ing account of q remarkable dream: One
of his comrades who had despaired of

ceased ten years before and that Lincoln,
Stanton and Butler were sitting together
in saloon in Washington City, slipping
champagne and talking about old times.
Lincoln said, addressing Stanton, ED,
wasn't there a lot of prisoners down there
in Georgia somewhere, at Andersonyille,
think they called it, when the war
ended?" Stanton replied, 81 don't know,
Abe, hadn't anything to do with that
part of the business Here's Butler, he was
! commissioner of exchange, ask him." Mr..
+ Lincoln addressed his question then to
, Butler and he replied, II did hear some
thing about a lot of prisoners down
there, but don't recOllect of their ever
being exchanged, I'll send Milford down
to see about it. In fact, the matter had
escaped my memory entirely"
milford went down to AndersOnville,
and, meeting an old man, asked him, "Do
You remember anything about = lot of
prisoners who were left here when the
war ended!" The old man answered,
