6fth Mississippi Regiment, Hoods Brig.
ade, Clebnrne's Division, is in the city,

tain Sloan was one of the worst wounded
soldiers of the late war. Commanding
his company of brave Mississippians he
went into the terrible battle of Chicks-
mauga on the evening ofsaturday, Sept
19, 1868. When the battle was renewed
on the following morning, Sunday, he
was stricken down by shell which ex.
ploded near him, and his lower jaw was
torn off. The wound was Of such a fright
tul nature that he was left upon the field
as one whose condition vas hopeless.
Though unable to speak, he could hear
the opinion of the surgeons as to the
condition Of his case. He laid upon the
ground until the following day, when
friends removed him to a country house
in rear of the Confederate lines, and
there he remained until the following
Tuesday morning without surgical aid and
without food or water-a period of fully
sixty hours after the time of wounding.
A local physician was called to attend
him, and food for the sustenance of life
was administered through tube. By
careful! nursing he recovered, but never
since has he been able to take anything
but liquid food, and this through tube fed
from cup, which he carries fastened to
the lapel of his coat, He has just been
to New York aud Philadelphia consult
ing with eminent physicians, who give
him great encouragement to hope for an
improvement in his condition if he will
submit to their treatment. The Captain
wears pouch which hides the lower half
of his face. He is fine looking man,
veil proportioned, and of cultivate d.
mind. He has wife and two daughters.
He had four brothers. three of whom per-

Men who were we'll Wounded.

There are two soldiers living in Geor-
gia to day who were very badly in the
way of the flying shot and shell during
the war, judging by their wounds.
One f these men is Joseph NJ. McCon-
nell, OF Gordon County, q member Of
Phil Cooks brigade, and the .other is
George A. Cadle, OF Richmond County,
both of whom have applied for pensions.
Mr.. Mcconnell says at the battle of
Malvern Hill in July, 1862, he was shot
through the left groin.
At Charlottesville, Mays, 1868, he
was shot in the left arm and above the
elbow, fracturing the bone and making
the joint useless.
In the battle of the Wilderness, March
5, 1854, he was shot through both legs.
In the valley of Virginia, in 1864, be
was shot in the side, two ribs being frac.
tured, gangrene settling in thu wound.
At the battle of Fort Stedmau, March
25th, 1866, be vas shot in the left leg
above the knee, amputation being neces.
sary to save his life.
This wound paralyzed the nerve to his
left eye and it went out. His right eye
was also affected and he can see but little
with that.
Mr.. McConnell's pension will amount
to one hundred and fifty dollars year.
Mr.. Cadle received his wound at the
battle of South Mountain, Maryland, on
the 14th of September, 1862. he vas in
Howell Cobb's brigade.
A minnie ball came along and hit him
in the groin, going through. Another
minnie struck him on the left leg, below
the knee, breaking out five or six inches
of the large bone and fracturipg the small
bone.
Another minnie ball went through his
right arm above the elbow, breaking the
bone; bombsbell hit him on the shoul-
der, dislocating it and breaking several
bones; a minnie ball went through mis-
left hand, breaking the middle finger; q
bombshell struck him in tie left leg
below the knee and fragments ofanother
bomb made several scalp wounds on his
head.
Both his leg are substantially useless,
as are also bis right arm and his left
hand.

Fifty Years ago.

1t is fair to say no young people
understand the difficulties 10 which the
Americans of the first half of century
lived and worked from the variation of
currency in the different states. Very
oiiea bill Of an Illinois bank would not
circulate in New England. You
had to take it to a broker, and pay,
perhaps, ten per cent. of its value, in
exchange for bills, which would circulate.
This difficulty was removed when, in the
frat year of the civil war, Mr.. Chase,
with the authority of Congress, intro.
duced national bank system. Nobody
cares now whether his greenback is
issued in Illinois, or in Oregon, or in
New York. What young readers may
not have noticed is that bank bills are
much less used than they were of neces.
sity in those days, aud, indeed, that
money, as a medium of trade, is less
handled than it was then. The change
comes from the telegraph. And the
illustration, which take from the expe-
rience of our own States, applies pre-.
cisely to the commerce of the. world.
s If 8 traveller went from Boston to
Illinois in the year 1885, perhaps to buy
wool in Ohio, in Indiana, or Illinois, he
would have taken, perhaps, belt con-
tanning silver dollars to the full amount
which he wanted to use, Perhaps he
would take New England bank bills.
The New England banks had invented q
system of mutual exchange, which gave
their bills a somewhat national reputa.
ton. If he could get them he would
take the bills of the United States bank
in Philadelphia. But this bank and all
other banks in the country failed in the
year 1887. For some time, then, it was
most difficult thing to remit money or
"value" from one part of the nation to
another. Indeed, that difficulty alone
showed that it was not yet "nation." /"
You can imagine the anxiety, the real
danger and the difficulty connected with
carrying SO much money, which could be
stolen at any time of day or night.
All this is now changed. Let pur.
chaser travel north, south, east, or west,
if he takes fifty dollars with him he is
amply provided for a journey of what
ever length, or for purchases however
large. BE has simply to carry with him
some letters by which, in any large town
in the country, he may identify himself
Suppose he arrived at Duluth and makes
a purchase; he wishes to pay at once; he
goes to some banker in Duluth and gives
his name, and shows letter of introduc.
ton from banker in Boston; this letter
has on it his own autograph; if he is an
entire stranger, he verifes himself by
reproducing this autograph for the
Duluth banker. He offers to the Duluth
banker his own check on Boston bank
The Duluth man then asks the Boston
bank if this check is "good"-that is
whether they will honor it. They say
chat it is, and the traveller has his money
If they say it is not, he is arrested for
fraud and sent to prison. What the tel.
egraph gives is the opportunity to any
man to travel or to do business with as
little actual money as he needs for per
sonal purposes from day to day.-Reu. E.
e. Hale in the Ghatauquan.

THE LAWRENCE MEDAL RACE.
#. @. Puffer Wins the Quarter-mile Canter
from Fifteen other Sprinters.

II. G.. Puffer Wins the Quarter-mile Canter
from Fifteen Other Sprinters.
On the quarter-mile cinder track of the
New Jersey Athletic Clubs grounds at
Bergen Point the eighth handicap quar-
ter-mile run for the Lawrence champion
ship gold medal took place last evening.
Besides the sixteen sprfnters who con-
tested the events, there were in the neigh
borhood of one hundred other athletes
and nearly as many outside spectators
present. A dozen or so of the entries
failed to start.
K. E.. Barnes, the Jersey kangaroo
was on the scratch. with Fred Sliney, at
the II yards mark; Tommy Namack. at 13
yards; F.. G. Puffer, at % yards; William
d. Day, the cross-country champion; A.
S. Hill and w. b. French, at % yards: H.
Hjertberg at 2S yards, Ed. PASSOVER, M.
Z. Halpin, w. c. Trewin and Frank ID.
Brown, the spring bicycle rider, at 80
yards; O.. b. Gardener, at 80 yards; Clinton
Brockway, at 30 yards; A. Schroeder, at IS
yards; and F.. Robertson, ut 40 yards.
The start was made just at dusk, the
men getting off well together at the word.
The pace was hot from the outset, and the
race was exciting, the contestants getting
punched before covering half the dis
lance. Sliney, Namack and Barnes
rapidly oyerhauled and passed man after
man on the homestretch, but although
they got we'll up in front the handicap
was too much for any Of the trio to win.
Puffer finished first in 1921 seconds.
Namack was at his back, Trewin was
third, Brockway fourth, and Barnes fifth,
not five yards behind the winner. There
were only two s~tragglers, the others cross
ing the line almost together.
The trophy must be won thrice to be-
come the property of any athlete, and, as
it is now held by the New Jersey Athletic
Club, only members of that organization
can compete for it. AS all the contests
are handicap events, no one has won it
more than once. In the last previous run
it was captured by E.. jerks. 1t was pre-
sented several years ago to the defunct
Olympic Athletic Club by Mr.. Lawrence,
now, like his old club mates, connected
with the New Jersey Athletic Club.
