GEN. JAMES LONGSTREET.

Longstreet was engaged in thir-
ty-two pitched battles known and
recorded in history, besides innum-
berable skirmishes, and he fought
through two wars. In the Mexi-
can war he took part in every bat
tie excepting that of Buena Vista.
He was severely wounded. the first
hurt being sustained at Chapulte-
pee, where a bullet passed through
his thigh. The second wound was
received at the battle OF the Wild
erness, when a ball pierced his
right breast. The effects of this
wound remained with him to his
death, partially disabling his right
arm.
He was great favOrite with
his men, and was known through
out the Confederate Army as ''Old
Pete" On many occasions it Is
recorded that general feeling ol
distrust and fear was dispelled 10y
the passing along the line 10 tho
men of the magic word: ''Old Pet,
is i'm the saddle"
James Longstreet was born il
Edgefeld district, South Carolina
January s, 1921. Ten years Iatel
he removed TO Alabama, and from
that state was appointed TO tn,

The specsroscope.

Originally the spectroscope was ap-
piled only to chemistry, and in that
limited field proved itself an invalu-
able aid in accurate analysis. BY hold
ing in Bunsen flame a platinum wire
moistened by contact with the skin the
presence of few grains of salt swal-
lowed few minutes previously can be
detected with the spectroscope. In
deed 50 wonderfully refined Is the
work OF the spectroscope chemist that
he can discover in substance the pres
ence Of one three-miIlionth of a grain
Of metal.

Poisonou. and HARMLESS snake

Hoi>chons aho hNFmicsN snakes.
There is a certain physiological diff
ference between the poisonous and
harmless snakes which exists very
plainly in their manner OF dcntition.
All snakes are objects OF aversion and
dread 20 mankind. so much SO that TO
be bitten 10y a snake has at times been
so fearful TO the victim as to have pro
duced death although the snake was
harmless Such is the instructive dread
with which these reptiles are thought
OF that II may be desirable TO have
some easy mode Of distinguishing the
one kind from the other. This distln-
gushing characteristic is afforded by
the teeth. In all poisonous snakes
there are only two rows OF teeth, thu
fang or fangs being arranged either
within the two rows or outside Of them.
The harmless snakes have four distinct
rows OF teeth, and when the bite shows
this kind Of wound and not any single
deeper or larger puncture there need
be no apprehension.

READING IN BED.
A Custom THAT Has been Followed
by Many Writers.

by Many Writers.
Johnson told Boswell once in the
course of conversation, in which he
praised the Anatomy that man, if
inclined TO melancholy. should have
lamp constantly burr r~ in his bed
chamber during the MI. and If wake
fully disturbed take book and read
and compose himself 10 rest" There
can be little doubt that in thus indi-
eating an appropriate course for any
one afflicted with constitutional mel
ancholy' - his own trouble - lac was
stating his own practice. Many n book
the wakeful doctor must have turned
over in the silences of the night, and
this increases the wonder that a desire
to read any particular work should
take him out OF bed unusually early.
Gray must surely have been a reader
In bed. a man who wished to be for
ever lying on sofas, reading eternal
new novels of Crebillon and Mari
vaux," must have been familiar with
the faces of his favorites in the night
hours. Elijah Fentoh, a now forgotten
coadjutor Of Pope, was accustomed to
lie abed at his lodgings, we are told,
and be fed with a spoon. but Gray's
love of ease was not of this type. Gray
was a bookman, and most bookmen
probably have INDUCED in the habit of
reading In bed. Lamb apostrophized
his folios as my midnight darlings,"
but those huge armfuIs," as he calls
them, were not bedside books. They
were the companions of the long hours
Of candlelight in the back room of the
quiet little "gambagish coIpredp house

ley, one of the artificial dramatists

Tense. made habit OF reading himself
to sleep. Nightly he shared his pillow
with his favorite authors-Seneca,
Montaigne and Rochefoucauld-and I'm
the mornings made n practice OF writ
ing on those subjects which had caught
his attention during the previous
nights reading. with the curious
though not unnatural result, as Pope
has testified, that his writing was I'M
consciously mere echo Of his reading.
Somewhat later. when Grub street

NaOt~t va iitc sly ~ vi OtutE>.
Gordon's unsupported asser-
tons would require no attention
but for one fact. Both South and
North there is a widespread inn
preston that Gordon was con-
spicuous figure at Gettysburg.
He was merely a brigade comman-
der there, stationed FIVE miles from
Longstreet- tits entirely improb-
able that he personally saw either
Lee or Longstreet, while the army
was in Pennsylvania. >
Mrs. Longstrcet takes up the
history of the Gettysburg battle in
detail, with especial comment on
official records and statements of
the Rev. DIR. Pendleton. at Lex
ington, in 1873. Concluding, she
says:
The following general conclu-
sions upon the state of facts dis
covered by Pendleton'S remark
able report ane therefore inevita-
BILE and unavoidable.
'First-At sunrise of the 2d,
General Lee himself did not know
where to attack. He did not know
as late as 10 or IL O'Clock. His
mind was not fully made up until
he came back from Ewell's front
about 9 O'Clock, according TO all
authorities), and had made the final
examination on the right. Gen
eral Longstreet says he received
his orders to move about IL o clock,
and this corresponds with Pendle-
tons report. But if anything it
was later, rather than earlier.
Second These painstaking,
time consuming "Reminiscences of
the commanding general and his
staff officers, the journey of Col
onel Venable to Ewell, three miles
to the left. and Lees later visit to
Ewell, together with the unavoid-
able absence of Genera Long
streets troops until late in the
morning, proved absolutely that
Lee issued no order for Longstreet
to attack at any specific hour on
July ,.
'Third-Longstreet's prelimi-
nary movements from start to finish
were under the personal supervis-
ion of Lees coniidentiaTstafT officer,
Pendleton, and the subordinate
staff officers. So Longstreet has
positively stated. so has General
McLaws, and both are confirmed
by Pendleton's report. The staff
guide caused a loss of three hours
by putting the head of McLaws'
column upon wrong road. This
compelled Longstreet To hasten
matters by assuming personal di-
rection of the movement, and
pushing Hoods division rapidly to
the front past McLaws.
"Fourth-Pendleton's official ut
: terances make it an established
fact that General Longstreet made
his tremendous and successful at
tack on July ,, at the earliest mo-
ment possible after receiving Lees
orders to advance. under the con-
ditions imposed by Lee, namely,
to be conducted to the point of at
tack by Pendleton himself and the
other staff officers.
The War Records expert was
fundamentally correct when he
Ideduced from Pendleton's report
that it alone entirely dissirates
each and every allegation that
lLongStreet tailed to obey any of
Lees orders on July ,.
This is the story, short enough
for the busy; clear and straight
enough for the young. 1t is the
story of sentiment as well as rev
erence and admiration, growing up
from childhood, of him who led

the mediation of General Lee that
the men did not meet in mortal
combat.
After the war General Long
street became a republican and
took up his residence in New Or
leans, where he engaged in bust
ness. General Grant, when Pres
ident. appointed Longstreet sur
veyor of customs of the port of
New Orleans, President Hayes
appointed him supervisor of inter-
nal revenue in Louisiana, post
master of New Orleans and United
States minister to Turkey and
President Garfield made him Uni
ted States marshall for the district
of Georgia.
There was much surprise in some
Quarters when Longstreet was
first appointed to federal Office
by General Grant.
Mr.. Frederick Dent, whose
daughter Julia, afterward became
the wife of Grant. was a kinsman
to Longstreet, and Grant first met
Julia when nc accompanied Long
street on visit to the Dent home
stead. Longstreet was married
six months before Grant and with
his wife was a guest at the Grant
wedding.
When the Fourth Regiment, to
which both Grant and Longstreet
were attached after graduation,
was ordered to Louisiana TO form
q part of the army for observation.
and when 3 formed part of the
army of occupation at Corpus

were still together and became fast
friends. During the Mexican war
they were separated and saw little
of each other for some years. In
