who was there. and gave him n desorip-

the idea. He shut himself up in his room,
wrote poem that afternoon, had his
wife make a copy, and sent 1t over to
Murdock's house as soon as IL was done,
to see how he liked il. Murdock was very
much pleased, and that night read the
poem at the theatre between the acts. So

Nc more interesting spectacle was ever

VII ct Was presented by the schooner Ida
g. Schoolcraft, yesterday, as she lay at
anchor in the Delaware river. She was
pronounced by ole sea faring men TO be
as comp piete a wreck as was ever lowed
into this port. The vessel passed thaough
a terrible ex xperience in having been del.
uged by a water spout, and during tho
trying ordeal, j. F. Tilleuden, the m ate,
WAS killed, and his body was after ward
buried at sea.

Der thas not cnly filled the lower hold

on the upper deck. At the beginning of
our voy age, We could not have asked finer
weather. When We had come wi hin
short distance of Cape Hatterss tho wind
stiff. ned up considerably and gave prom
ise of Just such weather as nav.gatofs tx
pecs TO find in the Hatteras shoals. We
were standing off about eighty miles
southeast of the cape when VIC sighted a
water spous travelling toward the south
| eas. with terrific force. There was not a
man aboard that did not understand the
| fuil meaning of the dread visitation, but
suddenly, before We had even time to
collect our thoughts, we were at its mercy
In an instant almost, the course OF the
huge, dense column of water was turned
in the direction of oor vessel. Ii kept
ascending and descending like the move

schooner. As we stood there the immer Sc
volums of water broke right over us with
a terrific report, and OF m pletely nguifed
Us. The wafer fairly came down in seas,

| filed the cabin and deck houses, and it
was a miraculous thing that all hands did

/ could discern tho sea boiled like a seeth-
ing caluron. When the storm subs stded
We found that our main mast, nearly the

whole upper rigging, as you can see had
been swept away by the terrific force Of
the spout.
Capt. Booy said that the mate was
standing on the deckload when th. storm
struck the schooner. He vas knocked
down to the deok, falling only few feet,
but the force of the blow was go great
that when picked up he was dead. His
body was consigned TO the deep on the

A Veteran Tells What the War Was Like.

Frank Gaisnnic, of St. Louis, said to a
Chicago News reporter: "You boys who
have grown up since the war have an ide
that those four years between Bull RIM
and the general smash up were sort OF
long drawn-out picnic. Those of Is who
vent through il know different. For in
stance, happened to be inside of Vicks-
burg when you Yankees were playing
arouRd the outside. We were in the out
or works pretty close 20 the Federal! lines
and just beyond tha place where one of
the cemeteries had been established. A
gres. many dead bodies had been buried
there from the hospitals and from the
front One night ws suddenly discovered
that the Federals had got battery into
position Just where IL would rake rs in
the morning, and we had to get back and
throw mp @ new line of earthworks at righ
angles to our former position. or course
the trenches went right through the grave
yard. and bodies which had been buried
for weeks were uncovered.
There was no time to do anything with
them at alive could hardly get them
ous of the way-and there we lay for &
day and night in as hot weather as this
Is now, with the decaying corpses all
about us and the F-derals pounding al
us at short range, and with nothing for
US to do but stay right where we we're and
hold on. We thought il Was pretty bad
when we found out that there was no
chloraform in the hospitals, but that time
in the trenches was something that none
of us will forget. And it is little things
Of that sort that makes those of us who
went through the mill the most peace

SHERIDAS'S RIDE.
The Generals Story Of How Buchanan Reas
Wrote the Poem.

The Generals Story Of How Buchanan Read
Wrote the Poem.
1t has been my habit, during tho thir-
teen years have en- oy ed an acquaintance
with General Sheridan, to keep memor-
andum OF interviews with him, and have
Lotes full of his conversations, rsminisen-
css on tho subject which old soldiers never
do and never should tire of talking-the
war of the rebellion. He always spoke
freely to me and has permitted me to
publish a great deal OF What he said,
always, however, with the condition that
il it were written in the form of an inter.
view he should be allowed to revise the
report of his words. He did not like
newspaper notorioty-few men debut
he was as fond as any body of seeing the
good things he said and did spok en- well
of in the newspapers. IL was not vanity,
but he took much pride in his achieve
ments, and IL they we're accurately de.
scribed and lntelligently discussed he
always enjoyed what people said and
thought of him. Within the last year or
two, however, he has been preparing his
book, and has not been so desirous OF
having his "reminiscences published. Ere
quently when relating some aLscdote tc
me he would say:
"Nov don't put that in your paper, foi
/ am just getting ready 10 print in my
book"
While engaged in the preparation oil
this book his mind was constantly upor
the past, aud he enjoyed fighting his bat
ties over again. One of the most inter
estirg interviews / ever had with him wa,
about Reads poem, "Sheridan's Ride"
happened to be in the cars with him, ant
showed him paragraph which described
the recitation of ''Sneridan's Ride" by III
actor at some theatrical bsnefis. asked
him il ne ever met Read.
"Yes," he replied; II know him we'll.
first met him before the battle of Stone
river. He Was a quest at the headq uarters
! of General Rosencrans, and stayed with III
a good while"
"Do you know how he happened se
| write it!"
sAMxs Y. MuRDocx's SUGGESTION.
"Yes. have heard him tell about il q
great many times. There are number
of stories floating around, but I'll Civ.
| you the true one, as Read told it to me
james +. Murdock suggested tho idea"
"Murdock, the elocutionirt"
"Yes, he vas an actor at one of the Gin
cinnati theatres at the time, and grea'
friend of mine. He lost son at the battle
of Missionary Ridge-Murdoek, did--snc
