Such general, with such troops,
fashioned by his own personality, may
be trusted to fight as long as hundred
of them remain together with arms in
their hands. This quiet determina-
ton to struggle to the last impene-
trable to panics, was found in every
army or corps commanded by Thomas.
1t was the response of manhood to
manhood, and military writer's should
not fail to give it due consideration
when they deal with the elements of
the highest generalship. An army is
the reflex of the general, and the opin-
ion of an American army of its general
is subtle and accurate.
Gen. Thomas died at the age of fifty

honors his countrymen could offer
would have been open to him, but it is
probable that he would have declined
all political station. Virginia did much
for the union when she gave for its de

"Pap" Thomas Was the One General Who
Never Numbered.
Was Thomas the best general on
either side during the WARP The ques-
ton invites discussion, for the affirma-
tive answer seems to be spontaneously
rising out of the smoke and dust of the
great conflict. Though in the thick
of the fighting for four years, in high
position, Thomas never made amistake
or gave advice that he could wish to
recall. He commanded at two impor-
tant battles-Mill Springs and Nash
ville-and in both the enemy was OBJ
liberated, which is to say that the ar
mics thus defeated never made another
stand. Thomas, holding the center at
Stone river, staid the tide of disuster,
and then by steadily opposing retreat
redeemed the battle He saved the
entire army at Chickamauga by hold
ing together it's left and center after
the commander in chief and two corps
commanders had quit the field under
the belief that the army was ruined. 1t
was the wing commanded by Thomas
that climbed Missionary Ridge and
swept Bragg into retreat. In the At

the first of Hoods assaults after Gen.
Joe Johnston had been relieved from
the command of the confederates.

A WoMAN'S COURAGE.
An Incident OF the First Days Battle at
Gettysburg.

Gettysburg.
Mrs Peter Thorn, of Gettysburg,
lived in the house at the entrance of
the borough cemetery. The house was
used as headquarters by Gen. o. o.
Howard. Mrs. Thorn's husband was
away from home at that time (serving
in the Hundred and Forty-eighth regi-
mcnt of Pennsylvania volunteers and
stationed in Virginia., leaving her with
two quite young children. During the
first day of the fight Gen. Howard
wanted somo one to show him and tell
about different roads leading from Get
tysburg, and asked number of men
and boys who We're in the cellar of the
house to go with him and point them
out. But these persons were all fear
full and refused to go. Then Mrs. Thorn
showed her courage and patriotism by
voluntarily offering to show the roads.
This offer was at first refused by
Gen. Howard, who said he did not wish
a woman to do what man had not the
courage to do. Mrs. Thorn persisted
in her offer, saying: Somebody must
show you, and 1 can do it; / was born
and brought up here and know the
roads as well as anybody" Her offer
was accepted, and with the general and
his horse between her and fire of the
enemy, Mrs. Thorn went from one spot
to another, pointing out the different
roads. When passing along the line of
troops, the general was greeted with:
why do you take woman for a
guide? This is no place for her." II
know" said the officer but could
not get man to come; they were all
afraid"
This answer to them started cheers
for Mrs. Thorn, which lasted several
minutes and showed that our soldiers
admired the courage shown at such a
time.-The Veteran.

A Sad story of the War Related by Gen
Grant.
1t was in field hospital within
whose canvas walls many of our brave
boys lay wounded and dying Among
them were two comrades who were
more like Damon and Pythias than any
other two men ever knew in real life.
They had been born and bred in the
same town, had enlisted at the same
time, and had never been separated for
moment since they first donned Uncle
Sans blue uniform. l am sure that
either would gladly have laid down his
life for the other. They had both been
slightly wounded before the one hav-
ing received bayonet thrust in the
left arm, and the other having had the
index and middle fingers of his right
hand shot away.
Now, as they. lie side by side, their
injuries are of much more serious
character. The surgeon looked very
grave as he turned from one to the
other, and the gravity of his express
sion decpened us he concluded his sec
ond examination. Then, as was his
custom-for he held it physicians
duty to inform a patient of the true
state of his case-he told them plainly,
but not without feeling, that they both
had but few minutes to live. "All

INJURED the other. 'Give me your hand,

The dying man grasped the extended

one partly shot away on the battle

hand, and Tom, his eyes fast glazing

Yet hundreds of farmers carry all their

1t is really surprising in view of the
much vaunted attention bestowed upon
personal comfort by those who cater
to the public in any shape how much
neglect is shown in small details. Has
anybody yet discovered, for instance,
why tits that the windows of railroad
carriages, even the most luxurious
ones, are almost invariably so con-
structed that when raised the lower
sash comes athwart the line of vision,
and to see anything of the scenery you
have either to duck your head beneath
it or strain your neck TO get your eyes
located above it? Then again, what
perverse ingenuity and disregard OF
common sense is it that prompts rail-
road companies to keep on making the
catches for raising the windows so
preposterously small that one cannot
get anything like a decent purchase
upon them, and thus it becomes we'll
nigh impossible to raise window that
offers slight resistance without a
vast expenditure of muscular effort out
of all proportion to the necessities of
the case and generally involving la
mentable loss of temper and waste of
profanity? Verify there are some things
in this world that ought to be as clear
as daylight that no fellow can under
stand. N. Y. Herald

the charge against him of AFRO
gantly assuming duties which do
not belong to him. He, in effect,
says that he does not propose TO
let the Silver City board of educa-

forsooth, he regards the clerk Of
the board, Mr.. H. II. Belts, as "a
dangerous man." and that he pro-
poses to act in this way even if he
commits a "fault' in so doing.
The people of Silver City thought
Mr.. Belts a good man for that
place and elected him a member
of the board last April, but Mr..
Thielmann decides that he knows
better than the people, who ought
20 serve them. The worst thing
that we have heard against Mr..
Belts is that he was a warm sup
porter of Mr.. Thielmann when the
latter applied for the position of
assistant principal in the Silver
City public school and worked
hard to get the place for him.
