:'So1ae time ago. said the colonel,
in the Chicago Inter Ocean, there was
story told of an officer who rode his
horse up the slope of the confederate

it came to me in strange way. Last
September the survivors of Col. Dan
McCook's brigade, which led the as

the ground they fought over in 1864.
Previous to that members of the
brigade had purchased the ground

memory of Col. Dan McCook and 9TH

They invited, through the Nashville

crates who were in their immediate
front June 81, 1854, to mark with mon-
uments the positions occupied by the
men who defended the works and to
give any incidents of the battle seen
from their side which would shed light
on the engagement. In answer to this

Much depends on Maj Eakin's posi-
ton and it's relations to Mitchell's po-
sition, who was to the right of Nc
Cook If the officer seen by Maj. Eakin
belonged to Mitchell's brigade the
question is still, Who was he?
wv. ]. Whitthorn, of the First Ten
nessee regiment (Maney's brigade,
Cheatham's division), says his rcgi-
ment held the confederate breastWOrks
at the dead angle against the ASA lit
from beginning to finish. In a letter
testifying to the desperate bravery OF
those who made the charge, he stated
that two union flags were planted on
the confederate breastworks, one IN
front OF his company, and that both
were, captured, three men being killed
in the struggle to seize the flags. Maj.
Eakin also speaks of union flag
planted on the breastworks to his
right Now the only flag that 1 saw
on the rebel breastworks that day was
that of the Fifty-second Ohio, and
that was not captured. Who carried
the flags that Mr.. Whitthorn says we're
captured in his front?''
In regard to Col. Harker," said the
captain, my recollection is that on the
9th of June, 1864, he rode a white
horse. Therefore the officer riding a
dark chestnut seen by Maj. Eakin
could not have been Col. Charles G..
Harker, commanding the brigade TO
McCook's left. Col. Harker was on
horseback at point between the creek
and the confederate works when he
was wounded. I do not believe the
officer described by Eakin came from
Mitchelps brigade. I saw Col. John e..
Mitchell commanding the brigade on
foot, and think other field officers
had followed McCook's- example and
had sent their horses back. l know
that 10 Swan, of Company G, Fifty
second Ohio, took back the horses of
Col. Holmes, and that with him were
men leading the horses of McCook and
others. Several of the boys remember
that the body of a chestnut sorrel horse
lay near our line: But this does not
answer Maj. Eakin's question"

ALUM, FLINT AND
SULPHURIC ACID.

It 10 reported that In many localities
houses are infested by peddlers trying
to sell or introduce so-called cheap"
or low-priced baking powders, either
directly or by an order upon grocer.
In most instances deception is used,
and it is claimed that the article is Q
genuine baking powder and has all the
merits Of pure article. ~ -.
Housekeepers should be on their
guard against this danger to their food.
Alum powders are almost always low
priced. But they are well known to be
detrimental to health. In England and
in so1ae sections Of this country their
sale is prohibited by law. Congress
has forbidden the sale Of food contain
ing alum in the District of Columbia.
The highest authorities condemn their
use. DR.. S. w. Johnson, for instance,
Professor of Chemistry at Yale Col
lege, says: BREAD made with a bak-
ing powder containing alum must
yield q soluble alumina salt with the
gastric juice, and must, therefore, act
as poison"
It is well known that these so-called
cheap" goods are made from alum OF
the very cheapest materials. One OF
them was recently analysed at Yale
College and found to be one-Quarte1
sharp pointed grains Of ground flint
Others are filed with sulphuric acid
and salts Of lead are also found in
them.
In baking powders be sure to get q
reputable well-known cream Of tartar
brand. and never buy from peddlers.

The Civil War and Crime.

Among the influences which have
powerfully affected the primary causes
Of crime and are sources of this pres
ent epidemic is the effect of the civil
war. Though the transcription into
the body polite of so many discharged
soldiers without a great and sudden
change in the morale of the people was
most remarkable, and creditable alike
to the institutions and spirit of the
country and to large majority of the
soldiers, it is still true that the evil
done by that war to public and private
morality was almost irremediable.-

Tennessee, was sent the proceedings
of the reunion of Col. Dan McCook's
brigade at Chicago in 1900.
AFTER reading the recollections of
the men on the union side and study
ing the maps made by union officers,
marking positions and the spot where
McCook fell, Maj. Eakin wrote, recall
ing many things that the men of Nc
Cooks brigade had forgotten. Among
these was the story of an officer on
horseback who rode dark chestnut
horse to within ten steps of the con-
federate breastworks, where his horse
was shot. Maj. Eakin and his men
watched this officer closely as he rail-
lied his men after the first repuise
and led them in a second charge, and
have always believed that he was Col.
Dan McCook.
Noticing, however, that Col. Nc
Cook was shot at different point in
the line, and that not one of the
brigade at the reunion in 1900 men
toned such an officer, MAJ Eakin
asks, it the gallant fellow was not

boys of the Fifty-second Ohio know
that Col. Dan McCook was on foot dur
ing the charge, and that he was shot
at the top of the confederate breast
works. 1t is certain that the officer
was not McCook, and no one of our
regiment seems to have seen any off,
Ger at the point where Maj Eakin saw
his man.
Maj. Eakin's letter, however, set
the boys to thinking, and s. w. Rilea,
of the Eighty-sixth Illinois, remem-
bers that after our brigade had fallen
back q steps an officer on horseback
passed from the right to the left just
in the rear of our position. The men
were busy throwing up rifle breast
works, and few noticed him. In q few
minutes man came from the left and
rear with a buckskin gauntlet, on the
cuff of which was written in ink The
name of Col. Charles G. Harker, who,
he reported, had been killed. The
