among the veterans of almost every Post,

liberal plan by which 1t is offered on trial

foundly grateful, as the road was high

kept at Chattanooga, Stevehshn aid
MurfreesborO, and at every crossing of
a creek or river there wege1 strong
block houses, in each of which a small
garrison was kept to beat off cavalry
raids. These block houses were an IN
tereSting feature of the science of war,
and We're peculiar to this country. They
were almost peculiar to the Army nj
the Cumberland, on account of dts haX-
ing to maintain IT'S communications for
hundreds of miles by a single Line Of
railroad, crossing innumerable streams
and subject to the raids from small
forces. The bridge across a creek or
river was temptation to even the citi-
zens to destroy, which fact embarrassed
the operations of the army greatly. A
burned bridge at a critical time might
even prove fatal.
None of the other armies had TO de-
pend upon such vulnerable line of
communications as the Army of the
! Cumberland The immense volume of
| supplies required by this armed force
were brought to Nashville from Louis
Vile by rail, and UP the Tennessee Riv-

sent over a short line of railroad, IS
miles in length, to Nashville. From
Nashville south to CHATTANOOGA there
was only a single-track railroad run

Tbrec Letters From Veterans.

Great interest has been aroused among the
veterans who read The National Tribune by
the advertisements of BOdi-Tone, the new
remedy for the sick, the full pages Of which
have been appearing in this paper from month
to month. This Is but natural, as no class OF
persons need q good remedy more thar Civil
War veterans, many of whom are now suf
fering as the result OF diseases and weak
nesses contracted during the war, and those
who emerged from the conflict with normal
health are finding that chronic troubles have
overtaken them with the passage of years
the only way whereby Northern soldier car

Many have wondered whether Bodi-TOnt
was not but another of the many worthless
remedies which have been offered from time
to time, but the success which 1t has already

of Phoenix people regard Mr.. Cochems

IN following his stage career as well as
they can, but he has been drifting
about on the other side Of the world so
hong that most of his friends have

that he has been discovered in Manila,

There was just one draw back to the

intervals between the acts. Without
doubt the public was treated to the
greatest Mephistopheles ever seen here
in Mr. Karl Cochems. the American
bass singer OF the company. His act
ing and stage appearance was magni-
ficent and his splendid bass voice came
forth with great volume and sweetness
IN his great role. COchems acting and
singing in the second act was wonder
ful and his "Dio Dell or was sung
with great life and power of voice that
called forth tremendous applause. and
Cochems was forced TO repeat it. In
