sers. Captain Sigsbee, the authorities
contend, should have first-class bat
tleship, and in some quarters there is
regret that the Iowa was not retained
for him instead of assigning "Fighting

ducting a Sunday school recently, was
fired at by one of his pupils with this
question: "Why wuz it, Brudder Bax-

he wus talkin' wild de Lord on Clinch
mountain ?" (Clinch mountain is a
local eminence) Brudder Baxter
scratched his head for reason. "Don'
yo' know dat, Eph ?" the minister
presently asked, in tone of apparent
surprise. "No, 1 don't !" replied Eph.
"Don' de Bibul say it wuz holy gron ?
asked the preacher. "Yeh " assented
Eph. "Well, den, Eph, Mozus TUX OH

fore the order to advance was to be
given, the captain of the hardy war
riors stepped in front of them and said
"We are now about to 60 against
