tured. The following report is made
of this incident:
Eight men were sent to guard Nc
Millans ford, on the Holston. One OF
them went off on his own hook, so
that seven were left One of them was
a large, powerful fellow, the farrier
of company B. by name Alexander II.
Griggs. The seven men actually kept
a confederate brigade from crossing
that ford for 33a hours by desperate
fighting. killing 40 or so.
The conlederates, by swimming the
river above and below The ford, sue
ceeded in capturing the whole party.
During the fight the big farrier was
badly wounded in the shoulder.
Gen. Wheeler was much astonished
at the valor of these men, and at once
paroled a man to care for the wound
ed man. Approaching the latter, the
following dialogue is said to have
taken place:
Gen Wheeler Well, my man, how
many men had you at the ford?
ggs-Seven, sir
Wheeler-My poor fellow, don't you
know you are badly wounded? You
might as well tell me the truth. You
may not live long.
Griggs Indignantly am telling
the truth, sir. We had only seven
men.
Wheeler Laughing -Well, what did
you expect to do?
Griggs-To keep you from crossing,
Wheeler-Well, why didn't you do
it?
Griggs Why, you see, we did until
you hit me, and that weakened our
forces so much that you were too
much for rs.
Gen Wheeler was greatly amused,
and inquired of another prisoner (who
happened to be a horse farrier, too):
s'Are all the Tenth Michigan like you
fellows?'
ooh, mol" said the man, eve are the
poorest of the lot. We are mostly
horse farriers and blacksmiths, and
not much accustomed to fighting"

Psychology means the science OF the
mind; knowledge of the power with
in; and the application of this science
to the physical ills of the body is
known as suggestive therapeutics.
There is no nerve or muscle of the hui
man body which cannot be brought
under the absolute control of the
mind At the Chicago school of psy-
chology patients, as well as students.
are taught the true meaning of the
power of the mind.
The normal condition of man is one
of health. When a sufferer is placed
in the right way of regaining health
nature will perfect the recovery. Ply
sicians have too greatly neglected to
cultivate the natural force of recuper-
alton and resistance inherent in every
man. Metaphysicians have gone to
the other extreme and refused to
sanction the use of necessary medi-
cines F'The wise man is he who
bends all things to his service in the
evolution of good" 1t is not claimed
that suggestion will cure anything
but mental and imaginary complaints
instantaneously, but that by the eff
fects it can be made to exert upon
the main organs of nutrition and
elimination it can be used as a spe-
cific in some troubles and an adj
juvant in every known disease. The
same force which. if sent into the
arm by the mind. enables man to
lift weight of 100 pounds, if proper
ly directed gives him power to over
come functional trouble. Sugges-
ton is the keynote of the school. The
situations beautiful and the surround
ings of the patients who remain in
the house are harmonious and tend to
produce tranquil and pleasant con-
dition of mind. To a layman, one of
the most wonderful things to be wit
messed in the treatment of a patient
by suggestion alone is the rapid in
crease in weight. Several pounds per
week are gained in most cases. The
theory is that dyspepsia, headache,
kidney troubles, catarrh, neuralgias,
rheumatism, insomnia and most other
diseases are produced by troubles of
circulation. If the blood supply to
an organ be insufficient, impure or OBJ
structed, it will soon begin to per-
form it's work in an imperfect man
ner. Ulcers remain unhealed for years

Comrade Peter Salmon, of Chicago,

YOUNGEST SOLDIER OF ALL.
A wisconsin Boy who Enlisted at the

Another strong claimant has arisen
for the honor of being known as the
youngest surviving soldier who fought
in the war. This one says the Chicago
Tribune, is P. NJ. Brist, publisher of
the Southern Vindicator, at Hammond,
La, and he has documentary evidence
to support his contentious. Mr.. Brist's
story is as follows:
81 was born December %, 1851. I en-
listed with company NJ, First Wisconsin

when the circulation is poor. Sugges-
tions are given tending to increase
and improve the blood supply. Often
a light massage helps to strengthen
the suggestion. The circulation fol-
lows the attention. If the hand be
carried along the body to the seat of
the disease and allowed to rest there
the circulation will be found to i'm
prove at once. The blood flows more
freely through the affected part. The
cut shows patient in the suggestive
condition, the sbody being completely
relaxed. His attention is being direct
ed to various parts of the body by
the operator.
A serious case of nervous prostration
of ten years duration was treated at
the clinic some time since; a young
man broken down physically and men
tally. Each June he has had an attack
of melancholia, of homicidal and sui
cidal mania. The whole trouble was
found to lie with the organ of elimina-
ton, causing a poor blood supply to
the brain and nervous system. He was
placed in a suggestive condition, was
told that he would be hungry, and
thirsty, and happy. Was instructed
how to hold his thought toward health,
and to-day he is one of the jolliest, hap
piest, DISTINGUISHED looking young
men one might wish to see. His mental
trouble has entirely disappeared. One

nervous prostration, gained % pounds

desired to have her general system
built up that she might be able to I'M

in an easy position and inducing her
to relax the whole body, she was found
to be suffering from nervous contrac-

other surgery, suggestion has proved
a wonderful aid. Anaesthesia can. in
many cases, be produced so that pa

naming insensible to pain. Recently

who could not take chloroform, was
anaesthetized by suggestion, the fore

STORY oF THE CIVIL WAR.
An Amusing Incident OF gen. wheel

michigan Cavalry.

Capt E. J. Brooks, of the Tenth
Michigan cavalry. while in command
of about 125 convalescents and spe-

about $50 men from other commands,
was left in garrison at Strawberry
Plains, Tenn. They were attacked
August "a. 1864, by Gen. Joe Wheeler
and a force of from 5000 to 5000 men,
with nine pieces of artillery. The
union troops made 3 successful de-
Tense against this force, and thus
saved the post from capture and
the great railroad bridge from de-
struction. says the Detroit Free Press.
During the attack seven of Brooks
men, by hard fighting, held NcMil-
1an's ford, on the Holston river, for
31k hours against a brigade of confed-
crate cavalry, killing 30 or so of them;

species. It is easily distinguished by
the fower-stalks, which rise to the
height of one to three feet. All along
the main stem, except the lower part,
are the small spikes of flowers, ar
ranged quite close together. These
spikes are half an inch or less in
length and turned back upon the main
stem, as shown in the ilIustra ton. One
great advantage possessed by this
plant, and an advantage that is likely
to have great influence in it's intro
duction as cultivated grass, is the
ease with which the seed may be gath
cred. In small quantities it can be
easily stripped off with the hands. If
cultivated the seed can be harvested
with as little difficulty as timothy.

looked like boy with his blond hair
and smooth face, and small hands,

he was in a slzirmish or on scouting
expedition. Between the picket posts
of the two armies was a pawpaw
thicket. The confederates managed to
station their outposts so as to COM
mand this thicket, and a union sol
der went into it at his peril. Black
knew this, but one morning when he
was released from outpost duty he
started gun in hand for what he called
the pawpaw orchard. He was going
to have some pawpaws or lose his
head.
Before he had proceeded very far
the case was reported to the officer
in charge and Black was ordered back.
When the order was shouted at him
he pretended to misunderstood, waved
his hand and went on. In five minutes
the confederates opened fire on the
blond head that showed above the
bushes. Still the owner of the head
went on picking pawpaws until he
had filed his haversacK. Then he
started back, walking deliberately and
turning occasionally to thumb his
nose at the confederate pickets. After
he left the thicket, the confederates
ran forward, a dozen men fired and
Black went down. He came up again
and started on a run for our post.
