The BattIe of shilob.

MT. Vernon Qlls.) Cor. Globe-Democrat.l
It seems to me that / have one more
ray of light to throw on this subject a
few years ago, as my friend Capt. 10
Laur was coming up the Central from
Cairo, he noticed very respectable-look-
ing negro in the seat behind him, and
opened up a conversation. 1t soon came
out that the man once lived near the cele
brated battle-ground, and, as the captain
had been in the fight, they both had much
to tell. The negro said that in 1862 he
belonged to Mr.. Cherry, who lived at Sa-
vannah. Cherry was a strong Union man,
and Gen. Grant had his headquarters at
his house. One night Gen. Grant told
his adiutant to let Gen. Buell.
casion for him to rush his men. as
it would be week before they would be
ready to march to Corinth, and in the
meantime little would be done Mrs.
Cherry overheard this, and she was a
rebcl-not to Grant, but to everybody else.
So she quietly went to the kitchen, wrote
a note to Beauregard, and told the negro
what it was and what he should do with
it. So he got a horse, passed the lines,
shot through the darkness to Beauregards
headquarters, and put the note in the gen
eral hand. Everything began to rustic,
Beauregard rushed toward Pittsburg
Landing, and-we have all read the rest
of the story.
My friend Capt. Laur, of the Union
army, and my other neighbor here who
fought on the other side think this negro's
story the best key they have found to the
Shiloh riddle

According to the Paris Gaulois an APP
paratus has just been invented which
is simply astounding, for with it the
traveller need no longer fear any acct
dents. Safety will be assured on rail
roads This apparatus permits the en-
ploye charged with the duty to see in
mirror the entire section of the road he is
to control, with all the trains in
motion. and he knows at every instant
just exactly where each train is.
When one of them approaches
another at distance which
is dangerous. he can Immediately signal
the menaced train. The apparatus con
sists of sheet of opaque glass, on which
the rails are indicated by horizontal lines
and the stations by vertical ones num-
bered. Little arrows, representing the
trains, move along the horizontal lines
They are put in motion by aid of cleo
tricity developed by contact of metallic
brushes attached to the locomotive with
zinc bands placed along the rails. The
train thus continually traces its trajectory
on the glass indicator. The apparatus
was exhibited some days ago in Germany
to commission of Berlin scientists.

Ihe Defenses of Holland.
Ist. James, Gazettel

\ considerable sum is to be spent this
year in completing the defenses of Hol-

is peculiar. but is apparently well adapted
to the characteristics of the country in
which it is being carried out. While

mobilize their armies, in Holland the
order will be given for the mobilization
of the waters When this operation is
effected, a water-line from five to ten
miles wide and some sixty miles long will
be created, directly barring the advance
of an invader coming from the east.
Above the surface of this inundation moth
ing will be visible but few narrow roads
raised on embankments, enfladed by for
tifcations bristling with cannon The
water for the most part will be only few
inches deep, so that it viii not be naviga-
bic by hostile gun-vessels or tiOtillaS;
while deep trenches cut in the ground
below will Illustrate any attempt TO wade
through the inundation.
The contingency of an invasion taking
place in the winter, when the waters
might be frozen over, is ingeniouslY pro-
vided for. The depth of the inundation
will then be increased, and the waters al
lowed to freeze on the surface. The
water below will afterward be drained off.

To bluest skies that arch the way
I lift my thankful eyes to-day.
The sunlight falls, a golden tide,
Der airy forests, green and wide;
Pure odors drift the morning through,
And God has led me hitherto.
Sweet flower perfumes thrill the air,
As if from censor swung at prayer;
And sweeter fragrance fills my life
With all my Fathers goodness rife;
He gives me roses after rue,
And He has kept me hitherto.
What joy to take His guiding hand
To trust, if not to understand
To rest through change and toll and tears
On Him, whose grand eternal years
In every living youth are new,
And cry, "He leads me hitherto"
