VISITING WAR SCENES.
"reminiscences of a United States
Signal Corps Man.


Nashville, In 1866, had but a very small
population of citizens Now ii contains
10000. 1t has waterworks and sewerage,
well-paved streets, electric lights and electric
cars, elegant churches and model schools
book stores, and railroads to all points of the
country, splendid hotels and public build
ings a credit to any place. The inhabitants
are wide-awake and intelligent, and over all
hearty hospitality of good-fellowship is
shown to all who come within her gates.
In this we have noted the changes; but
the Tennessee River still flows by. Lookout
Mountain still stands as a grim, warlike
sentinel. Cameron Hill and Missionary
Ridge smile at each other, and are covered
with homes. Orchard Knob has no gleam
ing guns, but contains new, luxurious homes.
Fort Wood is gone, and the size is now a part
of the citys waterworks. The Crutchfield
House is replaced 10y the modern Reed
House. The old military bridge is gone,
yet the foundations of the old piers seen.
new bridge spans the river just above the
old one. The building used by our army
the military prison, on the corner Of Fourth
and Market streets, still stands, and is now
Police Headquarters. The building it seems,
cannot get away from its old associations.
The two houses on Walnut street in which
Gems Brannan, RoseGans, Grant and Thomas
had their Headquarters stand as then, and
are so preserved. Then we reached Lookout
by the wagon-rcad, or footed IL up the point
Now it is reached by a hroad-gage steam

as it seemed-had not sought to break through
that cruel decree, but appeared to be COM
pletely in agreement on the subject.
The reason was that. in his sick dreams,
l poor LOehic had so often Tepeated the name
! of Jeanne, and with such despairing tender
ness in the tones of his voice, that the old
! pilot feared he had discovered that love exist
ed between them.
The young girl listened to the pilots pro-
! jects of happiness without responding. but
with vague smile upon her lips which he
/ might take for contentmcnt.
One day she was kneeling in prayer rs he

| but, before he could reach il, she had snatch
| cd it up and jealously hidden 1t IN her
/ bosom.
"Who gave YOU that fiower?" he asked I'M
easily, without knowing why.
Loehic gave it to me."
And, as look Of anguish passed into the
pilots eyes, she added:
God does not forbid remembrance
Matthias did not insist, but a terrible doubt
had entered his heart. An hour later on
taking his place by the bed of Loehc. now
conyalescent. he said 10 the young Nan

After an interval Of painful silence, and
with a falteriDg voice, the pilot continued:

give me only the worthless brass ring You al
ways weaF-on your finger"
That? Never" he cried, an angry light
flashing from iis eyes.
"lt was Jeanne, then. who gave it to
you?" replied Matthias, his voice choking
with pain.
Why do you ask me, since you know?"
rejoined Loehic, closing his eyes and over

he cried.

Mathurine. For when do you want it,"
Very simply, this time, in the admirable
tone of sacrifice, the pilot answered, looking
at Jeanne:

But the terrible onslaught on our

plan, which / have always thought un-

that Bragg was massing on our right.
had he ordered Thomas, who was in re-

would have resulted differently.
But Rosecrans was an able commander,
and acted in accordance with his best
judgment at the time.
After Willich was exchanged he told
