our worthy surgeon thought it prudent
to confne us in houses and feed us on
light diet, such as toasted bread, rice,

our corpulency within bounds. Strange
to say, our "fatteniUg qualities" do not
extend further than under the jaws and
on the sides Of the face. In one par

pigs or persons who have the ntuhps

our odd appearance. have begun to
believe it myself, as there is certain
pain in my eating apparatus, which is
said to be peculiar to that disease.
The measles have we'll nigh gotten
through with our boys. There is but
little more tim Der for them to work on,
and if no other contagious disease gets
among us, after the mumps are through,
we will be quite healthy, think,-as

GEN. ULYSSES S. GRANT, who is in
command at Cairo, and led our forces
so gallantly in the recent expedition
against Fort Donelson, is the oldest
son of Jesse r. Grant, VINO nearly a
half century ago resided in Ravenna.-
The elder Grant carried on what has
since been known as Prentiss' Tannery,
and resided in the family of Col. Wm.
Frazer. He removed from here about
1920, and now resides at Covington,
Kentucky. .
Gen. Grant was born at Point Pleas
ant, Clermout county, Ohio. The next
year his parents removed to Georgetown
Brown county, Ohio. From that place
young Grant was introduced into West
Point, through the influence of Hon
T. L. Hamer. He graduated in 1943
and was appointed Lieutenant in the
u. S. Infantry-was in fourteen battles
in the Mexican war, and was brevetted
several times for gallantry. In '48 be
resigned his commission in the army
being then Captain. When the wal
broke out he went into service as {
mastering officer shortly after became
Colonel Of regiment, aud soon after
assuming that position was appointed
Brigadier General. He is now in com
mand of division, acting as a Majol

REBEL INDIANS IN BATTLE. All ac.
counts concur in representing that the
Indians ut the Pea Ridge battle were OF
little use, except for whooping, toua-
hawking, scalping, and robbing. They
would not stand before the big guns a
moment, but would scatp and rob the
dead. One account says:
The Indians were under the command
of Pike, Sta ndwartz, and Ross. They
proved of little account, except tOplun'
der and irife the dead aud scalp the
wounded, of which fact Col. Bussey, oI

MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.-.Have you made
one heart happy to-day? How calmly you seek
your pillow how sweetly In all this world
there is nothing so sweet us giving comfort to
the distressed, as getting sun ray into tho
gloomy heart. Children of sorrow meet us
wherever we turn; there is not a moment that
tears are not shed and sighs uttered, yet how
many Of these sighs are caused by our own
thoughtlessness; how many a daugter rings
the very soul of a fond mother by acts of un-
kindness and ingratitude. How many husbands
By one little word, make a whole day Of sad
hours and unkind thoughts. How many wives,
by recrimination, estrango and embitter loving
hearts, How many brothers and sisters meet
but to vex each other, making wounds that no
human power can heal. If each one worked
upon this maxim day by dsy-"strive to make
some heart happy jealousy, revenge, mad
ness, hate, with their kindred associates would
forever leave earth.

Amy RATIoYs.-lhe average cost Of an
army ration is now about Is 3-5 cents. Pre-
vieus to the war it was l4N cents. The in
crease is made by an increase Of tho -four ra
ton and tho addition Of potatoes, molasses,
rice and hominy, which we're not included in
the rations. The rations are abundant, and
some regiments save II 900 month Of over
plus, which they exchange for luxuries. An
attempt has been made to add butter TO the
rations, but tho soldiers get this article by ex
change, and its addition to the ration seems 10
be asked tor by the contractors rather than
the soldiers.
