AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
Deed of Valor Enacted by one of General
Forests Command.

The Lincoln County Herald in
its account Of the late reunion Of
Forests staff and escort, quotes
the following from the many Incl
dents Of the war recounted by the
old veterans around the camp-fres:
Many will remember the engage
ment at Estenaula, Tenn, Deem
Der 20, 1868, when Lieut.. N. Boone,
with forty men routed two Federal
regiments and captured the entire
camps, with supper already cooked,
in the following manner:
"The night was crisp and cold,
and the enemy, having a good po-
sition on a slight elevation in the
woods, Lieutenant Boonemovedh his
men through a corn-stalk field, after
deploylng them into thin sklrm-
ish line and made each man COM
mander Of an imaginary regiment,
with orders to repeat all orders CIV
en- by him. So when they moved
up close enough to draw the enc
my's fire, Lieutenant Boone gave or
ders for his division to draw swords
and charge, which was repeated by
the entire command, after which
the men, raising their favorite yell
and charging through the frozen
stalk field sounded like Genera
Forrest with his entire command
The enemy only fred one volley
after which they made a preeipitatC
retreat, leaving Lieutenant Boone
in possession Of their entire camps
with supper already cooked"

AAMANs DULL rHUD.
Tom Reeds Prccodent Returns to Plague
the ConscienCeless Inventor.
Memphis COMMERCIAL

Memphis Commercially
The Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed
has been trimmed up just to our
taste. The great parliamentary
bully writhed and howled under
the keen knife Of Speaker Crisp,
but the operator calmly proceeded
with his business.
We hope that Mr.. Reed has be-
gun to know something of his linn
itations at last and to understand
that to ride rough-shod overa Dem
ocratic minority is one thing and to
bulldoze a Democratic majority is
another.
Mr.. Reed made first rate boss
so long as he had the brute power
of aconscienceless majority behind
him and could count hats for quo
rum, he was applauded to the echo
for every act Of tyranny and prais-
ed as hero when he was simply
playing the rufian and the bully.
Mr.. Reed plumed himself upon
having established the precedent
that the will Of the majority should
be absolute and that minorities had
no rights except to record their
votes against the policy of the ma
jority His attitude was hailed by
his fellow-partisans as a long step
in advance Of the evil parliament
airy methods which then prevailed.
But Tom Reed, the leader of a
minority, has forgotten all his wise
and progressive ideas and gone
back to his old tactics Of obstruc-
ton as naturally as a dog returning
to his vomit. He stoutly defended
and practised filibustering before
he was Speaker, and now he falls
back into his old habit without {
thought Of the magnificent senti
ments he put forth with such ap
parent earnestness when in order
to give the South over to desolatio1
he trampled the rules and prece
dents Of a hundred years under hi
feet.
Mr.. Reed wanted the majority tt
rule when it was a Republican ma
iority, but he wants the minority t,
rule when it is a Republican mi
nority. And that is where MI
Reed found that his precedent haC
returned to plague the inventor
The poisoned chalicewas commend
ed to his own lips. He was elevated
like Hannah, on his own gibbet, an,
left to dangle and squirm in the up
per air to promote the gaity Of ma
tons and the felicity Of the immo1
tai gods.

GRANITE COLUMNS.
How tho Hard Stone Is Turned Into
Shape.

How the Hard Stone Is Turned Into
Shape.
Granite for columns, balusters. round
posts and urns is now worked chiefly in
lathes, which, for the heaviest work,
arc made large enough to handle blocks
twenty-five feet long and five feet in di-
ametcr. Instead of being turned to the
desired size by sharp cutting instru-
mcnts. as in ordinary machines for
turning wood and metal, granite is
ground away by the wedge-like. action
of rather thick steel disks, rotated by
the pressure of the stone as it SLOWLY
turns in the lathe. The disks, which
are six or eight inches in diameter, are
set at quite an angle to the stone and
move with an automatic carriage along
the lathe bed. Large lathcs have four
disks, two on each side, and q column
may be reduced some two inches in di-
ameter the whole length OF the stone by
one lateral movement of the carriages
along the bed. The first lathe for
turning granite cuts only cylindrical or
conlcal columns, but an improved form
is so made that templets or patterns
may be inserted to guide the carriages,
and columns having any desired swell
may be as readily turned. Tor fine
grinding and polishing the granite is
transferred to another lathe where the
only machinery used is to produce a
simple turning or revolution of the
stone against iron blocks carrying the
necessary grinding or polishing materi-
ais.

A Case of Usury I'm London.

A London Shylocle recently attached
the salary of a teacher for debt for Dor
rowed money. The teacher gave the
following statement, which shows that
usury is not yeta lost art: SIN August,
1886, l borrowed e5 (only) of n Mr..
Louis of Finsbury-pavemcnt, who adj
vcrtised to lend money ON note of
hand For this said 95 signed bill
at month for G6. Not meeting it at
the enc of the month, paid him G1 for
renewal of the bill. This payment of Ell
L repeated every month until january,
1SS0-twcnty-eight months with two
exceptions when he increased the bill
to GS, but reduced the monthly interest
to 15s, which paid regularly until De-
cember, 1890. then offered and begged
him to accept payment of the RS by
equal monthly installments. He re-
fused to do so, and was advised to de-
cline further payments. Subsequently
he pressed me for payment, Offering to
accept new bill for the amount above
and interest, which 1 was unable to
meet. Hence his attachment of nv
salary" From the above statement it
would appear that the teacher in ques-
ton received e5 only, paid e44, and is
still in debt for an amount, including
interest and costs, of els los I'd.

must cease.

ED. INDEPENDENT: The Virginia
Chronicle takes issue with the Exam
iner in tho statement that "the nine
teenth century will be completed on
the last second Of December 81, 1900"
and remarks that "our conte nporary
may be in error to the amount of
twelve months;" but later on the
Chronicle says: "When the year 1900
is recorded that ends tho century,"
which to my mind, is a plain admis-
sion that the Examiner is right.
l have seen it stated recently that
tho Goth century will begin with the
opening Ct the ist day of January,
1901, and this would be true il the
above statement Of the Examiner be
true; but / cannot agree with tie
proposition, for hold that the Goth
century begins with the opening of
"-the 1st day of January, 1900, and I
will give my reasons.
Suppose that child had oeen born
on the 1gt day Of January, 1900; on
the 1st day Of January, 1919, he would
be 10 years Old, and wodld then enter
upon his Goth year, having completed
nineteen years Of his age. According
to the theory of the Examiner, and I
may say the Virginia Chronicle also,
the young man would be in the 10Th
year Of his age until the close OF De-
cember 81, 1919. B 1T, as matter of
fact, at the dawn of January 1, 1920,
no would say: II AIN 20 years old,
and now commence my 2lst year."
take the Same view in reckoning
the centuries. I hold that the nine
teenth century will end with the
close of December 81, 1899, aud that
tho twentieth century will begin with
the opening Of January /, 1900. Will

Attacked by Robbers in
Columbia Square.
MaIacflai Manning Beaten Into In
senSibility and Relieved of His
Property-Two Arrests.

At an early hour Yesterday morning
Malachai Manning Of 735 Brannan street.
teamster, was attacked in Colum bia
Square by three men, beaten into insensl-
bility and robbed Of 50 and q watch and
chain.
Manning in making his complaint to
Officers Thompson and Fleming. who
found him in the square bleeding from a
wound On the head, stated that at 5 o'clock
he was walking along Folsom street and
when crossing Seventh street noticed
three men walking behind him, but did
not pay any attention to them. He eD-
tered the square and sat on one of the
benches. intending to rest awhile before
going home. A few moments after taking
seat one of the three men came upto him
and asked him the way to street he
named. The information was given and
while he was talking some ono grabbed
him By the shoulders from behind and
asked him if he had any money.
His reply was that he was dead broke,
consequently could loan no money. As he
said this he heard a voice exclaim: Give
it TO him." The next moment he was
struck On the head with heavy instru-
meDt which felled him 10 the ground. He
attempted to cry out for help when he was
dealt several more blows and he did not
remember anything more until the officers
came up He then discovered that he had
been relieved Of his watch and chain and
money.
He gave the officers a description of the
three men, then search Of the neigDbor-
hood was made and In a saloon they found
three men WHO were drinking. As they
answered the description furnished bv
Manning the officers placed them under
arrest. The three resisted violently and
during the struggle one of them escaped
He was followed, but being nimble of foot,
made his escape. The other two wore
taken to the Southern police station, where
one gave the name OF Andrew Reese and
the other that Of George Murphy.
Manning declared positively that The
prisoners were two OF the men who at
tackled him, and upon his accusation they
were charged with robbery. The missing
watch and chain was not found on either,
but upon the person Of Murphy was found
sungshot. He refused to explain the
possession of this weapon Of offcnse. The
"fficers are OF the opinion that 1t was the
instrument used to knock Manning into
insensiblity.
The men who are under arrest and the
one who made his escape are well known
to the police and for some time have been
on the official black list
