The absorption oi the great Bostoa
and Maine system by tbs New Haven
ul1 he a browning act Of predatory
cncroachment on New England railway
interests by New York. Only few com
paratively uuimportant lines viii then
preserve their separate identity. As a
Feat Of railway consolidation this makes
the acquisition Of the Boston and
Albany by the New York Central a
modest mouthful by comparison.
For slightly more than two decades
the New Haven, anaconda-a.ike, has been
pushing its way across New England,
devouring the pet railways of Boston as
il goes. /, gulped down the Old Colony,
the road Of Pilgrim traditions. and with
IL the Boston and Providence 1t
swallowed the Providence and Worcester,
the Norwich and Worcester, the New
York and New England and the Berk-
shire line, along with scores o! lesser
roads. Into it's nav went the Fall
River boats, Jim Fisk's pride; the feet
OF the Providence and Stonington com
pany and the New Bedford and Bridge
port lines. Now, by its absorption OF
the Boston and Maine, the New Haven
will get possession OF the Fitch5urg the
Eastern, the Boston and Lowell and the
Concord and Montreal, once distinctive
ly Boston properties.
Alas for the departed railway glory OF
the Hub Il has bartered it's old pres.
tige for larger bank account. For the
traveller in its great South station there
is nothing in the names on the cars to
show that he is not in the Grand Cen.
trial in Manhattan A brief while and
from the North station also the last
reminder Of the home roads will be gone.

George Fred Williams OF Massachusetts,

description which is too good TO keep
According 10 the tale:
There was q debate IN coiortd clul
over the question, Resolved, That whei
one hen lays an egg aud another hen set
on the egg the hen that laid the egg /
the mother Of the chicken Both side
were ably presented and the presiding
officer was leaning strongly toward th
side Of the negative Finally a colore
brother in the rear OF the room iujecte
a question Suppose case, sand b,
suppose the egg is duck egg, then VIII
is mother Of the duck. the duck that lai
the egg or the hen what set on the egg
This argument caused CONSERVATION /
the ranks Of the speakers on the neg5
tive, Ju, the presiding officer was equl
% the occasion. He raped for ordel
and after scratching his head, answered
Ducks am not before the house; chicI

The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-08-25

ment at Norfolk, he superintended the construction of the breastworks of the entrenched camp at Norfolk. While so engaged he was appointed to the rank of Major of the 11th Alabama Regi- ment, commanded by Colonel Syden- ham Moore. In that capacity he served till June, 1862, when he returned home and became Colonel of the 43rd Ala bama Regiment He was ordered to Tennessee and commanded a brigade in the campaign in which the invasion of Kentucky was the most important event. In that State the post of Lex ington was intrusted to him. In that position he so conducted himself that he made many friends and supporters of our cause. Indeed, throughout the entire campaign his conduct was so ap- proved that, on his return from Ken lucky, he was made a Brigadier Gen. eraI, and assigned to the command of Cumberland Gap. That place, strong in natural advantages, his skill as an engineer rendered impregnable. But for some reason not yet generally known, General Fraser, who relieved the last battalion of Gractes brigade on the sth of August 1863. surrendered in the fall of that year to the Federal forces.
 After General Oracle left the Gap his brigade assembled at Strawberry Plains in Tennessee, and formed part of Preston's division in Buckner's corps, took up the line of march on the 21st of August for the purpose of joining General Bragg. The junction was eff fected and the brigade participated in the battle of Chickamauga. A writer relating some of the facts that occur red on that field said: 'In so general an engagement no one can know all the daring deeds performed by differ ent corps. He can only observe some of the exploits of his own command. I hope, therefore, may not be suspected of injustice to others if I should say something of General Gracie's brigade and the part 1t bore in the conflict on the memorable goth of September. The brigade was composed of the 63rd Ten nessee Regiment of Billiards Alabama Legion, consisting of four battalions, commanded by Major John H. Holt, Lieutenant Colonel Boiling Hall, Lieu tenant Colonel John W. A. Sanford and Major Mcclellan, and the 4Srd Regi- ment Alabama Volunteers. These were arranged in line of battle from right to left in the order they are mentioned. On the 18th of September the brigade, although under fire of the enemy's ar tilIery were held in reserve. But about 1 o'clock thu next day, the 20th, 1t be- gan to advance and little after o'clock 1t, in army phrase, was put in

under the most furious storm of shell and grape. and musketry that swept the field during the bloody days on the banks of the Chickamauga (which means "the River of Death.) Cannon to the right of them; cannon to the left of them: cannon in front of them volIied and thundered but nothing could impede it's progress Steadily 1t push ed the enemy from one line of breast works to another and took possession of the hill fortified and held by the en- emy when the brigade joined battle. For two hours our line was swept by a consuming fire. But no one shrunk from the terrible ordeal to which his patriotism was subjected. The forti- tude of our gallant men elicited the commendation of General Buckner who said he had not witnessed so hot a fire since the battle of Moline del Key. This opinion is corroborated by the reports of officers. The brigade lost in killed and wounded 1850 men. of whom 700 were soldiers of the Legion. With the fight of Gracie's brigade the battle of chickamauga may be said to have ter minated. There General Oracle dis- played the noblest qualities of a sol- dier.
 From the right to the left of his line ne constantly moved. Tn one place giv- ing instructions; in another encourag- ing his troops. he appeared careful of everything but his own safety. He seemed like Marshal Ney, to have no time to fear. Indeed. the chief fault of his generalship was a reckless ex- posture of his own person. He had two horses killed under him, but he escaped unharmed. The reports of Generals Preston and Kershaw show how valua- ble his services were on that memora- ble occasion.
 The Army of Tennessee had invested Chattanooga for nearly two months when General Oracle was ordered to reinforce General Longstreet then be- sieging Knoxville. He arrived in time to join in the attack on that city on the 29th of November. The assault, owing to misapprehension of orders, failed. But General Oracle. believing the works could have been carried by his brigade, is reported to have volun- teered to take them. General Long street declined his profrer, and raised the siege of the place on the fourth day of December After retiring slowly for several days, he suddenly returned to Beans Station and fought the enemy, under General Shackleford. on the 4th day of December. While urging his skirmishers forward he received a wound in his right arm. which was so severe and painful that it compelled him to retire and absent himself from
