ON THE BULL RUN FIELD.
Discussion of Some Points About the Sec
ond Battle.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue OF Dec. 70 | read Comrade NJ.
Reeds article on the second Bull Run bat
tie. Ii is the first | have ever seen from
any member of my regiment. l am glad to
note that he agrees with COmrade Carter
and myself that Sykes's Brigade was en-
gagged about four times as many hours
as Patrick Breen gave us credit for in his
"RecOllectiOns OF a Regular"
My only object in writing at all was to
state that Breen was in error when he
said 'the two hours in which they were
engaged" That point is, l think, settled.
Now, as to Comrade Reeds article. He
and l were undoubtedly very near each
other on that day. Which battalion was
on the left or right do not know, but both
were there without doubt. What / wrote
| in my previous article dealt almost en-
irely with the affairs of my own bat
TALON. l saw some of the same scenes de-
scribed by Comrade Reed, however. l saw
Capt. Browns horse tumble on his head
| and saw him whirl and run. / was not
near enough to hear what Capt. Brown
said, being some four or five companies to
| the left and a little in the rear, but | saw
the incident. Capt. OConnell do not re-
member at all, but l remember Capt. Nc
| Kibhen, who commanded our battalion (the
Secondl. Capt. Brown was the only First
| Battalion officer that knew by name, and
| l knew only one man beside IN the entire
First Battalion. He was Frank Barney,
a private. He was an old schoolmate of
mine, but l do not remember his company.
In my own battalion | knew by sight the
following Captains: Lawrence, Mccall,
| O'Breen, j. j. COppinger, Co. B, and
Joseph ii. Locke, Co. q, my own COM
pany. The names of the other three Cap,
tains of my battalion l have forgotten.
! AS to the matter OF battalions, | will
state that there is no possibility of mistake
! as to the number of the battalion to which
| | belonged. My own discharge, in my pos
session, shows this, and letter from Col
| COppinger, written to me when he was
Colonel of the 23d U. S., at San Antonio,
| Tex, states as follows:
Il was Captain of Co. B, of the Second
Battalion, of the 14th u. S., in 1852, and
was wounded at Second Bull Run, as you
describe" This was in answer to a letter
written by me to him.
| The battle scenes as described by Com
rade Reed are just as l remember them,
from the cornfield, at the beginning to the
time of McDOwelPs visit to the field, etc.
l will say, however, that as remember it,
the wounding of Capt. McKibben and the
unhorsing of Brown, as well as Mellow
ellis visit to the field, oil took place before
| Capt. Coppinger was wounded. Comrade
Reed does not state at what hour his COM
pany left the field, en- route to Centerville,
but think we were on the field until very

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
To Keep Healthy and Strong.

A healthy appetite and common sense
are excellent guides to follow IN matters Of
diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits and
meats is undoubtedly the best, in spite of
the claims made by vegetarians and food
cranks generally.
As compared with grains and vegetables,
meat furnishes the most nutriment in a
highly concentrated form and is digested
and assimilated more quickly than vegeta-
bles or grains.
DIR. julius Remusson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run down in
health and Of low vitality should eat
plenty of meat. Ii the digestion is too
feeble at first it may be easily strengthened
by the regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal. Two of these ex-
cellent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of meat,
eggs or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also con-
tanned in Stuart's Tablets cause the per-
feet digestion of starchy foods, like pota-
toes, bread, etc, and no matter how weak
the stomach may be, no trouble will be eX-
perienced if regular practice is made of
using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because
| they supply the pepsin and diastase so nee
| essary TO perfect digestion, and any form
of Indigestion and stomach trouble, except
cancer of the stomach, will be overcome by
their daily use.
lnal large cldSS OIL people WHO come ui-
der the head of nervous dyspeptics should
eat plenty Of meat and insure its complete
digestion by the systematic use of a safe
harmless digestive medicine like Stuart
| Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the nat
ural digestive principles, peptOnes and dias.
tase, which actually perform the work OF
digestion and give the abused stomach q
| chance to rest and to furnish the body and
| brain with the necessary nutriment. Cheap
| cathartic medicines, masquerading under
the name of dyspepsia cures, are useless
! for relief or cure of indigestion because
they have absolutely no effect upon the ac
| tual digestion Of food.
| Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply O
failure of the stomach to digest food, and
the sensible way to solve the riddle and
cure the indigestion is to make daily use
at meal time of a safe preparation which
is endorsed by the medical profession and
| known to contain active digestive princi
pies, and all this can truly be said OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.

Paul Dodge, Doth Ind, Hesperia, Mich,
regarding the controversy, over, details of

breakfast until Tuesday. We had to
change position a number of times, but

Reflection of a spinstsr.

Most men regard business integrity as
of greater Importance than good morals.
A woman encircles love with q halo
a man encircles it with two arms.
The wife Of a hobby-rider is never more
than an afterthought.
1t is a mistake for a man to try to de-
crease his debts by contracting them.
A man generally lives all his life with
the woman he marries for money.
A man who talks of million dollar
schemes generally borrows from his
friends.
It's poor sort of man who attributes
his failure in life to having married poor
girl.-Judge.
