way (our history says) "between this
rad and Shoal Creek he had to cross a
main thoroughfare leading direct to the
rebel camp, not more than three miles
distant: at this road he left the 9th LII. to
guard the place until, with the ID Iowa,
he could complete the reconnaissance
and return.
1--WE had not moved far, however,
before the reports of the 9th ILLS rifles
told us that Harper could not hold bis
post in peace" :,
Horton then ordered Harper to fall
back by the most practicable route across
the creek, leaving him to get out the best
he could after getting the information he
was seeking for. This done, Horton di-
rected his guide to take him to some ford
farther up the creek than the one Har-
per was expected to cross
The guide took us to an old disused
ford, where we succeeded in crossing In
safety.
1.-The knowledge obtained by Horton
of the existence Of this ford subsequently
proved of great Importance to our brl-
gade."
The 10Th of November proved to be
about our last day on Shoal Creek. 1t
proved, also, to be a very lively day for
our whole brigade; for Col. Coon was Or
dered by Gen. Hatch to take his forces
across Shoal Creek and establish camp
on Butler Creek. Here again our his
tory says:
"Col. Coon regarded this as very
dangerous experiment. He nevertheless
promptly obeyed the order, and by 10
O'Clock a m. the brigade, with train and
baggage, had crossed the creek and
moved towards the spot designated as
our camp.
"Col. Coon crossed at Cowpen Ford,
which is below where Butler Creek
empties into Shoal Creek, and within

Gen. Hatch having now towed Hoods
army from the Tennessee River, on the
afternoon of Nov. 30, very generously
turned over the biggest part of said army
to the care Of Gems. Schofeld, Stanley,
and the veteran Fourth Corps; Hatch
to look after the rebel right.
Co. K, I'd Iowa, was placed on picket
in front of Coon's Brigade, and was soon
attacked, falling back, fighting, and we're
then relieved by the 9th III. They were
forced back until protected by the guns
of the brigade, the rebels now making a
charge, which was quickly repulsed, the
9th, 9TH, and 9th I'LL. in turn charging
the foe in our front, and the fight of an
hour was over; not alone in our front,
but all along the line about Franklin.
With five of his Generals killed, two
wounded, and 5000 men killed, wound
ed, and missing, Gen. Hood was now
well content to let us fall back to Nash.

rear against repeated attempts of the
rebel advance to throw them into con-
fusion.
On the Oath of November we moved
to and through Campbellville, Gen.
Forrest making vigorous attempts to cut
us off from the Franklin pike. These at
tempts were defeated by Hatch, who
would fall back rapidly for few miles,
gaining some strong and favorable
locality, then dismount a regiment or
two, sometimes brigade, and then with
remarkable coolness await the attack,
knowing that his boys, tried on many
fields, could and would check them for
time at least with their terrible Spencer
carbihes
.In this way the day passed, the enemy
making a slow but sure advance. At
one time during the day Maj. Moore.
I'd Iowa, with his battalion, got cut off
from the Franklin pike and his horses,
but with good judgment and some fight
ing he succeeded in forming junction
with the First Brigade, who were on
another road few miles to the right OF
us, joining his own brigade later in the
day.
have said nothing about the doings of
the First Brigade while we were at Shoai
Creek. Watching, as we were, many
miles in extent, Hoods front, we were
necessarily some distance apart and |
know but very little of their doings; be-
ing sure, however, that, belonging to
Hatch's Division they performed their
duty as soldiers, and can tell their own
part in this campaign much better than
[ can. With this explanation | will
continue with the doings of our brigade.
Gen. Hatch fell back to Columbia
and crossed over to the north side OF
Duck River on the 25th of November.
We were now within the infantry lines
for the first time for month or more,
and here received a mail, the first since
we left White Station, in September.
Very many of our horses were now
found to be In
BAD CONDITION,
and Hatch was here permitted to take
his division few miles into the country
northeast of Columbia and press horses
from the citizens, and in couple of days
We were again well mounted and ready
for action.
Late Oh the evening of the 2Sth Hatch
moved out on the Slielbyville pike, the
infantry in the meantime having retired
to Franklin, where We again found our
selves in Hoods immediate front Here
we lay in line-ofbattle nearly all night,
falling back to Mount Carmel by morn
ing, the First Brigade in our rear.
Col. Coon now took the rear with our
brigade, falling back toward Franklin
in column of squadrons." BY that
means he was able to throw his whole
brigade into line-of-battle in a very few
moments The rebel cavalry, however,
did not push us hard. They seemed to
have learned by experience that it was
not very pleasant task to charge line
of Spencer carbines in the hands of men
ready and able to use them.

PECULIAR AUSTRALIA ANIMALS.
Differ Greatly From Specimens of
Same Species Found Elsewhere.
81 L,,lis GLohe Ueulncrnt


Australia has been called fossil CONT
nent,'' because ii presents types of life
winch have persisted or become insignifi--
cant elsewhere. Some time about the be
ginning of the tertiary period of geology
a Convulsion Of nature severed the CON
nection which at one time existed between
Australia and Asia, and from that time
the former mas been left to develop herself
on her own lines A belt of deep sea-
known as Wallace line, cuts through the
Malay archipelago, and all the fauna to the
soIth of THIS line, with the exception of
many birds and few recent imDorta tions,
are OF a special and characteristic type,
At the time OF the severance small crea-
lures of the marsupial or kangaroo type
prevailed all over the world. In Au
stralia these have developed slowly and
undisturbed. In the rest of the globe
they were subject To fierce competition,
giving way before the stronger races, till
at length no advanced marsupial is left,
with the exception of the opposum; and III
him the struggle for existence has developed
q cunning unknown to his A australian kins
men. In Australia, however, the mar
supials have had 1t all their own way, and
il is interesting to notice how they have
developed into many various forms to
suit their enyironments-e. e., there are
flying squirrels specifically resembling the
flying squirrels in America, but unlike
them in their underlying structure. The
hairy birds. too, such as the apteryx, be-
long to type extinct elsewhere. And.
finally, much of the vegetation-the gum
trees, the casuerinas, and the wiry under
growth-is a survival from the forgotten
floraS OF past geological ages.

face. her brown hair was parted over a
smooth forehead and pair of wonderfully
expressive and beautiful blue eyes Her
dress was elegant, but modest, and seeing
her in that locality one Instantly Thought OF
sweet charity.
Two raggedlittle newsboys came upto the
corner and gazedat her infrank admiration.
Their look " as returned with one of kind in

each of them. Just then her car came, and
with smile she left the corner.
"Ain't she a beauty" asked one OF the
boys, " while the other sang " clear, pretty
voice, she may flirt With another, but
I'm sure she loves me-"
A middle aged, motherly-looking woman,
who had watched the arrair, asked: DO

could not afford two.

Two wise Geese and the Pigs.

A gentleman living in Eastern Georgia
owned pair Of geese and some half-grown
pigs, both of which rcsorted to small plum
tlnoket on the hillside to pick up the fallen
fruit.
small branch of one of the trees
was broken and bent down to tue ground,
and tue geese had somehow discovered
that by catching the end OF the branch in
their bills and shaking the tree by means
OF II they could bring down the plums
The pigs, seeing what was going on,
Soon found it to their interest to follow
the geese TO the plum thicket.
The geese would shake the tree, aud
the sound of u grateful shower OF fruit
would be heard, and before they could
eat the plums the pigs would have sreedily
gathered up most OF them. Greatly ex-
aspcrated, and with good reason, one Of
the geese would seize a big by the ear,
while the other marched and scolded. In
this way, beating poor. screaming piggy
on the other side of him with their wings
ut every step, they would escort him to
the top of the hill and there let him 60
ThcD they would return and shake the
tree again, with similar result Youths
