Not a single Confederate army COM
mander is living at the present time,
and only two Union army commanders
survive. They are Lieut.. Gen. John
M. Schofield, Z. S. A. Getired), who
commanded the Army of the Ohio, and
Maj. Gen. Oliver o. Howard U. S. A.
(letired), who commanded the Army
OF Tennessee. Both were previously
corps commanders, and of their asso-
ciates only three survive They are
Maj. Gen. Granville NJ. Dodge of the
sixteenth Corps, Maj Gen. D. E. Sick
les of the Third Corps and Maj. Cen
]. H. Wilson of the Western Cavalry
Corps. OF the leading Confederate
generals living we have Gordon, Long
street, Wheeler, Stephen D. Lee, Stew
art and Buckner. Alas! what a rem
nant, weak and small" is this of the
once large and brilliant array of great
military commanders-Grant and Lee,
Sherman and Johnston, Sheridan and
Stuart, Jackson and Meade, Thomas
and Hood, Mcclellan and Beauregard,
and host of other gallant heroes who
have crossed over the river.
The announcement of the marriage
of Second Lieutenant Chas. Noble
Hayden, of the Seventh United States
Cavalry at Chickamauga Park, is
somewhat misleading. as his name is
Ralph, and not Charles. The bride is
Miss Frances johnson of Atlanta, and
the marriage was a Swell affair" at
st. Marks Methodist Church on Peach
tree street, last Thursday night. The
groom is New Yorker and a graduate
of West Point. There seems to he an
epidemic of army marriages, mostly
confined to young lieutenants. = =
The newspaper item that says Gen.
Joe Wheeler is Eat present a major
general of the United States Army, re-
tired" is misleading. Early in the
Spanish American War he and Fitz
Lee were appointed major generals of
volunteers, but later on dropped to
brigadier generals, and still later on
promoted to that rank in the regular
army and retired. = ! am indebted

upon the retired list full of honors that

rank of major general is the highest i'll

tenant general having passed into dis

Commanding General is what passed
into disuse. but not the rank and title
of lieutenant general, which attaches

ton, with Gems. Schofield and Miles.

ten I'm llS5, seven years before Colum
bus discovered America and i'm ever,
particular, excepting the predicted
end of the world, 1t has come to pass
1t runs this way:
Carriages without horses shall go
And accidents fill the world with woe
Around the world thoughts will fly
In the twinkling of an eve.
Water shall more wonders do
Now strange; yet shall be true:
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills man shall ride
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk,
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green,
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat
Gold shall be found init stones
In a land that's not unknown.
Fire and water shall wonders do;
England shall at last admit a jew,
And this world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
