SuppIyipg Paris with Fuel,

Whenever possible the Seine is utilized
for the transportation OF fuel to Paris, writes
Maria Parl0a in an article on Heat and
Light in France " in the Ladies Home Jour
nal Nearly all the great wholesale firms
have their yards in the neighborhood of the
river. The railroads, also bring a great
deal of wood and coal to the city. As the
trains move slowly through the yards of
some of the lines of railroad the passengers
can see Enclosures filled with cord wood,
storehouses of sacks of fuel, also cars loaded
with these sacks. which all seem to be of
secured by lacings of cord, and the cords
fastened by leads. Here, also, may be seen,
stored and on cars, large, unperiorated bri-
qaettes for use IN engines and manufactures.
Along the embankment of the Seine may
be seen hundreds of cords of wood piled ii
such regular order that one could well be-
lieve that the spacings were measured off
with rule.
The coal is from English, French, and
Belgian mines Sometimes the three kinds
are mixed for use in the kitchen ranges.
The shops for the sale OF fuel by retail are
almost as numerous as the bakeries. They
are always neat, and the wood, coal, and
kindlings are arranged in most artistic
manner. The wood is piled so to show
the evenly sawed ends; the samples of coal
are arranged in glass dishes, and in some of
the shops, where orders are taken for the
wholesale places, wood is arranged In the
windows and decorated with growing moss
and ferns. Indeed, the chief aim OF the
French shopkeeper is to make his shop at
tractive.

1. In his Regimental Losses" Col. Fox
gives the histories of 800 regiments. In re-
gard to these regiments he says: 1t is not
claimed that they are the 800 fighting regi-
ments of the army, but that they are 300
regiments which did considerable fighting.
There are, undoubtedly, others which did
equally good, or, perhaps better fighting,
and their gallant services will be recognized
by writers fully conversant with their his
tories. These 300 regiments are those
which sustained the heaviest losses in bat
tie. They include every regiment in the
Union army which lost over 130 men in
killed and died of wounds during the war;
together with few whose losses were some
what smaller but whose percentage in
killed entities them to place in the list.
2. The Surgeon-G General is appointed by

Alcohol and Happiness.
Popular Science Monthly.l

The body uses its powers in resisting the
outside forces which act upon IT, Normally
there is balance between body and envi-
ronment. If environment prevails We are
discouraged if we are able to prevail, our
spirits rise and our happiness grows. And
il is not for the moment only, but We COM
pare the accumulated impressions of the
powers outside of us with the powers which
our brains develop, and are happy or un-
happy according as we feel our superiority
or otherwise. Just how much does alcohol
interfere in this balance of powers? 1t
clearly cannot lessen the power of outside
influences which harm us; it can as clearly
not increase our own powers in so far as
they enter into this conflict with the out
side world-it rather makes US less skillful
and able. What can it do then? 1t can
deceive u.s. 1t dulls our appreciation of
powers outside of US until they seem so
much smaller that we are sure we can con-
quer them, and so we gain feeling OF sat-
isfactioD. Nine-teDths of those who take
strong drink seek this feeling in alcohol.
This is their refreshing at eventide, their
"rest from the days cares" their fOrgetful-
ness of sorrows; but it rests upon deceit,
and at the least trial falls into ruin. He
who to-day forgets is not any stronger to-
morrow, and so is constantly tempted to
new appeal to his false friend until his
senses are SO dulled that every duty is for
gotten. His holiest interests are but shad
ows and mist before his eyes, and he knows
nothing more but thirst for the deceitful
drink. Even the defenders of alcohol at
last call a malt; but they have forgotten
that the first steps are much more easily
undone than the later ones when the brain
has in a measure lost its power to control.
They do not forget through malice, but be-
cause they have not rightly understood the
physiological effect of alcohol.-Dr. JUsTUs
GAULE.

Dissertation at Gettysburg.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is high
time ahat something positive and emphatic
should be done 10 put a stop to the out
rageOus work of mutilatiOn and vandalism
that has been going on for some time on the
Gettysburg battlefield, and we call upon
you to lend the influence of your powerful
journal to that end.
A year or more ago some sconndrel broke
off and stole the snap-buckle of the body
belt on the statue Of Gen. Warren, which
was erected by our association on Little
Round Top, and recently the spurs and the
ends of the straps to the sword-belt have
been broken off and stolen.
What manner Of crawling thing can it be
that will sheak up to these sacred memorials
and deface them in this manner? Words
cannot be properly framed to describe our
hatred and disgust for these brainless,
idiotic, unpatriotic whelps, who take adj
vantage of the night or the upguarded wide
area of the battlefield by day to syly, fiend-
ishly despoil deiace, and mutilate the sacred
memorials Of this or any other battlefield.
1t is said that efforts are being made to
have the United States Government take
charge Of this great field and guard it from
depreciation. If this is true, and we hope
it is, we hope THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
will use its best efforts TO bring about this
much-desired result, and we hope that all
who are interested i'm the management of
the Gettysburg battlefield will take this
matter up and agitate it until some SUBJ
stantial plan is adopted whereby this van
dalism may be stopped.
If this is not done there will not be a
monument on the field that will escape
Disagreement in some way.-JAMEs Il.

"We dismounted in the same order,
and commenced skirmishing. The
rebels were in numbers at least four to
one, we having not more than 800 men.
Their line extended clear beyond our
fanks. We sent word to that effect
back to Gen. Garrard, and he said
he would send forward some men who
would fight.
This our men heard of, and they
started forward and drove out of the
works two rebel brigades-Harrison's
and Armistead's.
"On we went over the hill. The field
before us was filled with dismounted
cavalry and horses in confusion. We
had sent them flying. Had we been
mounted then and charged we could
have captured many horses and
prisoners.
"Shortly after, Longs Brigade,
mounted, and Wilder's, dismounted,
CAME Up AND CHARGED.
In a moment the rebels opened with
artillery. We expected to see the Sec
ond (Long's) Brigade bring it back
with them, but they came back without
it.
"The command was then formed in
the breastworks (having been recalled)
and the 9TH Pa and 4th Mich. were
sent out to see where the rebels had gone.
We pushed out about two and half
miles, where we found them strongly

rebels fred a halEdozen shells at us

dition of affairs. 1t then being so late,
he concluded to do nothing more that
night. We returned and went into

our pickets.
"At $50 a. M, Thursday, Oct 13,
we went out again, leaving all wagons
and pack mules behind, the Second
Brigade in advance, Wilder's next and
ours last. The enemy were found
where we left them last night. Longs
and Wilder's men were dismounted and

sent for US to come and prepare for
charge. We trotted out, and arriving
there found Wildar's men in line on the
right, with regiment Of them on the

left of Wilder's; about 20 mounted men
were on the rear flank.

arrived on the top of the hill, in sight
the rebels, they opened on US with their
artillery. Their fire was directed at the
line on the right of the road. We moved
at a walk about one-third of a mile,
when we were ordered to charge.
"Away we went, with the most infer
nal yelling and cheering, the 7th Pa. in
advance, Lieut.. Fisk commanding the
