PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

a sixteenth Corps Man Thanks the Army of
the Cumberland.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Tn a recent
issue notice an article, "Why did Grant want
Thomas superseded at Nashvlle?" l cannot
answer the question, except in the Yankee
way, by asking others, and if don't ask enough,
why, let me know. Why did Sherman say that
Grants history would have ended at Donel-
son if Smith had lived ?" and then deny that
he "ever wrote it, or could think such a
thing" But he did.
Why did Grant blame Lew Wallace for ap-
preaching our army at Shiloh on the flank
instead of base"2 ard assert that he would
never do it again; or, to be plain, that he had
learned q lesson.
Grant also learned lesson, viz, not to leave
his army each night latter it was too late for
All attack" when the whole rebel army was en-
camped within three or five miles and no
General left in command.
Grant did not have breastworks, "because it
would curtai our supply of water ~, and the
time would be better employed III drills" The
boys who were there will have nothing to say
in answer to this; others will find that | have
quoted from Grants article on "Shloh."

in detail and I, for. one. will ever hold the
Army of tho Cumberland in grateful remem-
brance for saving us, on the second day. We

"A fresh furrow in plowed field will stop
the whole column and all begin to intrench,"
and =" that the men of Thomas's army had been
so demoralized by the battle of Chckamauga
that he feared they could not be got out of
their trenches to assume the offensive" but
when the time came to relieve the pressure in
front of Sherman, which had lasted nearly two
days, the boys who were afraid of "a fresh fur.
row" made demonstration on the center
and won great part of the battle, and about
all the glory-at least, all that will live in his

T7 HE article OF Owen Wright, Sergeant,

E. 4th and Sth Ohio, and our regiment,
A2 the 9TH w. Va, were brgaded together
from 1851 to the close of the war, and must saw
without fear of contradiction, that we were al
ways on hand for duty and ready for fight
with the ,Iohnnies at moments notice.
Personally, ! was not present at the battle of
Gettysburg, being Quartermaster of the regi-
ment at that time. However / find in my
diary a copy of the following order from Maj

some light on the controversy now going on in

newor, inc Deadly Corset String.


 One of Cumberland's most busy thor oughfares came near being the scene of tragedy yesterday evening of most sensational and distressing character. A young lady, radiant in all the loveliness that usually attends sweet seventeen, travelled three entire blocks literally on fire, and yet gave no sign nor did she betray her distress to any one, although passersby who happened to be possessed of keen olfactory organs may have de- tected the odor of burning woolens and Hannels.
 It is related by those who know the particulars that the young lady was en- gagged in the mysteries of her toilet pre- paratory to a street promenade. A cor set string refused to be cut bias or something of that sort, and was sub jected to the discipline of lighted lamp in order to shorten it. Burning the string fin two pieces was success for the time, and the young lady com pleted her make up and hastily started down town. She was more than quarter of mile from home when the horrible fact was discovered that her underclOthing was on fire in an inaces- sible region. The material, however, was all wool and there was great deal more smoke and offensive odor than fire. Still, no young lady approves of being on fire in the street or anywhere else, and so she hastened as rapidly as pos sible to the shelter of the house of 4 friend, and reached harbor of safety just before the flames broke out, but it is said she was smoking like limekiln when the friendly door closed behind her. Strange to say, her person was not even scorched, although she is now the owner of very dilapidated outfit of woolen underwear News.

counts of wholesale destruction of deer in that region by Indians. Bands of Warm Spring and Klickitat Indians, numbering from 150 to 200, get permis- sion about July to come over into the Willamette valley to pick hops and leave their reservations. They come in over the Santiam wagon road and make a camp at Indian prairie, and then organ ize grand roundup of deer They sur round a vast tract of country on their ponies, which they ride through a coun- try that a white man can hardly get through on foot, and drive the deer to- ward a common center, and slaughter them by hundreds, killing bucks, lawns and does indiscriminately drying the choice parts of the meat for winter sup plies. It is stated that in the region about the headwaters of the various forks of the Santiam, Indians have this season slaughtered over 1000 deer Portland Oregonian.

further delay in statehood. The Re- publicans favor it, and the Democrats say they do, and Mark Smith should experience no difficulty in having the bill passed immediately upon the re- convening of Congress.
 It has been suggested that meeting of the citizens of Phoenix be held during the coming week to take some action in the mater, and if deemed advisable to select committee to visit Washington and urge the early admission of the territory. THE REPUBLICAN takes pleasure in endorsing this suggestion and hopes that a general attendance may be had.

A New Boston Tad.

l have found q family where all the members are devoting themselves to the principles of "repose through relaxa- tion." Since their conversion to this creed of physical culture they are complete entertainment in themselves. To find this relaxation they flop about in the most wonderful manner; the host has forsaken his sitting room couch and drops a limp heap on the rug near the open grate; his good spouse allows her head to droop like wilted lily and amazes her breath ing apparatus by peculiar gasps and convulsive heaving. The daughters throw back the shoulders by placing their thoughts under their several chins. and holding themselvesu up by imaginary handles there implanted. 1 repeat the words, the meaning of which I do not attempt to construe.
 The art is trifle beyond me. After we dined the other evening the entire family even to Rob, the ten-year-old hopeful, went through drill to bring about repose; when the prize was gained the family looked quite as if a hurricane had whirled them about in mad glee untilall the bones in their bodies were broken into inch sections and every sec tion pulverized into powdery bits. One of the main rules of this new system is to rest mind and body by imagining that the legs are heavy.-Cor. Roxbury News.

Here into a small tank, four feet square and six inches deep, an ordinary spout discharges rain water from the roof of three story building.
 In gambling with this apparatus bets are made at the beginning of the rainy season as to whether or not the tank will overflow at given shower; to the extent the rain will overflow it when the water sheets come down in proper tropi- cal style. 1t is alleged that on busy days in the bazaar several lakhs of ru- pees change hands This is surely vice made easy for the lazy man.-Exchange.

STATEHOOD FOR ARIZONA.
CLEVELAND'S OPPORTUNITY

CLEVELAND'S OPPORTUNITY.
 Men grow with their responsibilities. It was theory of Garfield's that almost any man would rise with the occasion, and at least do fairly we'll even in a place far too big for him.
 While this idea is open to exceptions and notifications it is certain that many men, whose habits of life have not been such as to win the confidence of their fellow citizens, rise to degree of manliness in the midst of an emer- gency that surprises all who know them. Mir. Cleveland did this during his occupancy of the presidential office, and it was no doubt largely owing to the generally accepted opinion that he was earnest and sincere, with the firm ness necessary to dety the worst ele- ments of his party, that his majority in the last election was so pronounced. On all sides was heard the opinien that no matter which of the candidates won, the country would have an honest man at the head of affairs.
 It is quite reassuring to have. thus early, the positive assurance of Mir. Cleveland that he will take no back ward step in the path of decency in politics which he pursued in ,pite of party clamor during his former term, In fact he gives signa of being deter mined to advance along those lines. That he is deeply impressed with the responsibility of his postion-more so indeed than at his first election-is abundantly evident. He has taken the earliest occasion 10 notify the spoils- men Of his party that they must take back seats, and he is far more likely to advance than to recede. With his pe- culiar views on the, tariff we have no sympathy, and the indications are that he himself has abandoned the extreme ground which he maintained four years ago. Indeed there is hedging all round the Democratic field until one of his leading home organs comes boldly for ward and declares that the Democratic policy on protection ought to be in q general way that advocated by the Re- publican platform. Whatever his course and position in this regard, however, TIE REPUBLICAN rejoices that mere partisanship is not likely to be the rule of the incoming administration. but that at least something of the clean methods and lofty patriotism which has distin- guished the four years of Mir. Harrison is likely to prevail in the four years to come.
