Then it appeared that the poor fell

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will no.
accept any substitute if offered.

3. Long literary and scientific articles
must be avoided. The words Ito be con-
tinued" must not be used, as they excite

nent people. Should a governor or any
inferior oificeholder be accused OF theft,

That the earths motion has an APP.
probable effect upon artillery fire, de-
tlecting the projectile from a straight
course may be news to many and as
such would probably seem a novel
notion. 1t has, and the exact nature
and extent of effect is an important
point of study with artillery experts.
An English army expert told of the
results of many interesting expert
ments along this line in paper read
before the Royal artillery institution
the other day. Firing from north to
south there is a divergence of pro-
iectiles TO she left, due to the earth's
rotation, and firing due north the di-
vergence is to the right. The extent
of the pull" varies at different POINTS
on the earth's surface, and with pro-
jectiles fred at different speeds and
elevations. In England defleXtion
of five inches is found to occur with

Abraham Lincoln and Edward
Everett spoke at the dedication of the
National cemetery at Gettysburg,
November 10, 1863. The place, the
occasion, the audience, the associa-
tions were in the highest degree in
spring. Everett was an orator
of deserved renown, with copious
and glittering vocabu airy, graceful
rhetoric, strong, cultivated mind,
elegant scholarship, rich, flexible
voice, and a noble presence. His adj
dress occupied two hours in delivery,
and was worthy of the speaker and
his theme At the close, Lincoln rose
slowly on the platform of the
pavilion. From an ancient case he
drew pair of steel-framed spectacles,
with bows clasping upon the temples
in front of the ears, and adjusted
them with elaboration. lie took
from his breast pocket few sheets Of
foolscap. which he unfolded and held
in both hands. From this manuscript,
in low tones, without meditation or
emphasis, he read 266 words, and sat
down before his surprised. perplexed,
and disappointed auditors were aware

All Is still across the valley,
As we lay our guns at rest.
Save the pi ket's random volley
Below the frowning crest.
While along the horizon rim
Screamed billows of fire and smoke.
And then the foe, gray and grim
When all our batteries woke
BY columns massed they rally and charge
On the heie hts OF the rivers shore,
Retreating down the shady marst
With u rumbling volley and roar.
AS n wall in that dreadful fray,
When they came with iiery breath
Harrison's raUment stood that day
When they met the fire OF death.
They checked the tide Of the rebels gay
And scattered the troops of Hardee

When johnson charged with his army.

Where Thousands Fell.

1t is reckoned that within ten miles
of Chattanooga more fighting was done
chan anywhere else during the late
war, and the battle-fields IN that
neighbor-hood are particularly inter-
esting on that account. At that point
the Western military operations were
concentrated, writes Washington
correspondent of the Boston Tran
script Into the valley below Mission
Ridge the bold eminence of Lookout
mountain projects. Thus from the
top of Lookout mountain spectators
can view the whole scene of the con-
flict of Mission Ridge The lines are
TO be marked along Mission Ridge
where Braggs army was stationed,
and where the regiments of the army
of the Cumberland attacked him.
Likewise the Union and the Confed-
crate lines will be indicated on Look
out mountain, which battlefield can
be viewed from the top Of Mission
Ridge.
From Lookout mountain the OBJ
server can look down upon the de-
lenses which the army of the Cumber-
land, under General Thomas, threw
up around Chattanooga. Although
the town has been extended over a
great part of the works, some of the
Qualifications still remain and will be
preserved intact. The sites of other
forts and earthworks will he marked
with tablets placed on buildings or
otherwise.
At Chattanooga the Tennessee river
makes turn SO as to leave u point of
land known as Moccasin point, be-
cause it is shaped like an Indian moe
casin. Just at the big toe of the moe
casin was stationed Union battery.
IT was directly under Lookout noun
tain and the Confederates kept firing
st it constantly but they could rarely
hit it. Because men are accustomed
only to aiming at objects at or nearly
on level they find it very difficult to
shoot down hill or up hill with accu-
racy.
That is one reason why the Federals
were able to storm successfully the
precipitous ascent of Mission Ridge
Their adTersaries could not hit them
as they came up. The ideal place to
defend is not a steep, but gentle
slope. One OF the most extraordinary
incidents of the war occurred at this
very battle. General Sheridan rode
up the mountain on horseback
wonderful feat in itself. Alta turn in
the pathway he suddenly found him
self close in front of hostile battery.
almost at the muzzles of the guns. A
touch of match and horse and rider
would have been blown 10 atoms
But, not losing his nerve for an in
slant, he waved his hand with
