The Twonty~seventh German Brigade’s Bold Attack and Stubborn Resistance. Losing the ‘Leader, Von Francois. and Bepulscd, They Charge Again. [Copyright by American Press Association.) N this series of ar- ticles, illustrating the “Deeds of Dar— ' ing Men,” it is the ] purpose of the ed- itor to select in- stances from the whole world and from all w a r s , , wherever authen— ’ tic records are ;;I'.'- found, without re- . "' gard to nationali- ty or to the merits of the cause where the valor is dis- " - played. Some rare cases may be selected because they are fa- mous in history or because they an: inter- esting in comparison with less noted but equally daring deeds treated in these col- umns. Except for variety and for compar- ison one need not go aside from the record let, our civil war for instances of the most sublime courage and fortitude, and in that school my standard was formed. Leaving out personal experiences in actiqn 1 may ‘ say that I witnessed much of the hardest I fighting that took place between the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia, and the pages of history do not contain grander deeds than those per- formed under my eye by the unpretentious volunteers of America of 1861. Like many famous victories in battle, the assault on Spicheren Heights (Franco- Prussian war), which cost the Germans over 4,000 killed and wounded and a brigade commander killed, was an acci- dental collision, not part of a campaign plan. Fortunately it succeeded, or some ofliciai. heads would have gone off in consequence, for it was just ’about this time that King William put his emphatic disapproval upon that method of warfare. In answer tothe query from Von .Moltke, “Your majesty, what would you say of a general who would order an assault on such a height as that?” (pointing to a pre- cipitous elevation) the king said promptly, “I would cashier him at once.” When the French army marched. to the Rhenish frontier under the orders of Na- poleon III Frossard’s corps took position near the Saar, opposite the Lower Rhine province, the most exposed portion of Ger: man territory, and in front of the Ger- man position. On the 2d of August (1870) the German armies were put in motion, the first army, under Von Steinmetz, being directed toward the Saar with the inten- in'on of invading France. On this day also the French general, Frossard, accom- panied by the Prince Imperial, who was to receive his much talked of “baptism of fire” on this occasion, seized the region around the German garrison town of Saar- bruck, occupying it with a light force and holding his main strength established on Spicheren Heights,“’~' a little- over a mile from the town, and on French soil. The Seventh German corps had orders to be on sion, under .Gen.» _Kame'cke,‘: was to send over a strong advance guard and have out pickets toward the French lines. The corps commander intendrd to concentrate on the 6th and attack the French on the 7th. For some reason, hov'vever, Kamecke’s division was advancing independently, and at 12 o’clock on the 6th, when its com- mander received orders 'from his corps general to have his division move as far as the German side of the river only, he had already crossed and taken Saarbruck from the French“ and-fsient on cavalry toward Spicheren Heights. ‘ No doubt the zeal of, the German oflicers and men led them to hurry forward and precipitate a fight. Kamecke made dispositions to attack the heights. and sent word to his chief ask- ing for re-enforcements. His own force consisted of two brigades with cavalry and artillery attached, less than 20,000 men. The French corps on the heights probably numbered as many, but their elevated position, crowned with numerous batteries, gave an advantage equal to another army of the same size. It was a piece of daring for Kamecke to attack under the circum- stances, for he had no certainty of support and only an accident could bring it to him to .be-forgiven in a leader in the German army rashness is the chief. Fortunately another German army, the Second, was ate routes, and the sound of battle, more potent at times than formal designs and orders, was to call up aid to Kamecke-to save the day. The cavalry of this army, under the personal diredtion of its com- mander, Gen. Von Rhcinbaben, was reb~ onnoitering in the valley, and it was on the strength of their report that the French were believed to be retreating that Kamecke made his attack. ‘ " ~. hoii preaches rendered difficultby. numerous lakes and ponds and wooded. .‘elevations‘,, giving’th’e French a chancerto-obstruct their enemy’s move- ment.

An eye witness not engaged, but having a'good place for observation, says of the spectacle: “As a shell crashed through a company or the mitrailleuse opened a lane and strewed it with dead and wounded, the men flanking the open- ing closed in with a grim coolness ,which impressed me with the convictiOn that ‘men who could act so could not be beaten. When the foot of the hill was reached the pace quickeued and the formation broke. It was now like the forlorn hope of a be- sieging army storming a breach rashly re- ported practicable. Men scrambled up- ward and forward anyhow. The officers threw themselves from their horses and took to climbing on foot. “There were little protected lie-bys here and there, and under these shelters the men packedas you may have seen sheep huddle beforea high wind with a snow- J drift borne on it. Thither crept, too, the wounded out of the fire that spared them when wounded no more than when they had been hale fighting men. Then when the sound men had caught their, wind again, they would dash out and make an- other convulsive scramble upward, ever upward. 0n the brink (above). you might see the Frenchmen bending over the lip of the crest to get more purcl; ': is with their downward aim. A mitrailleuse was bal- anced on the edge by men clinging tothe ' wheels and theirrail, while its honeycomb like muzzle went down, pointing among the struggling Germans, its breech end high in the air. Kamecke had asked his men to do an impossibility. There are parts of the Spicheren, notably that part just on the left of the extreme bluff near- est Saarbruck, which are not to be sur- mounted, without scaling ladders. Von Francois’ men were brought to a stand- still. There was no alternative but to fall back.” Some distance in the rear of the brigade Kamecke’s artillery occupied a series of knolls where they were doing their best to aid the charging column by a fire rained upon the mountain. Behind these knolls The French fol- lowed down the declivity and out onto the plain, but a couple of Rheinbaben’s hussar regiments galloped through and around Francois’ gallant men and beat the ventur- some pursuers back to the hill and in their fury attempted to charge where the infan- try had failcdug’lyIad-ly they rode on, here .5, 4 UNDER run» cussr. _‘ _ and there" descryingtar -track-' that. looked practicable. The nextgdayade'adliussar and a dead horse were [faund-gin agravine» three-fourths of the-wayfto. the‘Icrest.‘ So far had they climbed in thfiil‘ Vflorons"ride. Meanwhile Francois’ men had reformed, and the .Ge'rm:in artillery strengthened its fire upon the hill. What remained of the companies that had fallen back and rallied went fox-Ward again, the French standing totheir trenches to receive them. Some of the Germans staggered up through the shot to the shelter of a rock supporting the plateau above, and not being able to go further remained there, within. a few feet of their foes, but out of reach. Francois himself was killed and also many other officers, but the brigade refused to give up, and so seeking'shelter wherever it ofiered the men fixed themselves to stay, alive or dead. Now was the decisive moment, and fortunatelyfor Kamecke, not his worded appeals for aid but the cannon thunder had borne to distant ears the tidings of battle. ' The general of the Eighth corps of the same army with Kamecke came dashing to the front with the Fortieth fusileers, and being superior in rank to Kamecke assumed command and put the regiment in support of Francois’ men on the slope. About this time a brigade of the Second army, under Doring, also attracted by the firing, reached the field and formed on the left of the Fortieth. With these re—enforce- ments the Twenty-seventh brigade went forward again, and three charges were madeto carry a wood at the left of the nose of the height where Francois had fought so gallantly but so vainly. An en- trance was made in the wood, and here the men held on stubbornly. The Fortieth Hohenzollerns were famous for storming, and after passing up the height and into the wood it became only a question of time and patience, for they were within a pace‘ of the French intrenchment. Awaiting their time, with one lunge the Fortieth regiment and Doriag’s brigade went for- ward, and by main force rather than by weapons'hurled the Frenchmen back. ' These in turn rallied and drove the 4 Germans back, and so the wood was won and lostand'won again many. times, Very soon some batteries belonging to the Third Germa'ncorps were taken up the hill with great difficulty, and then for once during the struggle of several hours the Germans ing-continued theEQiiiitil dark, the French» refusmgj ' “ ’- to acknowledge” defeat, "and at times in their mad haste firing upon their own men. By 9 o’clock all was over. The I .. result on other partsof the field, where the difficulties seemedless, had not been bet- ter than at the height.

Emancipation Day in 3 Famous Wager. ”The Game of “Nigger Up or Nigger I‘Down” as Played by Broker Henry Hurley on One Occasion Only. " “The oddest betting I ever heard of,” said one oil broker to another in the Hoff- man house, “was between Henry Harley, who first conceived the idea of a tide- water pipe line from the oil regions, and the oil operators who used to make their headquarters early in the seventies in Har- ley’s offices. The gambling spirit per- vaded the whole business, since the drill- ing of a single wildcat well cost from 810,— 900 to $12,000, and I have known men who drilled away $150,000 in the vain effort to strike a new oil field. If in their odd hours the oil operators gambled not only in oil, but in anything or on anything that caught their fancy, it is not to be won- dered at. “The Phillips brothers and Mr. Vander- grift were among the well known oil men at the time when the up town rendezvous nf petroleum speculators used to be in Har- ley’s offices, where the Brunswick cafe now is, on the corner of Twenty-seventh street . and Fifth axenne.” ’ “What was the bet?” “Harley had consistently refused to take any part in these ‘side speculations’ of the oil brokers, as he called them. He was ‘all business.’ If anybody wanted to bet him on the rise or fall in the price of 100,000 barrels of oil Harley was right there. But he didn’t care to wager $50 on the fly that would first reach a lump of sugar on a cafe table, or the sex or color of the first passer- by on the avenue. These and other such speculative diversions whiled away the idle hours of the gang, however. HOW THE GAME was PLAYED. ' “In 1882-3, at the height of petroleum excitement in New York, a single operator would buy or sell in a morning 1,000,000 barrels of oil. That oil~ might have a market, value as great as $1.25 a barrel—it went that high—or it might range down as low as 60 cents a barrel, as it did after the failure of the Metropolitan bank put a pe- riod to the oil craze in this town. When a man bet on the price, however, of only 100,000 barrels of oil a fluctuation of a few cents would cost him, or the man he bet with, anywhere from $5,000 to $0,000 at a crack. Henry Harley and his Brunswick crowd used to get together about 10 in the morning, and Henry often opened the ball by offering to buy or sell 500,000 bar- rels of oil at a given figure at a certain hour that day. He might gain or lose as much as $100310 on one of these offers, and that sort of gambling seemed to satisfy him. He fought shy of side issues. But not so the gang. ' “ ‘Nigger up or nigger down’ the avenue was their favorite gambling game. It was their own, invention. Two of them would sit at a side window and the other three at a window fronting on Fifth avenue. The two at the side would bet » each other 810, $20. $50 or $100 a clip, as they felt inclined, that the first colored person passing would go up ' or' down the 'avenue. The three in front would be judges and referee. Day after dayand week after week the gang taxed their ingenuity to get Harley into their game- He was a blonde', medium sized and ratherlathletic young man, and his vivacious spirits found vent in business, and business-only. He wouldn’t come into the gene, and that was the end of it- an oil man also—had lest 815,!”0 to Weston gotto’the emce.“ Phillips felt a little sharp set,..and he bet Weston $500 more that he would get Harley into the ‘nigger up or nigger down’ game before night. Weston took the wager. ‘ now me BET WAS MADE. “On his way down town Harley, who was a pretty close observer, had read in his morning paper that the colored people of New York were going to celebrate Emanci- pation day that day by a grand parade, which would form in Union square and march to Central park. He attached no particular importance at the time to the announcement, but when he got to his of- fice and Phillips began badgering him to bet ‘nigger up, nigger down,’ at $20 a head his eyes flashed, and to the astonish- ment of all the oil men within hearing, and the gang in particular, he broke out with! “ ‘l’ve stood this thing long enough now, and I’m tired of it. I’ll bet you an even hundred each that more negroes go up than down today.’ “So the judges and the referee went to their windows and Barley went about his business as if nothing out of the way had happened or could‘happen. ‘ “By 11 o’clock 870 colored people—men, women and children—had gone down Fifth avenue in plain sight of the judges, and not a single one had gone up. Phillips naturally felt a little ‘sot up’ since he was $87,000 to the good, and he ordered in a basket of wine. Harley kept up an imper- turbable front. He was secretly aston- ished, inasmuch as matters had gone just the opposite of what he believed he had a right to expect they would go. But he' hadn’t saida word about any Emancipa—' tion day parade, and didn’t. propose to. He pretended to be too busy to be chaired even, and went out to lunch with a cus- tomer; "It didn’t occur tohim that the 870 colored people were going down to where the-parade was to form. “At 1 o’clockhe returned.

The treatment of other physicians, celebrated for curing catarrh was procured, and so on till these incomparable cures now include diseases; of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness, rheumatism and nervous debility. This new method of “one remedy for one disease” must appeal to the common sense of all sufferers, many of whom have experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly 2' realize the absurdity of the claims. of Pat- ‘ cut Medicines which are guaranteed to cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the use oi‘which, as statistics prove, has ruin ed more stomachs than alcohol.

The generality of people labor under the delusion that doctors’ fees, especially in New York city, are very extravagant. This is a mistake. The general physician aver- age: from $2 to $5 a visit, according to the = mean; of the patient. The office consulta— tion of a specialist or consultant isfrom $10 to $25 for the first visit, and less for suc- ceeding ones. The fee for a consultation visit is regulated by the reputation of the physician and the pecuniarycondition of the patient. Visits out of town range from $10 to $25 an hour, besides traveling ex- penses and a regular consulting fee. Surgical operations are rated by charac- ter, time and skill, and often run into the thousands. Of course night calls are consultation or otherwise. There are many experts and famous physicians who can ask any price they please and get it, but these are the exceptions. The average doctor is content with the regular fee, and many struggling young men are glad to get $1 from all for whom they prescribe, whether in the office or at their homes.— New York Ledger.
