During the early part of that year troops were rapidly raised and or ganized into regiments and as rapidly as possible sent to the front, In cooperation with Colonel Garratt of Perry county, Pettus raised a regiment of infantry, which became the Twentieth Alabama, Of which regiment he became the major and somewhat later was made the lieutenant colonel of the command.
 Assigned to duty in the western army the regiment did not long remain inactive. Colonel Pettus won laurels by leading the army of Gen. E. Kirby Smith in driving the enemy into Covington and Cincinnati. His regiment was afterward ordered to Mississippi and Colonel Pettus was en- gagged in the battles of Port Gibson and Bakers Creek.

4 s there is such universal interest 1T
 A the stories of Charles Dickens just 4 1 at this time I have thought that il would not be amiss to give the chronolog- ical order in which the greatest of his novels were written.
 this for the special benefit of those persons who read the great stories. and vet are without the means of ascertaining at what time in the authors life this or that hook was given to the world. I beg to suggest that the dates hereby given to the stories be clipped from this contribu- ton and pasted in each book as 1t snail be named.
 It should be known that, for the most part, Dickens did not wait for the compie- ton of his stories before he began to pup fish them. His custom was to publish m numbers, in the popular monthlies and magazines of the day; among them were Household Words and All the Year Round These were weeklies conducted by MT Dickens himself.
 Tn the list that I shall give only the greatest of Dickens works will be men, tioned; although there is a wonderful number of short stories essays. sketches operas, burlesaues and the like, that fl up the years between 1886 and 1sS7-s. Some of these shorter sketches were written ir collaboration with Wilkie Collins.
 One of the short tragic stories. and yet not so short either was dramatized and afforded Fechter an opportunity to multi ply his laurels. I refer to 'No Thorough farer A number of the lesser stories were rendered into dramas "The Cricket on the Hearth used to be very popular I saw the famous John E. Owens give the part of old Caleb Hummer in this fine old Christmas drama.
 But get me to my original purpose and refer to the best known of Dickens works. s4
 "Sketches by Boz" appeared in ls35-36. Dickens was doing newspaper work then. his side lne'' being these remarkable sketches. They disclose keen insight into human nature. fine appreciation of

 I suppose 1t is not a gracious thing.l tnp vex anyone's feelings--assuredly not the sad lives of those who have no will 10 dance or sing. But religion of joy is so essentially the need of weary worid.. that almost I may say whoever pricks one bubble of sladness springing from the worlds heart is no true Gods servant. We may well grieve for the man or wo- man who Is never frivolous or light hearted. For frivolity is no more than the undress-hour of day that Is all too serious We do not sing half enough, play half enough, dance half enough
 The one ray of light in Ibsen's Dolls House Is, not Nora's superior mastery of that irksome domestic existence, but that picture of her prone In the center of the stage, at play with her children. It is so human and natural too that she should have a passion for macaroons the while she solved a delcate marital complication.

Strange as it may appear the old medical books give a number of in- stances of death by this very cause. I am inclined to think that the author of Bleak House" was indebted to Captain Marryat for the remarkable death that lie records. Bleak House" was written in 1853 Jacob Fathfu' was given to the world in 1894 by Captain Marryat, and as everybody knows. Jacob Faithfu's father died of spontaneous combustion.
