McClellan's center along a clearing known
rs Glendale, and another column, under
Gen. Huger, was to form and attack on the
curved gap between Lon:xtrect's left ut
Glendale und Jackson's right ON White
Oak Swamp. Stuart was loose between the
Swamp and James river on the east,
The impression In Lees camp seems to
have been that large part of the Union
army lay around Glendale and north of it
toward the swamp, and the orders were that
i4ongstreet should open the attack at Glen
dale, and on the sound Of his signal guns
Huger should attack on his front and
Jackson take up his end on the Union
rear. In McClellan's camps the NOW.
ment was anticipated, and the chief gave
instructions to Sumner to halt at Glcniala
until further orders and to Franklin to
defend the passage of White Oak Swamp.
An ORDER to Sumner to halt his troops Mt
any point was equal to IN order to dig
graves for them there il necessary. As for
Franklin, served under him ut this time
and will simply quote Gen. SCOTS COM
ment when he learned of his appointment.
Franklin, chi" said the old veteran. "Al.
ways ready! Never too fast, never too
slow"
Smiths division Of Franklin's corps was
at the White Oak bridge and Slocum's on
the curve between Smith and the right d.
vision OF Summers line ut Glendale, This
brought Slocum opposite to Huger and
Smith to jackson and Hill. At noon there
was no sound along the swamp louder than
an insects hum, but an hour later the re-
gion was awakened from primcval silence
by terrific cannonade. jackson had
reached tho bridge and planted some thirty
cannon to command it. One brigade OF
Smiths men lay exposed to the hei1hts
beyond the swamp, and this line and the
headquarters. which were in u farm house
nearby, received the force Of the fire, The
shots tore great limbs from the trees and
threatened to stampede the troops and ami
mails, 80 sudden and 90 furious was the
outburst.

and totally unaware of danger. The first
shell cut of one Of his legs, and in few
minutes he lay dead from loss of blood,

made his wound. Franklin ordered his
men to stand, and batteries were quickly
whirled into position to respond. The Con-
federates sent cavalry and sharpshooters
across the swamp to pick of Union gun.

back in haste. The bridges, which were
log platforms supporting dirt causcway,
had been broken up by our rear guard,
and the Confederates wished to clear u
space large enough to admit of repairing
the break. The water was fordablc for
men and horses, though not for artillery,
and with his ample force ct hand there was
chance that Jackson would cross men
enough to carry the point.
Soon after Jackson began his attack on
Smiths division the Confederates under
Huger made an attempt to dislodge Frank.

Why the Ear Has Wrinkles.
According to Professor Garrison, of
Chicago, the crumpled and crushed form
of the human ear was originally caused
and is now maintained by the habit of
lying ON the side of the head, and that
this habit has resulted principally from
the great and increasing weight of the
brain. The question originally seemed
to be whether mans ancestors would
profit most by large brains or by SYM
metrical and perfect acoustic apparatus.
and nature by selection had promptly
decided in favor Of large brains.-Chi-
