JAMES BARD, of Trinity County, Cal,
while in the army and about to shoot,
had his musket shattered by ball
from the enemy. A wound in the palm
of his hand was the result, and he
thought it was the bullet in his hand
The wound rapidly healed, and never
bothered him until recently, when it
panied him 20 lift his hand. An oper-
alton was performed, and splinter
one-eighth of an inch in thickness, a
piece of his shattered musket, was ex-
tracted after having been imbedded
there for twenty-three years.

I read last night of the grand review
In Washington's chiefest avenue
Two hundred Thousand men in blue
I think they said WAS the number
Till seemed to hear their tramping feet,
The bugles blast and tho drums quick beat,
Tho clatter of hoofs in the stony street,
The cheers of the people who came to greet,
And the thousand details that to repeat
Would only my verse cucumber
Till fell i'll a revcry sad and sweet
And then to q fitful slumber.
When, 10! in vision I seemed to stand,
In a lonely capitol On each hand
Far stretched the portico, dim and grand,
Its columns ranged like martial band
OF sheeted specters, whom some command
Had called to the last reviewing!
And the streets Of tho city were white and bar
No football echoed along the square,
But out Of the misty midnight air
heard in the distance q trumpet blare,
And the wandering night-winds seemed to- bes
The sound Of far tattooing.
Then held my breath in fear and dread, b
For into the square, with brazen tread,
There rode figure whose stately head
O'erlooked the parade that morning.
1t never bowed from it's firm-set seat
When the living column passed its feet, u =,
Yet now rode stately up the street \
To the phantom's bugle warning,
Till it reached the capitol square and wheeled
And there in the moonlight stood revealed
A well-known form, that in state and field
Whose face was turned to the sleeping camp
Affair through the rivers fog and damp
That showed no flicker nor waning lamp
Nor wasted bivouac fires.
And saw q phantom army come,
With never q sound of fife or drum,
But keeping time to n throbbing hum
OF wailing and lnlnentation!
The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill,
OF Gettysburg and Charlottesville,
The mon whose wasted figures fill
The patriot graves of tho nation.
And there came nameless dead, the men
Who persisted in fever swamp and fen
The slowly starved of the prison pen!
And, marching beside the others,
Came the dusky martyrs OF Pillows fight
With limbs enfranchised and bearing bright
thought-perhaps twas the pale moonlight
They looked as white as their brothers.
And so, all night marched the nation dead,
With mover q banner above them spread,
Nor u badge nor a motto brandshed
No mark-save the bare uncovered head
OF the silent bronze reviewer
With never an arch save the v;L1llted sky,
With never n flower save those that lie
On the distant graves-for love could buy
No gift that was purer or truer.
So all night long swept the strange array,
So all night long till the morning gray
watched for one who hud passed tway.
With Il reverent awe and wonder,
Till q blue cap waved in the lengtlnins line,
And l knew that one who was kin CT mine
Had come, and spake-,nd 10! tha5 sign
Awakened me from my slumber.

The appearance of Geronimo has
laid at rest many tictions as to his ap-
pearance and condition. A CORE
spondent, who had frequent opportu-
mites of seeing him face to face, says
he is young brave, under thirty, of
handsome figure and fine bearing. He
has never been wounded, and appar-
emily his band would have been good
for many more months of guerrilla
warfare had not their supply of ammu-
milton given out. This account of
Geronimo agrees with the sketch given
by Capt John G. Bourke in his can
Apache Campaign" In that work
Capt. Bourke describes Geronimo,
whom he calls Hieronymo, as one of
the youngest and handsomest of the
Chiricahua Apache chiefs, but one who,
in spite of his youth, exercised great
influence over his companions.

A WRITER in Truth lLondon) relates
that when "Unser Fritz" was guest at
the Tuileries during the exhibition OF
1857 he wished to see the interior Of
the forts around Paris. But as they
were in miserable state of defense, it
was arranged to evade complying with
his wish. he, however, managed in
this wise to do without an order Of adj
mission: For some mornings he made
early excursions to distant places, &C
companied by French aid-de-cam
who was placed at his disposal. One
morning, on his way to the Bicetre
Asylum, he said to the officer: "What
if we run up to the fort beside it?" The
aid-de-camp did not see the harm, and
took him not only into it, but into all
on the south side of Paris. With his
well trained eye the Grown Prince saw
the military poverty Of the land, and
the exact defensive capacities Of the
line of works.
The Carson (Nev.) Appeal is respon-
sible for this snake story: Jake Bel
man, an employe on COINS ranch, went
up into the hills to get some cattle,
when he encountered snake. The
reptile was close to large rock when
he found him, and the rock was fanked
by log. Beiman noticed large hole
at an angle Of the rock and log, for
which the snake made on being sur
prised. Seeing a large rock, he cast it
at the snake, grazing it's body. On re-
ceiving the blow, it turned like light
ming and sprang at its antagonist.
Beiman stumbled over some bushes,
and the snake coiled about him in an
instant. A piece of wood was close to
the mans hand, and reaching for it, he
struck the snake several sharp blows
ON the head. The latter turned and
ran his head into the hole, dragging
Beinan close to it. The man braced
his feet against the rock, but could not
extricate himself, as the snake had
twisted half its body around his left
leg, and, as he afterward said, "was
just squeezing the life out Of it." Bel
man was nearly an hour in this pre-
dicament, until he finally thought of
his knife, and getting it out of his
pocket, jabbed it into the snakes body.
After few cuts the snake became en-
ragged, and began to wriggle its head
out Of the whole. Beiman saw that
his time was short, and made lively
attack on the snakes neck, severing
it. The instant it was severed the neck
rose convulsively in the air and a
spout Of blood came full in the fright
ened mans face. At this point he
tainted away, and he thinks he must
have remained in that condition over
an hour. When he came to the snake
was still coiled around his leg, but
dead. He brought it home, and it is
now on exhibition at the ranch It
measured ten feet eight inches without
the head.

For six years all injunction obtained
at Pittsburgh by the Bessemer Steel
Company has prevented steel being
made in the United States by the basic
process, invented by Jacob Reese. This
injunction has just been dissolved by
the master, who dismisses the bill with
costs to the Bessemer Company. The
company had the effrontery to assume
that its acid process covered Reese's
basic process, an absurdity that might
have been perceived by an industrious
master in less than six years. AS the
ores of the South, containing phos-
phorus, are we'll suited for the basic,
and not for the Bessemer process the
decision dissolving the injunction is of
the first importance to that section.

Moth and Mcmillan Too Evenly
Matched.


There have been so many hippo
dromes In the way of athletic exhibit
tons IN this city that the wrestling
match between Moth and Mcmillan
crew but small audience to the Opera
House last night. Ii was 10 O'Clock
when the men appeared. Mcmillan is
larger than his opponent, weighing le5
pounds. He stands 6 feet and l inch,
and is p years old. Moth. who is a
German by birth, weighs 17s pounds,
stands feet aud is % wears old.
Duncan Mcdonald read the articles
OF agreement, stating that the match
would go 10 the man winning three falls.
The styles were to be twoGrRcO- Roman,
two catch-as-catch can, and in case
each man won two falls. the choice Of
Cornish, side-hold back-hold and col
lar and elbow should be d cided by toss
Mr.. Fitzgerald. the gallant sparrer,
seconded Nc MILAN, Moth being seconded
by Chss. Lang, his trainer. After some
delay. Duncan Mcdonald was agreed
upon as referee, Mcmillan won the toss
and chose catch-aS-catch-can. Time
was called and the match began. After
shaking hands, no time was lost IN get
gang down TO work, and in a few seconds
both men were on the floor. After half
an hour OF tremendous struggling. the
men commenced 10 edge away from
the canvas. No one offered to inter
fere, and, locked firmly together, the
men rolled from the stage into the
space usually occupied by tn orchestra.
AT this juncture time was called. and
the men went to their rooms to In
dulge in atwenty-minute rect. Every
one was highly pleased with the efforts
OF the athletes and the twenty minutes
time was devoted TO q discussion
OF the merits of the two men
When the men appeared for the
second bout, they were heartily
applauced. The struggle which
followed was, if anything, better than
the first. Several times Mcmillan had
his man in such a position that a tall
seemed inevitable, but the willy German
eluded his grasp. Mcmillan was the
more aggressive throughout, but at the
end OF this bout his wind seemed better
than Moths. TIE usual twenty min..
uteS time was given. and at IL so the
men appeared for the third bout 1t
had ben rumored that Marshal
Solomon would stop the match
at u o'clock or at all events
WHEN the half hour had elapsed.
From the manner In which Mcmillan
went for Moth, it was evident that he
intended TO get at least one fall before
the match was stepped. But the half
hour went By and neither man had
been thrown, and at 1920 Marshal Sol
ONION stepped on the stage and ordered
the men 10 stop. Both men announced
their willingness to continue until
morning u need be, but the referee set
tied the matter by announcing that the
match woulu be continued Monday
night, at the same place, and II either
man failed to be in the ring at $50 he
would lose the match.
The match is undoubtedly ION the
square," and the men are so evenly
matched that q splendid exhibition is
sure TO be & ven on Monday night.
