A BATTLE WITHOUT ORDERS.

\ remark in Senator Logan's
speech in the Fitz-John Porter case,
to the effect that battle of consider
able proportions had been fought i'll
the Atlanta campaign without SIN
gle order from the commanding Gen
eral. has attract some attention, and
curiosity has been directed to the
idenilticstion of the occasion alluded
To. The fact seems to he that the
battle of which Gen. Logan speaks
is not known i'll history by Il dietinc-
tive name, but was one of series of
engagements before Atlanta, while
Sherman Was moving on the rebel
stronghold, opposed at every step OF
the way by Il stubborn enemy. The
Senator himself. when asked to name
the battle, made an explanation to
this effect. The TimtS'S correspond
ent called upon Gen. Sherman III
order to secure; if possible, from him
"Reminiscences of the occasion. Gen.
Sherman said: Il have not read
Gen. Logan's speech in the Congrcs
SiOnui Record, and have only seen
such abstracts as the newspapers pub
iished. Undoubtedly the Senator is
we'll fortified with authorities FOR all
his statements. | would not venture
an opinion upon his speech until L
have seen its as he will finally have it
printed, carefully revised and cor
rected, in the Record. when it will be
open to criticism"
"Do you remember any distinct
occurrence such as he is reported III
the papers Us having stated? In
other words, do you remember a bat
tie having been fought in the Atlanta
campaign without an order from you
as to its direction?' :" No, l do not
remember any special battle of that
kind; but there were lots Of days
when we had hard fighting, and such
thing. no doubt, happened, owing
to the circumstances under which We
were operating. Our lines were
about II miles long, and we were
constantly reprcssinS them. 1t was
not necessary to give special order
to fight. because every officer had in
structions-h had orders to fight every
chance he got Ii WAS fight all
the time. Wherever a corps com
mander met the enemy he knew 1t
was his business 20 so in. There was
q constant order, So to speak, to
strike Il head wherever it was raised
SO | do not remember any SPECIFIC
occasion where battle took place
without orders. There was a great
deal of that kind of fighting. Never
theless. | do not call to mind the par
ticular day to which Logan refers. =

A SINGULAR CAsE.-The st Louis
Globe Democrat tells a story of a
two sided person who lived some
years ago in Floro. Clay County, III.
He had never been sick since he was
an infant, and had never had the
slightest touch of paralysis. Notwith-
standing, his face and chest on one
side were profusely bathed in perspi-
ration, even on the coldest days in
winter: while on the other side, TAX
ing the nose for dividing line, no
perspiration was ever seen, even in
the hottest days of midsummer.
This, of course, excited considerable
remark and amusement. But his ap-
pearance was still more striking
when, sitting in one of the country
stores of an evening, he would go to
sleep on one side, with that eye fast
closed, while the other side would be
wide awake, and he would be keeping
up his end of the conversation.
When last seen he was to so some ex-
tent outgrowing his popularity, but
probably never fully did so. He had
consulted one or two country physi-
cans, but never laid his case before
those competent to advise him. It
is to be regretted, as he would have
excited great interst in medical
circles.

THE SKELETON IN MELVILLE'S HOUSE

The skeleton in the house of En-
gincer Melville Was thus described
by himself:
On Sunday his wife offered to
caress him. when he detected the
smell of liquor on her breath. He
told her to 20 away. On another oc
casion, when the Engineer returned
from a trial trip ON which he had
gone on that morning. she met him
at the railway station, and on the
way back she fell down. and he and
a friend assisted her home. This
was also attributed to iutoXicatIon.
Speaking of til" circumstances sur
rounding his return from the late
Arctic expedition. Mr.. Melville said
that Immediately on his arrival i'll
New York he was rendered a public
reception there, and accepted slml-
lar invitation in Washington. arriving
there late in the afternoon. The en-
tertaiLmcnt was gwen that evening.
and the following evening he was to
be greeted Oh his return to Sharon
Hill with an illumination and Il re
ception at his house. Reaching there
he was met at the door by his Iaugh
ter Maude. who threw lpr arms about
him and kissed him. Taking his two
younger children by the hand. he en-
tered the house in search Of his wife.
whom he found in the dining room.
Her hair was dishpyrlicl. and her
whole appearance indicated great
disorder of mind and body. The
first thing she said WIS: "iieorgc.
are you glad to see me-" No. was
the reply. Il am not, well. then,
all is over said Mr.. Melville; go
out and see Your fri"rt-.' In the
dining room WAS Il crowd of people
eating and drinking. lie became
tired of it. and went ont hoping they
would dispcree. An Eour later he
returned and closed the house up
and went up stairs. Ills wife said:
George, don't disgrace me- Dis
grace he d. Was the reply.
There is more disgrace here than i
have ever seen before. and the great
crowd of people who came here tC
honor me have witnessed my dis
grace" Then he went on 10 tell how
he returned to the parlur. and his
wife, very much excited. threatened
to shoot him and fire the house.

We are living in exciting times.
One sensation follows the other so
rapidly, that We grow confused by
this rapid occurrence of startling
events. Looking at the morning
papers We read Of the fight on the
Central Pacific train. then the raid
on two Nevada stores, and the MUIR
der of the proprietors and their
clerks. Next come the details of the
powder explosion at Berkeley in
which over forty lives were lost, and
the loss of the Cimbria where hun
dreds were drowned. So far this
month has been unparalleled in the
number of disasters which have
marked the opening of the new year.
Within three days nearly seventy
persons have suffered a violent death
on this coast. We certainly have had
our share of the epidemic of disaster
that is sweeping the continent from
end to end.
