Sheriden's Account of the Win
CHESTER Poem

Referring to the poem of "Sheri-
dams Ride" 1 asked the Genera! if
he had ever met the author.
Yes" he replied; 81 know him
we'll. I first met him before the bat
tie OF Stone River. He was a guest
at the headquarters of General Rosen-
Grams, and staid with us a good
WHILE"
Do you know how he happened
to write it,"
Eyes. I have heard him tell about it
agreat many times. There are a num-
Der of stories floating around, but
I'll lgive you the true one, as Read
told it to me. James E. Murdoch
suggested the idea"
"MurdOck the elocutionist?"
"Yes; he was an actor at one of the
Cincinnati theatres at the tiu,e, and a
great friend of mine. He lost a son
at the battle of Missionary Ridge
Murdoch did-and came down there
to get the body. The enemy occupied
the place where the boy was buried,
and the old man remained there a
guest at my headquarters. He used
ride the lines with me, and always
used the black horse 'Rienzi,' that
was afterward called Winchester
and became very fond of him. |
Things were very exciting down
there, and Murdoch saw a good deal
of war. Sundays he always read and
recited poems to the troops around
headquarters, aud there was one
poem Of BrOwning's that was always
called for. 1t was a great favorite
with the soldiers and with me and
we never let him off without reciting
it. 1t was the ride from Client to
remember it. Well, after
the battle of c. dar Creek there was
published in Harper's weekly a story
Of my ride from Winchester, and a
picture of me on the black horse
Rienzi. Murdoch saw it and took it
up to Read, suggesting that it was
= good theme for a poem. Murdoch
had just seen an officer who was
there, and gave him a description of
the affair, and Read jumped at the
idea. He shut himself up in his
room, wrote the poem that aftern Don,
had his wife make a copy, and sent
It over to Murdock's house as soon as
It was done, to see how he liked it.
Murdoch was very much pleased,
md that night read the poem between
he acts. So it got into the newspa-
1ers, where l first saw it.''-Natio aal

The Drum LummOn.

Herald: The Drum LummOn is
producing $50 tons of ore per diem,
which is being worked wet in the
two mills of the company. Very
little ore Is being taken from the 500
foot level, the bulk of the output
coming from the Cruise tunnel level.
The new mill is a substantial >truc-
ture, containing fifty stamps, but it is
yet too early to state anything posi-
tive as to the resulto of the operations.
The character of the Drum Lummon
ore, like the Heather Chinee, is
peculiar, and skillful and economical
manipulation is required. Superin-
tendeDt Atwood is exerting himself
10 the utmost to achieve success.
