PHIL KEARN Y.
The Comte de Paris Pays Tribute to His
FeIIoW-Soldier
IA I

-lCentury.I
It was after the review that made the per-
sonal acquaintance of the officers with whom
was to have the good fortune TO fight for cause
which was already dear to me. All made me
cordially welcome, but it was with Kearny that
l found myself most at home. He it was who
could speak to me of the French army in Al
gera in lS40, and Of the memories left by my
family in that country. He did so in terms
which deeply touched the heart of the exile,
the son of the Due d'Oreans. Kearny had par
ticipated in one of those campaigns on African
ground which brought out strongly the merits
of the French soldier. He had also associated
himself with the triumphs of France in the
Italian campaign of 1859.
One who saw Phil Kearny recognized in him
the typical soldier. As early as 1S49 the young
and brilliant cavalry officer had lost his left
arm before one of the gates of Mexico at the
battle of Churu5usco. His infrmity did not
prevent him from always mounting the most
vigorous looking horses, which he controlled
on the march with rare elegance. holding in his
only hand his reins and his naked sword.

which almost invariably hung about his shoul-

ted to attract, soon learned to appreciate the
noble qualities Of his heart, the-frmness of his
will, the accuracy of his judgment, the truth
fulness and grandeur of his soul. This man,
apparently so nervous, was calmness itself in
the presence of the enemy. His unerring eye,
his prompt decision, his clear and concise or
ders at once revealed in him tho true warrior.
He inspired an unbounded confidence in all
those who had once been under fire with him.
If lie did not spare his soldiers at the decis-
i've moment he spared himself still less, and by
his example obtained from his followers truly
heroic efforts.

don't think that the enemy buried their
dead nm the battIefeId

don't think that the enemy buried their
dead on the battlefield
After a week or so citizens were prohibited
from coming after the bodies of their dead,
and large detail was made from the various
regiments and all the Union dead were
buried, usually by the regiments to which
they belonged, and the dead from each regi-
ment was put in grave or trench to them
selves, generally two layers deep, with
covering of blankets and oyercoats spread on
before putting on the dirt, so that the top
layer of men would be foot and half or
two feet below the surface, then the grave
finished up with good high mound on top.
The Fort Donelson battlefield covered
large area Of ground for the number of
troops engaged; but for brevity, as well as
a distaste for such scenes as pertain to it, /
decline to attempt a description. / will,
however, make mention of one, out of sew
eral similar acts, which / remember of
dead rebel, who l imagine was the sharp
shooter that sent so many bullets crashing
through the icy tree-tops the night before
the battle, who had fallen dead and had
frozen hard and stiff as he fell, had been
gathered up by some of the mischievous
boys and propped up behind stump, and
with a musket lying across the top of the
stump in front of him, hat on one side of
his head, and his head inclined to one side
as if looking through the sights and along
the gun barrel, looked as if he were still
sharpshooting This old fellow, however
was soon taken down and relieved from
duty by his comrades, who were out there
burying their dead.
/ cannot say from observation or personal
knowledge what took place at or about the
fort itself, as l was away If to the rigEU of
the fort, and don't know now whether the
fort and the gunboats were engaged on the
18th, the day of the battle, or not.

fore or after the battle. / went up that way

battle was raging in the woods over to the

A Small Still Voice.

They say that the mountsineers of Kentucky,
Tennessee, and adjoining States have no sense
of humor, and possibly they have not. Be that
as it may, as l rode by a miserably poor hillside
farm one day, on the headwaters of Big Sandy,
| saw the farmer sitting on the fence, chewing
a bite of long green very eOmplseently.
GOOD morning" l said; how far is it to
Fanshaw's mill?"
'Bout three miles in the way you've got to
CO." he replied in whisper.
Another question or two brought the sama
whispered answer.
What's the matter?" asked, have you got
a cold?"
No, mister" he whispered again. "taint

Suddenly there was another rap on the door,

man bounced into the room.

in coarse, excited voice. but are you aware
Mr.. Vanderyeldt, sir. that that there money

five eagles close to the silk MERGERS little heap.
The two tradesmen exchanged looks. The
confusion on Mr.. Vanderveldts mind rendered
his stolid countenance more miserable than
ever
vague suspicion was slowly taking form in
his saturniue mind. He rose and went to his
desk, from which he laborously drew forth the
red canvas bag containing the residue Of the

This he emptied upon the table, and taking
coins from the heap at random, he sounded
them upon the table. They all fell dead as

Appalling
Forest Fires,
Over 1000 People Perished.

The most appalling calamity which
the great Johnstown disaster, has been
the recent forest fires in northern Min
nesota. The details now being published
in the press dispa tches can only be read
with a feeling of horror. A number ol
small lumbe towns have been swept
out of existence by perfect tornadoes of
flames, which made the whole aimos-
phers. fiery furnace in which no
breathing thing could survive. A SINH
lar calamity occurred twenty years ago
in the Wisconsin lum Der regions, when
the little village of Peshtigo was de-
stroyed, together with almost every
living thing within radius of miles,
and the stories afterwards told Of the
appalling scenes witnessed, were sufi-
cient to give one the nightmare who
heard them related
The Minnesota calamity is the great
er one, the loss of life being much lar
ger. One can read of ayies stranded, or
armies rended with feeling of compar-
alive complacency; but to read of such
calamIties, when on the briefest warn
ing, men, women and children, all suf-
fer destruction in such a manner as
these Minnesota people have suffered,
is too awful to contemplate.
Idaho people have lesson to learn
from this great calamity. Thousands
of square miles OF area in this state are
covered with forests, more dense than
those destroyed in Minnesota. They
are among the most valuable possessions
of this great state, and will before many
years, support an industry second only
to the great mining and agricultural in
dustries of the State. Among these for
ests, prospectors and hunters are camp
ing everywhere during the summer
months.
Unextinguished or careessly klndied
camp 6res, may create great desiruc-
tion of property. More rigid provisions
should be made for the punishment of
careless or malicious persons, who lay
the country liable to such losses. Eve n

county in the state. fires have been |
started by sheep herders, to burn off
brush and timber to make the ranges
