New York Soldiers Get Home with Com

NEW YORK, Aug. 3I.-TwO car
loads of sick soldiers of the Ninth
New York Volunteers arrived to-
day from Camp Thomas, Chicka-
manga. The men were convalesceut
from rheumatism, malaria and
typhoid fever, and were in fairly
good condition. Orderly Robert
Stanley, in whose charge the men
were, was especially bitter against
some of the surgeons at Chicka-
manga. He said that they did not
show any respect for the dead. The
Orderly declared that when Private
Charles Nuns died, between Z and s
O'Clock Saturday evening. his body
was not permitted to rest in quiet.
He declared that before 10 p. m the
surgeons were at work cutting up
his body to perform an autopsy.
The Orderly also cited the case of
Private Graham, and declared that
an autopsy was being made on his
body an hour after his demise.

Decomposed Body Of Soldier Found at
Camp Thomas.
Among the many cases of NAL
practice and incompetency brought
to light in the army hospitals, was
that of Private Nunns, at Camp
Thomas, Monday. His dead body
was found in tent, naked and un-
cared for, where it had lain for sew
eral days, it is charged, being in a
state of repulsive and dangerous
decomposition. His body had been
opened and an autopsy performed,
the flap covering the stomach and
bowels having been laid back. The
body was in horrible state and had
lain there naked since Saturday. 1t
was fiy-blown and maggots were
crawling about over the eyes and
ears.
His body was found lying in
tent adjoining a tent where fever
patients were confined. Capt.
O'COnnOr, of the Ninth New York,
who found the body, will report the
matter to the authorities for an in
vestigation.

BIG FIRE IN NASHVILLE.
Over Three Hundred Thousand Dollar
Licked Up BY the Flames.

Over Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
Licked Up BY the Flames.
Nashville was visited by one of
the most destructive CONGREGATIONS
in its history last Monday night.
The magnificent business houses of
Phillips & Buttorff, A. J. Warren,
and Phillips. Stevenson & Co..
situated on North College street,
were totally destroyed, the Ameri-
can National Bank building was
completely Quilted, the Davie Print
ing Company building crushed by
falling walls and burned, while sew
eral o'her buildings were more or
less severely damaged.
The total loss will amount to more
than $325,O00, while the total insur-
ance carried on the stock and prop
erty aggregates $3.50, llIl7.
This portion of the business Sec
ton of Nashville seems to be par
ticularly unfortunate as to fires, as
the fire fiend has visited this locality
several times during the past few
years, and his work has been of a
most destructive character.

MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR.

AS the season advances and nears
its close, the satisfactory assurance
is given that this will be one of the
finest crop years that has ever
blessed the country. The prospect
for the fall corn crop throughout
Tennessee, and especially in Mid
die Tennessee, is exceedingly fine.
and as the same reports come in
from other parts Of the entire
country, the probabilities are that
corn will be very cheap-cheaper
than it has been for years. Through
out the West and even the South,
this crop seems to be more than fair,
so that, in addition to the largest
wheat crop TO the credit of the
country, it looks as il the corn crop
too, will be one of the largest in our
history. In the South, while it is
yet too early to figure on cotton,
conservative estimates place the
crop close to the twelve million bale
mark. This will be nearly a mil
lion bales more than it was last year
an unusually large crop itself. In
plain, round language it looks like
the year 1898 will rank az a great
crop year throughout the United
States.
How much the people of this Sec
ton have to be thankful forl How
greatly have all things combined to
add to their prosperity and happi-
ness! Is there such another land
under the sun, where so much has
been done by nature for her people?
Where God has vouchsafed so MANY
and so varied blessings and estab-
lished them all with smiling pro-
digality and a lavish generosity?
You cannot down this country
you cannot wipe us out" said the
lamented Col. Ridley in an inter-
view in the HERALD after the bank
failures here and when it looked as
II the finances of the country were
wrecked. And his words have prov
en- literally true. To-day, where
once we had three rotten banks, we
have now three as good and solvent
ones as ever prospered. Money is
easier than it has been for ten years.
Crops the most abundant; cattle and
stock of all kinds in fine fix owing to
the July rains; and, for the past two
years alone, it is safe to say that the
wheat crop has brought into this
country more cash money alone
than has ever before come into it
from any one single thing.
But new factor has come into
play in the last few years in the ex-
tensive mining of our phosphate in
terests, which ia playing a most
important part now and is destined
yet to be more important. Among
the marvels of nature stands the
TACT that in so rich country as this,
a princely mineral should have been
placed, not needed by the soil itself,
but here all the same to add its
solid wealth to the basin that gath
ers it from the sunshine and the
shower-the soul of the soil that
rises to greet the soul of the skies.
God has indeed blessed US. To him
let us give thanks in lives that are
worthy and ways that are true, in
examples that shall live, in charac-
ters that shall be gOodly in a goodly
land.

of woodland, stands a picturesque
two-and-a-half-story wooden house
with broad veranda. Here Blind
Tom is at home.
His hands are not at all "piano-

long fingered hands which one so
often sees in great pianists, Toms
