Hillsdale Standard,
WAR'S BLOODSPOT.
Should you ask a veteran of the war,
officer or private, to point out the
bloodspot of the war, the field on which
the caruage was the greatest in a given
time, no two would perhaps agree.
Almost every battle of the war would
be named, and not one in a hundred
answers would locate the spot.
It was at Spottsylvania, on the
second da\r of the tight. On the afternoon of the first, as the Second and
Fifth Corps moved up against the
earthworks crowning Laurel Hill, they
were driven back after alight lasting
not over forty minutes, with a loss of
almost six thousand killed and wounded. The dead were ten to .every
wounded man. There was no heavy
fighting next day. Grant was inspecting Lee's lines for a weak spot. He
found it at the point known to every
soldier on both sides and to history as
"the Horseshoe." In forming his battle line Lee had left this to* stand. Indeed, his troops had formed it as they
came on the field. At this one-spot
his field-works projected out from the
main line like a tongue of land into a
bay. A whole Federal corps might
have been rushed against it in daylight to its destruction, but Grant
moved Hancock's troops by night and
stationed them for a dash in the gray
of morning. They rested on the fields
of the Brown farm and the farmer's
house was Haucock's headquarters.
From Hancock's lines to the Horseshoe
was less than half a mile, with the route
obstructed by thickets and a second-
growth forest.
Just before daybreak of that early
summer's morning, with a mist rising
from the fields and thickets, and while
the birds were fainty chirping in the
trees as they noted i;he coming of
dawn, Hancock's men moved forward.
The Confederate pickets were only
pistol-shot away. As they challenged
the lines got the word to double-quick
and the pickets were carried along
with the rusrti. With cheers and yells,
which were heard two miles away, the
Federals struck the field works—dashed
over them—were upon the Confederates before even a single company
had rallied. Some of the defenders
were preparing an early breakfasts-
some yet slept. More than 3,000 prisoners were captured in twenty minutes
and Lee's right center was pierced.
Then came delay and confusion, and
the golden moment was lost. He
ioriiied a new line in the rear of the
Horteshoe. and the Federals reached it
to be driven back to the ground they
had captured.
How it was Lee's turn. He did here
-what he did at Gettysburg—attempted
the impossible. Five times within ten
hours did he hurl great masses of
troops at Hancock's front, but each
time they were repulsed with dreadful
slaughter. Every charge was made
with a momentum which carried the
Confederates clear up - to" the field-
works, and they were shot and bayoneted or taken prisoner. After the third
charge the dead almost blocked the
way, while the cries of the wounded
almost drowned the roar of musketry.
There was not a tree nor bush nor
twig nor blade of grass which was not
cut by the flying missiles. The earth
was ridged and plowed and furrowed
as if some mighty drag had passed and
repassed. The very air seemed to
blaze and burn. After 1 o'clock it
rained heavily, and -.younded men
dragged themselves about and drank
out of the pools and hollows. Those
who could uot crawl lay with open
mouth to cool their parched tongues by
catching a few drops. In front of a
part of Birney's Division was' a sink
hole. Into this rain and blood collected
until it was full of red *.yater, and
around this were a hundred wounded
men, drinking and moaning.
Not when the sun went down—not
when lhe night came—but only at midnight did Lee cease hurling his gray,
masses at Haucock's front. Then the
living could no longer charge over the
dead and wounded. And when the
morning came again and men looked
out on those acres of field and * bush
they saw what was seen nowhere else
during the long aud bloody war—the
.earth'hidden from sight—the soil so
glutted with blood that when the burial
parties cleared it of its awful burden
it had turned red!

The Rev. Mr- W.eeais' Kevenge,
An interesting character in American history is the Rev. Mason L.
Weeins. pastor of Pohick Church and
biographer of George Washington. Ho
was something of a romaucer, and to
his powers of invention we owe some
very interesting stories of the child-
hoo'd of the Father of His Couutry.
The most familiar and celebrated of
these anecdotes is the one which' tells
how little George hacked his father's
favorite cherry tree, aud when taken
to task about ft nobly replied:
"I can't tell a lie. pa; you know I
can't tell a lie. I did cut it with my
hatchet."
At oue time Mr. Weems was eu-
gaged as *"a colporteur. Au incident
which occurred during this time shows
that he had a good deal of human
nature and, despite his cloth, exhibited
on occasion something of the old
Adam. It seenis that one of his customers, to whom lie had sold a BiUe,
demanded n receipt for the money
paid for the copy of the Holy Writ.
Mr. Weems construed this demand as
an insult. He gave the receipt, but in
so doing he contrived to avenge his
wounded feelings. The event occurred
in the season of" the summer solstice,
and the receipt read as follows:
"Received, oiv the longest day of the
year, from the most particular man in
the world, lhe smallest possible price
for the best book ever published."—

What London Teaches Us.
London will teach you that it is possible for the streets of the busiest city
in the world to be kept scrupulously
clean, writes Edward W. Bok in the
August Ladies' Home Journal. It will
teaoh Americans, too, that a city can
be paved so as to withstand the inroads
of heavy traffic, and yet be a luxury for
one to drive on any of its streets. We
may teach them how to build the cars,
but they can teach Us how to construct
safe railroads. Where the American
railroad grades acrossing and endangers
life, the English road builds a tunnnel
and protects the public. The wooden
piers along our river fronts are nightmares when you see those buttresses of
masonry in England. The American
housewife is taught how beautiful the
humblest home can look when flowers
bloom from every "window in it, and
gardens look like spots of Paradise.
The English woman can teach her
American sister the great secret of
keeping young by .refusing to worry.
She -knows that worry means premature
age, and she has too high a regard for
her health to endanger it with what
she knows will not avail. The English
girl will teach the pride of every American that the foundation of the best
health is exercise and plenty of it, and
that healthy girlhood is the stepping-
stone to the best wifehood and motherhood; though, in every other respect,
the American girl can stand comparison.

The Voice
Is easily injured—the slightest irritation of

" Upon several occasions I have suffered

have been relieved by a few doses of Ayer's

P. P. MAST & CO.'S TRAIN.
Description of the Great Train which will
Leave for the West July 4th.
(From the Springfield, Ohio Daily Republic-Times. June 28, 1891.)
At 8 o'clock on the morning of the
Fourth of July a remarkable train will
leave the Arcade depot over the Big
Four, the I., I. & I., and Santa Ye routes
for Kansas City and the Great West.
It will consist of forty ears, all exactly
alike in size and color, each of a carrying capacity of 60,000. lbs. loaded with
BUCKEYE LOW DO"\Vlf DIOIXS
of all styles and sizes, over 1,600 in
number, including pin hoe drills.sprinc
hoe drills and shoe drills of from eight
to twenty-four shoes or hoes, some
wilh press wheels and some without,
«nd rigged for from two to six horses;
and including quite a large lot of the
combined grain and grass feed fertilizer
diills, which the people of Kansas are
beginniug to call for, and which have
for years been used iu the East.
This will be the largest shinment of
drills ever sent out by any factory, and
will be greater than the entire product
of some good-sized factories. Some
idea of its magnitude may be gathered
from the facts that the weight of the
drills will be about 1,450,000 pounds,
their value, at wholesale, between S80.-
000 and 890.000. and the freight charges
between §9,000 and S10.000.
Each car will be elaborately decorated with banners, flags, and bunting and
will be made otherwise attractive.
A special fnauire of the train   will be
TWO ADVERTISING CARS.
One, au open platform car on which
will be a pairof handsome dapple-grey
horses, 15J bands high, harnessed to a
Buckeye Low Down Shoe Drill, aud at
all stops the people will be given an
opportunity to examine the drill, and.
by competent attendant, will be shown
the advantages of the low-down principle, the four wheels, the limber tongue and the single lever. Both the
ear and|the| horses will be\ decorated
and will make an exhibit worth going
miles to see.
From the other advertising"car,which
will be the last in the train, will be distributed, very liberally, in the towns
en route, souvenirs of the great ^shipment in the form of an eleg.-vnt.speeial-
ly imported picture cards commemorative of the occasion: also other advertising novelties in useful and attractive
forms. The train srill not be run at
night in order that all towns may be
passed in daylight.
The drills in this are sold to dealers
in Kansas and Western Missouri, and,
with the exception of a few car loads,
which will be set out at different points
in Missouri, the solid train will be run
through to Kansas City, wliere it will
be divided, and each car fordwarded to
its destination.
This shipment is the opening of the
season, only a starter for the tremendous fall trade which is already assured
and another large shipment; will soon
follow to St, Louis, to suppl3xthe. trade
tributary to that point in Southern 111
inois and Eastern Missouri. Still another will soon be started for Texas,
and later on another for Kansas and
Western Missouri, as this lot does not
till nearly all the orders from that section, and many car loads are not t<> be
shipped until Aug. 1st to loth, or later.
This shipment clearly breaks fhe
record in the drill business, and shows
the popularity of the Buckeye Low
Down Drills throughout the VVest.
