tteries to bear, which soon drove those of the Confederates and their supporters back into the woods, where Colonel Wier, with a heavy force, The Tenth and Thirteenth, and a part of the Second and Eleventh Kansas and Twentieth Iowa. charged upon them. Then ensued a musketry fight for three hours, the National artillery doing admirable service at the same time. Lieutenant Tenney, with six 10-pounder Parrotts, unsupported, repelled a heavy infantry attack, during which the Confederate General Stein, of Missouri, fell. At about the same time an attempt to capture the batteries of Rabb and Hopkins was repelled, to the great hurt of the assailants. Night ended the conflict, and the Nationals slept on their arms on the battle-field, expecting to renew the struggle in the morning. But the Confederates had no desire for more fighting, and retreated under cover of the darkness. Before the dawn, Hindman asked for a personal conference with Blunt concerning the burial of the dead. It w

other act, the Governor was invested with despotic power — even verbal opposition to his assumptions of authority being constituted treason; while every citizen liable to military duty was declared subject to draft into active service at Jackson's will, and an oath of obedience to the State Executive exacted. Under these acts, Jackson appointed ex-Gov. Sterling Price Major-General of the State forces, with nine Brigadiers — Parsons, M. L. Clark, John B. Clark, Slack, Harris, Rains, McBride, Stein, and Jeff. Thompson, commanding in so many districts into which the State was divided. These Brigadiers were ordered by Maj. Gen. Price to muster and organize the militia of their several districts so fast as possible, and send it with all dispatch to Booneville and Lexington, two thriving young cities on the Missouri, respcectively some forty and one hundred miles west of Jefferson, and in the heart of the slaveholding region. This call having been made, Jackson and Price, fearing an att

m the two mountain howitzers attached to the Third Wisconsin cavalry, was directed upon them further on my right, with good effect. It was here that the rebel General Stein fell. A few minutes after this last repulse of the enemy by Lieut. Tenny, a rebel battery of ten guns, supported by a heavy body of infantry, opened from thei fire; or, to use a homely but appropriate phrase to describe it, it was a perfect blaze! It was there that, as Gen. Marmaduke informed the writer, the rebel Col. Stein fell, with a ball from the gun of some of ours through his brain. Night and darkness finally closed the battle, each party retaining the ground they had occuels think and say of the Thirty-seventh Illinois. Gen. Herron said we did the best fighting of any regiment on the field. All did most nobly. The rebels lost General Stein and several Colonels, etc., killed. Our regiment captured one standard of rebel colors, and brought off the standard of the Twentieth Wisconsin, left on the f

A musical instrument formed of a number of glasses which are tuned by filling them more or less with water, and are played by touching them with the dampened finger. The less the quantity of water the lower is the tone of the scale. Called musical glasses.) The instrument is said to have been invented by a German, and was improved by Dr. Benjamin Franklin. A stringed form is ascribed to Stein, 1788. b. Dr. Franklin's Harmonica consisted of a nest of hemispherical glasses, of different sizes, tuned, and arranged on a revolving spindle impelled by a treadle, the tips of the fingers being applied to the edges of the glasses to produce the tones. Each glass has an open neck or socket in the middle. The thickness of the glass is about 1/10 inch near the brim, but thicker nearer the aperture, which in the largest glasses is 1 inch deep, with an aperture 1 1/2 inch wide. These d

ann, a mechanism like the clavichord to strike the string at its midlength, by which the harmonic sounds were heard at the same time the whole string was sounded. Stein invented the vis-a-vis, or double harpsichord, which was played by a performer at each end. Burney refers to a transposing harpsichord of 1760: By drawing out the nd preferred the clavichord, which was, as Forkel says in his Life of Bach, poor in tone, but on a small scale extremely flexible. After Silbermann came his pupil Stein, upon whose piano-fortes Mozart so loved to play (1777). Frederici, a fellow-pupil of Stein's, made the first square piano. The farther history of the piano intStein's, made the first square piano. The farther history of the piano introduces the name of Sebastian Erard of Strasburg, who invented the escapement, which effected precision in the stroke of the hammer. He died in 1831. Ignace Pleyel, another noted maker of pianos in Paris, died the same year. Zumpe made large numbers in England, 1766, and following years. The movement invented by Mason, an Engli
