FINE TRIBUTE TO
CAPT. G. W. GORDON
COL. PORTER WRITES OF THE
DEVOTION TO DUTY OF A
MAURY COUNTlAN.

In his interesting historical rec
ords Of the Tennessee regiments
Col sG. G. Poruar writes beautiful
tribute to Capt. G. w. Gordon, o
Maury county. Capt. Gordon has
| five sons living, as follows: Hugh
! T. Gordon, Los, Angeles, CAL; c. L
lGordon, Sardis, Miss; and w. B
Gordon, G. w. Gordon and T. Et
Gordon, OF Columbia. OF. the five
four are today elders in the Presby
terrain church. Col. Porter's tribute
to Capt. Gordon follows:
There are-or were-two Forty.
leighth Regiments-aL Grand and La
Petit-the Big and the Little. This
dualism was brought about rather by
accident than design. The reason
will appear hereafter. 1t was organ
lied at Camp Many, located a few
miles north of Nashville.
Six of the companies composing
this regiment were from Maury
County, tire from Hickman and one
from the County of Lewis. It is gen.
orally known and designated as a
Maury County Regiment. There
were two Capt George w. Gordon's,
one from Giles County, who became
Colonel of the Eleventh Tennessee
Regiment and after his brigade COM
mander, Gen. A. ]. Vaughan was in.
capacitated for active service on the
Atlanta campaign, ebcame Brigadier-
General and put in command of his
brigade; the other, Capt. G.. w. Cor.
don, was Captain Of company in the
Forty-eighth, and ! believe was from
the County of Maury He was in his
sixtieth year at the date of his en-
listment, was of spendid physique, a
fine soldier, polished, refined gentle
man and devout Christian. Tennes-
see had few better representatives
of her valor, chivalry, and patriotism
than he. After the organization of
the regiment his company was order
ed to point on the railroad south of
Bowling Green, to guard the Elk Fork
bridge. At the close of the day he
would call his company together
around the campfire, read a chapter
in the Bible, sing one of the old fami-
liar Watts or Chas. Wesley hymns
and offer up a fervent prayer to the
throne Of grace for the care and pro-
lection of the Heavenly Father.
While in prison his piety and upright
department had a happy effect upon
his associates there and softened the
passing OF many long and weary
day between February and Septemb-
er, 1862. On his way from prison to
Vicksburg to be exchanged he was
taken sick and in beautiful spot in
one of the cemeteries in that now
historic spot sleepsJone of the best
and finest men that gave his life for
the cause of his beloved land of the
South.
How sleep the brave who sink to
rest,
With all their countrys wishes blest,
By fairly hands their knell is run,
BY forms unseen their dirge Is

there is no reason to believe that 1t
as thought beautiful and so was pre-
served by sexual selection. Dr. Rob-
inson bids us look at the chin not from
the outside, but from the inside, if we
wish to find the probable reason for
its development. On the inner sur
face, about halfway between the rim
of the central tooth sockets and the
lower edge of the jaw, are two bony
prominences known as the genial
tubercles." There is sometimes anoth-
er pair below these. but they are of
minor Importance. The essential point
about the upper two is that they form
a means of attachment for the tendon
of fan-like muscle which spreads out
beneath the whole lower surface of the
tongue and comes upward through
other muscles almost to the surface.
Now. this muscle, the genio- glossus
muscle, exercises differing functions in
different animals, and is of varying
structure. In dogs and pigs 1t cannot
do much: it is mere strip of muscle.
1t will barely assist the dog to move
his tongue, as anyone can assure him
self by watching a dog trying to get
rid of some small, unpalatable object.
In the lemurs and apes it is much
better developed and gives great mo-
bility to the tongue for sorting food
already in the mouth. This is plain
Iy seen when we give a monkey nut
and see him crack it and turn it about
with his tongue. selecting the kernel
and rejecting every fragment of the
shell.-Erom the London Post.

HIS JOURNEY PERlLoUS.
How Express Rider Carried News of
Indian Uprising.

Probably the most spectacular and
perilous journey that was ever made
by an express rider in the inland en-
pire is recorded in the official reports
of Gov. Isaac |. Stevens. The gov
ernor and small party of twenty
four were near Fort Benton, Mont, in
the autumn of 1866 after a summer of
hard work negotiating treaties with
Indian tribes between the Cascade
mountains and the Montana plains.
Said Stevens hiographer:
THE great tribes of the upper COL
umbia Countrywide Cayuese, Yakimas.
walla Walla, Umatillas, Palouses and
all the Oregon bands down to the Dali
les the very ones who had signed the
treaties at the Wala Walla council
and professed such friendship, had all
broken out in open war. They had
swept the upper country clean of
whites, killing all the settlers and
miners found there, and murdered
Agent Bolon under circumstances of
peculiar atrocity. Major Halter sent
into the Yakima country with 100 regu-
lars an a howitzer. had been defeated
and forced to retreat by Kamiaken's
warriors with the loss of third of
his force and his cannon.
This startling news the governor
must know and w. H. Pearson was
chosen to ride to Fort Benton. The
trust was not misplaced.
Pearson rode out of the Dalles fresh
and well mounted, and riding all day
and night reached Billy McKay's
ranch on the Umatilla by daylight.
The place was deserted. Lassoing a
fresh mount he saw a band of hos
tiles racing down the hills towaEd the
valley, and as he sprang into the~sad-
die they gave fierce yells and cries
of XIII the white mani
They pursued him for many miles,
but he slowly drew away and at night
fall turned off the trail at right angles,
rode for several miles and then took
course parallel with the regular
route.
Riding in this strategic manner,
resting few hours in secluded covert
and seeking unusual fords, Pearson
reached Lapwai and after a days rest
pushed on over the Brmer Root noun
tains. A binding snowstorm beset
him; a tree fell and crushed his NeZ
Perez companion and the trail was
buried under several feet of new fall
en- snow.
Unable to travel further on horse
back Pearson improvised snowshoes,
cutting the frames with his knife and
weaving the webs with strands from
his rawhide lariat and packing his
blankets and a little dried meat upon
his back he struggled over the snow
| buried heights. and after four days
| of this desperate travel descended into
the Bitter Root valley near Fort Owen,
where rest, fresh mount and friendly
greetings awaited him. Three days
later he rode into Stevens camp on
| the Teton so faint and exhausted that
| Stevens men lifted him out of the sad
| die.

QUEST OF Ell DORADO.

Guiana is bounded on the north by
the great river Orinoco and on the
south by the still greater river Anna
ION. These two grand rivers are con-
nected with one another, the Cisiquiure
a branch from the Orinoco, falling into
the Rio Negro, a tributary of the
Amazon, Within Guiana itself are
many rivers of very considerable size.
The kingdom of Ell Dorado was re-
puted to exist somewhere between the
Rio Branco and the Essequibo, called
by The Indians the Brother of the ORR
noco. Manoa, the capital, was said
to be somewhere between the Rio
Branco and the Rupununi, tributary
of the Esseeuibo. From the thirties of
the sixteenth century some eighteen
expeditions had been sent by the
Spaniards to Guiana in search of the
golden kingdom. Diego de Ordas, one
of the captains of Cortes at the con-
quest of Mexico, led the first attempt
in 1881. After him followed many a
brave cavalier, but all in vain, and
disasters as well as failure attended
nearly all the expeditions.
From state paper in the pubic
record Office, London, it appears that
in 1880 persons who travelled in Ameri-
ca had reported that there was place
where the women wore great plates of
gold, covering their whole bodies like
armor. In every cottage pearls were
to be found: in some houses a peck.
Banuueting houses were built Of cryst-
al, with pillars of massive silver, some
of gold. Pieces of gold as big as a
mans fist were to be found in the
heads of some of the rivers. Raleigh
read accounts of these expeditions.
but their want of success did not deter
him from attempting to find the golden
region -Blackwood's Magazine

great many of these pipes are to be
seen in museums. Many of the old
Indian pipes We're made from red
pipestone, and a quarry of this,
thought to have been worked by In
dams in days prior to the advent of
the whites, exists in the country west
of the Big Stone Lake in South Da-
kota. Baked clay pipes have also
been found among early Indian relics
and ancient clay pipes have been
found in Mexico.
Many Indian pipes taken from In
dian graves are carved in porphyry,
or hard stone. These tipes consist
of stone bowl on stone base or
platform three or four inches long,
and through this base at right angles
to the bottom of the bowl runs the
hole through which the smoke was
drawn.
Pipes of iron and bronze have been
found among the ruins and relics of
classic Rome. They may have been
used in burning incense to the gods,
and it may be that the people then
had the habit of smoking fragrant
herbs or hemp. There are writer's
who have printed the opinion that the
smoking of tobacco was known in the
Orient centuries before mariners of
Europe began to concern themselves
with the question of reaching India
by sailing west.
Small clay pipes have been found
with Roman relics in Great Britain
and ireland, and in Ireland they are
called elfin, fairy or Celtic pipes.
Very few smokers know much about
the briar pipe. The best "briar" is
cut from the root of a tree-the erica
arborea4-a member of the heath fam
lily, which grows in France and Italy.
But the old clay pipe has passed.

How Man Got His Chin.

Man alone among the animals has
genuine chin. The elephant has a
kind of chin, but it is the mere de-
generate remnant of the long lower
jaw of its ancestors, whereas mans
chin has increased and improved with
the ages. An interesting attempt is
made by DR.. Louis Robinson in the
current number of knowledge to show
the progress of it's evolution and the
causes of it. Its development, re-
garded from the outside, cannot well
have been an advantage to primitive
man, because it would render him if
anything more vulnerable to assault,
as any student Of boxing is aware, and
