Buell. on Shiloh.

General Buell's contribution to the
Century Magazine for March, is a
paper that will not make peace on
the subject of the greatly disputed
battle. 1t opens with this paragraph:
Twenty-three years ago the banks OF
the Tennessee witnessed a remarkable
occurrence. There was a wage OF
battle. Heavy blows were giveas and
received, and the chanllenger failed TO
make his cause good. But there were
peculiar circumstances which distin-
guished the combat from other trials
of strength in the rebellion: An army
comprising seventy regiments ofinfan-
try, twenty batteries of artillery and
q ~suficiency of cavalry lay for two
weeks and more in isolated camps,
with a river in its rear and a hostile
army claimed to be superior in num-
bers twenty miles distant in its front,
while the commander made his head
quarters and passed his nights nine
miles away on the opposite side OF
the river. 1t had no line or order OF
battle, no defensive works of any sort,
no outposts, properly speaking, to
give warning or check the advance of
an enemy, and no recognized head
during the absence of the regular
commander. On a Saturday the hos
tile force arrived and formed in order
of battle, without detection or him
drance, within a mile and a half of
the unguarded army, advanced upon
it the next morning, penetrated it's
disconnected lines, assaulted it's camps
in front and flank, drove its disjointed
members successfully from position
to position, capturing some and rout-
ing others, in spite of much heroic
Individual resistance, and steadily
drew near the landing and depot OF
supplies in the pocket between the
river and an impossible creek. At
the moment near the close of the
day when theremnant oftheretr grad
ing army was driven to refuge IN the
midst of its magazines, with the trium-
plant enemy at half-gunshot distance,
the advance division of q reinforcing
army arrived on the opposite bank OF
the river, crossed, ard took position
under fire at the point of attack; the
attacking force was checked, and the
battle ceased for the day. The next
morning a tdawn the reinforcing army
and a fresh division belonging to the
defeated force advanced against the
assailants, followed or accompanied
| by such of the broken columns of the
previous day as had not lost oil
cohesion, and after ten hours ofcon-
Aict drova tha enenlv from tha cant.

Duclling Almost Discarded.

Says carp" in the Cleveland Leader:
1.-THE code duello has passed into
history. It's use is discarded in even
the southern states, butnowa and then
here at Washington you will meet a
man who will tell you that the world
is the worse from it's loss. / know
half q dozen old stagers about Wash
ington who mourn the decline of duel
ing, and one ] havein my mind who has
been the second in many duels and
who was associated with JEFF. Davis
in one who thinks all the chivalry and
courtliness of the American gentleman
dropped out of sight with the decline
OF the code. Still there are a number
of men in public life to-day who have
fought duels, and there are not a few
who have accepted and received chal-
lenges. Senator Joe Brown and Bob
Toombs came almost as near fighting
a duel as did Moody and Heffren.
Senator Riddleberger and Represen-
tative Wise have shot at each other
under the code. Senator Sherman
expected to receive O. challenge from
the man whom heinsulted by throwing
aboxo Of waters in his face nearly thirty
years ago, and esen now when there
is an excitement in the house and
hard words are uttered, the old stagers
about the hotels wonder whether a
duel may not occur. Norman, however
can hold up the code to-day and
retain the applause of the public. A
generation more, and the old stagers
will have passed away, and the day oil
dueling will take its place with that oil
Indian fighting, among the horrible
things of the forgotten"

II | love you every day,
As the sun goes down the west,
Then you1l know my passions sway
Rules for ever without rest.
II | love you every hour,
As q river flowing strong,
Then you'll know my passions power
Cannot hall be told in song.
II l love you every minute,
As the clouds float in the sky.
You'n be sure there's something in it.
Though you can't, perhaps, tell why.
II / love you every second,
As | draw each signing breath,
Then you'll know it can't be reckoned-
This love that lasts till death.
But ! love you all the time
AZ the seas eternal rock:
So | need not say in rhyme
That my love don't want a clock.

The entertainments given by Mrs.
Secretary Whitney are said to rival
anything before seen in Washington.
1t is estimated that her receptions
cost $2,5OOa week. g'he story goes
that Colonel Oliver Payne gave Mrs.
Whitney his check for half a million
not many months : and told his
sister that the money was not Tor her
to keep, but to spend for the enter
tainment Of her friends. The recep-
tions given by the Whitneys and the
Letters are a little ahead OF almost
anything in the line yet seen in the
National Capitol.

not only where every locomotive is, but
the name of the man running it, the

A snvant named Henri Roget, mailing
from Lyons, has a new use for electric
ity. He has a patent to apply it as a
substitute for the cat-o'-nine-tails in cor
poral punishment. The culprit having
been undressed is securely strapped to a
steel triangle, which is connected with
ono pole Of apowerful battery. The other
pole is connected with the whip, which
consists Of a number of steel wires COW
cred with sponge. This whip is dipped
in water before the stroke is admins
tered, and wherever the wet wires touch
an electric discharge takes place.
The inventor claims that the chastise-
ment car be made so mild as not 10 in
jure a schoolgirl, while on the other
hand, by increasing the power Of the
battery, a punishment can be admins
tered beside which the knout would be
mere child's play, and at the same time
no injury is inflicted, the disgusting
spectacle OF a lacerated ZACH is avoided,
