NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
Ia talk WITH mRs. rlrrnAn1


A woman with the blues is a very IN
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is q source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs Pinkham for her
advice, Her advice is thorough com
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. f. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
6 DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling.
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, 1 wrote to YOU
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
II am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"

from the text, We'll Done" part
of the 23rd verse of the 25th chapter
Of Matthew In this practical ser
mon the pastor noted ia part that
the words OF the text, "Well Done"
suggested a worthy achievement, and
that in face of opposition one has
done we'll. 1t is Indeed a satisfaction
to meet with triumph in a worthy
cause, rejoicing in the assurance that
we have become victorious. The text
indicates a lifetime triumph.
Man is in this life simply steward.
There are things entrusted to him
that he should see attended to; be

character which will finally receive the
verdict of the great Judge, who shall

look upon the things of our getting

look upon the talents we may chance
to possess by nature or by attain

much all connected with our lives.
But we should remember that in this
life we are stewards and shall be-
called upon to return and give an

One Of the remarkable features Of
the amazing growth of foreign trade
OF the United States is the change
wrought in iron and steel transac.
tions. In 1890 we imported $70,-
100000 worth OF iron from foreign
countries and we exported $13,000,-
900 worth. During the fiscal year
1898 weimported 1000, 900 worth
and exported $50, 100000. Here is
a complete reversal Of former condi-
tions, all brought about in less than
twenty years. The world has never
seen q parallel to the recent expan-
sion of American commerce with
foreign countries.

At Lays Ferry.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the Issue
of Jan. 5, C. w. Mckay, of the Twentieth
Corps, in an article On the battle of Resaca,
tells about the Lays Ferry operations. He
speaks of Sherman's order to Mcpherson to
cross the river Immediately, and not wait for
evening; about Capt. James Compton and
IL men of the SD Ill. making the crossing
in pontoOn boat. and holding the south side,
while the engineers laid the bridge to enable
the troops to cross.
Comrade Mckay has this matter somewhat
mixed. / do not doubt that Capt. Compton
told him he crossed the river with his men in
pontoon-boat nor do ] challenge Comrade
Compton's word about the crossing but he
did not cross the river first, nor did he cross
at all that afternoon. There was no bridge
made that evening Some troops crossed the
next morning, early, and the bridge was
made and the Sixteenth Corps crossed.
Now here are the facts as regards crossing in
the evening: Cos. B, G and C, slst Ohio, and
our company of the Goth Ill. crossed then,
with Co. B, 91st Ohio, in the lead. 1t was
my privilege to be in command Of this COM
pany.
When told or ordered by the Colonel (R
N. Adams, now of Minneapolis, Mimi. J to
put my company in two boats that lay in
Snake Creek in our front, and 60 over the
river, was willing to sell out cheaply. 1
did as ordered, and issued my orders before
starting. l took the leading boat, while
Lieut.. Miller took the other. My boat went
straight across the river and landed, while
the second boat stuck about the middle on a
snag. 1t finally got off and landed.
In the meantime the other companies
crossed. Just before shutdown we recrossed
the river. The four companies lost in
wounded IL to Is men. Some died of their
wounds We took 10 prisoners and passed
them back. When my boat had got well out
into the current the Colonel ordered us all
back. / did not hear the order, and went
ahead. The Colonel ordered the balance of
the boats to follow. Capt. Compton, perhaps,
crossed the next morning when the bridge
was made.-GEO. w. DIXON, First Lieu

harness and four brass 12-pound Napoleon
guns and two 10-2ound rifles We also took
eight horses to each caissou, and eight horses
to the battery wagon and forge This equip
ment we kept intact until, early in April of
1864, we were ordered to report at Red CLAW,
in northern Georgia, where the Twenty
third Corps. called the Army of the Ohio, was
concentrating to help Sherman to crush
Johnston.
We as a battery did not crush the rebel
lion. nor put it down; but we did help the
18th battery, with the balance of Sherman's
army. to annihilate the last of Johnston's
army at Nashville, Tenn on Dec. Is and
Is, 1864, which was glory enough
The comrade saws that at Columbia the Odd
battery was sent North by rail. Now, on Nov.
20 we were stationed just south of the rail-
road bridge. with orders to hold it at all
hazards. Our brigade commander, Col Silas
Strickland, was ordered to protect the pom
toon and the railroad bridge.
All this was done, until, after dark, we
limbered up and went TO Franklin, arriving
noon of the 30th. About 4 o'clock on that
afternoon Hoods army fixed bayonets and
advanced i'll splendid battle array. 1t was

After the battle Of Nashville we were sta

Ohio got orders to join Sherman in North
Carolina.
On Christmas Day we were at Columbia,
Tenn. on our way to Clifton Landing, on the
Tennessee. where we took boats, went down
the Tennessee and up the Ohio When we
got to Cincinnati, the river was frozen; so
we unloaded, and took cars for Wheeling
and Washington, d. C. We finally reached
Goldsboro, where we united with Sherman's
true and tried veterans
All this time the 18th battery was in
"statu quo F" at Nashville. In the reorgani-
cation OF the army at Goldsboro the Odd was
transferred to the Tenth Corps, Maj Gen A.

The party that captured us, after little
parley, got the other squad pacified, and
set out on the road to return; and on the
way we stopped at the house where we
had intended TO take our supper, the
name of the owner being Series; and il
is located on what is known as the River
road to Abbeville Courthouse; and here
we were met by another pursuing party,
madden and drunken than either of the
others.
Indeed, it was the most excited and
drunken mob j ever saw, and never ex-
pect 10 look on its like again. 1t required
all the address we possessed to save our
selves from the Infatuated crowd in
number,-while glance at the dogs
showed that there were 80 of tilem-a
very respectable force to capture two men.
Our surrender had been made 10 Lieut.
Col. Table and Capt. Burt, commanders
of the party
Mr.. SeIlss was a gen:l emanly cid man,
and, am persuaded, did what he could
to pacify the crowd His wife, a good old
lady,, also did what she could for and
seemed TO sympatilize with us; but their
two daughters were of a different style
altogether
They ran through the excited and
drunken crowd, begging and pleading
with the Infatuated wretches to hang us,
Don't let them live, men. don't let
them live" and these expressions were
not without their effect upon our captots
For once i'll my life | saw the "Secesh'

mob roll d around us with pine-knot

smoke and glare added TO the hideousness
OF their excited countenanceS, and gave
10 the scene an additionally diabolical
appearance.
We told them that if we had to die il
would at least be generous to give us a
good supper before sending us on our
long journey TO the other world; and on
nearing this the old man Series walked
around among the crowd and invited
them to dismount, and take supper with
hlm; and in this i could readily perceive
that he was anxious to gain time for us.
Looking at their iaded horses, he took
care further to remind them that they had

SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS.

The famous Corp1 Pike, of the 4th Ohio
Cav, had life of almost continual adj
venture. His services TO the Union cause
in the civil war were very valuable. When
q young man, in 1859, he left Missouri for
Texas and became Texas ranger. When
the civil war broke out he at once plunged
into its most active and dangerous opera
tons. He gives us a story of wonderful
deeds, innoeently recited and appearing
TO have been looked upon as matter of
course. While his command was at
Brownsboro, Ala, in October, 1868, he was
sent alone with dispatch from Grant to
Sherman down the Tennessee River over
the Muscle Shoals 10 Iula. 1t was this
message which FASTENED Sherman's
movement TO Chattanooga. Pike and a
comrade set out on an expedition To Angus
