of the above date rs our column moved out
90 the attack our teams led horses, and every
thing that would cucumber or impede our prog
ress IN any manner was being sent to the rear.
The advance was led by the Second Brigade,
commanded by Gen Smith d. Atkins and soon
encountered the rebel line OF Outp0sts driving
them in on their main line, which slubbOrnly
disputed our further advance. We moved cut
OF the timber. aud our brigade formed IN line
In an open field, at right angles with the wagon
road. I'd was at this moment Lieut. Griffin,
Chief or Scouts, on Gen. kilpatricll's staff,
came tearing along the line and scoiding ms for
being SO slow IN forming our line.
The rebcl force consisted principally OF dis
mounted cavalry strongly posted behind long
lines Of barbados, having the TANKS well
extended 30 the rear.

A Reconnaissance.

g. T. Dent, Co. E. 18th Ind, Clarissa,
MINI, says that some time in August, 1861,
Col. Owens, Of the 18th Ind, took Co. z
OF his regiment and four companies of the
81 Ohio, and made q reconnaissance up the
Tygart River, w. Va. After marching all
day they rested all night, and the next morn
ing Col. Owens called for volunteers TO 90 out
about 100 yards ahead Of the main column and
prevent the little force from being drawn into
ambush. After marching about two miles
they came TO a creek, which was crossed by
the adganCe-guard, and they ran upon about
so rebels concealed behind big log. Then
the fun began. One of the Ohio boys was
shot in the knee. A big rebel caught one
Of our boys, a small man, and thought he
had prisoner; but the little fellow was reso-
Lutte, though considerably scared, and succeeded
in gaining the road, where the big rebel vas
shot dead. The skirmish lasted for several
minutes when piece Of artillery opened on
the Yankees from up the creek, and they
had 20 fall back
W. A. Fairchild, Co. I, 199th Pa, Mountain
Top, Pa, knows that the fort was captured by
the First Brigade, First Division, Twenty
fourth Corps, as his regiment belonged to the
brigade, and was in the assault and the writer
was with the regiment. A portion of the 55th

More About Fort Gregg.

William III. III. Beckwith, Co. r. s9th n. Y,
Morocco, Ind, says that his regiment, which
belonged to the Twenty fourth Corps took part
in the capture of Fort Gregg. The writer was
not IN the charge, being detailed with Mai.
COOley's battalion Of sharpshOoters, but he
could see the fort when it was captured Some
time in the forenoon a charge was made, which
failed, and he could see soldiers lying on the
outside Of the fort. A part Of the Twenty
fourth Corps was ordered TO reinforce them, and
the s9th N. Y. was one the regiments The
Colonel was shot through the head and killed,
and a number of others were shot. When
they reached the fort they broke the door on
but before the enemy would yield most Of
them were killed.
Neal c. Spring, Co. /, 67th Ohio, Tedrow o.,
says that the First Brigade, First Division,
Twenty-fourth Corps, composed OF the 67th and
sd Ohio, 39th H., S5th and 199th Pa, capt
ured Fort Gregg. The writer was wounded there
and knows what troops were in the charge.
After the main line of works was taken, the
cd Ohio was deplOyed as skirmishers and the
balance of the brigade supported them. The
rebel skiTmishers were soon driven back to the
fort. The First Brigade was drawn up in line
OF battle, and the rebels were Smelling them
with telling effect, when cheer went up from
the brigade and the color bearer of the writer's
regiment stepped TO the front and said that his
cOlOrs should go into that fort; but he and q
great many others lost their lives in the
charge. The eolors Of the 39th I'll. and 9th
Ohio were planted on Fort Gregg about the
same time, but the color guards were all killed
rs soon as the flag was planted.

The only man who ever was too quick
for Joe Dye, the bad man Of Ventura,
was Petroleum Scott, the old Ventura
oil man, a tall, wiry, nervous chap, who
would be the terror Of stenographers IL
he were a public speaker. Phillips
Brooks Is a leisurely drawler compared
to Scott. Scott and Dye had a legal con-
test over an oil claim on the Sespe, and,
while the case was pending, Scott pru-
IDENTIFY avoided discussing it with Joe,
whose temper and trigger finger were
VIGOROUSLY quick and apt to act in con-
cert.
One day Scott and Dye met in Santa
Paula and, sitting down at q table to-
gether, chatted about things in general.
Scott carefully abstained from talking
about oil claims, but Joe finally preached
the subject and made some statement
about the records that was not correct
This is the way Scott tells the story:
without thinking, / said. Joe. you're a
liar, and as soon as the words were out
of my mouth he yanked his revolver and
stuck it under my nose. But / was too
quick for him. 1 took it all back before
he could shoot" San Francisco Argo-

A spectator, viewing the sun from n
distant point in space, would perceive
that its-brilliancy was slightly increased
once in about every clever years. These
accessions of light should correspond,
not with the periods of fewest spots, but
with those of most spots, because the
energy of the suns radiation is greatest
during the spot maxima- At present a
sun spot maximum is approaching, and
since last winter the face of the sun has
frequently exhibited startling indica-
lions of the tremendous disturbances
now affecting the solar globe. Our
imaginary observer in space would prob
ably behold at the present time u very
slight increase in the suns brilliancy,
and this increase may go on for three or
four years to come.
While we, dwelling upon q globe that
is bathed in the suns rays, may be un-
able to perceive these variations directly,
yet their effects nave long been recog-
nized by the changes that they produce
in terrestrial magnetism. 1t is also
highly probable hat a perceptible in
fiuence upon the weather is exercised by
variations in solar radiation correspond
ing with the presence or absence of sun
spots.-G. p. Serviss in Popular Science

a story OF General Logan.

THAT is a remarkable story about
Mrs. John A. Logan remarked a gen.
tleman to a party of friends the other
evening. "A few months before her
husbands death she had been with
him to New Mexico for his health, and
when they had returned to Chicago a
young girl Of twenty, who had been a
favorite with General Logan since her
childhood, came in to see them in the
evening, and he jokingly asked her what
she had learned since he saw her last
She said she had been studying palm
istry, and he held out his hand and
l~anghingly told her to read his fortune
Her face became serious at the first
glance and she told him that death
was marked in it, and that unless he
changed his method of living and
working and got rest he would be in his
grave speedily.
MRS. Logan, who stood by, observed
that this revelation had a disturbing eff
feet on her husband, and with some re-
assuring remark and a laugh held out
her hand and told the young lady to
read her hand The girl took it, looked
at the lines an instant, and burst out
crying. You will be a widow within
six months sobbed the young palmist,
dropping the hand. And in less time
than that the nation was mourning the
loss of Senator Logan and Mrs. Logan
was n widow. New York Truth.
