SECOND BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
Panoramic YK-w at the Charleston Ex
position. Most visitors to the Charleston
Exposition are enthusiastic over
.thfi panoramic scene of the sec-
nnA Vm.f-.t.ln ff Hull Run
The writer was only within
hearing of this battle as the
brigade did not get irito action
that day and he 'therefore can
not recognize the scene. Tp say
the least, though, it is a most
vivid picture of the horrors of
war.
The whole arrangement, is an
occular illusion. " It is a circular
house or pavilion which you
- enter and a pair of steps leads
. you to a circular platform from
which you view the scene. This
scene is partly painted on can
vas and is partly a miniature of
of tangible objects and the work
is so adroitly done that the eye
is unable to detect readily where
real objects end and canvas pic
tures begin. The canvas hangs
from the top of the walls down
to the floor. This floor is made
of boards' covered with earth or
j i. j i t-1 j
oust inu nuie snruouery auu
representations of men, arms,
horr; s, etc. There are rail fences
for instance that end with the
floor and the line is taken up on
canvas so neatly that you must
look strainingly in the dim light
to see where the painting begins.
You seem-to be in the very
center of a small but terribly
hard fought battle. There are
the dead lying as they fell while
doing their best. Wounded men
are being helped off the field.
One notably is leaning against
the rail fence and supporting
rhiraself while his languid look
indicates that his life blood "is
trickling down on the soil. There
.are horses that.have fallen and
the crimson spots show you
where the balls entered, notably
' ' '
one has fallen on his rider's leg
and he is struggling to free
himself. You see the artillery
horses dashing furiously to the
fray and shells are bursting and
mowing circles about them, the
smoke and even the flash of fire
being presented to the . eye.
Men stunned are scrambling
away and horses are rearing
back in nervous fright.
Ybu 89a troops coming sud
denly upon the flanks and the
combat is almost band to hand.
a rail from the fence to execute
vengeance on the foeman near
him. "iou seem to see a long
trcteh of fiejd, wi it! Virginia
Jcenery and all iftjut are men
' and houses imbued with the pres
ence of sharp conflict, a deadly
struggle.
At one point yqp see two of
ficers who have come near each
in the first shot and the Confed
erate is taking aim. ; .
There is an officer aniid a
group on horses that represents
"Stonewalli' Jackson. He is
clso to the hottest of the con
test and peering into it with ap
parent intensity of zeal.
The light is dim and you look
and pass around seeing some
thing at every renewed glance
that you had overlooked before.
You cannot realize that you are
looking at mere canvas but the
eye feasts on natural scenery as
the dim distance recedes into
smoky ether and the vision ends.

Public Aid Well Bestowed.
Mr. William H Blume left this
morning for the Soldiers' Home
at Raleigh.
It is hardly out of place, we
think, to give a little sketch of
procedure in this case. Mr.
Blume was stricken a few years
ago with an infirmity that ren
dered him unable to provide for
himself. .
A noble, self-sacrificing sister
who provides for herself and an
other afflicted brother, with er
needle only, promptly sent and
orought him under her roof from
his western adopted home and
has cared for him faithfully. It
vas easy to see however that it
was too great a burden and he
longed to take refuge in the Sol
diers' Home at Raleigh till the
fullness of ! his time shall have
come.
The writer's interests were so
licited and freely extended. A
statement was made to the Board
of Charities through the mails,
Mr. J P Cook pleading In per
son in the case, and while there
1
were other applications ' and Ca
barrus bad just secured a place
for a man, this case appealed tod
strongly to be turned down.
The only condition imposed was
the refunding of the $20 that he
drew as pension money. 1
While his protege stood ready
to make the further sacrifice tp
produce the full amount, human
ity forba'de it and' little trouble
was experienced in securing the
amount from friends and neigh
bors, the Dodson Ramseur Chap
ter Daughters of the Confederacy
contributing the last sum of
$2.80.
The writer, in his own behalf
and in behalf of the three cf the
family, extend to those who
readily responded in material as-
distance, sincere thwiks with the j
oarnesthope that blessings far
abtye these sacrifices will be re
awarded to each. The sums con
tributed would be published
gladly but for expressed wishes
of donors to the contrary.
