A Coon ExAMPLE.-In the copperhead
Rock Island Union, of Saturday, we find the
following, in relation to holding office under
President johnson, viz:
ssAmong the recent appointments by the president
was that of John d. Strong, to be postmaster at
Jacksonville, in this state. Mr.. Strong con-
firmed by the senate, and notified OF the fact by
telegraph when he returned message declining
the position on the ground that he not sup
porter OF the presidents policy, and would not
hold office at his hands. All honor to John D.
Strong'' ~~ w.
So we say, cali honor to John D. Strong"
Now let the Union apply the example of Mr..
Strong to all the postmasters In this county
who are not supporters of the presidents pol
ICY. If it was honorable in Mr.. Strong, who
opposes the restoration policy of the presi-
dent, to refuse to hold office under him, then
1T is dishonoraole in the postmasters in Rock
Island cuonty, who oppose the president to
do so. The Union endorses the course Of
Mr.. Strong, and must. therefore, condemn the
oourse of the postmasters in this county who
oppose President johnson and his policy. "a

let silence speak for me what I ought to

In accepting these resolutions, accompa-

A Recruit from the Grave.

The war has produced many strange stories, but
few more singular than the following one, related
bv Col Ellis late of the First Missouri Cavalry, in
St. Louis paper:
A few days after a fercely contested battle par
ty of soldiers belonging to the First Missouri took
a iaunt over the battlefield, and came up to spot
where the rebel dead were buried. In one place the
hair of mans head was seen sticking out of the
ground like tuft of grass, and near by hand was
seen protruding upwards, which evidently belonged
10 the corpse that owned the head Of hair One OF
tho cavalrynen remarked TO his companions, in
spirit of thoughtless levity "See there's dead reb
reaching out for something's lets see what he wants.
In the same spirit of wanton mischief almost reck-
lessness the cavarymen took hold of the mans hand
and hauled the body out of the grave the loose dirt
falling back into the shallow hole Soon after the
man began to STIR and manifested signs of life, to
the utter establishment and horror of the resurrec
tonists The man was taken by his rescuers to their
tent and rubbed down, washed off and in few days
became as "good as new" he said that in the bat
lie he was stunned by the passage of she'll which
knocked him senseless. He was picked up among
the dead and buried like the rest. Not a scratch
was found On his body. He said that he had Joined
the rebel army, and fought the Federals long and
well but as this was his second appearance or Garth
he would now join the Federals and fight for them.
He accordingly enlisted in the First Missouri, did
good deal of tough marching and hard fighting, and
last September was mustered out of service and paid
off at Benton Barracks.

A Strange Story.
A BIT OF MEMPHIS ROMANCE.


Ten wears ago Mr.. - was married to Miss -.
For time ali went well with the happy pair, but
whether prompted by incompatiblity of temper or
through the meddlesOme interference Of relatives or
friends eve chronicler" knoweth not, only that the
demon Of discord breathed upon their young love,
and it withered as flower meath winters chilling
breath. And, to make long story short, they sep
arated. Shortly after the separation little daugh-
ter was born and then a divorce obtained-by
which party obtained it matters not. For nine
years-long weary years-they lived apart never
hearing from or speaking of each other; and yet
both remaining true to loves first bright dream
The little girl grew up and was taught to believe
that her father was dead. She had never seen him,
or been seen by him. All who shall say how Of
ten during those long, dreary years the fathers heart
yearned for the sight of his child and pinned to hear
the music of her voice.
And the mother-the wife that was-was she hap
py2 Who shall tell? Well, on the day before yes
terday the lady, accompanied by her little daughter,
walked into a business house in this city, and met
him who was once her husband and the father OF her
child coming out. They stood face to face for the
first time since their separation-nine years ago
Both stopped and gazed fxedly into each others
face The father then turned his eyes TO the child,
and STOPPING down suddenly, caught her in his arms
pressed her passionately to his bosom-ralned q
shower Of kisses upon her face; then placing her on
the floor, he gave one glance at the mother, and
turned TO go. Hearing his name called IN low
tone he turned. One look, and they were IN eacf

ments by the considerate kindness of the parte!
present. Then a hack called, and IL thirty
minutes from their first meeting they were married

Sims OF the Pen.

Gen. Taylor immortalized himself by per-
petrating one Of the grandest bulls on
record in which he attained what certain
literary professor calls ga perfection hardly
to be surpassed In his Presidential ad-
dress he announced to the American Con
gress that the United States were at peace
with all the world, and continued to cherish
relations of amity with the rest Of man
kind" Much simpler was the blunder of
an English officer, during the Indian mutt
ny, who informed the public, through the
Times, that thanks to the prompt measures
of Colonel Edward, the sepoys at Fort
Machison, "were all unarmed and taken
aback, and being called upon laid down
their arms" There was nothing very aston
ishing in an Irish newspaper stating that
Robespierre cleft no children behind him,
except brother, who was killed at the same
time" but it was startling to have an Eng
lish journal assure US that her Majesty
Queen Victoria was 1.-The last person to
wear another mans crown. Addison lays
it down as q maxim, that when q nation
abounds in physicians it grows thin OF PEG

not, the stout-hearted soldier suggests that
the best way TO get rid Of the cholera is to
make short work of the doctors. Among
the obituary notices in weekly paper, not
many months ago, there appeared the name
of certain publican with the following Gu
logium appended to it; b" He was greatly
esteemed for his strict probity and steady
conduct through life, he having been sub
