LIEUT.. BAcHMAN's STATEMENT.

Edwin l. Bachman, First Lieutenan,
of Co. I, 33d Ind, makes the following
statement:
Il was Quartermaster of the Second
Brigade, Third Division, Twentieth Army
Corps, and had a fine view OF the battle
of Peachtree Greek, July 20, 1854,
especially the manuvers of the Third
way to have Col. Coburn approve certain
papers and reports for the Quartermas-
ter General.
"There was a battery in the Fourth
Corps, stationed on a knoll in the woods
about one-half mile from the creek, and
about three-quarters of q mile west was
another battery similarly situated, which
| understood belonged to the Second Di-
vision of the Twentieth Corps. There was
gap between these two batteries in an
open field, where no troops were stationed,
and when | rode up the north side OF the
creek, saw the two brigades, the First
and Second, of the Third Division, Twen
tieth Corps, on the south side of the
creek moving up to close this gap, and
shortly afterward the battle opened with
charges by the enemy on the two batteries,
and down in the open field. The rattle
of the small-arms was constant and the
fight fierce. The two batteries were taken
by the Confederates on a charge, retaken
by a counter-charge of our troops at least
three different times; the First and Second
Brigades of the Third Division, Twentieth
Corps, were soon reinforced by the Third
Brigade; all marched steadily forward
and closed up the gap in the line of bat
tie. Had it not been for the promI tness
of Col. John Coburn, after the information
he gained from Henry H. Crist, of my
COMPANY, to move his brigade up in line
with the two batteries, together with the
First and Third Brigades, it might have
resulted in the capture Of the two bat
teries and route of the Third Division of
the Twentieth Corps. which was stationed
on the banks of the creek, as the on
slaught was heavy, the enemy being in
full force.

10 all whom 1t may concern: This is
to certify that Private Henry Fl. Crist, OF

Cumberland, was the first man who gave
Information to Col. John Coburn, COM
manding said brigade, Of the advance of
the enemy at the commencement of the
battle OF Peachtree Greek, Ga, and that
had it not been for this information our
whole division would have been taken by
surprise and been forced back across
Peachtree Greek.
Il further bear testimony to the general
good character and soldieriy bearing and
qualifications of said Crist, especially since
he has been on this campaign. He was In
the battle of Resaca, Ga, and received
painful, though not dangerous. wound. He
has been in every battle and skirmish that
the regiment has been engaged in and has
been on all the marches of the rgiment.
According to the muster roll Of his
company his term of service expires On the
23d day Of August, 1854. In consideration
of the very valuable service which id
Crist rendered to the 33d Regiment and to
the brigade and division to which said
regiment is attached on the Doth day of
July, 1864, at the battle of Peachtree
Creek, l do hereby relieve him from any
further duty with his company, unless he
prefers to continue on duty as heretofore.
Private Crist will remain with the com

fer, until the non-veterans are relieved
and ordered to Indiana, at which time he
will report himself to regimental head
quarters.

Keep pulverized borax on hand in hot

or cold starch, sets red table linen and
saves soap. Borax powder sprinkled over
fresh meat will keep it sweet longer, and

Use clean, soft rags to remove the grease

all to start the kitchen fire. Put your hand

After cleaning the table, place a folded

be removed with cloth and clear hot
water, using as little possible; then rub
gently with dry cloth until nearly dry.
To make boiled vegetables look white and
delicate, put plenty of water in the kettle

Harper's Bazaar.
Minnie Maddern Fiske did not reach her
present commanding position without a
long and arduous struggle. but the develop
ment of her art has been gradual and COM
plete. The mastery which she has now
gained the only American actress who
can interpret the emotions of the soul with
the intellectual intensity that distinguishes
the great artist has been the result of
thoughtful study and careful cultivation.
OF all the actresses on our stage to-day
she perhaps has behind her work more OF
that quality which we call mind.
Mrs. Fiske has more than intelligence
she has intellect, and it is through this in
tellectual power that she is able to seize
the motives of human conduct and give
them that intense dramatic expression,
with the quiet force and self-restraint
which are the acme OF acting. This self
restraint and intellectual consciousness
have sometimes been carried TO a fault, so
that. if anything, she has appeared too
self-contained and too self-repressive in the
interplay of the emotion.
Mrs. Fiske rarely lets herself go. She is
at times trifie sef-conscious, and. not
withstanding the fact that her art lies in
mastering the character rather than al
lowing the character to master her, it
would seem as if she held the woman she
is impersonating too firmly in leash some
times. But it is a graceless thing to criti-
else the very slight defects which arise
from the very quality of her imaginatio
and from the distinctive methods of her
acting.
