AFTER THE BATTLE.
An Incident That Seemed to Explain

Joshua's Miracle.
There was an incident in our life at

fallen in with while we were there,
asked Ia join our mess at Brandy when
be came to tie army to verify the DO.

night we had just sat down To dinner
wien Ie entered our big hospital tent,
quite tired.
Well he announced after taking
his place ~ the table. Il have been
down IN the Second corps today. and
believe ! nave discovered how Joshua
made the sun stand still | first went
to regiment and had the officers
mark on the map the hour Of their
position ut certain point Then |
went to regiment In the same bri-
gade. They declared positively it was
one or Two hours earlier or later than
that given by he other so it went
on no two regiments or brigades
agreeing. and If | hinted that some Of
them must certainly be mistaken they
would set me down by saying with
severe dignity We We're there, Batch
elder, and we ought to know | guess.
and ! made up my mind that it would
take day of at least twenty hours
instead of thirteen at Gettysburg to
satisfy their accounts SO when Josh
ua's captains got around him after the
fight and they began to talk it over
the only way under the heavens that
he could ever harmonic their state
ments was to make the sun stand still,
and give them all a chance"
Any one who has ever tried to estab-

anything took place in an engagement
