me that the proprietor was making a

international law. Although l was using
the material, 1 thought it best to write
Gen. Sherman letter stating what had

Gen. Dodge then related that in reply
Sherman sent him highly diplomatic
note, saying nothing about international
law or the French flag, but telling him he
might destroy all Georgia to make the
bridge good and strong. Subsequent to

The First shot At aettyspurg.,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is not my
intention to discuss with Comrade Ditzler,
Sth Ill. Cav, the question as to who
| fired the first shot at Gettysburg" But L
will call bis attention to few facts which
he seems to have ignored:
First. He says that the first shot" Of
his regiment was fired about o'clock in
the morning of July l."
AlphOnse Hodges had his little scrap
with Heth's Division. as Hcth himself
says, within few minutes of 6 a. M"
Second. The Government, through a
mixed commission of Union and Confed
crate soldiers, has mapped the field of
Gettysburg to show the positions of bril-
gades not only on each of the three days,
but at different hours of each day. These
maps show that CANDLES Brigade, to
which the Sth Iii. Cav. belonged, was not
on the Cashtown Road at any time. but
was formed on line reaching from the
north side of the railroad grading to the
Johannesburg Road.
Devin's Brigade, to which the 9th n. Y.
Cav. belonged. was formed on line south
of the grading, and the Cashtown Road
ran through its line. The only trouble
with Comrade Dtzler is that he has got
himself and his gallant regiment on the
wrong road.
Third. 1t is a rule of the Memorial As
ISOLATION that whenever regiment wishes
TO immOrtalize anyJparticular achievement
on its monument it must satisfy the Asso-
citation by indubitable proof that its claim
is historically true. Under this rule the
Association permitted the 9th n. Y. Cav.
to claim in letters of granite the credit of
discovering the Enemy"
This will end the debate as far as am
concerned. As for Comrade DitZler. must
leave him to fight it out with the Govern
ment maps and the Memorial Association.

A QUEER PICTURE THING.

The Way One Art Treasure Was Res
cued From Oblivion.
Few chapters In the worlds history
are more curious and interesting than
that which deals with the fortunes of
its art treasures In the cathedral at
Montreal is, or was few years ago,
a large piece Of tapestry which had
been discovered In back street of a
New England town. The story is told
in Mrs. Silsbees Half Century of
Salem"
One day certain Mr. Miller passing
through Derby street saw a woman
beating clouds of dust from a carpet.
Something peculiar in its appearance
made him stop and look closely at it,
when he discovered, to his astonish-
ment, that it was a splendid piece of
tapestry, with life sized figures
wrought from RaphaeHs cartoon,

The, woman was quite willing to
tell how she obtained it. 1t was in
fact, a standing grievance to her Her
husband was a sailor, and when he
went out on one of his VOYAGES she
had begged him to bring her carpet
for her best room. AS 1t happened he
did not visit port where he could
buy carpet, but rolled up in little
shop on the quay at Malta he had
found the tapestry and purchased it,
thinking it might answer the purpose.
1t was too large for the room, and the
woman had to turn big piece under
She folded the piece back, revealing
part of the superb border of fruit and
flowers, wrought in silk and gold
thread, as fresh as when it was first
worked. But the owner eyed it WITH
contempt She never did like the

1t was the opportunity of lifetime.

choice of any carpet in the stores in
exchange for her queer picture
thing" and the woman as promptly
accepted the Offer They went down
town together, and she selected, with
unbounded delight, hideous pattern
Of glowing reds and greens. Her face
was full Of triumph when she re-
turned. The best room at last was to
have carpet that was carpet!

A VAST SALT FIELD.
How the Product Is Obtained In the
Middle of the Colorado Desert

How the Product Is Obtained In the
/ Middle of the Colorado Desert.
| In the middle of the Colorado desert,
little to the north OF the Mexican
border and 264 feet below the level Of
the sea, lies field of erystallized salt
more than thousand acres in extent,
presenting a surface as white as snow
and beneath the MONDAY glare of the
sun so dazzling that the naked eye
cannot stand it's radiance. 1t stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Colo, an ocean of blazing, blistering
white.
Here daily throughout the year men
are at work overturning the great de-
posit with massive plows and scrapers,
getting it into great piles preliminary
to putting it through the refining proc
ess. The salt plows used to secure the
harvest are great four wheeled nipple
ments driven by steam and managed
by two men. The salt crust is thrown
up in parallel ridges; then laborers
with hoes work 1t to and fro In the
water, washing out the dirt prelim-
mary to stacking it in mounds to be
taken to the mill
Salt springs in adjacent foothills are
constantly contributing to the deposit,
and so heavily laden are they with al
most pure salt that the pillow has hardly
passed on before a new crust has
formed in the furrow left This fact
renders it unnecessary to operate more
than a small portion of the vast de-
post.
AS may be supposed, work in these
fields is performed under the most try
ing conditions. No white man can
stand the intense heat, and for this
reason the work is done wholly By
Japanese and by Coahuila Indians OF
these the Indians are by far the better
adapted to the work. the Japanese per-
forming only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped The
atmosphere, laden as it is with parti-
Giles of salt, gives rise to a painful
thirst, and the only available drinking
water comes from a single well. 1t is
warm and i'll tasting.
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field In the day-
time, sky pictures of magnificent cities
and flower dotted, tree shaded fields.
The moonlight too, produces won
drously beautiful effects upon the
great field of cleaning salt For sew
eral weeks in the year the thermome-
ter on the salt field averages 40 de-
grees, and the reflection of the sun
produces a glare like that from a fur
mace. The deposits vary In thickness
from ten to twenty inches and form
a solid crust over the great marsh. II
Is estimated that about 700 tons are
now plowed up daily.-New York Trib-
