There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together and until the last few years
was supposed to BIZ incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh TO
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. ].
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
TO a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the system.

/ could scarcely believe them to be rebs,
running so willingly toward our post, but,
deemng that possibly they were rebs, we
drew our revolvers and dashed after them.
About half mile above our post an old
track-onCe the road-branched off on the
north. These tracks came near together at
the post, and both were barrcaded and
guarded. When these troopers reached
this point they dashed into the woods on
the right.
This movement convinced us that they
were rebs and that there was band of them
in there Knowing that our post, as well as
ouselves. was endangered, We now put our
horses to the charge. We had scarcely
passed the point named when commenced a
constant stream of fire which lasted until
near the outpost sentry. Perhaps the shots
were not as numerous as imagination pic
tured them, but it seemed that a rebel was
posted on every rod of the road and that
each one tried his Workmanship upon us;
but we were swiftly moving targets that SO
much confused their aim that ourselves and
horses were untouched, but not entirely I'M
alarmed, as the boys at the post declared
when we got in that we were both as white
as hleached muslin.
OF course you know, that could not have
been exactly true of two Lieutenants,
though it is true that we had visions Of
Andersonville and momentariy expected to
be cut off by parties throwing themselves
into our front But they seemed to rely
upon the effectiveness of their gauntlet-line.
simultaneously with our reaching the post
party of them dashed down the old track
described and received well-directed volley
from the boys posted there which killed
their leader and wounded we could not tell
how many, as they quickly fell back.
Their leader was brought in, yet breath
ing mechanically, shot through the breast.
A courier was dispatched to Headquarters
for the Surgeon, who also bore report of
the attack. This man was past all help,
and proved to be Capt. Wharton, Of the Texas
Rangers in command of battalion.

Lively Times with the Johnnies at Duck
River.


River.
EDrToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of July % is an article from the pen
Of Mai. II. c. Connolly, 14th Ill. Cav, in
which he gives an account of the operations
OF the brigade to which his regiment be-
longed on the 29th of November, 1864, on
Duck River, Middle Tennessee.
Having gathered material for a history OF
the 14h III. Cav, TO which also belonged,
give from nay records kept at that time
confirmation OF the correctness OF Connolly s
account.
Gen. Stanley's report that Capron's Bri-
Cade was driven by Forests cavalry to the
north bank of Duck River is not correct, as
we had crossed to the north bank at Column
bia several days previous, and on this day
marched up on the north side and took posi-
ton near the Lewisburg pike, as the Major
saws. Gen. Stanley is in error, and SO is the
daily journal of the Fourth Corps.
Ii Col. Capron made the report alluded to,
he must have been dreaming; but / must
believe that somebody erred grievously
when that record was made. i positively
know that every survivor of the brigade
then present will say that our brigade was
engaged all the day until dark in prevent
ing the enemy from crossing Duck River
near the Lewisburg pike.
Capt. Rankin, eth Ohio Cav, once pub
lished in your paper an account of his res
cung Capron's Brigade from imminent peril
on this day at the Lewisburg pike on Duck
River. The mistake of Capt. Rankin was in
his mistaking Col. Capron's Headquarters
guard consisting Of several companles) for
his brigade.
The following account OF the operations Of
the picket will, in addition to this account,
explain the situation in harmony with the
Majors account In the morning our bri-
eade, composed as the Major says, was post
ed on the river near the Lewisburg pike.
Col. Capron established his Headquarters on
the pike about hall mile (north) from the
river Col. Capron ordered the writer, in
command of Co. ], 14th Ill Cav, 10 take the
available men of his company, together with
a small detail from Co. c, in ali about %
men, and relieve Co. c. 9th Iowa, on picket
duty half mile above the brigade and the
same distance from Headquarters.
We were instructed to be very vlgilant
and patrol the road above Us regularly, as
this post was the extreme left Of the brigade,
which was the left of the whole army, and
4 was anticipated that the enemy would
ross the river above us.

Two TROOPERS RODE TO OUR Posi-.
Between the post and the brigade and
Headquarters was open ground. The post
was In the edge of woods which extended
on Up the river. IL was on a dim road lead
ing up and parallel to and about quarter of
mile distant from the river 1t was gen.
orally anticipated that Columbia must soon
be evacuated, and the cessation Of the can
nonading there gave us warning that il was
now being evacuated, in which case, in the
falling back of the who'e line, there was
much danger of breaks in the line and OF
the extremes being cut of.
Thee conside ations, together with the
danger of attack from above, caused us TO
look carefully at our surroundings. On our
right the river was concealed from view by
timber and brush which extended about
mile above, where were Two small farms,
with their dwellings, situated between the
river and the road, with narrow lanes lead
ing into the road.
On the left (Borth) of our post was also
timber and rocks, and adjoining the post on
the north mass of large rocks, covering
several acres We found that crooked
cOw-path wound through this mass of rocks,
sflording the only passage across the rocks
and cedar tbicket We took the position
about a. m, and strictly followed orders,
patroliDg the road regularly. Several scout
ing parties were also sent up from Head
quarters.
About noon party Of 10 men came dash
ing through our post, reporting that they
had been pursued by 40 rebels This indi-
Gated that some of Forests cavalry had
effected a crossing above. About 2 p. m. a
scout of SO men was sent up this road by
Col. Capron. The probability that the in
fantry line below had fallen back, endanger-
ing the position of our brigade below, and
the danger of attack from above, warned
us TO carefully study the situation.

Al PARTY CAME DAsHTNa THRorGn.


In company with J. cut VIM. H. Pickett,
of my company, we proceeded to personally
inspect the situation above us. Following
IN the wake. though some time after, of the
scouting party, We proceeded about two
miles above.
Discerning no indications of the enemy,
we started TO return TO the post, when,
on nearing one of the lanes above de-
scribed, two troopers dressed in Union uni
form rode out OF the lane and proceeded to-
wards our post. Lieut.. Packet at once de-
cided that they were rebels. ! thought not,
because of their uniform and because they
proceeded leisurely towards our post. keep
ing less than hundred yards in advance
supposed them 10 be foragers from our bril-
gade. Shortly one of them wheeled to fire
on as. Surprising that they mistook us for
rebels, called 10 them not TO fire, that we
were friends. They continued at about the
same distance, when they wheeled and fired,
and then started full speed towards our

Giving Arabs an Electric ShOch

hardly p~e,ceptible prickling obServ.l-
bile on the skin Of the finger which was
opposed to the wind. | could only O.
plain this fact, observed by all of us.
rs an electrical phenomenon. and sucn
ii proved to be. When | held up a full
bottle of wine. the top of which was
covered with tinfoil, | heard the same
singing sound as when the finger wa
held up. At the same time little sparks
sprang continually from the label t
my hand. and when | touched the head
Of the bottle with my other hand | re-
ceived Il strong electric shock. 1t is
clear that the liquid inside the bottle.
brought into metallic connection with
the metallic covering Of the head Of the
bottle through the damp cork, formed
the inner coating of a IRyden jar.
while the label and hand formed the
outer coating. When | had completed
the outer coating of my bottle by wrap
ping it in damp paper, the change WAS
so strong that l could make use Of it as
n very powerful weapon of defense.
After the Arabs had watched our
proceedings for Il time with wonder.
they came to the conclusion that wy
were engaged In sorcery, and requested
us TO leave the pyramid. AS their re-
marks, when interpreted to US, We're
without effect, they wanted to use the
power Of the strongest to remove us
from the top by violence. ! withdrew
10 the highest point, and fully charged
my strengthened flask, when the Arab
leader caught hold of my hand and
tried to drag me away from the posi-
ton | had attained. At this critical mo-
mentI approached the top Of my flask
to within striking distance to the tip
Of his nose, which might be about ten
m1llimeters. The action Of the dis
charge exceeded my utmost eXpecta-
ton. The son Of the desert, whose
nerves had never before received such

struck by lightning. rushed away with
Il loud howl, and vanished with u great
spring from II vicinity, followed by

Crocodile left Newcastle June %. In
145 degrees west longitude and 10 de-
Grees north latitude the strange ap-
pearance Of the clouds was first noted.
They were crossing and recrossiny
each other with great rapidity. The
barometer fell from 1905 at noon to
20.S7 Mt I p. m. The wind increased
to a gale in the evening, and at mid
night the sky was lighted by vivid
electric flashes. The sea reached a ter
rifle height, and a great twisting,
writing column came into view, APP
paently bearing down on the ship.
Lightning flashed from this pillar and
spllntered into sparks on the sea. 1t
looked as II the Crocodile was certain
to go to the bottom, but the cyclone
passed astcrn. Instantly. as it passed.
every sail on IN" ship was ripped away
from Its ~fastcnings. The Crocodile
keeled over until the water was almost
even with her matches. She righted.

that her cargo had shifted. 1t took
several days to right the cargo before

after the accident In great agony. An
examination Of her head was made
from the nose, and q large green goose
