FRANK MEETS AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.
 "Heaven aid me! Where am now?- which way shall I turn?" $
 The speaker was Frank Besant-the, scene, the bank of swollen stream, once mere mountain torrent, but now a rushing river of muddy waters.
 Many things had happened since the fall of Fort Donelson. First and fore-i most the hero of that splendid victory Ulysses Grant, for disobedience of or ders, had fallen under the cloud of Hal, leck's displeasure andbeen peremptorily ordered to turn over the command to General c. F. Smith, a man of high, military capacity, but brief career. Poor fellow! His was not soldiers, death on the battlefield, mid clang of arms and roar of guns, but the wound which laid him low-the mere scratch of rusty nail stepping into boat after the fall of Fort Donelson-was already sapping his vital forces.
 Franks regiment was again on the march to join Buell. at Nashville, with Frank as acting Captain of his com

above zero, while some of the poor. wounded heroes literally froze to death 1 on their icy resting places
 Next day the battle was resumed with alternate success and failure. In the afternoon the deafening can nonade of the fort guns told them that Foote's gun-boats were already in ad. vance.
 At four o'clock Frank found himself in command of his company, for his Captain was wounded and had been carried to the rear. Twice they had charged, and once again he was rally ing them, when a sharp voice cried in tone of commapd:
 ''Halt, sir! Give your men breathing time. Do you not see that your line is not half formed?"
 Turning with impatience at the re- bulSe, he saw a man with a rather slight, ungainly figure with slouch hat and undress uniform. He knew not then that he was gazing at that son of des!! tiny, Ulysses Grant.
 But ere the angry reply rose to the lads lips an aid-de-camp rode up and saluted Franks impertinent critic.
 "What news from the river, Winters?''
 ''The worst, General. Six gunboats have advanced-two are disabled and are drifting helplessly down the stream, while the others seem likely to follow" "
 "Ah! then, after all, the blow must be struck on land!'' And General Grant passed on, a strange, cold gleam of determination lighting his usually impressive features. Meanwhile it was faring but badly with the hapless garrison. On the l night of the 14th council of war was held by the beleaguered commanders. | They had done all that mortal men could do, and knew that the end was come. General Floyd turned over the command to General Pillow, taking; however, his brigade across the river, and Pillow turned it over again to Buck ner, succeeding, too, himself, in escap- | ing in wood scow. At daylight Grant was ready for the final assault. But see! the white flag waves and an officer comes from the dbeleageured ranks with offers of capitu- 1ation. Grants terms seem hard:
 Nothing but unconditional and inn mediate surrender!" he cried, Cor will move upon your works"
 Then Buclzner sent back the bitter message: Necessity compels me to ac- cepI your unSenerOuS ana uncn1Var1c terms" and Fort Donelson was won and fifteen thousand prisoners capturedl
 An, how quickly the news sped | North and South. What glad hurrahsl what bitter tears, what joy, what sor- | row, greeted that fallen fort! Johnston heard the news at Nashville and retreated in hot haste. Buell. heard it and seized the defenseless city, and Carey heard it at Columbus on the Mississippi and spiked his guns and flung them in the river, and fell back on
 Islaud Number Ten, thirty miles away, whose strong works he hoped would 1 shield him.
 And two gentle women at Melton
 burg heard it and on their knees thanked God-not that Fort Donelson
 was fallen-but that their soldicr-boy
 was safe.

Tho Gardener Understood.

Meissonier, the great French artist,
many of whose masterpieces are in
American galleries, like many other
celebrities, had passion for gardening
His gardener, an accomplished botanist,
knew TO perfection the seeds of every
plant, and Mcissonier had often tried in
vain TO throw him off his guard.
"'rhis time I've got him." the artist
remarked to party of friends at the
dinner table, and he showed them a
small packet containing the dried roe of
herring, He sent for the gardener.
do YOU know this seed 7" Meissonier
inquired.
The gardener carefully scrutinized the
grains. "Why not?" he said at last.
"They are the seeds of the polpus flusci-
mus, very rare tropical plant"
How long will they be in coming up?"
Messonier asked, with chuckle Of sup
pressed emulation.
"About fortnight" was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were again
assembled at Meissonier's table, and
after dinner the gardener was announced.
"Meissonier," the man said, "the seed
has just come up"
"Ah! you surprise me-" the artist ex-
claimed, us he rose and led tho way into
the garden TO examine the botanical
phenomenon.
The gardener lifted n glass shade and
disclosed to view small bed with three
rows of picked herrings' heads peeping
ont of the earth. Everybody laughed.
Meissonier dismissed the gardener on
the spot, but took him on again the next
day.

contend, and they earnestly desire thai
the Levy Court shall speedily erect the
large reilectors. The eastern approach
to the bridge is extremely dangerous
after nightfall and no railing prevents a
careworn traveller from being precipi-
tated down into the abyss below were
he so disposed. Then would result a
damage suit which in the end might
prove far more expensive to the county
than if the Levy Court were to have a
railing put up at the extremity of the
bridge.
An examination of the danger spot
Tuesday revealed the fact that the
complaints had good grounds upon
which to rest their fears, and q remark
able fact it is that no accidents have re.
suited thus far. Were u person to APP
proach the bridge from the east, keeping
well to the right in so doing, instead OF
stepping upon the end of the bridge he
would find himself stepping into space
and in few moments would be whirl-

danger the residents living over the
