A FEW WORDS ABOUT
SPECTACLES-- TESTIMONY OF THOMAS STEELE & co.
 HARTFORD, CONN.

We do not wish or intend to harm any one who may be doing an honora- ble, legitimate business, but when the public are deceived by false statements and induced to purchase articles at enormous prices under mistaken i'm pressions, we think that they (the pub lic) should know the facts in the case.
 We know of a case of poor young man about 20 years of age, who has always been near-sighted and conse- quently required concave glasses, but on application to these learned occu- lists he received instead pair of cou- vex glasses in steel frames at $2,5O, which were suitable for an old man of 60 years. We presume they eraniaaed his eye aoith one g their glasses before they gave him the specs, then told him they were all right and that he must take them, that he could not judge for him. self whether he could see we'll or not.
 This is only one among many instan- ces we might mention. We could, if we choose, procure the names of a large number of very respectable people who would bear testimony that the state ments we make are true in every par ticular, and that the humbug is even greater than we assert it to be-

NUMBER 81.

In this connection we, desire to mention
the estimation In which Gen. Mcpherson
was held by the members Of his staff.
Though so young man, scarcely older
than any of the officers composing his mill
tary family, their regard for him was un-
bounded, their affection almost idolatrous.
Their grief at his death seemed greater than
the grief of son for revered father.
When we entered the room in which the
remains lay, on Friday morning, one of the
staff (from motives of delicacy we withhold
his name), was alone with them, sitting
with bowed head and in tears. When con-
versing with him afterwards, his utterance
was frequently choked and sentences inter-
rupted by emotion which he could not con-
troll, particularly while relating the manner
of his death and pillaging of his person.
"The country" said he, "knows not its loss;
zoe think him the most brilliant man the
army has lost since the war began, but per-
haps our love for him makes us blind to
the merits of Others" And his words ex-
pressed the sentiments Of all the comrades
in-arms of the earnest, chivalrous, devoted
Christian hero and commander, the modest,
conscientious, much-loved man, whose body
was that day placed in its tomb of rest.

How Gen. Mcpherson was KILLED.

| The first accounts received of the manner
| of the death of Major General Mcpherson
were entirely incorrect. In conversation
| with the members of his staff who attended
| his funeral at Clyde, we learned the facts in
the case, which they expressed an anxiety
to have published.
The engagement of the 22d began at noon,
and by one O'clock had become general
along his lines. At that hour gap occur
red between two of his corps, which the
rebels saw and were cndeavoring to take
advantage of in an effort to pierce and
break the lines. The General saw the dan
ger, and at once started for the spot ac-
companied by two Of his staff and Cap
tain of the line with about dozen men,
They were riding rapidly forward, the
General already giving directions for the
closing of the gap, when body of rebels,
concealed in the bushes not more than ten
PAGES distant, fired destructive yolley.-
Gen. Mcpherson was instantly killed, q
minnie ball entering his right breast and
passing out of the back, shattering the
spine; his horse received three balls just as
the General fell from his back, and then
dashed wildly away; the Captain of the
line was also killed, as well as two or three
of the men, and several others wounded
Immediately the rebels charged over the
ground, and held possession Of 1t for about
thirty minutes, during which time they took
from The body of Gen. McP Pherson his watch,
purse and sword-belt, and also stripped one
of his hands of its glove, before they were
driven back and the Generals body recov-
cred by his own men. The sword-belt was
found on the person of a rebel Major who
was captured in this charge. The glove
that was not removed covered q, valuable
diamond ring, which is now In possession
of his friends. N - rtlsa...
The horse ridden by Gen. Mcpherson
was a noble black, charger, which he had
ridden through every battle he had fought,
from Shiloh to Atlanta. He Is now. recov-
ering and on his way to the home Of his
lamented master, at Clyde. sg ~.

GEN. BARTLETT has already been re-
ported as having been taken prisoner before
Petersburg. It is said his wooden foot was
shattered by ball, precluding the possibility
of walking, and when captured he had to be
borne away on stretcher. An incident is
related of him while with his brigade In the
front. A rebel officer, who had boldly push
ed forward to the crater, attacked Major
Gregg, of the 45th Pennsylvania, and after
a short contest was run through by the
Major who then found himself unable TO
disengage his sword. The General had been
a witness of the relcontre, and, now unbuck-
ling his own sword, said: "Here, Major, take
my sword, you know howto useit.p
