Here they are!' and rushed on with
sharp demand for surrender.
THE confederates were so tired and
sick that they offered no resistance.
One of them said, with easy indiffer-
ence: You needn't make such n fuss.
We surrender. There are our guns
and our one man picked up three guns
and brought three prisoners into
camp. These prisoners told us such
stories that we knew that Bragg's
whole army was in striking distance,
but as tagged as we were. The 4ext
day we left the main road and marched
asrapidlyas men couldmarch to n little,
town west or south of Louisville. We
didn't know where we were going, but
suddenly us we emerged from the
woods a great river was before us. and
beyond it farms and houses, peace and
prosperity.
"Some one shouted: The Ohio!' and
10000 voices were raised in cheering.
We were at Westpoint, on the Ohio,
where full rations were issued. Every
enc was so hungry, from the general
commanding the division down, that
there was little formality about TAX
ing rations, As our company ran up
to the lines of barrels and boxes n
smallish man was looking over a barrel,
his head and shoulders hid. Now every
man knew that the choicest crackers
were in barrels, and one Of our boys,
rough sort of wag, struck the man
bending over the barrel smart slap
and said: Get out of the way, pard;
You are too slow The head and shout
ders of the man struck up with a
jerk. and before us stood Gen. Ammen,
commanding the brigade.
THE man who had done the spank
ing started to the rear, and explained
TO the men coming up that he had
spanked brigadier and was trying to
get out of the way. AS the sun went
down fully one-half the men in the
division threw off their clothes and
jumped into the river, while the other
half stood guard, The next day we
marched into Louisville TO be received
with such cheers and enthusiasm as
rarely greeted an army. The dirty,
footsore men of the army of the Ohio,
after few days rest, turned on their
old enemy, and before the middle of
November had driven him back to Muir
freesboro and McMinnville.

turned this way and that; we lowered
about wagon trains miles in length; we

hours, and then went TO the right or

The night was bitter cold, but the
boy Travelled on, picking his way
Through the darkness and forests. At
length he reached Little river, q dis
lance of eight miles. Tho stream was
swollen and he could not cross. He
doubled back on his trail for some dis
tance, and made his way to the house
of an old friend of his father. The
gentleman received him kindly and,
early in the morning, he proceeded on
his way. BY daylight he was able to
cross the river, and at length reached
the federal picBets. Then, under
charge of sergeant, he was sent to
Gen. Burnside's headquarters, still
several miles away.
The general read the dispatch, and
learned that Sherman's army was at
hand. In a few minutes bands of
music struck up, and batteries pealed
the news that relief was coming.
Little Johnny sat wondering what it
all meant. Suddenly soldiers gathered
round him, and one of them, catching
him up, set him on his shoulders, and
with cheers and shouts he was carried
down the street. Then, for the first
time, Johnny understood all he had

STORY OF A MESSAGE.

Among stories of war, few are more
thrilling than those of dispatches car
ried through an enemy'S country. An
instance given by the author of EAST
Tennessee and the Civil War" offers a
striking picture of the almost infinite
dangers which often attend upon such
a service.
During the siege of Knoxville it was
imperative for Grant, at Chattanooga,
to communicate with Gen Burnside.

by as many different routes. One of
the messengers was never heard of
again. Three were taken prisoners,
and the fifth, arriving at Kingston,
after ride of so miles, was too thor
loughly exhausted to proceed farther.

the crow flies. Burnside must have

Emect of Altitude.

Perhaps in no state of the Union has climate so much to do with the charac- ter of the people as in Colorado Is the contention of writer in Ainslee's. He says In part:
 "Go into Colorado, climb the long ascent from the level of the Missouri and then as you emerge from the train into the handsomely improved streets and among the unsurpassed brick and stone residences of Denver feel your head swim with the lofty altitude and the rarefied air; then reasze that the miners went on a mile farther into the air, that they are working and taking out millions of dollars of gold to the present day a mile higher in the air at Cripple Creek, at Leadville and q dozen other places. It will make you pause to think what exaltation there Is in dwelling there always, what staying powers the pioneers must have had.
 Wait a day or so until the vertigo has passed away and the exhilaration comes to you that always comes when you have climbed mountain and stood upon its top and gazed out over wide world that expands below you. Then you will begin to feel that cleo tric, that nervous surcharge, that in- domitable, und-scourageable, almost towering spirit of elevation and still further elevation that makes Colorado almost the liveliest, the most ire pressible, the most determined element in the American body, social and poli- tic u

The Craving For ts.

The blood normally contains stimu- lants, and that these stimulants exer- else favoring influence on function and conduce to and may even be nec- essary factor in the production of the feeling of well being explains the wide spread liking in man and beast for stimulating substances. This liking, amounting often to a craving, is the expression of great physiological principle. When health is perfect, when the blood Is well provided with its proper stimulants and not over charged with depressants, there Is no craving for extraneous stimulants, such as alcohol, tea or coffee, but when the blood Is defective in the one or sur charged with the other then is felt the desire for the glass of wine or the cup of tea.
 In order to obviate this desire the body should be kept at the highest lev el of health. The more perfect the health the more perfect will be the composition of the blood in respect to both physiological stimulants and dele terious toxins. A blood properly con stituted in these and other respects will exercise T gentle stimulant action on the nervous system and induce a condition of mild physiological intoxi- cation, which expresses itself in feel ing of well being and happiness-a con- dition that cannot be bettered.-Lan- ppf
