In view of the fact that ho had recently made a tour of the~saloons, gambling houses and disreputable places of this city and Omaha, this announcement was taken by many to menn that he would give a detailed account of what he saw on the trip. The result waus that the tabernacle was full to overfowing with people of every class. Many who had uot been to church before in years were present, hoping to see if the impression made by these various things on the pastor's mind was anything like that made on their own But all who expected to hear anything ex- trewely sensationul were destiued o be dis- appointed.

The truth is at no time in that cele- brated campaign from the Rapidan to the James and tothe ‘Crater’ had he been deceived by Grant in any waterial matter, But 1o clearly the military standing of the two in ovder ate appre more May 30, 18G4 it will be we fly the campaign of 1864, ‘Wildernes 10 the James river, when ‘Grant first escaped from the constant menace of the Army of Northern Virginia, which had con- fronted him utevery strategic point, and over whose bayonets he could not ride. “In March, 1864, Grant, by the suc- cesses his genius had won, was com- mander-in-chief of the federal arm: then numbering, perhaps, 2,000,000 men. Beauregard, Joe Johnson and Lee, with the Army of Northern Virginia, had de- feated every attempt upon the confede ate capital against great odds, and the north was getting wenry of the struggle, while some of .the most hopeful had be- gun to despair of success, “After months of preparation the Army of the Potomac, the finest army in point of number and equipment ever as- sembled on this hemisphere, was under Grant, ready to move upon Richmond to end the war' in one short campaign. “Crossing the Rapidan river on May 3and 4, some fifteen or twenty miles | above Fredericksburg, Va., it found | itself confronted on the south side by | the'Army of Northern Virginia under Lee, commander-insehief of the confed- erate arm! 3 The strength «0f the army under Grant on Ma, 1864, accordi to the report of the United S céretary of armies on 1 to review 1 from the es war, was 141,160 ‘men, inciuding the Ninth army corps, 20,780 strong.

At the opening of the campaign in the early pact of May, 1864, Lee had no reserve he could draw from, and, unaided, he was compelled to meet in battle nearly three times his number day after day, from the Rupidan to the James, “The head of Grant'’s columu had no sooner stuck its nose into the ‘Wilder- ness’ than Lee met him upon Grant's | own chosen ground and attacked him. On the 5th and 6th were fought two des- perate pitched battles (in open field and woodland, and with no intrenchments), knownas the battle of the ‘Wilderness, “This battle raged, ebbing and flow- ing like the mighty tides of the great ocean: now one side advancing and then the other, swaying to und fro as the | forests bent and waved uunder the shift- | ing winds of heaven. “They were * swaths of fire and ¢ other’s ranks: ¢ in the ans,’ culting wide cath - each into the rging and vetiring to rest their bleeding columns from the harvest of death around them and to close up the gups plowed through their serried columns, 1t wonderful that the Army of Northe Virginia was not annihilated, ‘leaving not a rack behind,’ and that it did not find in the ‘Wilderness' its fu- neral pyre, as the Spartans under Leon- idas had done at Thermopyii, A Military Rooster, ‘Who would think that a rooster could become a great pet on board ship? But on the flagship Chicago, the man-of-war which last spring traveled almost 6,000 mile to get home for the Columbian naval parade, sags St. Nicholas, there was a rooster that was the pet of all the men on hoard ship. He was bought in the West Indies on the way to Monte- viden, and was intended tor the Christ- mas dinner, but his great cheerfulness, as shown by his hearty crowing in the most unseasonable weather, won him his life. After his liberty had heen given to him, and he had become fairly tame, he noticed one day another very proud rooster ina polished brass ventilator which stands on the quarter deck. He immediately put on his proudest air; then, noticing that the other rooster did the same, he stepped closer to inquive, and soon found himself glaving pug- naciously at that other fellow, who scemed quite as defigutas himself, From looks it came to+blows, and soon our rooster was indignantly fighting his own reflection, Oceasionally he would strike the ventilator a very hard blow with his billand be thrown back much aston- ished, only to return to the attack when he noticed that his.enemy apparently retreated, D his was kept up atintervals for sev- eral weeks, until the rooster learned that more hard knocks than glory were to be got by keeping up the feud. en now, after many months on board, he occasionally renews the attack, but in a half-hearted way, as'if he knew he was doing something sillyi His name is *'Dick,"and when there is food ahead he answers to it like a gentleman, At Ensenada, in the Ar- gentine Republic, the Chicago lay along- side the dock in the Grand canal, and Dick was allowed to run on shore and pick up what he could find. He never strayed far from the gangway, and would come proudly strutting back when called on board by one of the men, He is & very pugnacious bird, and in Ensenada started a fight between a dog and himself.

During the campaign against the hostile Siouy in Dakota in the win- ter of 180091 eleven guns were used Just previous to the first hattle, that of Wonided Knee creck, Colonel of the Seventh eavalry stationed four of them on & littlo hill in the rear of the line. When the Indians neked the troops a deadly fire of canister was poured in at short range, and this, aided by the bullets from the cavalry carbine soon caused the enemy to brewk and ran The artillery fi was kept up with effect on even single In dians on their ponies. Durving the lat- ter part of the engagement twelve or fifteen Indians took refuge inw cave, from which they fired upon the troops. Although over 1,000 yards away they were soon observed and two or three well-aimed shells soon dislodged them. When Colonel Heney's wagon train was attacked the Hotehkiss guns again helped to beat off the cnemy, and a few hours later, at the Mission fight, thoy rendered signil assistan An oye- witness relates that during this light about forty Indians took possession of a log house, using it as a safe retreat from which to fire upon the cavalry, 'l shells from the two Hotehkiss oins soon set the house on five and killed mest of the occupants. On another part of the ficld & party of Indians seized @ wagon, and while one of their nimber drove it rapidly along the front of the troons the others fired upon them with their Win- chesters. The fire was very annoying, and the Indians grew more jubilant every moment, but when the Hotehkiss guns found the range of their moving turget Rhey poured in such a storm of shells that in less time than it takes to tell it Indians, wagons and horses were od i1 & mass upon the ground. 'he gun itself, without the § weighs 121 pounds. 1t is made of steel is forty-six inches long and h: caliber of 165 inches. The bore of the piece extends completely throngh it, from one end to the other. A few inches from the rear end a slot, with a square cross- section, is cut through the piece, hori- zontully and at right angles to the bore. In this slot works the breach block. The piece having been fired a backward movement of the lever on the vight draws the block partially out and the empty cartridge case is at the same lime extracted and_ejected, The projectile may be either shell or canistc The shell is made of cast iron, with a bursting chavge in- side and a percussion fuse at the point. When the motion -is ar- rested by striking an animate or inanimate object the fuse explodes the charge and the fragments of ivon ave scattered in all directions. The powder of the shell is ample to pierce brick or stone walls up to a distance of 4,000 s or over two miles, the percission fuse acting with certainty after passing through the obstruction. When the range is less than 500 y canister is more effective. This kind of projectile is simply w number of hardened lead balls contained in a thin metallic case.
