Resisting u Rebel Attack.

After defeating and putting to
flight the enemy who had attacked
our armies and the fort at Allatoona,
the armies of the United States adj
vanced with all possible speed in the
direction of the Allatoona pass with
out delaying for food and only hating
for rest very few moments at any
time. After awhile 1T was found i'm
possible for us to proceed further, for
the enemy was discovered present in
force and placed SO as to prevent any
further advance. This was no envia-
BILE situation for us and we instantly
perceived that no pleasant occupation
was in store for us in the near future,

tracted our attention. They had
taken military possession of the side
of mountain and the uniform they
had donned for the purpose of deceiv-
ing the United States armies was
tailored in such style as to give them

The boys were Confederates, and The
uniform was for the purpose o
putting the Federals off their guard
Just as the trainman had finished

Reclaiming New Jersey Meadow Lands

Upon his return from Holland recently, the
state geologlst of New Jersey presented the
report of his Investigations In that country to
the officials Of the New Jersey State Geolog-
ical Survey. His visit abroad was made solely
for the purpose of determining the possibility
OF retaining much Of the 100000 acres of
New Jersey meadow land This entire area
of land is practically lying idle. The little of
it that is IN use lies in the upper end OF the
state, far from the coast. OF the total acre
age nine-tenths of it lies along the coast of
Delaware Bay, and 100, 900 acres occupies the
territory from Barnegat to Cape May. Efforts
have been made with Indifferent results to
reclaim part of the Hackensack meadows,
but the practical failure Of the result has led
State Geologist Smock to compare the neg
lected meadow lands with the farms he found
in the Netherlands. He Is confident that
| New Jersey may attain much fine farming
| land by adopting the Holland system of EN-
| bankmeuts and dykes The state geologst
| has presented detailed descriptions of the i'm
| portant dykes of the Netherlands and the
| most modern means employed for the drain
| age of the lands enclosed by them.

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-

an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam,
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

Perhaps no local disease has puzzled and
baiiled the medical profession more than
nasal catarrh. While not Immediately fatal,
it is among the most nauseous and disgusting
Ills the flesh is heir to, and the records show
very few or no cases OF radical cure OF
chronic catarrh by any of tho many modes
OF treatment until the introduction Of Ely's
Cream Balm a few years ago. The success OF
this preparation has been most gratifying and
surprising.

Surely If there are unhappy sufferers on earth
upon whom the angels look down in pity It is peo-
pie agonized with rheumatism. They are in tor
ment the year round with little or no respite.
Now, there is no evidence to which publicity has
been given in behalf Of lIostetter's Stomach Bit
ters more concurrent and convincing than that in
behalf Of its efficacy in incpicnt rheumatism.
And since rheumatism and rheumatic and simple
govt are among the most obstinate complaints to
which this admirable remedy is adapted, and
since they all have fatal tendency TO attack the
vital organs the sdysability of early of the
Btters, when they manifest themselves, must be
apparent. Eilicacious and most signally So are

MUMMIEs OF SAN JUAN.
They were Found, with Many Inssrestin,
Relics. In Mountain Caxes

They were Found, with Many Interesting
Relics, in Mountain Caves.
An exhibit of mummies, alleged to have
been recently found in caves between the
Elk and the Bule Mountains, at the head
of the Comb Wash. which empties into the
San Juan River, 10 miles below Bluff City,
Utah, was opened in a room in the Walker
House. There are six, all very well pre-
served, one of giant, one of chief, two of
women, and two of boys.
At first it was thought that they were the
bodies of cliffdweIlers, but as they were
found under the ruins of the eliffdwellers'
habitati0ns, it is believed that they belonged
to some race that antedated the eliffd1ellers.
Another point of difference is in the features
OF these mummified specimens. They have
reddish hair instead of black, and have not
the flatness of the head noted in the genuine
cliffdweller. The skull looks much like
that of a Caucasian.
The bodies. so it is stated by Charles d.
Lang, who came out with the Hyde exploT-
ing party, were cramped into constrained
position, covered with very curious mat
ting or blanket of wool and feathers, then
enwrapped with cedar bark. The bodies
were found in various positions. With them
were the remains of hundreds of wild tur-
keys, while by the side of one was found
well-preserved specimen of mouse.
Many curious relics were also found with
these bodies. There were some black ashes
n wooden receptacle, some red corn in an
earthen vessel, rude buekskin pouches, the
tanning of which was different from that Of
the present day; particularly fine carved
onyx pipe, flint arrow heads deity shaped,
broken pottery, and many other interesting
articles the use for which is not known.
So well preserved are the specimens o.
some extinct race that it can easily be told
that one of the boys met with a violent
death; the mustache is still plainly seen
upon the face Of the chief, and the course of
vein can be traced in the arm of one Of
the women.

ARMY AND NAVY,

The official report Of the inspection at sea of
the cruiser Columbia shows that she is incom-
parably the most economical naval vessel in the
world -Four trials of six hours each were con-
Quoted. In the first, with three engines, she
ran at the rate of 1914 knots, with coal con-
sumption of 1855 tons per day. There followed
a six hours run, using only the single central
screw, developing a speed of 1905 knots and
consuming coal at the rate of 1873 per day Tho
third trial was with all three engines. during
which the remarkable speed of 1874 knots was
maintained for six hours.
The Navy Department fully appreciates the
value of well-organiZed naval militia, and is
doing all it can under the law to encourage the
extension and Improvement of that auxiliary
branch of the Navy in the various seaboard
States. Arrangements are being made, under
the direction of Assistant Secretary McAdoo,
for the use of naval vessels by the naval reserve
for practical instruction during the Summer.
Although not entirely settled. it is believed
that the New York. Miantonomoh, Marblehead,
Atlanta. and possibly other vessels will be util-
ICED for this service. The States principally
Rhode Island. New York. New Jersey, Penn
sylvanis and North Carolina.
The War Department has received from the
Pneumatic Dynamite Gun Company the first
battery of dynamite guns for its system of
coast defense. The battery is composed of two
IS inch guns and one eight-inch gun, and is in
place at Sandy Hook, N. Y. The plant must be
thoroughly tested before it is accepted by the
Government. and it is expected that the tests
will be very interesting. The company asserts
that it has overcome the serious objections that
were made to the guns and projecties hereto
fore constructed.
