cheers ali along tho Union line, and
blazing fires were kindled that were
kept burning all night, for the men
knew that they had fought their last
battle and had won. Next morning
Gen. Lee had his army drawn up, and
standing under an old poplar tree,
read his short, sad farewell to his men
AID then mounting his horse left them
forever.
The federal soldiers got word from
Chamberlain's advance that Lee had
surrendered under an apple tree, and
they we're shown the tree under which
Lee sat when he sent ont his flag OF
truce. In nm hour not a trace of it was
left. Even the roots and tendrils were
dug up, and a great hole was left there
where they had dug, the marks OF which
are seen to this day.

Waste Of Bullets ir War.

From the Popular Science News.
Cur readers may have seen or heard
the statement, that it takes q soldiers
weight OF lead to kill him in battle, and
they may ,,>aye considered it to be mere
ly q rhetoriesl hyperbole, suggested b.
the obvious fact that comparatively few
out of the whole number Of shots in war
take effect. It seems, however, that
the assertion, which originated with the
famous Marshal SAKE, was proved by
Cassendi, after careful mathematical
calculation, to be no exaggeration and,
with all the improvements that have
been made in muskets and IN the
art of using them effectively, it IS still
not far from the truth. AT the battle OF
Solferino, a comparison of the number
of shots fred on the Austrian side with
the number killed and wounded on the
part Of the enemy, shows that 700 bull
lets were expended for each man wound
ed, and 4,200 for each a killed;
Now, as the average weight OF the ball
used was 80 grams, it must have
required at least 1875 Kilograms, or
aab5ea.. GOT 2 pounds q lead TO xiii MAN.
In the Franco-R Russian war the slaugh-
ter caused by the needle-gun among the
French shows how much superior that
frearm was to the Austrian carbine;
but about 1900 shots were required
then to accomplish the destruction Of q
single soldier. 1t is found in practice
that a great majority Of the wasted
bullets go over the heads OF the enemy;
hence resort is sometimes had to the OK.
pedient of pressing down, by means OF
q staff, the muskets of q platoon Of men
about to ere, a sergeant being detailed
for the service. When the shots are
aimed at an isolated soldier the chances
against him are. of course, greater; put
even then the waste of lead is some
thing enormous. In the Franco-Prns
sian war, according to an officer VINO
Witnessed the performance, Q French

Of an hour at a German mounted sentry
posted on a hillock about 300 yards on.
Full 400 shots were fred before either
man or horse was hit. Al really exper,

certainly at the stcond.

There was a wrestling match in New
York recently between Prof. Wm.
Hmfier, q well-known scientific wrest-
Ter, and Carl Abs, champion wrestler
Of Germany, who arrived q few days
ago. Abs stands six feet, weighs 230
pounds, and is 33 years old. Hmfier is
an inch and q half shorter, weighs 100
pounds, and is 28 years old. Abs had
the reputation of being the strongest
man in Germany. He had thrown the
best wrestiers, lifted $50 pounds with
one hand. andcarried 1900 pounds up
stairs to harness. The match was Grm-
co Roman, the best two in three. Inside
Of two minutes from the first grip Abs
lifted Hofer in the air twice In sue
cession as though he was o ~schoolboy.
In another minute Abs dropped his
man on the stage and rolled on him
and pressed his shoulders and hips 10
the mattress, and the fall was awarded
to Abs. The second bout showed the
great superiority Of Abs, and in five
minutes be had his opponent fat on his
back, and was awarded the second fall
and match. It is said Abs Is the most
powerful wrestler ever seen in America,
Plenty Of sportsmen stood ready to
back him for any amount against any
conner. A challenge from the stage for
4 match for $500 or 81 900 was accepted
by Sorakichi, the Japanese wrestler.

the Republicans would have no

Mr.. Jonas friends do not relish
the idea that he is to be made the

eventually walk off with the prize,
and begin to fear that the Nichols

With q Gun.

Felix Grant was shot last Satur-
day afternoon, about 2 O'Clock with
a gun, by Robt. Jackson, on the
Cholula Plantation, in the It'll
Ward Of this parish. It appears
that the two had quarrelled, and
fought, in the morning about I
o'clock. The difficulty originated
il a dispute about the weight of a
coil Of wire.
AS Felix was walking along the
levee onhis way home, in company
with his wife, Robert Jackson APP
peared with a gun, and said he had
a great mind to shoot Felix. Felix
told him to shoot, and Robert re-
sponded by shooting him in the
lower part Of the abdomen, from
the effects Of which, Felix died i'll
about three quarters of an hour.
Both men were cOlored-Robcrt
was arrested and sent to jail.
