mysterious will not enumerate them. but
will call attention to only one incident which
then happened among the many, and which
does not seem to be sufficiently explained in
Serg't Perry's paper. / refer to Gen. Rufus
King and what befel him at that time at
Groveton. Gen. King was or is q know not
whether he is now living son of Charles
King, former President of Columbia Col
lege, a graduate of West Point Military Acad-
envy, and at the outbreak of the rebellion was
the editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Just before Gen. Kings Division met Jack
sons rebel corps. the General stopped at Mon
roes r. /. battery, which was halted at the
side of the Warrenton pike. Orders had been
received by Capt. Monroe to march in rear of
the division direct to Centerville rs the enemy
could not be found on or near tine Warrenton
pike. The officers of the battery were taking
a lunch and Gen. King was invited to join
them. He dismounted and accepted the invi-
tation. In five or 10 minutes the enemy an
nounced himself by number of shells that
were thrown in our immediate neighborhood.
We received orders to advance at once and re.
turn the fire. / remember just as / mounted
my horse / heard an exclamation OF surprise
from some one, and / looked around and was
greatly astonished to see Gen. King PROSTATE
on the ground. ] at first thought that he had
been struck by shell or bullet, but soon
saw that he was in a severe epieptic tit. This
1 know from the fact that schoolmats of
mine frequently had had them, and in conse-
auence / was familiar with the symptoms.
Also, the next day, was informed that such
was the case in regard to Gen. King. have
never seen the General since that night as he
lay there upon the ground. In my opinion no
blame should be attributed to him, as his in
trinity was of kind over which he had no
control, unless he might be censured for accept
ing position for which he was totally untitled
on account of this physical disability. But
for aught know this was the first attack

What marvel of usefulness it is.
The day has gone by never to return, when this
great boon is TO be found only in the luxurious
homes of the wealthy and well-to-do.
The system adopted by some of the reputable
leading manufacturers whereby the services of the
dealer, canyasser. adjuster instructor. collector,
etc. which have added greatly to the cost of the
Machines, have been dispensed WITH and the
Machines sold direct to families has resulted in
saving of least 100 per cent to the ess fortunate
classes, and very much more to those of small
means who were compelled to buy on the TN
stalment Plan," and has placed Sewing Machines
within the reach of all.
There is no longer any doubt to the kind of
Machine best suited TO family use. between the
lock and the chain stitch the question having long
since been decided in favor Of the lock-stitch or
shuttle Machine.
This point being settled. it remains that such
machines must lightly and quietly, and have
all modern improvements in the matter of shuttle,
needle. self. threading. bobbin winder, etc. etc.

ing the siege Of Vicksburg, as COmrade God
frey, of Co. B. 47th H., seems to have done in
picket Shots" in your issue of April Z.
Comrade Godfrey says he was one of Gen. Tut
ties pioneers. and helped to dig the saps in
front of that Generals division. / won't dis
pute that point with him, but ! must differ
with him when he says that Col. Mcclure, of
the 47th H., was Chief of Gen. Tuttle's staff.
The truth ia that J. ID. Mcclure was not
Colonel at all at that time. but was Captain of
Co. c, 47th III.
Another fact is that the 47th Ill. did not
have Colonel at that time. Col. John N.
Cromwell, of the 47th ILL.,, was killed at jack
son, Miss when the regiment left that place on
Or about May II. The regiment arrived in
rear of Vieksburg on the evening Of May 10,
under the command Of Lieut-Col. Samuel L.
Baker. Capt Harmon Andrews, Of Co. q, was
acting as Major.
The regiment participated in the charge on
May % with the balance of the brigade-Joe
Mowers Second Brigade, Tuttle's Division.
Two or three days after the charge the brigade
was ordered to SstaItia, on the Yazoo River,
and Mechanicsburg four miles inland. to drive
away force that had collected there. Gen.
Kimball, with q brigade or division, 1 am not
certain which. had been sent to assist u.s. but
his troops did not become engaged. Mowers
troops succeeded in driving them away before
Kimball got up.
After tho affair at Mechanicsburg Mowers
Brigade was ordered to Y0ung's Point, on the
Mississippi River, about eight miles above and
opposite Yicksbnrg, where it remained until
the surrender Of vieksburg. And all this
time the 47th III. was under command Of Lieut.

it was for us to do So Here We were lying in a

How easy it would be for some blood thirsty
rebel to slip up and murder both Of us, and no.
body ever be the wiser of it. And. then, should
such thing happen, we would always be re-
garded as deserters.
My mind was becoming considerably agitated
over these thoughts. when Anthony, raising to
q sitting posture and pointing ont into the corn
field, said in a low, sepulchral tone:
See; there they are. Don't you see them ?"
and resting on both knees, l held 1t at arms-a-
port, ready to pull down anything in sight.

emphasized it with red-hot explosives Since
then, in rejecting on this incident, do not
blame him, as the poor fellow was subject to
somnambulsm, and, when in the spells, his
eyes were open, and to all appearances he
was awake. But l never afterward cared to
have him as bunk mate, on that account.
Next morning. seeing nothing of the conva-
lescent squad, we hobbled along the pike as

Heart Blow From Burns Brought Hia

Hands Up.
NEW YORK, May 3l.-Robert Burns
whipped Cal Mccarthy in eight rounds
at the Coney Island Athletic Club last
night. Before the fight there was some
commotion among the betting men when
IL leaked out that Mccarthy was over
weight and had to forfeit $500 on that ac-
count.
Burns was in excellent condition and
there were many Providence people pres
est who were placing their bottom dollar
at any odds they could get.
The fight opened with Mccarthy as
the aggressor, but Burns was cool and
met him with q straight counter every
time he led. Cal had to change his tac-
tics as his punishment was very severe.
In the second round 1t was evident that
his antagonist. Burns swung his left on
McCarthy's jaw and knocked him half
across the stage.
He Knocked Cal down so many times
that it looked as though he was having
walk -over. Mccarthy acted on the de-
fensive in the third round and recovered
from his weakness of the previous round.
Some hard fighting was done.
In the fourth Mccarthy did good work
till he began to force the lighting. when
he got the worst OF it and was knocked
down. Burns kept up his straight left
hand jabs in the fifth round. Mccarthy
fought well.
Mccarthy came up strong in the sixth
round and landed three or four vicious
left handed upper cuts that staggered
| Burns.
In the seventh round Mccarthy start
| ed in to swing his left with his old-.ime
vigor, but Burns countered well and
| landed with telling effect.
Both men got in some effective work in
| the eighth round and after Mccarthy was
Knocked down the second time he threw
up his hands and quit. His uniting was
the greatest surprise known to pugilistic
| circles in many years.
| He has had the reputation OF being
thoroughly game. The last blow over
the heart took all the fight out OF Nc
Carthy.
Before the Burns Mccarthy fight, Ed
