THE FIRING WAS HEAVY.

feet that if the assault should fail and
the day go against him there lay be-
yond the Tennessee river almost at his
feet, and over the mountain range be-
yond, the only route of retreat-and
practically an impossible one.
Defeat or partial victory meant the
loss Of the army in one way or another,
with the men already half famished and
the animals dying, as they had been for
weeks, of absolute starvation. 1t would
be impossible to paint the consequences
of less than complete victory over
Bragg-the dispersion if not the cap
ture of his whole army which for days
and days had been waiting to do what
Bragg felt sure he would do-caPture
Grants army or virtually annihilate it.
This he promised President Davis, and
he only waited for Grant to be in sit
uation to make the work easiest and
the result complete.
Such were the circumstances under
which Grant. Thomas and the whole
army waited for the signal Grant
moved about nervously, seemingly for
getting his lameness During the en-
tire day he had chewed-not smoked
the inevitable cigar, perhaps many.
The great muscles of the neck and
jaws worked spasmodically and at
times were swollen under intense feel
ing. Grants jaw, naturally prom
inent feature, it is probable was never
SO prominent before. His every facul
W was alert and intensified. Thomas

A sewing circle of aristocratic, Yam
kee-hating southern women had been
at work on a confederate flag which
was to be sent to the Prussian battal-
ion fighting in Beauregard's army. The
general was kept fully informed of the
progress of the making of the flag
When it was finished he sent for one of
the ladies and said: II want con-
federate flag, and I hear you have n
fine one. The Sunday y-school children
in my town are going to celebrate the
Fourth of July, and as they have never
seen a confederate flag l want to send
them a nice one." The lady held up
her hands and protested. .r ..
80, but, my dear madam" said But
ler, ''you slept last night with that
flag under your pillow. Take my car
riage and bring it to me-" She brought
it meekly, and Butler said: Don't
make another; this will be plenty

strolsed his long beard as he drew his
huge frame up to its full height, as il
to catch the sound OF Hooker's guns
rs he turned, as did also Grant, toward
that quarter, but there was no sound
The moment had come for the sequel
and six guns were fred in rapid success
sion by the battery stationed on the
"Knot"
AS If operated by fixed machinery,
the troops which had been lying in
wait on the broken plain, partly hid
den by the growth of small trees,
moved out, driving the confederate
picket line before them. So impetu-
GUS was their advance that the order
before given to halt at the confederate
picket line and rifle pits was disregard
ed, and the column swept on, and be.
gan to ascend the mountain, which
was so steep that in many places a di-
rect ascent was impossible. Seeing
there was no halt, Thomas turned to
Grant, saying: General, the boys
don't stop They go on" To which
Grant quickly replied: Let them go.
They can't stop now," and on they went.
Nothing escaped the eyes of Grant
and Thomas, who stood near together
pealSing only occasionally, their man
ner being indicative of intense interest.
A lifetime, it might almost be said,
concentrated into the moments during
which these scenes, almost unequaled
in warfare, were being enacted. All
eyes on the "Knot" were fixed on the
ascending columns. The cannonading
was deafening, and altogether, it is be-
lieved, not during the war was there
anything comparable to it.
The height was gained, the crest was
taken. On the plains beyond the enemy
was fleeing. All this could be seen
from the Knot" Grant gave the
word: Mount" The order was quick
ly obeyed and half hundred horse
men were following Grant and Thomas,
the scene of complete victory.
What of Grants manner now? What
of Thomas? That both generals we're
relieved as it seldom happens to human
beings to be, there can be no doubt.
Outwardly, at least, neither was the
least excited. Grant chewed fresh
cigar and Thomas stroked his beard.
That night long past midnight,
Grant might have been seen alone sit
ting on n camp chair outside his quar-
ters at Chattanooga quietly smoking
cigar with no other feeling, so far as
outward appearances, than that Of
quaint satisfaction over the stupendous
events of the WASHINGTON Post

BROWN WAS A RELIEF.
Nino Smiths In Succession Were To,
Many for the Lieutenant.


Nino Smiths In Succession Were Too
Many for the Lieutenant.
An amusing instance of the frequent
recurrence of the surname Smith
among the soldiers of the civil war is
given in Berdan's United States
Sharp-shooters. A stranger lieuten-
ant, requiring detail of ten men for
special duty, called on a certain COM
pany and took their names. The men
were in line at attention when the
officer began at the end of the column.
Whats your name?" he asked.
"Smith."
"And what is yours?" to the next
man.
smith"
They were put on the list as Smith /,
Smith =.
"Well, what's yours?"
Smith" replied mum Der three.
The officer looked queer, and grum-
bled something ABOUT the popularity
of the thing.
What may l call your name?" to
the next.
smith"
Your name?" to the fifth.
smith"
The lieutenant's face was getting
red. He looked the men over, and said
sternly:
What do you mean?"
But it was no joke. The detail stood
firm, like so many statues, and the Off
GER proceeded.
What on earth is your uame?"
demanded.
Smith," came the monosyllable an
swer from number six.
The officer fairly jumped. Then he
stormed and fumed, and wanted to
know if every man in the company
was named Smith. BY this time a
crowd had gathered, and the officer be-
gan to cool down. The list must be
made, SO he hurried through.
Your name?" to the next man
Smith"
''And yours?
Smith
"And next?"
"Smith."
The officer was again becoming furi-
GUS, and the crowd was laughing bois-
terously.

PNEUMATIC TUBES ABROAD.
Their Extensive Use In London, Paris.
Vienna and Berlin.

Their Extensive Use In London, Paris.
Vienna and Berlin.
Pneumatic tubes for local transmits
sion of kilograms are now used in all
the principal cities of Great Britain.
AT present about fifty miles of such
tubes are in operation, requiring an
aggregate of 400 horse power, and
transmitting daily average of over
1o5, 900 messages (or 80, 100000 annu-
ally), more than half of these in Lon
don. The lengths of tubes vary greatly;
the average length is $50 yards; the
greatest single length in London is
3,992 yards The tubes are of lead laid
in cast iron pipes for protection, and
are usually of "a inches inner diam
eter; some tubes of y and some OF 3
inches inner diameter are used. AS
general rule, with the same air pres
sure and diameter of tube, the speed
varies inversely as the length of the
tube In tubes not over u mile long
the usual average speed is % to 80 miles
an hour. The carriers are of gutta-
percha covered with felt, with buffer
at the front end, and an elastic band at
the back or open end to hold in the
messages An ordinary carrier weigh
ing 29l ounces holds dozen messages.
The marked success of the British
pneumatic service led to the adoption
of similar systems in Paris, Vienna and
Berlin. The pneumatic system of Paris
was put into operation in 1866, and has
grown steadily, SO that to-day in Paris
tubes are used almost exclusively for
transmission of local kilograms and
letters demanding quick delivery. A
small stamped envelope, the petit bleu,
costing so centimes, or 10 cents, is used
for the message, which, dropped into a
special post-boX, is delivered anywhere
in Paris within an hour, often in
twenty five minutes.
In Vienna the ''tube-post" was estab-
lished in March, 1875. The nine dis
tricts of the city are connected with a
central station. The "tube-mail" is
dropped into special post boxes. col
lected every half hour, forwarded to the
central station and distributed. Pneu-
matte envelopes cost Is lsreuZers (about
6 cents), ordinary letters kreuzers
Tube letters" are delivered within one
hour ALTERNATING. The Vienna system
consists of main circuit of s. "a miles,
with three branch lines; total length,
7.2 miles.
In Berlin the Prussian postal authori.
ties began in 1862 discussion of measures
of relief for the overcrowded local tele-
graph system, and a pneumatic line was
opened in 1865 between the Central
telegraph station and the Exchange
building. The beginning of the present
extensive tube post" of Berlin dates
from 1876, since which time it has been
enlarged, until there are now over 2S
miles of tube line in the city, with 80
stations. Tube letters" are to-day de-
livered in Berlin more quickly than
kilograms at cost equivalent to ~
cents and tube postcards" at6A cents.
The tubes in Berlin are of wrought iron
and have an inner diameter of 2.55
inches The system is operated by eight
steam engines, aggregating only 12s
horse power.-Engineering Magazine.

ONCE UPON A TIME.

Oh yes, he's decent young fellow;
I've nothing against him, my dear,
And it's like that he thinks ae is counting,
And it's wholesome, u bit of q fear.
But when think back to my girlhood,
And your grandfather-he was the boyl
II these days were those days, my darling,
BY this I'd be wishing you Joy
he courted at fair and at frolc
He toasted me more than he ought
And don't like to think, to this day dear,
How he looked the day after he fought
Twas all II mistake that he fought for;
The other boy wasn't to blame;
Twas only fancy of Talbots
That Mike laughed in speaking my name
And the ways Talbot asked me to have him!
He'd hot even pass me the tea,
But he'd look in my eyes and then whisper:
"If I was that teacup, machreel"
If I'd give him my hand just in friendship,
He'd sigh to his boots, or rs deep
And say in his beautiful accents:
"Ah, when can l have 1t to keep?'
1t seemed that couldn't well hepit;
Just plagued him out OF his life,
Though still to myself kept saying
Twas that some day'd be his wife.
And then came the day of the jaunt, dear;
Twas TO an old ruin we went,
And he wandered me OF with himself, like,
And 1, for the once, was content
i fancied little blue flower
That grew in the crack of the wall
had he climbed like goat till he picked it,
And some way he managed to fall.
don't know to this day how l did it;
He'd have slipped to his death at the last,
But caught his two feet in my hands, DEAR
And held for his life safe and fast
And that boy, as he was, upside down there,
And cropping about for his life,
Calls up: You've my fats in your hands
dear,
Let go il you'll not be my wife"
Gould murder him? No. that couldn't!
j gave him no answer at all,
only held fast till he'd managed
To catch his two hands on the wall
stood there all laughing and crying,
And, well, you might fancy the rest
If you could-but these days are so different,
And each thinks her own day the best.
TERED not be another like Talbot,
No matter the day or the year,
And your boys nice, quiet, well-mannercd-
hope you'll be happy, my dear!
