An Incident OF the War.

War creates attachments more LASTING
than any other, and which are not
severed except in death. An incident OF
the war established between General
Rosecrans and General S. w. Price, OF
this city, peculiar relations, which, sc
far as General Rosecrans is concerned,
seem never to lose their force. In the
terrible struggle of Stone river, when
General Rosecrans' right was forced back
and almost crushed by the Confederate
advance, General Rosecrans sought out
General Price, then in command of a
brigade and holding position of great
importance, and addressed him thus:
General Price, you command here, do

eyes, sir"
"Well, sir will you hold this ford1"
81 will try, general
"Will you hold this fordW
81 will die in the attempt"
"That won't do" replied General
Rosecrans. "Sir, will you hold this
ford2 Look me in the eye and tell me
if you will hold this postion"
General Price answered, 81 will"
"That will do" replied General
Rosecrans. 81 bid you good day.
General Price redeemed his promise;
he held the ford. On the following
day his brigade bore the brunt of Gener-
al Breckinridge's awful charge with his
division of Kcntuckians, and General
Rosecrans, for his gallantry and courage
on these two days, promptly and
earnestly recommended General Price
for promotion.
The attachment of these two officers
was cemented as the war con
tinued. Later on, at the Kenncsaw
mountain, General Price was dangerous
ly and seriously wounded at the head of
his brigade in charge upon Confeder-
ate fort, and became separated by the
vicissitudes of war from his old com
mandcr, but General Rosecrans never
forgot the hero of the ford of Stone
river. He watched the future of his
soldier friend with solicitude, and has
never failed to speak a kindly word or
do generous act for the assistance of
his comrade. -L9uisUuie Courier.J0urndL.

The Russian peasant was a difficult
problem to deal with, writes CORE
spondcnt of the San Francisco Ghr0ni-
Gle. 1t is difficult to convey an idea of
how much ignorance and superstition is
mingled with his shrewdness and com
mon sense. The worship of sacred pic
lures or ''icons" is the strangest of all.
There is one in every room and every
shop, one in every bed, behind every
door, in every niche. These pictures are
woIshiped, not on account of the holy
personages they are supposed to repre-
sent, but because they are believed to be
personally capable of comforting tempo
raj benefits, of curing illness, or ward
ing off evils. They are usually found
by priests buried in some neglected spot.
Their existence is revealed in q vision, a
pilgrimage is formed to discover them,
and when found they are carried in tri-
umph to the places they are intended to
adorn. Groups of pilgrims may be seen
in all parts of Russia searching for icons or
fulfilling some vow made to them. When
ever ring for my waiter, his first act
after opening the door of my room is to
bow to the icon over the window. When
l open shop door a bell rings and a
little icon pops out, to whom the shop
keeper first does homage before he waits
on me. In the streets there are chimes
with icons in them, the churches are full
of them, and one hangs over the arch
way that leads into the Kremlin to
whom the emperor himself must doff his
hat. When the French entered Moscow
a company of Napoleons grenadiers in
vain endeavored to dislodge this icon.
1t resisted their utmost efforts. Even
cannon had no effect upon it, and it
hangs there still. Such is the mujik' S
account of it. But if the Greek devotee
is superstitious, the Russian Protestant
is none the less so. This sect, who,
however, are not numerous, deem it a
deadly sin either to eat a potato or drink
a cup of tea. No objection to vodka.
