SIXTEEN YEARS AFTER,
Gordon's Capture OF Fort Steadman,
One OF the BoIdest Plans
OF the War.
From the Detroit Free Press.

Grant had been hammering at Lee
IN front of Petersburg day after day
and night after night for months.
When a Federal was killed he was
replaced by recruit. When Il Con-
federate fell he could not be replaced
at all. Death and desertion had
thlnned Lees army down until, in
the last days of March. 1860. he did
not have one man to every ten feet of
fortified line. Unbolted corn meal
and sorghum nplasSes furnished the
staple ration, and hundreds of the
men We're without ovcrcoats and al
most barcfOoted. Grants hammer
ING with cannon and mortar and mus
ket gave Lee no rest. Men who
fought all day to save one point were
marched all night to he ready to save
another, and tired men fell asleep to
be awakened hy the crash of bombs
or the yclls of assailants. Say what
You will, but the world has acknowl-
edged that there was something he
role i'll that long defense Of Peters
burg and Richmond. Such faith and
patriotism and obedience would have
freed country from Il yoke of des-
potl>m.

Down Town Merchant,

Having passed severaA>sleepless nights, dis.
turbed by the agonies and cries of a suffer
ing child, and becoming convinced that
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup wa just
the article needed, procured q supply for
the child. On reaching home, and ac'
quainting his wife with what he had Gone,
she refused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of Ho-
mGopathy. That night the child passed in
suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following, the
father found the baby still worse; and while
contemplating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child. During her absence he adj
'ministered a dose of the Soothing Syrup to
the child, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke
in the morning bright and happy. The
mother was delighted with the sudden and
wonderful change, and although at first Of
Tended at the deception practiced upon her,
has continued to use the Syrup and suffering,
crying babies and restless nights have dis
appeared. A single trial of the Syrup never
yet failed to relieve the baby, and overcome
the p%rejudices of the mother. Sold by all
Druggists. rs cents a bottle.

oFJERoME COLLINS, OF THE JEANETTE EN-
Petition, AGAINST COMMANDER DELoNG.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, November >2.1The
Tribune tomorrow prints an interview with
DR.. D. F. Collins, of this city, brother of the
late Jerome J.. Collins; a scientist of the
Jeanette expedition. DR.. Collins
says: "We have evidence that
position as commander of the expedition
to prosecute in every conceivable way some
| of the members of the commission, and my
brother was under arrest for no reason
whatever. This Lieutenant Danenhower
admitted to me IN New York. Captain
De Long refused to allow my brother
at certain times to do any kind
all notes, photographs and records of the
expedition prepared by my brother to sink.
We have evidence that the captain forced
him to remain behind when he volun-
teered to go ahead with Ninderman and
Noras in search of reliet, this my brother
being in the best condition of any member
of the party to do. There is evidence that
Bartlett, who is now in Siberia, one of the
seamen, is in possession of valuable facts,
but we believe he has been kept in Siberia
purposely by officers of the expedition, so
that his testimony may not get before the
board. We are also in possession of full
information that on Melville finding
the bodies of belongs party he used
most blasphenous, scandalous language
concerning my brothers body. We also base
the reason for believing the reports made
by Melville as to the condition OF weather
which he alleged prevented him going
to the relief of the belong party were false,
for the dates on which he declared the
weather was bad are shown to have been
good bv the record" Collins further
asserts that jealousy existed between
certain officers of the expedition,
the trouble beginning, he learns, over
an order to the effect that all men should
undergo physical examination monthly.
Collins and Danenhower were neither per-
mitted TO assist in the retreat
