In WAR, as in other kinds of hard
work, there is a good deal of the prosa-
ic element. IL is not all poetry and ro-
nance. The battle of Eutaw Springs,
September s, 1871, was the last action
of the last Southern campaign Of the
Revolution. Though full OF martial
glory in itself, and fruitful Of great his
toric results, rum and potatoes were con.
trolling influences In the conduct and
issue OF the engagement. The British,
for lack Of bread, send out ''rooting
parties" to dig sweet potatoes, and the
surprise Of one Of these parties by the
advance OF General Greene's army
threw the enemy into temporary dis
order, which was greatly 70 the advan-
tage OF the Americans. The complete
ness Of the victory, however, was mar.
red by the inopportune zest with which
a part OF the Continental troops fell
upon the abundant rum found in the
British tents. While the patriots were
drinking the British rallied, formed
their line anew, and saved their army
from humiliation,

they might prefer, and they should dine

The people Of Wheeling, or portion OF

purpose Of enabling persons and ireigh,

cause, death resulting generally frorn-the
most insignificant origin. At this sea-

a common thing that In the hurry of ev-

dangers attending 1t and often find too
late, that fever or lung trouble has al.

5n this way every winter, while had Bos-

would have resulted, and a large bill
