RECONSTRUClION:
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF
THE LATE WAR.
BY RICHARD TAYLUR,
LIEUT-aEN INTmEcoNFEpERArE ARMY
VOL, svo. Cloth. a7Ipagcs. Price. 50

General Richard Taylor, of louisa.
ma, inst published through the press of
the Messrs. Appletons n volume of some
three hundred octave pages, Which will
be real with far more interest tL.in most
OF the literature OF the civil wal between
the States is rewarded with. 1t is en-
titled "DeStruction and Reconstruction:
Personal Experiences of the Late War"
Genera Taylor says in his brief perface
that it has seemed to him Il duty IT, rn
cord these "reminiscences; that his op-
%portunities for c. aiming ian interior
view" of the matters TO which they re-
late were excellent; that in most eases
he has been a witness to the facts alleged.
or has obtained them from the best
sources, and that where any doubt exists
he has indicated it "by the lmlgIauc
employed" He begins with a review
Of the causes of the war, and reviews
the mi .itary and political history of the
struggle i'll Il series of fou'teel chapters,
which contain striking portraits here
and there, and many criticisms upon the
operations of both sideS."-NeW l0,k
World.
GAS a writer he is vigorous, sparkling,
erudite, and entertaining To a degree.
His opportunities for the oIsci lion of
men and things have been such as fcw
possessed, and he has made good use of
them. OF course, he views the late war
from a Southerner's standpoint, hut both
sides receive censure ut his hands. The
great interest in his book to many will,
no doubt, DO the sharpness with which
he criticises men and measures. Where
least expected, he pours forth batteries
or sarcasm and deiunciatinn, and spares
no one who hethiaks deserves Showing
,up.'"-NcW York Hc1dtd.
General Taylor is well known AZ one
of the most able and accomplished gem
tlemen that served in the Southern az
mics. His volume must be pronounced
by far the most crCditahle attempt made
by a Southern writer tn portray and in
terpret the most critical epoch in the
history of this country. There is hardly
a page which does not hold some fact or
thought worth citing. No book dealing
with the war of secession has vet APP
peared from a source of equal authority
whose disclosures are so boldly made
and whose conclusions are so sharply |
formulated. In more than one If his
pages we seem to catch a f0regleam of
the hard, cold light of history ITSELF

THE DEATH OF FAITHFUL
ROVER.
p A DOG.

The children are dreary and Sad to day,
And some OF them are crying:
Their little long faces are wet with tears.
For Rover-old Rover is dying.
They call. him pet names and stroke his
long hair,
Tney whistle and chirrup together,
But the old playmate is with them there
For the last, last time, forever.
He opens a moment his wistful eyes:
They see it and call him Rover"
A faint, low whine, and he tries to rise,
And then-poor fellow-it's over.
And never again through the tangled wood
The bees and wild birds chasing,
Shall the old dog scatter the partridge
brood.
Or bound with the children racing.
, They call him again, again and again,
. They raise his head and shake him;
Their little hearts break, but all in vain.
They.never more shall wake him,
No more through the copse and the un-
derbrush
Shall he leap, the hare pursuing;
No more will he bark at the tender thrush
Or bay when the storm is brewing.
They will miss the old dog with his hon
est face,
And his tail 80 briskly wagging,
Aad their summer days will have lost
their grace,
And their daily plays go tagging.
Taey will miss him, away from the oil
h%ouse-Goor.
And the yard will look dreary withou'
him,
And those merriest days will come ne
more
When the children were all about him {:
When. patient and plcddrg, he bor'
them all
With never a growl of warning;
And trod so gently that none might fall,
And guarding them night and morning
And when the little ones sank to rect,
Asleep sn the grass and clover,
They nestled their neads ON The shapg,,
breast
Oh faithful, dear old Rover.
And 80 the children ale dreslr and sad,
Aud al OF them are now crying;
Their little long faces are wet with tear:
Where Rover-old Rover-is lying.
They make him q grave in the hillside
fair,
Where they may forget him never;
TLen cover him gently and leave hin
there
In bis peaceful rest forever.
IL after } ears, when their hair is gray,
The children will still remember
How they tuii,d tier friend that Sac
day.
In the beautiful month. September;
Aid ma,veliing much Why that chlidi>i
love
So longin their hearts has %strlven,
Will hope they may met. why should !
not prove.
Good ola dog Rover in heaven.

there so favorable an opportunity for

is a worm when it comes from the egg.

its life, having neither eyes nor ears nor

They Killed Him.


Carson Appeal.
The other night as old 'BIinks, who
presides. over the case-keeper of faro
game, sat listening to the various
opinions expressed about our Indian
troubles he felt constrained to relate
some of his own experiences with the
Indians, prefacihg his remarks with the
assertion that not one man in ten thou
sand knows anything about the subject.
Said be: You give me one hundred
men as brave as myself, who would rely
on me for strategy and follow where I
would lead, and we'd whip all the tribes
between here and Alaska ..'
BIinks proceeded to state that in the
early days of Texas he commenced the
subjugation of an Indian tribe all on his
own hook. He was both infantry and
cavalry, and his courage and willy tactics
appalled, the Indians more than an
ordinary ARMY corps would have done.
He maintained this uneven warfare for
several months, until one day be found
himself some three hundred miles within
the Indian territory. where no white
man had ever been before. As he was
passing through. a de6le. in the mountains
1900. Indians surrounded. him. They
had closed every avenue Of escape;
abrupt mountains toweled on either
hand, their sides lined with ssYsges
several hundred guarded the pass ahead
of him., while an equal number had
closed in upon his rear To escape was
.Impo.sibley the Odds.Were too great to
give battle, so ne msjestically eur
rendered and defantly told them to- deal
with him as they pleased. The delight
of the Indians at capturing such an i'm.
portant and dreaded enemy prevented
them from killing him at once, and they
were two daysin counsel, trying to invent
some more horrible torture and manner
of death than they had ever rractised
before.
By this time Old Blinks had got him
sell hopelessly, entangled, and the crowd
around the game seeing his dilemma,
demanded 10 know how he, had got out
of such a fix. Blinks coughed and
"sparred form time, = hoping to invent
some way to wind up the story, but his
imagination /" fell down" on him, and
the boys kept pressing him. he told of
his thirst and described his thoughts,
trusting that come idea would oeme to
his rescue. The crowd, becoming more.
and more aware of his predieament, in
terrupted, distracted, and confused him
so much he could think of no way out,
SO bringing his f-t dowr on the table
with q thumP, and with look of earnest
sincerity. said: =" By, bcy9, ithey
