Incident * ) of Sliiloli.
Chicago News : "The battle of Sliiloli , "
lie murmured , as ho slopped and looked
at the big , round brick buildlugoii Michi
gan avenue. "Well , I was in that light.
1 wonder what this is ? A picture , 1
reckon. "
lie was a litllo old man , and there was
a litllo old woolen hat on his head. A
little old woolen scarf was knotted around
his neck , while one end'ot his collar had
become divorced from the button and
stood out over his shoulder. He wore a
carefully brushed long-tailed blue coat ,
with brass buttons. Ho carried over his
shoulder a hickory cane. Its crooked
handle was large enough to ealeh a sheep
by the neck , and on this handle hung a
patent-leathor Michel.
"Will you come in ami look at the pic-
lire1'sud : a voice.
"Well 1 don't mind if 1 do. " said the
old soldier. "J just happened to come
along and see the sign there. I am goinjj
to Milwaukee , to the soldier's home. 1
was in a Wisconsin regiment during the
war the llth , K company. My ii.iine ?
Andrew Cornalc , s > r ; I tiin t ailiamed of
it. Yes , our regiment of 1,000 men was
in the b.itlle of Sliiloli , and we didn't all
come out of it neither. "
There was touch of pride in his voice.
He limped as he went up the st.iirs , ior
one leg was .shorter than the other. Ills
worn taco brightened as bin eyes took in
the iKinoranfa.
"Them Holds and woods look natural to
me , " ho said , "but the battle line don't.
Oh , I see ; this is may bo a picture of the
lirsl day's light. Wo were in the second
clay's fight , and our regiment lay right
over there on the hill near that wheat-
Held. The fighting was sharp , I tell you.
Many of our men were wounded in the
legs and feet. This was because lieaure-
{ iard had ordered his men to tire low , and
tire to ciipple , not to kill , saying it would
weaken our force , because it would take
two sound nun to take care of one crip
ple."Wo
"Wo wore under ISuoll that day. Kight
hack of us , and within si few yards , were
( irant's reserve forces. They N ere tunn
ed in four hollow squares ,
"Wo were finally ordered to charge ,
and then my lighting ended. I was
wounded in the charge , and wounded
from behind what do you think of that ?
Yon tee it was a inislake. When the bu-
glu sounded this charge , Oraiit's men mis
took the order and lired on us They
were at mighty short range , and they Kill
ed lots of us. I was shot in tlio groin and
through the right hip. When I tell I haid ,
How is thin ? lam shot from behind' ;
and then the bo > s who were c.irr > ing mo
away told mo how Grant V men hud made
a mistake and fired on us.
" 1 bugged the hoys not to take mo to
the hojpitnl. 1 saw that the robs wore
bombarding iho hospitals. J was carried
down by the river. I remember while 1
lay there , tiller Iho battle , 1 noticed the
body of a line-looking , heavyset , „ . , „
lyjn < about six feet trom me. 1 asked
tlio wvs who ho was , anil .somobndy told
1,10 it was ( ! oii. Albert Sidney Johnston.
Ho was eommandor-in-ehief of the .south
ern army , w.isu't ho'ilib body was
taken 113thu union forces. I don't know
what was done with it. 1 don't think our
hoys treated his body right , though.
While I lay there I snw do/ens of men
cut of parts of his whiskers and put the
hair in their pocket-hooks. And they
cut the gold cord and lace oil' his uni
form , and the buttons oil' Mi clothes , and
even took pieces of lib coat.
"Yes , that was a great light. You see ,
on tlie first day wo were tit Savannah , up
the river , 1 think there was another com
pany or two there at the same time. It
was there 1 first saw Grant , Let me see ,
that was April 0 , 180J. I think Grant
must have eomo up from Sliiloli to gut us
and the other companies , When wo were
inarching clown to the boat wo passed
him , Ho was sitting ou the porch of a
11
two-story white house on the bank of the
Tennessee river We cheered him , and
ho got up nnd eaid : 'I am glad to see you
go , boys. 1 am afraid m.v men have all
been killed , or t ki < n prisoners , or run
into the river. I wish I had ten thou
sand more men just Hkn you. '
"Sliiloliva ahloo'ly buttle , sure. Why ,
young man , I saw places on that lii-ld
win-re there wasn't anything left stand
ing above the ground biprg'-r ' than your
finger. And yet men came out of such
places nlive , bill how they did it I don't
know. And men were killed so thick
and fast in places that the dead bodies
lay piled up three and four deep. "
Millions or Ties.
"The railroads of this country , " said
an lirio railway oHicinl , well posted on
the subject , to a New York Times corre
spondent to-day , "pay $ ii,00J,000 , ( a year
for ere s-ties. The timber u ed is oak.
chestnut , and hemlock in the east , nud
oak , cherry , locust , maple and ash in the
south and west. The best ties are made
of white oak. More than 2.)1)0 ( ) ) acres
of forest are Heeded to supply those ties
every year and consequently the necessi
ties of railroads in this one respect alone
form n considerable ilcm in the destruc
tion of our forests. The country along
the line of our rortd alone annually sup
plies us with hundred ; of thousands of
oak uml chestnut tics , and thus far we
have not been compelled to go outside of
our own district for our supplies. One
county in Pennsylvania furnishes a large
proportion of our lies , and has tor
many jear.s. Thai is Pike county and
every station on our Hue in thai
county is 11 supplying depot for
railror.d ties. 1 have otten wondered
where they all came from , for the eon-
tractors who operate in that county after
thirty years of chopping and hewing in
her forests never ho-Halo to contract for
the delivery of as many ties as we may
call for , and they nre brought in from as
far as fifteen miles from the railroad ,
llcsides the large number that wo an
nually receive trom the county , the Dela
ware \Vs Liiekawannu road , on the other
side of the county , depends m he same
county for a lariro .share of its tics. For
'
more'than twenty-live years , aUo , up to
ihi ) time that we * adopted coal us a fuel ,
Pike county furnished Iho Kric with hun
dreds of thousands of cords of wood
every year oakchest nut , maplo.hickory ,
and pine. Hesides the o draft * on her
limber laud the county's best young
chestnut trees have been cut for more
than thirly-live years to help in renewing
our telegraph poles.
"It.iilroiul lies need renewing every
three years. In building n new road the
e-limate is 2,700 tio-i for each mile. It is
safe to say that it ill require MO ties per
mile per vear to keep a road in repair.
From I'J.OOO.UIW to ir..OOlO ! ) ( ) new tics are
required by the railroads of the United
States every year. In budding the great
western railroads the contractors in
many cases purchase outright the timber
along the routes or as near to il as possi
ble. In that case they pa from $ . ' ( ) to
S'J.'i an acre for the land If they con
tract simply for the lies they pay from
ten to twelve cents apiece for them to
tlio owner of the land for nil the lies
taken out. The average price paid to
the lie contractor is ! J5 cents iipieco , al
though wo have paid as much as 00 cents
for the best oak ties. Hewn ties tire bel
ter , in our estimation , than sawed ones ,
and we tiso no other. Some companies
think as Moll of the sawed
ties as of the hewn ones. The theory of
of our people is that the hewn
tie lasts much longer than the others.
It is only'within the pa.st low years that
hemlock'ha , been used to an.\ extent in
making railroad ties , but we _ lind that it
can be used to nd\niungc in many in
stances on sidings aud sections of track
where the trallic does not require con
stant repairs. Thi.s road pay * to the tie
contractors along the line nbonl ! ? tOOOUO
sijcar. Stone , iron , paper , and even
gl'as.s have been used in making railroad
lies , with the hope that they could bo
practically adopted as a matter of econ
omy in that depart men I of the expenses
of railroads , but none of them have yet
been ntili/.ed with satisfactory results.
The annual clearing oil'of a million acres
of timber lo supply railroads \yilli ties
alone is something that should direct the
attention of those who are inlpresicd in
the important question of protection to
forests to finding of some practical sub
stitute for wooden ties. Fame and for
tune await the inventor who will discover
such sv substitute. "
The Career of'JliiKh > 1Campbell. .
New York Evening Post : Hugh J.

A , Virginian fells a Clus.sio Story.
I was talking with a southern mini
about the opossum which a Tennessee
man caught on the battle Held of Jlur-
free-boro and sent lo the president for
his Thanksgiving dinner , writes a cor
respondent of the Philadelphia. . Hecord.
The .southern man , a Georgian by the
way , said : "The 'nosoiiin is not what
he's cracked up lo bo. 1 used to hunt
him years ago when I was young , but 1
hunted him for the sport and not for
himself. There is something very pict
uresque and piipianl about a 'possum era
a eoou hum. A 'possum hunt differs
from all other hunting in that a good
'pos-uin hunter does not iiso his gun at
all. A 'possum or coon dog a thin ,
mangy , cur-like dog and a big torch
are all that he needs Thu hunt
ing is always ; it night. The do finds
the 'possum and trees him usually in a
persimmon tree. Then the hunter climbs
up , torch in hand , and grabs llic 'possum.
Ihe light of the torch cltr//.Ics the eyes of
the 'possum , and his instinctive simula
tion of death makes il easy to catch him.
The hunter must t.tkn care that the 'pos
sum does not f.ill lo the ground. If it
does there will bo a light not between
the dog and the 'possum , but between
the dog and his master for possession of
the 'possum. ] Uy interest in the coon ,
however , cuds when ho is c'liight. i
would as lieye as nol thai the dog ale
him then. Ho looks too much like a rat
lor my stomach , and la.slos too coarse
and greasy squirrel is much bolter.
"Tho "ijosMinis seem as numerous as
ever , " said a Virginian , "and they seem
lo be limited Justus zealously. I don't
think they are particularly good eating.
The darkies like 'pos-um , just as they like
coir-o : , rich food of any sort. JJiit if 'pos
sum wore nolii traditional delicacy very
few white men would eat il. Of 'eour.s'e
you hayo heard the cla-sic 'po.'isum story ,
which is always told when possum is
mentioned y No ? Well , tin old darky
once caught a 'po mn one cold Thanks
giving day , and Inking it homo to Iii.s
cabin , built up the lire and put it on the
| > ot. Then he laid down , tired out , with
liiick to the lire , darl.y fa-hon , : md wont
to sleep. As hu lay there snoring , while
the 'posMim simmered in the pot. his son ,
a limber , bright cyid jouth , glided into
the cabin. He took in the situation
in a moment. The 'possum was ready to
be eaten , and its strong nronm filled
the room. Stepping softly to the lire the
graceless youth look the 'possum out of
the pot and rapidly devoured Its gainey
Jlpsh , chuckling sojtly | o himself as ho
did so. When he had cutun all there
was to cat , ho gathered the boms in a
little pile boido the fireplace , and then
smearing a little of the 'pus-uni grease
on' the mouth and nom of the sleeping
man he stole softh out. Ity and by old

'Jcni'-lm mighty ! ' he exclaimed , "it's

HOW A POST-MORTEM IS MADE.

lew persons upon rending tin account
of a pojl-inortiMn oxuininatioii stop to
consider the importance ol the matter or
the timu taken up to do Iho work of an
autopsy , MIJ.S the J.altimorc Sun. The
post-morleni surgeijiis uro important
olliecrj who ni.lke till the medico-legal
eliminations for the c ty , and are thu
mi d oil witiies-Ts for the ttiito where
jiust-mortoni extiminiitionb are required.
J'hero are two po > t-iii > > rtem physicians in
llaltnnore , Dr. lp. V , Hiiopinan , for the
ten lower wards , anil Dr. L. W , Council
man. for the ten upper wards.
A icportcr , wishing to wtnc-.s the post
mortem work , called on Dr. Hixipman a
bhort timu ago ju > t as he was Marling to
pertorm Mich ti duty. The case was a
ver.\ important unr , being one of tin ; lute
mnrdcr.s committed in the cot-torn sect on
ot the city. Arriving at Iho huu-'e , about
twenty medical students were found , who
accompanied Dr. lloopmun to the room
where the dead body lay. A table wa
prepared by covering it with an oil-cloth.
The clothing was removed trom the body.
and it was plnccd on the table. The doe-
tor carefully inspected the corpse
aud noted all \ \ omuls , which in
this ca.so were funnel to be thico , two
bullet wound * and one khifo gash The
head wns lir.M examined. An incision
was made from ear to ear over the top of
tlm head , followed by a gush of blood ,
which mi'.do ' toniu of the hpcctii'uia rein -
in inb' ' r tint lliej run
for a moment. Then the sen'p was re-
tlec-ted biukwar.l and forward and the
skull o\pocd. Tliesktill was then sawed
around on n line with the eyebrows.
When the lop of the skull was removed
the doctor took out the brain. That beau
tiful organ , with its lissures and convolu
tions , WHS a mass of blood , the fatal bul
let having plowed its way diagonally
through it. An inspection of the
neck showed that another bullet
had entered nt the back , passed
Jhrough toward the front , sever
ing the cnrltord artery and jugular vein.
The nevt move was to make a long in
cision from the chin down to the navel.
The breastbone was dissected and the
hc'irt and lungs taken out for inspection.
After carefully examining the heart , the
doctor remarked that "the enlumnn >
carnn , chorda1 tondineiv , and aurieulo-
ventricular and semi-lunar valves arc all
lienllhy. " The lungs were found healthy.
A piece thrown in water would not sink ,
which the doctor said was n test tor
healthy lungs. The stomach , liver ,
spleen , pancreas aud intestines were till
in turn carefully removed and inspected.
All this completed , the organs were
replaced and I he ineisions carefully sewed
up. So completely is this done that when
the body is dressed ths fact of a post mor
tem examination having been iiuidc is
not apparent.
"How many post niorloms have you
made during the year If" asked the re
porter.
"About forty , and about one hundred
since 1 have boon making post mortems. "
( ilqncing nt the wnlcli it was found
thai four hours had been occupied in per
forming iho interesting examination.
Posl mortem phy-ichins are appointed
yearly , their selections being made by the
mayor. In each ease they filed a report
of tlio autopsy of the health department.

Rochester ( N. Y. ) Dispatch to New-
York World : Yi'slerelay the World correspondent -
respondent visited the museum e > f Prof.
lleijo A. Ward , the scientist who is pre
paring the skeleton of the mammoth ele
phant ilumho , and is also making a mod
el of the animal , the Inr-jesl work of the
kind ever attempted in this country. The
model will not be linishcel until ne.\l. .
spring , although it was at first cah-u-
luted to have it completed iu two
months. Al the present stage e > f the
work Jumbo looks like an elephant made
ot lath , although the shape of tlie body ,
heael ami limbs is remarkably perfect.
The animal stands on a frame of heavy
oak timbers bolted tngether , in a misilion
as natural as life. Two iron roew , each
of two-inch solid metal , run uhrough
each limb up into the body , where the
framework of the great beastis construct
ed. This framework is composed of
more iron rods and oak limbers , bolted
together in the strongest possible man
ner. The rods anel framework extend
into the head and upper part of the
trunk , the rods really taking the place of
bones. Upon the frame-work is nailed
inch-square strips of basswood.
The general shape of the animal do-
penels largely upon the manner in which
these strips are placed and the diflcrcnt
length ? they are cut to. Although al a
first glance the elephant s-cems to be made
of latli , a closer examination reveals the
really artistic work which has been done
in shaping it and the wonderfully strange
way in which the partu have been maiio.
The hide is in two piece- , and it will re
quire much stretching to place it over the
model , although that is as near Jumbo's
original si/.e and shape as it is possible to
make it The tusks wijl be of ivory ,
screwed ou iron rods projectinc- from the
head. The eyes will bo of < rhiss blown
especially for the purpose. They will ho
Ihe natural si/o and color.
The building for eonMrneting the
model had to be creeled expressly lor the
purpose. On the top of the skull is a
cavity over two feel in width and in some
places nearly -i.x inches in depth. This
was the wound , if il can be fulled sueh ,
which was intlieteel when the locomotive
struck the beast. The lower Jaw and
other fragments of the skull will be uni
ted to this portion when the skeleton is
mounted. In a building near by the
bone.sol' _ the skeleton are placed reiiely lo
bo united. The remains of six oilier ele
phants are waiting to bo articulated.
"Tho largest we. ever mounted hetore , "
said Mr. Ward , "was the skeleton of an
Indian elephant which was put together
seven years ago. "
