Iere in hiS hand even though an error. "tne pt Il is mightier than the sword"
 There are but two men living who's, statements can set this question at rest forever. They are Major Wright and Parke and theIr authority is given to me to correct this important historical error. In the interest of tn, survivors of the Sixth Corps. of their children and of Truth, wrote to General Wright soon after the publication of the second volume of General Grants Memoirs for his authority to correct the error.
 The generous spirit of the Commander of the old Sixth Corps is shown in his reply, which was as follows:
 Washington, D. O., March l9, 1887. Der Captain Dixon:
 A previous letter of yours also calls for an answer which delayed til could see General Parke, who comma uded the Ninth Corps at Petersburgh. l felt sure that he did not succeed iu breaking the rebel lines, but wanted hIs auth Oritv. which he gives me, before saying that 1t was the Sixth Corps alone which went through the lines upon that memorable occasion. More than that. distinctly remember that after we were through the rebel lines 1 sent him first brigade and then a division on his representa- tion that the enemy was pressing him and that he needed support. This de- tachment from our Corps was not with. drawn till the next morning when we took up the pursuit of Lees retreating forces. (Signed) H G. WRIGHT.
 The rest of the campaign is a matter of undisputed history, The fighting that followed has been described by every historian of the war.
 The Sixth Corps was hotly engaged at Sailors Creek on the 9th. and its list of killed and, wounded in the Appomattox campaign exceeded that of any other corps. JAMES W. DIXON,
 Aide de Camp to Major
 General Wright.

West Point, they had been improved and strengthened from time to time as opportunity offered during the period of inactivity of the armies, until they were regarded alike by friend and foe as almost invulnerable.
 Four years of actual warfare had rendered the grand old Army of the Potomac invincible. No less had the same experience made the brave and hardy troops of the Army of Northern Virginia anything but oontemptible an tagonists.
 The signal for the attack was to be 8 gun fired at the hour appointed. For some unaccountable reason, never yet explained satisfactorily, there was 8 delay of few moments in firing the signal gun in Fort Fisher. During this interval brisk fire was opened by the Confederate pickets. It is now known that the attack and assault upon the works was entirely unknown and un- suspected by the Oonfederates, and that the firing in our front was by the pjckets who supposed they were firing upon pickets.
 The Sixth Corps was formed in column of brigades en echelon. General Wright intended with it to penetrate the Con- federate line in the form of an enormous wedge, and the fire of the enemy's plckets was received by the solid columns in grim silence. This firing commenced before the dawn of day, and it is said was brought on by the uncomfortable ardor of our own pickets, who were, however, quickly silenced by their own officers. Certain it is that the General and his staff and escort had been singled out by the sharp-shooters of the enemy 1 for at dawn of day the bullets whizzed so thick and fast just previous to the signal for attack that the horses became almost unmanageable. This trying ordeal was, however, of short duration for, as the light grew stronger. the signal gun in Fort Fisher announced that the time had come for the assault.
 In front of the strong line of works about to be charged by the Sixth Corps impenetrable lines of abattis extended Pioneers with axes from General Ed. wards's brigade were pushed forward tc

Rlsmsrok's Prophetic Pipe.

Prince Bismarck was a great pipe collector, and the gem of hls collection had a curious history. Many years ago Bismarck was accosted by peddler and asked to buy n plain meerschaum pipe of the type that he most affected. At first he declined, but the peddler claimed for the pipe a power of fore cast and told him he would serve three emperors as minister and that three important changes in life would be foretoId by accidents befalling the pipe. Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe. He served three emperors. and two days before the historic occasion when he was refused an audience the stem of the pipe fell to pieces. Later he clipped a piece from the side of the bowl accidentally, and within month his practical dismissal by the emperor occurred

Following is the article clipped from newspaper some years ago. referred to in last weeks issue of The News, by Oomrade Edward s. Roberts, in his con- tribution showing that the Rebel lines at Petersburgh were broken by the Sixth Corps, to which the Second Heavies be- longed. The following was written by Captain James W. Dixon, aide-de-camp to Major General Wright:
 In the Personal Memoirs of U. S.. Grant," page 446, are found these words:
 "l then issued orders for an assault by Wright and Parke at o'clock on the morning of the 2d I also ordered the Second corps, General Humphreys, and General Ord with the Army of the James, on the left, to hold themselves in readiness to take any advantage that could be taken from weakening their front"
 In compliance with this order from the General in Chief, Major General George G. Meade, commanding the Army of the Potomac, issued the following order:
 'Headquarters of the U. s. Armies,
 April 1st, 1865
 gro Major General Wright:
 "You will assault the enemy's works in your front at four (4) @. m. tomorrow Should the assault prove successful you will follow it up with all the force under your command, except the garrisons ot the inclosed works and bastions you have in the line. After carrying the enemyls line you will push for the Boyd ton plank road and endeavor to establish communication with the assaultinp columns on your right and left. Major Generals Parke and Ord will assault al the same time. The point for attack is left to your judgment and knowledge o1 . the enemy's works. By order of

LITTLE MISS MARY MOORE
HOSTESS IN MONTGOMERY.

Little Miss Mary Moore is visiting
her grandparents, Captain and Mrs. T.
H. Moore, In Montgomery. A Mont
gomery exchange has the following
pretty notice about this dear little
girl:
Recently, little Mary Moore. of Pen
sacola, came to visit her grandpar-
ents. Captain and Mrs. T. H. Moore,
at their home on Washington avenue.
Everything was being done to make
her visit "the very happiest," but it
seems she desired to pass on her hap
piness to other little ones, so she said
to her grand father: 90, 1 want some
thing so bad-but-I 'spose I couldn't
have it" may" said the grand
father, "just name your wish, precious
child, and 1t shall be yours" Then
the dear little girl said she desired to
Invite six little girls, all in white
dresses and futtering ribbons on their
hair. to go automobile riding with her,
all over Montgomery and-then-to
give them ice cream and cake down
town afterward. O, they'd be so
happyl
Bless her little hospitable heart!
She didn't realize how easy it all was.
She was told to "get her guests ready
anu the auto WOulQ De CH0Ie at HNe.
Such a 'phoning as then followed!
The little hostess was awful particular
about those white dresses and those
f1uttering ribbons; and at five o'clock
yesterday afternoon a great touring
car, with largest holding capacity, was
to be seen, like a giant nest full of
f1uttering brides, rolling swiftly yet
carefully through the streets and
highways of this township. At the
stearing wheel young girl, Miss e.
B. Moore, safely guided the great car
while Miss Eloise Sadler was the
youthful but very discreet chaperone
amidst the excited guests and happy
little hostess in the tonneau. After
they had ridden and ridden and then
ridden some more, the car was stopped
at Moore and Chatf1eld's and the beevy
of coming bellies settled themselves
to enjoy the cooling refreshments
which ended the exceedingly happy
affair.

men
HAD TO JUMP
EAsT-RouND PASSENGER TRAIN
FAILED TO SLOW DOWN AT
SHOPS AND MANY WENT
SPRAWLING WHEN THEY
JUMPED.

About fifty men employed at the L.
& N. shops, whose homes are in the
city, go out to their work at the
roundhouse every morning on the
early mail train. For a long time it
has always stopped at Ninth avenue
and they have left 1t there.
Yesterday morning the switchman
at Ninth avenue gave it the white flag.
The engineer accepted the signal and
went ahead.
Instead of slowing down the train
began to pick up and when the first
coach reached Ninth avenue 1t was
travelling at a pretty good speed.
Seeing that they were In for a long
ride and that work would probably be
held up for hours unless they made the
jump, the workrnen crowding the plat
forms frightened their grips on din
ner pals and began to Jump. One az
ter another leaped from the rapidly
moving train and went sprawling over
the cindery ground. Many Of them
were slightly skinned or cut and one
negro sustained an appreciate injury
to one wrist. The porter, carrying
the mail for the shops. turned three
somersaults without injury. One OF
them, rather than risk the leap, went
to Bohemia
