Gen. Beauregard. in his report made
after the battle, places the Confederate
loss at 1868. From later facts derived
from the regimental, brigade and division
commanders, it has been ascertained to
have been much larger. Gen. Grant plac-
ed the Union loss at 13,O47. which in the
judgment of many is far below the actual
loss.

With mighty shout the line moved
forward with q charge. A sheet Of flame
and mighty uproar burst from the Fed
eral stronghold. The Confederate line
withered, but there was not an instant's
pause. The crest was gained, and Gen.
Johnston had his horse shot in four places.
His clothing was pierced with bullets and
his boot soles cut by mimic balls. The
Federal soldiers kept up continuous fire

A mimic ball from one of these did its

deliberate and emphatic tone, Yes, and l

words.
All next day the roll Of artillery and in
fantry was heard all along the lines, and
every foot of ground was being contested,
az the Confederates were being pressed
back from the battlefield. The losses had
been fearful on both sides. The Con-
federates were driven from every position
until they reached the old Shiloh Church
where the battle had commenced on Sun
day morning. They still held the ridge
which had been charged and recharged
time and time again. Gen. Grant came
up and. seeing the situation. he selected

them in line for the final charge. "Well

HISTORIC TOBACCO SIGN.

In frcnt of a Harlem cigar store, answer

Of his country, and it has q history. This
self-same statue was unveiled in Battery

young metropolis in commemora ton of the
good services George rendered his country
For many years 1t marked the spot where
Washington landed and was looked upon as
the best piece of statuary of the day. In the
early forties an aesthetic city father made
up his mind that the wooden image was not
high art, and induced the board of aldermen
to order its removal 1t was sold at public

Since then Georges image has had pretty
rough time of 1t, changing hands many
times until being secured by its present
owner for a tobacco sign. The statue has
stood both storms and handling remarkably
well. Barring crack in Georges chest,
he's as robust as ever. His continental uni
form looks like the streets of Network be-
fore the advent of the reform admnistra-
ton. Putty, paint and patriotism alone are
needed to make George presentable. As the
last named seems to be a trifle scarce here
the chances are that the statue will continue
to be classed among the disreputable for
some time to come.

MAKING NUMMIES,

The hobby of Birmingham undertaken
has proved that the human body can be pre-
served for an indefinite period without In

senses. He has on exhibition in his estab-
lishment the corpses, rather mummies, Of
Lee Harris and Abe Mitchell (colored), who
were hanged in Birmingham June I for muir
der. The body of Bill Scroggins. white
murderer, who was hanged In this city in
February, 1894, and reduced to the mummy
state by Mr.. Miller, is now one of the curiosi-
ties at the Atlanta exposition, after having
made the circuit of the southern states.
Mr.. Miller bought the bodies a short time
before their execution for a nominal price
and got them to will their corpses to him
Five or ten dollars and a lot of cigars and
eatables during the week before hanging
was the price paid. The treatment by which
they were reduced to the mummy state is
very simple. and can be successfully applied
by any undertaken who understands en-
ballning. An opening is made into one of the
large veins at the neck or on the arm or leg
and a gallon of the embalming fluid in use
by all undertakers is inserted. The fluid
permeates all the veins and arteries and
dries out the body by chemical process
Three gallons, all told, are inserted in this
manner, at intervals during the first three
weeks after death, and the body is then left
in dry place and time does the rest
The bodies of Harris and Mitchell are now
almost dead black. The flesh has dried up
but the skin is impact and preserves the
original contour of their bodies in an elon-
gated state, of course. nevertheless suffi-
GENTLY distinct for Identification by those
who knew them in life. The only perceptible
odor is kind Of bacon smell. This is caused
by the Oil which exudes from the bodies, and
is caught in a pan placed beneath them
the skin leaves the body and the skeleton

From the Chicago Tribune.
The manufacture of silk in the United
States began less than forty years ago at
Paterson, n. j., in small room over q
machine shop. The industry has grown to
immense proportions the factories occupy
ing hundreds of acres. and their annual out
put of finished goods now amounts to $20.-
100000. The raw silk market of the world
amounts to s4O0,O0o0O0 annually, one-quar-
ter of which is imported into this country.
From the small beginning of two decades
ago there are now 400 silk manufacturing
establishments in operation. The 400
factories employed $1,000 people. and the
annual wages paid was s19.OO0.U00. There
were also ffty-two establishments for dye
ing and finishing goods, with a capital stock
of about s2,5O0,0OO. paying $l,25419S In
