Remarkable Sand Dune.

The Reno, New, Gazette de-
seribes a remarkable hill of OfmOving
sand in the eastern part of
Churchill county, Nevada, about
sixty miles from Land Springs
Station. 1t is about four miles
long and about mile wide.
In the whole dune, which is
100 to 400 feet in height, and con-
tains millions of tons of sand, it is
impossible to find a particle larger
than a pin head. tits SO fine that
if an ordinary barley sack be I'LL
ed aud placed in moving wagon,
the jolting of the vehicle would
empty tho sack, and yet it has no
form of dust in it, and is as clean
as any sea beach sand. The
mountain is SO solidas to give it a
musical sound when trod upon,
and often times a bird lighting on
it, or u large lizard running across
the bottom, will start a large guam
tity of the sand to sliding. which
makes noise resembling the
vibration of telegraph wires with
hard wind blowing, but SO much
louder that it is often heard at a
distance OF six or seven miles,
and il is deafening to a person
standing within n short distance
of the sliding sand.
A peculiar feature of the dune
is that it is not stationary, but rolls
slowly eastward, the wind gather
ing it up on the west end aud car
rying il along the ridge until 1t is
again deposited at the eastern
end. Mr. Monroe, the well known
surveyor, having heard of the
rambling habits of this mammoth
sand heap, quite anumber years
ago took a careful bearing Of it
while sectioning Government lands
in that vicinity. Several years
laterhe visited the place and
found that the dune had moved

The Washington Monument.
IScientific Americana


The annual report of Lieutenant
Colonel Thomas l.. Casey, Corps
of Engineers, United States Army,
engineer in charge of the Wash
ington monument, submitted to
Congress December 23d, shows
that the height of the shaft is now
$40 feet, and All increase during
the year of 80 feet.
Since the completion of the
foundation in 1880, the total load
added to the then existing struc.
ture has been 2S,355 tons, and the
settlement of the shaft due to this
load has been on an average about
one and one.fourth inches for the
structure. The total pressure now
borne by the bed Of foundation is
1881 tons, or about 02-l0O of the
total pressure to be finally placed
upon il. The amount expended
on the monument during the past
year was sl77,S40.G0, leaving bal
ance available of s33,417.37. An
estimate of s250,OOO is submitted
for continuing the work of the
monument for the year ending
June 80, 1884, which it is expected
will complete the shaft and pyra-
midion, and also the interior stair
ease and elevator. This report is
accompanied by n letter from the
Joint Commission recommending
an appropriation by the present
/ Congress of the amount estimated
as necessary to complete the mon
ument to its full height of 800 feet.

/ From the New Orleans Pieayune.l
AYES, Morgan was much great
er soldier than he is generally con.
sidcred,n said Gel. Thomas II.
Hunt, of New Orleans, the other
evening, to representative of
the Picayune, after rambling dis
eussion of the merits of the va.
rious Confederate General. He
was far more than a raider, and
had in him all the elements that
make up a great leader
'.Well, Colonel, l know you led
one of the most gallant Kentucky
regiments in the Southern army,
and are familiar with the country
in which Morgan gained his fame;
were you ever with him 2 was the
query.
ayes, sir; it was my good for.
tune to be under his command
when he made the attack on Harts-
vile in 1868. That has been pro-
nounced by able military critics
the most brilliant achievements of
the war, and | was SO impressed
with the military genius ofthe man
OH that occasion, that shall never
cease to regard him with the high
est veneration.n
"Upon being pressed the Colo
mel went on: I'm the winter Of
| 1862, while the confederate army
lay in camp at Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Gen. Morgan got exact information
of the enemy across the Cumber.
land, and determined to strike one
of those quick, decisive blows for
which he was famous. Gen. Har.
lan's division of 5000 men was
encamped at Castilian Springs,
whilo force of 1000 Federals
were posted eight miles below him.
The problem was to cross the Cum
berland, whip, and if possible. cap
ture this latter force, and escape
before Harlan could come up.
He asked for two regiments Of
infantry to accompany him, and
mine, the 9th Kentucky, was
chosen as part of the force. The
boys wers ragged and many shoe
less, and after an inspection | Sc
lected those who were well shod
and comfortably clad. II was bit
ter cold and the mon must have
suffered intensely.
"When we reached the Gambler
land council of war was called,
and when | was informed of the
position, | suggested, of course
that Harlan would come up as sool
rs he heard the firing and capture
our whole command. NO said
Morgan. "hc will not. He will get
his troops in line and wait for .
courier to inform him of his situa
tion, aud | will take care that the
courier shall not reach him by
posting a. line of scouts across Tho
country This was an exhibition
of the highest qualities of general
ship-knowledge of what the ell
envy would do under certain cir
cumstances, We'll, sir, he actually
accomplished his purpose. Will
a force of / 200 he marched fift,
miles in u deep snow, crossed thu
Cumberland twice, captured 1000
prisoners and much plunder, ant
brought them into camp, all in
thirty hours"
"What did you do with the pris.
oners, Colonels"
"They were paroled the mex
day and permitted to go home. AS
we were crossing the river at {
ford below IIartsyille. Morgan
ordered the cavalry to carry the
; prisoners over behind them OF
horseback, as the thermomete
was far below the freezing point
The men in blue crowded arount
, him and exclaimed: " Well, if w
had caught you we would have
! treated you to q rope, but W.
| know now you are not as bad
man as we thought
