When I got Imi'k to Chnttiiiion
gtt with the wnpons. 1 put n ollhi-n
tonmster In uhnrge of the wiismis nml
mules.
"Tho teamster, lieln it given liniiil.
did not know thnt mules would ent
anything within their reach and Inno
cently tied them to the wheels of the
wngons. Not lung after that 1 got nn
order to be ready to march, and on go
ing out to Inspect my outfit I found
that tho mules had eaten the spokes of
tho wheels nearly off. so that the wag
ons were ready to fnll down of their
own accord. As I could not use them
I had no recourse but to drop them
from my returns, and, being obliged to
assign a reason for so dropping them. I
gnve tho true one viz. 'Eaton by
mules.'
"Shortly afterward 1 got n letter
from the ipint termnster general sarcas
tically Inquiring If Lieutenant I'itch
had observed whether the mules had
eaten the tires or not. I replied that I
presumed they had, as they seemed to
bo thoroughly tired the next day. Tho
quartermaster general wrote back,
'Any further trilling with this depart
ment on the pirt of Lieutenant I'itch
will probably result In his being retired
to private life.' Thereupon 1 dropped
tho subject, but my tirst report was
correct."
"At Cbtcknmnngn," said tho major,
"Longstrcet's men ran over our head
quarters tennis. I-'.very mule lu one of
the teams went down, nnd the wagon
stood an obstruction In the road. Five
minutes Inter every mule was on Its
feet, and a wounded teamster yelled at
them to pull out. They started without
more ado, swept along the road nfter
our broken regiments and, turning nt
. Just the right point, enme Into our new
lines and stopped where the headquar
ters flag bad been stuck In the ground.
The driver reported Inter nnd drove In
to Chattanooga.
"One of these mules the night beforo
had pulled the blanket olT our division
commander, hnd run over the lines of
soldiers sleeping In close battle order,
bad raided the Confederate pickets nnd
bad returned to our bivouac under a
furious fire. The men of the brlgnde
took a solemn vow to shoot the mis
chievous mule nt daylight, but when
daylight came they hnd other things to
sboot at, and the mule was forgotten
until he came In at the head of the
team attached to the headquarters
wagon. Then the boys who bad wit
nessed the charge and the escape of the
drlverless team counted the mule's dev
iltry as nothing."
"That charge of Longstreet, by the
way," said the colonel, "was one of the
great charges of the war, and it was ns
successful as any as a breaker of lines.
Of course we think of Pickett's charge
at Gettysburg In a class to Itself, but I
nave often wondered whether the
Union assault on the Confederate posi
tion at Kenesaw mountain June 27,
1804, should not be put In the list with
the Confederate charge at Gettysburg.
Pickett's charge was of course the
more spectacular, and the assaulting
force was more compact, but wbile It
broke the Union line at one point It
was driven bnck In disastrous retreat,
"The direct assault ou the fortified
line on Kenesaw was made by three
brigades, no better troops tlinn Pick
ett's Virginians, but It must be remem
bered that while they failed to pierce
the Confederate Hue they held their po
sition and did not retreat. Their loss
wss correspondingly kg heavy as Pick
ett's at Oettsburg. Sherman's Idea wns
to show bis own army as well as the
Confederate army that be could make
frontal attack. If the assault tind
been made and tbe assaulting column
bad retired, as did Pickett's column nt
Gettysburg, the effect on the army
would not have been as it wns when
tbe regiments that led the assault clung
to tbelr position not more than ;iu paces
from the Confederate parapets
"Tbe attack tailed except in lliot It
was an Illustration of the spirit ol Hie
Union troops in assault. Lee's purpose
at Gettysburg wns undoubtedly to
drive Pickett's lu.uoo men like a wedge
through tbe Union lines. The failure
of tbe attempt led to the retreat or I In
whole Confederate army. Sherman's
purpose at Kenesaw was to capture
tbe Confederate roil I Heat Ions. The at
tack let to tbe retreul not of Sherman's
lirmy, but of tbe Confederate army.
ud I bovvalwuys held that tbe ground
over which tbe Union regiments of
that day swept forward ought to be as
precious to the men of McCook's. Mar
ker's and Mitchell's brigades as Is tbe
ground at Gettysburg to tbe men of
Pickett's brlgudes." Chicago Inter

RIDING ON AN AVALANCHE. I
Down Strrp Cnnynn Wlthont it
limine or n Sear,
few mountaineers go far enough
Into the avalanche regions to see much
of tliein, and fewer still know the
thrilling exhilaration of riding on
then), says .tohn Mulr In The Atlantic.
In nil my wild mountaineering I have
enjoyed only one nvnla:icho ride, and
the start was so sudden nnd tho end
came so soon I thought but littlo of
the danger thnt goes with this sort of
travel, though one thinks fast at such
times.
One calm, bright morning In V'osemlte,
after a hearty storm had given three
or four feet of fresh snow to tho moun
tains, being eager to see ns many
avalanches as possible nnd gain wide
views of the peaks and forests array
ed In their new robes before tho sun
shine laid time to change or rearrange
them. 1 set out early to climb by n sldo
canyon to the top of a commanding
ridge n little over 3,000 feet above the
vnllc.V. Hut I was not to get top views
of nny sort that day. but Instead of
these something quite different, for
deep trampling near the canyon head
where the snow was strained started
nn avalanche, and 1 wns swished back
down to the foot of tho canyon ns If by
enchantment. Tho plodding, wallow
ing ascent of about a mile had taken
nil day, the undoing descent perhaps
about a minute.
When the snow suddenly gave wny,
I Instinctively threw myself on my
back and spread my arms to try to
keep from sinking. Fortunately,
though tho grade of the canyon was
steels It was not Interrupted by step
levels or precipices big enough to
canso outboumllng or free plunging,
tin no part of the rush was I burled.
I was only moderately Imbedded on
the surface or a little below It and
covered with n hissing bnck streaming
veil, nnd ns the whole mass beneath
or nbout mo Joined In the flight I felt
no friction, though tossed here and
there and lurched from side to side,
and when the torrent wedged nnd
enme to rest I found myself on the top
of the crumpled pile, without a sluglo
bruise or senr.
Hawthorne says that steam has spir
itualized travel, notwithstanding the
smoke, friction, smells and clatter of
bont and rail tiding. This (light In a
milky way of snow flowers wns tho
most spiritual of nil my travels, and
after many years the mere thought of
it Is still an exhilaration.
CURIOUS PRIVILEGES.
Same of the I'rcrnitntlves Which Em
tinssmlors Mar Eserclse,
A curious privilege of nn embassador
is thnt be nnd be nlone when dismiss
ed mny turn bis back to the sovereign
to whose court he Is accredited. Tbe
mode of procedure Is ns follows:
When the embassador's audience Is
over, be waits to be dismissed by the
sovereign. When dismissed, the em
bassador bows, retires three paces,
bows again, retires another three
paces, bows a third time, turns on his
Iieels nnd walks to the folding doors.
Rut It Is felt that more polite methods
should obtain when the reigning sov
ereign Is a woman. To turn his back
Is to be discourteous, to walk back
ward Is to resign n privilege. The em
bassador retires sideways, like a crnb.
lie keeps one eye on the sovereign and
with the other tries to see the door.
He thus shows politeness to the sov
ereign nnd at the same time retains
one of his privileges. As the embassa
dor Is usually an old gentleman, often
short sighted, be sometimes fnlls to
reach tbe door and comes In collision
with the wall.
Another privilege of embassadors Is
tbe right of being ushered Into the
royal presence through folding doors,
both of which must be flung wldo
open. No one except an embassador
can claim this privilege. The most
any nonembussndorlal person can ex
pect Is thnt one of the leaves shall be
opened to blm. The renson for this
privilege Is not known. There are cer
tain Irreverent suggestions that have
been made, but we prefer to be silent
with regard to them.
Another privilege, capable of causing
great Inconvenience, Is the embassa
dor's right of admission to tho sov
ereign nt nny hour of the day or night

The Troe Mission of Lginrr,
No luxury Is Justifiable that ends In
simple enjoyment. It must be turned
to good account by adding to our pow
ers of usefulness. It we enjoy reading,
are we enthusiastic for the public libra
ry? If we enjoy outdoor life, are we
noxious for parks and pleasure
grounds ror the people ir we revel In
art or music, do we long that picture
galleries be thrown open or good music
be attainable by all? Do we strive
whenever possible to share our luxu
ries, whatever tbey may be. with those
less favored than ourselves, or are we
nt lulled wltb our own enjoyment as an
end Instead of using It as a means to
bettering the lives of others also?
Truthful answers to those questions
will speedily tell us also whether our
own special luxuries are building up
character and lire or whether they are

William M. Kvarts wns a marvel of
Intellectual vitality to nu advanced
age, nnd he used to explain It by say
ing thnt he slept late In the morning
and never took nny exercise. There
Is no advantage In getting up early In
tho morning If you need tho sleep.
Jinny a man Is burning the caudle at
both ends by getting up nt nu early
hour simply because his housekeeping
Is ndjustcd to that programme. As to
physical exercise. Mr. Kvarts had dis
covered for himself what our physiolo
gists are now beginning to tench -namely,
that if a man consumes tissue
In hard Intellectual work the wny to
repair the loss Is by resting and not
by consuming more tissue lu physical
exercise. To the majority of brain
workers oxygenation of the blood is
nr more Important than physical exer
cise, and there lire two very good wa s
to secure that: Sleep with your bi .l
room window wide open In summer
and winter, nnd. If you can afford it,
