SHERMAS's DUHIoArKD PLANS The
following anecdote Of the war we do
not remember to have seen before
Sherman, on his march toward At
lanta, constantly astonished the rebels
with the facility with which he restored
the railroad bridges they destroyed at
his approach. They would annihilate
a bridge Just before he arrived, and the
next morning there il was again, Just as
il was before they touched it. At last
light dawned upon them. The origi-
nal plans for the bridges had ell been
furnished from Cleveland, Ohio, and
before Sherman started he took those
plans, had each bridge duplicated IN all
it's timbers and iron work, took the
pieces In shook state on his trains,
and 20, when be found bridge gone,
be had nothing 70 do bat TO get lts mate
out Of the freight cars, bolt it together
and pat II up. This thing worried tbs
rebels good deal when they found II
out, One day they proposed TO destroy
the Dalton tunnel TO hinder Shsrman's
march, but an exasperated rebel said
What ia the nations the user That

JERKS AS A BASE BALLIsT.

Health and amusement
Being in search Of these commodities
we joined base ball club
| We had watched the game day after
day; had taken particular notice Of all
the points had studied the rules and
explanations until we could repeat them
verbatim had applauded all the fine
playing, at the same time perfectly sat
isfed that it was so easy to do this and
that, in fact was satisfied we could
make our mark as ballist
Went out TO practice.
Had position assigned TO us on the
right flank as skirmisher
But here we didn't show off to much
advantage, and we were ordered to close
in.
We closed in, and were afterwards
called short stop.
We felt much better hereas there was
some chance Of having something to do.
(We wouldn't Ike loafng even il we
are playing b. b.
Prepared for a catch, and got it--th
ball was coming right at us--strdck an
attitude, and took the ball handsomely
on the point of our middle finger, from
which it flew like lightning to aposition
directly under the LETT eye, where it
halted moment and then went to pur-
gatory-us on top.
Here is where some of our amuse-
ment part Of the game comes in.
But the amusement was for the spec
tators, not us.
The captain said something about
"muffins" or "muggins," we didn't dis
tinctly understand which, if we had
there would have been pugilistic en-
counter.
Our base Of operations were again
changed, the captain sending us to first
base.
Our position here was indicated by a
small pillow filed with sawdust, made
on purpose for the convenience Of play
ers who are tired.
We were tired.
And took sitting posture.
Tim captain ordered us up.
i We said pass.
We haze since learned to say pass"
was asking him to pass the ball TO you,
and we had no more than spoken the
mysterious word before the ball was
making directly for US.
We don't like to have things thrown
at us, and not wishing to get hit, we
played strategy and vacated that base,
letting the ball 60 where it had mind
to.
Then our position was changed again,
and we were sent to catch.
4 We did better here.
4 Catching everything but--the ball
Caught the devil from the captain,
and all sorts Of mean and low remarks
from the outsiders.
I Spectators should never be permitted
on a base ball field

bawl than the players. Which ain
right.

had strike IN. B. We had been
receiving strikes ever since we com

and the ball came by again. This time
