General Bell was an active participant
in all the battles In which the army of
Tennessee was engaged and always with

fall of 1861. Among the pitched battles in
which he took part were Shiloh, Murfrees-
boro, Chickamauga, Pulaski, Perryville,
Richmond, Kentucky, Nashville and
Franklin, besides many other minor en-
gagements.
At the battle of Pulaski, Tenn, he was
wounded by shell. being struck in the
face, breast and arm at the same time,
being knocked off his horse. He shortly
recovered from his wounds and continued
with his command.
At the battle of Shiloh General Bells
horse was killed under him by a ball from
the first cannon fired by the Federais and
two more horses were killed under him
during the same engagement.
After the war General Bell returned TO
his home in Summer county. Tennessee,
and engaged in the cotton commission
business, having houses in Cincinnati,
New Orleans and Memphis, he doing the
travelling for the three houses principal

in this city when filling the position OF
receiver of the United States land office,
to which he was appointed by President

Complaining of Cougars.

4 party Of timberland dealers just in
from the mountains some twenty miles
out from Gate City report that cougars
are very numerous in that section. The
woods are literally full OF them, and they
are frequently seen during the day, and
also the ood-stained snow in many
places show where they have killed deer.
But the worst feature Of the brutes is
their habit, common to the feline races,
of caterwauling at night A pair OF these
animals growing and fighting in the back
yard OF ones camp all night is no joke.
The party was composed of eight men,
all accustomed to life in the woods, but
they say. were never so badly frightened
before In all their woodland experience
as they were during their last trip. Their
hair stood erect and the blood congealed
as the murderous cougars "ft and nj
and scratched and bit and struggled In
the mud, till all the ground for miles
around was covered with their blood.

Texans to Retire.

When the Fifty-eighth Congress assem-
bles at least two Of the members Of the
present delegation from Texas, which is
now one Of the strongest on the Demo-
cratic side, will be left in the Lone Star
State. notwithstanding the fact that Texas
in the last reapportionment gained three
additional Representatives. Representa-
tive Lanham. the senior member Of the
delegation, will remain at home to re-
ceive the honor Of becoming the next
Governor of the State. Hence he will
not be a candidate for Congress. Either
Representative Kleberg or Representative
Burgess will not answer the roll call in
the next Congress. The Legislature, in
creating three new districts. was forced
to place both Mr.. Kleberg and Mr.. Bur-
CESS in the same district. The former is
serving his third term and the latter his
first. Both are native Texans, and in good
standing with their constituents, who
must choose between them. Mr.. Burgess
recently made very strong impression
upon the members of the House by his
eloquent defence of the right of Judge
Rhea to the seat from the Third Ken
tucky district, and proved himself very
able and logical debater. Mr.. Kleberg is
a hard worker, but he is not an orator.

The Little Minstrel in the Street.

His hands are soiied, his throat is bare,
His face is streaked with dirt, and thin
And many slip is In the air
He plays upon his violin:
A sadness dwells within his eyes.
The shoes are ragged on his feet,
And scoffers stop to criticize
The little minstrel in the street.
There by the curb he plays away,
Where flakes float past and winds blow
chill,
And maybe, as the critics say,
He lacks the tutored artists skill
But now and then little strain,
Played faultlessly and soft and sweet,
Floats up from where he stands out
there

Say, ragged little minstrel, why
Must people listen but to hear

And faultless notes as oft as he

Creatures Of the Desert.

There are cold deserts and hot deserts
but it is in the latter that the presence
and continuance of animal life are the
more remarkable. There are almost no
places however hot the sun waterless
the sand. where some life does not exist,
often of an unexpected kind. The Afghan
Delimitation Commission found. that
horrible sandy desert which had to be
crossed to reach the boundary swarmed
with large snakes, and the waterless
plains OF Arizona abound in reptiles and
insects.
Probably the least known desert in the
world is the Great Sahara, because the
oases In its centre are occupied by intense
IL hostile and warlike tribes. whose hatred
of the French is kind of celirium But
on its Icrtbern fringe two animals are
found which seem specially adapted ior lie
in this forbidden land. They are the ad-
dax antelope and Loder's gazelle. The
addax is an ugly. awkward looking ami
NAL with spiral horn. and very wide
spread hoofs, which enable 1t to 20 at
great pace over the sand Pliny knew OF
its exist. nee, and was naturally interested
In il. for as South Africa was as yet un-
visited, this was one of the few species OF
antelope known TO the ancients. II was
not rediscovered till Ruppell found II
near Dongola As 1t is rather large an
telo3e. it requires considerable amount
of food, and the dificul,y which suggested
itself was to discover where it found this
food.
II Is now fairly certain that the addax
follows the rains which fall at certain
seasons, and probably travels vast dis
tances in the wake Of the seasonal storms.
Tho immcnsc area of desert in northern
Africa makes this possible. though with
out special knowledge OF the meteorology
of that part OF the continent it would be
unsafe TO assert that there is always rain
going on in some part Of the desert fringe.
How the addax supports itself in these ABB
soIutely dry intervals is not known. Ga
zelles are mainly desert animals. but Lo-
der's gazelle seems to have rather more
than the family leaning toward the lands
of thirst and sand. Another gazelle differ

o. edge Of the desert; but this creature

was organized that any trustworthy It'd
ings were obtained Of 1t.

place not absolutely waterless. for there
was a well, the sides OF which were made
of woven halfa grass, somewhere In the
neighboil ood; but this water quite
