Buell’s “Shiloh Reviewed” in tho Century we quote as follows: “Nowhere in history is the profane idea that in tf fair field fight, Providence is on the side of the strongest battalions, more uniformly sustained than in our civil war. It presents no example of the triumph of 15,000 or even 20,000 men against 25,000. It affords some such instances where the stronger force was surprised by rapid and unexpected movements, and still others where it was directed with a want of skill against chosen positions strength- cncd by the art of defence; but nowhere else. The weaker force is uniformly de- feated or compelled to retire.” Unable to Tell. “Hello, Ned! You’ve been getting married, have you?” “Guess I have, Tom.” “Good move, I suppose? Father-in- law well off?” “I hope so.” “Hope so! Why, don’t you know?” “Nothing definite.
