A rerxinc Dr,Il.

while we were at Savannah before
the battle of Shiloh" said the captain,
"the attention OF the provost marshal
was called to an old confederate few
miles below us, who was drilling his
men TO scuttle the union gunboats.
BE had the men armed with corn-cut-
tiers and cheeseknives, and his theory
was that, when the gunboats came up
the river, his men could dive under
them and cut holes in the bottom with
these knives. He had q terrific sort of
drill that was very impressive, and he
made the men believe that they could
disable the gunboats. In the midst of
the drill and while our own spies were
watching the crowd a gunboat came
putting up the river. The old fellow
seemed to have believed that a gunboat
was about the size of an ordinary skiff.
When he saw the boat as it was he fell
over on his back and made no resist
ance when the provost marshal arrest
ed him.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

On a Hospital steamer.

The sights seen from the hospital

ones that live in the mind of Mrs. Sa-

avalanche sliding down upon us. Those
poor fellows were hungry when they
hnally got into our care, and they de-
xoured an enormous quantity of bread.
One of them, when demurred at Civ.
ing him any more, said to me: "Oh, /

An Empress VINO wrentIe,

The empress dowager of China is
described by an English lady, who has
spent the greater part of her life in the
Celestial empire, as a much more re-
markable Woman than most Europeans
suppose. She is an ardent painter, and
her pictures are said to be admirable
specimens of Chinese art. Strange as
1t may seem, her majesty is also said
to be fond of wrestling, and frequent
ly INDUCES in this rather virile form of
exercise. She is well read, is fond of
European music, and has some skill as
pianist. She is said both by her
friends and enemies to be absolutely
without any sense Of fear, and, needless
10 say, her life has been attempted q

BUILDING A BRIDGE.

on the 18th, and another at Champion
hills on the 10th. In other words, we
were pretty busy. But on the night of
the nth, about nine o'clock, Gen. Nc
Pherson sent for Col. Hickenlooper, in
charge of the engineers, and said, blunt
ly: L want you TO build bridge across
Black river and have it ready at four
O'Clock in the morning. Hickenlooper
explained there were no bridge ma
terials at hand and asked where he
should find materials.
Gen. Mcpherson, apparently not no.
ticing the question, said: Il will expect
the bridge to be ready not later than
four o'clock Again Hickenlooper said:
But, general, where will L get the ma
terial" Mcpherson replied: Make the
bridge so that infantry and artillery
eau cross rapidly and have it com
pleted at four o'clock sharp Hicken-
looper, at his wits end, jumped on his
horse, spurred it to a gallop and gave
it free rein. There were no bridge ma
teriais with the army, but Hicken,ooper
knew that Gen. Mcpherson did not pro-
pose to discuss the question of material.
He expected the bridge to be built.
So Hickenlooper let his horse go as
it would, hoping that it would take him
to some place where he would find
suggestion or some assistance in the
matter of building the bridge. The
horse carried him in a roundabout way
to large cotton gin. 1t occurred at
once to the colonel that there was hi
bridge.
'He ordered out a large force OF men,
and in less than an hour the building
was RACED TO the ground and the heavy
timbers, planks and bales of cotton
were soon at the river bank. The cot
strung together and anchored up
stream. Stringers were placed from
bale to bale and on these were placed
the planks. On the planks was thrown
some loose dirt, to hold them more
firmly, and the bridge was complete.
The river at this point was over 200
feet wide, and was very deep, but the
bridge so rapidly constructed was pro-
nounced safe by the engineers. A few
minutes before four o'clock Hicken,
looper called Gen. Mcpherson, expect
ing the general to ask il the bridge
was completed. The general said Tot a
word about the bridge, but, turning to a
member of his staff, said: Order the
column to move and at four o'clock
the corps crossed Black river on a
bridge constructed in six hours of cot
ton bales and timbers from q cotton
gin."-Chicago Inter Ocean.

> Bedside.

Capt. MacClermont, of the Eleventh
New York cavalry, has the distinction
OF having been connected with the
great tragedy of the war-the asSas-
sination of President Lincoln.
In November of Ca" he said, 1--WE
lad been sent out from Baton Rouge
10 capture some confederate guns that
We knew were not far away, and I, with
ak men who had volunteered to help
zne wipe out some bushwhackers who
were shooting at us, were cut off from
sonr comrades by some confederate cav.
airy
Two OF the six men with me wer,
ALLIED and my horse was shot and fel
upon me, so that was easily taken
prisoner.
My exchange had just been effected
and on the day Lincoln was shot had
put on my lieutenant's uniform for the
Arst time.
There was on illumination in Wash.
dnyton that night, and In the crowd
my pocketbook, containing my ex.
change papers, some letters from Grant
and other valuable papers, was stolen.
Il went to the office of the Chronicle
10 advertise for them, and when 1 was
|soming out with a friend a man rushed
by shouting: The president has been
KILLED at Ford's opera house,
My friend and L started in that di.
rection, and as we came near we saw
u man rush from the back of the the.
alter, mount q horse and ride rapidly
away. It was John Wilkes Booth, and

gave us room when they saw my uni.
form. took one look at the wound.

port was only too true.
THE man who was supporting the
presidents head, seeing my officers
uniform, made room for me to take
ais place, and as 1 put my hand under
rthe dying mans shoulder some of hi.
blood trickled down on my cuff.

And though clouds have often mingled
With the sunshine on our way,
Yet the sky between hath ever
Kept for US Its brightest blue,
And the Clouds themselves been tinted
With a soft and tender hue;
And between US not a shadow
Hath e'er found room to creep,
We have trod SO close together
Our way or smooth or steep
And together Wen go forward
Into another year,
With hearts to God uplifted
Calmly and without fear,
Forwe know that His love for His chosen
Nevermore waxeth cold,
And ours for each other groweth
