HEROES AT VARIANCE.
The Ungallant Conduct of the Nations
Idols.

Idols.
The publication of Mr.. McClure's
series of papers on Mr.. Lincoln and q
number of the leading actors in the late
war has called out flood of hidden
letters and unknown facts from all sec
tions of the country, and many of them
painfully illustrate the disgraceful bick
erings of even the idols of the nation in
both field and forum.
An autograph letter written by Gen
Hooker from his headquarters at Colum
bus, o., in October, 1864, is among the
many developments of the hidden liter
ature of our civil war. Hooker and Sher
man seems to have got at cross pur
poses in the Chattanooga campaign,
where both rendered conspicuous ser.
vice-Hooller at Lookout mountain and
Sherman in the assault upon Missionary
ridge. In the reorganization that fol
lowed when Grant was called to the
lieutenant-generalship Hooker deemed
himself aggrieved, was relieved of his
tically retired from active service by re.
ceiving command of the northern de-
partment, with headquarters ut Colum-
bus, o. Upon what terms Hooker and
| Sherman separated after their brilliant
achievements at Chattanooga may be
understood from single sentence in
Hool<er's autograph letter, in which he
saws; 1T would have been a luxury to
| have broken my sabre over the head of
Sherman before leaving the Twentieth
corps; but as it is, l suppose l shall
have to forego that pleasure for the
present"
Gen. Hooker was not exceptional
in the bitterness he cherished against
his successful rivals in the field. Him
self one of the most brilliant lieutenants
of the war, but obviously incapable as
the commander of great army, and
impulsive often to the point of insubor-
dination, he naturally underestimated
his own defects as a military chieftain,
and overestimated the defects of those
who were more successful than himself
In this Gen. Hooker was simply human,
for, with all the varied achievements of
our best military men, there Were few
indeed who were close friends and CO.
operated for each others success. Grant
and Sherman were notable exceptions,
but after them there were few who did
not cross each others paths and develop
all the chickering's which often deform
greatness in both civil and military life.
In this our generals merely initiated
the constant strife and jealousies which
exist among politicians in the struggles
for civil distinction, and unitedly they
teach the lesson that even in the high
est attainments of greatness. ''all are

killed, which makes 1t much appreciated
in central Africa, where the meat is
usually as tough as shoe leather and
nearly as dry" In addition to the
quality of the meat, the Gland has the
additional requisite of large size. A full
grown Gland is as large as a atwo-year-old
shorthorn, and has far more the appear
ance of high-bred bullock than an
antelope. Its horns are short and
straight, pointing backward, and it has
a dewlap like an OK. 1t can live on the
hardest fare, and soon grows very fat
on good pasture. Best of all, it becomes
quite tame, and is easily acclimatized.
The writer remembers to have seen a
splendid group of these animals in the
Jardin d'Acclima tation in the Bois de
Boulogne, an old bull nearly sixteen

them, in the opinion OF the bigoted all vir-

THE THUNDER OF ARTILLERY.
Earth, Air and Water Convulsed by the
Roar of Great Guns.

E.artn, AIT water COnVulSeu by tne
Roar of Great Guns.
Here are two field batteries-twelve,
six, and nine Founders in all-firing as
rapidly as they can be reloaded. The
reports blend into roar, and you must
raise your voice as if a hurricane was
howling about you. You are impressed,
but rather aggravated and annoyed.
There's snap to each report like the
cracking of great whip-a spiteful
sound which reminds you of dog fol-
lowing at your heels with his yelp! yelp!
yelp!
There is no more trying situation for
port of battery. He is only few
yards in front of the guns. and he not
only feels the full shock of the concus-
sion as communicated to the earth,
from the "kiclx" of the gun, but the re-
port itself seems to strike the spinal
column and travel up to the back of the
head. rhen, too, there is the fear of
shells exploding prematurely or of
grape and canister ''dribbling" to cause
wounds or death, and it is positive
relief to see column of the
enemy break cover for charge.
The roar of the guns does
not linge- for hours after, as is
the case with mortars and siege guns,
but you find your nerves on edge and
your temper spoiled for day or two.
The men who lay in lines with battery
firing over them probably endured
more mental suffering than the enemy
at whom the guns were pointed. The
fire OF great guns is terribly trying for
the frat few minutes. but this feeling

Saw Her Husband Devoured by Bears.
A dispatch from Boise City, Idaho,

says:
William Easton, aged 6S years, who
came to Idaho in 1865 from Cairo, ILL.,,
was devoured by cinnamon bears on
August 5. His aged wife, who is an
invalid, witnessed the dreadful tragedy,
but she was powerless to assist her fated
husband.
The scene of the horrifying occur
renee was Easton's ranch, eight miles
west of Elk City, in Idaho county. The
unfortunate rancher and his wife were
eating their breakfast when they heard
o great commotion in the calf pen.
Thinking the hogs had broken into the
pen to rob the calves of their food.
Easton picked up an ordinary carriage
whip and went forth to straighten mat
ters out. He climbed into the pen, and
seeing black snout inserted between
two fence rails, struck it sharp blow
with the whip. A sullen snarl apprised
him that he had encountered a bear in
stead of hog, and he started to leave
the pen to get a rife. Before he had
succeeded in getting over the fence
male bear ran around the pen and
seized him by his right leg. He
screamed with pain and the animal re-
leased him. AS quickly as his wound
and his age would permit Easton hob
bled to a smoke house and tried to
crawl through q window. The bear
pursued him, and seizing his hip, COM
menced to ravenously tear the flesh.
Agonizing screams issued from the old
mans lips. His invalid wife wheeled
herself to window, and when she saw
what was taking place, she, too, COM
menced to shrek. Her husband, al
ready terribly wounded, cried out:
''Do not make noise or you will be
killed"
A moment later he fell to the ground
and another bear, half-grown cub,
Joined the first animal in tearing at the
PROSTATE man. Mrs. Easton, almost
transfxed with horror. could do moth
ing to assist her husband. She heard
him moan:
so Lord, help me to bear this death.
Oh God protect my helpless wife,"
At this point she became unconscious,
and when she revived she could see
only fragments of her husbands body
and clothing, while the bears were
frolicking in the orchard. Four hours
later Easton's hired man came in from
a hunt. He heard the wife's horrible
story, and after little search he found
Mr.. Easton's head, spine, and thigh
bones, but no other portions of the
body. The bears were killed.
