Philadelphia Times, Mavy Indies who have taken rlding lessons cannot fall to appreciato the valuable instractions given in tho *‘Book of the Horse,” which, if followad, will n- sure eass and grico. The lady who has mastered the first lessons In the eques- train art and can sit her horse properly at a wa'k or show echool center is then in a positlen to declde whetker she will learn to rule her horse or whether she s content to paes {hrough lifs dependent for her comfort on the temper of her steed or tho c'ose, nurse-like atteation of some groom or gentlemsn, The horsewcman should sit so that the weight of the body falls exactly in the centro of the saddle, without heavily bearing on tho stirrup, able to grasp the upright pommel with the right knoe, and pross against the “hunting-horn™ with her left knee, yet not exerting any mue- cular action for that purpose. For this end the stirrup leather must be neither too long ncr too short. The idesl of a fine horsewoman is to be erect without Delng rigid, square to the front, and un- tll quite at home In the saddle looking religiously betweon her horse's ears, but thrown back a little, #o as to expand the chest and make a hollow waist, ‘‘such as is observed in waltzlog,” but always flexi- bly. On the flexlbility of the person above the walst and on the firmness be- low all the grace of equestrlanism, all the eafety depends. Nervousness makes both men and women poke their heads for- ward——a stupld trick in a man, unpard- onable in a woman.

How the Time Passed Subsequent fo the Bl Ran Fight, Two Armics Squabbling for Green Apples—A Balloonist's Ex perience, Washington Republican. Gen, J. E. Johnston's late article In reply to the strlctares of Jefferson Davis on hls condoct after the first battle of Ball Ran, shows pretty plaialy that the confederate army was in no condition to makean immediate advance upon the national capital, and that even if it had advanced promptly it wonld have been met by a strong force of well-organlzed troops, who retreated from the field in good order on that memorable 21st of July. Shortly after the battle the bulk of the confederate army was thrown forward to Centreville, and Longstreot’s brigade, numbering about 3,500men for duty, was advanced to ¥airfax courthouse. Longsirest's troops while posted at Falrfax had thelr first taste of that most disagreeable cf all the duties of a soldier— plcket duty in the presence of the enemy— presenting as It does s1l the more disa- greeable features of skirmishing, without the excitement of actual fighting. But it was a good achool, for the etrictest dis- ofpline was malntalned by the officers commanding the picket line. The brigado plckets extended from Annandale, on the Alexandria pike, in a cordon across to and beyond Muoson's hill, opposite Wathington, and at the latter point they wers within speaking distance of the pickets of the enemy. The Seventeenth Virginia infantry, to which the writer belonged, had charge of the line in front of Muaeon's hill, and, springing above the mass of intervening forests, the white dome of the capltol was plainly visible, and seemingly very near, from that ele- vation. When the picketing first began, and before the regular cordon was estab- lished, two companies of the regiment were santdown to Falls ohurch, the re- eerve belng poated in the outskirts of the villags, and the outposts thrown out down the turnpike toward Washington, Now, there s a splendid apple and peach ‘orchard situated at the foot of Mupson’s hill, the frult of which was ouly rlpe enough for the stomachs of school boys and soldiers, which was a bone of contention for the opposing plokete, as it was between the lines, The consequence was that It became a regular battle ground, and a number of both eides in the struggle for poseesslon got palvs oth- erwise than those ocoasioned by munch- ing green frult. I bhave sald in a previ- ous article that this firlng on pickets was little ketter than murder, and what ex- cited angry feeling still further was that there were a number of independent scouts from the far south, not rezularly connect:d with any organization, who were accustomed to stalic the federal plckets as a hunter does a stag, and shoot them down from ambush, Sach warfare had no earthly bearing on the result of the campaign, for it was, In the opinlon of the most of us, nothing but assassina- tion, legalized though It mfght be by cir- cumstances. Gen. Longsirect, In order to put a stop to this desultory firing, marched out from Fairfax courthouse one afterncon with two reglments cf infantry and a battery of the Washington ertillery, and, taklng positlon In front of Munson’s hill, shelled the federal pickets from ont the orchard, advanced his Infantry and took poseesslon of the hill, A line of plekets was then established to the left, beyond Febrey’s farm, and to the right in front of and beyond Mason’s hill, which was occupled by the enemy. 1t was then strictly enjoined upon the men not to snswer the fire of the faderal pickets unless they advanced from their position to asssil our line, After this both sides 40| quit their foollshnees, and the pickets walked nnconceraedly on their posts in full rifle range without molestatlon, Abont this tlme a captive baloon was sent up dajly In tho directlon from us to- wards the Chain bridge, and with a spy- glass tho meronant and his aesoclates were plafnly in view as they stocd up In their basket to take up their observations of our pesitlon, for the purpose, as we supposed, of ascertalning our reserve forea prior to forcing the plcket line. One day it was scen that the baloon had broken loose from its cable. and it floated about & half mile high- er toward our llnes, and was soon diregtly above them. The riflemen began to make n targot of the air-ship, and its goveraor, finding things growing warm, threw over ballast, telescope, chairs, otc , and mmediately roao higher, Lez'fy tha balicon drifted backward and forwerd for an hour or =o, and ticklish times are local passongers, who havo got to ride on this road cr teke the highway.” YOUNGMEN —-liErll)_’l'Hls .

The next day it was at its old tricks again. The officer commanding the line then brought up an English Blakely rifled field plece to Munson's hill to take a shot at a balloon, which was not more than two and a half miles cff. A hole wes dog In the ground to sink the trall, that the gun might be given a proper ele~ vatlon, and it y eighted. The first and eecond shots did not seem to discompose the ballconlsts, but the third shot told, for the air-ship was hastily drawn down, It way afterward learned that the aeronant, whose name, I belleve, was Lowe, declared that the last shot passed 80 near the basket that ke felt the windage of the ball. No more balleon ascents were made infront of us, and the menotony of the picket vigll was no lenger relieved by the lively aerlal visi- tor. Gen, Johnson having determined to withdraw his forces Into wintey quarters at Centreville, ordered Longstreet to maroh his entire brigade to Falls church, and {n connection with the cavalry to make a diversion to mask the withdrawal, A federal foroe comprising infantry, ar- tillery and cavalry, had aboot this time advanced from the lines] at Chain bridge up the turnpike to Lewlnsville partly, rerhnpl, ona foraging and reconnofter- ng expedition, and partly to threaten the confederate communications in that quarter. They tegan to throw up earth works which scemed to indicate they in- tended to make a permanent post of it, although the force being thrust forward from the maln liue was somewhat i lated. The ecouts soon brought in in- formation of thisadvance and Longstre¢et lald a trap to capture the whole lot, He ordered the Beventeenth and Seventh regiments with a equadron of cavalry and a section of artlllery to marchup the pike until they siruck the country rcad leading to Lewinsville, when they were to tura vo the right and'attack the feder- al potitlon in front with eeeming vehe- mence, but on belog stoutly reslsted, as they undoubledly would be on acccunt of inferlor numbers to the enemy known to be there, they were to back rapldly, as if In confaslon, 0 as to In- duce the enemy to pursuc if possible, Mennwhile, the general, with the bulk of his forces under cover of the woods, was to oat off the pursulng force from their army. The Seventeenth and Sev- enth regiments mads the attack, as di rected, beyond Lewlinaville, and on boing resisted, broke and ran in_confasion, but the federal commander evidently “‘smelled & mico,” for instead of pursneing the enemy poured their sharpnel from a six- gun_battery Into the flylng mass, and would not stir from thele Intrenchments until Longstreet asealled their flank, wherenpon they retreatod in good order. Longstreet was much discomposed by thls blocking of what promised to be for that perlod of tho war a brilliant exploft. The night followlng, the plckets, save a fow cavalry, were quistly withdrawn, and the confederates took up the line of march for winter quarlers at Centreville, withou! having struck a blow since the Bull Run battle, ——— Prompt and pleasant, safe and suro, Thete are the foaturcs of Red Star Congh Cure. —— A Oard From P, O, Hawes, To the Editor of The Bee:—InMon. day night's lssue of The Bre, you stated In substance thst ‘1 considered myself affconted that it should bo stated, that Senator Van Wyck had been assoclated In any way with me in the matter of the Nebraska state clalm.” 1 siid nothing that could be tortured Into any eush con- struction, Wken your paper published some time 8go that Senator Van Wyck had secared to the state about $26,000 out of these old Indian hostllity clalms, and that I hed rendered no service, had no businets with this matter, and that our delegation in congress should attend te It without compensation, and when I had a letter from the Interior of the sfate with & clipping fron lo- cal paper maylng that the ronator had caused the allowance, then 1 stated what the senator had done to aseist me to obtaln a rehearing upon the ‘‘Pearman vouchers.” I have had al- lowed for the state up to last December about $19,000 of claims, running from 1861 to 1869, when the last clsim accrued for which vouchers were lseued by the state, about §6,000 were suspended, and the *'Pearman vouchers” were disallowed by eecretary of war, Hon. Robkert K, Lincoln, I prepared anew brlef, and presented additional expartl affidavits with the request, that the papers be re- terred to the judge advocata general of the army (Geu. Lieber) for decislon upon the second sectlon of the act June 27th, 1882, as to whether the ‘‘Pearman vouchera” were contemplated and covered by that act. When I assisted in prepar- ing that act, I knew of the condltion of the Nebratka clalmg, for I have had them for nearly 15 yeare, and was notified that any ordinary barrister counld not declde otherwise than that the disallowed vouch- ers were covered by the act. When I was in Washington in May I wanted some one of Influencs to present the brief 10 the sccrotary of war. I went to Sena- tor VanWyck and he read the brief care- fully, and he did not think that I bad prope:ly set up the polnt at ssue, made rome suggestions and that dsy I corrected it in accordance with the senator’s views. The mnext morning I gave him the brief and he presented it to tho secretary of war, with the request as above stated, It was referred to the judge advocate gener- al on the 10th of May, on the 1ith of May 1 had an interview.with that officer who sald, ‘‘He would take up the brief as soon as possible,” after I had explained the whole case. Thisis the whole transaction eo far as Senator Van Wyck is concerned;.but if you think that 1 am disposed to ignore the influence and general usefalness cf Senator Van Wyck to the people of this state, I destro that you should undeceive youreelf. I have bren on terms with ev- ery representative of Nebraska in hoth sldes of the natlonal capitol since the state was admitted into {he unicn, no one of whom was ever more courteous, obliging, and more willing to serve any public or private interest than Senator Van Wyck.
