Col. Benton, Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont.
occasionally used to call at Colonel
Benton's, to pay my respects to him and
to bis gifted and intelligent family. It
seemed to me that they were the most in
tellectual family in Washington, and,
withal, so frank, fearless, truthful and sin
cere, and then so refined and courteous.
Colonel Benton was large man, with
a broad, full chest, frank, brave counte-
nance, full of determination, energy and
intelligence. His forehead was remarka-
bly, high and broad He was bald, with
the hair combed carefully over the bald
ness: His eye was light, shining and
quick; and there was great pleasantness
and kindness in his smile, but terror in
his frown. l wanted to get something
done by one of the secretaries, and
CHANGED to mention it to Mrs. Fremont.
Come Tomorrow" she said, "and see
father. He will give you letter to the
secretary, which may be of service to
YOU"
went in the morning, and was shown
into the second story back room, where
Colonel Benton was seated at table, in
his shirt-sleeves, without either vest or
coat on, writing. He had pair of buck
skin suspenders over his shoulders that
looked as if they had been made for him
by some Western constituent. His broad
shoulders and neck, looking like column
supporting noble dome
THE dome of thought, the palace of the soul, /"
he was model for sculptor. He re-
ceived me with great courtesy; got up,
handed chair, seated me, and then me
resumed his seat remarking that his
daughter, Mrs. Fremont, had told him
what l wanted, and it would give him
pleasure to furnish me with letter to the
secretary. He wrote the letter, chatted
with ME little while abont the West and
St. Louis, where l had spent the winter,
when l withdrew; and, as passed through
the parlor, down stairs, Mrs. Fremont
came to the door and said, with manner
of interest in my purposes. .-....
"Let me see your letter; como in" 7
entered and took seat, while the bright
and winning lady read the letter of her
father. o. .....'.
"Oh," said she, "Mr - is anxious
to go as minister abroad he fears some
opposition in the Senate, and wishes TO
secure my fathers influence; he also
wishes to stand high with the ladies': so
I'll write you note to him also.' 4.
With the ease of one to whom such
things were entirely familiar, quicker than
her father, Mrs. Fremont took pen and
paper from stand near by, and wrote the
note How gracefully the lady did it!
How gracefully it was worded! Genius
In a woman, when combined with per-
sonal attraction and the charm of manner
has fascination in it which the dullest
and most stupid feel, and which the LOTT
lest and the lOrdliest venerate. '..'
l once said, in the presence OF Colonel
Benton, that had heard Mr. T. j. Walk
or, the Secretary of the Treasury, say that
New Orleans would he the largest city of
the United States. He replied, Ocl. Ben

THE CALEDONIA n
The Motherless Drummer Boy.

B.F. Tavlor in recent letter to the Chi
c2co Journal, thus refers to the story Of little
Jobrny Glenn, the motherlesa atom OF a
drummer boy" aged ten" at the battle OF
Chckamauga. tie says:
"At Chickamauga he filed the Office of a
marker, carrying the suidon whereby they
form the lines; duty having its counterpart
il, the surveyors more peaceful calling, in
the flag man who futters the red slgnal
along the metes and bounds.
On the.Sundsy Of the pattle, the little TEL
lows occupation gone, he picked up gun
that had slipped from some dying h'nd' pro-
vided himself with ammunition, and began
putting in the periods quite on his own &C.
count, blazing away close to the ground, like
a FREELY in the grass. Late in the waning
day. the waf left almost alone in the whirl
of the battle, rebel colonel dashed up and
looking down at m, ordered him to surren'
der: Surrender he shouted, you little
id son of -!
The words were hardly out Of the rebels
mouth, when Johnny brought his piece to
order arms and as his hand slipped down
to the hammer he pressed it back, swung up
The gun to the position Of charge bayonet,
and as the officer raised his sabre to strike
the piece aside, the glancing barrel lifted IN
to range, and the proud Colonel tumbled
dead from his horse, his lips fresh stained
with the syllable Of vile approach he had
flung upon mothers grave in the hearing
Of her child
A few swift moments licked off by muske
shots and the tiny gunner was swept up at
rebel swoop and borne away prisoner
Suuiers, bigger but not better, were taker
with him, only to be washed back again by q
urge OF Fedora, troopers, and the prisoner
Of tbil,y minutes was again John Glenn o
ours and General Rosecrans made him a,
sergeant, and the stripes OF rank covered
him all over like a mouse in a harness, an
,ur daughter of Mr.. Secretary Chase pre-
ssnted h.!n a silver medal appropriately in
scribei, which he worthily wears, roya
order of honor, upon his left breost, and al
mtn conspire to spoil him, but, since few Ia
dies can get at him here, perhaps he may b.
saved"
