war that “LtroiiKht him out” was in the very uncompromising position of quartermaster at the headquarters of a military rendez-

vous remote bv many miles and leagues from the scene ef battle, iiow Ids nnlent nature must l ave ciiafed iutlieUull routine of his work while others were winning their spurs a: the front may lie imagined by any who l ave endured the thwarting* of an bit.ou i.nticr like circumstances. For "Little I’hil” the span of time between a desk in S:. IjOtiisnnd tbeconiinand of mi army, with rank of major general, was only three years. And his cloud liud its silver lining, too, for influential persona around headquarters saw the waste of en ergy that resulted from holding Sheridan back and exerted themselves to secure hi.s appointment to thecommand of a regiment of cavalry which had received marching orders to go to the field of fighting. He never knew himself just bow it happened, but it was not through hi* own direct seeking and was a complete surprise as well as a joyful one. The regiment was the Second Michigan cav it y, fresh from the recruiting barracks, and the men shared the elation of the new colonel when the trumpeter sounded the “Boots and Saddles” call, and tli^y went whirlit.g away to the army lines in front of Corinth, Miss., to join a column of raiders about to start on a foray into the

enemy's country.

Sheridan did not fail to speedily bring his achievements Up to l he level of his promises and even beyond them. The raid was a brilliant one. The general of Sheridan's brigade was promoted, and the colonel, on whose Commission the ink was scare', lydry, succeeded to the honors ami rcspotisibilitie.. of a brigade eonnnamler. More than that, his force was stationed by itself on an exposed position, d() miles in advance of the inniii army, tamp was pitched near Kienni, mu posts were established tit points of danger and Sheridan set about making acquaintance with his men, reconnoitering the count ry and gc.ling matters in desirable shape, as he expressed it, for himself anil the cause be served. The Confederates, however, held anotiier view of the proceedings, and set on foot j plans it v u-iauce withrsheridan’s—namely, to cut short ids occupation of Itienni—in j fact, to annihilate him and all bis com-| maud. The chief of the (conspiracy to disturb Sheridan's well spent leisure was Cieneral James H. Chalmers. With a following of t’.OODor !J,IKK) troopers lie marched i out on the Itienzi road early on the mornj iug of July 1. drove the Michigan pickets | from their beats and pursued them as far as to t he junction of roads just outside of the hamlet of Bonneville, close to tsheridan’s camp. At that pointThere was some protection from standing timber and the handful of pickets prepared to make a bold defense. They bad seen only t he heads of two Confederate regiments in the opposing force and reported accordingly to their commander, who promptly ordered out four companies of the .Second Michigan, with Captain Archibald P. Campbell at their

bead.

The Michigan men dismounted and stealthily moved forward to feel the enemy's strength and intentions. It, might lie only a cavalry raid, or it might be a feint made at that point ns a "cover” for a stronger attack somewhere else. It is bad tactics for a commander to throw his main strength against a fraction of the enemy, having his (i he enemy’s) main force free to spring an attack oh some unguarded point meanwhile. Many novices fall into that error, but “Little Phil” was not of that kind. He sent tlie right men to the light place, and Captain Campbell's fourcompaiiics held ul bay two whole regiments Of Chalmers’ i troupers that had deployed on both sidi's of t ’ , - ' , !. .1 ...g lio <• it luc ' handful of pickets and their meager re | serves. Seeing that Campbell was in ae tnal danger of being bruslad aw.»> by odds 1 of five to one, as it then appealed, Sheridan told him to hold on as ion- as poasibie, and if diLeu retire slowly, lighting at every ; step. This would give the leader time to , get the reserves out of camp and also to make ready n flying column toactwncnj ever chance offered to baffle the enemy by a counter assault. The entire force present with Sheridan consisted of the Seciri'' Michigan and Sot - ■ oed l ovn cavalry, uainbeiii.g together oai lighting men.

they rode too hot for n ortal to endure. The riders were scatv ivdhy the lire anti finally gave up the attack. Repeating rifles in hands of cavalrymen fighting on foot were something rarely met at that stage of the war, and Chalmers rightly inferred that there could not lie much of that sort of opposition to contend with. He determined to flank (’ampbell’s little hornet’s nest by spreading out his ample forces so as to ovt rlap Sheridan's flanks. That move it was beyond the means of Campbell to check, and his men began the slow withdrawal Sheridan hail ordered them to make in an emergency. The Confederates seized the moment to press the charge again in front, but Campbell’s men turned upor. them desperately, and it quickly developed into a band to band combat. The Michigan men had destrqyed Hictr line by moving backward, so that only groups of half a dozen men here and there retained their touch of elbow. The. e were singled out for attack by groups of Confederates, hut the brave Michigan lads, when brought to close quarters, clubbed their rifles and resisted step by step. In this way the front line was drawn back to that of the lowans, and the two united were so strong that Chalmers gave up his direct attacks and once more tried to flank Sheriidan’s little hand. The wave of Confederate troopers that was brought to temporary halt by the sturdy bulwark of Michigan and Iowa boys flowed around each end of the line, threatening to engulf the small army. Again Sheridan's genius came to the res cue. In his travels over the country round about the camp he had discovered an obscure wood road leading from Booneville station off to the left of Chalmers’ position in a sweeping circuit to his rear. He had also picked up a lank, tall and taw ny Mississippi native who knew every foot of ground as well us one knows his own dooryard and n tuined him as a paid guide. Taking tbe wood road aud the guide a“ elements in a new, bold plan, be told oil two companies of the Second Iowa and two of the Second Michigan, numbering »7 sabers in all, placed Captain R. A. Alger of the Second Michigan, with the guide for a pilot, at their head and sent them trotting gently down the wood road toward theConfederate rear. Alger's orders were not to deploy or separate his handful, but maintain a solid column, and on reaching some suitnhle point behind Chalmers' line charge like a bolt through his ranks toward the Union front again, bringing out such of his followers as should survive the daring and dangerous melee. It was a forlorn hope indeed, hut llie situation was so desperate as to warrant the sacrifice of the few to save the niaiij An hour was allowed Captain Alger to complete his circuit. Meanwhile Sheridan put. in his last reserves, his station anil: camp guards, and llie fight was sharp and j deadly, us well us appuicnliy hoj eless. Fui

CHARACTER IN THE PALMS. The Study of tli«* Hand Huh Become ti Social

Fad.

pecial Correspondence.] Chic*' o, Jan. 11.—Barnum’s alleged remark that people like to lx? humbugged has received a fresh exemplification in the ! palmistry fad, which has become somewhat prevalent in social circles in this city. Reading palms enables a few “pro- ; feasors" to gather a f>w dollars from the gullible and superstitious and serves to [ furnish diversion for those upon whom | time itangs heavily. By attention to a j few simple rules practiced by successful palm renders every one can read his own palm and get what satisfaction there may l>e in something which has only a modicum of truth for a basis of what it

reveals.

The left hand should be studied, nn- j

less the itersou be left handed, but incase of doubt the other hand should be con-' suited for auxiliary evidence. The thumb and fingers are each divided by the joints into three phalanges. The intuitive faculties are represented in the first, tea- i sening powersin the second and material

instincts in the third phalanges. Beginning from the forefinger, tho j

fingers are named Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo and Mercury. The fleshy pads at the !

base of each finger are termed “mounts” Tlle BANNER TlM MS has made this possible by its readers and are named after tho fingers below . . , , , r , , > . which they occur. The “bail,” or third taking advantage of our oiler below and securing one of our

phalange of the thumb, is called the mount of Venus. In the center of the palm is the plain or triangle of Mars, j Below the mount of Mercury is the mount of Mars. Extending from the | last mount up to the wrist is the mount I

of Luna, or the moon.

The line of life should, if perfect, com- | pletely encircle the mount of Venus. A j long, regular line, deep, but narrow, | soft in color, denotes long, healthy life

and good character.

The line of Mars, or martial, should be of a clear red color. It is a “sister" or inner lino of the line of life. In soldiers it indicates success in fight; in civilians,

violence of the passions.

Tho lino of heart extends from the mount of Jupiter to the mount of Mercury. 1 f deep, of a good color and narrow, it indicates a strong, good heart, firm affection and even temper. The line of head runs from the base of tho mount of Jupiter to the mount of
