WOUNDED AT CANE RIVER CROSSING.

On the morning of the battle of Cane River
Crossing l felt sure that should get wounded
before the day was over, and told the Bugler of
my company so. He answered that he would
take my musket when l fell, and L told him he
would have the opportunity to do so before
long. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon We
were ordered to make a charge. The rebels
had made q stand on hill which was covered
with woods, and we had to charge across an
open field about 100 yards wide. When we got
to the foot of the hill it was so steep and the
fire of the Johnnies came SO hot that we were
ordered to file around to the right to try and
flank them. We had just started to go around
when received bullet through my left thigh.
Immediately after receiving the wound l felt
perfectly at ease and felt sure that l should not
get hit again. went back across the field with
a comrade (Walker), who had been wounded,
and the Johnnies hit him twice. As lay in
the hospital that night q Captain of the 36th
Mass. was brought in wounded MORALLY. He
told me that he knew in the morning that he
should not live through the day.-C. o. HOLT,

PREMONITIONS.
A Rabbit Sign That Failed.

To THE EDITOR: Dreams and presentiments
seem to be having a run i'll your columns at
present. Permit me to call attention to cir
cumstance that happened at Cassville, Ga, on
Sunday, May 90 1864. in which mems super
stitions were greatly at fault. Gen. Dan But
terield's Division of Joe Hooker's Corps lay in
an open field quietly resting and cleaning up
after the battle of Resaca and march to Cass-
vile Mail had been received, and as / was
busily engaged reading a newspaper, a YELL as
though charge was being made, came gradn-
ally down the camp. l turned upon my left
elbow and looked in the direction of the cheer
ing i saw rabbit coming directly towards
me. 1t jumped under my paper and rested
against my arm. In an instant took it up,
and found that it was quite dead. No sooner
had l stated that it had expired than signif-
can't glances were cast by the boys towards
each other; remarks were made by them that
the Captain would be killed in the next battle.
1t was to them an i'll omen that an animal as
inofensive as the rabbit should, without ap-
parent injury. die so suddenly. lived to fight
many other battles, and marched to the sea
with the brave boys of the 55th Ohio, and up
through the Carolinas yet, had l been killed
in the next battle, the rabbits dying in my
arms would have been taken as a sure warning
of death.-J. r. LOWE, Capt, Co. ii, command

WASHINGTON

The department of agriculture re-
ports that the average condition of the
growing cotton in the United States has
been advanced from Sc per cent in July to
little over 81 per cent. The condition of
corn averages the same as in the July re-
port, and is higher than in any August since
1880. 1t has been exceeded but three times
in ten years-in 1875, 1879 and 1880, when IL
was SO per cent in each instance. There
has been an improvement in Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas. Nebraska, Georgia, Alabama, Ken
lucky, New Jersey and the Pacific coast.
A slight decline in the condition is reported
In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and in some
southern states. Drought has prevailed in
portions of the Ohio valley and in Texas
with considerable severity, reducing the

New York dispatch: The officers
and men of the Alert, Thetis and Bear re-
fused to say anything for publication about
the sufferings of the Greedy party. 1t is
evident, however, that the reports OF can
nibalism at Cape Sabine have some founda-
ton of fact. A gentleman connected with
the relief expedition, who did not wish his
name 10 be used, said the opinion among
officers was If cannibaism was Iesorted to
at Xevas, it was only when it was either that
or death. ANYONE can easily under
stand,' said this gentleman, ''ihat men
who have been living for months ON few
shrimps day are not exactly in their right
minds. When Greedy was found. the party
was more or less out Of their heads. They
had suffered so much from hunger and ex-
posure, collapse was very near. IL is
easy to see that for months the dominant
and only idea in the minds of these men was
how to get food. They had probably
dreamed aud thought Of nothing else. They
cannot be blamed for eating whatever they
could find,'' The Bear was open to visit
ors to-day. The iron tank ia which the
bodies Of the six victims have been pre-
served was on deck. 1t is four and half
feet long by twenty inches wide, and the
bodies of the men, it is admitted, were
merely skin and bones. Commander Schley
pronounced the remarkable ''interview'
with him, published yesterday, "a lie."

A WOman's Curious Bequest.

Boston Post.
In the will of Rachael T. Stevens, of
Somerville, recently filed in the probate
court of East Cambridge, appears the
following bequest: 81 give and devise
all my estate, both real and personal,
to the city of Boston, in trust, neverthe-
less, for the following uses and pur-
poses, viz: TO pay the net income
thereof in semi annual payments to
Hannah j. Adams, of Somerville, upon
the death of said Hannah to pay the
net income of said trust estate for the
support and maintenance of poor,
worthy Protestant single women of
Boston who have arrived at the age of
SO years, (not including widows), pay
ing each the sum of 500 annually in
semi-annual payments; upon the mar
riage of any beneficiary under this will
no further payment is to be made to
her, nor is any further payment to be
made to any beneficiary who becomes
unworthy of help under this trust. The
foregoing is perpetual trust" Her
Somerville property is directed to be
held in trust until it can be sold at 81
per square foot, at which time the city
is authorized to sell without applying
to any court for leave, the proceeds to
be held upon the terms of the previous
trust.

The Tomb of Rachel.

A correspondent of the Salt Lake
Tribune from Palestine says of Rachel's
tomb; Singularly enough this is one
of the places in Palestine where the
traditions of Jews, Moslems and Chris
tians agree, and where the generation
of all is bestowed. Undoubtedly it is
the SPOT where Rachel was overtaken
by her last illness when she and Jacob
were jourLeying southwark from
Bethel, and where Benjamin first
opened their eyes to look upon this
great world. The building is a modern,
white, square structure, with domed
roof OF coarse plaster, and the pillar
which Jacob sorrowfully set up to mark
the site has long since passed away;
but the spot is faithfully cherished in
the hearts of all.
The tomb lies at the point where the
Bethlehem and Hebron roads unite.
Bethlehem is in sight to the left, and
only one mile distant. How near Ra-
'hel was to good hating place when
her life went out, and that of Israel's
avorite son, after Joseph, was kindled!

Midnight in MarseiIles Cemetery.
Cor. N. Y. Times.

| SOr Ne IiLos.
Late at night 1 drove with my cour-
Ter outside the city to the cemetery, St.
Pierre, to see the burial of three chol-
era patients whom I had observed in
the Pharo hospital in the afternoon.
The route led through the poor quar-
ter, and at every corner bonfres were
blazing to purify the air. The whole
population was sitting out on the steps
of tenements or on church porches en-
joying the fires and the currents of air
created by them. The country road
beyond the barriers brought us to the
gates of the cemetery, when the polite
concierge, who was potter still for ST.,
led us walking down spacious road,
lighted here and there by lanterns lying
on the ground, to a place Just back
from where we had been and where the
nights burials were to take place.
Soon the first of the hearses appeared;
then followed the others. After brief
burial service, intoned by pale young
priest, who looked badly scared, three
boxes were hurriedly lowered into
trench eight feet deep by twenty feet
long, and goodly quantity of lime
shoveled on top. 1t was a ghastly
trench, and there was plenty of room
for moro collins. II was a weird and
saddening sight. There stood the
blanch-faced priest, intent on his holy
calling, surrounded by gang of swart,
bare-chested, notwithstanding labor
ers, who bore the somber collins. For
q back ground there stood the tall white |
houses. The dead still wore their taw-
dry trinkets, and the whole was lighted
up as in picture by Rembrandt by the
fitful glare of three lanterns. Those
gaping trenches were big enough to
lold their thousands. A conscierge
showed me burial permit. Across
he face of the document was written
'Cholera-urgent," and there was a
'equisition for some disinfectant. l

A Brutal Prize Fight.

An excursion train carried several
hundred people twenty miles south OF Den
yer, where prize-fght between John p.
Glow, Of Denver, and George A. Morrison,
of Leadville, took place for the champion
ship OF Colorado. Both men were badly
used up. At the end of the sixth round one
Of the spectators reached over the rope and
struck Glow. This started general rough
and tumble fight, thirty or forty men par
ticipating. The sheriff had disarmed the
crowd before leaving the train, which prob
ably prevented terrible fight. The sheriff
and posse succeeded in dragging the COM
bstsn.s apart before any serious injury had
been done. Meantime the referee called
time and decided in favor of Glow.

THE GRIM MONSTER.
What the q. S. Consul at Marseflles Sayf
of the Cholera.

Frank II. Mason, United States con-
sui at Marseilles, in dispatch to the
senate department relative to the
cholera at that place and Toulon,
says: 1t appears that notwltb-
standing all the progress in medical science
and the very perfect arrangements for col
lecting and treating stricken victims Of the
scourge, more than two-thirds Of those at
tackled have died-even during the first
fortnight of the epidemic, when all the SAN
tary conditions were most favorable. The
almost immediate transmission OF the dis
ease from Toulon to Marseilles and the
enormous death rate of 70 per cent in the
earliest stages OF the epidemic, seem to
prove that sanitary science and medical
skill have made but little substantial pro-
gress in dealing with ASiatic cho era.
A secord feature OF The present epidemic
is the rigor and deadliness Of its attack as
compared with that Of the last great cholera
summer SIS. The rapidity and ylrulence
OF this development are attributed in some
measure to the intense damp and Sitting
heat which prevailed during most of the
days since the 9th OF June. There are
physicians of judgmentand experience who
maintain that dessication is the only effec-
tive destroyer OF the cholera microbe on
large scale, and that dry, bot weather,
while 1t may be unfavorable for those
already attacked, is most effective in stay
ing the spread OF the contagion. Fugitiyes
from here have died at AK, Grenade and
other towns in southern France, but the
epidemic has not thus far been kindleG
there. nor have any persons been attacked
exc pit such as brought the contagiOn from
this city or Toulon.
In view Of the enormous emigrationwhich
has occurred since the outbreak, three
weeks ago-estimated by good authority at
one hundred thousand persons from Mar
settles and fifty thousand from Toulon-and
throughout France, Italy, Switzerland
aud the Netherlands, it is note
worthy and encouraging that no au-
thenticated case Of cholert has occurred
among this army Of fugitives at any point
noIth of Grenade, although great num-
Der of Italian working people left the two
stricken cities for northern Italy during the
early days Of the epidemic, it has not, ap-
been carried with them, or il it
has, it is not yet developed.
Nothing in all the dispute concerning the
origin and cure OF the disease has added any
TO the means hitherto known
for treating choleric patients, and the pro-
portion of deaths to the cases appears to in
crease rather than diminish. A momentary
CLEAN Of hope was diffused BY the announce
ment that patients had been rescued from
the collapse stage of the malady at the hos
pital in Toulon by the inhalation of oxygen,
but this encouragement has been clouded
BY the discovery that the effect OF this pow
arful stimulant was but temporary, and the
patients thus treated finally died in the same
ratio as those treated by other methods.
