Lee made the supreme effort of the military life, in a desperate attempt to break the center of the Union Army by hurling 18,000 of his choicest troops, in a solid column against a single point in union line. The blow fell upon the grand old second corps of the army of the Potomac, and as all the world knows, was magnificently repulsed.

He saw it, and his heart beat high. Yet even in that moment pride must come between them. He stooped for the treasure at his feet. “Alexia,” he said, gravely, “if I take these it must be only to give them back to youagain. Shall it be so my darling?” The once familiar pet neme fell slowly and hesitatingly from his lips But still she heard it. She came a step nearer. The tears fell faster now, and the white hand which she held out to him trembled like a tleaf. “My husband!” “Oh, my wife! my wife!” And, holding her to his long wid- owen heart, the strong and stately man laid his proud head upon the woman's shoulder and wept. The next day saw their second bridal. No enemy can ever come be- tween more. They are bound too flrmly to each other now ever to be seperated except by the cruel hand of death. Piles! Piles!

Dr. Swayne & Son, Philadelphia. 32.yr Confederates in story and song. Union soldiers have always been outspoken in expressing their ad- miration of the bravery and disci- pline of the assaulting column on that occasion. But Union soldiers who witnessed it have always beer amazed to see whatever of glory there was won by the assailants, usurped by or credited to only one of the three divisions engaged. It is constantly spoken of as ‘Picketts Charge” and the “charge of Pick- ets division.” Vettigrew’s division and Heath’s division, as well as Scale’s and Wilcox’s flanking brig- ades are entirely ignored. Pickett’s division was composed of Virginians, while Pettigrew’s division was most- ly of North Carolinians and Ala- Confederate history dur- bamians. iug the war, was largely made at Richmond, and the Virginiaus claim- ed everything. From a standpoint of the Union soldiers at Gettysburg the three divisions and the two flanking brigades which made the Closing Em Up. Kansas City, Kan., saloonkeepers, who have been somewhat skeptical as to the action of J. C. Fife, the new Wyandotte county attorney, begin to see the hand-writing onthe wall and are accepting the inevita- ble with as good grace as possible and are closing up their disreputa- ble joints. A number of them are being helped njthe closing up pro- cess by the strong hand and arm of the law. Last night about 12 o'clock Deputy Sheriff Worthington, and Policeman Meluney raided eight of the worst dives in western Armourdale, placed their proprie- tors under arrest and lodged them in the county jail. The parties ar- rested are R. R. Dunbar and son George; Tobias Hogan and sons Edward and William; Joe Gettry and notorious “Liz” Gettry, his equal brayery and dash; the ouly difference being that Pickett’s aivis- ion went utterly to pieces and be- came a total wreck in ter:ible crash, while Pettigrew’s and Heath's di- vision, managed to get away with- out losing their coherence as organ- izations. If there was any distine- tion in this, it did not show Pick- ett’s division to be superior to the other two in either bravery or disci- pline.
