THE 9th AND seth OHIO
AT the Rattle OF Parker,s CrOssroad

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: As l have
never seen an account Of the battle of Parkers
Crossroads in your columns, will make an at
tempt to tell what / know of it and the part
taken by two regiments of the Ohio Brigade
the eth and seth Ohio.
During Grants first expedition against yicks-
burg our brigade had reached Oxford, Miss
when news was received that Van Dorm had
made raid and destroyed our supplies at
Holly Springs. The 9th and seth Ohio board
ed the train about midnight, and were sent
back past Holly Springs until break was
found in the railroad. Here we were unloaded
and sent across the country in search of the
rebels who had done the damage in our rear
The 122d H., 59th Ind. and sd Iowa soon
joined us. We struck the trail of the rebel
Gen. Forrest and followed him about 80 days
the hardest marching l ever did. We caught
sight of him but once or twice until we reached
Parker's Crossroads, northeast of CoTinth, near
the Tennessee River, and not far from the old
battle-ground of Pittsburg Landing There, foI
some reason, our force had been divided, and
the two sections were about 10 miles apart
Forrest learning this, fell upon the section con-
tanning the 122d H., 59th Ind. and SD Iowa.
INTENDING To oVERPowER IT
before aid could come. We of the 9th and
39th Ohio, composing the other section, heard
distant firing at daylight, and were immedI-
atey ordered to march. We set out at good
dog-trot, the sound of battle growing nearer and
nearer until about 10 o'clock, when we reached
the foot of hill beyond which the fight wa:
in progress Col. Fuller, commanding our sec
ton, rode to the crest of the hill that over
looked the battlefield. He Immediately gal
Hoped back and ordered our column to left
oblique, so as to leave the. road unobstructed
for our battery, which, as soon as it reached
the top of the hill, unlimbered and began firing
/ We were filed to the left into battle-line ano
! were ordered to charge. A scene of destruction
/ presented itself in front of US. The dead ant
wounded were lying thick on the ground, fol
/ there had been desperate fight that morning
! The I22d H., seth Ind. and 32d Iowa, though
/ greatly outnumbered, still held their GROUND
! bTavely.
Our sudden appearance seemed to surpris'
/ the rebels, and when they saw our bayOnet
/ flashing on the crest of the ridge they though
/ they had better leave, which they did, leaving
/ six guns and number of prisoners in on,
/ hands. We pursued them to the bank of thu
/ Tennessee River, but they succeeded in gettin!
! across and by destroying the bridge escaped. b.
/ the time we reached the river the rain begaI
/ to fall IN torrents, and we had to march bacl
/ from the river bank through mud and waite
knee-deep, and the night as dark as pitch. !
was so muddy and dark that three of our regi
ment fell down and lost their guns. / tell yol
we were tired and hungry when we went int
/ camp that night, as we had marched all da.
with nothing TO eat since daylight.-PERRI

The city of Cleveland, Ohio is bankrupt.
There is about $3.50, 900 belonging to the
city deposited in O half dozen banks, but
the bondsmen of Thomas Axwortby, the de.
faulting treasurer, have attached it and the
result is the city is bankrupt. Kaufman
Hayes, member of the council, has been
placed in charge of the Office, and will con.
tinue to act as treasurer until Axworthy's
successor is elected. At present there is only
$4,000 in the city's vaults, and when that
is paid out the treasurer's Office will be closed
for financial repairs. It has been discovered
that Axworthv arrived in Montreal on the
night of the 8Oth of September from New
York, and registered under his proper name
at St. Lawrence hail. He left on Oct. 2, it is
believed, by Western Pacific train. While
in Montreal he consulted Mr. Geoffrinn, @.
C., who informed him that his offense was
extraditable.

The Minister'S Wife.

"And are we to expect nothing
from a minister's wife," said Miss
Lane in a very subdued voice.
Nothing more than her duty as a
woman. If she has qualities that
will give hera leading social influence,
and has time to spare from her home
duties, which are always first, she
ought to let these qualities become
active for good. But no more can,
withjustice, be required of any other
woman in the congregation. Your
contract for service is with her hus-
band, and not with her; and you
have no more claim upon her time,
nor right to control her freedom,
than you have over the wife of your
lawyer, doctor or school-master.
eff you think my services absolutely
essential to the prosperity of the
church, just state the amount of
salary you can afford to give, and
if, for the sum, can procure any
person in every way as competent
as myself to assume the charge ofmy
children and household, l will take
into serious cosideration your propo-
sition. Beyond this, ladies, l can
promise nothing.
II could wish," she continued, in a
lower voice." to number you all as
my friends. I have come among you
only as a stranger, seeking no pre-
eminence, but desiring to do my
duty as woman. The fact that my
husband is your Minister gives me
of right no position among you, and
gives you no right to demand of me
nny public service. If my husband
ia lis in his duty, admonish him; but
in the name of justice and humanity
do not establish any supervision
over me. Let my private life be as
sacred from intrusion as that of any
other woman. This / have a right
to demand, and / will be satisfied
with nothing less. "-Woman's Maya

Before and After.

A few days ago as a Ridge Road
car was coming up Lake Avenue, the
driver stopped on being signaled by
young man on a crossing not far
from Driving Park Avenue, says the
Rochester Democrat. The young
man was accompanied by rather
pretty young woman, who was
dressed in a light gray attire, and
carried a fancy colored sun parasol.
The young man jumped aboard the
car first, and rushed inside, securing
the only seat vacant, leaving the
young woman to follow as best she
could. OF course every one expected
that he would give up his seat to
his lady, but he did not do so
and she, after standing while, hold
ing on to strap, concluded to have
a seat anyway: and, without a word
of warning, pumped down on the
lap OF her escort, saying, as she did
SO: ''Tm as tired as you are, darling,
and you will have to hold me until l
get seat"
He gave grunt of the hog kind
and told her in plain English that
she could stand or sit on the floor
for all he cared, but he would not
hold her." At this several male oc-
cupants of the car offered their seats
to the young woman but she de-
clined Their offers and said: HE is
as able to hold me now as he was be-
fore we were married, and Twill sit here
where am" The passengers were
UP to this time silently smothering
their laughter, but the last was too
much for them, and one remarked:
"The car will be thrown off the track
if we don't stop laughing so hard"
Realizing the fact that he was max
ing a target of himself, the young
man rose hastily, saying as he did SO
"You take my seat; I'll walk home,"
and let the car. The wife was not
dismayed in the least, but sat there
quietly enjoying the fun as well as
did the rest of the passengers.

A party of American gentlemen,
who had been camping out on an
island in the great Lake Nipissing,
Canada. last summer, were returning
in q sail-boat and were yet seven
miles from port when the sun went
down, and with it the sailing breeze.
A discouraging situation, truly.
"Never mind, / can row you there
inside of two hours" said the guide
who had charge of the party, as
their murmurs arose.
"Why, man, it is seven miles, there
are four of us in this heavy boat-its
n big job you undertake." said one.
mo matter, l have done the likes
before and can do it again." cheer
fully replied the broad-shouldered
Irishman, as he slowed away the
sail and bent to the oars. He was
a splendid oarsman and the boat
was soon under Roadway again.

Eyes, l went twenty miles through
the bush to see a doctor; he gave me
some medicine, but it didn't help me
much"
GLOW was the cure effected?"
Gan old Scotch lady, who had come
over from the States, gave me a prep
aration of balsams and herbs, which
she said the early settlers in America
used, and it soon stopped my cough
and put me on my feet again"
One has but to travel along the
frontier to learn how easy it is to get
along without doctors, and how ef-
fective are the natural remedies which
the old grandmothers know how to
prepare. They often cure where the
best physicians fail.
Every mother of a family knows
how coughs and colds are quickly
and radically cured with syrups and
teas made from balsams and herbs
which grandmother taught us how
to make.'
Warmers Log Cabin cough and
consumption remedy was, after long
investigation into the merits and
comparison with other old time
preparations, selected from them be-
cause proved to be the very best OF
them all. 1t has brought back the
roses to many a pallid cheek-there
is no known remedy it's equal as a
cure for coughs and colds.

He Saved His Neck
From the Norfolk Landmark.

From the Norfolk Landmark.
We can vouch for a remarkable
"find' in the case Of a gallat Federal
officer, of Brookline, Mass, upon
visiting one ofthe battlefields around
Richmond some fourteen years after
the war, traced up the fomerlocation
Of his command and found the neck
of a champagne bottle, with which
was connected little incident OF
these string times. The bottle,
with it's exhilarating contents, had
been carefully watched over and
saved tor some time previous to the
battle, for the purpose of "celebrat-
ing the event" when Richmond was
captured. A sudden dash of Con-
tederates, however, changed the pro-
posed program, and headquarters
had to be hastily abandoned,
but not before the neck had been
knocked off the precious bot
tie and it's contents put beyond
the reach of the attacking Confeder-
ates. The officer mentioned above
has since had the neck made into q
handsome ornament for his office
table, and naturally prizes it very
highly on account Of the peculiar
associations connected with it.
