ETERNITY or MATTER.
Simon Newcomb.

II Is a fundamental principle OF the
theory OF evolution. as developed by It's
greatest contemporary expounder, that
matter itself is eternal, and that all
the changes which have taken place In
the universe, so far as made up OF
matter, are In the nature OF trans
formations OF this eternal substance.
But we doubt whether any physlcal
philosopher OF the present day would
be satisfied TO accept any demonstra-
ton of the eternity of matter. All he
would admit Is that. so far as his OBJ
servatlon goes, no change In the guam
tity of matter can be produced by the
action OF any cause whatever II seems
to be equally uncreatable and inde-
structlble. But he would, at the same
time, admit that his experience no
more sufllced to settle the question than
the observation Of an animal for SIN
gle day would settle the question OF
the duration OF its life, or prove that II
had neither beginning nor end.

Episode of kenesaw.

That confusion of horses at Kene-

reminds me of controversy over
horses at the battle of Franklin. Gen.
rat Cleburne and Gen. John Adams
OF the Confederate army were both
killed at Franklin at the head of their
commands and close to the Union
breastworks. One of them was killed
on top of the works, just as his horse
had plunged half over. Man and
horse were shot there, and the body
of the horse remained on top of the
works, with fore feet extended to the
Union side. 1t was said at the time
that the officer killed on top of the
works was Gen. Cleburne, and there
was among our own men a dispute as
to this
1T was known that Gen. John Adj
ans of Lorings division rode a bay
horse and that Cleburns did not. The
horse killed on top of the works in
front OF the Sixty-fifth Illinois was n
bay, and Gen. Adams body was found
at the base of the works. just below
the horse. Cleburne's body was found
fifty or sixty yards from the works
Adams, according to the story of men
of the Sixtyf fifth Illinois, rode his
horse over the ditch and to the ton

er. At that instant he was shot"
