a former hospital attendant, "I recall
none so remarkable as that of John Pe-
ters. At the battle of Ball's Bluff he
wns a member of the Forty-second New
York regiment He was badly wonnded
in the hip and he fell on the field
While ho lay there another ball frac-
tured hisripKt knee joint. Utterly help-
less, he was trampled beneath the feet
;>f the contesting soldiers until the close
of the engagement ami was then taken
prisoner U Richmond. He remained
there four months, when he was ex-
clianged ami sent with other wonnded
to tho Philadelphia hospital I was an
atteudaut there. I'eti rs' wounds had
been so carelessly attended to that he
was worse off. if anything, than when
he wns first wounded We did the best
wo could for him, but he was in such
shape when aUo to leave the hospital
that he was discharged from the service
as permanently disabled.
"fc'ome mouths afterward I was trans-
ferred t« a hospital at Washington and
was there when the battle of Chancel -
lorsville was fought. Two weeks after
that engagement a number of soldiers
who had been wounded there were
transferred from the hospital at Acquia
Creek to tho Washington hospital
Among the most desperately and appar-
ently hopelessly wounded of these 1
was amazed to discover John Peters,
the soldier who had left the Philadel-
phia hospital to pass officially as a life-
long cripple. When he was at last able
to tell his story, I was still more
amazed. After being discharged from
the service as permanently disabled ho
had placed himself in charge of a noted
surgeon of that day and after some
months was made almost as sound as he
ever was. At any rate he was able to
re-enlist, which he did in the One Hun
dred and Fifteenth Pennsylvania anil
became orderly sergeant of his com
pany At Chancellorsville lie was shot
in tho right thigh, tho bullet causing a
compound fracture, and almost at the
same moment a minie ball struck him
in the left hip and lodged there against
tho bono. He fell and attempted to rise
As he raised his head he was hit by a
flying piece of shell, which fractured
his skull and knocked him senseless.
"When Peters regained consciousness,
his regiment had taken another posi-
tion, and he lay there between two rak-
ing fires, bullets, cannon balls and shells
whizzing over him for hours, until at
last he managed to drag himself a few
yards away to the bank of a stream
where there were bushes. Grasping
bush, he pulled himself over the bank
and let himself down into the water,
waist deep, which relieved his pain
Our troops retreated soon after that,
and the Confederate army swept by
where Peters hung. After it had passed
Peters endeavored to draw himself out
of tho stream to the bank, in hope that
he might bo picked up, but he found
that the bush to which ho clung, while
sufficient to support him as he crouched
in the water, was not stiff enough to
bear his weight in efforts to pull him-
self up on the bank. There was a bush
just below him evidently strong enough
to enable him to accomplish his pur-
pose, but it was out of his reach, and if
he released his hold on the bush that
was supporting him to make the at-
tempt to reach the stronger one he knew
he would drop helpless in the stream
and drown.
"While he was thus facing death he
saw a movement on the bank, and the
next moment an emaciated face with a
deathlike pallor on it appeared over the
edge It was the unmistakable face of a
badly wonnded Confederate soldier who
was dragging himself to the water. The
sunken eyes fell on Peters, and the
owner of them mnst have comprehend-
ed instantly Peters' peril, for he dragged
his body forward and, placing both
hands on the bush that Peters longed
for, bent it down toward his helpless
foe and gasped:
" 'Huyh, Yank, grab it!'
"The bush dipped so close to Peters
that ho summoned all the little strength
he had left, let go the bush ho was hold-
ing to and grabl>ed at the other one. He
caught it It withstood his weight, and
after a long and painful struggle he
pulled himself by it to the top of the
bank As soon as he could recover
breath enough he turned to tho wound-
ed Confederate, who lay quiet on tho
bank, to thank him for his kindness.
The man was dead His dying breath
was spent in saving the life of a foe.
"Two days Peters dragged himself
about that bloody field of battle before
succor reached him. He had been re-
ported dead in the list He was sent to
the Acquia creek hospital, but 11 days
passed before his wounds were dressed
His case being decided to be hopeless,
he was sent to the hospital at Washing-
ton. He was there a month, during
which it was expected hourly that he
would die, so desperate was his case
But he did not die, and I heard subse-
quently, having qnit the hospital serv-
ice, that he had been discharged from
the hospital so much restored in health
that he was preparing for a third en-
listment Whether he did enter the
service again I never knew."—New

number of postal cards asking tho re-
cipients to report what progress the
bike was making among the colored
people in that section and what partic-
ular moral aud physical benefits had
been derived therefrom. Many answers
iad been received, and they would now
be read by the secretary in his richest
and juiciest baritone voice.
Shinfoot Thompson, a leading colored
man of Buffalo, reported grand results
in that neighborhood. He was the first
African in that town to tackle the
wheel, and at the outset he was known
to tho police aud the public as a "tuff
kuss." He gwore; he got drunk; ho wa*
a scrapper; he stole chickens and coal
and felt himself sinking down into the
pit of degradation. One tumble from
the wheel checked him in his mad ca-
reer. After breaking his neck a few
times he began to see things in a differ-
ent light and by the time he could
wabble two blocks he was no longer
"wanted" by the police, and a local
artist gave him fo per day to pose as a
model for a colored angel.
Six months ago, had he known of
coop wherein roosted 50 unsuspicious
pullets, he would have had every one of
them between dark and dawn. Today
the man who even w hispered "chicken"
in his ear would meet with a violent
death. As it had been with him, so it
was with a hundred others he conld
name. Tho bike had worked such a
moral change in the colored man of the
city by the lake that no coal dealer now
kept a watchman, and all butcher shop4*
left smoked hams hanging out over
night.
The Hon. Jurisprudence White, who
is known as "the colored poet of
Ohio," answered from Cleveland that
the bike had upset the colored popula-
tion far more than the introduction cf
the cuckoo clock or the electric door-
bell. In the short period of three months
it had been the direct cause of two mur-
ders, three elopements, ten cases of as-
sault and battery aud more profanity
than would last a pirate vessel on a
voyage around the world. It had dimin-
ished church attendance at least one-
half, and it had made bad men of citi-
zens who had long records for integrity,
lie couldn't exactly explain why thi*
was so. It might be that the climate
had a good deal to do with it or that
the excitement of a political campaign
had brought it about. It was so, how-
ever, and he was sorry for it. Even in
his own case lie felt himself a bad, bad
man, and there wa°. seldom a week
when he didn't have to climb a fence ten
fret high to get away from the police.
While his feet weTe on the ground he
felt himself tolerably good and gave
everybody half the road, but the minute
he mounted a wheel and began to work
bis legs he wanted to kill somebody or
something and wouldn't turn ont for a
street car if he was to be hung for it
Colonel Judas Lightfoot one of the
leading colored lights of the Quaker
city, reported a mixed state of affairs.
In his church everybody thought the
bike was a boon and a blessing, and al-
most any fine day the minister could be
seen out on the wheel. In other churches
they were divided, and at least in one
instance a clergyman had been bounced
for riding the wheel. The colonel
thought that riding the wheel had made
a better man of him. When on the
wheel his whole time was taken up in
dodging vehicles, running down pedes-
trians and pirkiug himself up, and
when ho got home his back ached so
that he felt like sitting down and read-
ing his Bible and then going to bed. He
used to stroll around and be gay and
festive, but all that had passed. In tho
case of his brother, who used to be so
good that children cried for him, tho
case was different. Riding the wheel
had made a bad man of him, and the
last time ho was arrested it took four
poli? . . 1 to crack his skull with their
clul®. Riding the wheel influenced peo-1
pie differently, the same as riding a
mnle. On the whole, so far as he could
Jcam, tho influence had been beneficial,
aud he was one of those who hoped the
j hike had come to stay.

clone last summer and came down all

Professor Slipbaek Taylor, president

rode the bike. They began Sunday
morning and kept it up right through
the week. They rode in all kinds of
costumes, and it was not a novel sight
to see the mayor riding alongside of a
coal heaver. It was seldom that Chicago
blessed anything when it conld use a
more decided expression, but it had
come to bless the bike and hold tbe
memory of its inventor in reverent
memory. Whether far good or bad, time
alone would tell, but Chicago wouldn't

HEE PEOPLE.
Texas is a cosmopolitan state,
but native Americans predomin-
ate. The negro population of tho
state is small compared to other
southern states and the "race
problem" cuts no figure here. The
state is settled largely with immi-
grants from different parts of the
Union, those from the southern
and western states predominating.
LAWS.
The laws of Texas are made foi
her own people and are the mos^
liberal, equitable and just any-
where.
HOMESTEAD LAWS
Are the most liberal, and her col-
lection laws tbe most lenient to be
found in any state in the Union.
These laws not only provide
against misfortune, but give the
family a guarantee against waste-
fuFextravagance and bad manage-
ment on the part of the husband.
The following extracts from the
state constitution will give an idea
of the protection which the state
throws arourd a family:
"Art. 17, Sec. 49. The legisla-
ture shall have power, and it shall
be its duty, to protect by law from
forced sale a certain portion of the
personal property of all heads of
families, and also of unmarried
adults, male and female.
TAXATION
Is light, our state ad valorum tax
is now 20 cents on the fl00, and
our state school tax is 18 cents
on the flOO. County taxes do not
often reach 50 cents on the $100.
land.
Improved lands are worth from
$10 to $50 per acre.
Our lands produce a greater va-
riety of crops than can be found in
almost any other county. They
have the rare advantage of bring-
ing both wheat and cotton crops—
something not found \ in many
places.
roads.
Good roads reach into every sec-
tion of the county and substantial
bridges span all streams.
education.
We have ninety public schools
in the county outside the city of
Gainesville—eighty-six white and
four colored. These schools run
on an average of six month each
year.
"Bee. 50.—The homestead of a
family shall be and is hereby pro-
tected from forced sale for pay-
ment of all debts except for the
purchase of money, the taxes dne
thereon, or for work and material
used in constricting improve
ments thereon, and in this last
case only when the work and ma-
terial are contracted for in writ
ting, with the consent of the wife
given in the same manner as is
required in making a sale and
conveyance of the homestead; noi
shall the owner, if a married man,
sell the homestead without the
consent of the wife given in such
manner as may be prescribed by
law
"No mortgage trust, deed or
other lien on the homestead shall
ever be valid, except for the pur-
chase money thereof, improve-
ments made thereon as hereinbe-
fore provided whether such mort-
gage or trust deed or other lien
shall have been created by the hus-
band alone or together with his
wife; and all pretended sales of
the homestead involving any con-
dition of defeasance shall bit void.
"Sec. 51. The homestead nst in a
town or city, shall consist of not
more than 200 acres of land, which
may be in one or more parcels,
with the improvements thereon:
the homestead in a city, town or
village shall consist of a lot or
lots not to exceed in value £5000
at the time of their designation as
a homestead without reference tc
the value o any improvements
thereon. * * * •"
"All household and kitchen fur-
niture. All implements of hus
bandry. All tools, apparatus and
