An Incident of the Siege of vicks-
burg.
General McClernand, being much an
noyed by the work being done by the bat
terry Of one of the Confederate forts at
Vicksburg Immediately in front of him,
ordered General Smith to have two guns
carried up hill from which they could
comm and the fort and effectually return
the rebel fire. General Smith went to sew
eral OF the batteries, but the officers de-
INJURED, said it would be impossible to ac-
compllsh, and meant certain death for all
who. essayed it. General Smith, not liking
10 give positive order, sent for Captain
White OF the Chicago Mercantile Battery.
'Captain," he said, 'if you can get two
guns up that hill we will have the fort in
half an hour"
Il will try, general" answered White.
he went to his battery, told the men the
work that was before them, and imme-
diately set on foot preparations. All being
Ill readiness, the men started up the hill,
carrying their guns. One of the guns was
struck by shell from the fort battery and
several OF the men were killed. Captain
White and his party with the other gun
reached the crest of the hill in safety,
double-shotted it quickly and the captain
himself directing, it was fired. 1t is said
that the shot entered the mouth of Con-
federate cannon which was just ready to
pe discharged, and exploded it. This
tneory Is due to the widespread destruc-
ton which occurred. Many OF the Con-
federates were blown into the air, the
COTTON baies on top of the fort were set on
nre and the fort rendered complete
wreck.

WORKMEN GET PAID.
Settlement Of Claims Against the San
Francisco and San Mateo Electric
Line.


Several score of workingmen are inyok-
ing blessings upon the State Bureau of
Labor Statisti cs. They have waited long
for their wages earned in the construction
of the San Francisco and San Mateo Elec-
trio Railway Company's tracks. and at
last their lawful claims are to be paid.
The claimants had given their battle
into the hands of Attorney Colin M.
Campbell, now deceased, and matters were
proceeding toward satisfactory adjust
ment when the death of their champion
condemned the waiting workmen to vet
more delay. The winding up of the late
Mr.. Campbelps estate took some time and
in order to expedite a settlement the
claimants appealed to the Labor Bureau.
That body took up the contention in good
earnest. The claims were placed in the
hands of Donald Y. Campbell, who pressed
the assignees of the original company for
a prompt payment of them.
Yesterday Deputy Labor Commissioners
Dam announced that all the claims for
labor performed had been satisfied except
ing relatively small number aggregating
little over $4,000. The necessary funds
are in Mr.. Campbell's hands and viii
without delay be turned over TO those
entitled to them.

debris to flow unim peded into the North

MIGRATE.

o. pity those who cannot see
The beautiful In nature, and all those
Who love not violet or budding rose.
Whose soul Is not attuned to chords
And melodies In natures chorus grand
OF waves that gently ripple DER the sand
The song of birds, the musical
Soft cadence OF the silver drops of rain
Falling so softly on the window-pane;
The moaning wind among the trees,
Whose minor music haurts the singers brain,
And tells OF buried hours In its refrain;
The gold and purple Of the sun
At evening when it sinks behind the sea
In beautiful and tender mystery.
Unheeded is the lily BELLS
Soft loveliness Of peerless white and gold,
With all its cleaning beauties manifold;
A minor chord-a sad refrain
Brings no emotion to an empty heart;
Devoid of soul, they live and act part
o! give to me the Poets soul,
The Artists eye and the Musicians ear,
And then, come life or death, viii not fear.
