THE MAJORS STORIES.

And the owner climbed up in Januaree,
And he didn't yet down till
"By Jove ~ he exclSimed, "don't
that look like Rufe Ingalls, ?"
The gentleman he had noticed
didn't look anything like General
IngaIls, but it had the effect OF start
ing the Major. .s..
"Did you ever hear how Ingalls,
put old Stanton in the 'ninsteen
hole once, during the war ?"
We never did, aud thought it was
seldom done successfully with Sec
retary Stanton.
swell, Ingalls, got him there once.
and did it when he didn't think OF
putting up job on bin, either. You
see, Ingalls, aud Jim Nesnith, Sena
tor he was then, from Oregon, were
the thickest kind of chums- knew
each other in the old Oregon times
before the war, and they had quar-
ters together during the war in one
of those old houses ON Pennsylvania
avenue-l. think il was about where
that big grocery is now, just across
from WilIard's Hotel, and Ingalls,
always stayed there when he would
come up from the front on business
They used to have the jolisst stag
supper parties when Ingalls, was here
that you ever saw. You remember,
Ingalls, from 1868 to the wind up
WAS Chief Quartermaster or Of the army
of the Pot mac, and after there had
been big move or battle he had to
come up to Washington to see abou,
getting things Strengthened out as to
transportation, etc. Well, Stanton,
while he WAS Secretary OF War, was
everlas'ingly suspecting everybody,
and had that cuss Baker nosing into
Pverybody's quarters, and Baker told
Stanton how thick Nesmi,h and In
gals were. Nesmith was then one
of the few Democratic Senators In
Congress, but he was loyal old fel
low, and as full of sense rs sorreI
horse, as they say up in Michigan
Stanton didn't think in those days
that a man could be loyal and
Democrat both;L so, by .Jove,. he
jumped to the conclusion that In.
gals was up to some game or other
he might have been, but it wash't
stealng,, or ccuspiring, and he set
his crowd to watching Rufe. One
time when Ingalls, was here after +
big fight, he was telling Nesplith.
about it, and the old fellow got it
into his head that he would like to
go down to the front sometime aud
see a battle. Ingails encouraged
the idea, and twas agreed that the
next time move on foot that prom
ised fight, Ingalls, should telegraph
him in time to come dowr. The ar
my headquarters thon was connected
by telegraph with Washington, so
that Secretary Stanton and the Pres.
ident and old Brains could boss the
job from here, and all-the wires ran
right into a room in the War De
partment, where Stanton had a con
fdential operator on hand all the
time. Well, sir, one fine morning
-
IN came the operator TO Stanton, in
the corner room where Crosby is 10.
Gated now, his eyes bulging out with
holy horror, and handed the Secre.
tary a mysterious dispatch, which
Immediately proceeded to raise merry
hallelujah." (The Major didn't say
"hallelujah," but it don't require
italics to print it.)
ut was a cipher dispatch from In.

addressed to Senator Nesmith.'
