grown-up and correct. She uses the
longest words she can find in the die

despair of her sensible mother as
long as the spell lasts. One dear old
lady in our neighborhood calls it
putin on STYLE" and that seems to
be the idea the girls have until they
learn it is a very foolish style.
"Now, Mary Catherine. YOU aust

daughter lectures the silly maid.

young ladies realized once for all

an evidence of culture to use words
of five syllables unless absolutely

the best authors one cannot help re-

on this resolution Mr.. Cochran made his
first speech since returning to Congress as

OF the House through yielding to the in

OF its prerogatives by the Executive. He
declared the House was not the great de-
Lucrative body the Constitution meant it
should be, and appealed to members on both
sides to take a firm stand for the purpose
of bringing back to the House its wonted
prestige. Mr.. Cochran sought to avoid Civ

mitted that il the invasion Of the House 8

day our boys had their eyes fixed on the
big Newfoundland dog that had followed
the 36th from Pea Ridge, and that night

Murfreesboro we encountered the rebel
pickets, and soon got them on the run. 1
do not think they received any reinforce
ment until the southern mouth Of the gap
was reached, as we charged them all the
miles long. and then charged them out of
their camp, on the rise on which Beech
Grove Cemetery is. We had come to a
halt when one of Wilder's orderlies rode
up to Col Kirk and giving Wilder's COM
pliments said the Colonel wished him to
ask where he was going. He replied:
'Tell Col. Wilder, If don't meet any
more opposition than have met, am
going to Tullahoma." The orderly re-

any hot coffee. Soon the enemy scame.
Comrade Batterall. Of Co. III, was wound
ed so that two of his comrades had to hold
him on his horse to bring him back. He
recovered. We soon observed the rebels
preparing to charge our position in the
cemetery, and Serg't Anderson brought
one of our mountain howitzers to bear on
them and blasted that charge in the bud
with charge of canister.
They opened on us with artillery with
pretty accurate range, the third shell
exploding over Co. ID, mortally wounding
Serg't w. b. Pike. of Co. ID, and cutting
off both legs of another man who be-
longed with the howitzer gun. The 18th
Ind. Battery got the range so quickly that
no more shells came from that position;
but the rebel sharpshooters played rather
intentionally on us until some of our
boys got into suitable position to recipro-
cate and that put quietus on them; not,
however. before they gave Dan Long a
bullet in the elbow that caused the loss OF
his arm.

He defended the course of the Postmaster
General in connection with the irregulari-
