his gaunt cheeks, his beak of nose,
his masterful blue eyes, his thin firm
slit of a mouth which made one feel
that this was wonderful man, man

poor Bart from under them that one by
one the cards came fluttering down
from his nerveless fingers. OF the two

Assistance was then called for and Rose
Grams ordered forward Rousseau's reserves
through the cedars, Maj. Kings Regular
troops being sent to take the place of Neg
ley's fast-recoiling force.
Rousseau's forces were withdrawn from
the cedars and formed in the open space
crossed by the Nashville pike and parallel
with the same Rosseau's Division did not
only check and drive back the exulting
Confederate force, but held the position and
in reality saved the Federal army from that
which may have been a serious defeat.
Consequently, it appears that Comrade
Patton was mistaken in the position that
Rousseau's Division held, and as to the scat
tered command rallying on Sheridan, for
certainly Rousseau's and Sheridan's Divis-
ions were not at any time during the battle
of Stone River in so close proximity.
Where was Sheridan's Division at Perry
vile? We know that Roussean's was in the
midst of the fight and lost heavily, with APP
parently no assistance but Jacksen's and
Terrelfs Brigades. But we do know that

and others; that he could have given the

cerned, many long, hard fought battles that

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
is from 100 to 400 feet deep. A genera
average is perhaps 1000 feet. At many
points the walls are absolutely vertical
and are embellished with gigantic fittings
and pinnacles. Architectural forms Of
great variety are SEEN These combine
with the vivid coloring TO form scene OF
beauty and grandeur. /.
Interspersed among the vertical declivi.
ties are smooth slopes, set at various
angles Many of these can be climbed.
some with much difficulty, others with
moderate exertion. Care must be exer-
cised as regards footing, but for good muscu-
lar exercise and lung development the feat
is worth trying.
To stand in the bottom Of this huge
trench and gaze upward at the Philistinio
walls, touched with beauty by the hands OF
God; to watch the emerald stream rushing
through its narrow prison in foany rapids
and vertical leaps; to see the flashing Of tho
sunlight athwart the walls, are well worth
the effort required to climb them.
There IS no danger in the attempt IL
care is exercised The climb into and out
of this wonderful place where naught Of

furious onslaught upon McCook's extreme

advancing his troops until the line could
overlap Johnson's force beyond the Frank
lin road, and suddenly deploying them from
the woods, McCown had fallen upon John

completely from the field.

damage.
Sheridan's Division met the enemy brayely.
Planting Its three batteries upon q hight IL
poured into its assailsnt's ranks a most de-
structive FIRE, but after three furious charges
the beavily-reinforced divisions of Polk and
Hardee had advanced more impetuously
than before, and gained the ground. The
latter was not, however, given up until, the
ammunition having become exhausted. with
no possibility Of its then being replenished,
and several of his best officers gone, Sheri-
dan had made most audacious bayonet
charge. What remained of his division had
been taken near the Nashville pike.
After thus having thoroughly broken up
the right wing, the Confederatcs directed
their attention toward Gen. Thomas's center,
which had been reformed at right angles to
the original line and which had brayely
