feat of daring on
that field—not of
reckless, useless
bravado, b u t s o—
ber, earnest work, under the spur of ex-
alted. soldierly courage—4s described in the
Gettysburg pages of The Century \Var
Book, by Capt. H. C. Parsons, First Ver-
mont Cavalry. who was one of the princi-
pals, as well as one of the victims, of the
afiair——Farnsworth’s cavalry charge.
Surely men never rode against greater ob-
stacles and with so little hope of achieving
great results. It was at the close of the
third day of the battle, when Pickett’s
grand charge had been repulsed, and it
was on the scene of Sickles’ disaster of the
second day. .
The defeat of Sickles’ corps on the sec-
ond day had driven the Union line on .the
extreme left about three—quarters of a mile
from its original position, and on the third
day the Union and Confederate main lines
were parallel, north and south. the general
direction of Cemetery Ridge. On the ex-
treme Union left were the Round Tops,
and in front of them several Confederate
brigades. But the lines did not terminate
here. The Union cavalry had been active
on the first and second days, and had clung
to the valleys south of Gettysburg, the
road to Emmettsburg, and the wide plains
skirting the mountains. Stuart’s Confed-
erate cavalry was elsewhere, and played no
part in the events on the Emmettsburg
road.
On the third day a Union cavalry divi-
sion of two brigades, under Gen. Judson
Kilpatrick, held the ground south of the
Round Tops and extending westward across
the Emmettsburg road. This line formed
acomplete right angle with the main Union
and Confederate lines, and was about
one mile in length. Eight regiments of
cavalry composed Kilpatrick’s command.
and on the Confederate side the line was
held by skirmishers, with a detached regi-
ment or two at the front, and a couple of
batteries planted to sweep the approaches
from the south. All of the region covered
by the Confederates had been wrested
from Sickles by Longstreet on the pre-
vious day, and us the Union cavalry
men looked to the front they saw
the annoying spectacle of the enemy’s bat-
. tle flags waving defiantly where the Stars
and Stripes had floated proudly twenty
hours before. They saw, moreover, that
the Confederate force was weak on the
second line, for as the day passed Long-
street had been called upon to put in every
spare man for Pickett’s charge further up
the ridge. Kilpatrick’s orders on coming
to this position in the morning had been
to harass Longstreet’s exposed right flank
and bring on a battle if he could.
As things stood on the third day at Get—
tysburg, but two issues of battle were to
be expected—either that Lee would push
Longstreet against Cemetery Ridge, fol-
lowing up his success of the second day, or
that Meade would lunge out from the
ridge and attempt to dislodge Longstreet
.nd recover Emmettsburg road. Either
issue would carry the battle along Kil-
patrick’s frdnt, the Confederate rear would
.be exposed to the Union cavalry, and here
was the scene for a grand coup when the
hour should arrive for a diversion in favor
of the Union arms. Here Kilpatrick
awaited with more or less activit ' in
skirmishing until 5 o’clock p. In. hen
came the hush after the thunder of and
storm of Pickett’s charge. Several times
during the day isolated squadrons of caval-
ry had dashed through the Confederate
skirznishcrs, penetrated the lines and found
them weak.
If a stampede of Confederate pickets and
artillery could be started there the enemy
in front of the Hound Tops would be put
in danger, and if messed by Meadc’s infant
ry in front, could be driven across the val-
leys and plains to the bills. whence they a
had issued on the 2d to attack Sickles.
A soldier might suppose that the slightest
advantage on the Union side would be fol-
lowed by an immediate advance of infan t—
ry upon the Confederates at Devil’s Den
and the Round Tops. This would place
them between two fires if Ellyn-rick got
to work in the Confederate rear.
Between 5 and 6 o’clock, after Pickett’s
charge, Capt. Parsons says he heardan
orderly, riding from the main army, call
out to Kilpatrick that the charge had been
repulsed. Gen. Elon .T. Farris-worth, com—
manding a cavalry brigade, had here with
him the First ‘vVest Virginia and the First
Vermont regiments. T 6 First iVest Vir-
ginia charged upon the Confederate picket
reserve, and was repulsed after two at
tempts. The Secohd battalion of. the First
Vermont was on skirmish duty, and the
First and Third, numbering about 300,
were all that remained fora final effort. It
was to be directed to the Confederate lines
on the high ground opposite Big Round
Top, striking them in the rear.

A VOLLEY WASTE l).
’Wheu the order was, give by Kilpatrick
to Farnsworth the brave so dier, who 11.2.1
juSt been awarded a generaPs star for al—
lantry ‘put in a mainly and‘céspeclif'ul .30'
test. He had but a handful, the‘gi‘ouud
was rough, barred by fences find walls and
strewn, with bowldcrs, and the'enemy oc-
cupied every good position in f3rce. ’This
was briefly stated by FarnsivOrth, but Kil-
patrick answered iinpetuou-sly that if he
(Famsworth) refused to obey orders he
wOuld lead the charge himself. The reply
to that was as impetuously given. Ferns-
worth declaring that he would obey orders»
and go wherever his men went. The dis-
tance to be covered was 800 yards in a bee
line, but there was a. wooded hill to be
passed by a detour that would more than
double the distance.
Everywhere there were obstructions, in—
cluding an ever vigilant enemy. At the
.end of the ride there was a brigade of Con—
federates to be encountered on their own
ground. W’ar never called for more ex-
alted daring than this—to dash three-
quarters of a mile under fire into the en-
emy‘s lines, subject to surprise and am-
bush, and with 300 troopers battle with
3,0001nfantrymen on their own ground.
Farnsworth gave the order coolly to the
devoted men, of whom he had just re—
marked to‘ his chief that they were “too
goodto kill.” The battalions passed out in
separate lines, in order to pass around the
hill in front by 0 posite paths meeting on
the other side. 6 leader rode with the
Third battalion, which passed to the right
of the hill. The Second battalion had
a road and cleared fields to pass over,
but their movement was the more
exposed, and a Confederate regiment
in front of Big Round Top, the Fourth
Alabama, was faced about to meet them.
Taking a position on a hill the Alar
bamians found the Vermonters riding up
the slope, and in their haste to do some—
thing fired a. volley over the heads of the
horsemen, who were but a few paces away.
In making this movement the Fourth Ala-
bama had marched to the rear of its bri-
gade line about three hundred yards,_the
intervening space being awooded slope.
When the Second battalion of Vermonters
had passed the Alabamians they halted
and reformed at the base of a bill which it
was the object of the charge to carry, and
which if carried and held would take the
entire right of the Confederate line in re-
verse. Toward this point the First battal-
ion, led by Farnsworth, was now riding.
Their route led along a valley, on one
side of which, at the base of the bill,
was a. stone wall, and on the other side
several Confederate regiments. Far ahead,
and on a prolongation of the line of thestone
Wall, was the Fourth Alabama. Farns-
worth charged along the stone wall in the
face of the enemy, and under a sharp fire
at close quarters. The ground was cov-
ered with rock and obstructed with trees.
Pressing on toward Devil’s Den, Where an-
other-Confederate brigade awaited them,
the troopers divided into small parties, on
the principle of “save himself who can.”
They were now for within the enemy’s
lines, and troops all alo their pathway
had been amused by the id dash. Near
Devil’s Den they passed a Confederate bat
tery, and the supporting infantry gave
them a volley. Farnsworth’s horse fell,
and be mounted that of a trooper, and
with about a score or less of followers «‘16
turned on the back track.
'When he reached the bill near wherofi‘
Fourth Alabama and the First battalion
of Vermonters had met in encounter, the
latter were mounting the slope toward the
track taken by Farnsworth on going in,

and by which he was now returning. A
stone wall parallel with their course sep-
arated the two battalions, and across their
pathway was the Fifteenth Alabama, regi-
ment, another Confederate command, that
faced about and wheeled out of line to re-
sist the cavalry. \Vhen Fernsworth saw
what he had in his front, and caught
sight of the iconforcements given to
him by the First battalion, he lifted
his sword on high as he rode,
and by this silent yet magnetic
signal ordered a grand charge to cut the
way out. I t was the boldest and most des-
perate deed to be conceived of. There were
no more than fifty men in the two parties
Both battalions had lost heavily in the
ride, and detachments from each had gone
their own way to safety. The Fifteenth
Alabamapvas disputing their advance; the
Fourth Alabama was behind them, and
along their left, between them and their
friends on Big Round Top,were half adozen
Confederate commands ready in line. The
Vermonters rushed upon the Alabamiane
savagely. The latter held their fire and
called to the riders to surrender. The re
sponse would be a saber stroke followed
by an answering bullet. Capt. Parsons,
whose story of this fight is the fullest ac
count ever print , was shot from his
horse, with the rifle muzzle held at his
breast and while he was tryingtosabex
the man who held it.
Fhrnsworth kept the lead in this bloody
race with fate, and with half a dozen men
was hewing his way toward the Union
lines when he fell exhausted from the loss
of blood from five wounds. With the ruling
passion raging high, and his saber raised as
if to cleave some foeuian’s skull, he fell and
lay outstretched—dead when he struck the
earth. All of his wounds were mortal, and
thus he was five times slain before nature
yielded up the hero’s life. Capt. Cushman,
of the First Vermont, fell with Ferns-
worth, but his wound was in the face, and
he fought on, like a hound, with his revol-
ver until he fainted. Desperation seemed
to have seized upon every man in the
charge. Privates.followed the leaders at
every turn, shouting, “I am with you."
The casualties "in the charging column
numbered sixty-five. One hundred Con-
federate prisoners were taken from arming
those who attempted to stop the horsemen
at the outposts on the return.
The charge was a success, so far as the
carrying out of orders was concerned. It
created a diver-slim in favor of a counter
charge by Meade from Cemetery Ridge
afteflzmckett’s failure. It threw the en-
emyon Lee’s right into confusion, drew
regiments out of line‘ there, thus weaken
ing the: opposition to the {Jul/on troops on

Under Control.
The amount of control which may be ex-
ercised over those actions which we are
accustomed to look upon as wholly invol-
untary is neither appreciated nor devel-
oped as it should be. There was not only
a clever stroke against an annoyance, but
a useful lesson in the means taken bya
clergyman notiong since to suppress dis—
turbance in his congregation. .
It was during the prevalence of the in-
fluenza that the Rev. Dr. Blank‘ gave his
congregation areminder that will not soon
be forgotten. The various forms under
which the epidemic presented itself had in
common the faculty of making people
cough in church, and the disturbance
which arose. from this source set-all the
sensitive nerves of the divine on edge.
One Sunday morning in particular it
seemed as if half the people in the congre-
gation were coughing already, while the
others were rapidly joining in with them
from the sheer force of example.
Dr. Blank was preaching eloquently that
morning, and partly with the interest in
his subject, partly from the necessity of
raising his voice to make himself heard, he
was particularly impressive. Suddenly,
with no warning whatever, he stopped in
the very midst of a sentence and stood per-
fectly silent. Surprise held the congrego.
tion silent also.
It is well kmfin to physicians that per
sons taken by surprise will stop coughing,
and. during the moment for which Dr.
Blank stood regarding his congregation
not a singlecough was heard in the church.
The preacher held the attention of the
audience for a space which, although really
brief, under the circumstances seemed
long.
“I paused to remind you,” he said at
length, “that coughing is more largely on-
dera rson’s control than we are accus-
tom to suppose.”
He took up the thread of his discourse
and went on, but' for the rest of that day
at least there was remarkably little fur-
ther coughing in that church.--Youth’s
Companion.
Sunken Cities.
Mostoountries of the east which border
on seas or oceans, or which have large
lakes or seas within their limits, have
names and a fixed location for fabulous
cities. In Germany the city is called
Vinctu, and it is said to be in the vicinity
of the island of Eugen. W'erncr’s novel of
the same name is based on this old German
superstition. Max Muller’s father wrotea
|beautiful little poem with Vineta as its
theme, the following being the _ most ex-
quisite of its many stanzas:
Hark! the faint bells of the sunken city
Peal once more their wontcd evening chimes;
loom the deep abs-sons floats a ditty,
Wild and wondrous of the olden times.
The Italians point out seven different
bays and harbors which they tell you were
once occupied by populous cities, over
which the waves now roll to the depth of
several fathoms. Is, the sunken city of
Brittany, seems to be quite a nomad, va-
rious places along the coast being pointed
out as its former site: however, it is always
given the same name, no matter where lo-
cated. The bulk of authorities fix on the
Bay of Douarnencz as being the body of
water at present rolling over the legendary
city. Huge stones and other relics recent-
1 y found by divers working in the bay
make it at least probable that some large
GalloRomaic city once stood there on land
now covered by the sea.
Lough Neagh, the traditional Irish foun-
tain, not only buried a city, but a whole
district and many cities under its waters
by a phenomenal outbreak, which oc-
curred some. time during the pro-historic
or semi-prehistoric period—St. Louis Re-
public.
Thcory of Ice Caves.
The latest accepted theory of the forma-
tion of ice in ice caves is that the tempera
ture of these caves must be at or below the
freezing point; that there must be no very
pronounced currents of air; that the en—
trance must be from above (otherwise the
warm air would enter and hinder ice for-
mations), and lastly that the percolation of
the water must be very slow. As proof of
the above theory we cannot do better than
to refer to a well known example. Near
Trout lake, Klikatat mu nty, W'ushington,
is a wonderful example of the genuine ice
cave, a cave where stalactite shaped icicles
are found thromghout the year, not varying
the least in size with the seasons.
A shaftlike hole fifteen feet in diameter
supplies a means of ingress. As soon as
the bottom of the rustic ladder is reached
the explorer finds himself in darkness,
mlners’ lamps or torches being necessary
to exploration, the sheen from the icicles
reminding one of descriptions of fairy pal—
aces in crystals. There are many great
chambers in the Trout Lake cave, each
partitioned off in walls of ice, with floors
of solid ice, the dome and pillars being of
the same. frigid material. The cave is so
cold as to be very uncomfortable. the re-
turn to the surface being accomplished
With the sensation of going into a furnace.

The Use of n. Toothpick.
Toothpicks, of course, are positively nec—
essary, but can you tell why some people
supposed to be well bred are so utterly lost
to decency in the use of them? If any one
stops long enough to consider he must
understand at once that to use a toothpick
under any circumstances is more or less
disgusting. It can never be otherwise.
While the use of them as an adjunct to
Deafness is recognized, phe toothpick should
never serve its purpose publicly, or if it is
unavoidable it should be used as unostenta-
tiously as possible. .
It is bad enough to see a man use a tooth-
pick indiscriminately'and unreservedly,
without regard for the sensitiveness of
others (and please don’t think the act is
made el ant - and refined by raising the
napkin to he face to shield the mouth dur-
ing the process. That is worse yet, and
plainly says, “I am pickipg my teeth
now”), but it is infinitely worse to see a
woman use one publicly. I heard algentle-
man say not long ago that there was no
place in the gountry where women used
toothpicks as publicly as in Chicago. It is
certainly to be hoped that other cities are
no worse—Chicago Herald. ,
A Pilot’s‘flife.
The life of a pilot is filled with delightful
uncertainties. He is like a sealed bottle
tossed on the waves of thencean. He may
beagicked up in a day, and he may be car-
ri over the sea for more than a weekbe
fore some passing steamer comes to “rescue
him.” A pilot boat left New York pro
pared for a two weeks’ cruise. W'itbin ten
hours from thciime she‘left the has} she
was back at Staten Island? all her pilots
having been taken off by incomingste’am-
ers. Shepuq to sea again and started up

portfand she _rea"¢'hed there eleven days
after" ier second start, having cruiSed all
