BATTLE OF EZRA CHURCH.
The Story of an Interesting Engage
ment Fought by the Army
of the Tennessee.

In the new alignment of the Army
of the Tennessee, Dodge, with the Six
teenth corps, was Immediately west
of Proctor's creek. Beyond him on
the southwest, with his right at Ezra
chapel, was Blair's corps-the Seven
tenth. Ezra chapel was on the Lick
skillet road, leading into Atlanta. On
Blair's right, and still further to the
southwest, was Logan's corps. The
three corps formed a crescent about
Ezra church. July % they began
throwing up breastworks and digging
trenches at once. 1t was work both
armies were now well used to.
The Army of the Tennessee finished
their defensive works none too soon,
says the American Tribune. During the
forenoon already heavy firing was heard
on their front.
Hood was attempting another sortie,
the second from his works at Atlanta,
AT noon a great force of confederates
was seen approaching rapidly from At
lanta along the Lickskillet road. This
was the attacking army. 1t was Hoods
own old corps, now under command OF
Gen. S. D. Lee, who had relieved
Cheatham.
The attack fell on Howards right
and on Logans corps. The battle of
Ezra church was fought on the union
side by the Army of the Tennessee alone,
and by Logan's corps of that army.
Hoods manner of fighting was once
more illustrated at Ezra church. AS
sault after assault was made against
Logan, fierce and fast, but he was not
shaken. OF one of the confederate
charges the author of the History Of
the Fifteenth Iowa Regiment writes:
"A gallant and handsome general, a
magnificent horseman, mounted on a
large, fiery, dappled gray horse, which
made him conspicuous, led them with
drawn saber, who we learned, was
Gen. e. G. Walthall, of Grenada, Miss,
very distinguished lawyer, later United
States senator from that state Three
times he led that grand veteran col
umn, as it were, into the jaws Of death,
to charge upon our works, and three
times they were repulsed. 1t seemed as
if half the army were firing at the gen.
eral. took seven shots at him myself,
as fast as a musket could be loaded for
me. 1t is not strange that did not hit
him, but / have often wondered how
he escaped, as learn he and his horse
also did, unhurt, with all those sharp
shooter after his scalp"
The battle lasted four hours; then
it ended as that east of Atlanta, July
%, had done. The confederates re-
tired, with great loss, to their intrench-
ments at Atlanta. Hood made no more
sorties. At Ezra chapel he lost 4,642

A postscript to the came letter gives
the stirring news which reached New
Orleans while the writer was depicting
the pleasures of life there, and shows
his sharp summons to the field.
"Col. Cowles, of the One Hundred and
Twenty-eighth New York, was killed
yesterday at Port Hudson; also Col.
Chaplin, of the One Hundred and Six

This was probably the last letter that
this officer wrote home. Two weeks had
passed after we reached our lines around
Port Hudson, and then came the terri

the way saw poor T once more. He
lay on the ground breathing his last, but

not speak. He was shot through the
breast, and lived but few minutes His

There could have been no sharper,
more painful contrast than that be-

ed by his letter and that offered by his
own death very soon among thousands

FOR ENGLISH CONSUMPTION
Kind of Stories Related About Amer
lea at Some Of the London
Luncheons.

At recent dinner In London the con-
yersation turned on the subject of lynch
ings in the United States. 1t was the
general opinion that n rope was the chief
end of man in America Finally, relates
Modern Society, the hostess turned to an
American, who had taken no part in the
conversation, and said:
You, sir, must often have seen these
affairs"
Yes" he replied, eve take a kind of
municipal pride in seeing which city can
show the greatest number of lynchings
yearly"
"Oh, do tell us about lynching you
have seen yourself" broke in half q
dozen voices at once.
The night before l sailed for Eng
land" said the American, Il was giving
a dinner to party OF intimate friends,
when a colored waiter spilled a plate of
soup over the gown Of lady at an ad-
joining table, The gown was utterly
ruined, and the gentlemen of her party
at once seized the waiter, tied rope
around his neck and, at a signal from the
injured lady, swung him into the air"
"Horriblei" said the hostess, with g
shudder.
And did you actually SEQ this your
self?"
We'll, no." said the American, apologet-
ically. Just at that time / was down
stairs killing the chef for putting mustard
in the blancmangs."

SOLDIER "REMINISCENCES.
Incidents Which illustrate the Lights
and the Shadows Of Sol
diering.

l have lately been permitted to look
over and make extracts from number
of letters written to his home from
Louisiana, Al years ago, by comrade,
the captain of one of the companies of
the regiment with which served. The
pictures that he draws of the life led
by many of our soldiers in rich and fer
tile western Louisiana, as well as of
the pleasant situation of many who were
on duty or convalescent at New Orleans,
contrast sharply with the overpowering
fatigues and prodigal bloodshed of the
summer campaign of 1863 on the Missis-
sippi that followed. Sad indeed was the
contrast in the case of the writer. Be-
fore speaking of his fate l will make
some interesting extracts from his let
ters. Remembering the situations he
destribes for the information of his rela-
tives in far off Illinois, can say that he
does not color the facts in the least.
Writing from the st. Charles hotel,
New Orleans, under date of January 26,
1863 (having come to the city on some
temporary duty, he thus describes the

How to Dose a Hog.

Loop a rope One-half inch or Ave
eights inch on the upper jaw; tie the
other end of the rope to the post or
beam up six or eight feet; then you
have your own way. Put the medicine
in long-necked bottle and pour it in
the hogs mouth. He will do the rest.
The same method can be used to ring
hogs, as it enables one man to do two
mems work, and do it easily.-Midland

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, prominent New York doctor
told the 800 won en- present thathealthy
American women were SO rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do nothave
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifeSts itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-dow
feeling, painful or irregular menstrual
ton, leucorrhea, displacement of the
uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or
sleeplessness There is a tried and
true remedy for all these ailments.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has restored more American
women to health than all other reme-
dies in the world. 1t regulates,
strengthens and cures diseases of the
female organism as nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been curing
the worst forms of female COM
plants.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. G. Willadsen, of Manning
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-

and / cannot express my gratitude to you in
words. For two years spent lots OF money

hopes of ever being well again, but was

table Compound and three bottles have re,
stored me to perfect health. Had it not been
for you would have been in my grave
