notice number of newspapers Civ
ing, or attempting to give, correct
statement of the circumstances under
which our lamented friend and brother,
Judge j. w. Mckenzie, performed the
signal act of heroism at Altoona, none of
which exactly coincide with detailed
statement OF the case as given to me by
the sheroa himself. I had been es-
pecially intimate with him for years.
Not one word has ever fallen from his
lips relative TO this matter, to my know
edge. One day. learning incidentally
from another, of his connection with
"Hold the fort, for I am coming"
took occasion to ask him about it. He
seemed at first reluctant to tell me, but
pressed him. and this is substantially
his own account of it. After describing
the situation of the armies at Altoons
and Kenesaw, he said:
General Sherman's signal corps had
been trying to send dispatches from
Kenesaw to General Corse. We could
read the dispatches with our telescopes,
but GOULD not receive or answer them
back because the rebel shots were SO
thick. The rebels also had lot of sharp
shooters posted watching our squad, and
every time man would show himself
they would pick him off. At this time
General Corse came up and said address
ing the signal corps, Who is in command
here P Our Captain was absent, and ]
was in charge of the squad and I replied.
I am, sir. The General then asked if a
message could be sent to General Sher-
man, in answer to his To hold the fort,
for he was coming, just read. replied
that it could be if it was absolutely
necessary General Corse then wrote
out the message and handed it to me. It
read as follows:
To General Sherman: l am short
cheek-bone and one ear, but can whip
hell oui of them yet.
GENERAL CoRsE.
81 took it and the signal flag and
called for volunteer from my little
squsd, No man responded. / then of
fered the flagstaff to each man and asked
if he would volunteer, and each declined.
I then thought I would detail one, but
my brother Tom was in the squad, and
the thought struck me if detailed an
other than him they would say at once
partially. If detailed him and he
was shot would never forgive myself,
and it seemed like certain death to any
one to undertake ii. At this moment of
hesitation the general, seeing no man 60
ing forward, said to me firmly: Lieu
tenant, I thought you said this
message could be sent?' I replied.
1T can,' and without further de-
lay I mounted the signal station
and commenced sending the message,
expecting every moment to be shot. The
flag was about eighteen feet long, and
the wind was blowing some, and I found
it very hard work, and felt as though I
must give out before was done. At this
moment, when it seemed could stand it
no longer, stranger, not member of
the signal corps, came up behind me,
put his arms around me and along my
arms. took hold of the flagstaff, and,
standing behind me, helped me to wave
the answer back to Sherman. do not
think could have sent the whole
message without help or rest. - Des

Nine. NIlsson,s $ Insane Husband.

The Paris Figaro contains piece of
news which will be heard with deep re-
gret by the thousands of Nine. Nilsson s
American friends and admirers. M.
Rouzand, the husband of the gifted
prima donna, has fallen an innocent VIC
tim to tho prevalent mania for specula-
ton. He was, it appears, largely inter-
ested in the business of one of the Paris
stock brokers. During the recent panic
he was given to understand or fancied
that he lost the whole of his fortune.
This proved, happily, to be mistake;
but the excitement caused by the fear of
his imaginary ruin turned his head, and
yesterday evening it was found neces-
sary to remove him to the private asylum
of DR.. Goujon, where he spends his time
winning airy millions by fantastic rises
in securities. M. Rouzaud had been for
some time past inclined to hypochondria,
He was generally and sincerely esteemed
and one of the few men who married q
prima donna without having to repent
their temerity.
Auguste Rouzaud was native of the
Isle of Bourbon, where his grandfather
married q creole woman and amassed
considerable wealth. NJ. Rouzaud, who
had fortune of about 800, 900, was
married to Mile. Christine Nilsson, the
famous Swedish prima donna, in West
minister Abbey, London, on the 9th of
July, 1872.
