NOT HEREDITARY

In. the main, consumption
is not hereditary;it is infectious.
People are too afraid OF heredi-
+, better not think of the sub
jcct at all. Infection occurs
continually.
Low vitalforce is hereditary;
which gives consumption its
chance. And infection plants
it.
Between the two, the crop
is a big one: about one-sixth
Of the human race, so far as is
known.
We suppose it needn't be 5
per cent, if people would take

The care saves life in all
ways; the emulsion is specially
aimed at the lungs, beside its

The great BOOne's Lick road was trav-

The smaller streams were spanned by
rude bridges made by the pioneers, and
the wagons had a smooth route. What
afterward became the old Santa Fe trail,

One day as the lad Bob and some of the

lief, and that Gen. Sherman and staff had
accompanied the Regulars as far as
Corinth.
We were startled the afternoon of Sept
30 by a loud explosion, and looking in
the direction of BridSeport saw a dense
column of white smeke rising far in the
air. A large pile Of ammunition had ex-
plOded, killing 10 and wOunding 80 men.
The bodies of the dead were so mutilated
that their messmates could not recognize
them. They were engaged in unloading
this ammunition from cars to be placed
in wagons and hauled to Chattanooga,
when one dropped percussion shell,
which exploded and set off huge pile in
the vicinity.
The first rain for many weeks began
to fall the morning of Oct. l, and con-
tinued steadily all day, much to the dis
comfort and delay of all the troops in our
vicinity. who were suddenly called out to
meet Wheeler's Cavalry, which had
crossed the Tennessee River, headed for
the mountain road between us and Chat
tanOOga, where our wagons, loaded with
precious ratiOnS, will fall prey to the
torch. if the raiders are not driven away
in time.
Our ncighbors, the Sd Ohio and the bat
terry, were hurried away at noon, follow
ing Il large body of our cavalry from Ste
vensOn. 1t was not in the nature of old
soldiers to restrain their grumbling at the
fact of having to make a forced march
on such a day as this, after all the fair
weather of weeks past. But it is the
rebel General who has set the pace. and
he must not be allowed TO have his way,
or General Starvation will have his way
in Chattanooga. Our regiment is again
alone with the pontOoniers in charge of the
bridge.
1t is reported that Wheeler has burned
800 wagons loaded with provisions, and
shot or stampeded the mules. If so, our
hungry boys' in Chattanooga will have to
get along with one or two crackers less
each meal.
At midnight Oct. an order came from
Col Smith. Chief of Engineers. to send
to Bridgeport all pontoOns not used at our
crossing. Bridges are to be Telaid there

Bridges Over the cnickahominu

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
Gilbert Thompson, of the Engineers, a few
weeks ago gave his recollections of the
bridging Of the Chickahomny River dur
ing the campaign of 1862, beginning with
bottoms Bridge, and that Casey's Divi-
sion forded that stream; which is correct
III part. The Second Brigade arrived at
Bottoms Bridge on May 20, 1862, and
the S5th Pa, to which | belonged, crossed
by fording below where bridge had been.
Therefore, COmrade W. II. Rosser, of the
JZd Pa, is in error when he says his
brigade was the first to cross; that they
built the bridge. and crossed on it. Brig
Gen. IL. NJ. Naglee commanded First
Brigade mot NeCley). Gen. Mcclellan in
his report of the operations says Casey's
Division arrived ut Bottoms Bridge on
May 20; the enemy was there in small
force; that he ordered Casey's Division,
of the Fourth Corps, to ford the river at
once and occupy the nights on the further
bank. This was promptly done on the
2lst; that three regiments we're across the
stream covering the rebuilding Of the
bridge. Gen. Mcclellan further says that
on the 10th of May a reconnaissance had
been ordered on south side of the Chicka-
hominy towards James River. This was
accomplished by Brig. Gen. II. NJ. Naglee,
who crossed his brigade near Bottoms
Bridge and pushed forward to within two
miles Of the James River without serious
resistance or finding the emery in force;
that the rest of the Fourth Corps crossed
Oh the 23d of May.
When we fOrded the river some of
Berdan's Sharpshooters were already
across. We did not recross the ChickahOm-

the Berdan Sharpshooters, who were fir
ing as they ran. There was no attempt
by Tetreating rebels to defend themselves.
a few flags were still carried by that mob
of retreating men.
My recollection is there were three
flags. These men did not start from the
line, but turned when they saw their ad-
vance had been either killed or captured.
The famous charge was n failure. The
loss on our line was almost nothing. There
was never Il ghost of 4 chance for it to
win.
There was a second line behind the one
engaged that never fired a shot or lost q
man. There was no occasion for the sec
ond line to do any, as all of the enemy
were either running, dead, wounded, or
had surrendered when we came up. Al
ready there was long line of prisoners
passing to the rear.
A very, very few of our men had been
killed or wounded, not so many as half
u dozen were left along the line to pay
for thousands of the enemy who lay dead
or wounded in our front or had already
passed to the rear as prisoners. We had
our revenge for Fredericksburg, when we
did just such 4 foolish thing at Marye's
Hights.

SUBSCRIBERS ADVERTISING COL LUAgNs.

The plan briefly suggested here is a
practical one. Thousands of comrades will
patronize each other if they are shown
the way. The only way is to advertise
This is good time for developing the
plan. because n comrade may have ad-
vertising without cost if he will get up a
club. For every dollar sent to the paper
as a club-raiser he may have 81 worth of
advertising.
The price of this advertising has been
fixed mt , cents a word, which is a very
low rate. You reach a quarter-milIion
readers and will often get hundreds of re-
plies from Il single ad.
All the world deals now through the
mails or by express or freight. Try it
yourself.
Write us the substance of what you
want to say, and we will arrange it in the
fewest possible words.
A few examples are given in the follow
ing columns to illustrate the idea, but
fcations that will develop, such as stock,
schools and colleges, claims, etc.
Regimental historians and Secretaries
of Survivors Associations will find these
columns very useful.

other divisions, blocked the enemy's path
and drove him back around the left of our
line and away from Lafayette road, which
he so much desired TO secure as an open
route to Chattanooga.
Comparative quiet followed this re-
pulse of the enemy, but the roar of bat
tie continued away TO our right, where,
in fact, the Right Wing of our army was
falling back in confusion. Even Gen.
Rosecrans was on his way to Chattanooga
to provide for the defense of our pontoOn
bridges at Bridgeport and Battle Creek,
believing that his entire army was shat
tered. He did not know that five divi-
sions, including ours, still held their pO-
sition under the immediate command of
Gen. Thomas. Nor did Thomas know Of
disaster TO the right until he discovered
the enemy approaching from the direction
whence he expected reinfOrcements.
With the Right Wing disposed of,
Bragg turned his attention TO our five di-
visions, and at p. m. his lines of battle
rolled upon us like great pillows from the
sea, only TO be shattered and fall back
for another attempt. We bore the brunt

to our barricadcS. when we were ordered
to withdraw, fighting.

The western nations have known very
little of the really substantial advance
that Bulgaria has made in recent years
toward a higher civilization. The progress
of the country has actually been greater
than that of any other of the Balkan
States, except Roumania, which is usually
classed with them. 1t is all the more un-
fortunate, therefore, that Bulgaria should
be involved i'll the present worldwide
scandal which has resulted from the cap
ture of Miss Stone by brigands among
the mountains in faT-off corner Of the
country, almost on the border of Turkey.
II is only % years since Bulgaria was
released from the despotic rule of Tur-
key. at that time it was in a most de-
plorable condition, for Turkish misgOv
crnment had Il paralyzing effect upon
every interest of the country. There was
little exterior commerce and almost no
industry.
In the past few years, however, Bull
garia has been making large progress.
II has been advancing far more rapidly
than Servia; the improvement in its in
dustrial condition has been particularly
marked. The Bulgarians have the taste
and talent for manufactures which would
have been largely developed if it had not
been for their wretched condition while
under the Turkish regime.
Today they surpass the Seryians in
manufactures, and are particularly note
worthy for their leather and shoe goods,
woOlen textiles and carpets. To be sure,
most Of these goods are coarse and are
consumed chiefly in the home trade; bat
the industrial growth Of the country is
very noteworthy. and it is due to manu-
featuring development that all the chief
towns have increased in population from
four to tenfOld since Bulgaria, which in
cludcs Eastern Rumela. became free.
Twenty years ago the average annual
foreign trade of the country was only Just
about equal to that Of SerYia. Its average
foreign trade in the five years, 1891 '9J,
had increased so much that it was fully
double the trade of Servia. Recently,
however, Bulgaria has had a setback, due
to two or three years of crop failure,
which reduced its foreign commerce so
that in 1899 it barely equaled that of
Servia.
Bulgaria is the greatest source of altar
of roses, and raises the finest of cereals
and excellent cattle. 1t is not the noun
tain region, where the recent outrage was
perpetrated, but the broad, fertile plains,
particularly in the south of the country,
that are contributing most to help Bul-
garia to take an honorable place among
the nations.
