Knoxville Sentinel. Gen. A. J. Vaughan not long ago visited the battlefh Id of Chicka mauga, he being otie of the park ; commiseioners, and went over the entire park, observing the location <>f the different monuments and ascertaining for himself if the spots [licked out as marking the location of the different regiments and dif ferent events in the great battle are correct. Said Gen. Vaughan : "I was particularly struck with the ground marked as having been i occupied by the Seventy-seventh I', nnsylvania regiment. Accord ing to the way the park is now laid out, it w uld appear that the Sev ■ enty-seventh Pennsylvania regi ] meat was flanked by other regi ments, and that, in fact, aa entire division was stationed there in line of battle. Now there was a very remarkable circumstance connect ed with the capture of the Seven ’ ty-soventh regiment, and I consid er it one of the most remarkable events in the whole war. It would make a good story.” Gen. Vaughan was requested to give the particulars of the affair, which he proceeded to do as fol lows : “At dark on the first day of the battle a! Chickamauga, it was de cided by the confederates that a night attack should be made upon the enemy and for that purpose Cleburne’s division was directed to march in the advance with Cheat ham following close after at a cer tain number of paces in the rear of Cleburne’s division. Dessler’s moved off in front and was follow ed by Preston Smith’s brigade, in which I was an officer. It was quite late at night when the order ‘Forward march,’ was given. It was a very dark night. Dessler’s brigade was ordered to move straight ahead, but on account of some obstacles it obliqued to the left. Our brigade, moving in the rear of Dessler’s did not deflect its course, but moved straight ahead. We had gone but a little distance when suddenly a man, who had been lying in the shade of a tree, jumped up and approached me saying: ‘Colonel, where are we? Where is the enemy located?’ “I perceived at once that this fellow was a federal, and had mis taken me for one of the officers of his regiment, and it became appar ent to me at once that the enemy were close at hand. Preston Smith was rather in advance of his men, and looking ahead of him he perceived a regiment standing out in the dark. He naturally thought it was Dessler’s brigade, and he rode up to find out the sit uation of affairs. When he got close to the regiment he was met by some of their men who, as soon as they could distinguish in the dark that he was a confederate, shot him dead. That is how Pres ton Smith lost his life. “I heard the shots fired and a bout that instant the federal sol dier who was talking to me recog nized that I was a confederate al so. Quickly drawing Lis gun he tired, but he did it so suddenly his atn was bad. The bullet passed in front of my breast and lodged in the body of john Donelson,who was on my staff. It struck his watch and drove the watch com pletely through his body. Os course he died instantly. "I ordered my men to fire at this federal, and the scattering bullets fell in a shower among the federal regiment that had killed Preston Smith. Pile Yankee regiment was in dismay. They did not know where tho firing was coming from nor how many men were doing the firing. I rode rapidly up to where the regiment was stationed and called for the commanding officer. The commanding officer came for ward and announced that the regi ment was ready to surrender. I called for the standard bearer, or dered the colors handed over to our men, and then sent a guard to march the regiment to the rear. "\i hen I visited Chickamauga I observed that the federal officers who selected the place marked as the Seventy-seventh Pennsylvania regiment that surrendered that night, had also marked the loca tion of a couple of other regiments flanking the Seventy-seventh Penn sylvania. ‘‘Now, it dues not seem possible to hie that two federal regiments could have been in that vicinity without our men meeting them, : and it does not seem probable that i the Seventy-seventh would have surrendered so easily had there been any other federal troops in that vicinity.” The way to cure catarrh is t? purify the blood, and the surest, safest, best way topuiify the blood is by taking Hocd’s Sarsaparilla, the One True Blood Purifier.

Rome, Ga., Dec., 10.—Last night in Stoffregen’s beer saloon and restaurant Frank Evans shot Will Coleman ami Coleman died at 2:30 o’clock this af ternoon from the effects of the shot. Evans and a man named Kendricks came into the restaurant, and a few minutes later young Coleman and Ev ans got into a dispute over abet. Cole man knocked Evans down, but imme diately helped him to his feet, placed him in a chair and told him he was sorry for the occurrence. As Coleman stood by Evans’ chair the latter sud denly pulled his pistol and shot Cole man. The ball struck the boy in the left side near the collar boue. At first it was not thought to be a fatal wound, but today he sank rapidly. The bullet had torn a hole in his lungs. Evans is in jail. How to Cure a Severe Cold. A few weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to bo in a most misera ble condition. It was undoubtedly a bad case of la grippe and recog nizing it as dangerous he took im mediate steps to bring about speedy cure. From the advertise ment of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom mendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is put ting it very mildly, indeed. It acted like magic and the result was a speedy and permanent cure .

An Arizona hunter, named John McCarty, has brought into Pres cott, a mummy that is believed to antedate the Indians, and is of a decidedly different type. He found it while hunting a lion, which he had treed and brought down, in the Verde canyon. In a cliff dwelling he had found a sealed chamber, 7x9 feet. Tearing it open he met a ghastly sight. It was his mummy skeleton on aso-’p weed mat with the body upright, and head erect; the long arms hanging straight down from the shoulders. In life he was about five feet seven inches high. In one hand was grasped a stone axe, in the other a bundle of barbed, flint headed arrows. As the air rushed into the vault, the rawhide shafts of the arrow-heads and the raw hide handle of the axe crumbled to ashes, as did the mat and the mantle which covered the mummy- The fine, brown hair, about two feet in length, fell from the head. In the cave were found several earthenware bowls, a tortoise shell and about SI,BOO worth of best grade turquoise in the rough, just as it was taken f rom the ledge. The pieces ranged in size from t:.e dimensions of a walnut to those of a hen’s egg.

Where the deuce is that fellow?” I had rung the bell until I was tired and out of patience, and then calk-d for him until I was out of breath, and still ho did not come. If you wint to know who I am, allow me to Inform you that my ; name is George Boomerang, better known in Frazedoua, where I Re side, as Captain Boomerang, late of the army. lam a man of con siderable wealth, own the finest house in town and keep, or did keep, a man l?y the i.ame of Sain, :whose duty it was to brush my clothes, hat and boots and adjust I my leg. - I refer to a wooden leg. The original leg ran against a cannon ball during our late unpleasant ness, and I have never seen it since. Well, it was Sam’s duty to take that wooden leg off at night and ( to be on hand in tne morning to i put it of. before I got otit of bed, and now you know I was yelling, “Sam! Sam! Sam!” And when I inform you that this was the morning of my wedding ;day perhaps you can imagine how > anxious I was to got on to my legs ' as soon as possible. i “Yes, ma’arn, I was the lucky ; fellow that had walked into the affections —on a wooden leg too — of the handsomest girl in Fraze dona and was that day to lead her to thialtar. But I must get my leg on first, and, as Sam wouldn’t or couldn’t come, I rolled out of bed and went hopping around on one foot to find my leg. Now, my dear reader, when the surgeon trimmed my stump after that little affair with the cannon ball he sawed it off uncommonly short, so perhaps you can faintly imagine my feeling when, after hopping around my room, I found what I supposed to be my leg, but, upon attempting to adjust it, dis covered that it was intended to go on below the knee. “Do wooden legs shrink? That’s just what I want to know,” said I. And then I rang the bell and called “Sam!” Well, Samuel didn’t come, but my housekeeper, Mrs. Bloom, did. “Mrs. Bloom,” I cried, “where is Sam?” She answered mo through the keyhole of the door. “He left the house last night about 11 o’clock. Took his trunk with him, and said he was going to leave town by the midnight train.” I couldn’t understand it at first. I had always used Sum -well, paid him good wages, and he seemed perfectly contented with his situa tion, and served me faithfully un til now. Suddenly an idea struck me, and the whole cause of Sam’s perfidy was revealed tome. “By heavens, it is Slympkins!” I yelled. “Slympkins is the cause of all my woe. He bribed Sam to steal my leg on this my wedding day and leave this insufficient prop in place of it.” Jim Slympkins is or was my rival. He is the only son of his father, who, by the way, is the most wealthy gentleman in Fraze dona. Consequently Jim doesn’t do anything but smoke cigars, drive round town behind his splen did grays, and devote himself to the ladies generally. I had rather have the advantage of Slympkins. To be sure, Slymp kins had or was expecting to have much more wealth than 1 could ■ boast of, but he hadn’t my face, !you know, or anything like it. I was sorry for Slympkins, but, ; Lang it, my dear sir, what could I de? If he had chosen Miss Short, M:ss Ginx, Miss Broad, or, in fact ; any one but Miss Amelia Seymour, lit would have been well. But it i was really absurd for Slympkins to suppose that I would allow him (er any other man to marry Amelia —at least while I had a wooden l‘g- I would have given Slympkins anything in reason, but it was truly ridiculous for him to think that I would give him Amelia. I l* !d h r so, and then I folded her ito my breast, and she fulded me to her breast, and I allowed her to sip the honey from my ruby I lips. Yes, I had won her, and poor i Slympkins was fairly wild with rage He had sworn to be re ; venged, but I laughed at his threats. I was seated at the breakfast ta ble sipping my coffee half an hour afterward when Mrs. Bloom came rffnhing in crying: “Oh, captain, I know all about it!” “What, the leg?’’ “Yes, I tnink so. My daughter Eliza says she saw Mr. Slympkins give Sam some money last night.” “Yes, I know it was Slympkins.” “Moro than that. Sam was married last night to Miss Sey mour’s maid, and they went off together by the 12 o’clock train.” “But, my dear woman,” said I ? “I don’t care anything about whom ho lias married or where he has gone. The question is, has he carried my leg with him?” i “Why, I’m sure I don’t know.” ■ “Well, that is just what I want to know, ma’am. This isn’t a time for trilling. You must re member that I am to be married today, and, by Jove! I want my leg!” “Why don’t you ask Slympkins for it?” “Yes, and be laughed at. No, I don’t intend to let him know any thing about the trouble he bus caused me. Besides I don’t know that ho has got it.” “But what are you going to do?” “Why just as soon as I finish my breakfast I shall go to Mr. Sey mour’s and tell him of the perfidy of my servant —and I shall take that leg to prove my statement — and, unless he objects very strong ly, I shall insist on being married upon crutches rather than to have tho wedding postponed. That would please Slympkins too much. It’s what he expects, but I’ll disap point him, by Jove 1” I finished my coffee, and going to my chamber I took the owner less leg, and wrapped it up in pa per. Then I came down, and or dering my carriage rode out to Mr. Seymour’s residence. The old gentleman met me at the door. He took no notice of my crutches. With averted face he bade me good morning and led me into the parlor. “I’m sorry, Captain Boomerang, very sorry, but the wedding will have to be postponed. “What, not on my account, I hope?” for you see I thought he had already heard of my loss. “Amelia is”— “What? My dear Amelia! Oh, has anything happened to her. Is she ill?” “It’s nothing serious, my dear captain.” “But is she ill? Oh, where is she? Let me go to her. Do let me see her!” “She’s in her boudoir. Go. Per haps you can comfort her.” I did go. I burst into the room and found her lying on the sofa. I rushed forward to clasp her in my arms, but recoiled in surprise and amazement when I saw upon the chair in front of the lounge upon which she was lying my— “ Great heavens ! Amelia, where did you get my leg?” For you see I recognized the limb instant ly- “The le — Oh, George Henry, l— l can never be your wife,” she sobbed, fixing her liquid orbs on the limb before her. “But where did you get my leg? I reiterated, at the same time un folding the paper from the short ■ one that I had brought with me. “Where did you get mine?” she [screamed, hopping up from the longue and clutching the limb that I still held in my hand. “Y urs!” I gasped. “Mine!” “Oh, this is too much!” Amelia sat down, too, and for ; about two minutes we gazed into lone another’s fac> s without speak ing a word. At last I spoke. “Oh, Amelia, Slympkins has played a cruel joke upon us! He bribed your maid and my man to ’change these limbs” “Yes, and now”—■ “But luckily we have found it. . out in time, and now the wedding; can go on as if nothing had hap pened.” "What! Would you marry mo now?” "Now!” I cried clasping her to my breast. “I'd marry you now if you hadn’t a leg to stand upon.” Then I kissed the dear crea ture, while she laid her beautiful head upon my breast and cried for j»y- In conclusion I am happy to in form the reader that tho wedding; took place at precisely 2 o’clock that day. Slympkins was not there, and I haven't seen him since, but when I do see him— well, I’ll write you about it.—Tit- Bits. POOR DIGESTION leads to a nervousness, chronic dyspepsia arid great misery. The best remedy is HOOD’S SARSAPARILLA. How He Did It. As we were waiting for the coach to Custer city I fell in with a stranger who was so pleasant of speech that I asked him to have a nip with me. Later on wo began to talk about road agents and hold ups, and I asked him if he thought the road safe. “It’s hard to say,” he replied. ‘‘You may get through all right, and then you may be held up be fore going 10 miles.” “There wi 1 be five men of us. We ought to be able to stand off a highwayman.” “Yes, unless ho gets tho drop on you.” “But if we are on the watch how can he get the drop on us?” “Why, you see —well, I can’t ex actly explain, but he will probably do it. I’m in something of a hur ry now, but should we meet again I’ll tell you how the boys generally work it. Have something with me?” • “No thanks. ” “Then I owe you one and bid you good day. Pleasant journey to you !” Four hours later, as tho coach was tolling up a long, wooded hill, there was a loud command of ‘‘Hands up!” and as we came to a standstill a man with a gun in either hand appeared at the heads of the leading horses and called out: “Now, then, everybody down ex cept the driver, and if I catch sight of a gun I shall pop away at the owner before asking any questions. Get into line and keep your hands up.” I was hardly down before I rec ognized the man who clinked glass es with me at Deadwood. I was at the head of the line, and as he came up he laughed and said : “You see how it’s done, don’t you? I hadn’t time to explain this morning, and now you see for yourself.” “Yes, I see. Is this a joke or business?” “Straight business, sir. Shell out!” I shelled and the rest followed suit, and the fellow got over a thousand dollars in cash and four good watches. When ready to go he threw me ass gold piece with tho remark: “I owe you one and here it is. If any of you gents have ever been curious to know how the old thing worked you’ve now had the oppor tunity to see for yourselves. Tra la!” And he backed off into tho shadows and was soon lost to view. A Valuable Prescription.
