THE WONDERFUL CAUCASUS.
Its People Said to Be Samples Left
from Early Migrations.

From Scrihner's Magazine.
From the Oxus to the Arctic Circle,
and from Kars to Kamchatka, the Tsar
rules many strange people and coun-
tries, but the Caucasus is Strangest Of
all. Indeed. anyone who averrcd that
the Caucasus is the most interesting
land of the world would be able to back
his opinion with good reasons.
The range is a wall across the mar
row isthmus which joins Europe and
Asia, and the Gorge of Darrell is the
door in this wall through which have
come almost all the migrating peoples
between East and West since men be-
gan to move at all. From many of
these migration stragglers remained,
some in one valley, some in another,
and their new homes lent themselves
so we'll to defense against all after
comers that the original settlers were
able TO increase and multiply and keep
their race intact. Hence the Caucasus
contains today the direct and not
greatly changed descendants of peoples
otherwise lost in the mists OF remote
anti lCity. 1t is, I'm the words of Mr..
Douglas Freshfeld, the first explorer
ana climber of the mountains, IAN eth
biological museum where the invaders
of Europe, as they Travelled westward
to be manufactured into nations, left
behind samples Of themselves in their
row condition"
The Germans dastroyers of sacred
and profane legend, do not accept this
theory, and Professor Nirchow declares
that Ii is disproved by the fact that the
Caucasus could not have been a high
way when the ice-fields came down
lower than they do now, and that the
languages of the Caucasus are not re-
lated to languages elsewhere, as would
have been the case If the speakers of
them were remnants Of greater ma
tions that had passed ON.

Battles Realistically Reproduced

big battle which would be fought with the
utmost realism and with the latest arms and tha
biggest guns known in modern warfare. As va
were in a drawing room in the quiet country,

hostess send for a little bit OF string, walking

The maid brought in the three simple articles
I have mentioned Our hostess put the walking
stick and the glass of water on the table, and.
taking the string in her fingers, did this: At
one end she made Il small loop lust big
| enough tor couple OF fingers to pass through
it. with an ordinary knot. At the other cad,
with an ordinary knot, she made another loop
jus, big enough TO put your head through. The
little bit Of string, | should say, was between
three and -four yards in length. She now slightly

drop oi water applied with a finger tip, aud

When il was properly adjusted ] suddenly i,a

The Blame for Holly Springs.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Nov. 2S COmrade Green Il. Raum
in his account of the Holly Springs dis
aster, Dee. 49, 1862, speaks of Col r. W.
Murphy, of the Sth Wis, being IN com
mand, and censures Col. Murphy.
Right here COmrade Raum should have
stated that the Sth Wis. was on that
same day at Oxford, Miss, under com,
mand of Lieut-CO Geo. W. Robbins, and
not at all responsible for this much-re'
gretted reverse.
Also, Dec. 30, the regiment marched to
the Mississippi Central Railroad and EN-
barked for the Tallahatchie River, dis
embarked and drove the enemy away (who
were trying to burn the bridge, and the
next day the regiment, with other troops
marched 1S miles and arrived at Holly
Springs retiring orderly to the city.
We, the survivors of The Eagle Regi-
ment,' are very proud of our history, and
this is the first time | have ever heard or
read u word save in praise for the regl-
ment Therefore, / sincerely hope that
The National Tribune will say something
generating us from any participation in
that reverse.
Col. Murphy prior to this had made n
most splendid record, but was smarting
under the censure of Gen. Rosecrans for
his (Murphy'S) behavior at Iuka, Sept. ID
when the advance of Prices army at
tackled that place. Here, as always pc
fore, Murphy was deserving of praise in
stead of censure, as every one of us boys
will vouch for, especially those who were
taken prioners on picket that morning by
Col Gordon's 4th Miss. Cav. Col. Muir
ply held Iuka all that day with only one
brigade-the 47th ILL.,, 11th Mo-, 9th
Mimi, Sth Wis. and SpOor's Battery cd
Iowa., against the $4,000 rebels, under
Price. Rosecrans was TO blame for that
reverse, but blamed Murphy.-HoRACE
