SHE®- WOOD of Ohio made an address li <i»e hooise the other day ^uite oat of the ordinary. Probably no other living man could fcave made just H»t speech. The house beard hint wtA great Interest, and \vlMn <t3me had expired gave hlm ad thmal time in which to finish. Possibly his theme may he etatoA as "Fighting Generals of the Civil War." In general, the debate wis Stbout the question whether or not* •tnce the advent of long-range cannon, a general'* place Is on the battle front-*- whether or not the style of fighting has changed since the Civifwar and the Spanish-American waty and Sherwood was moved to tell something abofftKthe style of fighting he saw In the Civil war. • . Now, Sherwood of Ohio saw a whole lot of ' ing is the Civil war. He enlisted as a private In the Fourteenth Ohio infantry April 16, 1861, and was mustered out as a brigadier general October 8, 1865. He was In 43 battles and was 123 days under fire. He was six times complimented in special orders by commanding generals for gallant conduct In battle. So, few living men have seen what he has seen. Omitting the controversial parts, and emphasising the historical parts of real value. General Sherwood's address was In part as follows: Mr. Sherwood.--Now, as to the question of our style of fighting In the Civil war. There stands today, as it stood over half a century ago, in front of the town of Franklin, Tenn., on the highest point of the ridge, a large linden tree. It was half past three In the afternoon of November 30, 1864, when General Hood, commanding 75,000 veteran soidiers, rode unattended to that tree, threw the stump of (he leg that was shot off at Chlckamauga over the pommel of the saddle, drew out hla field glass, and sat looking across the valley to the position of the Union army. It was the silence that always precedes a great battle. Presently the silence was broken by the soft strains of musk which floated up from the town below. It was the Federal band playing "Just before the battle, mother." The men in gray on the hill and the men in blue in the valley below listened. Tl\pre were tears In many eyes, as the pathetic worda were well remembered, l^jwimder him. Twelve Confederate generals were Either dead or wounded. Colonels were commandtng divisions, captains were commanding brigades. J"/" More generals were killed in that eight hours' At a dinner party It doesn't matter that the anecdote la totally irrelevant if it's funny. , 4. Ural Cleburne was abreat* of thai Charging line. tllk^y and Infantry He fell Ju»t at the left of my brigade. As the Confederates rushed on the Federal line of battle a gray figure <m a chestnut horse rode diagonally across the fnsnt of the charging column. The horse went down within 50 yards of the breastworks. The rMer arose, waved his sword, and . led his men on foot to the ramparts; then his brave form staggered and fell against the Federal line, pierred with mini** balls. His corps was - swept back under a terrific fire of musketry, nearly one-hnlf either killed «r wounded. This* was 4j>en. Pat Cleburne. (Applause.] A few yards on the Confederate light Gen. George W. Gordon of Tennessee, who was also abreast of the charging line, fell Just under the fresh earth of the breastworks. He was wounded and captured, as he refused to fall back. Near this spot Gen. John Adams also fell. He stood upon the parapet and was fatally fthot, his horse falling across the breastworks. General Carter fell mortally wounded before reaching the Federal * battle line. General Stahl reached the ditch; he stood on the bodies of the dead and gave commands and rallied his men. Just in front of my line, facing the locust thicket. General Cockrell Of Missouri was wounded, but not fatally. Not a hundred yards away lay General Granbury dead. He died leading the brave Texans to the works. A minute more and General Stahl fell, mortally wounded. General Walthall of Mississippi, after- . .ward United States senator, had two horses shot "Just before the battle, mother, I am thinking most of yon." General Hood closed his field fttasC wheeled his horse, and rode back to General Stewart with the command, "General, we will charge the Federal line in front." Stewart formed his corps oh the right. General Cheatham formed his corps on the left, and on the extreme right, on the Harpeth river, rested General Forrest's cavalry. A cannon on the ridge sounded the signal for the charge. With bayonets fixed the heavy columns, all veterans, marched with a steady and even tread down the slope. The fiercest and bloodiest battle of the centuries was on. I say that because it is a fact" that more men were lost In that battle in jiroportion to the number of troops engaged than in any battle that was ever fought on either continent Hood's losses were over 40 per cent. The hottest part of the line was a biack-tDCUSt thicket just at the right of the Columbia Pike. I was at that part of the line. I have a distinct recollection of that locust thicket, and I can see now, as I saw then, that waving line of shining bayonets as It rushed to the works with that de» liant rebel yell, and the mad and murderous conflict that followed. My horse, Firefly, a coal blade that I had ridden in many conflicts from Rocky Face to Atlanta, was shot. But I was young and spry then and was at the front to witness tb« - culmination of the charge. On the left of my command'the Federal lines gave way. And this is something historical, on which historians and Horace Greeley, the Count de Paris, Governor Cox of Ohio, General Banks of Mississippi, Gen. Basil Duke, and John Trotwood Moore of Tennessee have written conflicting accounts. I am going to clear that up.- On the left ' of my command the Federal lines gave way. Geaitniggle in front of that little Tennessee town than were killed in the two days* fight at Chickamauga ©r the three days' fight at Gettysburg, where three times as many soldiers were in battle. And let me emphasize this with the statement that more brigadier and major generals were killed at Franklin In that eight hours' fight than In the whole world war of four years and over where nearly 18,000,- P00 soldiers were In the hell of battle. [Applause.] I was colonel, commanding the One Hundred and Eleventh Ohio, Just to the right of the old cotton gin, and just in front of a grove of black locusts. Early in the fight Colonel Lowrey of the One Hundred and Seventh Illinois, and Col. Leroy Clark of the One Hundred and Eighty-Third Ohio, "Were killed, which left me the ranking officer of fhe battle line of the brigade, which I commanded fo the end of the struggle. My regiment suffered, both in officers and men, the largest casualty list of any regiment in the Union army. [Applause.] I had only eight officers alive and not wounded In ten companies. During my fonr years' service I was compelled to witness the agonising aftermath of over 40 battlefields. I saw the brave and Intrepid General Harker go undaunted to his death in the charge en Kenesaw mountain. General Harker was the Idol of his soldiers. I saw that splendid Ohio soldier, General McPherson, the handsomest mounted general In our army, brought on a stretcher to the left of my command at the Howard house In the Battle of Atlanta, just as his great soul had departed to the unknown world. General Sherman was the commander in chief of the Union army In the memorable Atlanta campaign. I commanded the brigade skirmishers (he day of the Atlanta battle of July 22, 1864, and established a front skirmish >rt l u Hne in easy view of the Confederate breastworks. • > General Sherman came to «. U my outpost and, stnndlng In front of a tree, took out his field glass to survey the Confederate lines. Just then a sharpshooter concealed In the foliage of a tree made a line shot at General Sherman, the bullet piercing the trw about two feet above his head. But he never took down his field glass. [Applause.] Only a few minutes later the roar of arwas heard on our left. General fcfcPhereon was killed; our left flank was doubled up In confusion. Gen. John A. Logan, mounted on his war horse, Biack Jack, rode to the front, rallied our staggering battalions, and saved our army. [Applause.] Again, at Chickamauga, Maj. Gen. James B. Steadman of Ohio came to the front with a division of volunteers In the most critical period of the conflict. General Steadman rode abreast the front of his charging battalions. His horse was shot dead In that hell of fire. He mounted another horse and saved his battle lines. [Applause.] It will be remembered that Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, commander in chief of the Confederate army in the fierce battle of Shiloh April 6, 1862, was shot and mortally wounded riding his war horse and rallying the battle lines. I commanded the brigade skirmish line the day of the. battle ef Pine mountain, at the right of Kenesaw, June 14, 1864. I saw the cannon shot fired that killed Lieut. Gen. Leonldas Polk on ths Confederate front. That great Virginian, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas, the idol of the boys behind the guns, appealed, amid wild applause, along the battle lines Just before the final charge December 18, 1864, In the three days' battle of Nashville. In the battle of Resaca I saw Gen. Joe Hooker In the full uniform of a major general--yellow sash and all the plumes--riding at the extreme front, almost abreast of our advance line. He was mounted on a powerful high-headed bay stallion, red-nostriled and furious, the most daring and inspiring figure I ever saw on a battle Held. [Applause.] In the battle of Burnt Hickory. G«- I aaw Maj *3en. O. O. Howard, the maimed soldier who lost his good right arm in the Battle of Chancellorsvllle, ride the battle line In ttye hottest moment of the conflict, enthusing and encouraging the men behind the guns. 1 In the Civil war, from '61 to '65, we lost--killed lit battle and died of wounds--121 general officers. Of this number 75 were Confederate generals and 46 were Union generals. We lost 12 major generals, and the'Confederates lofet il. We lost 81 brigadier generals, and the Confederates 04. Their loss was greater than ours because Of thfe fact that Secretary of War Stanton, instead oCj making generals 'commanders of brigades, took that; ranking colonel. This was true in all the campaigns in which I participated; and if you will get the fatality lists of colonels you will find that th4 losses on both sides were about equal. The Confederates lost four lieutenant generals--Thomai J. Jackson (Stonetvall Jacksod), Leonidas Polk, Ambrose P. Hill, and Albert Sidney Johnston. We have made 11 soldiers and generals preaid of the United States; all generals but two, Klnley and Roosevelt. George Washington, our first president, was our first commanding gpneraL He had four horses shot under him, always at the front of battles. , Our soldier presidentsr'aH • had solid battle records.

Recent experiments with the "alpha" ray have led to the discovery, says the English Mechanic and World of Science, that nitrogen, which for a century and a half has been regarded as an element, may not be an element at all, but a compound of hydrogen and helium. It Is an Interesting coincidence that Doctor Dal ton, according to the now accepted account, was led to his theory of the atomic structure of^matter by a study of the physical properties of the atmosphere. Sir Ernest Rutherford, by experiments on the same gases, now sees in each of Dalton's atoms of nitrogen an atomic system in which two distinct elements play a part, and nitrogen Itself apparently Is to disappear as an element. --Youth's Companion.
