AN ATMOSPHERE OF DEATH.

I have spoken of tho wretched
expedients to which families TO
sorted in the hope of safety. Vicks-
burg hangs on the side of q hill,
whose name is poetical--the Sky
Parlor. On it thousands of people
assembled to see tho great sight
when the Federal ships went by on
the night of the 10Th of April; at
which time the houses of De Soto
were kindled on the other side,
lending lurid background to tho
dark shadows Of the boats, whilo
the fire of the batteries made the
river sheet Of flame! But the
Sky Parlor was reserved for other
uses. It's soil was light and
friable, and yet sufficiently stiff to
answer the purposes Of excavation.
Wherever the passage of q street
left the face of the hill exposed, into
it and under it the people burrowed,
making long ranges and systems Of
chambers and arches within which
the women and young took shelter.
In them oil the offices of life had to
be discharged, except that generally
the cooking -stove stood near tho
entrance, opportunity to perform
upon it being seized and improved
during the shells diversions in
other quarters. Some imes the
caves were strengthened by pillars
and wooden joists, and beds and
furniture were crowded in them.
Whether they were really effective
as against tho largest shells dropped
directly above, I cannot tell.
Stories were told, more than once
during the siege, of people who had
been buried alive by the collapse
of caves; but they probably were
not true. They made good shelter
against the flying fragments of the
bombs, and this was no small mat.
ter. 1t was rather point of honor
among men not to hide in these
places, which were reserved for the
women and children. Under all
circumstances of difficulty, the
modesty Of these was supported in
the half>exposed life Of the caves
witha pathos which affected me
more deeply than any other cir.

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.

SUF'E'ERING.

An Iron Hail for Forty Days People
Dwelling in Caves and Living on Air.
E S. Gregory in the Philadelphia Times.
For forty days and nights, with~
out interval, the women and chill dren
Of Vicksburg took calmly and
bravely the iron storm which, in less
volume and in few minutes, turn
od back tho victorious column of
Beauregard from Pittsburg Land
ing. They wreaked their worst and
utmost on the town, bringing out
the most vicious of all wars aspects.
That the ordinary atmosphere of
life, tho course Of conversation, the
thread Of every human existence
took in for nearly two months the
momently contingency of these
messengers Of thunder and murder,
is past ordinary comprehension.
How mlny of them came and burst,
nobody can have the least idea. An
account says that on June 22, 15O,..
600 shells fell inside Of tho CITY.
but this was probably an exaggera-
ton. They became at last such an
ordinary occurrence Of daily life
that l have seen ladies' walk quietly
along the streets while the shells
burst above them, their heads pro-
tected meanwhile by a parasol held
between them and the sun
Nothing was spared by the shells.
The churches farod especially
severely, and the reverend clergy
had narrow escapes. The libraries
of Rev. DR.. Lord, of the Episcopal,
and Of Rev. DIR. Rutherford, of the
Presbyterian church, were both
invaded and badly worsted. Ono
Baptist church had been rendered
useless for purposes Of worship by
the previous shelling. But what
mattered churches, or any sacrod
place, or sacred exercise, at such n
time? There was nothing more
striking about the interior of the
siege than breaking down of the
ordinary partition between the days
of the week, as we'll as the walls
which make safe and saved domestic
lite. During those long weeks
there was no sound or summon of
bell to prayer. There was no song
OF praise. The mortars had no
almanac, and the mortals kept at
home q perpetual service of fast and
humiliation.

1t has long been regarded as fixed
tact that nothing but positive abstinence
from the use oil intoxicating liquors would
cure the inebrate. and so we'll established
has that idea become in the mind of tenn
perance rcforners, that anything short of
pure cold water and no whiskey could
possibly save the man who had permitted
his appetite to overcome his reason, that
the argument was considered closed up.
But recent discoveries have led to a
decided change OF views upon this sub
ject, and unless those prove to be no dis
covery at all. a much more simple and
pleasant method OF reforming drunkards
than anything yet attempted has been
found out. 1t is nothing more nor less
than the substitution OF vegetable tor ami.
NAL food.
This theory was presented for the con-
sideration OF the British Association by Il
MIR. Charles Napier. who produced in be-
half OF it, a number OF instances in which
it was shown that wherever, vegetable
food was exclusively used, the appetite
for alcoholic drinks was not only DESTROY
ed, but positive distaste for stimulants
established. Confirmed drunkards. whose
attempts at reformation had all resulted
in failures, were completely reclaimed by
a resort to vegetable diet.
While it is not claimed by MIR. Napier
that the experiments made by HIM are
sufficient to completely establish the cor
rectness OF the theory advanced by the
great chemist, Liebig, who twenty years
ago stated that many people found that
while they could ready indulge their
taste tor vinous and alcoholic drinks in
connection with animal iood, they found
that when a iarinaceous diet was adopted
they could not do so, enough has been
demonstrated to make the subject one OF
the greatest possible interest to Il friend
OF temperance. and to induce expert
ments on broad scale, in order to test
its correctness. ......
OF the nearly $500, 100000 spent yearly
in this country for Intoxicating drinks and
tobacco. the larger portion is spent by
our employed or labor classes. This ac-
counts tor 10000 drunkards who die
annually, and for pauperism and suffer
ing beyond computation; while statistics
will ever show conclusively, that clear
brain, healthy muscle aud nerve put to
an honest calling seldom comes to want.

A Scared Veteran.

The Nashua IN. H. Telegraph gives the
following for a true story:"Ne know a man
who has walked up to the cannon'; mouth
without fiinching or losing his presence Of
mind, who has received what he belived to be
death wound and made no fuss about it, to
become so excited because OF an alarm of fire
that he couldn't speak the name Of the city he
lives in. This veteran was down t4yn with
his wife. His only child was at hom2 with the
