BACKLOG DREAMS.
Above the glowing embers
I hear the backlog sing
The music it remembers
Of some remembered spring;
Back to the branch forsaken
Return the jocnnd choir,
And in the chimney waken
A melody of fire.
The sparks’ red blossoms glisten
And flash their glances brief
At me, who lean and listen,
And dream I hear a leaf
Of someMay morning sunny,
Low lisping in the tree——_
Or, in his haunt of honey,
A bloom enamored bee.
Or ’tis the soft wind blowing
Its sweetness from the south—-
A fragrant kiss bestowing
Upon the rose‘s mouth;
And ere the spell is broken,
Or darkness o‘er it slips,
I see the scarlet token
Of love upon her lips.
Without, the wind is bitter,
The snowflakes fill the night;
Within, the embers glitter
And gild the room with light;
And in the fireplace, gleaming,
The backlog sings away,
’ And mingles all my dreaming
With birds, and blooms. and May!
—Frank Dempster Sherman in Courier-Journal.
Fire Laddies ‘I‘l'ork the Idler Racket.
In front of the doors of the fire depart~
ment engine houses there is a chain which
is always stretched across the doorway
when the doors are open, for the double
purpose of keeping all stray animals out
and the horses—if any should get loose—in.
The chain is stretched about the right
height to make it a good place for a person
to lean against, and when loafers congre-
gate, as they always do about engine
houses, they are sure to put their hands
upon the chain and lean against it. At
fire department headquarters the men have
rigged a scheme which makes it very inter-
esting to the gentlemen of leisure. A man
walks up to the chain, places his hands
against it and leans back with a sigh of re-
lief. He might remain there forever, but
he doesn’t.
Some one observes him, but says never a
word. Instead of that he quietly walks to
the rear of the house and turns a crank
and—presto-——change! The man yells, exe-
cutes a war dance, gets black in the face
and mad at the same time. Then he goes
away.
The secret is this: The crank connects
with a small dynamo and this in turn is
connected with the chain by a wire. Only
this and nothing more.

just as effectual,” said Assistant Chief Gus
Runge, with a grin, after a victim had

It has often been exploited in print how
useful Dan Lamont made himself—to ex-
President Cleveland during his residence
in the White House. In the Rev. D. J.
Burrell and his faithful factotum, L. B.
IVilliams, Minneapolis has even as remark—
able an example of this usefulness in all
the details of office to which the subordi-
nate can attain. Without his efficient as
sistant Dr. Burrell would be as a ship
without a rudder. It is he who parcels out
the pastor’s duties, keeps tab on all the re-
quirements of the week and reminds him
of each and every engagement he has made.
In a little book which he carries in his
inside pocket Mr. \Villiams jots down all
the details of the week. It maps out the
pastor’s work to the smallest detail, and
without it he wouldn’t keep half or a quar-
ter of the engagements that he makes.

the proper time Pastor Burrell gets his _
pointers from his secretary and then goes '
ahead. By this method all the details of
his place devolve on some one else, leaving

His Pride.
A gentleman who once made a tour of
the Tennessee mountain district says that
the lameness of his horse compelled him to
stay all day at the rude home of one of the
mountaineers, who, in a shiftless, half
hearted way, cultivated a few acres of corn
land in the valley.
During the day the man’s son, a long,
leathery, bony young fellow about 20 years
old, and at the least 6 feet and 2inches tall,
was told to go to the “settlemint,” three
miles distant, for some coffee.
His costume consisted of a “hick’ry”
shirt and a pair of cotton trousers rolled to
the knees above his bare feet. Before start—
ing he went into the cabin for a moment,
and when he came out he had added a pa-
per collar and a huge brass breast pin to
his attire, whereupon his father said, part-
ly to his son and partly to the stranger:
“Thar ye air agin, rigged out in all that
thar finery! I tell ye, mister, that thar
boy’s pride is bound ter be the ruination of
’im yit. All he thinks of is finery. Fust

for $150,000. It was reduced to 12:3 carats

POET, PATRIOT AND HERO
THE MANY NOBLE sAo-
RlFlCES OF 1861-65.
ONE OF
Daring Exploits of Ohio’s Soldier ‘Poet,
V‘. H. Lytle —- The Leader of IIIany
Charges, He Fleets a. Warrior’s Fate at
Chickarnauga.
[Copyright by American Press Association]
E N. Wi l l i a m
Haines Lytle, who
is known to lovers
of striking and pa-
thetic verse by his
poem on the death
of Antony, begin-
ning -
, I am dying, Egypt,
dying,
Ebbs the crimson life
tide fast,
had a s o l d i er’s
fate; and, like his
" Roman hero,
breathed out his life in the heat of battle
order.
The soldier fiber was born in Gen. Lytle
and displayed itself early. His grandfa-
ther and great—grandfather, of the same
name, fought in the French and Indian
wars, and at the age of 20 he volunteered
with the Ohio men and served in Mexico,
coming home with a captain’s epaulettes
on his boyish shoulders.
From this time until the opening of the
civil war he was an active militiaoflicer,
and became a major general in the Ohio
forces. In the spring of 1861, while he was
engaged in organizing the troops for Uni—
ted States service, he was elected colonel
of the Montgomery regiment (Tenth Ohio),
named in honor of the brave Irish-Ameri-
can patriot who fell in the storming of
Quebec. This was Ohio’s Irish regiment,
and the members facetiously christened it
the “Bloody Tinth,” afterward making the
record good in downright earnest, for Lytle
proved to be another Montgomery in im-
petuous zeal, and the Tenth never fpared
to follow his lead. Lytle’s first brilliant
fight was at the head of the Tenth, as col—
onel, in the engagement on Gauley‘river,
' W’est Virginia.
In September, 1861,'the Confederates in
the Kanawha region were strengthened by
a new brigade under Gen, Floyd, and
while this force was posted, alone, around
Carnifex Ferry, on the Gaulcy, the Union
commander (Rosecrans), set out from the
Potomac to destroy it. He had three brig—
ades, and when the enemy’s outposts were
reached Col. Lytle led the column with his
Montgomery boys. Pressing on boldly, a
turn in the route of march brought him
opposite to a fortified battery, which im—
mediately opened with grape-and cannis—
ter. Lytle ordered the colors to be planted
on the slope in front as a rallying point
for his men. The brigadier was absent,
getting up re-enforcements; the artillery
fire was withering and was supported with
musketry; two color bearers of the Tenth
were shot down and many men fell.
There were three things to choose from
in this emergency: retreat, annihilation, or
a charge: W'ithout orders he chose the
latter and dashed ahead on horseback, call-
ing his men to follow. He was almost in—
stantly shot through the leg, the bullet
wounding his horse mortally, though he
crossed the breastworks after throwing his
disabled rider inafrantic plunge. Lytle
ordered his mento seek cover, which they
(lid close to the battery, keeping up a spir-
ited fire on the Confederate gunners. But
re—enforcements were slow in coming up,
the fall of Lytle spoiled his enterprise, and
night came on without a blow being struck
to drive the wedge ‘ home. Floyd aban—
doned the field and escaped across Gauley
river, which lay behind him.
Lytle’s wound was such as to keep him
out Of the field for months, and it was over
a year later, October, 1862, when he went
into action again. This was at Perryville,
K32, during Bragg’s invasion. Col. Lytle
commanded a brigade in Rousseau’s divis-
ion Of Buell’s army, his own regiment
serving under him and destined to emulate
their leader’s heroism in a most striking
manner on this field. Rousseau’s division
held the right of MeCook’s corps, on the
wooded banks of Chaplin river, where the
Confederate divisions of Cheatham and
Buc nor were attempting to cross and de-
stroy McCook before aid could reach him.
The battle was a surprise to the Union
side.
The troops vere under orders to concen-
trate, and following out a natural impulse,
pushed on to the stream in front, in search
of water, and the Confederates stole unob—
served through the thicket, falling upon
the front and flank of four brigades, only
two of which were within supporting dis—
Lytlc was on the
right of I-lousseau’s division, with the
Tenth Ohio at the front- as skirmishers.
As fighting progressed the general instruc—
tions for the right brigade were to hold
the position as long as possible and then
retire. There were no troops on the right
of it and the nor: brigade on the left was
out of sight. owing to the dense under-
growth.
Lytle had five regiments and could not
; keep more than two of them in sight at
one time. The Union artillery on this part
of the line soon exhausted their annnuni-
HEN. VF.
tion and retired, and as the cartridges of
the infantry were running low, Lytle sent
word to his commander asking for re—en-
forcemen‘ts. The answer was that the po-
sition must be held, and that no re-enforce-
ments could be spared from the left of the
line, for the whole corps was fast yielding
to a terrible disaster. Three brigade com-
manders had been killed and thousands of
men had fallen.
The brave colonel then posted his regi-
ments anew on the wooded ridges around
him, and took his place with his own
Montgomery regiment well to the front
to await the crisis which he saw to be inev»
itable. Buckner’s division of four brigades
was pressing in from allquarters. Finally
the receding vol-loyaltjqni’the lleft told him
that the adjoining buggagllégjauggtack.
Then his ownarsgiinentsranesby one gave
way, until the Tenth and its leader stood
alone. He sent an aid back to call up a
reserve regiment to the support of the ad-
vance line, but before assistance could
come the enemy broke through on his
right, and he saw thatif he held the ground
longer it must be with dead men only.
Hastily forming a body of skirmishers
he ordered the regiment to fall back, while
he and his handful boldly charged the ad-
vancing enemy to cover the retreat. It
was a pitiable, forlorn hope that handful
made, but it saved the remnant of the regi-
mental organization, which gained a new
position and fought on to‘ the end. Lytle
was struck down by a piece of shell, and
when one of his men rushed up to carry
him from the field he called out: “No! ]
am done for. Stand by your colors!”
The wound was in the head and was
ghastly, though not dangerous. His fol-
lowers who survived the charge reported
back to his command that he was dead,
and it was so announced in Washington.
The Confederates, however, sweeping over
the field, discovered him, and Gen. Bushrod
Johnson, whose brigade was on his tint,
dispatched a surgeon to attend the gallant
foeman and a hero’s life was saved. The
loss of his brigade in killed and wounded
was 800, of which the Tenth Ohio lost 220,
and not one of the regiment surrendered.
Darkness ended the battle before Union re
cnforcements could be brought up effect-
ively, and during the night the Confeder-
ates retreated.
orders and had saved the old command by
a deed of daring unsurpassed.
The rank of brigadier general was be-
stowed On the gallant colonel, and after
his exchange he took his place again in the
Army of Ohio, {nown at the time and
thereafter as the Army of the Cumberland.
Gen. Rosecrans was in command, and in
the latter part of September, 1863, crossed
the Tennessee river and advanced into
northern Georgia to engage the Confeder-
ates under Bragg. Gettysburg had been
fought, and Lee’s army, lying idle in Vir-
ginia, spared a force of 12,000 men, under
Longstreet, to aid Bragg, and other re-en-
forccments came from Mississippi, the fall
of Vicksburg having released them from
service there.
After much maneuvering and some pre-
liminary fighting the opposing armies were
ready for a desperate battle on the :20th of
September, in the valley of Chickamauga,
Rosecrans facing east and covering Chatta-
nooga, which Bragg sought to wrest from
him. The Confederates numbered over 70,-
000, and the Federals less than 60,000. The
Union left, commanded by Gen. Thomas,
was assailed first and with great fury. It
was the key and covered Chattanooga road.
Thomas called for aid from the right wing,
where Rosecrans was in person. Gen. Mc-
Cook’s corps heldthe right and Sheridan’s
division of the corps held the extreme
right, Gen. Lytle being at the head of a
brigade and second in command to Sheri-
dam.
The appeal from Thomas was answered
by the detachment of Sheridan with one
brigade toward the left. Rosecrans decid-
ed to shorten his line and contract his right
GEN. LYTLE A’l‘ CHICKAMAUGA.
Gen. Lytle was placed under orders
to follow Sheridan to the left as soon as
certain changes had been made in the posi-
. ,win g.
tions of troops near him. The fighting
soon spread from Thomas’ line toward the
right and urgent calls were made for more
men. T e Confederates at all points out-
numbered their opponents, and order after
order passed along the Union line to make
shift and hold on with what troops there
were at command. One of these orders
from Rosecrans was misconstrued and a
whole division was moved out of line, leav-
ing a wide gap without a Federal soldier
in it in frontof Longstreet’s corps, which
stood fresh and ready for the word of at-
tack. The signal was given just w 101). the
fatal gap opened in the Union line. Sheri-
dan had already passed by the division
that was moved out of line and Lytle was
under way, following with two brigades
and approaching the gap.
Lougstrcet had eight brigades, some of
them the seasoned veterans of the Penin-
sula battles, of Frodcricksburg, Antietam
and G-ettyslmrg. Their onslaught was ter-
rific and the unguarded ends of the 'L’nion
line on each side of the gap were crushed
in a twinkling. It would be vrong to call
the disaster to Rosecrans" men a rout; it
was the coming of a tidal wave that bore
everything“ on in its pathway. The Union
genera.s were carried off their feet by a
force none but a god could resist.
General Lytle reached the gap with his
marching brigades at the moment when
the nearest Union division was giving way
and Longstreet’s nen were swinging
around to envelop the exposed flank. The
Confederate progress would soon cut the
Union line completely in two, and place a
barrier between the Union right wing and
Thomas" hard pressed army. Looking
around for troops with which to form a
new line facing at right angles to the old,
the brave Lytle, left to} his own resources,
saw that the Confederate attack had in-
volved the whole front. There was noth-
ing intact but his brigades. He formed
them on the new front and, calling up his
old Ohio Tenth, whicn, with decimated
ranks, had become headquarter guard,
sought to resist Longstreet’s advance down
the Union right.
It i 'as simply sweeping the ocean with a
broom. His formations were broken as
fast as they were made, and planting his
colors for one desperate effort he prepared
to repeat the bold tactics he had displayed
at Gauley river and on Chaplin Hills: Tell-
ing his subordinate commanders what was
expected of them, he called up his personal
staff and placed himself at the head of the
column, bleeding the while from three‘
severe wounds received in this encounter.
To his aids, who begged him to leave the
field, he said:
“W'e can die but once.
Let us charge!” ,
He then turned and went forward, meet
ing instantaneous death in the volley of
bullets that greeted this bold advance. '
Now is our time.
But the day was lost. Thomas was not,
suecored, and was in turn overwhelmed,
and night found the Army of the Cumber-
land in full retreat. Lytle’s last act of
masterly daring was in vain, except as an
example of heroic devotion to duty.

A PRETTY HOME.
Plans for a Handsome and Convenient
Two Story Dwelling.
Among the many admirable plans con-
tained in the National Building Plan asso-
ciation’s “Artistic Homes” is this one for
a two story frame dwelling house.
The elevation shows that it is of hand-
some exterior design, ‘the wall surfaces
well broken with Windows and angles and
the arrangement of the two piazzas is par—
ticularly happy.
A PRETTY HOME.
The house may have a brick or stone foun-
dation and a 6 foot 6 inch cellar. The first
story is 10 feet 6 inches high and the second
9 feet high. The arrangement of the first
story is convenient and artistic. The large
parlor, which is 15 feet wide by 16 feet
long, is connected with the sitting room
bya broad door, which would make them
both easily available in case of large gath-
erings. The sitting room is little smaller
than the parlor, as it measures 14 by 16,
and its connection with the 18 by 16 dining
room adds the latter to the suite which
might be pressed into service. From all
three rooms doors open into a hall 16 feet
'long and 8 feet wide, from which the stair-
case ascends.

FIRST FLOOR.
In each one of the four principal lower
rooms—parlor, sitting room, (lining room
and hall—are fireplaces, which add much
to comfort and coziness of appearance
on chilly autumn evenings or during the
dampness and frost of the early spring.
But the “crowning glory” of this house
from a housewife’s standpoint is the kitch-
en. It is large enough (11x12) and is so
arranged that there is plenty of room for
three tables. The range and sink are in
good locations and the whole is well light-
ed by two windows, and, if desired, a glass
door opening on the back porch. The pan-
try, which measures 4 feet 6 inches by 8, is
at the left of the range and easy of access
to the cook or serving maid.
The second story is no less conveniently
arranged. It contains ‘four chambers, six
closets, bath room and hall, all of good size
and well lighted. One of the chambers
has a door leading to a tiny balcony—a de-
lightful adjunct to a sleeping room on
summer evenings and hot nights.

A Peculiar Ground Plan.
A dwelling house was recently built near
Boston in which no right angle occurs in the
walls of any of the first floor rooms. There
are seven of them in all—drawing room,
parlor, library, sitting room, dining room,
reception room and smoking room-and
each one of them opens into the circular,
hall which occupies the center of the house.
From this hall the stairway rises, one of its
angles forming a projection of nearly four
feet on the outer wall. The kitchen, store
rooms, etc., are all in the third story, so
that by no possibility the odors of cooking
shall be smelled down stairs, and are
reached by a covered stairway rising out-
side of the maii'i building.
Some Charming Screens.
Some charming screens were recently
seen in a room devoted to-an infant’s ward-
robe. They had enameled white frames,
and were about the size of a small clothes
horse. The narrow upper panels were filled
with pictures, and the lower part was cov-
ered with shirred silk. One screen was in
pale blue. another in pink, and a third in
apple green. The special purpose is to
screen bath tub or cradle, and at the same
time afford diversion and amusement by
the pictures and the gay colors of the silk.
The upper panel of a similar screen had
places for photographs made in the same
way as the popular small photograph
screens—Art Amateur.
