gan. The day before General Nelson
reached Grants headquarters at sa-
yannah with a division Of Buells
troops, and Grant sent him forward to-
ward the front. Nelson says that Grant
told him there would be no battle at
that point. Grant intended to await
BuelI's arrival in person at Savannah,
but when the firing became heavy at
Shiloh he hurried to the field. On the
way to the front Grant ordered Gener-
al Lew Wallace, whose division was
at Crump's Landing, below Pittsburg
Landing, to march to the scene of the
fighting. Wallace had 5000 men, but
through a misconception Of orders by
some one he took a road which delayed
his arrival in time to take part in the
battle. With this loss Grant fought
that day against superior numbers.
Both sides used artillery at Shiloh
with murderous effect. The Federal
batteries moved down the charging
Confederates with terrible execution,
and when the Federal infantry made a
stand upon some ridge the southern
guns tore the ranks to pieces, making
way for the advance Of their own in
fantry.
Grants line was very irregular ow-
ing to the formation Of the ground and
the direction Of the Confederate at
tack. Sherman and McClernand were
closest. and McClernand helped Sher-
mans line hold on for a time. Prem
tiss fought almost alone at the start
and was driven from his camp about
9 o'clock a. m. Sherman was driven
from his about 10 o'clock, and McCler-
nand gave way at 2:30 p. m. At 4:3O
Hurlburt's Federal division lost it's adj
yanced camp, and at nightfall all that
remained in fighting trim of Grants
army was concentrated in the original
camps OF w. III. L. Wallace's division,
which was nearest to Pittsburg Lane
ing. The battlefield was in possession
Of the Confederates.
When the attack began, there was a
wide gap between Sherman and Prem
tiss. The retreat Of these two divi-
sions in the same general direction
drew the lines together. Later in the
day the retreat of Hurlburt left a gap
between the lines of McClernand and
Wallace, and the Confederates poured
through, capturing Prentiss and over
1000 of his command, also part of W.
Fl. L. Wallace's division. Wallace was
MORALLY wounded. Where the fight
ing was so irregular it is impossible to
describe it in detail. The conduct OF
some regiments, batteries and brigades
on both sides was heroic in the eX-
IRENE. Sherman's troops were new.
McClernand's and the divisions of both
Wallaces had been at Donelson. Many
Of the Confederates had never seen
fighting. Four events of the battle had

Expensive Fight Over a Cat.

A dispute as to the ownership of a
cat has reached the state circuit court
in Sioux Falls, S. d., and it promises
to become as noted as the celebrated
Iowa calf case, says an exchange.
Ole Finstad and wife claim to have
loaned the cat to Mrs. Lewis. a neigh
Dor, for the purpose of Kidding her
house of rats. Mrs. Lewis afterward
declined to return the animal, and the
claimant asserts that she had appro-
priated it to her own use, and was
holding it by force Of arms, contrary
to the statute. Finstad tried to regain
possession of the cat by force, and
Mrs. Lewis had him arrested for as
sault and battery. A justice imposed
a fine upon Finstad, but the defendant
refused to pay it. andappealed thecase
to the circuit court. Thus far $500 in
costs have been charged up to the
county in settling the ownership OF
the cat.
The cat is an ordinary one and would
not bring over so cents on the market.

important results. The destruction Of
Sherman's line was the first blow to
Grant. Upon that disasters followed
fast. Prentiss' division fought nearly
the whole day alone and was finally
captured about 4 o'clock. Next came
the stubborn battle at the Hornets
Nest" where General Albert Sidney
Johnston was killed. This was the
only instance in the war where an
army commander was killed in battle.
After Johnston's death a portion of his
command made a dash for Pittsburg
Landing, and Sunday at Shiloh was
closed.
Sherman's division appears to have
been completely disorganized in getting
back to a new position-that is to say,
the units did not fight together. Prem
tiss' division was driven from it's camp,
but Prentiss rallied the command reg1-
ment by regiment and formed a new
line. Grant ordered him to hold the
second line at all hazards, and he
fought till overwhelmed and captured.
Before Prentiss surrendered the hot
test fighting of the field was made by
his command and the divisions Of Hurl-
burt and w. FL. l.. Wallace, these three
divisions bearing the brunt Of the work
after Sherman and McClernand had
been driven back.
The key to the last position held by
Wallace and Hurlburt on the f1ank of
Prentiss was a thicket on the crest OF
a hill. In front was an open field swept
by Federal batteries. For five hours
the Confederates hurled brigade after
brigade upon the thicket, and all were
repulsed, with frightful carnage. At
last the reserves of Breckenridge were
called in to make a last attempt. John.

AllegOry.

When President Gompers was In
Boston he told a most amusing
story.
A boy one day was strolling down
the street with his hands in his peck
cts, whistling merrily, when he no.
ticed a dog of yellowish color and un-
certain breed sitting IN the curb.
Walking up behind the dog he gave it
a vigorous kick. The poor dog ran off
yelping, and the boy continued his
walk. AS the boy turned a corner he
met another dog-a different kind of
a dog-one of the kind whose lip hangs
down at one side and which is very
bow-legged. Did the boy kick that
dog? No, sir. He stopped whistline
and carefully walked around it, and
didn't feel safe until he was out of
sight.
And so it is with the union. If it is
strong no one will modest it.-Boston
Journal.
