Broken branches, great limbs rudeiy

A PECULIAR INCIDENT.
Colonel McEwen's Romantic story of thu
Battle OF Franklin.

Battle Ot FRANKLIN.
While recalling personal reminiscent
ces, it may be of interest to mention
one communicated to me by Colonel
McEwon:
General Kimball occupied my house
rs his headquarters. An incident oc-
CURED near there which was rather
strange to me. About four p. m, after
the General had left for the field, there
fingered n Colonel from indianapolis in
my parlor; lie was Il lawyer, and nice
man; he asked my daughters to sing and
play him piece of music. They hes
itated, but / answered for them, Yes ,
My daughters asked what they should
play. He replied that he had not been
in n parlor since the battle of Oak Hill
was fought, and that he did not know
one piece from another, except field
music. / then spoke up and asked the
young ladies. to sing and play a piece
which had recently come out, Just
Before the Battle, Mother telling
the Colonel that it was new piece.
At my request they sat down
and played and sang the piece about
half through, when / stepped to the
door and shell exploded within fifty
yards. 1 Immediately returned and
said: Colonel, if / am any judge, it is
just about that time nowr He imme-
diatoly sprang TO his feet, and ran in
the direction OF his regiment, but be-
fore he reached it, or by that time, he
was shot through the lungs, the bullet
passing quite through him. He was
taken back to the rear, and on 10 Nash
vile. Eighteen days after received a
message from him through an officer,
stating the fact of his being shot, and
that the piece OF music the young ladies
were executing was still ringing in his
ears and had been every moment that
his eyes were open since he left my par
lor the evening of the battle. In April,
four months later, after the war was
over, he had sufficiently recovered to
travel, when he came to Franklin, as
he stated, expressly to get the young
ladies to finish the piece of music and
relieve his cars. His wife and more
than n dozen officers accompanied him.
He found the ladies, and they sang and
played the piece through for him in the
presence of all the officers, and they
wept like children. DIR. Henry NJ

POPULAR SCIENCE.
Curious illustration of tho Transformation
of Motion into Heat.

/ Tho opinion Is now commonly ac-
copied by scientific men that all bodies,
substances, gases and liquids arc COM
posed, of multitudeso particles or MOLE
cules OF almost inconcoivable smallness,
and these are supposed to be in motion
among themselves-thi motion, more
over, being heat; that is to say, heat Is
neither more nor less than kind OF
motion, and this internal vibration can
be transmitted into a pcrceptible me-
chanical movement, or, on the other
hand, mechanical movement can be
converted into the invisible motion
called heat.
How the change takes place no one
knows, but the change is mono the less
a fact. AS illustrating this point, a
writer in the Mechanical Engineer
cites the fact THAT the difference between
a solid and a gas is simply that the mo-
tion OF the particles or molecules OF the
gas is much greater in extent than Is
the motion of the particles of the solid /;
some gases also having greater range
OF motion than other gases, and II by
any means the motion Do taken out OF
gas, say by compressing it into ves-
sci, tho sides and ends of which reduce
the range of movement, then, as moth
ing is lost in nature, the invisible and
insensiblc motion OF the gas, which it
has lost, reappears as heat In n visible
form, aud 1t is found that the sides Of
the vessel become hot.
Further, the oxygen which has COM
bined with coal has very considerable
range OF internal motion, but when the
oxygen has combined with the coal,
another gas, known as carbonic acid
gas, is produced, and the particles OF
this gas having much smaller range
of motion than the particles OF the oxy-
gen have, the difference appears in. the
form of heat.-Boston Journal OF Com

THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
It's a achievements Surpassed by the Fight
ing of Our Own Soldiers.

Its a Achievements surpassed by the Fight
ing of Our Own Soldiers.
We can not forbear one more compar-
ison with European standards to show
how much bloodier was the fighting OF
our own soldiers. The charge of the
light brigade at Balaklava stands out
in the history of all European wars as
the most murderous ever sustained by
single organization in battle. 1t has
been sung about, painted in picture. and
made the subject of countless pieces of
mastery word-painting.
What are the exact figures? 1t start
ed upon the charge with 673 men, and
lost 1l3 killed and 1874 wounded; total
247, or 367 per cent OF its number.
This was its first and only battles After
that it rested on its laurels. There
were scores of regiments in our army
which lost moro heavily than this in
single engagements, after having suf-
fered more severely before, and which
went on to other battles where they
suffered still more.
Take, for example, the First Mime
sofa, which, after having fought val
iantly at tho first Bull Run, on the
Peninsula, at the Second Bull Run, An
tictam, fredericksburg and Chancel
lorsville, found itself at Gettysburg
with tho 1850 men it started out witt
reduced TO 262. At a critical point il
the battle Hancock found it necessary
to sacrifice 1t to gain fow minutes
time. He ordered it TO charge into al
overwhelming mass OF the enemy ant
capture their colors, which it did
though almost annihllated. 1t lost n
men killed or mortally wounded, ant
149 wounded-224 in all, or S2 per cent
This did not stop its fighting, either

comparison between the mortality OF
officers at Gettysburg and the Wilder

officers fell thickly. In the Wilderness,
where the officers had the same shelter

two weeks since in eleven rounds,
was anxious to have a go with him,
and had come down to look into the
matter. He is perfectly willing to
make match, providing the stakes
are large enough. Vacquelin has
raised $1,000, and has offered to
fight him ten rounds. Marquis, of
Queensbury rules, with small gloves,

Kilrain has fixed on 81 500, and to-

to raise the other $500. 1t is almost
certain the fight will come off.
