The Troops Muste , Tales < Atlanta C When I listen to the young soldiers who have been mastered ont and hear tita grumbling' about the conditions and locations of camps, it makes me smile, and I know that every old Confederate smiles with me. l?ut al! this minds me of the first ou??p of soldiers I ever saw, and they, too, grumbled, then, but they came to know what fools they were and of how little they knew of what the war was soon to be. This first camp had good teats with plenty of straw and cover ing, and with the boxes they received from their homes they lived about as the grand United States soldiers of 6o-day are living-they looked fine, walked proud and only had to do a lit tle drilling every day to please the ladies and allow their officers to show off. - Sut I saw that regiment in another camp at a different time, and if any one had told me that fourteen months would have made such a change I would never have believed it. On my first visit I saw the lines of white tents looming up long before I arrived at the place, and big fires were burning ! and cooking meats were smelling, and the well-dressed soldiers were fat and joking and kicking up their heels like j yoong fillies in playfulness, but my second visit was different, so different that it impressed me from that day to this whenever it is called back to mind. They were.at the "front'' now -they were in the trenches, and as I passed over the hill I saw down in the Talley what was called their camps. Bingy brown blankets or oilcloths were stretched over a bush that had been bent for the purpose, and little smouldering fires seemed to struggle with the cold mist that was falling. There was no smell of cooking meats, no rollicking men, but a stillness most like death and a serious desire for rest, sweet rest, even upon the ground with one small small blanket for every two. It was good dark before I found the company I was looking for, and from over a hundred they had shrank to some eighteen or twenty. These I found and they had gathered, for I had news from their homes, news from Georgia, and some of them cried while some stood stock still and only listened. I had letters for many of them, and I shall never forget how eagerly they kneeled by the dim little fires and read them over and over, and never will I forget how sad the ones looked for whom I had nothing-none but an old soldier can understand how sad it was to receive nothing on an occasion like this. I was the hero upon that occasion if I never was before nor am ever to be again, and it is hard to ?.ell when 1 would have stopped talking if the rat tle of guns from toward the trenches had not scared me so bad that I hushed. The report was soon spread ing that the yankees weie moving forward, and 'there was such a bustle among the soldiers in falling into line that I didn't know what else to do than to go along with them, and go I did. At daylight I found myself in what they called a "trench" and in front of the first line of battle 1 ever : ?aw. I had been longing for daylight to come, for 1 thought our conditions worse than anything that could be, but when it had come I changed my mind and changed it quick. Just as vit got light enough to see, a fellow pretty close to where I was said that he would freeze to death anyhow if he did not stir a little, and so he straightened himself and peeped over the bank in our front. This was fatal to the poor fellow; he raised his head most too high and a ball hit him zip, in a twinkliog. He just dropped down in the mud, gave a few jerks and was dead, but the fight began. Our fellows then began to pick at them, and before sun-up I wouldn't have given a chew of tobacco for my chances-but I didn't have to be told to keep down in the trench; I done it without any telling. 'So it went on all that day. Tbc men in the trenches kept picking at each other and once and awhile the cannons would turn loose and big shells went squealing over us, which made me lay lower still, and when darkness came again I didn't need any guide to help me away from there. I went and went fast, but I often think of the difference in the first camp I saw and of the camp upon this occa sion, and it was tho very same men, but they had been through things that they had never dreamed of and I ven ture that they often thought of what fools they were for grumbling at thc good fare at the commencement. It makes old folks tired to hear all this talk about the hardships of the late soldiers. They have had no hardships and they don't know what war is, and they ought to quit grumb ling. But let them grumble, there is cone of it in our settlement at this time. The 'possums are ripe and LUNKETT >red out Have Their >f Woe. Constitution. more of,'them than we ever had before and the fattest. Besides the parties have began and even as I write I can hear them tramping around in a ring in Brown's big room, singing: "It raina and it hails and its cold stormy weather, Along comes the farmer drinking all the cider; I'll reap the oats and it's who will be the binder, I've lost my true love, but right here I'll find her." These little parties don't cost much and the young people have such a nice time that but few object to them, provided they can suppress Brown and his fiddle, which they do without very much trouble of late, as the blackberry crop waa a failure and the old man finds it hard to get a supply of fiddle strings. SABGE PLUNKETT. A New Bit of History. Col. John P. Thomas, State his torian, has just unearthed a curious bit of history relative to the roll of a South Carolina company, C. S. A., about which information was asked for some days ago. Within a few days Col. Thomas's work would have been closed and his report gotten ready for the General Assembly, and the roll came to light just in the nick of time. It reveals the fact, not gen erally known, and not referred to in all Confederate literature, that Vir ginia . owes at least one company to South Carolina, a South Carolina com pany having served in the 37th Vir ! ginia cavalry, C. S. A. Lieut. James A. Griffin, of Pickens, 8. C., sends the roll to Col. Thomas, as he was requested to do. It contains the names of 81 privates and 10 offi cers, commissioned and non-commis sioned. There are about ll from Greenville County, 23 from Ander son County, and the remaining men are from Pickens County-about 57. In remitting the roll Lieut. Griffin writes to the State historian as fol lows : "This is about as correct a list as can be had at this day. The old orig inal roll is so badly used up that a great many of the names are oblitera ted. Hence I have to depend upon memory. I think there are some names from Anderson County missing. It might be if you were to write to Mr. W. A. Hammond, Williston, Fla., to send you the Anderson Couotv men's names, he might think of some that aie not on my roll. If you see fit to do so, please tell him I would like to get a letter from him soon. Most all of these men whose names ? give have gone across the river and resting in the shade of the trees. If you had been much longer in address ing me I would have been there, too. "Any other information I can give, write me. If you have got a correct roll of Company H, of the 4th South Carolina volunteers, you will find several of our names on the roll, as we were in that regiment the first fif teen months of the war. j "Yours truly, "JAMES A. GRIFFIN, "Lieutenant Commanding Company B, 37th Virginia Cavalry." i He adds : "I was in command of the company the last three years of the war. Earle was sick/in hospital and Lieut. Wallace was captured and never was with the company." The officers of Company B, 37th Virginia cavalry, were : Sandy Earle, captain; M. W. Wallace, first lieuten ant; James A. Griffin, second lieuten ! ant; Benjamin Milliken, third Heute u i ant; T. P. Looper, first sergeant; W. S. McCarrell, second sergeant; J. Hunt, third sergeant; R. T. Griffin, first corporal; H. M. Looper, second corporal; L. W. Kay, third corporal. Neics and Courier. Baby Surprises the Family. Mrs. Oscar Stanly, of Anderson, Ind., gave birth to abey baby nine days ago. When it was placed in care of the nurse she found a rather peculiar pimple on the inside of its thigh. She thought nothing of it at first, but it began to get very sore and also became very large. Yesterday when she was bathing thc child her hand came in contact with a sharp projection. She called a physician, and he found that there was a needle in the child. It was finally extracted and proved to be two inches in length. It was in thc child when it was born. He thinks thc mother swallowed, it probably many years ago. Thc child is as sound as a dollar io-day and will uever be bothered because of the fact that he was born with a needle in him. -Louisville Post. -i ? - - England has adopted universal penny postage, and for that amount a letter can be carried from England, not to Canada and the west Indies, but to India, Australia, and even the center of Africa.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Two great meteor shows in a single month, and only two weeks apart, constitute a rare event in astionomioal * annals. Such an event is due to occur in November. One of thc expected showers will result from the first on-rush of the advancing columns of the great Leonid meteors which envelop the earth in fiery spectacles once in every thirty three and a quarter years. The main mass of these meteors is due in No vember, 1899, but, since their array extends over a lenth of at least 2,000, 000,000 miles, they require not less than three years to pass the place where their orbit intersects that of the earth. Accordingly, astronomers are confi j dent that their leading files will be streaming in hundreds of thousands across the point of intersection when our globe arrives there, about Novem ber 13, this year. The tocsin of science has been sounded, star maps and directions to observers have been scattered broadcast, the latest im provements in photography have been enlisted in the service, and the as tronomical world is on the qui vive for the expected encounter. The other great shower occurs on the night of November 29, and will be caused by the meeting of thc earth with the meteors known as the Andro m?des, OT Bielids, which are closely related to the famous missing comet of Biela, if they are not, in fact, scat tered debris of that comet itself. These meteors were last seen in a great shower in 1885, when a huge ball of blazing iron dropped out of the sky while it was filled with their daz zling grains, and buried itself in the earth near Mazapil, in Mexico. That meteor, or piece of a smashed comet, is now in a mineralogical museum in Europe. Only the transparent air protects us against death from meteors. A meteor's velocity at the instant it strikes the atmosphere is from 50,000 to 250,000 feet per secpnd. Occasion ally the shield of the atmosphere proves insufficient, and the earth's armor is penetrated by a meteor of more than ordinary size and density. This is what happened at Mazapil during the shower of the Androm?des in 1885, and it may happen again next month. , The Mazapil meteor, composed mostly of iron, buried itself two or three feet in the hard soil, and was dug out, yet glowing with heat, by persons who had seen it fall. If a similar meteor should fall in New York City, notwithstanding the loss of velocity it would suffer in passing .through a hundred miles or so of air, it would penetrate the stoutest roof or wall, and if as large as some others that have been known to reach the earth, ?it would ^demolish a 20-story building more effectively than a whole broadside of 13-inch shells could do it. The adventures of the two great troops of meteors which are now rush ing rapidly toward the earth have been varied and startling, and the future may have still more remarkable things in store for them and for us. The Leonids (thus called because they ap pear to radiate from the constellation Leo) hold, l?ke the the Androm?des, close relations with a comet which is traveling in the same track. Every time they meet the earth they suffer violent pertubations. Besides thc millions which are con sumed with fire in the air, other mil lions are whirled into new paths and drawn out into streams like eddying leaves in a storm. In 1833 a particularly dense mass encountered the globe [and the result was a spectacle that carried terror broadcast over the world, the greatest excitement being produced on the plantations of our Southern States, where the negro slaves believed that the cod of the world was upon them, while their white masters could not give them the assurance that their 1 fears were not well founded. All ac counts agree that this universal amazement on the 13th of November o? 1833 was such as the world has very rarely experienced. In 1886, when the earth next en countered the Leonid meteors, the display was magnificent, but not so overwhelming as in 1833. Brilliant showers were seen in the years imme diately proceeding and followi g lHG??, and this fact is a principal reason for expecting a display this year. Whether wc shall now encounter a compact column of meteors or a comparatively scattered mas* no one can foretell, but that many will bc seen may l?c regarded as a certainty. M ven the precise time when the most brilliant spectacle will be presented is not known. The Harvard College Obser vatory advises watchers to begin their vigil about ll o'clock on thc evening of November ll and keep it up until thc stars fade in the morning twilight on November 15. One circumstance will be especially favorable for a brilliant display: The moon, being new, will not interfere with its light. The moon, too, will be involved in the shower. Being without any appreciable atmosphere, its surface will have no protection against the hail of meteors, and the spectacle of their striking, if we could witness it near by, probably would astonish us beyond measure. As to peril from meteors, it should be said that the most dangerous kind apparently do not belong to any well known swarm, but travel independent ly through space and strike, unan nounced, into the atmosphere. Such meteors frequently reach the ground, and people have on rare occasions been killed by them. But among the hun dreds of thousands of meteors that filled the sky as thick as snowflakes in 1833, 1866, 1872 and 1885, only one (the Mazapil iron) was seen to strike the earth, and there is doubt whether that one belonged to the swarm or came along independently of it.

The patient I rafer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, with more beneficial results than from months spent at the different noted lithia springs in different parts of the Uni ted States, besides long continued use of the same waters at home, other of my pa tients and friends are now using the same with best results.
