before which a private soldier of a Michi-

seriiOn. The evidence showed that the
prisoner had deserted three times, on the
last occasion gin the face of the enemy"
The court martial sentenced him to be shot,
and the record Of his trial and conviction
was forwarded to General Hooker for his
approval. A short time subsequently Gen.
eral Hooker came to my quarters which ad-
joined his own, and said:
BOND, in this case against private -
what do you think had better be done? Are
there no %extenuating circumstances ?"
"None that l know of, general. He has
deserted three times"
"1sn't there something in the case upon
which you could base a Recommendation of
mercy
"Not a thing. The proof against him
was positive and not denied, and the wit
nesses say further that when he was with
his regiment he was a worthless fellow and
q constitutional coward"
"That is just the thing" said the general
positively. "The man is constitutionally q
coward, and you recommend him to mercy
on that ground. I'll tell you what's the
matter, Bond, his mother is at my quarter.

brave old hero, and turning away she ex.
claimed, with uplifted hands, "'God bles,
