AN IRON Box.CAR.
The Only War Relic OF its Kind In the
Country.

Country.
Perhaps the only solid iron box-car in
the Southern States to-day is now in use
regularly on the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railroad. 1t was built by
the United States Government more than
twenty-five years ago, and, Judging from
present appearances it will be used for
twenty-five years more. Au
This relic is constructed of heavy boiler
iron, with doors ofthe same matoria and
was used TO transport powder and am
. munition along the line of road between
Nashville and the South, to the Federal
troops and stations. II afforded perfect
safety TO its contents from those terrors,
the Tennessee bushwhackers, who would
be along the side of the track and fire upon
occupants Of every train. Their bull
lets fell harmlessly from the sides
of the ironclad, and for four long years of
strife and boodshed this old travelling
magazine logged along calmly and
serenely through the thickest of the fight,
perfectly indifferent 10 all attacks that
were made upon it. After following the
army all over the South and fulfilling
its mportant.mission al the close Of the
war IL was sold to the present owners. IL
was used Ivy them MS baggage car on
the Shelbyvllle branch for about fifteen
years. Since then it has had a checkered
career running as an extra. baggnge car
on the main line, as freight car on the
different branches, and Mt last il was
placed ON the Lebanon branch about
three years ago, where IL runs regularly
at the present time. Could this old fel-
low speak what an experience he could
relate II is, perhaps, tlie'only relic of
the kind in the country, aud hts veteran
friends say, in token OF past services
should be boughtby the Government and
placed in the National Museum, where,
doubtless it would be very attractive
