On almost any Saturday or court
day there can be seen on the streets
Of Wytheville, says the Wytheviile
correspondent OF the Richmond Times
Dispatch, two farmers. simple and re-
firing in their tastes and habits, who
were called upon to undergo as try
ing an ordeal during the war between
the States as any soldier on either
side Of that memorable struggle.
The old Confeds are Joseph Head
rick. a farmer who lives on and owns
a comfortable country estate lying on
the waters Of Stony Fork. nine miles
west Of Wytheville, and jackson
Grub. likewise the possessor Of a
goodly country home a few miles
south Of town.
They. like thousands Of other young
mountaineers OF southwest Virginia
answered promptly to virginia's call
for volunteers in 81 and later became
members of the Sixty-thlrd Virginia
regiment. which was afterward assign
ed to and became part Of Gen.
Palmer's brigade in Gen. Hoods army.
and while IN that command they were
captured by some Of Gen. w. T. sher-
mans men at Midway Station, nine
miles west Of Branchville. in South
Carolina That was on the 9TH day OF
February. 1865.
Some days after their capture a
Federal sLfdier was found de-d in the
swamps not far from Orangeburg in
that state. There were marks upon
his person which indicated that he
had ben beaten to death wlih clubs.
A hasty conference Of the Federal
officers was held and they determined
upon retaliation. SO 100 Of the 400
Confederate prisoners in their charge
we're marched out and Joseph Head
rick and Jackson Grub we're with
them.
Three Federal officers accompanied
them, ard without any explanation

the relief Of Knoxville drifted back
toward supplies at Chattanooga. but
Sheridan's division and Others re
mained to watch Longstreet
In our division (Sheridan's), there
was much suffering, but officers and
men were resourceful and disposed
to make the best Of a situation. When
it was decided to start the abandoned
grist mills, hundreds of men were
sent into the fields to gather corn, and
the mills were kept going steadily

enemy in that direction. but no one
expected a fght.
AS the regiment moved forward ia
line the lieutenant Of one Of the com
panies took a memorandum book from
one pocket and his watch from an
other. and. handing them to the cap
tain asked him, in case he was killed.
TO send them to his father. The cap

not going into fight This is all
sham, and there is no danger and
returned the book and watch. The
lieutenant ran across to the captain
and again insisted he should take The
book. saying that he had a feeling
tkat he was to be killed. The captain
took the book, and in FIVE minutes
the lieutenant fell dead from one Of
the few shots fired by the fleeing
rebel pickets Chicago Intor Ocean.

CAUGHT FISH WORTH $500.

Fifth Known Specimen Of saIIfisf
Taken OF Florida Coast.
The luckiest Cincinnati fisherman
this year is Mr.. Edward Hart, who
last week caught a large "sailfsh.
few miles at sea, of Miami. Fla.
This fish is one Of the rarest knowr
to science. Previous to the one caughi
BY Mr.. Hart there have been but foui
others captured: three Of them are II
European museums and one at the
Smithsonian institution.
The one caught by the Cincinnatiar
weighs seVenty-fye pounds and is {
perfect specimen Of his kind.
These sailfish are peculiarly. con
structed. On their backs is a sort o.
a pocket from which they can put NJ
a ibrous oval fin. which forms sal
for the fish when moving at the sur
face Of the ocean. When the wind is
blowing strong these fish can travel
at a rapid rate when their sail is set
On the under part Of the fish IS E
strong fin, which they can draw entire
" into the body as they sail.
The long sword protruding from the
fish's head makes Of this tribe a for.
midable enemy to the other fishes
They are found only along the Flor
ida coast.
a few days after Mr.. Hart caught
his specimen, he saw two or three
others sailing on top Of the water anu
going at rapid Cincinnati En-
cuirer.

Product Of ceyIon Deserves Its So

The umbrella tree IS found in Cey-
ion IN greater profusion than any
where else in the world. AS matter
Of scientific fact these trees grow to
their greatest height and attain to
their greatest size in very wet, rainy
countries. This growth is due to the
fact that the tree requires a great deal
of moisture. and not because it is
needed to keep off the rain. A re-
markably fine specimen Of the UNI
hrella tree is shown herewith. AS a
matter Of fact, this tree forms SO com
plete an umbrella that a number Of
people might take shelter under its
spreading branches from the rain. The
foliage is, besides. as a rule. 50 thick
that the umbrella tree serves to keep
on the rain ahuost perfectly even in
a heavy shower.-New York Herald.

The existence Of the rays discoy-
cred by Blondlot, Of Paris, and named
by him "n-rays," about which much
has been written lately, is seriously
Questioned by an eminent Germaii
physicist who thinks NJ Blondlot has
suffered from optical Illusions, owing
10 the fact that in manipulating the
screens the experimenter turns aside
and this causes an apparent Increase
in the light on the test object, John
Butler Burke, who IS one Of the wide
ly known English observers who has
been unable to produce those rays,
says: II am at loss to find any
other explanation OF NJ. Blondlot's re-
suits than that he has come across
radiation to which some men are
blind. selfhypnotism, due to fatigue
of the optic nerve, may account for
the results Of one observer alone"
The fact that NJ Blondlot has, in in
struments Of precision. measured the
wave length Of these rays would seem
70 be conclusive evidence OF their ex-
istence. And, too, Carpenter has.
BY passing these rays through the
brain. produced perception Of light
