'Jmm a poiltlon from whioli it Hid not appear (xwaible for five tlm*a t*<« forces to drive talm. To reach the foot of the ridge the Federals must eome across a plahs abmst Ewo miles m id<\ every foot of It swept by the Confederate artillery. It would be a wearisome tatlc for a hunter to make his way «p the side of the mountain to-d*f,clear as it Is. but the Federal troops went In regiments and brigades and all the time under a hot lire and the ground terrible difficult. While ; Uragg had the strong position in front nml ltanks, his field-pieces an the crest were planted so far back that they «Tr» no use to sweep the side of the mountain. While Ills right held ^her* man mt Tunnel Hill, and at his left kept Hooker in check at Rossville, his front was really weak. It was weak because itleit itself so strong. When t!ic Federals first moved to the attack It was looked upon by the Confed­ erate officers with the grea*est surprise. It was not in reason to believe that line# of battle could cross the plain, drive in the pickets, carry the rlfle- l»tits. scale the rugged side and drive l!k» a wedge through the center of the ('rtiifederate line, but this was done. ft Ik a matter of history that Grant did net contemplate a movement be­ yond the foot of the ridge for that day at least. It was the total unex­ pected rush up the mountain that created surprise and consternation and panic. It was, in the language or a Confederate officer, "totally uncalled for and below the belt." There was soid» terrific fighting before Bragg's lines were broken, but every Confed- e a*<e fought with a cloud over blm. Hi* couldn't understand how or why that supposed impregnable center should have been attacked. One single brigade gave way before the Federal Hedged and let the current of blue pour In. It was a brigade with brave officers aud fighting men, and yet one good regiment ought te have held the ground. 19*The White House covers about one third of an aare, aud it has cost up to the present time about •2,000,000. It is modeled after a castle* in Dublin, and the architect who was a South Carolina Utan named Ho ban. got 9600 for draw­ ing out the plans. When it was first bu It. away back in the nineties, it cost 9300,000, but the British burned out its Insidee, and its coat has since added to that sum about 91,700,000. I n it all the presidents since Washington haye lived *•' • each has added to its beauties and expenses. I think it was John Quincy Adams who bought the first billiard table which was used In It. But In John Adam's time It was only half fur- uished and Abigail Adams used to dry her rlothes in the big east room. Year by year, however, the famishing has gone on, until now It Is ja sort of a museum of Art and beauty.--Wathing- ton Letter. •&*According to Dr. flyades, whe has recently returned from Terra del Fuego, whither be was dispatched en a mission by the French Government the Fupgians are the lowest human beings tu the scale of existence. Tbeir lan­ guage contains no word for any number above three; they are unable to distin­ guish one color from another; they have no religion and no funeral rites, and they possess neither chiefs cor slaves. Their only weapons are bone- pointed spear?, and, as tl»ey grow nei­ ther fruits nor vegetables ar.d tbeir country is naturally barren, they are obliged to live entirely en animal food. Eren these savages possess, however, some spelai virtues. They are not can, nibate; they Ill-treat neither women no? the old, and they are monogamous. •S^The Atlanta Constitution says the North Georgia marble is the finest in the world. A local qnarryman has just cut a counter for the Kimball House, bixtoen teet in length and four feet broad out of the solid rock. He aays: "We could supply a flawless marble column 80 feet long and five ieet In diameter. A hundred years from to-day the quarries will have been barely touched. The supply of marble of surpassing beauty and of every shade of color !s exhaustlest."

I 3ES» HI HJ ̂ Vegetable Sicilian HAIR BENEWER was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure disease* of the scalp, aud tlie tirst suc­ cessful restorer of faded or gray liair to iu natural color, growth, aud youthful beauty. « has had many initiators, but uouo Lav« so fully met all tho requirements needful for the proper treatment of tlie hair aud scalp. Hall's IIair Ke.xi.wcb lias steadily grown In favor, and spread its fame and usefulness i to every quarter of tbe globe. Its unparal­ leled succoss can be attributed to but on® cause: the entire fulfilment of its ptvmitet. The proprietors have often been surprised at tlie receipt of orders from remote coun­ tries, vliere they had never made an effort for its introduction. The use for a short time of HALL'S IIAIB Rkxewer wonderfully improves the per­ sonal appearance. It cleanses the scalp from all impurities, cures all humors, feve{, and dryness, and thus prevents baldness. It stimulates the weakened glands, and enables them to push forward a new and vigorous growth. The effects of this article are not transient, like those of alcoholic prepara­ tions, but remain a long time, wliicli makes Its use a matter of economy.
