THE VALLEY OF DEATH. Herces Who Met the Shock of| Beauregard’s Battalions at Shiloh. The wan who tells you that with-| out Buell Grant would have lost at Shiloh did not see the last grand grapple on Sunday night. It was while waiting this final struggle I saw the grandest sight, save one, that I bad ever witnessed during the war. We are placed head downwards on a hillside, with a battery or more of guns at its top. Weare facing the west. Looking out through the openings, the sunshine falls bright and clear on everything. Looking to the right and left we see battalions forming and artillery going into po sition. A lull in the crash and roar of battle; its stillness is oppressive. Look away out yonder—see the flashing and gleaming sunshine on the polished steel in front and on the flanks—it is the coming of the enemy. In close columns by divi sions, and its army moving en eche lon. See how distinct every rifle barrel bayonet and saber, like the gleam of silver and the shimmer of brass. In the very frontis a regi ment of zouaves. A grander sight no man ever saw than this coming of the confederate army. We see theswinging motion noticeable when great bodies of men move together. Thus comes this Luman battering ram, with artillery trailing in its ranks, preseuting the appearance of a huge monster clothed in the rolls of flashing steel. On comes the en emy in its grand, full pride, sure of crushing the broken, beaten army of the Tennessee, in perfect step with armsat right shoulder shift, seeming zonscious of its might. With blare +f band and bugle the line advances we see it coming and wonder if some ane will raise the white flag. I load my,gun and lie flat on the ground head downward; with teeth tightly closed I await what seems our defeat. Behind the front line comes another and still another. The woods are alive with them. On they come; soon their lines begin to unfold and develop;these movements are executed with exact step and with arms still at right shoulder shift. T live an age in a sure moment. We are startled by a cannon shot above us—a signal for more. Itis answer ed by a blinding flash—a mighty roar. The earth trembles; something strikes me; a darkness falls about me; smoke and leaves and twigs and gravel fill the air;I start up afrighted wondering if the heavens and earth are coming together. Itis the ‘good evening’ of Webster's great guns above us to the bold, defiant confed erate host. Artillery along the line opens and the final struggle has be gun. No white flag there! Our cannon eers are planting their sharpnel where it will do the most harm, and it falls amid the crowded mass of the enemy as true as if ithad been car ried by hand. The smoke before us lifts and we see beneath it the lines of the enemy with great gaps torn in them, closing up and still ad vancing. We open upon them a hne fire the guns behind us are throwing case shot, the roar deafens and the smoke blinds fora time. Again it lifts and we see the gray line stag- gering under the awful fire it faces ‘The gunboats take up the fight and on comes that determined line until until only a corporal’s guard remain. We look again. It has vanished— gone! Another pushes on to disap- pear like the first. Our line is a blaze of fire—it is a volcano. It hurles defiance with its shot at the proud, splendid bravery for the ene my, who die but refuse to retreat. The fight becomes fiendish; the enemy consecrates its fireand brings into action every available man and gan. Arms are no longer at right shoulders*but are being used by ex-| perienced men. The stubborn re- sistance of the seemingly beaten federal army is a surprise to the legions of Beauregard who can neith- er crush nor dislodge the blue. The gray line trembles almost as it halts, wavers for a moment and then sud- denly falls back, the few are left fir- ing as they go until the supporting full of action it becomes, at the repulse and burning toavenge the fallen comrades’ The fiery sons of the south again in perfect |form ready to hurl themselves with | are their angry impetuosity aga jtired but undaunted foe. |moment the gray line is For a a mighty yell and sweep across the, bloody space separating the blue/ Following the yell comes a storm of leaden hail in faces It isa battle of the A wild cheer from our line is hurl ed back at them and shot answeres/ shot. sant. from the gray. our deafening, and the earth trembles the dall soldier boy rises into the granduer and glory of a Homeric thought of the white flag or defeat, full of a desire to meet and destrvy the coming enemy. All individuality is lost in this wild dance of death The gray line again halts, trembles and is gone followed by a wild cheer that bursts from the heroic line in biue, telling in its own glad way that they are victors on this the bloody field. You may point to the skulkers that line the river bauk, with a flip pant expression of disdain. swer by pointing to the heroes who met the shock of Beauregard’s bat- talions on that Sunday night and rolled them back in bloody rout and I an Los Angeles, Cal., March 15.— Frank Crittenden, of Missouri, aged 27, and nephew of ex Governor Crit tenden, now Consul General to Mex ico, was killed yesterday on the ranch of Mrs. Lewis at Duarte, where he was employed as a farm hand.

Geelan, postmaster at Big Springs, in the west part of this county, was shot and instantly killed about 10 o'clock this morning. The shooting was done by Fred Hill,who entered the office with a rifle in ha-d and on seeing Geelan at once fired, striking the latter in the head. The} shooting was the result of bitter feelings between the men because Geeland had held the postoftice four years and did not get out and allow a successor to be named. Geelan is an old resident of the county and Hill is one of the best families in the neighborhood in which he lives. noon and gave himself up, and is now in jail. It is a fact that the greater intel- lects come from the country, and so palpable is this that it cannot be said to be accidental, and reasons for it are not far to find: First, country life conduces to a higher and better physical manhood than city life. In bodily strength, in healtb, endurance the rural man excels. Second, the country man is more industrious, more persistent, less easily discour- development is far greater than that of the city man.

From Cleopatra Down the Women Have Resorted to the Use of Hair Dyes. The art of dyeing the hair is at least as old as the time of Christ; it was by resorting to such aids to beauty that Cleopatra tried to capture Cwsar. All through history ladies of fashion have tried to improve upon nature by arti- ficially coloring that which St. Paul tells us is their glory. In the heydey of Venice, the facile beauties of the of the lagoon died their hair a red to which Titian was not ashamed to af- fix his name. The belle of belles in that day bad red hair, not bright red, but a dull red, with gloss of crimson. More recently, almost in our own time, a rage arose for bright blonde hair, as to which there was a tradition that it had been popular with the Greek hetaire. Blonde heads blocked the thoroughfares, and young ladies of good repute did not disdain to employ the dyer until his services were mo- nopolized by another class. In our day, the popular color is a bright shade of auburn—the blonde cendre of the bonlevards—and silly girls go through martyrdom to impart that tint to their locks. For the popularity of blonde hair the argonaut finds this excuse, that itis rarer than black or brown hair, and finer. Every- body knows that the legend of the golden fleece was suggested by the ar- dor with which Jason and other Greek connoisseurs pursued the blonde-haired maidens of Colchis. Almost all hair dyes consist of sul- phur and acetate of lead, both of which are injurious to so delicate a plant as human hair. A steady course of either will impair the vitality of the hair pa- pilla and may destroy the medulla al- together. Women who bleach their hair use peroxide of hydrogen, which, after a time, imparts an unnatural and wig-like luster to the hair. A more dangerous dye still has for its basis nitrate of silver. When this is used the hair is first washed with sulphuret of potassium: the nitrate is applied while it is still wet In all these cases The Best is the Cheapest. The residences of H E Percival, Chas.
