An Artistic Joker.

The ne%rye-racking experience of a
Springfield man in New York city on
the night OF the Fourth IA worth re-
lating. He saw a man In the street
bearing a cannon cracker as tall as
his knee, and Of proportionate girth.
He saw the man stop in the roadway
and begin preparations for lighting
this enormous explosive. The opera
tor wildly waved for the a r to stop
and for pedestrians to keep back.
There was respect for the warning,
Street traffic was stayed, and impa-
tent and nervous and indignant peo-
pie bdsan to say emphatic things
about the recklessness of the pending
explosion. But the celebrator nothing

w. ARLY in October, 1863, two
81 brisk skirmishes in Tennessee
to the north of Chattanooga
broke the grewsome quiet
which rested over that region after the
carnage at Chickamauga Sept. ~ ana
20. Rosecrans. the defeated command
er at Chickamauga, reorganlzed MS
broken army at Chattanooga. His OPP
ponent, Bragg. established his line on
Missionary ridge and Lookout noun
tain TO hold the Federals in the town.
Before the battle at Chickamauga a
second Federal army, under General
Burnside, had marched down the val
lev of the Tennessee from Knoxville 10
ioin forces with RoSecrans. Together
Rosecrans and Burnside expected to
drive Bragg into the interior OF Geor-
gia or destroy his army completely, but
Bragg turned the tables on ROsecrans
at Chickamauga and upset all MS
plans. East Tennessee, in his rear
was alive with Confederate detach-
ments which found convenient hiding
in the mountains on both sides OF the
valley. With a powerful ally like
Bragg at hand to fall back upon in case
of need, these troops were menace 10
both Rosecrans and Burnside. More
than that, Bragg sent General Long
street with $4,000 men to march around
CHATTANOOGA to the rear of Rosecrans'
camp and push forward up the valley
of the Tennessee to attack knoxville.
The two movements, Burnside's ap-
proach to Rosecrans and LongStreets
counterstroke against Knoxville, gave
rise to singular campaign outside the
beaten track of war.
Burnside and Longstreet were both
new to the western fields. They had
last confronted each other in Virginia
the previous winter. Longstreet re-
manned with Lee on the Potomac line
until after Gettysburg. and when he
started south to unite his troops with
Bragg's for the struggle around Chat
tanooga Burnside had seized Knoxville
and closed to the Confederates the
great highway between Virginia and
Georgia.
Burnsides army in east Tennessee
was a new creation. He had been re-
lieved from the command Of the Army
of the Potomac in January, 1858, and
placed in command Of the department
Of Ohio. Troops that had fought with
him in North Carolina and Virginia,
