick. The nion line ,Wavered, etc
and fell back. Suddenly Kllpatrick put rm-
self in person at the head Of the First Maine
cav and ordered them to charge the
Conf crate line on the Ashby Gap road.
This the did brilliantly and succemfully.
The Co Vederates in turn fell back and K11-

men and forced to retreat. ' Next day, June
19. Pleasenton came on with all his force.
There was fightin again, and for several
days afterward. 0 result of these various
cavalry fights was that the Confederates
were driven out of Loudoun count , Va. _The
cavalry retreated back into the. 111613.1ng
mountains.
The possession of Aldie Gap and the Bull
Run mountains by the Union cav was a
very important advanta e to Gen. ooker.
It pressed Lee’s army to t c westward in his
invasion Of Pennsylvania and made hisroute
longer and more difficult, and insured the
safety of Washington in that direction.
During these cavalry fights east of the Blue
Ridge Gen. Kilpatrick especially dis-
tinguished himself. He was a native of New
J ersey; and was in the flower of his youth at
the outbreak of the war, having been grad-
uated from West Point in 1861; He was ap-
inted to the artillery arm of the service at
t, but soon found more congenial occupa-
tion for his gallant, dashing spirit in the
.cavah’i. He was promoted rapidly. At
Gettys urg he commanded a division. In
1865, at the age of 29, he was promoted to
major general of volunteers. The year after
the war closed he resigned from the revular
army. In 1375 he went as minister to 612m,
remaining there until 1879. In 1881 this gal-
lant officer and accomplished gentleman

in his half supernatural stories, of gen-

mesmerism as a machine have thought of
that power, but have always limited it to
its subject’s periods of unconsciousness,
and employed it for some comparatively
trifling end.

Story of a Picture.
A curious story is told about one of the
paintings by » the famous artist David,
which is included in a collection about to
be sold at Brussels, Belgium. It bears
the title of “Family Portraits,” yet only
one-figure is represented on the canvas,
that of an old lady seated in an arm chair.
The chair itself was of a later style than
the date of the painting. In spite of these
peculiarities M. Van Pruet, the late
owner, had purchased the work. He
then had it cleaned and carefully scraped,
in the course of which operation the
family “portraits” were successively
brought to light. It was afterward us-
certaiued that the old lady, who had sat
to David for her portrait, surrounded by
all the members of her family, had
gradually quarreled with them all in turn
and had had their portraits painted over
one by one, until she alone of the group
remained, sitting in that preposterous
looking chair of hem—Home Journal.
Problems to Be Solved.
.thu the mind bridges over the past
fifty years and contemplates the. char.
mous advance which has been made in
the practical application of science to
everyday wants, it seems surprising that
there should still be many absolute neces-
sities unfulfilled. Among these are a
miner’s real safety lamp, a perfectly safe
method Of blasting without risk of ex-
plosion, electric lighting economically pro-
duced from primary batteries, improved
methods of arresting decomposition in
animal substances, a perfect method of
insulating telegraph wires, etc. Doubt-
less, however, these and many more
startling scientific inventions are problems
which the near future will solve.-Ne'w
York Press.
The “heat" Business.
It Is about time for public opinion to
calla halt in the museum f‘freak" busi-
ness; the public display,“ so much a .
head, of wretched deformities of mis-
shapen creatures. It Is time to suppress
the posters that reproduce these mon-
stroslties in yet more aggravated distor-
tion, compelling unwilling eyes to rest
upon their hideousness at every street
corner. Every intelligent adult,an or
woman, knows that the sight Of a repul-
sive deformity can and does lead to the
gravest consequences,.and ltwill not be
necessary here to be more explicit—Pitts-
burg Bulletin.
A Nut tovCraek. -
The something called lightning will
melt a cold iron rod in a hundredth part
of a second. A hard razor. .will drop like
water in time quicker than thought. But
that heat is not in the lightning, but it is
”made at that point at which the lightning
meets an obstacle. Thus from the sun
some substance or potentiahty may go
forth which is a harmless traveler until
something retards it. This exile may
meet its first foe near the sun’s disk, and
enough of it may escape to go onward
and meotasccond obstacle in the envi-
ronment of planets—Professor Swing in
Chicago Journal.
Very Bad Manners.
It ought to be clear to any one who has
the most elementary knowledge of the
laws of etiquette that to disturb others
needlessly in the enjoyment of u. dearly
purchased pleasure is evidence of very bad
manners. Musical people suffer more
from such interruptions than persons
whose ears are not similarly refined can
imagine; for the true colors of u \Vuguer—
ian score are as exquisitely delicate and re-
fined as the evanescent films and colors of
a soap bubble, so that the mere rustling
of II. fan or a programme mars them.—
Henry T. Finck in The Cosmopolitan.
A New- Wagon Tire.
A recent English invent-ion Isa-corru-
gated rolled steel wagon tire, for use In
townswhere street cars are run. The 3
Object of the invention is to assist the
wheel to get out Of the train line and
thus avoid skidding of the wheels and
the wrenching of vehicles and horses.
The invention consists in what may per-
haps be described as a series of slapping
projections on each side of the felines of
the wheel—St. Louis Republican.
At the Lake's Bottom.
Bright green moss has been discovered
growing at the bottom of Lake Lemon, in'
Switzerland, attached to the calcareous
rocks 200 feet below the surface. Moss
has never been found at so great a depth
below the surface of the water, and it is
considered remarkable that chlorophyl,
- the green coloring matter of plants, could
have been so richly developed at so great a
distance from the light..—Globe~Democrat.
Largest Known Flower.
The largest known flower is the rafliesia,
an extraordinary parasite of the forest trees "
of Sumatra, which measures three feet in
diameter, weighs fifteen pounds and has
acalyx holding six quarts.» The odor is
that of,tainted meat. The plant consists
only of the flower, growing directly on
the stem of its host.—Arkansaw Traveler.

A Novel Costume.
A New York society woman had a ball
