RAILROAD WRECKlNG.
Hardest Work Which the Soldiers Had
to Do During War and Sometimes
It Counted for Little.

Tearing up railway" said the cap
the hardest work the soldiers of the civil
war were called upon to do. AT first we
thought that if we tore up a half-mile of
railroad track and threw the rails in
creek or river we were accomplishing
wonders. But later we learned this
didn't count The rebs would relay the
track in two hours after they had driven
us off. After such an experience we tore
up miles of track, built fires, heated the
rails red hot in the middle, and bent
them about trees. This settled the rail
question, but it was slow work, the fires
were so many signals to the enemy, and
about half our regiment was captured.
'Ir another case we did thoroughly
good job and destroyed a railroad by
cutting it at intervals of two or three
miles and burning the bridges. This
was not so funny when we were called
upon three months later to rebuild the
bridges and relay the track. The boys
came to the conclusion that there were
two sides to the railroading business.
Later in the war railroad raiding count
ed for less and less, because armies car
ried duplicates of railroad bridges and
materials for reconstructing tracks.
''In the Atlanta campaign Gen. Johns
ton, holding Kenesaw mountain, sent his
cavalry to Sherman's rear to cut the rail-
road They tore up some miles of track
and burned several bridges. Gen. Johns
ton was so much elated over the result
of the raid that he issued congratula-
tory order to his army, saying that the
railway had been cut and that Sherman
could not get single locomotive or
train through to his army. The order
had, scarcely been read when dozen
trains steamed into Shermans camp.
The railroad had been repaired as soon
as destroyed, and Sherman sent all the
locomotives to the picket line on his
front to whistle the news to Gen. Joe
Johnston and his men,"

battle Of Wilson's Creek conducted the
retreat of the army from Springfield to-
ward Rolla.
He was commissioned hrigadier gen.
eral May II, 1861, and in the autumn
campaign of Gen. John G. Fremont he
commanded the advance guard. When
the confederates compelled the retreat
from Springfield he commanded the rear
guard, consisting of two divisions.
He took command of the right wing
of the troops assembled under Gen.
Samuel r. Curtis at lRolla, and conduct
ed the final assault at the battle of Pea
Ridge.
For this victory he was made major
general, his commission dating from
March 81, 1862, and was ordered to the
east, where he was placed in command
of the forces at Harper's Ferry.
He cooperated in the movement
against Gen. Thomas j. Jackson at
Winchester and when Gen. John Pope
was placed in command of the newly
created army of Virginia he was given
commad of the First corps. This corps
took part in the engagements beginning
with Cedar Creek and ending with Bull
Run, where he commanded the right
wing.
After the last battle he covered the re-
treat to Centerville, where his corps
held the advanced position. He also
held the advance position at Fairfax
Courthouse.
He then commanded the Fourth
grand reserve division until that organ
| ization was abolished, when he resumed
| granted leave of basence on account of
failing health and was finally suppressed
! ed by Gen. Oliver o. Howard.
When his health improved, in 1863, he
took command of the reserve army of
Pennsylvania and organized corps of
| 1000 men to aid in repelling Lees pro-
posed invasion. He remained in COM
mand of the reserves until February,
1864, when President Lincoln appointed
him to the command of the department
and army of West Virginia.
He fitted out an expedition that oper-
ated under Gen. George Crook in the
Kanawha valley against Lynchburg and
Staunton, and led smaller one of 1000
men through the Shenandoah valley
but was defeated by the confederates
under Gen. John c. Breckenridge at New
Market.
After his defeat he was relieved from
his command, and in June, 1864, was put
in command of the division command,
ing Harper's Ferry. There he repelled
the attack of Gen. Jubal A. Early on
Maryland Heights, but was relieved OF
his command soon afterwards and re,
tired to Bethlehem, Pa, to recoup his
health.
He resigned his commission May 4
1865, and removed to Baltimore, where
he became editor of the Baltimore
Wrecker, which position he held unit

MONUMENT TO GEN sIoEL
Splendid Memorial to Brave Fighter
and the German-American Soldier
to Be Erected at st. Louis.

Contracts have been signed for the
monument to be erected in st. Louis to
Gen. Franz Sigel, and the German
American soldiers of the civil war, and
Robert Cauer, of Kreuznach, Germany,
the sculptor, has started work on the
huge bronze and marble memorial.
One of the contributions to the fund to
erect the monument was from Capt. Jo-
seph Boyce, vice president of the city
council, who, as an officer in the confed-
crate army, fought against Gen. Sigel.
Several other confederate soldiers are
also among the contributors.
The monument will be the only eques-
trian statue in st. Louis, and, while the
site has not yet been definitely decided,
it probably will be located in Forest
park.
The fund was raised by the Gen. Franz
Sigel Monument association, Judge Leo
Rassieur president. Many contributions
have been received, mostly from Ger
man-American residents of st. Louis.
The largest individual contribution was
for 81 900.
Many designs for the memorial were
submitted to the association before the

THE HABITUAL EXPRESSION.
Questions Which Many Persons In
Exalted Business Positions
Should Ask Themselves.

What kind Of an expression do You
wear habtually? asks 0rison SWEET Mar
den, in Success Magazine. Is IL sour,
morose, repellentY Is 1t mean, stingy,
contemptible, uncharitable, intolerant ex-
preston? Do you wear the expression
of bulldog, a graspins, greedy, hungry
expression, which indicates an avaricious
nature? Do you 60 about among en-
ployes with thundercloud expression,
with melancholy, despondent, hopeless
look on your face, or. do you wear the
cheer and hope, which indicates a feel
ing of good will and of helpfulness? Do
people smile and look happier when you
approach them, or do they shrink from
you, and feel chilly goose.fesh sensa-
tion come over them as they see you ap-
pioach?
1t makes all the difference in the world
to you and to those whom you influence
what kind of an expression you wear.

And all that evening he was en-

She quite forgot. But he went less

about the door of his dream palace,
fearful of entering, yet unable to
stride boldly away. He could see
Christine, picturing in his mind her
graceful and charming figure. But
there beside her was her mother and
in all likelihood, in after years, when
his eyes must constantly dwell on her,
she would be like her mother

woman he had ever seen.

out to find consolation. Knowing re-
nunciation to be wisdom, yet clinging
to folly, the idea had come to him that
he would visit his frienu Felix, paint

Felix, busy on masterpiece, greet

and went on with his painting.
Gerald began to wander aimlessly
about the studio. Presently he stood
before picture resting on an easel in
corner and looked long at it, won

the face of the woman painted there

Felix looked up sharply, tuen turned
to his work again.

briefly.

HOW coQUELIN'S WIT WON
By an Eloquent Illustration of Silence
He Secured Much Desired Club
Membership.

One of the most famous of the Quar-
tier Latin clubs in Paris is the one
which is called THE Sub Rosa" and
the most famous of its members is the
great actor Coquelin, pere, but the
story of his election has not yet been
told in print, writes Warwick James
Price, in Success Magazine.
He was present one night at the
clubs late supper, a weekly feast and
having heard that there was a va
cancy in the roll, applied for member
ship. Now the only rules of the Sub
Rosa" men are: Think much; write
little. Be as silent as you can" The
presiding officer, with this last rule in
mind, answered the applicant by plac-
ing before him tumbler filled so full
of water that another drop would have
caused it to run over. Coquelin un-
derstood. He had evidently been mis-
informed about vacancy the club
membership was obviously full.
over the table was suspended a rose,
the club emblem. While the glass
still stood before him Coquelin broke
petal from the flower, and laid 1t so
gently on the water that not a single
drop escaped. A silent man could join
and make no trouble.
Around the table ran ripple oi
smiles and little handclaps and mods
of approval, and then, as If of one ac-
cord, all began making bread-balls
Then a cup was. passed from hand to
hand, and each deposited his ballot
in it-and all were found to be round;
not one had been pressed fiat in sigr

OTIS OF THE CIVIL WAR.
1S61-'65.

Gen. Sigel, in bronze, mounted upon
his charger, surmounts the pedestal. The
figuhe is of heroic size, and is attired in
the regulation army uniform.
Gen. Sigel was born in Sinsheim, Ba-
den, in 1924. After completing his stud
les in Bruschal he entered the military
school at Carlsruhe and was graduated
in 1884.
When the Baden revolution began in
1S4S he raised a corps of volunteers and
organized the Lake district at Con-
stance. He led body of more than
1000 volunteers against Freiburg and
was defeated in two encounters with the
royal troops.
He escaped across the French border
April 2S and made his way into Switzer-
land. The insurrection of May, 1S49, re-
called him to Baden.
He was made commandant of the Lake
and Upper Rhine district, and placed in
charge of the army of the Neckar. He
met the royal forces at Hoppenheim May
30, when he was made minister of war
and chief commander of the troops.
He fought in several battles under
Gen. Louis Meiroslawski, whom he sue
ceeded. He conducted the army of 49,
600 men in retreat through three hostile
army corps, and crossed the Rhine with
the remnant of the army into Switzer-
land.
While residing at Lugano he vas ar
rested by the federal authorities in the
spring of 1851 and delivered to the
French police, who conducted him to
Havre with the intention of placing him
on ship bound for the United States.
He escaped, however, and went TO
England, living in London until May,
1852, when he departed for the United
States.
He first settled in New York and
taught school in the academy conducted
by Rudolph Dulan. A short time after he
was married to daughter of Dulan and
started a military magazine, "Die Re-
vue," which he conducted until 1858
when he was called to st. Louis as a
teacher of mathematics and history in
the German institute.
At the outbreak of the civil war he or
ganized regiment of infantry and bat

Arsenal and later at Camp Jackson.
