 Little did we think years ago when Dr. Holloway, our great southern specialist, located in Birmingham and modestly an nounced through the columns of the Her of diseases that he would ever achieve an international reputation. To our personal knowledge from across the ocean, in far away England, they have learned of his skill and fame and consult him. We be- lieye with the doctor that truth, merit and honor always win. He stands at the head "a pleasant gentleman, an able physician and is recognized as the leading author ity in the treatment of all private diseases. Birmingham may well be proud of him.

Dur ing his long residence in this city he has successfully treated many thousands of pa- tients suffering with private troubles of every conceivable form.

Widow of Six. Soldiers.

There is a woman living in the SIN
namahoning valley, Pennsylvania, who
has been an Orr, and by marriage she
has in turn changed her name to
Barnes, Callahan, Rix, Enos, Robinson,
Elder and now Bailey. Each of her six
dead husbands had been a soldier in
the late war, and she married the first
one in 1863, when she was IL. It Is
hardly fair to say, either. that these
husbands are exactly six, for not one Of
them had all Of himself left when he
succeeded to the title Of husband to
this admirer Of the military. Three Of
the husbands had only one leg apiece;
one had only seven fingers, being be-
sides short a leg; another wooed and
won the widow with one leg and one
arm, and the sixth was minus an eye.
This one died three years ago last May.
Her present husband is not veteran
OF the war. and has all his legs, arms,
fingers and eyes. Mrs. Bailey is not yet
10, and Is the mother of twelve children,
two each by her soldier husbands.

Rich Mountain.

After thorough reconnaissance, Nc
Clellan sent a detachment under Col
onel, now General Rosecrans, to make
a circuit through the woods and attack
the position at Rich Mountain, while he
himself led his main body against Gar
nett's principal camp at Laurel Hill.
After long and rapid march, eight
miles of which were through a dense
mountain forest and in a dark night
with severe storm of rain, Rosecrans
halted his troops next morning in view
Of the enemy's pickets. The Federal
force numbered sixteen hundred men;
that of the secessionists, estimated at
two thousand, was strongly entrenched
on the west side of the mountain, at its
foot. They had felled and rolled
whole trees from the mountain side and
Tapped them together, filing in with
stones and earth from a trench out
SIDE" testifies General Rosecrans
guide, who thus gives an artless and
interesting account of his personal ex-
perience in the battle. The enemy lost
a hundred and fifty killed and about
three hundred WOW and captured.
The Federal loss .eported to have
been but eighte' ed and some thir-
ty-five wounde lhe struggle lasted
only forty minutes, when the enemy
fled precipitately, abandoning every
thing, camp and camp equipage, pro-
visions, artillery and ammunition, to
our victorious troops. In the meantime,
while Rosecrans was routing the en-
envy at Rich Mountain, General Nc
Clellan was advancing toward Beverly.
He arrived at night before the enemy's
fortified position at Laurel Hill, and
waited but for the break of morning to
plant his cannon on commanding posi-
ton and begin his attack. The morning
came, and it was discovered that the en-
envy had fled, abandoning their strong
position, which was occupied by de-
tachment of troops under General Nor
ris, while Mcclellan himself delayed not
a moment in pushing forward to Bever-
ly to prevent their retreat in that direc-
ton. The enemy thus headed off by the
prompt movement Of Mcclellan, were
forced to countermarch and seek anoth-
er outlet of escape. They now fed
down the valley toward St. George.
Mcclellan at once dispatched Captain
Benham, with a detachment from his
own force, to join General Morris and
the troops left in occupation Of the en-
emy's abandoned camp, and followed
the fugitives in rapid pursuit. General
Mcclellan, in his report Of the action
under Rosecrans, gave q characters
tically terse yet comprehensive account
of the victory.

The Old Flannel Quilt.

On the morning of Aug. s, 1862, at
Methodist camp-meeting in Perry coun-
ty, Ohio, there might have been seen
group of several boys, all yet in their
teens, arranging to volunteer that even
ing for war. The excitement being
very high, and recruiting officers having
sprung up all over the land, and all Of
the boys being eager to get their names
down first, quite large number enlist
ed that afternoon, thinking they would
all get in one company or at least one
regiment, the Ninetieth o. V. I. But as
this regiment was nearly completed, 1t
soon had all the men necessary, and the
remaining men were recruited for the
Hundred and Fourteenth, o. v. l.,
which was soon fitted out, and in few
days was sent to a camp at Circleville,
Ohio, to prepare for the front. On leav-
ing home the writer and his boy chum,
Stephen S. Connor agreed to stick to-
gether and share each others fate as
long as there was a chance to do so.
On leaving, Steve's mother insisted on
him taking large old-fashioned fan
mel quilt that weighed somewhere be-
tween ten and twenty pounds, and he
came to me and asked my advice about
taking 1t. He did not want to displease
his mother. 1 said, "Steve, let's take it
and stick to it as long as we can, and
then try and put 1t where 1t will do
some one else good" 1t was agreed
and we hung on to it through all the
various marches and counter-marches,
until we reached Vicksburg, or Sher-
mans attack in the rear Of Vicksburg,
on the 2Sth of November, when we were
compelled to give it up.
1 never will forget the look on Steve's
face when he said to me, "Joe, what
will we do with the quilt?' 1t is too
"let us take and cover it over some Of
those poor fellows who are wounded"
So we went aboard the steamer City Of
Memphis, and on the hurricane deck
we found some of our company wound
ed and shivering in the cold night air,
and we quietly covered it over them,
and I remember hearing one of them
say as we walked away, THANK God,
God bless YOU" Steve choked up and
did not speak for some time after we
went ashore. This was late at night.
It was hard to give up the old quilt
that had been such a comfort to us,
but we had disposed Of it as we had
agreed to on leaving home.
Stephen, big-hearted friend that he
was, answered the last roll cali on the
21st of January, 1894, and his remains
were laid to rest in the old Bethel
graveyard, in Fairfield county, Ohio,
the writer having been separated from
him nearly ever since the war;. @.

Death of LobeDguIa.

A correspondent, writing to a South
African contemporary, supplies what
he states Is the true story of the death
of the great Matabele chief, Lobengula,
1t is a pathetic story. The correspondent
relates: "Lobengula, suffering from
smallpox, worn out by his long fight,
disappointed in his hope of peace, and
altogether broken down by the loss of
his country, his power, and possessions,
came to halt at last among the noun
tains north of the Shangani river. Here
he begged his witch doctor to give him
poison with which to end his life, but
the man refused. The despairing chief
went up hill to the foot of the crag
which tops 1t, and, sitting there, he
gazed for a long time at the sun as it
slowly sank toward the west. Then de-
scending, he again demanded poison of
his doctor and insisted till finally 1t was
given to him. Once more ascending
the slope, he seated himself against the
crag, took the poison, and gazed at
the setting sun, stolidly awaiting the
death which presently put an end to
his sufferings and his blood-stained life.
There is something pathetic and grand
in the picture. 1t is the last scene of
the great epic, the conquest Of Mata-
beleland. His followers found him seat
ed there in death, and, piling stones and
rocks around him, they left him. Wheth-
er he was placed in his royal chair,
hanked by guns and covered over with
his blankets or other possessions as
described in the South African Review,
/ know not. All this may be true and
also that strong palisade of tree
trunks was planted around the spot.
but give the story as I heard 1t, and
believe that. as 1t emanates from Mr..
Dawson, 1t is the correct one." =.

Lincoln and tho German soldiers.


President Lincoln, wrote the late Ben
Perley Poore, spent several afternoons
soon after the battle of Bull Run in
visiting the regiments which were being
reorganiEed in their camp about WASH
ington. He wore a high silk hat, black
clothes and black gloves, and was ac-
companied by Secretary Stewart, who
wore a pepper and salt colored morning
suit, with a broad brimmed felt hat
One Of the regiments which he visited
was composed of Germans, dirty. soiled
and mudstained. When they were
drawn up in line of battle at open
order, Mr.. Lincoln took of his hat and
gloves, put the gloves in the hat, put
the hat on the ground, and started
down the line. giving his right hand to
the men on his left, and his left hand
to the men on his right, and passing
along, shaking hand over hand, each
one heartily and saying: Thank you,
God bless you'll" to each. When he
reached the end of the front rank, he
returned along the rear rank, shaking
hands hand over hand, In the same
way, and devoutly thanking each pri-
vate. The solemnity of his manner and
the sadness of his eyes produced a
marked effect on the honest Teutons,
who evidently felt, each man of them,
that they had received the thanks of
the nation.
