Lookout Mountain.
N. p. Calkin, 42d Ind, First Brigade, First
Division, Fourteenth Corps, Parsons, Kan,
having seen the article on Lookout Mountain,
says that his command lay ON Tie east side Of
Chattanooga Creek. He does not wish to steal
any OF tie glory from ComEade Davis, who says
" the heavy fog or mist which hung over the
valley and around the foot of the mountain
prevented us from seeing that the enemy had
given up their bold on the valley, and in order
~
forward to reconnoiter, advancing down the
cast side of the mountain into the valley.
The evidence of an evacuation was complete
as the rebel dead, abandoned guns, and stores
proved fight by night" The reader would in
fer that the only regiment that did any fight
ing was that of Comrade Davis, but the writer
wishes to say that the Fourteenth Corps took
part in the closing struggle On Lookout Mount
ain. About o'clock p. M. Nov. "a the First
Brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Corps,
crossed Chattanooga Creek and advanced up
the eastern slope to the White House. then
filed south and formed line of battle up and
down the slopes Of the mountain, no Federal
troops being in front of them, and they were
under fire from the top of the mountain. The
writer's company had three men wounded, one
mortality before the lines were formed. They
were under fire until 1 o'clock next morning,
when the word passed down the line that the
rebels were coming and the boys opened up and
gave them few volleys. which closed the
nights entertainment but they lay on the
ground until daybreak, when they were
ordered to fall back in rear OF a ridge. After
breakfast they marched south, during which
they saw great many dead rebels and aban-
doned stores which showed plainly what their
fire had been during the night. They marched
down the valley and took position south of the
road and guarded Rockers flank, after which
they recrossed Chattanooga Creek and took
position with their corps.

Fighting the Indians.

A. G.. Tucker, Co. G., 1st Mimi. MID Rangers,
Marshall, Mimi, says the first engagement his
regiment had with the Indians was at Big Hills,
at which place the Surgeon of the regiment
DR.. Wissner-was killed. He had gone on in
advance, hoping by his influence to bring the In
dians to terms, having been an agent for them,
and therefore had considerable influence over
them. Gen. Sbley had been ordered to 90 into
camp and fortify, which had been partly obeyed.
Two companies were body -guards for Sibley,
while the rest Of the regiment were to the right
of the camp, facing Alkali Lake. While in line
of battle an object was seen through the Colo
nels glasses to the west and north of the line
which proved to be the Doctor. The Doctor
came up and said that he was confident the
Indians would surrender and that if Gen.
Sibiey and staff would come to the front and
meet the Chiefs they would speak for peace
After the Doctor had refurnished his haversack,
he started back to the Indians, against tine pro-
test of Gen. Sibley and staff. The Doctor had
gone but 100 yards when an Indian appeared
and signaled him to go back, while another
Indian, mounted on pony, rode up, discharged
his gun at the Doctor, the contents of which
passed through the Doctors bowels. The Indian
Immediately wheeled his horse and was soon
out of sight. The rangers Immediately dis
mounted and deployed skirmishers, and for
five miles fought the Indians who fought like
devils to hold the lines until thoir squaws
could break camp aad scatter through the hills.

he was killed. The badge was found on Look

the medal restored to them. (The comrade

DUTY and Pleasure.

AS sit in front of my fire, in the red
flames numberless pictures appear and
disappear. Now | see wide plain,
green as the heart of an emerald. Tie
sky in the west is afa1ne with colds and
reds of the setting sun, fading and deep
ening like living things. Beyond the
plain in forest two figures stand apart.
One is clothed in a garment black as the
impenetrable night, and from the dark
veil which covers her head looks face
beautiful as marble image. The large.
soft eyes are heavy with sorrow. but the
beautiful mouth is set in an expression
of firm and cruel command. One white
hand holds back the veil, and the lines
of that hand against the somber back
ground bespeak strength that makes
one tremble. A diadem of jewels rests
on her broad brow and CLEANS and
sparkles with the colors of the sky.
Her eyes search the forest increasingly.
Poised on one foot the other figure.
smaller and delicate as a rose leaf, seems
about to float in the air. A white veil,
which glows and burns like an opal, is
thrown around her. Roses are in her
hair and drop their fragrant petals at
her feet Her shining eyes are as cold
and as blue as northern sky, and her
hair is like strands of twisted gold. Her
full red lips curve in an alluring smile,
and her small hands and delicately
rounded arms, rosy in the sun rays,
move in graceful rhythm, which is
music unheard. She. too, looks toward
the forest.
At last a maiden creeps trembling
from the shadow of the trees; she turns
her head from side to side like a hunted
hare. Both figures advance to meet
her. She gazes timidly from one to the
other-a dull blot as she stands between
them One whispers duty and the other
pleasure. The fire is burning low: the
picture is fading.-Frances Chapman in
Short Stories.

white gloves had been ordered to com plete the outfit.
 There was another there that was ever so pretty. It was more somber, but liked it. The material was a very dark gray-almost black-with white lines running through it. Feather trim ming edged the skirt. The waist was very long and had small pointed belt of white at the waist line. The bodice was cut at the neck very low all around, and joined to 8 chemisette of white, with straps of the material over each shoulder, fastened at the back to the top of the bodice. The sleeves were full and puffed at the top, with tight-fit- ting undersleeve.
 There were yards and yards of beau tiful material lying there in soft heap ready to be made up. It was such 8 pretty color, pale yellow, little softer than ordinary yellow, and crinkled just like the old seersuckers. Then there were little gray silk stripes through it that looked like ribbon sewed on. This is the order.of the stripes, and if you can get material like it think you will agree with me that you never had pret- tier dress. First, a broad stripe of the crinkled gold and thread stripe of the gray. Then a small stripe of yellow and another thread-lilke stripe of the gray. This repeated three times. Then another one of the real broad gold stripes. Then half-inch stripe of gray and a half-inch of gold and repeat ! this five times; then begin at the begin , ming and go through it again. Itwas 1 so soft and so pretty wished that it had been made into dress.
 But when some of the pious folk get home from church. and lay off their wraps the pretty waists you see then don't always harmonize with the dark and simple skirts. For instance, black silk one with a fancy pattern in knots all over it. The vest was turned back in deep revers faced with rich brocade and then narrowed into the very thin nest of points. The waist itself was of white silk gathered back and front and fastened under a broad full belt. The collar was plain, just like the belt, only narrower. It looked so pretty with the girls complexion, which was extremely clear, and with her hair, which was a soft, light brown, and curled in a fluff over her head. She didn't look very sanctifed in that waist, though. Do l you think so?

IS IT A PLOT t?

Mr. Armour Receives Q Bottle of Wine
 Said to be Poisoned.
 CHICAGO, March Tt was reported yesterday that an attempt had been made to kill P. D. Armour by sending him bottle of poisoned wine.
 James B. Fitzgerald, so it was said, formerly in the employ of Armour, stayed at hotel in North Clark street last Thursday night, and during the night heard two men talking in the next room very earnestly. He put his ear to the key hole and heard them plot to kill P. D. Armour by proposing to send him bottle of poisoned wine. A letter was to be sent with the bottle purporting to be from Potter Palmer, praising the good qualities of the wine and dilating on it's rarity.
 The bottle was sent to MT. Armour's house on Prairie avenue, with the Palmer letter. The messenger boy said he had received the bottle at the office on Wa bash avenue. It is probably from some crank who wanted money. MT. Armour is not worrying for fear of his life by any means, and takes no notice of such fooliShneSS

 ALBANY, N. Y., March 7.-Within the past few days there has poured into the Executive Chamber petitions from nearly every labor organization in the State asking for a reorganization of the Blu reau of Mediation and Arbitration. The Board as now constituted, and as the law provides. consists of a Republican, . Democrat and 8 Labor representative. The members are Gilbert Robertson, jr., of Troy; Wm. Purcell, of Rochester, and Florence Donovan of Brooklyn, the latter being the representative of Labor.
 The law organizing the Board was the out come of labor agitation and the various labor bodies believes they should have voice in the selection, Mir. Dono. vans term of office has expired and the petitions presented to the Governor ask that he send to the Senate the name of John T. Cummings, of Kingston, @ rep resentative Knight of Labor and man thoroughly interested in, and conversant with the wants of the laboring men.
 The petitions now before the Governor number many hundred and each one is signed by from ten to thirty people be- sides having upon them the official stamp of the Knights of Labor. What the opposition is to MT. Donovan retain ing office is not known as it has always been supposed that he was very active in labor's interest.
