How Senator Henderson Vas Wounded.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

that some Western paper had accused Senator

shot in the back. AS / was member of

1.-THE 10Th Ohio, permit me to relate the circum-
stances under which he was wounded. 1t was
at the battle of Loyejoy Station, in the thick

brigade of the Sd division of the 4th army
corps was suffering severely from the enemy s
cross-fre on our left, that he, his saber in the
air to attract the attention of our men to the
enemys fire on our left, was shot down. His
gallantry at the time SO impressed itself upon

seyenteen) Henderson. Moreover, the general,
after he had been taken to Atlanta, Ca, re-
guested me to take care Of him, and did SO
for three weeks, until he was able to be moved.
He suffered great deal the first ten days, but
manifested great patience through all his suf-
ferings. The doctors had but little hope Of his
recovery the first few days and they twice
probed for the ball without success. / think
he well deserves his fifteen-dollar pension.

The Death of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CouthouI.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In reply to the inquiry of Comrade F. P Has
keli as to the death of Lieutenant Commander
Joseph P. Couthoui, permit me to say that he
commanded the gunboat Chillicothe during
the fall of 1863 and up to the date of his death,
about the 9th or 9TH of April 1864. On the
day that he received his wound the rebel
sbarpshooters had been very busy sending US
leaden compliments, and, at the same time,
burning their cotton to prevent its falling into
our hands, and as we approached Campti, La.
this was during the Banks Red River expedi-
dition), Captain Couthoui was standing on the
top of the pilot house, watching some burning
cotton on the river bank, when he was shot in
the abdomen, from the effects of which he died
about $50 o'clock the following morning. He
was very energetic officer, but rather too
strict with the boys. l believe he was the only
commissioned naval officer killed during that
badly managed expedition. His body was
placed in a leaden coffin and put on board a
transport to be sent North, but / believe she
was sunk by the rebs and his body lost.

A vote OF 175, 900 for Socialists and
kindred Jisturbels of the peace is a sig
nificantfact of the election in Paris, The
government has lost strength, and the
advocates of restoration of the throne
have made bat little gain, but the vote
OF the tohomists, socialists, anarchists
and toiloctivista is nearly 60, 900 greater
than in the election of 1881, and a simi-
lar gain in the election for Parliament
would forebode much heyil for the Repub.
Lie. For nearly fourteen years it has en-. y
dured, but the element of Socialism is
alarmingly powerful and it may be that
revival Of the Commune will bring the
opportunity for which the Count Of
Paris is whiting to take the sceptre in
the name of the public good. There
are many men of intelligence among the
Socialists and they ought to perceive
that to destroy the Republic will be to

ROY.4LINTRIGUE.

The devious ways of royalty and cir
cumlocutory modes they take to keep
up the formality Of court etiquette are
matters Of surprise and amusement to
Americans. The public are gravely in-
formed that Queen Victoria, while at
tending her grand-daughter's marriage
at Darmstadt, was the recipient of an
autograph letter from the Emperor Will
lam Of Germany, which, in turn, is fol-
lowed by the announcement that the
Prince of Wales has proceeded to Pots,
dam and is the bearer of an autograph
letter from his mother to Emperor Will
lam. 1t is to be hoped that both these
royal peraonages will have been made
happy by the receipt of these formal
missives. and that the feeling will be
duly reciprocated by their loyal subjects.
What next?

The Craze for. Matching.

The Brooklyn Eagle 'sMan About
Town" says matching is in vogue for
everything imaginable, from a peanut to
a billiard table. I know broker who
matches his bootblack every afternoon
whether he shall pay him 10 cents or
nothing, and it is no usual thing to see
men of unquesGoned wealth matching
with each other at the elevated railroad
station to see who shall pay the fares
uptown. Fully one-haf the men yell
something about "head or tail' when
they approach the barat Delmonieo's.
and it is a common sight up town at
night to see three or four men in the
Brunswick or Hoffman House matching
phlegmatically for dollar clip for an
hour at time. I know an office clerk
in a well-known brokers' firm, who re-
turned from England month ago, who
has, by matching dollars, cleared over
$500 in three weeks. Men match for
lnncheons, hats, canes and theatrical
tickets,

fifty men from the Pittsburg Southern Road
who were on their way to Ohio Pyle Falls to
work on the grading for douple

this division. Both trains were going at
high rate Of speed and came together with q
terrible crash. The engines remained on the
track and telescoped each other into the smoke
stack, but the heavy tenders jumped into
the air and fell, the freight tender
upon its engine and the gravel
train tender back on the first car in the rear Of
it. Here was the scene of death. Six men
were killed outright in this car and four others
who were fastened down by the broken hmpers
were roasted to death. the car catching fire
from the overturned stove and burning up be.

and one of them assured your correspondent

engine stood thirty feet in the air at the side
Of the iron car that was burned and could
be seen, sitting amid the glowing embers,
twisted iron rods and dead ashes, three grin
ming skeletons, one sitting bolt upright, appar-
emily peering into the flames that
had smothered out his life as well
as those of his companions. It is im-
possible at this writing to get list
of the dead and wounded but it is known that
John Nevill, John Ward, John Carey and John
Hughes were burned. Pat Cassidy, who was
on the second car, was instantly killed. Anoth-
er man named Shay, who was injured, has just
died. At noon a large force of shop hands were
on the ground, extingulshing the flames and
the wreck train was at work pulling tie debris
away and rescuing the cbarred remains. The
burned trunks of four of the victims have just
been taken .out. The remains were rever-
emily placed upon q board, carried
aside and laid down on the grass.
1t is expected that the wreck will be cleared
up this evening. The officials decline to say
who is to blame. but popular opinion puts it on
one of the train runners. It may have been a
misunderstanding of orders. The true cause
will not be known for day or two. Mean
time thorough investigation has been ordered.

Mexican Post Office Department has
sent its American and other foreign
mails north by this route. Letters come

American Post Office Department still
forwards its mails from st. Louis and
Chicago to the City Of Mexico.by way of
New York, and thence by steamer to
Vera Cruz, unless the matter is especial
ly directed "Via Ell Paso." The time
by New York and Vera Cruz averages
not less than three weeks. Americans
