It off as true history, and as I wusa member of sal^brUfide from Its organization until after the fall of Atlanta. I be* loave.with your perm'ssion, to eorreet the mU-statoments therein, ot» Ithstandmir the editor was also a member of said brigade. It was composed of the following regiments and no others: 13tb» 19lb and 5l)tli Ohio, 79th and 86ili Ind. and Oth Ky. Tho Ohio and Kentucky regiments bolug tho origlual brigade and i1-.- such went with Huel to Shlloh and followed Brags back to Louisville, where the two Indiana regiments were add?d. Tbel9th andSOth ofSeptember are at hand which will briugtheyoth anniversary of that bloody encounter. Any true history ol those days will be read with Interest not only by the 86th boys alone, bat by all comrades composing said brigade. Believing that you will stand corrected by call vour attention to the facts, 1 ain.

Very truly your comrade, J. H.SIMPSON. Ex-Sergeant Co. H.. Bth Ky.

In to the above the editor of THK JOURNAL would say thnt friend Simpson should not "unload his memory and palm it off as history." The regiments composing Dick's brigade at the battle of Chickamauga were the 13th and 59th Ohio and the -14th and 8G_h Indiana. The formation of this brigade was made on the 30th day of October, 1862, when Rosecrans assumed the command of the Army of the Cumberland. It WBS known as the Second Brigade, Third Division, Twenty-first Army Corps. The brigade was first commanded by Col. J. P. FyfFe, of the 59th Ohio, and afterwards by Co!. George F. Dick, of the 86th Indiana, the latter being in command ot the battle of Chickamanga. Gen. H. P. Vancleave commanded the Division. This brigade remained thus organized untilthe 19th of Ootober,1863,jast one month after the battle of Chickamauga, when the army was reorganized, General Thomas succeeding General Koeecrans. The 9th Kentucky up to that time formed apart of the First Brigade, Third Division, of the Twenty-first Army Corps, the other regiments being the 19th Ohio, 11th Kentucky and the 79th Indiana and was commanded by Gen. Sam Beatty. Upon the reorganization of the Army the Twenty-first Corps passed out of existence and was succeeded by the Fourth Corps. Then it was on the 19 th of October, 1863, that the 9th Kentucky, the 17th Kentucky, the 13th Ohio, the 19th Ohio, the 59th Ohio, the 79th Indiana and the 86th Indiana were formed into the 3d Brigade, 3d Division, 4th Army Corps, with Gen. Sam Beatty in command of the brigade and Gen. T. J. Wood in command of the Division. As thus organized the brigade remained intact until the close of the war, and did its share of the fighting. Our good friend, Simpson, should brash up his memory and revise his history.

THK evidence is sufficient IJ show the currency famine is caused by boarding. In the oities the safety deposit vaults are used to a larger extent, the testimony being that the dsmand for boxes being greatly in excess of the supply, in the country the people have resorted to old stockings, cloaks, bed ticks and their pocket books. No better evidence is required than this to show that the monoy is all good. The people have faith in every dollar there is in existence whether that dollar be gold, silver, greenback, silver certificate, silver treasury note or national bank note. The fault is not in the kind ot money that we have nor the amount. It is simply distrust—distrust of the Democratic party as to its polioy both on dust rial and financial matters.

ONE

of the quickest wayB of adding to

the volume of the currency lies in the passage of bill to allow banks tc issue currency up to the par value of the bonds deposited. A measure of leas than half a dozen lines would be sufficient. The scheme is popular and safe, and it would add $18,000,000 or 820,000,000 to the circulation just as quick HH the notee could be furnished.

If yer goiu', I'm right smart sorry, 'cause I likes ,er, an' I'll miss yer, a heap. Ye're sfot a kinder pizen way o' talkin,' sometimes, but I s'pos'e yer can't help it. I'm powerful sorry ye ain't had better luck a-minin', but I hopes ye'll jest strike it rich in Frisky. Like's notye'U beguv'noro' Californv yet" "If I am, it will come to me from the levll," said Mark, savagely "nothing like success ever comes to oie from any other source. Whatever I try to do right, only goes wrong and gets me in trouble. It was so when 1 got married when I came West when I tried to find my lost wife when, after giving up the search, 1 decided to go back ^nd try it again and, also, when I tried to earn a competence, honestly, here. Every other man in camp was making money, by the fistful, at my very side, every day I, as you well know, couldn't make my salt But for your .•harity I would have starved. Now I am going to make money, by no matter what moans. As to that, henceforth, I shall be indifferent. If riches :ome to me honestly, all right if dishonestly, all right but come they shall"' "O, pard, pard," exclaimed Droopy, that's ag'ln' all sense and reason. I ain't eddicated, an' can't rattle off things glib, like you but I knows jest a little bit better'n that I don't want ter hurt yer feelin's by saytn' onything onkind when yer goin' away but I mus' tell yer that yer makin' a powerful mistake. Ye knows a dum sight better'n to go an' say yer goin' ter git money onyway. It'll git ye behind stun walls an' iron bars, or hitched on the end of a rope, or shot so full o' bullet-holes ye'll look like a kullindur. If yer bent devullln'. ye'd better skip back East The road ter hell in this country is a mighty short one. Californy law is shorter and smarter nor a hornet's tail. They is one thing in the Bible I alius foun' true, an' that is, honesty is the bes' polursy! It ain'tin the Bible? Oh, well, 'seuse my iguerrunce. It's jest as true as if it was in the.Bikle.

Now li»'en ter me, pard I'll make a propersitiott to yer. Jest stay here, an' work with me. Startin' with ter-mor-rovr, haH o' my claim, an' so on, is royo-' We'll h»th jest pitch in an' do aU we can. Five year frum bow, ef yer foller out my idees, ye'll be a millinery—well, millionaire, then, if that's what it is. What ye have ye'll come by honestly, an' then ye'll feel all right about it What d'ye say, pard?" "That you have the softest heart and head in the world," said Mark, warmly.

Vou are so generous that you take my breath. But I can't accept what you offer. It would, to me, be lowering my mankood.

The hell it would 1" answered Droopy, losing a little his temper. "Ef yer goes oa ia the wild way yer jest was In, a minute ago. yer manhood '11 fit lowered in 'bout six feet o' groun', ia a pine box. A man what says he's goin' ter have money onyhow, an' then snuffs up his nose at an honest chance what's gin him by a man what likes him, I can't make out. Loolty' here: ef yer stays with me, an' works the claim with me, an' we makes it pay, an' we on'y divides up what we makes arter this, it's nothin' more nor less nor a straight bizness transaction. The groun' belongs ter nobody in pertlckler, an' is as much yourn as it is mine. Comin' down ter the finest p'int, the law on'y makes it mine 'cause I got here fust an' you, 'cordln' ter what yer jest set no great needn't gin Now, then, of yer am the man I took yer fur, yo'll jest giu up goin' to Frisky, ter make yerself a hull lot o' trouble, an' stay here an' salt down some thin' yaller ag'in yer old age." "I am sorry, very sorry," said Mark, "that I can't see it as you do, but it would not leave me either my selfrespect or my independence "Come, now," growled Droopy, thorougly disgusted with Mark's quibbling, and the lack of sincerity in his tone and manner "why don't yer come out squar' an' flat-footed an' say what yer means, jest like a man? Why don't yer say that yer am too damned lazy to work, an' that yer want* ter git inter stealin', er gamblin', er somethin' else what's easier? What yer says don't hapf at all together. Ef yer folks gin ft the wrong start, an' I reckon they did, ye naturally had 'nough tense ter set yerself straight at the same time when yer had 'nough sense ter see as how it was wrong. That was the time ter start out swingin' on yer own gate. If ye likes yer tea clear, an' somebody puts in sugar, yer ain't 'bleege.d ter dump out the sugar an' chuck in wormwood. If yer folks did make things bad for ye, yer didn't need ter make 'em wuss. They on'y gin ye a bad start. They aint bizzy with yer now. If ye stan' on a hill what's got a frog-pond at the bottom, an' somebody gives ye a boost an' tries ter send yer down inter the mud, yer ain't bleeged ter go no further nor tho speedin' what they gin ye sends yer.

Yer ain't got ter brace fur it, an' run on. as hard as ye can, an' jump in the frog-spawnln', on yer own account. That 'ould be actin' like a dum fool, an' that's jest what yer doin'l Life ain't a bowlin'-alley, an' ye ain't a ball what has been flung an' can't git outen the track. Ye've had a bad start, but many a man has had a wuss one. Yourn can't even hold a candle to mine. But I don't go brbodin' over hard luck. I jest spits on my han's, an' rolls up my sleeves, an' sails in, an' makee one thing work, ef another won't. Yer young an' smart an' now jest stay here, an' gin up this nonsense, forgit all this talk, an' we'll make a for tin outen this old mounting.

yelled

But Mark shook his head. 'I cannot" he said, shamefacedly. Droopy let the other's hand fall. "I'm diserp'iuted," he said and tSen he walked slowly away.

About two weeks after the departure Mark Stanley from Red Mountain, tie California newspapers were all tiled with one theme. Floyd Maydew, an important Eastern capitalist, was coming to San Francisco to interest himself in a stupendous mining scheme. He would bring with him, besides an enormous amount of ready cash, an inormously beautiful daughter. Miss Maydew was young and talented, and, because of the delicate health of her tather, she had made herself a thor-ough-going business woman. She attended to the most of her father's banking affairs, and was even a much shrewder adept in general financiering than Mr. Maydew himself,—which was saying a great deal. Indeed, such was his confidence in her ability aud judgment that it was stated, on good authority, that none of the Maydew funds would be invested iu California unless, after careful consideration. Miss Maydew was convinced that such an investment would be judicious.

That being the case, all San Francisco was burning with eagerness to please and conciliate the pretty little lady.

Among those most Interested in bringing about a result so happy for California was Judge Desborough, one of the principal mine-owners and a noted dabbler in mining stocks. His anxiety was so openly expressed that it soon became almost as common a topic of conversation as the Maydews themselves.

One evening, thiee or four days before the arrival of .the Maydews, Judge Desborough had a caller, who did not give the servant who answered his ring either his name or his card. This was not at all remarkable, in the Jndge's experience so the unknown caller was admitted.

He was a man with sandy hair, complexion, and beard, and he had large brown eyes which struck the Judge as an unusual combination. "Are you Judge Desborough?" asked the stranger, before seating himself in a chair to which the Judge courteously pointed. "I am," was the answer, and then the stranger sat down. "Before I tell you my name," he said, "I must ask if you have any particular interest in having the Maydews invest in a certain California miningscheme?" "That, sir," answered the Judge, "is a most extraordinary question." "Exactly," agreed the stranger. "It is more than that—it is an impertinent question—or it would be if it were not an outcome of more than ordinary circumstances. I have a reason for asking the question, which, if I am rightly informed, is even of more importance to yod than it is to me. You are a lawyer, so you will respect me for not wishing to 'give my case away.' If you are anxious to have the Maydew funds remain in California, I can "be of incalculable service to you if you have no such interest, I will bid you goodevening, and go."

The Judge regarded his visitor with amaftement, leaning toward him to scan him the more closely. "Who the devil are you, and what kind of a trap are you trying to lead me into?" he at length blurted out, scowling savagely. "Xou seem to see occasion for the use of violent language," observed the stranger "I do not "I beg your pardon, sir," exclaimed the Judge, quickly "butyou clean surprised me out of my wits. You see, I don't quite understand. Yes—I—I have the strongest reasons for wishing that the Maydews might stay here, or at least make the proposed investments." "Thankyou," returned the stranger, coolly "now we will get to business. You are aware, of course, that there are no Maydew investments which are not advised or approved by Miss Maydew. If she says so, the intended business here will be consummated if she says otherwise, it will not I suppose that you already understand that?" "Perfectly, sir perfectly." "Very good. Well, Judge Desborough, if Miss Maydew likes the prospects here, of her own accord, you will have no occasion for my services if she does not, however, take kindly to things, I can help you out" "You?" "I." "How?" "All in good time, my dear sir if pour checkers are jumped off the board IO fast you won't get any in the kingrow." •'Don't fire analogy and hyperbole at me in that fashion, young man," inarled the Judge. "The Maydews," resumed the other, "by reason of influence which I can bring to- bear if I choose, will invest here in the much-talked-of mining scheme. If, though, I use my Influence the other way, they will take their money back East again, and stay there with it I will be either a stepping-stone or a etumbling-blook.as you wilL If my services are enlisted, my foe will be 850,000, payable in gold, when it is proven to you that their Investment is made by reason of my influence. Is there any analogy or hyperbole in that?"

The Judge sat back in his cliair, too much astonished to speak. For fully two minutes the two men eat and looked at each other in dead silence. "What may I call you?" asked the Judge finally, trying to overcome nis embarrassment "You may call me by name—Mark Stanley,or to be more precise about it, Marcus Antonius Stanley." "How much time, Mr. Stanley, will you give me to consider your remarkable proposition?"_inquired the Judge, in

tones which SKowetThim Io be wavering. "Fifteen mlnuteB," said Hark, promptly. "Isn't that rather narrowing1 things down?" "It's more time than yon would allow me for a speech, if I was condenied for murder, in your court," said Mark, frigidly.

The Judge's face reddened a litttle. "1 will tell you what I will do, Mr. Stanley," he said, after a brief pause. "If you can bring about what you say,

"DAMS YOU, SIR," CRIED THK JUDGE. I will hand you, as soon as the important esult hi reached, one-half of what I expect to make out of the transaction, which will be twenty-five thousand dollars." "Desborough, Desborough," said Mark, reflectively. "It don't sound like a Jewish name, but "Damn you, sir," cried the Judge, springing up out of his chair, "you are the most exasperating man I ever met" "Which, I suppose," said Mark, rising, "is equivalent to telling me to go to the devil." "Not in the least,'sir," expostulated the Judge, regaining his good humor "not in the least, sir. This Maydew matter is one of such, vast importance to me that I am forced to accept your terms, monstrous and extravagant as they are. We will have the agreement drawn up and signed to-night, and we will then deposit it, for safe keeping, in whatever bank you please. "Why not make two copies of the agreement, and you keep one, and I the other?" suggested Mark. "Oh, no," said the Judge "I could not thiak of arming you with such a document Yon might, for all I know, be a sharper, and use it against me in some blackmailing scheme. It would ruin me if my friends and acquaintances saw my name to such a paper." "It \vould ruin me, also," said Mark, "if my friends the Maydews saw my name to such a document You seem to forget that I, also, have a reputation at stake." "In the East, maybe, but not here, Mr. Stanley you are a total stranger here, even to me. I have an established local reputation at stake. It is as dear to me as a woman's honor as dear as a woman's honor, sir. Can't you see the difference in our positions? It is very manifest, Mr. Stanley very manifest Why, sir, I don't even know that a word that you have said to me is true you haven't shown me that it is. Your whole purpose may be to get my name to a document that you can use to my detriment You see, sir, you have given me only a stranger's unsupported word for all of this extraordinary stuff. You have given me so proof, even, that your name is Stanley your nams may not be Stanley 0 "No,"interrupted Mark,sarcastically 'my name may not be Stanley it may be Smith. Very likely it is Smith. I'd call it Smith, anyhow, just to please you, if it wasn't such a damned ordinary name. But we won't argue the point further. Draw the agreement, and we will sign it as you say. Its disposition can be arranged upon afterwards."

Certainly, sir, certainly," assented the Judge. 'Let me see our agreement is that you are to have, from me, the sum of fifty thousand dollars, if the Maydews, by reason ol your influence, make such investments here as the newspapers say they contemplate making. If they fail to do this, or if 1 am not shown that the money which they may expend here would not have been so expended but for you, then, sir, then, Mr. Stanley, our contract is null, void, and dead. Is that satisfactory, sir? Will such a written instrument make you feel that you are duly protected?" {To'Jbe Continued.)

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy yet devised has BO fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Porous Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. Tbey are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Do not be deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for Allcock's, and let no solicitation or explanation induce you to accept a substitute.
