There is an Impression floating around the
city that'a number of gambling bouses are
now doing buslnnss in various quarters , not
10 publicly perhaps as at some previous
times in tbo history of tbo city , but still tboy
are holding their door. open to give unwary
grangers a chance to drop their hard earned
dollar ! Into the Jaws of the festive
tiger. There Is an upstairs room
on Pearl street which is pointed
out by some knowing ones as a place where
this animal can bo bucked , and tbo fact that
o number of well known ex-gamblers nro
seen frequently entering or emerging from
tbo door lends some color to the report.
Another place on Broadway Is also sold to
bo used every night in tbo week , Including
Sundays and lopat holidays , as a resort for
professional gamblers and tnt-lr victims , and
persons who bavo boun on the
nsido , but htwo bad cause to regret
tbo fact , state that a full set of
gambling devices is on hand. Tbero are a
number of poker rooms scattered about the
city , so that these who wish to woo iiculo
fortune cannot complain of lack of oppor
tunities. Ono well known gambler made a
cool ( rain of $1,800 thn other night at ono of
these Joints , cut everything did not come his
way , for the next night ho dropped a $40 (
roll of bills. That these places are doing
business right along Is pretty well known bv
the citizens at large , but the police do no
seam to have learned of It yet , as there has
been no attempt at raiding the joints for
several months.

suggestion of the committees , and a
nickel from some broken down old sol
dier whoso worldly wealth is small will
bo just as acceptable as the larger
amounts given by the more prosperous.
It's the sentiment and not thosi/.oof the
contribution that counts. Subscriptions
from the Grand Army will bo made
through the various posts , from the
Loyal Legion through the various com-
mandorics , and from the Army of the
Tennessee through that society.
Sulillcr r.llsliu Hull's Will.
An odd will was filed at the probate
oflico in Auburn , Mo. , on Tuesday , says
the Konoboc Journal. It was that of
Elisha Ball of Minot , and was dated in
1807 , but the maker of the will had out
lived all the witnesses to it , and it hud
to bo proved from the handwriting ol
the man who drew it. It was the first
case on record of the kind.
The maker , Elisha Ball , was an old
citizen of Minot and served in the Into
war. On ono occasion ho was severely
wounded in battle , and when the men
were gathering up the wounded they
came along to him , examined him , and
were going to paw } him by , "Tako mo
along , " ho said. ' 'You can't live , " was
the reply. "I can , and will , " ho said ,
and so earnest was ho that the men
picked him up. That was twenty-eight
years ago , and Eliuha lived not only to
irmko his will but to survive all the wit
nesses of it , and that , , ilocuinont , too , i
quarter of a contury. u.Not a change had
boon made in the paper from the day it
was drawn. , . '

"How did you feel in your first battle ? '
vns asked of a veteran who now , with
ho record of forty battles behind him ,
s neither a pensioner nor an olllco
loldor , gays the Chicago Herald.
" \Voll , 1 was frightened , I suppose , "
replied the eolillor.
"Toll us about it. '
Ho was by no moans anxious for the
task , but they urpcd him , and ho begun
gun :
I was with the army of General
i'lionms thereat Chattanooga in the fall
of 1803 , when General Bragg , with n
splendid at my , had us cornered and
vtis slowly starving us to death.
When Grant came wo were
old there would bo plenty of
Ightlng. Wo were in no condition to
Ight , for wo were in rags , and many
voro sick with scurvy. There was no
ammunition , and wo did not possess a
single position from which the enemy
could bo attacked. It scorns that as
Grant was coming forward ho tolo-
jraphod back for ammunition , clothing
mil small rations , and the very day of
ils arrival these were issued to the
army. You can have no idea how it
strengthened and encouraged , us.
Where wo had been weak and dispirited
joforo wo were now active and full of
energy , and all wo asked was to bo led
against the enemy.
"But. really , when orders came to ad
vance , I confess the courage was cooled
very noticeably. Ono thing was that the
novemcnt began in the night. Along in
the evening our company was ordered to
oport for rations , and the first hint wo
Hid of how long tlio fight would last was
when wo received ten days' rations.
Ammunition was next issued , and \vo
were kept moving. I well recollect I
had loft a waterproof blanket bobindin
tending to got it before wo finally
started- But as soon as the cartridges
were drawn , and without breaking
ranks , they marched us straight down to
'
the river. Many a night afterward I
wanted that blanket , but I never saw it
igain. Down the river and along the
ocky bank , over a road that was diffi
'
cult'enough in day time , wo wont
.ttmbling along.
"Presently , us I rose to the top of a
.ittlo hill 1 saw a lot of boats just ahead
at the river's edge , and the soldiers
climbing in them. There was a jam of
ncn before me. They could not otnba-
. uuidly enough. Some wore in the
water wading and trying to clamber
irst into ono bout and then in another.
Some lost their guns. After awhilowo _
wers alloat tind drifting down , crowding
together the whole river full. No one
know whore wo were going.
"Some ono said : 'It is getting day
light ! ' The e.ist was becoming red.
While 1 watched it , c-amped ,
half kneeling in the bout , I hoard
some firing just above on the
left bank , and then there was a rush of
the boats ahead and a loosening of oats.
Pretty soon every ono waa along the
shore and climbing up on the bank. Not
even the company ollicors know where
we were going. But there wo were , nil
ashore , and forming in something like a
line , but irregular and crowded , and
with companies and. companies that I
never had Been buforo. No ono heard a
command , but yet wo wore going for
ward. Just bofoie sunrise I passed a
group of rebels. There must have been
'That's the guard wo
fifty. picket cap
tured , ' some ono said. I hadn't known
wo had captured any ono. At
daylight wo were stopped , though
there had been no formal orders that
any ono hoaid. Men ahead wore sitting
around on the ground and fences and
iocks eating. Wo all fell to oating. too.
Then there was a forward movement ,
and all the army it looked like 5,000
men was ma-ching rapidly. Lookout
Mountain towered up there on the loft.
Rebel works reached clear down to the
valley. The sun was very hot. Some
of the men wanted water. My canteen
was quite empty. I wondered why I had
not lilled it at the rivor.
"All of a sudden the air seemed to
burst , to shatter with a volley of
artillery. A hill on our loft , half way
to tlio mountain , was occupied
by a rebel buttery. They were
firing right into our column. The
soldiers just ahead of us were running
out of the road up toward the cannon.
Our company ran out of the road , too.
The ground sloped up oafaily. The guns
were about a quarter of a mile away.
They kept on firing. Now , for tlio first
time , I saw some ono was hit here and
there in our troops. I could toll by the
littio diversion it would causo. Men
would look to ti common center , where
all behind would part and hurry around ,
looking at the ground in that center.
Just before us sti etched a thick piece of
low , stunted timber. I could not see
the battery , but I heard it constantly.
The shots were tearing through the
trees. Some ono sahl they had another
battery in the woods.Vo were panting
from the run. Now and then a soldier
would loosen his blanket or his knap
sack and let it roll away.
"Wo , voro in the timber. A man was
killed right in front of mo. Ho fell ,
struggling and trying to rise , but mak
ing no cry. A soldier lifted his canteen
strap from his neck and ran on , taking a
drink from the full supply. I thoughtit
was a. horrid and brutal thing to do , but
the Boldior ran on slipping his own head
and arm through the canteen strap.
"Out on the other side of the woods.
There was no battery thoro. But the
ono up on tlio hill Bcomod terribly near.
It was firing with dreadful regularity.
Soldiers from thrco sides were running
up that hill. Some were shouting. It
occurred to mo wo were in great dan
ger. I wondered moro of im were not
hit. Wo were in rnngo of the muskotn.
The first volley fairly swept the ad
vanced runners from the ground. As
wo ran on V.Q passed dead and wounded
men every few slops. I was terribly
tlied. My lungs seemed bleeding , The
breath cumo in painful gasps.
"Tho shouting now increased to n
roar , and the sound of musketry changed
from a volley to u ragged , continual dis
charge. Part of it was from our own
men. Several soldiers near mo took
aim and fired at the guns , just pausing
an instunt in the run. Others jerked
up their guns and fired at random , with
out even taking aim. For the first litno
I saw my captain. IIo was away ahead.
It occurred to mo wo ought to bo near
him , itii'l I tried to overtake him. The
ground was love ! . The cannons were si
lent. The shouting foil away. A good
many of our men were clambering
over the oarlhworkH between the
guns. I lost Iho captain , and got over
the purupot. Our men were mixed all
up with Johnny robs. Ono could toll
them upart by the clothing , But neither
aide was fighting. Some of the rebels
were guthorinir uji bits of personal be
longings. Most o : our follows were sit
ting down on the ground or anything
else and punting. Pretty soon the robolu
broughttheir arms and stacked them up
without much order , and then they gath
ered In a riithor compact group on ono
Bide. Our fellows kept coining over the
earthworks or around through the opou-

Unit I had been ono of the llrst twenty

"Thatvns my flrbt battle. The of
ficial reports say our side lost 150 men.
They also bay wo buried 140 rebels that
night a thing I remember and wish I
could forgot. Wo are credited with
moro than 100 rebels captured. The af
fair is spoken of as a , gallant fight and
ono of the most important to General
Grant in his manoeuvres for the defeat
of Bragg. I have boon in a good many
battles since , of course , and while in
many of them the dead and wounded
were in sitrht rnoro thickly , yet I saw
very littio moro of the battle.
"The fact is , no man sees a battle. A

Death of a I'liinoiiH Soldier.
General Henry A. Barnum , port-
warden of the city of Now York , died of
pneumonia at his residence in that city
Friday morning , January 29. The dis
ease was the result of a bad cold caught
at a ball aud developed rapidly until the
end came in loss than a wook. General
Barnum , who earned his title by bril
liant services in the civil war , was born
in Onondaga county , New York , in 18U3 ,
and was educated at Syracuse , teaching
there later in the Syracuse institute until
ho was admitted to the bar in 1850.
In 1801 ho enlisted as a private , but was
elected captain of Oomp.iny I of the
Twelfth Now York rogitnont , and be
came n major on General Wadsworth's
btalf in the fall of that year. Later ho
rejoined his regiment and served with it
through the peninsula campaign. At
Mnlvorn Hill a bullet pierced hisnb-
domcn and ho wus left for tlouO on the
flnld. Later a body supposed to bo his
was sent to his homo , a funeral oration
pronounced over it , and interred in his
family lot. General Barnum luid boon
captured and put in a hospital ,
where ho recovered enough to
bo sent to Llbby prison , from
which place he WIVP exchanged
and BO nt' homo. His promotion to a
colonelcy followed bis exchange , and at
Gettysburg and Lookout Mountain he
led his regiment. At thn latter light he
wan severely wounded , but found com
pensation in the eleven battio Hags his
regiment captured. Ho was wounded
once moro in tlio Atlanta campaign , but
commanded a briuado in Sherman's
mari'h to llio sea , and was the first
oflicor to enter Savannph. In
March , 1805 , ho was brovotcd
iv major L'unornl , and in 1800
declined a colonelcy in the r gu
Inr army nnd soon afterward resigned ,
lie was made inspector of prisons for
Nuw York slate , was deputy tax com
missioner from 18 ( ! ( to 1872 , and harbor
master * of Now York city for five yours ,
In 188.3 ho was a member of tlio Now
York legislature , and in IBb'J Governor
Hill appointed him harbormaster again.
Tlio seiitito had refused to confirm any
other nomination of Hill for this plnco.
Klghtoon months ago congress voted
General Barnum a gold modal for gen
eral bravery during the war , and about
the bamo time General Sherman presid
ed at a dinner given him , at which
Uhauncoy M. Dopow presented him n
gold watch on bohiilf of hlH friends.
