Unity and srotherhooa.

Since Gen. Eli Torrance, comman-
der-in-chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, issued his appeal to the
members of that organization for con-
tributions for the Confederate Veter-
ans Home at Mountain Creek, Ala, he
has received large number of let
ters on the subject from men who
wore the gray. A few of these letters
Indicate more or less plainly the sur
vival in the south of prejudices and
misunderstanding like those that
caused such terrible disasters in the
COS, but by far the greater part of
them breathe the new spirit of unity
and brotherhood. and pay appreciative
tribute to the motives which inspired
the action of Gen. Torrance. Among
a large number of these letters. is one
from Robert Chisholm. of birmingham,
Ala. which breathes the spirit of the
new south. 81 am" he writes, IAN old

MYsoPHoeIA THE LATEST.
What This Learned Term Means to
the Great Majority.

The medical profession has con-
ferred no small boom on many suffer-
ers by inventing Greek, or pseudo
Greek, term for their otherwise demo-
cratic complaints, says the London
Graphic. The last of these inventions
is recorded this week. The disease is
fussiness, and the medical name is
mysophobia. The mysophobe is he
who, when seated by his table, lifts
his glass to see II it is fingered. and
II he detects smudge uses his nap
.lin to dispose of it. In short. myso-
phobia is the exaggeration Of that re-
spect for cleanliness which convinced
Svengali of the madness Of English
men when he surprised the Laird in
his matutinal tub. The lady in the
play who seized on everyone's watch
chain and began rubbing 1t with cha
mois leather was a mysophobe, and
the irritating man who begs your
pardon and picks some microscopic
piece of fun from your sleeve is an
other. The servant who insists on
busting papers is another. and the dis
ease is widely prevalent among all
housekeepers in the spring. It is nice
to know at last what to call It, but the
medical press is more inclined to sug.
gsst scientific names than rerasdiss.

GLASS YOU CANNOT sREAl
May Be Nodded Into Any Form and
Used as Hammer,

Louis Kauffeld, a European glass
worker, makes extraordinary claims
for new kind of glass he has just dis
covered. 1t is glass of such nature
that will not break. that can be mold
ed into any desired form, that can be
hammered without catastrophe-in
short, glass that will be as mallea-
BILE as lead or any other metal. With
an ordinary goblet made Of his new
material he can hammer nail into a
tough board. He can bore hole in
a glass pane. and then patch it with
another piece of the same kind of
glass. Coffee pots and tea kettles can
be made of the new substance, and
will no more crack, even under the
most intense heat, than would steel.
While Kauffeld's process is, un-
known to anybody except himself he
recently volunteered the information
that the lime and lead that are used
in the manufacture of ordinary glass
do not enter into the composition of
this. "The secret lies." he said, Sin
the chemicals that are used in max.
ing this glass and the proportions In
which these chemicals are put into it."

Uniforms and Sentiment.

81 would like to see this new army
uniform" said an old soldier. "They
say we old fellows will not like it as
matter of sentiment, but that prac-
tical soldiers, putting aside sentiment,
favor it. Great Scott! AS If we were
not practical soldiers, who saw more
actual service in battle in four years
than all the civilized world has seen
since 1865. There is more than senti-
ment in this question of uniform, and
| believe this experiment will end, as
have others, in return to the SER
vice uniform so thoroughly tested
under all circumstances of battle and
conditions of weather during the civil
war.
"The blue uniform was no more con-
spicuous in maneuver, skirmish, or
battle than the Confederate gray or
butternut. AT distance the one
could not be distinguished from the
other At Shiloh, the rebels were
taken for our own men, and were al
most in our camps before the differ
ence in dress was noticed. At Stone
River, heavy masses of rebels came
out of cornfields or out of cedars and
we held our fire, believing them to
be our own men. In hundreds of
cases during the civil war mistakes
were made through failure to dis
tinguish uniforms, the butternut look
ing in the haze, or rain, or smoke, or
at a distance as dark as the blue"

think we should have done well as a

The question Of accepting the help
of the Grand Army in the construc-
ton of the Confederate veterans
home at Mountain Creek. Ala. is caus.
ing a serious disruption in the Con-
federate veterans associations in vari-
GUS parts of the south. In Louisiana
resolutions were adopted thanking the
northern veterans for their offer. but
saying that "the south was able to pro-
vide for its veterans and could not
accept assistance from Others" In
Alabama, however. the Confederates
are adopting resolutions of thanks to
the Grand Army and accepting the Of
fers Of help. Col. ]. N. Falkner. dis

that the offer Of Gen. Terrence to aid

col. Mccook,s Welcome.

"Col Dan McCook." said Sergt
Grimshaw, was little free in the use
of strong language, but wasn't hard
swearer, as army swearers went. On
the morning of Nov. 26, 1868. after the
capture of Missionary ridge, our divi-
sion was pushed out after the retreat
ing rebels. We struck them about sun
down, but they cut out after we had
given them two or three yolleys. We
camped for the night in line of battle,
but were not disturbed.
The next morning companies A
and B of the Fifty-second Ohio were
sent out as skirmishers under Capt.
Buckle. Soon we were lost in the high
underbrush of the wooded country in
front. We kept our formation and
kept moving and picked up more pris-
oners than we had men, but we could
not find brigade or regiment. Or
derlies and staff officers sent out from
brigade headquarters failed to find us
until we came into the open country
near Rocky Face ridge.
I'VE were then five or six miles
from our regiment and were escorted
to brigade headquarters by two staff
officers who had been hunting us all
day and who reported that Col. Dan
was in state of mind over our disap-
pearance. We expected a scoring. but
we marched up in good order with all
our prisoners in the line. We met
with a hearty reception, but l will al
ways remember Col Dams face, as he
said: God, boys, hardly expected to
see you again. thought the rebs
mad gobbled you sure. God, boys. but
am glad to see you come in all right
