Seenes Alone the Path Where the Stricken Soldiers Plodded Iu the Moonlight Toward Siboney—Pure Grit and No Complaints The Weakened lien Were
Mark* l'or Spanish Sharpshooters In the Trees.
The New York Sun's correspondent, writing under the elato of July 6 from Sibouey, Cuba, describes the scenes along tlie path where our wounded soldiers plodded toward the hospital at Siboney as follows:
Darkness had covered the first great Nhttlefleld of the Spanish-American war. The dead lay all about, unminded in the press to alleviate the wants of the wounded. Sorrow was everywhere, not because of defeat or disaster, for American valor had driven the enemy from their intrenchments in the face of a flre that might well have shattered the ranks of veteran soldiers, but because to thesy farmer boys, these mechanics, clerks, Tawyers, dudes and lfflllionaires, bred to the ways

shattered
flesh and broken bones. It was all too horrible wh.en robbed of its glamour by stern reality, and' so, despite the victory of the day and the glory they had won, our soldiers were crushed and broken hearted by the loss that had been entailed.
And it was a terrible, pitiful sight that night. Wounded were everywhere, silently suffering. The shrieks and groans of which writers of other battlefields have been wont to make so nnveh were missing. Men pierced through and through with Mauser bullets lay in the long grass of the fields where they bad fallen or under the knife of the surgeon in the improvised hospitals without a murmur or a mean. They bore it like heroes, but the agony was all there. And those who saw it knew it. The pallid laces, contorted with suffering, told the story as plainly as tlWUgh the pain
shrieked from a thousand
throats and made it all the nobler. What a journey it waS that night from the firing line along tho hill S'i' San Juan, where our soldiers lay on tluir rifles, down tho long, winding muddy road to Siboney, where is the arniy'.-s base! Here is the hospital to which all the wounded must come eventually if they be spared, and toward it, from tho crack of tho first rifle on this morning of the opening struggle until the night merged into another day, those not too badly crippled dragged their maimed and shattered selves in hopo of aid. The field hospitals were overrun. The ambulances were crammed with men who could not walk. Supply and ammunition wagons had been called into service, but still they were not sufficient, and so poor luckless devils with broken arms, with bullets through their chests, their thighs, thejir legs, crojitslewly in with a patience that was marvelous.
From San Juan bill to Siboney tha circuitous road made necessary l.y the mud and the mountains covers a 'distance of about i'k'lit miles. Formerly it was scarcely more than a mountain trail, sound enough under foot, but the

"We gave them h—1, didn't we?" said a wounded vo' anteer to a passing rognlar. "That's what we did, but they can fight some, too," w.*s the reply.
Past tho first ford the road darkens and grows muddy. The trees are highor. They stretch back in forest grandeur a half a mile, and they are deathtraps. They hide tho bitterest, the cruelest, the most, uncivilized fighters in all Chirstendom, the Spanish guerrillas. They are up iu the tree tops sharpshooting. Soldier or civilian, well or wounded, it matter^ not to them. A rifle cracks and a budlef whines by your head. You seek the cover by tho roadside and make your way along as silently as possible. The wounded plod wearily on, some of them too'weak to hide*
Every now and then you hear that one of them has been hit. Occasionally a soldier on watch fires ba( at the distant flash and for a moment you bavo peace. Past another lord you keep on your way, leaving behind you the hill of K1 Pozo, where Captain Grimes' field guns opened the action in tho morning. As you go on the road grows worse and more weird. l.'p hill ami down again it runs, with mud a toot deep in places. The feet of the wounded wayfarers sink into the miro until some of them are helpless. They are grateful when you help them, and you push on.
It is more lonely now. There is no one within sight or sound either ahead or behind, and the road is once more open. You look across the nearby stubble at the woods beyond, and you wonder if here, too, there are Spanish sharpshooters waiting and watching. You hurry, and on either side through the palms there conies a crackling as of branches being trodden underfoot. Your blood grows cold, and then you smile to yourself in a sickly sort of way as you realize that the land crabs are running from you. They ape plainly to be seen in the road now, big fellows, blue and black and red and yellow. They hurl themselves hurriedly from dangor in their peculiar awkward way, and you hate them, for you know that were you dead on that spot within an hour these vermin would have picked yoyr skull as cl^an as vvltures.
Tho never ending "road still winds on through the wood with the wounded once more dotting it. Three of them are sitting on a bowlder. Two of them have been shot in the arm, tho other bothvin the shoulder and the thigh. He is weakening fast and the others are trying tc cheer him up. "It ain't tho pain," he says, "it's the loss of blood that's killing me. How far is it now? Have we come to tho hill where the rough riders fought?-' "Not yet, answers one of the soldiers, "but it is very near."
Well, I'll get that far, anyway," if the man's response, and he struggles to his tired feet.
In the distance there can be heard the jingle of a bell. It comes closer and closer, and soon around a bend appears the head of a mule train carrying ammunition to the front. They will need it on the morrow. Behind come lumbering a half dozen wagons, carrying supplies, each with eight powerful mule." hauling it through the miry road. Tlu drivers curse and crack their whips. Tht mules struggle Into a gallop and plunge
train's bell and then tin? thunder of the wagon wheels are lost. It is as peaceful as though war did not exist. Tho land crabs l'lee in their fiendish way from hefore your feet and with ball' an hour oi steady marching yon stand 011 tho rough riders' hill. To tho right, just on the crown overlooking tho valley to tht south, are seven wooden slabs stuck intc tho earth side by side to mark wherefell the first heroes in the campaign against Santiago. A wounded man lying near the graves. Ho lifts his head at the approaching sounds. "Played out," ho says laconically. "Shot in the shoulder. Finish tho trip tomorrow."
No complaint, 110 regret, just grit. From this hill the road leads down into a thicket through which the sun never shines. Tho moon is drowned. It is as black as a cavern. Rocks, IOOEC and jagged, fill the roadway and rendei the footing unsafe. Brandies reach out from the brush and whip your face. II is uncanny. Strange insects aro singing hero ai»l thero, and far off you hear the call of tho cuckoo which so often betokens the presence of Spaniards lying in wait for the invaders. Then there comes the answering cry still farthei on, and you wonder what is going tr happen to you. Y~o6r imagination grows vivid. Dark figures appear dowr tho road. They look like meu crouching. A'dash of moonlight through rift in the overhanging clouds of trop ical foliage falls on tho dewy blade of palm and changes it into the gleaming bayonet of a Spanish soldier. The scenes of the bloody day just done have beer such as unstring nerves, and while yor chide yourself for your foolish fancies you hurry along, hurry along, hoping for the end.
And by and by it comes. You bav reached the level sandy stretch behind the ridge on which sits Siboney, and rounding the end through tho ravine which cuts down to the sea you have before you the tents and campfiros of the soldiers at the base and the cottagei of the Cubans. It has not been a pleas ant journey, but you have seen one oi the phases of warfare, and that is much.

HE'S or FIGHTING STOCK,
Hero of Snbig 2*ay Is IrUli by Dcscent and by HirOi. Captain Joseph B. Coghlan of the Raleigh, tho man who drove the German warship Irene out of Subig bay and turned the Philippine insurgents loose on the Spanish defenders of Grande island, is fully qualified to sail and fight under such a commander as Admiral Dewey. His ship took an important part in the bat tie of Manila bay, and it seems that his fighting blood is still up.
Captain Coghlan ought to be a fighter anyway, if time honored traditions aro
CAPTAIN JOSEPH B. COGHLAN.
to be considered, for he is not only of Irish descent, but is a native of Kentucky. No wonder the meddlesome Germans concluded to take their big warship out of the way of his guns.
Like many of the naval commanders who have recently played such important parts in the present war Captain Qoghlau was graduated from tho Naval academy- at Annapolis just in time to receive a baptism of lire during the civil war. Ho was on the steam sloop Sacramento during tho last year of the war, and after that served a couple of years with Captain Gridley on the Brooklyn. His service from that time took him consecutively to the Pawnee, tho Guerriere, the Portsmouth, tho Richmond, the Saugus, the Colorado, tho Mouongahela ami the Adams. This was his first command. Afterward I10 was inspector of ordnance at Leaguo Island. His promotion to a captaincy camo in 18(10.
In person Captain Coghlan is stout and below medium height. lTo has the ready tongue which goes with tho nationality from which ho sprang, but he does not uso it like one who has kissed tho blarney stone. IIo is not 1 nly a voluble talker, but is a peculiarly trenchant writer, Ho has an ability of putting fire into a letter which has won him a placo ahciou^ lunm.' wiuun
A FIGHTING CHAPLAIN.
Rev. Dwig lit Galloupe, Who Was Wounded 111 Hattle Uefore Santiago. Even army chaplains, tho sphere of whose duties is limited to attending to tho spiritual needs of tho troops and ministering to tho wounded and dying, occasionally in the excitement of battle forget their peaceful character and miuglo in the fray with all the courage and daring of old campaigners. A notable illustration of this military spirit, displayed by a clergyman, was furnished by the Rev. Dwight Galloupe, chaplain of the Ninth infantry, at tho battle before Santiago.
Ho joined his regiment at Tampa, proceeded with it to Cuba, and after tho landing marched with it to tho front. Just before tho battle of Santiago ho received a sunstroke and was ordered to return to Siboney hospital, about eight miles distant. Soon after reaching there
REV. DWIGUT &ALLOUPE.
he heard that the battle was raging, and then the wounded began to pour into the hospital. Seeing this, he started, sick as he was, to the front on foot. O11 regaining his'regiment he first confined himself to tho duties of his office, caring for the wounded as the battle progressed, but when he saw the men falling around him he tore tho red cross from his arm and, snatching,a riflo and cartridge belt from one of our fallen soldiers, began shooting liko the rest. Ho fought with desperate courage until wounded by a shell which exploded near by. When he partially recovered from the effect of his injury, he joined the large procession of the wounded on their painful journey to the hospital, about tern miles distant. Thence Chaplain- Galloupo was sent with othor wounded to Atlanta, and from there proceeded to his home in Newtek, N. J.
This fighting chaplain is the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church at Newark. After the declaration of war he offered his services to the president and was at once commissioned a post chaplain in the regular army. Although but 27 years old, Chaplain Galloupe's fame as a pulpit orator has spread throughout the country.
The double entry system of bookkeeping, now in common use, was first practiced in Italy in the latter part of the fifteenth century.
A Little Sufferer
Face, Hands ond Arms Covered
With
Scrofulous Humors-- How a Cure Was Effected. When (ivr- yc-nrs o'd my little boy had scrofula 011 his faee, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on Lis cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would fester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watehed continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helped her was Hood's Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improvement in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never returned."

CONCERNING CLOCKS.
Repeating clocks wore invented by Barlow about 1076. There was a striking clock in Westminster abbey in 1G88.
Tho invention of tho escapement la ascribed to Gerbert in 1000 A. D. Tho magnetic clock was invented by Di. Locke of Cincinnati in 1847-8.
Toothod wheels were first applied to clocks by Ctesibius about 140 B. C. It is said that Richard Harris and tho younger Galilei constructed the first pendulum.
Pendulums are affectcel by variations of density of the air, as well as by changing temperature.
The largest clock in tho world is that in Westminster abbey. It was set up on May 30, 1859.
Tho first portable dock was made in 1530. Originally clook wheels were three feet in diametor.
America practically supplies the whole world with clocks, nearly every civilized country importing them.
Railroad clocks are usually provided with a compensating arrangement of the jar to which they are exposed.
Previous to tho setting up of a clock ab Hampton court, England, in 1540, no English clock went accurately.
The earliest complete clock of which an accurate record exists was made in tha thirteenth century by a Saracen mechanic.
The first stroke of the hour in a striking clock is supposed to take place at exactly the sixtieth second of the sixtieth minute.
Tho Westminster clock has been so remarkably uniform that for years the error has only reached threw seconds on 8 per oent of tho days of the year.
Most of tho Internal part of watches and clocks, except the pinions and actions, ia usually made of brass, because of its duotillty at ordinary temperatures.
The original lntentfqn in constructing clocks that would run eight days without winding was to give the forgetful or absentminded one day's grace beyond the week.
The first clock on the stage that kept time was in the Westminster hall soene in the second act of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Iolanthe" at the Bljon theater in Boaton in 1883,
