Aside from his soldierly qualities. Gle
burne was a man of genius. In the winter
of 1864, while the army lay at Dalton
wasted to a shadow by disease, casualties
in battle and desertiou, he conceived the
idea of freeing the slaves and putting them
into the southern ranks as soldiers.
It was revolutionary. n most startling
proposal, but he championed it with such
fervor and ability that, although it was
unanimously rejected by his army col
leagues and following, he arose in the esti-
nation of the soldiery and the people.
One year later General Lee entertained q
similar proposition that had the indorse-
ment of the troops of some of the coast
states and held the matter under consider
alton at headquarters when the blow came
that wiped out Confederate armies, slavery
and all forever.
Cleburne met the death coveted by every
lion hearted warrior when victory rests
upon the standard or his foe. He fell at
Franklin, Tenn, Nov. 80, 1864, in the hot
test corner of that terrible battle. On the
daring march Of Hood to carry the wal
again into the north, Cleburne was called
out in sort of bivouac mass meeting for a
speech. Among other things, he said, II
will accomplish what next undertake, or
else will perish in the attempt" When
General Hood formed his columns for the
attack on Scofeld's lines at Franklin. he
stated to his subordinates that he desired
that the enemy be driven into Harpeth
river, which lay Immediately behind the
Onion position. at all hazards.
Cleburne saw in front of him two lines OF
Union works and anticipating hot work
asked permission to form his division into
! three lines of one brigade each. Hood

which was pasted on tho Tin box in which
Mr.. Salamander made his long trip, the
creature was caught in one of the fresh
water lakes of the Japanese mountains
on the 4th Of July last. Unfortunately
the tag does not state whether the speci-
men is young or an old example of the
salamander family. Naturalists who
have examined it since its arrival at the
Passe, however, declare that it is about
years of age.

within few hours after Mr.. Lincoln's
arrival in Washington. and Lincoln was
greatly impressed with the courtesy and
consideration shown to him by the re-
firing president. Mr.. Cleveland when
he arrived in Washington in 1885 called
early in the day upon President Arthur
and was cordially received, and before
an hourelapsed the president returned
the call. Cleveland was also invited to

land was exceptionally fortunate when
he was first inaugurated. Those who
live in Washington look forward to
the Inauguration ceremonial with
keenost anticipations Of pleasure, which
are always-teinpered somewhat by
apprehension that the weather may be
bad. President Harrison was inaugu-
rated on day when the rain was both
heavy and chilly. Garfeld's Inaugural
ton took place amid the most unpleas
ant atmospheric conditions, although
the rain did not fall until evening. The
day was raw and cloudy, and those who
were spectators suffered considerably,
especially the company which was per-
mitted to sit upon the platform erected
at the east portico. and upon which the
president stood when ho tool, the oath

Perhaps the most trying inauguration
day was that which occurred on the 4th
Of March. 1878. General Grant was
then to take the oath Of president for a
second time, and arrangements had been
made for very brilliant military ard

creasing in severity during the night, SO
that on the morning of the 4th Washing
ton was suffering as it seldom suffers
from cold accompanied by high wind.
1t was as near an approach to blizzard
as the capital has ever experienced. The
military suffered very greatly, some of
them were overcome with the cold, and
tho cadets from West Point and the
naval academy who were not well pro-
tected were completely demoralized,
some Of them suffering from frost bitten
ears and fingers. An immense throng

this ceremonial, but many did not dare
to venture forth and face the cold
But when Cleveland appeared to take

Washington gets perfect illustration
Of the truth which is contained in that
trite saying, THE king is dead; long live
the king!" Oh Inauguration Day. With
the administration of the oath presi-
dent becomes a private citizen, and q
private citizen becomes the occupant Of
an Office which Mr.. Abram S. Hewitt,
of New York, has described as the grand
est political Office upon earth. He who
was president in the morning and now
becomes ex-president usually goes away
without any formal courtesy at parting.
Mr.. Hayes was driven from the Capitol
directly to the railway station, where
his family was awaiting him, and started
for his home in Ohio, and within an hour
had as narrow an escape from death as
any man ever experiences who is in a
railway accident.
General Arthur quilted the White
House for good when he left it to escort
his successor to the Capitol. After the
oath was administered to Cleveland Ar

he was Mr.. Frelinghuysen's guest for

that President Harrison will leave the

A Shedding Experience.

The story comes up from below the
city about n man who attempted to cross
the Androscoggin on the ice and was
swamped, together with his team. He
had been hauling wood across the river
for several days and had just one more
load to haul
AS the water was up on the face of the
ice he first thought to put off hauling it,
but the thought that perhaps there would
not be another chance to haul it made
him go across. When he started back,
he thought he wouldn't go in the same
track where he had hauled the rest, so
he went little above.
The ice began to crack slowly when he
got to the middle. Quick as flash he
unfastened The two tugs and one hold
back. Then he struck the horse violent
ly with the whip. at the same time the
sledload of wood went through with q
crash. He commenced to sink with it.
but when the horse had been struck hc
jumped ahead, and breaking the off hold
back jerked the man off Of the load and
dragged him to the shore with the reins.
There he stopped, and the man got up.
When he looked back the top of the
wood and the shafts could be seen stick
ing ont of the hole in the ice. The water
was not deep He says that he would
rather lose the wood than go near the
hole again. 1t is frozen in now.-Lewis-
ton Journal.

''CAME CHARGING DOWN THE LINES"
The story Of what occurred then is well
known. Opdycke's Union brigade and the
Twelfth and Sixteenth Kentucky of Reilly's
brigade, whose works had been preached,
and the survivors of Comrades and Lanes
commands who had rallied at the reserves,
hurled themselves without orders and with
an ardor equal to that of the assailants up
on Cleburne's men. Then for an hour ragged
In that narrow space the hottest open field
and breastworks struggle of the war. The
Confederates on the right and left of the
pike, catching at the advantage gained by
Cleburne, bore to their flank in either direc-
tion to drive the wedge home. Cleburne led
his men again and again upon the works
where the Union men still held out and
was repulsed in each attempt. Finally,
General Cranberry, who commanded the
brigade which had preached Reilly's line
and was fighting hand to hand with OPP
dycke's reserves inside the barricades, fell
dead. Cleburne at that moment, seeing
Union charge that threatened to sweep
Granberry's struggling soldiers out of the
works, rode to the spot to inspire the men
in place Of their fallen leader.
The exact manner of Cleburne's death
has long been misstated. A few yards to
the right of the pike, where the Confeder-
ates made several desperate charges to
widen the breach, n number Of Confederate
officers fell, General Adams being killed on
the Union works. Cleburne fought there
and there headed his last charge. But he
was killed in passing obliquely to the left
to reach the spot where Granberry's men
were fighting to hold Reilly's line when
Opdyckc and other reserves were charging
to recapture them.
General G. w. Gordon, whose brigade
Joined Granberry's on the left of the pike,
and who led his men at the same time in q
charge for the same purpose, saw the whole
tragedy of Cleburnes death. He recalled
the incident in the course of a culogy upon
Cleburne long after erroneous accounts had
become fixed in history. Referring to the
hurricane OF shot that greeted the assail-
ants rs soon as the Union reserves got
aroused, he said:
"Such a din was there,
As IL men fought on earth below,
