A Safe Commander,

Colonel Blowblow belonged to that
class of soldiers of which g few die and
none resign" In winter quarters and
in camp he was conspicuous and active;
when the fighting began he always
managed to have his field officers in
front. One day, in the absence of the
general, he took command of the bril-
gade, by virtue of seniority. 1t is quite
possible that, in point of seniority, he
was the ranking colonel of the Con-
federacy. AS commander of the bri-
gade he approached the enemy as if the
fate of the day depended upon his life,
selecting commanding points whence
he could contemplate them through his
field glass. Snyder, one of the head
quarter couriers who accompanied him,
was asked how he liked the new gen.
eral. Wouldn't want softer thing
than couriering for him." he said, with
the smile of man who looked forward
to long life. "Why, sir, feel just
as safe with him as if | was a-sittin' at
home in my fathers parlor." D Troy
Times.

A Suction Sand Dredge.

A notable work in its line is de-
scribed in The Engineering News
namely, suction sand dredge with
a capacity of 1000 tons per hour,
built by the Naval Construction and
Armament company of Barrow-in-
Furness, England, for operations on
the Mersey bar. The sand pumping
machinery consists of two centrifu-
gal pumps with SO inch suction and
delivery pipes These pumps are on
each side of well and draw from a
I head at the top of the suction pipe,
and around this head as trunnion
the tube can be raised or lowered to
suit the depth of the water, and a
ball and socket joint gives certain
amount of lateral motion. The sue
ton nozzle is turned over at the bot
tom, with its aperture almost at right
angles to the axis of the tube.
The hull of the dredge is 1876 feet
long by about 90 feet 6 inches deep
and AS feet 10 inches wide, the load
ed draft being 16 feet and A inches.
She has twin screw engines and a
speed of 10 knots loaded. The sand
is pumped into hoppers, and opera
tons show that the latter may be
filled at the rate of 100 tons per min
ute.

ton assigned the battery. Notwith-
standing the company faced three fed
eral batteries of six guns each, which
had an enfilade fire on us for probably
four hundred yards, for some unac-
countable reason we escaped injury un-
til we had got within six hundred yards
OF the enemy's batteries, when their
shells were skimming 80 close to the
mounted cannoneers and the horses
heads that, as il by intuition, the men
on the caisson in front of me dis
mounted, without orders to do so, while
the remainder of the company kept
their seats on the timber chests. Scarcely
bali minute had elapsed after the men
who had dismounted touched the
ground when shell from one of the
enemy's guns came plunging through
the particular caisson that nobody was
on. When it struck it exploded one
chest of the caisson and the heat set
fire to the next one, but it did not ex-
plode Immediately. The driver of the
lead team ia his fright tumbled from
his horse, aud the team made straight
for the enemy's lines. The wheel
driver, however (Chew Coleman, of
Spottyslvania by name), kept his seat,
hllhOuSh hOhb w ILO CAplOuCu CltSJ,
and the heat set fire to his jacket, which
burned through to the skin, and, not
withstanding the flesh was crisping up,
and he was suffering the most excruci-
ating pain, he dl not let go the reins,
but stopped the horses, thereby pre-
venting them from taking the team
into the enemy's lines.
He then fell or jumped from his
horse nearly exhausted. While this
was going on two or three of the can
noneers jumped in between the ex-
ploded ammunition chest (Which was
now harmless) and the one on fire
and numbered it and got out of the
way before the fire Communicated
with the powder, which occurred two
or three seconds later, when up went
the other two chests with a terrific
noise.
These l regard as the bravest ex-
ploits that came under my observation
in the four years of the war, from
Bethel to Appomattox.-Chicago Inter-
Ocean.

StOnewall JacksOn's Bible.

Clay Whitley of Indianapolis was
corporal of the squad detailed to burn
General Stonewal Jackson's residence
at Lexington, Va, in June, 1864.
While the Jackson house was burning,
Corporal Whiteley bethought himself
to save some relic, and he ran into the
library, which was even then in flames,
and took out family Bible which had
been presented to Jackson by a sister.
This relic he preserved until recently,
when he wrote to the editor of The
Southern Planter, Richmond, request
ing Mrs. Jackson's address and express
ing wish to return the relic to her
keeping. He has just received very
kind note from the widow of the ex-
confederate general expressing a most
earnest solicitude for return of the
souvenir, and the book was forwarde
to her by express. General Hunter
was in command at the time the order
was executed, having relieved General
Franz Sigel on the day of the occupancy
of Lexington Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Silent Majority.

The great actors in the war of the re.
bellion are rapidly concentrating on the
other side. All the great commanders
on both sides are already there. Lee.
Jackson, Johnston, Beauregard and
Stuart, on the confederate side, and
Mcclellan, Hooker, Meade, Grant,
Sheridan, Sherman and Warren, on the
Union side, only live in history, and
the lesser lights of both armies are
rapidly following their leaders. Thus
far this year two prominent confeder-
ates and one leading Union general
have answered the final call. Old Jubal
Early was followed by General Ker.
shaw, one of the most stubborn fighters
on the southern side, and they were in
turn followed by General II w. Slo-
cum, who brilliantly fought at Gettys-
burg and upon many other bloody
fields. 1t is almost coincidence that
General Slocum died on nearly the an
niversary of the surrender by General
Johnston at New Durham, n. g., of
his entire army of about 10000, and
which virtually ended the long strug-
gle, and in which General Slocum bore
very conspicuous part. With the
surrender of Kirby Smith, further
south, this was the closing of the con-
test, and there was no armed opposi-
ton TO the government. All the actors
in this great event are now gone, with
the exception of General O. o. Howard,
who commanded the right wing of
Sherman's army, while Slocum COM
manded the left. It's remarkable that
nearly all these prominent leaders have
died within two or three years-Johns.
ton, Sherman, Beauregard, Early, Ker-
shaw and Slocum. 1t is only ques-
ton of very few years before the last
of these heroes are mustered out on
this side o. Jordan, and will form an
unbroken phalanx upon the other side.
There may be some ungenerous enough
to believe that great burning lake di-
vides them, but old troopers have no
fears OF this nature, and il is almost
safe to conclude that the old fighters,
having pooled their issues" here,
that all are united and happy on the
other side.-Ne,C York Press.

A Warm Place.

In the desperate battle of Spottsylva-
mia Court House in May, 1864, when
Grant and Lee were approaching Rich
mond on parallel lines, the Crenshaw
battery of Pegram's battalion, Army of
Northern Virginia, was ordered by
General Harry Heth to change its posi-
ton to another part of the field.
While the guns were being limbered
up, General Jubal Early rode up and
asked the captain of the company
where he was going. The captain
pointed to the position assigned him,
when General Early asked him who
had ordered him to go there. The
captain replied: General Heth."
WE'LL" says General Early, "if he
has ordered you there, you would bet
ter go, but | don't see how you will
ever get there" Twas pretty warm
place to have called forth such a re-
mark from General Early.
The guns were pulled out, the can
noneers mounted, and the horses went
galloping down lane formed by a row
of cedars ON each side to the new posi-
