John A.'Joyce, the following extract is taken: An as- saulting column of 2,000 vetran soldiers, commanded by General McLaws, was se- lected to dashed against Fort Sanders early Sunday morning, while the balance of Longstreet's command were to stand in readiness to support any lodgement the forlorn hope might secure. Brave hearts beating high with hope stood ready to charge to the death in the first dawn of that fatal Sunday morning: During the night information was brought to Gen. Burnside of the contem- plated attack. Action was immediately taken; additional troops were silently sent to the support of the fort, and the breastworks to the right and left of it wero filled with men, who rested on their arms in anticipation of assault. My, Hoxie, superintendent of the rail- road,in emergency thought of a Yan- eo trick® and suggested to Capt. Poe, chief engincer, that a lot of loose tele- graph wire be utilized to trip up the charging enemy in their dash on the fort. ‘The ditch in front of the bastoned work was eight feet deep and twelve feet wide. Jutting angles with close embrasures con- tainined heavy guns loaded with grape and cannister, shot and shell. The wire was trailed zigzag around the stumps and through the grass that mar- imsdpflm pits in front of t?le fort, Lieut. enjamin commanded the artillery in the fort, and did splendid work. About 2,000 dashed on the earthworks with all the confidence of victory; but just as they neared the deep broad ditch, they began o stumble, and many were pitched head- long into the jaws of death, the double- shotted guns were touched off and a per- fect pandemonium - prevailed in the bloody, torn ranks of gallant beseigers, who climbed over the forms of their dying comrades up the steep sides of the fort, which still belched forth certain death to the struggling mass of devoted heroes. Blood and bone, combined with noble daring, was not suflicienc to overcome the heroic conduct of our soldiers, the unfor- seen wire entanglement, and the terrible cannon and musketry fire that poured a blaze of death into the very face of the assaulting column. A short half hour found the confederato herces dead and dying in the ditch, which van with human blood, Ouat of the assauliing brigade, 1,000 men had been killed, wounded or captured, while the union loss was only four killed and eleven wounded, colo- nel of a Cleorgin regiment was in com- mand of the forlorn hope, and, strange to say, he succoeden in climbing the step side of the fort, and ‘planting the ‘‘Stars and Bars” in the very teeth of our men.

It is endorsed by leading professional men as well as by eninent physicians and others, Try it. —— THEY WERE INNOCE How an old Couple Undressed in a Car, Cincinnati Enqulrer. Very amusing incidents sometimes hap- pen in sleeping-cars, owing to the ignor- ance of untraveled people as to utilizing, etc. An occurrence of this kind took place on the Bee Line a few days since, which caused some_consternation among the ladies and considerable amusement to the male passengers. A nice-looking old couple wero seated in one of the sections of the New York slecper, and, beyond being a little restless, attracted no special attention until after leaving the Grand Central station, Immediately after the train pulled out the old gentleman stop- ped a brakeman who happened to be go- ing through the train and told him that they wanted to go to bed. He was re- forred to the colored autocrat who pre- sides over that department and gives an able imitation of a man blacking boots. After some little talk the old gentleman explained his wants and the berth was made up. Ho then wanted to know where the dressing-room was located, and the ladies’ dressing-room being pointed out, both he and his wife eatered. Al- though this was a rather unusual pro- ceeding, nothing was said about it, and as the train leaves about 6 o'clock in the evening and it was a little too early to go to sleep, the balance of the passengers distributed themselves around the car and nothing more was thought of the old couple until a slam of the door and a snort of laughter from some innocent youth attracted the attention of all the occupants of the cer toa grand triumphal march executed by the old people from the dressing-room to their berth. They had disrobed in the ladies’ dressing-room, and the oul lady had apparently nothing o on but her robe de nuit and and a night- cap, and the old gentleman brought up the rear with his clothesand those belong- ing to his wife in his arms, being almost completely hid in a mass of female attire not generally exposed to public gaze, It is needless to say that the genuine inno- eence of the old couple in the whole mat ter was so apparent that it protected them from any rude comment, but after they bad piped down it kept the passengers i1 a smiling mood the balance of the trip, e —— “Meno sana iu corpore sano.” ‘A sound mind in a sound body” ishe trade mark of Allen’s Brain Food, and w e assure our reader; that, if dissatistied with either weakness or Brain or bodily powers, this remedy will per- wanently streugthen both, %1, At drug- Bists, near his father's farm had put him on th road, and theold folks were furiow That was about 20 years ago, There is| —— A euml‘nny stands ready to give Mus- catine the electric light, if sufficient patronage can he guaranteed, in that Penitentiary 20 month | & p 1 | o need to toltow - the b y in his course. | | | | | Furniture! = CHARLES SHIVERICK, BETo., Have just received a large quantity of new CELADNMESEIIR STWETSS, AND AM OFFERING THEM AT VERY LOW PRICES 'PASSENGER ELEVATOR 1[,'HAS, SHIVERICK, | 1206, 1208 nd 1210 FarnamSt — OMAHA.
