 Alter we had secured the opening of line over which to bring our sup plies to the army, I made a personal inspection to see tho situation Of the pickets cf lhe two armies. A5 have stated, Chattanooga Creek comes down the centre of the valley 10 with in mile of Chattanooga, then bears off westerly, then northwestcrly, and enters the Tennessee River at the foot of Lookout Mountain. This creek, from it's mouth tip to where it bears off west, lay between tl:e two lines of pickets, and the guards of both armies dfe@ their water from the same stream. As I would be under short range fire ard,in an ePen eosln try, I took nobody with me, except, be- lieve, bugler, who stayed ome dist aroe to the rear. l rode from our right around to our left. WhenI came to the camp of the picket guard uf our side heard the call, Turn cut the guard for the commanding gen eral' I replied, Never mind the guard" and they were dismissed and went Back to their tents. Just back of these; and about eqnaIly distant from the creek, were the guards of the Confederate pickets. The sentinel on their post called out in like man ner, "Turn out the guard for the commanding general" and, believe, added General Grant" Their line in moment front-faced 10 the north, facing me, and gave salute, which I returned.
 The most friendly relations seemed to exist between the pickets of the two armies. At one place there was q tree which had fallen across the stream, and which was used by the soldiers of both armies in drawing water for their camps. General Long streets corps was stationed there qt the time, and wore blue of little different shade from our uniform. Seeing a soldier in blue on this log:I rode up to him, commenced conyers- ing with him and asked whose corps he belonged to. He was very polite, and, touching his hat-to. ne, said he i belonged to General Longstreet's corps. I asked him few questions but not with view 10 gaining any particular information--lll Of which he answered, and l rode off.

ON THE 1sTHMUs OF PANAMA.
The Most Unhealthy Place on the Face of the Globe-A Grave.


 Face of the GlObe-A Grave.
 Key West Cor Detroit Free Press.l
 The isthmus has the reputation of being one of the most unhealthy places upon the face of the globe. In fact, i do not believe that locality can be found where the nor tality is as great for the same number of in- labitants. When the Panama railroad was being constructed it is stated that it cost a life for every tie. The ties are of ebony, and holes must be driven in them with augurs before the spikes can be driven. There are four spikes to each tie, and the records show that the life of one man was sacrificed for ev- cry hole in the ties. One can gaze on this stretch of railroad only with the reflection that it is living record of blood and death.
 The town itself is a city of the dead and dying There is never day but what you can see some one in coffin with two negroes staggering under the load. The dead are buried in large cemetery known as Monkey Hill. The remark of the street peddler, .sHere to-day and somewhere else to nor row." has been changed in Panama to ''Here to-day and Monkey Hill tomorrow"
 People here die unknown, and it will not be until after the burial that friends learn of the demise. The death rate aver ages from four to twenty-five per day, Per hapS two or these eacn Qay are placed In rude cheap coffins and given Christian burial The others are called by the natives sdumps." When say dumps" allude to those bodies picked up in the streets. I saw one of such corpses lifted from a gutter a few days ago and thrown into rough box. Placing this upon wagon the driver was ordered to proceed to Monkey Hill cemetery the New Mount Hope cemetery, but all ways called by the former name. followed the simple funeral cortege to the grave. The box was placed at the edge of the cavity dug in the cemetery. The grave is a monstrous affair, capable of holding eight or ten bodies. The man who appeared to superintend the work said ''let go," and the two negroes let the coffin or box slide into the opening. They continue this operation until six or eight bodies are placed in the grave, when the top is covered with earth.

 NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Shortly before 8 o'clock yesterday morning the widow Of General Hancock entered the room in which the dead man lay and took last parting look. Mrs. Hancock's grief was pitiful. As she kissed the face her scalding tears rained fast on the cold clay despite heroic efforts at sslf-command But for the kind ly offices of the attending ladies she would have sweoned away in dead faint. The coffin lid was then put in its place and g laurel wreath brought to this city by Col onel John H. Weeks from the Philadelphia division of the military order of the Loyal legion was laid upon it. The remains were then taken aboard the Chester A. Arthur and at 9:15 were landed at the barge office. The mourners were Lieutenant and Mrs. Griffin, MT. and Mrs. Merriam, Mr.. and Mrs. Bouvier, Colonel Russell and wife and Mrs. w. F. Ludlow. Mrs. Hancock, by the advice of her friends, did not leave home. Mrs. Bouvier remained with her. The funeral procession was a simple one.

The AInhabefS. A

Prof A. H. Sayee in Contemporary Review.1
 In the struggle for existence the Latin
 alphabet alone survived among it's Italian
 compeers, and was carried by the extension
 of the Roman empire through the length and
 breadth of western Europe. Most of our
 modern European alphabets it's direct
 offspring. It is only in eastern Europe,
 more especially in Russia, that it's Greek
 mother and subsequent rival has stood it's
 ground, and even there the present century
 has witnessed the triumph of the Roman char
 acters in Slavonic countries over alphabets
 of Greek origin. It is possible that a time
 will come when the Roman characters will
 triumph likewise even over alphabets which
 ent of the Greek alphabet itself, It is no
 longer doubtful that the immense majority,
 if not the whole, of the alphabets used in the
 East are descended like the alphabets of
 the West, from the alphabet of Phonieia. We can trace the successive gradations by which the letters of the inscriptions of Mesha or the Siloam tunnel became the flowing characters of Palmyrene epigraphy and the running hand of Aramaic papyri, and from the Palmyrene characters it is but a single step to the square Hebrew of the modern Jews. Even the Neshi Arabic alphabet which, in spite of it's manifold imperfection has been made the vehicle of Persian and Turkish literature as well as of the thoughts of the vast Arabic-speaking world, can be shown to have the same origin, like the Syriae, which was the parent of the vertic- ally written Mongolian and Mantchu. In fact, it is difficult to find any alphabet which cannot be affiliated to the Phenieian wide ly different as the two may have become both in the forms of the letters and in the values that they bear. Intermediate forms are continually being discovered, which l bridge over enormous distances and explain the transitions that time and space have | effected. Even the Devanagari alphabet or Sankrit, whatever disputes there may be | as to it's exact pedigree, is generally allowed l to be of Phoenician origin. With the excep- cient Persans, and possibly one or two | more which may yet Turk in obscure corners l of the world, all the alphabets of which we | know are derived. ultimately, from single source. Utterly diverse they are in their | latest forms, the jealous enthusiasm of l paleographists and inscription hunters has l succeeded in restoring them to their earlier 1 shapes, in filling up the intervals which sep l arste them from each other, and in showing l that they are all but the manifold develop l ments of single germ. The history of the alphabet, in short. like the history of its l origin is but an illustration of the doctrine 1 of evolution on large and easily tested
 scale. Scientific photography ," to use again the words of Dr. Taylor, "rests on the 1 assumption that alphabetic changes are l ever accidental or arbitrary, former 1 ly assumed, but are the result of evolution l taking place in accordance with fixed laws :"

 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 14.-A horrible case of suicide took place twenty miles west of this city this afternoon. The wife of Henry T. Kirk, well-todo farmer, had been consid- cred of sound mind until recently, when she began to show signs of alteration. She was not thought to be dangerous, however. Yes terday she was about the house with the children all the morning, but about dinner time she went out into a shed, and, empty ing & can of coal oil over head and clothes, applied a match. She was instantly envel- oped in flames, but she stood without finch ing until the neighbors, alarmed by the cries of the children, ran to her assistance and subdued the flames, not, however, until she terribly and fatally burned. She sur vived in great agony until midnight, when death came to her relief. She was about forty years of age

Great Damage to the Mills.

WooNsocKET, R. l., Feb. 14.-It is esti- mated that the damage in Woorsocket to mill stock, machinery, waterworks and streets will amount to $7O,000. The only mail since Friday evening was one from Worcester at o'clock yesterday morning. Trains are running on the main line of the New York and New England railroad to-day by using the Woonsocket division from Mill River Junction to Woensocket and using the Providence and Worcester road from Woon- socket to Blackstone for west bound trains and reversing the order for east bound. The damage on the Providence and Worcester road is large, the road bed having been wash ed away in several places. Large gangs of men are at work along the track. The greatest damage is at Lonsdale where the road bed is washed away for over che thou sand feet. The water in the Blackstone river has fallen two feet since morning.

HEAVY RAINS AND DEEP FLOODS.
 Hundreds of ThousAnds Caused by
 the Angry Torrents.
 BOSTON, Feb 1.-The area at Roxbury flooded by the overflow of Stony brook is constantly increasing. The water has risen over foot since yesterday and through some streets the current rushes at the rate of ten miles an hour. Two square miles of the city are now under water from two to eight feet The section covered is nearly oblong in shape and is bounded by Norfolk House Hill on the southwest, Northampton street on the north east, Shawmut avenue on the southeast and the Boston and Providence railroad on the northwest, the two latter constituting the sides of the oblong. The source of the flood is the bursting of the confines of Stony brook near Norfolk House Hill. From that point the flood has steadily progressed toward the center of the city proper. It has passed Arnold street, the old Roxbury boundary, and now just reaches Northampton street in the south end. The cellars and in many in- stances the first stories of buildings are now flooded. In many low sections houses are
 
 hundred families are more or less affected and conservative estimate of the loss so far to buildings and stock is S500,000. The ter ritory drained by Stony brook comprises many square miles in Jamaica Plain and Roxbury and the snow and surface water must all be added to the volume of the flood before the latter can abate. At one point near Franklin Park there is a lot of fifty acres covered with water three feet deep, all of which must flow of through Stony brook. The Mayor, police commissioners and other city officials are in constant activity estab fishing depots of supply and arranging for the relief of the homeless and destitute. A large share of the inhabitants of the flooded district are still living in the upper stories of their houses waiting for the food to abate. They only be reached by boats Many narrow escapes from drowning have oc- cured Probably one hundred thousand people have visited the flooded quarters to- day and the streets ill that vicinity have been black with humanity and well nigh impas- II I.

A House COlIaPses And a Number of
 Persons Buried in the Ruins.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 14.-About ? o'clock this afternoon the three story brick dwelling 1,225 Lawrence street collapsed without warning, burying the occupants in mass of brick. mortar, timbers and broken furniture. From out the ruins came the cries and groans of those who were imprisoned beneath. As soon as the cloud of dust had cleared away hundreds of willing hands lent their aid tc- wards the rescue and soon had all the injured in place of safety. The front portion of the building was occupied by William Hungerbuler, his wife, six children and boarder, and the rear by John Spiegel- holder and his daughter Margaret. At the time of the crash MT. Hungerbuler and two were inside and were carried to the cellar with the ruins. Mrs. Hungerbuler was found wedged tightly against the stove and was severely but not dangerously burn ed. The daughter Annie, aged eleven, was caught under falling joist and badly in jured about the head and back. Baby William was asleep at the time, but capped injury by the headboard covering the cradle in it's fall. Mary Spiegelholder and a young man named Dsrman were both caught by falling bricks and the girl was severely injured about the head, but Dorman escaped with confused hip. The house has been considered unsafe for some time. The foundation appeared to be gradually sinking and it is presumed that the collapse was caused by the frost coming out and the ground rendered soft by the rains. The house immediately adjoining the north was badly damaged and is in dangerous condition. The occupants have removed to a place of safety.

 Sons of the Ex.conv1et
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Ths story of Edwin Edward and Edward Edwin Blythe, foundrymen of London, who claim to be the legitimate sons of Thomas H. Blythe, the deceased millionaire, is published in the Chronicle. They state that they are his sons by his first wife. Their father married again after his first wife's death, and then, while his second was alive, bigamously married third woman. For this offence he was trans ported to Van Dieman's Land. After serv ing five years he was released and came to this State, where he accumulated a fortune of S5, ,000, ,000. There are already about two hundred claimants to the deceased's estate, who are scattered in England, Australia and different parts of the United States. The claim of the two foundrymen has been placed in the hands of an attorney in this city.
