A CalifOrnian's Big Mortgage.

wealthy Californian, f. J. Baldwin
by name, has just given mortgages to
secure debts amounting to S1,670,000
He says the passage of protective tariff
will bring success to all of his enterpris-
es and make it easy for him to pay all he
owes. All of which may be true, but
such tariff as is now proposed would
severely tax every consumer in the coun-
try. And why should the masses be
taxed in order that Baldwin may pay
his debts.

The Missouri River Performs a Wonder.
fuI Feat.

The Missouri river performs some
wonderful feats. 1t is about to trans
fer the great city Of Omaha, Neb. to
Iowa. A dispatch from Omaha says:
'The Missouri river is changing its
channel past Omaha, and IN dong so
threatens to destroy property to the
value of several million dollars. Last
night the river broke through It's banks
about mile above where it left
the old channel twenty years ago, and
is today running two broad streams
across what were yesterday fertile
market gardens.
"The streams run into Florence lake,
relic of former cutoff. From Flor
ence lake the water is pouring into
Cutoff lake, and it now seems only
a question of a few hours until the
city of Omaha is moved into Iowa and
all the property in the line of the flood
is swept away"

as fiSHt wing
was closing in on Hoods left, Steed-
man. with his two brigades, kept Cheat
hams corps busy, thus depriving Hood
of three divisions for the defense of his
left.
The second day of the battle every
thing depended on the capture of Over
ton hill from Hood. 1t could only be
taken after enormous sacrifice Of life,
but Colonel Post of the Fourth corps
offered to make the attempt with his
brigade if well supported. Steedman's s
colored troops were placed in position
to storm the hill ON the flank of Posts
column. POSTS line was quickly re-
pulsed, but the colored men had started
on the run and were too excited to give
up the fight before closing with the
enemy Their brigade leader, Colonel
Thompson, knew that he was expected
to support Post and not make fight
alone; but, seeing that his men were I'M
der headway, he gave the signal TO
charge the intrenchments. In passing
over an open field the ranks were bro
ken by fallen timber and raked merci-
lessly with bullets from the crest The
repulse of Post left the enemy free to
concentrate their fire upon the colored
soldiers. Before they could be with
drawn nearly 500 men were shot down
in the three regiments. The difficult
retreat under fire was made without
panic or confusion. A little later in the
day the same battalion charged with re-
sistless force and swept the field. the
colored troops seizing cannon, prisoners
and other spoils Of war.

STORIES of
NASHVILLE.

STANLEY'S The goth of No
DEFENSE OF THE velnber, 1854, was
the day of all others
FAo0- when, if luck counts
at all in war, the Confederacy had a last
chance. AS result of his usual bold
tactics, Forrest dashed into Spring Hill
Tenn, in the pathway of the army
which was to save Nashville from Hoods
40, 900 invaders. Spring Hill lies on
the Columbia pike, which connects Co
lumbia, on the Duck river, with Nash
Vile. Schofield's army lay at Colum-
bia, holding off Hood ON the south, fac
ing the alternatives of defeat in battle
or retreat in face of the enemy to Nash
vile. About noon of the 29th the adj
vance guard of Schcfield, 1000 strong
and led by General D. M. Stanley,
marched into Spring Hill at double
quick and began to fight with Forrest
for the mastery. Forrest was beaten,
and Stanley held the road open. At that
moment there was nothing to stay the
march Of Hoods 100000 upon Nash
vile, Louisville and the north except
Stanley's array of 1000 at Spring Hill
and mob of unorgapized detachments
at Nashville with Thomas
The hope of the west lay with Scho-
field, and he was virtually cut off at
Columbia, for Hood had fanked that
barrier with his cavalry and Cheatham's
corps of infantry and was marching
boldly toward the pike between Stan
ley's isolated division and Schofeld's
main force at Columbia. Hoods hope
the forlorn hope of the south-lay in
placing a wall Of bayonets across the
pike and shutting Schofeld off from
Nashville 1t was only the turn Of
hand whether Spring Hill should count
for more in history than Gettysburg or
Vicksburg. Calling Generals Cheatham
and Cleburne to his side, Hood directed
their eyes upon the pike, where Scho-
fields wagons under infantry guards
were moving from Columbia back to
Spring Hill. Said he to Cheatham:
General, you see the enemy there, re-
treating rapidly to escape us. Go with
your corps, take possession Of that pike
at or near Spring Hill. Do this at once.
Confident that Schofelds army was
lost, Hood rode away to bring up anoth-
er corps, and returned to the scene at
dusk, only to find that Cheatham had
not put his line across the pike. He
ordered division Of Stewards corps
thrown across, but by that time Stan
ley had given the Confederates sample
of genuine fighting that had stirred up
their caution. He had repulsed every
assault ON Spring Hill. After reconnoi-
tering, Stewart let his men rest along
the pike, but not across it.
All the evening Schofield's men, hur-
rying away from Columbia. marched
along the pike under the eyes Of the
pickets of CheathaIh and Stewart. Hood
called upon Forrest to do the work the
infantry had failed in, but the troopers
would not advance. So from midnight
until daylight of the 50th Schofieid's
men retreated with superior numbers Of
their foes resting idly within earshot of
their march.

If it is possible for the state of Con-
necticut, under the existing condition
of its finances, to make an appropria-
ton FOR q purely sentimental and patri-
otto purpose, we certainly think that
the proposition for a memorial tablet to
the late Cornelius S. Bushnell is one to
be faVorably considered. The town of
Madison has erected memorial build
ing and the proposition is that the state
devote $1,000 to place within the build
Ing memorial tablet, setting forth
the services of Mr.. Bushnell to the
state and country. 1t is needless to re-
capitulate those services here, for ev-
cry boy who knows the history of his
country should know them. They were
rendered at a time when the country
was in sore distress; when her navy
was threatened with destruction and
her seaboard cities with devastation.
The demonstration made to the world
by the pluck and patriotism any mon
ey of c. S. Bushnell, in conjunction
with the genius of Ericsson and the as
sistance of few others, completely
revolutionized the naval architecture
of the world, relegated the wooden
warships to the rear, and introduced
the era of the modern armored vessel.
But the direct benefit conferred upon
the country by that timely and fortu-
nate demonstration is what endears Mr..
BushnelPs name to all patriotic citi-
zens and makes them wish that his
| noble work may be commemorated.-

pounds in weight after suffering from

Diastase, fruit acids, and valuable di-
gestives which digest the food whether
the stomach works or not, gives 1t the
needed rest, and cure is the natural
result.
DR. Jenntson says nine-tenths of dis
ease is caused by Indigestion and Stu

and best cure, because they are not q
