EDITOR GOLD LEAF.-The COM
munlcation Of mine which YOU did me

terming the killing of Wyatt as the
greatest tragedy that the New World
ever saw. What l wrote was that it
was the first act in the greatest tragedy
(the war for Southern Independence
that the New World would doubtless
ever see
As there had been more than one
version of that interesting incident
asked Mr.. Bradley to Give his recol-
lection of it as l did Capt. Thorpe as

was participant and as the leader
the most prominent. His de>cr ption
OF the exploit shows that there were
tive volunteers instead OF four a given
10y MIR. Bradley. 1t was Just such
discrepancy ID the accounts that | had
seen OF it that led me TO request the
above gentlemen to clear up the mat
ter.
Some time ago Mr.. Bradley had
Wyatt's grave in Richmond appropri-
ateIy marked. As it had been stated
III some Virginia publication that he
belonged to command from that
State. Mr.. Bradley took pains that it
should appear on the stone that Wyatt
was a member Of a North Carolina reg
iment. Wyatt while Nirsiuian was

which were trembling on the brink of
oblivion. have been rescued To live

OF whom must in the course OF nature

A Fine Musical Treat.

one Of the grandest concerts that

was that given Tuesday evening in
Burwell Hall by the Veteran Corps

is composed of musicians of Il high
order, and all who heard them and APP
ireciatc fine COrnct music most heartily
praise the concert. 1t was indeed a
treat that brought forth applause pro
longed and loud.

fifteen pieces furnished the apprccia-

The Humming of Telegraph Wires

Capt O. II. Smith, who is we'll in
formed an great variety Of subjects
beside the best and quickest way to
move a house or mountain Of dirt,
contributes the following which will be
of interest:
No doubt you have often heard the
singing Of the wires over head, without
ever giving it a thought rs to what
they were saying and from whence
came the message. Their tone Is al
ways in the humor of created existence,
the whr Of the world through
space. They take their messages
from the sun, and never sing at
night. They are ever in touch with
the elements, and tell of storms and
temperature when the electricity OF
sunlight plays upon them on one part
of the line and not upon the other, OBJ
structed by cloud and varying tenn
perature.
Go put your ear against the post
when they are singing and hear them
in brisk, sharp, acid, sound tell you
Of the approaching cold wave, that
will make itself tell in the next ten
hours or less. But if they are lisplng
| in soft dulcet tones with a fluffy ca.
dence you may know the warm wave
has the right Of way and will be along
presently. There is a certainty in
! this that lays the weather bureau or
the shelf-you know what is coming fol-
| you hear it. There is no prognostiga'
| ton about it.
The wind has nothing to do will
their singing as many suppose it does
1t is purely the action of contraction
or expansion on one part of the wire:
as told by the other end and a quicl
ear can soon distinguish between then
whether it is hot or cold, as all sounds
| are either sweet or sour.
