courageous, and a rotary engine in the

to see Billy Kavanaugh governor of
Arkansas one of these days and does
not care how soon that event may

of the best equipped young men in the

addition he has the fine quality of

Mark TWain's "Enuine"

Captain Thomas Bixby, under whom
Samuel l.. Clemens-Mark Twain
served as pilot and engineer on the
old Mississippi river boat Swallow
has given in New Orleans paper the
following description of the engine Of
the Swallow:
'The craft vas a little shaky af.
fair, which piled between St. Louis
and Cairo. 1t had stern wheel, a
place for freight and passengers, a
pilot house and place on what may
be called the pilot deck for the en-.
gine.
That engine went aboard when II
was needed, and only then 1t burned
no wood or COAL but ate powerful
sight of grass. 1t was large gray
mule named Jerry, which worked d
treadmill that propelled the boat
Samuel Clemens was chief engineer
and pilot.
He had system of signals which
was effective and ingenious. BY pull
ing cord he could raise a head OF
cabbage just out of reach of the mule
The engine would start and begin to
| walk after it, and the boat floated ma.
jestically down or up the river, as the
case might be.
Without desiring to be personal,
will say that Jerry was one of the
most intelligent animals | ever met
His voice was more on the order of a
fog horn than a whistle. being too
much of barytone for the latter
When Samuel wanted to whistle for
landing he just hit Jerry with a
stick. -Yo Youth's Companion

ston saw the desperate situation and
said: ''They are making a stubborn
fight here. I shall have to put the bay
onet to them" Several regiments
charged into the field, but recoiled I'M
der the fire. One Of Rreckinridge's
Tennessee regiments halted at the
edge of the field and refused to go in.
Breckenridge and Governor Harris OF
Tennessee, who was present, appealed
in vain. Johnston then. rode out on his
magnificent thoroughbred charger Fire
Eater, spoke a few words Of encourage
ment to the hating Tennesseeans and
said, 81 will lead you" At this signal
two whole brigades rushed across the
field shouting wildly as they met the
storm of lead from the crest. The
charge went home; the enemy urned
and retreated. One OF the straying
bullets fired in retreat struck John
ston, and in :sl hour he was dead. But
the hill, the Hornets Nest" had fall
en-. Prentiss was cut off from help;
likewise part of Wallace's line.
The C~onfederates say that the stub
born fighting Of Prentiss after he had
been fanked by the loss Of the "Hor-
nets Nest" saved Grants army. There
was a lull in the attack after Johnston
fell, and General Bragg reopened the
fight by falling upon Prentiss and Wal
lace with his Confederate corps. These
two generals fought until the case
seemed hopeless, and then Wallace led
his men back in an attempt to cut his
way to the Landing. He was killed,
and Prentiss, finding himself alone
and hopelessly beset, surrendered his
whole command. General Bragg with
drew two divisions from the confusion
of the capture OF Prentiss and rushed
them in pursuit of HurlburtS retreat
ing troops. But one of Grants staff
officers had planted a row Of batteries
on the hill covering the Landing, and
Hurlburt made a stand behind these.
defenses. Some of the COnfederateS
halted before closing in, and only n
or two brigades really exchanged shots
with the new enemy. AT this time the
two gunboats-LeXington and Tyler
at the Landing opened fire on the dar-
ing Confederates, and Nelson's divi-
sion of Buell's army marched down
the slope, pouring in fresh volleys up
on the exhausted fighters of the day.
1t was the failure of this last attack
upon the Landing that the enemy and
some others called the salvation Of
Grants army.
Shiloh has been fought over again
and again in print. General Beaure-
gard, second in command to Johnston,
says that he advised his chief to go
back to Corinth and not attack at all
after his failure to surprise Grant on
Saturday, as he had planned.

R N the Confederate bivouacs all was
in readiness to spring the attack
A upon Grants advanced line at
Shiloh church early on the morn
ing Of Sunday, April 6, 1862. General
Albert Sidney Johnston, the Confeder-
ate leader, was at breakfast at 5 o'clock
and, hearing the sound of picket firing
on his front, ordered the battle to be-
gin. The onslaught was made furious
ly at Shiloh church, where General w.
T. Sherman's Federal division lay in
tents. Sherman's division was at the
extreme front of Grants army. Nc
Clernand's division lay nearest to
Sherman's in the real Of 1t and to the
left. Prentiss'> division lay also to the
left of Sherman, but the Confederate
advance was so directed that Prentiss
soon stood at the front, receiving the
full force of the attack.
The early morning picket fight had
aroused some of the vigilant officers in
Sherman's and Prentiss' camp, but the
troops were everywhere taken at a dis
advantage by the sudden attack. D1-
visions and brigades were whirled into
action from time to time without con-
nectiOn with each other. The Confed-
crate advance was furious and appar-
emily with little regard for the loss Of
life so long as the enemy was driven
from his camps and pushed back to-
ward Pittsburg Landing, on Tennessee
river. Johnston's aim was to drive
Grant into the river before help could
reach him from BuelTs army, which
was marching to the field from the
east side of the Tennessee.
Grant was nine miles distant from
Pittsburg Landing when the battle be-
