Wheeler's Bravery.

Wheeler's charge at the battle OF
Shiloh was said by General Grant to
be one Of the most splendid exhibitions
Of human bravery he had ever witness
ed, and q feat which reused admira-
ton among both armies was when the
intrepid little general accomplished the
destruction of Rosecrans' provision
train after the battle Of Chickamauga.
On Dec. 30. 1863. General Wheeler
attempted and successfully carried out
one Of the most daring. perilous and
important duties ever assigned a cav
airy commander. He crossed the Ten:
ncssee river in the face Of division of
cavalry under General George Crook.
drove back and worSted the troops that
guarded the Federal trains Of GOO
mules and 1000 wagons and captured
the whole. with 1.5O0 prisoners.
While he was thus engaged Rose
Grams cavalry, 5000 strong. swept
down upon the Georgians. The latter
charged and repulSed the northerners,
capturing the forts at McMinnville.
Tenn. with GEO prisoners and great
stores; capturing the forts and destroy
ing the bridges near Murfreesboro. and
then. as full Of fight as at the begin
ming of the enga cement. they turned
and put to rout General Hooker and

enforce the Yankecs.-Chicago Journal

John &. CalhOun's Formal WOOing.

Though an ardent lover fretting at
times slow course until his wedding day,
John C. Calhoun wrote but one letter to
his sweetheart-his pretty cousin Florlde
Calhoun. All the other communications,
when the lovers were separated, were
made through her mother. But shortly
before their marriage "the Great Multi
fer" wrote expressing his anxiety for
the arrival of the happy day, and the
letter recently come to light is published
in the May Ladies Home Journal. After
giving hearty expression to the JOY he
has found in her company the letter runs:
OK It gives me much satisfaction that
time and absence make no impression on
my love for you; it glows with no less
ardor than at the moment Of parting,
which must be happy omen of its per-
manent nature. When mere personal
charms attract, the impression may be
violent but cannot be lasting, and it re-
quires the perpetual presence of the
object to keep it alive; but when the
beauty of mind, the soft and sweet dis
position, the amiable and lovable charac-
ter embellished with innocence and
cheerfulness are united to the attractions
of personal beauty, it bids defiance to
time. Such, my dear Floride, are the
arms by which you have conquered,
and it is by these the durability of your
sovereignty is established over your sub
iect whom you hold in willing servitude.
May God preserve you. Adieu, my love;
my hearts delight. am your true lover" J"

Three women were In the waiting
room. Two of them were willing to
make an appointment for the next
day. The third one, stranger. would
hear to no delay, and the doctors as
sistant showed her in.
IL had my hat in my hand" said the
doctor, land she had been told that l
was In a hurry. She came across the
room in q most leisurely fashion, how
ever, taking three times Us much time
as the ordinary person would. She
was chewing an unusual wad Of gum
q whole package, I should say-and she
was chewing it with desperate vigor.
''She sat down slowly, and asked
her question. She looked straight at
ME and went on chewing. l spoke
again and again, but she sat looking
at me and chewing In as much silence
as was possible under the circum-
stances. Finally said to her:
"'Madam. will you kindly stop chew
ing long enough to answer my ques-
tions"
"Then she burst out, sobbing:'
"'That's just what I'm here for-l
can't stop-I've got to chew-and I've
been chewing just this way for more
than two years. "-Chicago Tribune.
