WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN OLD BATTLEFIELD.

The softest whisperngs Of the scented
south,
And rust and roses In the cannon's mouth,
And where the thunders Of the fight were
born,
The winds wild tenor In the tinkling corn:
With songs Of larks low-lingering In the
loan,
And blue skies bending over love and
home.
And far away-somewhere, upon the hills.
Or where the wales ring with the whip
poor-wills.
Sad. wistful eyes, and breaking hearts that
beat
For the loved sound Of unreturning feet;
And when the oaks their leafy banners
wave,
Dream of the battle and an unmarked
grave.

William A. Nash, private Of Com
pany l, Fifty-seventh regiment In
diana volunteers, who is now q
resident Of this city, was the hero Of the
hour at the battle of Mission Ridge, in
November, 1868. He tells the following
story and has abundant proof for what
he says;
"Twas Wednesday, November rs,
1863, the day before Thanksgiving,
while the enemy was being sorely
pushed by our boys, that the first mail
for six weeks arrived. Every man in my
company, excepting myself, received
from one to six letters. To say that |
was somewhat piqued over my seeming
non-popularity would be drawing 1t
mildly. l was actually sore with all
mankind, and cared little whether l
lived through the engagement or not
| told my captain that my folks had all
gone back on me, and that was going
into the fight TO win without regard to
what became of me. He cautioned ME
not to act rashly, and not to go further
than did my company. When the charge
was ordered | rushed on and on, and
finally, when the order was given to fall
back, found myself 200 yards in ad-
vance Of my company and on the very
verge Of the cnemy's works. Looking
down into the ditch they had made l
perceived number Of confederates in
it with unloaded guns. Mine was
loaded, and ! ordered several of them,
who were almost under my feet, to drop
their weapons and crawl out of there in
double-quick time.

bled up the bank. marched them back
to my command. where we were re-

TULARE And FRESNO CASES.
Recent Decisions Rendered by the
Supreme Court.
In a Fresno Courthouse Case the Court
Affirms Decision Once Be-
fore Rendered.

The Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision in the case of the Tulare Irriga-
ton District, plaintiff and appellant,
against Kaweaih Canal and Irrigation
Company, defendant and respondent.
Defendant sold to plaintiff it's prop
erty for $15O,O0O, specifying in the deed
that all its personal property except the
office furniture and books was to go
with the other things. Prior to the sale,
defendant purchased thirty-five shares
OF its own stock, which was transferred
Oh the books and not reissued Part of
the stock received from plaintiff was
distributed to defendants stockholders
as dividend, making $500 per share.
Plaintiff brought suit for these thirty
five shares of stock and 5000 dividend
on each share, claiming that they were
personal property and passed under the
sale.
The court below gave judgment for
the defendant, and plaintiff appealed.
The Supreme Court affirms the judg-
ment
A FRESNO CASE.
1t has also decided a Fresno County
case-that of Robert Smilee, appellant,
against Fresno County, respondent
The county contracted with plaintiff s
assignors for the building of the Court
house in fifteen months, which was
done, and the county accepted the work
as completed. Seventy-five per cent of
the price was paid in monthly INSTALL
ments. A balance of Sc, 70S 62 still re-
mains unpaid, and plaintiff sued for it,
the court sustaining demurrer to his
complaint
Plaintiff claimed that the INSTALL
ments falling due in 1892, and all other
obligations of defendant falling due
that year, did not exceed the income of
the year 1892, and that those falling due
in 1893, and all other obligations of de-
fendant that year, did not exceed its
income. The court takes the same view
OF the subject, and says that it's decision
in the case of Mclean VS.. County of
Fresno covers this suit, the decision of
Justice Henshaw declaring that ''at the
time of entering into the contract no
debt or liability is created for the aggre-
gate amount if the installments to be
paid under the contract, but that the
sole debt or liability created is that
which arises from year to year on sepa-
rate amounts as the work is performed.
The Judgment below is therefore re-
versed, and the court below directed to
OVerrule the demurrer"
