Mince Pies VS.. Tracts.

We heard good story yesterday re-
lated by German who was confined IN
one of the hospitas at Nashville which
proves conclusive that sick soldiers ap-
preciate food for the stomach more than
feed for the mind.
A rebel lady visited the hospital one
morning, with negro servant, who car,
ried a large basket on his arm, covered
with white linen cloth. She approach
ed our human friend and accosted him
thus:
Are you good Union man?
| sh dat, was the laconic, reply at
the same time casting hopeful glance
at the aforesaid basket.
That is all | want to know replied
the lady, and beckoning to the negro to
follow, she passed to the opposite side OF
the room whcre IA rebel soldier lay, aud
asking him the same question, to which
he very promptly replied: Not by
id sight" The lady thereupon un-
covered the basket and laid out bottle
of wine, mince pies, pound cake, and
ohuel ucllCdCicS, Wuicu Neic : S'So'i'y -"
voured in the presence Of the Union SOL
diers, who felt somewhat indignant.
On the following morning, however.
another lady made her appearance with
a large covered basket, and she also ac-
costed our Union friend, and desired to
know if he was good Union man
Il ish by Got, Ino care what you
get; | bese Union.
Then the lady set her basket on the
table, and our German friend thought
the truth availed in this case, if it did
fail in the other But imagine the
length of the poor fellows face when the
lady uncovered the basket and presented
him with about bushel of tracts. He
shook his head dolefully aud said:
Il no read English, and pesides dat
repel on te nuter side of the house need
dem so more as me-.
The lady distributed them and left.
Not long aftcrward, along came an
other richly dressed lady, who propoun-
dcd the same question again to our Ger
man friend. He stood gazing at the
basket apparently at aloss for reply
At length he Answered her, in Yankee
style, as follows:
BY Got, you no git me this time; vot
you got nit the basket?
The lady required an unequivocal an
swer to her question, and was about to
move on when our German friend shou-
ted out.

Sick soldiers have little desire to read
tracts when thev are famished for the
want of little delicaccs so conductive to

panying them with basket of provis,

A VERY OLD MAN.-An Iowa paper
thus brags of Western productions. The
West can beat the East in raising vege-
tables. We have seen radishes in this

a man who was ninety-four years old
that day. He was born in the land of
steady habits (Woodbury. Litchield

1889. He has children sixty-four years

second time he was elected; was in the
war of 1912, and fought at Queenstown,
on the Niagara river; saw Buffalo burned
in December, 1913, and removed to HUI
ron county, Ohio, in 1876 Latterly he
has lived in Grant county, Wisconsin.
His mental faculties are in good condi-
ton, and it is refreshing to talk with a
patriot of the olden times. He is an un :.
compromising Union man, and thinks
no better of Copperheads than Washing
ton did of Tories eighty five years ago.

a SINGULAR SPECTACLE IN BATTLE
At the battle of Stone River while the men
were lying behind crest waiting, brace of
frantic wild turkeys SO paralyzed with fright
that they were incapable of flying, ran be-
tween tho men. But the frenzy among the
turkeys was not so touching as the exquisite
fright of battle rushed through the cedar
thickcts, focks of little birds nuttered and
circled above the field in state Of utter be-
wildermen, and scores of rabbits fled for
protection to our men lying down in line on
the left nesting under their coats and creep
ing under their legs in a state OF utter dis
traction. They hoped over the field like
toads ard as perfectly tanned by fright as
household pets. Many officers witnessed it,

A Remarkable Case OF Recovery
from Wounds.

A Nashville correspondent Of the Cincin-
natti Gazette says:
The most extraordinary case Of Surviving
apparently mortal wounds that has ever
come under my observation is that Of John
W. Vance, Company B, 72l regiment of
Indiana Mounted Infantry, commanded by
Colonel Miller
Early in April made riefreport Of the
case. in letter from Murfreesboro', but at
that time had NJ idea OF the wounds The
Economical malgnlty that could have induced
any one bearing the human forr1 to have in
hctcd such WOUNDS under the circumstances,
seems almost beyond conception.
While the regiment to which young Vance
belonged was scouting near Taylorsville,
Tennessee, he and a companion were taken
prisoners. During the next twenty-fonr
hours their captors treated them kindly
They neither saw nor heard anything to lead
them to suspect that any different treatment
was in store for them till they came within a
mile or two of Lebanon. Here the Rebels
wished to be free from the care of their pris.
oners. They, therefore, tied them to a tree
A Captain French, OF the Rebel army oh
jected to the plan of leaving them thus pin
ioned, and at once cooly and calmly drew
his revolver and fired three shots through
the head Of each as they were pin
ioned to tho trees. His companion was at
once despatched but as Vance was unias-
tened he fell forward on his face, and an
other of the Rebel band, named CartrigEt,
fred the fourth shot through the victims
head.
Vance assures me that he did not at any
time lose his conciousness. He heard all they
said and knew all they did. Here he lay
twenty-sx hours, during the 4th aud 9th OF
April, when he was discovered by some OF
our troops and brought into camp, and his
wounds were dressed by surgeon of one of
the Ohio regiments. Nothing was done for
him till thirty-two hours after he was
wounded. These are facts. Now for the
nature of the wounds:
They were inflicted by large revolver
used by our cavalry, and the cold-blooded
murderers fred within yard of the prsoned
victims head.
The first shot took effect abont an inch
back and below the right cheek bone, aud
came out on the opporite side about the
same distance from the left cheek bone.
The second ball entered about an inch and
half below, and little nearer the ear than
the first, and passing through in the same
line of the first, breaking the jaws and loose
ming the teeth.
The third entered the neck just below and
in a line vertical to the lower tip of the ear.
This lodged in the opposite side of the neck,
from whence the surgeon removed it.

ed by Cartright, after be had been thrown

THE ARCH REBEL. .-Accordino to thu

THE ARCH Misunderstanding to the
Richmond correspondent Of the London
Times, the stories of the i'll health of
JEFF. Davis are true. His excellency,
the head Rebel, is suffering under a Sc
we're bronchial affection, his cough is
exhaustive and distressing, and although
it is his practice to ride twenty miles on
horseback daily, his condition is such
as to inspire considerable uneasiness.
This writer however, adds statement
which is curious, and important if true.
He remarks that the extreme lateness
aud coldness of the spring have had an
unfavorabIe influence upon the Presi-
dent bronc hits, and have arrested the
early growth of spring grass.
The collacation suggests an inquiry
whether the Times correspondent regards
Davis as second Nebuchadnezrar, who
is in peril of being turned out to grass
in expiation of his sins?
