for interesting literature is cert

In the spring of 1868. General
Grant was maneuvering about
vicksburg in an effort TO get
near enough to the fortified city
to strike an effective blow. Troops
below vicksburg crossed to the
east bank of the Mississippi at
Bruinsburg. Port Gibson is 10
or 10 miles east Of Bruinsburg,
and at that point the Confederates
were in force. A: dawn on May
j, 1868. the two armies were face
to face.

son, says a writer in the Mil
waukee Sentinel. "both armies
halted to take breath. Way off
toward the Confederate line was
a solitary house, aud near this
was the rebel artillery. While
we stood there battery of Con.
federate artillery left the line,
trotted out as if on parade, swung
around into line ard numbered.
It was all done with the precision
and nicely of a parade at West
Point. Every man was inEnis
place, we could see, although the
distance was three quarters OF a
mile. There the men stood, like
SO many statues in gray. Every
body asked what it meant, but
no one could say.
by Jove, it's a challenge !"
some one finally CALCULATED. And
sure enough it was.
There was no move in our
line for a minute or two then
the bugle of the First Wisconsin
sounded, and out went the six
guns, swung into line. and I'M
limbered. In 80 seconds the
Johnny rebs saw that the chal-
lenge was accepted. and both
batteries opened fire.
while the singular duel was
in progress from IL to 90 shots
were fired from each gun. The
First Wisconsin was commanded
by Capt. Jake Foster, az old
Ozaukee county boy who went
out to Minnesota and enlisted at
La Crosse. He was good sol.
der himself, aud his gunners
were crack-a jacks, and those
percussion shells made the John.
MES jump. 1t wasn't five minu-
tes before the Confederates had
enough and started to withdraw
the battery.
Our boys disabled three guns,
blew up a caisson or two, if Ire
member right, killed a rebel
captain, and wounded three or
four gunners. Every shot that
told was greeted by loud cheer
from our boys"

The success Of Paul Laur ce
Dunbar's poems is not to be
gainsaid. Although the book
has been published but a short
while, Dodd, Mead & Co., the
publishers, announce that the
fourth thousand is nearly e1-

young negro poet, has probably
attained a wider circulation than
falls to the lot of most of the
better known poets of the day.

IMPORTANCE OF SALADS.
They Should Be Eaten Every Day for
Health Reasons.

The beauty and wholesomeness Of
the salad should recommend it to
every American housekeeper. l do not
refer to those highly seasoned combina-
tons Of hard-boiled eggs and mustard,
but to dainty dinner or luncheon sal
ads, made with a dressing of olive oil,
a few drops Of lemonjuice, and a light
seasoning Of salt, garlic and pepper.
The salts necessary for the well being
of our blood are bountifully given in
these green vegetables; then, too, it is
a pleasant way of taking fatty food
All machinery must be we'll oiled to
prevent friction, and the wonderful
human engine is not an exception to
the rule. Look carefully to it that you
take sufficient fatty food The Amer
leans do not use enough oil to keep
them in perfect health. While butter
is served in some families three times a
day. and is better than no fat, its COM
POSITIONS rather against it as compared
to sweet vegetable oil. Fats we'll di-
gested are the salvation of consump-
tives or those suffering from any form
Of tuberculosis. For these reasons a
simple salad composed of any green
vegetable and French dressing, should
be seen on every well-regulated table
three hundred and sixty-five times a
year. Those who live out of town can
obtain from the fields sorrel, long
docks, dandelions, and lambs quarters,
for the cost of picking. Where des-
serts are not used, and I wish, for
health's sake, they might be abolished
a salad with a bit of cheese and bread,
or wafer, or cracker, with small cup
of coffee, may close the meal. Where
a dessert is used the salad, cheese and
wafer are served just before it, to prick
up the appetite that it may enjoy more
fully the sweet. At a large dinner
the salad is usually served with the
game course.-Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in La
