As is well known now, telegraph
operators were at a premium in the
confederacy during tho war of H(51

Confedrato Veterans and Colonel
"Philip II. Fall, Houston, Tex., on
'louerai S. 1>. Lee's staff, United Con
federate Veterans, early enlisted at
'Viok.'burg, one in an artillery oom
pany and tho other in the Vioksburg
Southrons company. They were Boon
fouud out and detailed fot telegraph
vwork. Tho writer has recently oomo
in possession of some interesting
minutiae of their work; whioh played
m important part in preventing tho
almost complete surpriso of the con
f?d?rale army at Vicksburg in Decem
ber, 18G2, and being personally cog
nisant of tho inoident of tho breaking
up of tho dance or ball Christmas eve,
1862, at Vicksburg, he feels it ?b duo
Co tho two operators to put on record
their valuablo service. It brings out,
too, t'ue important part played by the
tolepraph in war, and how the mnl
scoutiiirf du?y in many ways wnH per
formed. Tho operators fr?quent y
oran -great risks and endured many
hardships in common with the sol
'dicrs in campaign. Tho inoident,
>too, gives an insight into tho vigilance
of both armies in that mighty strug
gle.
The seoond campaign organised to
oapturo Vioksburg was ably launahed.
The confederate army of Gcnsra! Van
3orn, recently defeated at Corinth,
was at Grenada, Miss., about 22,000
-strong- while Geuoral Grant's union
army, about 30,000 strong, was below
Oxford, Miss. General Grant was to
attack Van Dorn, and if ho wont to
the assistance of Vioksburg ho was to
'follow him up by Jackson or Yazoo
City toward Viokuburg. General
Sherman at tho eamo time organized J
-an army of 32,000 men and sixty pieoes
-of artillery, whioh, with Admiral
/Porter's Mississippi gunboat fleet and
-Homo seventy transports, was to move
rapidly down the Mississippi river and
aattaok and capture Vioksburg before
She /g?rrison (6,000 strong) oould be
.-reinforced. The part General Grant
'was to play was frustrated by General
Forrest, who raided into west Tennes
see and tore up the railroads supply
ing Grant's army, while at the same
" time General Van Dorn with confed
erate cavalry captured Holly Springs
^rith its accumulated supplies', de
stroying them. This necessitated
General Grau Va falling back through
'-ihe 'country to Memphis to feed his
^rtuj. General Sb?raian, however,
-was n*ot apprised of General Grant's
troubles, and he got safely off from
'^Memphis, December 20, with the
greatest anny and flotilla with gun
(boats combined escorting, known at
kfcat time in tho war. He arrived at
( the mouth of the Yazoo river near
icksburg Christmas day, proceeded
pthe Yazoo river and disembarked
is army Deoember 26 and 27, 1862,
nd attempted to roach the bluffs near
ho city of Vioksburg. There was
evere fighting on December 27, 28,
d -on the 29th he was defeated at
hidkasaw bayou, 6 miles from Vioks
rg, with a loBB of about 2,000 men,
reembarked hie army and left the
oinity of Vioksburg.

28, 1904, to l\ H. Fall, at Houston
I Texas, and transmitted to lue, says:
'Major Karuhart, after telling nie
of the danger of a picket outpost, ask
ed tue to go to l'oint Lookout, La., 11
miles below Lake Providence arid G5
miles above Vicksburg, the terminus
of the little private telegraph line
owned by that rich planter, Horace H.
Tibbotts, and you (Philip II. Fall)
wore stationod at the Vicksburg end
of it . that is at Do Soto, just across
the river, aud I was strictly instructed
to watch the river day and night and
report to you morning and evening.
And it was Christmas eve, about 8:45
p. ni., dear old Major K. G. Earnhart
_anil I were in our 'eerie' playing 'old
sledge,' when a little girl, who iived
on the place, came in and said, 'Marso
Aiohart, you aud Marse Daniels better
cotuc out hero, I hears a boat com ing.
'Come now,' says iho Major, 'you arc
dreaming, Artay,' 'No, sah, 1 beers
it Hay choo, choo, pat, pat, pat.' Thus
illustrating 'the steam escapo and pat
of tho wheels. We went on tho porch,
and listened intently; the sounds which
wo bad not heard for months wore just
audible, the little one's acute ears had
detected it miles away. Major Earn
bartand I were smoking, Indian fash
ion, a largo merchaum pipe (owned
jointlj). We ran to tho river bank
about one-third of a mile from oar
watch house, and waited porhapa thir
ty minutes. Wo could hear tho
panting and pa?, pat, dircetly a mon
ster tarued ' the bend", 2 miles abov<?
us, hud oaiuu sluffly as if fooling tho
way. It was tho gunboat. I was
ready to send the news to you (Fall),
but no?'hello, major, hore comos
anolner,' this in a whisper; just then
some sparks flow out of the major's
pipe, and I grabbed tho pipe and ex
tinguished the Are, telling him those
-would fire a volley ab tho oraok
of a match. By now the largo black
devil was abreast of us, in oasy gun
shot from our double barrels, but sui
cida to fire. Wo counted, oounted in
all, Bcvon gunboats, fifty-nine trans
porta loaded with blue ooatB.
"It was a dark cloudy night, cold
and drizly; juot as Boon as we were
satisfied ice last one was by, I jump
ed on my little bay filly and fairly
flow to the telegraph office, three miles
baok in the woods, and bogan oalling
I you. This was just after midnight,
I was so agitated at the prospeot of
the cipture of my dear old home,
Viokaburg, before I oould give the
alarm, that I thought it was almost
daybreak when you answered; I was
simply frantic; now the fact is and
after I called you but about twenty
j seven seconds. You were right there
I and siid: G oily, old fellow, what's
up? Then it was for you to get frus
trated, I gave yon the fullest infor
mation possible in the fewest words
possible, and they are indellible in
my brain this hour. 'Great God,
Phil, where have you been? I have
boon calling (I am afraid half an hour
instead of) half a minute, and the riv
er is lined with boats, almost a hun
dred has just passed my lookout.
Soven ganboats and fifty-nine trans
ports obook full of mon. God speed
you, rush across and give the alarm.'
You said: 'God bless you, Lee, bye
bye, we may never moot again. You
can boot toll the romainder on your
end, for after a short nap, I went
again to the little telegraph hut end
tried the oirouit, but no battery.
And I learned some time afterwards
that the huge flotilla lnnded at various
points below, vis: -Omega, Millikens
Bond and Young's Point, and out
down the poles for a mile and chopped
the wires into bits.
"Major Earohart bidding farewell
(his wife, two little daughters, myself
and wife), rode rapidly through the
awful muddy swamps to the hills,
then to Delhi and wired the t ews to
General Kirby Smith, General John
G. Walker and others. History has
the iooident, but the minutiae inter
ests but ourselves and families and
friends. Next morning I was preparing
to shoot some ducks near the house,
whon my wife came to the ; porch and
said: 'Look,gLcol quick*. Of course,
I looked for ducks or geese, but dis
covered drakes and ganders in some
sixty bloc coated cavalry approaching
from the north. I learned that two
regiments had landed at Lake Provi
dence and picketed tho country for
miles. This leader, Lieutenant
Thompson, of Kansas, jay-hawkers,
halted at the gate/ called mo with
arroy oolt sixahooter cooked, held
menaoiugly at my anatomy, While in
terrogating me. Question after ques
tion plied and answered promptly
Tho interview ended by: 'Young fel
low, you ate truthful, our army ft fully
posted on everything for a hundred
miles, and you have answered mo oor
reotly; one 'lie would haw laid you
out; now you at? my prisoner. I want
your telegraph instrumente and all
records and jour shotgun with bay*
oncl; and don't you try to oscape, for
death is sure.' Well, wo were ail
hold prisoners on the plantation from
December 1802, until the 29th of
June, 1S(J;?, when Mujor Karnhnrt
with two Kjuads of cavalry, headed by
(jouerai Tom Harmon and Colouel W.
II. Parsons, camo in from the hills,
cleaned out the guards and took us to
Delhi."
Colonel Falls tells the balance:
"Christmas eve, the night of the
ball, was a tempestuous night, and I
was in dread of my red light being ex
tinguished by the high waves. The
Mississippi was very rough; had my
light gone out our batteries would
have annihilated me, but with what
information us I possessed I would
have made the attempt in face of cur
tain doath. A half huur after Dan
iel, at Lake Providence, gave me the
news, it was imparted to General
Smith. No courier could have come
75 miles in half an hour. ? was mud
dy and woebegoucas I passed through
the dancers and they gave me a wide
berth, when I stepped in front of Gen
cral Smith, ho ecunocd mc critically
and frowned with tho exolaination:
'Well, sir, what do you want?' I told
him eiyhty-one gunboats andtransports
had passed Lake Providence and wcro
still passing, lie turned very} pale,
and in a loud voice exclaimed: 'This
ball is at au end; the enemy are com
ing down tho river, all non-combatants
must leave the city.' lie-had prononce
of mind enough to thank mo and apol
ogize at tho harsh tones. In regard
to his report, I see no mention at) to
how he got his information. I sup
pose ho lost sight of me in the excite
ment following. I reoeived a letter
somotimo ago from James Roach, of
Vicksburg, reminding me of how I
broke up the ball that never to be for
gotten night."
The details ns are given above by
the two participants arc essentially
correct. My rcoollrotinn is distinct
as to this ball, and ita sudden oollapse
soon after midnight, December 24,
by the arrival of the bearer of the im
portant information. The writer on
Christmas day moved out of Vicks
burg with six regiments of infantry
and two batteries to oheok General
Sherman in his landing on tho Yasoo
river, 13 miles distant. On December
29 was fought tho decisive battle of
Chiokasaw Bayou, which compelled
General Sherman to turn baok his
army and abandon the attaok on the
city. The movement on Christmas
day was the result of the telegram sent
by Daniel near Lake Providence
and reoeived -by Fall at De Soto,
La,, and delivered to General Smith
at the ball in the oity of Vioks
burg. . Stephen D. Lee..
To Return a Gun.
A rather pretty little story has just
developed in the past few days, in
whiob Bishop Capers takes a part
and whioh brings baok recollections of
the days of 1861-1865 in a very vivid
manner. The story has in it the cap
ture of a Federal prisoner by the
bishop, thon an officer in the Third
South Carolina regiment, and the
part played by other members of the
same regiment, tho names of whom
have been forgotten *by all.
The incident happened on James
Island when a detachment of soldiers
from the various South Carolina com
panies, just rained, were stationed
there. Bishop 'Capers and three sol
diers were coming over from the head
quarters of tho officers toward the
line where son tries h nd been thrown
out.
Just across the line a Northern j sol
dier waa seen and it was ?vident that
they had landed ior aome purpose
not for the good of the men on the
island who wore the grey. He was
approached se rapidly that he had no
ohanoe to escape and told to Barten
der. There was some parley at first as
the man? evidently a bravo soldier,
did not wish to bo taken in this way
without having a ohanoo for a fight,
but the folly of such proc?dure waB
quiokly shown and he turned over
his gun and mar oh cd baok to camp.
. The gun was kept by Bishop Capers
for years and several efforts we're
made to find ita owner. Finally ly
searching over the records it wag
found that the gun belonged to como
member of the Firat Conn?otiout Vol
unteers. From there the tracing was
a little easier and finally the man who
owned the gun was located. His
name is Francis G. Copo and ho lives
in a small town in Connections The.
gun is now being fixed up and will be
returned by the bishop at once. It is

most a breeoh loaded, which shot ?

an explosive bullet.?-Colombia fie

urive just come iu frotu a ride around
the front. It 'ran uearly a mile to the
extreme front through fields of cut
kaolin, the giunt millet of Maoohurin,
which is being rapidly burnt for fuel.
Whole villages of Chinese huts have
been gutted of every particle of wood
work for the sauio purpose and nearly
the whole of the army is living under
ground, where body heat ha? tu ?ervo
instead of fires, und with th'n-c who
can aiford fires at ail a little fuel has
to go a long ways.
The men havo plenty of tea and
they aro fairly well fed, but fresh
meat is a luxury that is not to be
neglected at any juncture, and sud
dooly, while we were talking to some
officers at au extensive encampment,
some frosh meat made its appear
ance.
There was a row toward the for
ward lino of trenches that might hive
presaged n Japanese attack, and we
rushed to a knoll that commanded a
view. There, from a seemingly deser
ted Chinese hat, rushed a half grown
pig, a shout of tho Manohurian razor
back variety.
After it went a Cossack in hot pur
suit. Other Cossacko joined the
chase, but the pig, threading the
trenches, gained the open ground
and headed for the Japanese lines,
less than 400 yards away.
lleckless of death or anything else,
six Cossaoks dashed in pursuit, with
their long brown costs tuoked about
their waists. Bat the pig had the
legs of them, and with car-piercing
shrieks headed across the imaginary
line and charged the Japanese posi
tion.
The opposite hill nlopo had been to
all appearanoes vacant and silent as
the grave, but s hidden irisch d??.
denly give up a party of Japanese,
and away they went after the pie.
Tue Cossaoks stopped, und the
Japanese headed the pig diagonally
back toward the Bussian lines. They
did not oatoh it, but a' fresh relay of
Russians took up the ohase and the
pig veered over again to the Japa
nese.
Not a shot was fired all this time,
and the Japanese and Cossaoks stood
within 100 paces of eaoh other in the
open, laughing ab eaoh other's non
succeBB and hurling maledictions after
the pig.
The last we saw of it the pig was
keeping strictly to the neutral strip
between the two forces and heading
westward in the direction of the Liao
river.?New York Times.

Fox Killed by a Rooster.
When once an animal's temper
has become thoroughly aroused it
is strange how utterly regardless it
becomes of the strength and ability
of the object of its anger.
At Compton Pauncefote, in Som
ersetshire, a fox ,was killed in a
poultry yard by an infuriated cock.
It appears that the fox made a raid
on the young chicks and after kill
ing several belonging to certain
hens turned its attention to the
brood of another. |j This conduct,
however, the plucky cock would not
permit without a struggle, and,
rushing at the fox, it was fortunate
enough to pierce it in the eye with
its spur with such force that the
spur penetrated right into the fox's
brain, becoming" so securely, fixed
that the victor could not remove it
without the assistance of a farm la
borer, who had been an interested
spectator of the contest .between the
ill assorted pair.?London Answers.

the future of no child is more ab^?j
lately in the keeping of its father adj

The nervous ohild is often dtffioult |

the tension of its nervous system, and
more severe punishment, which the

There are two types of nervous chil
