He explained that couple of days afterward they had left the Cap tain, and by dropping his head and closing his eyes a number of times showed how many days they had been separated. They seemed affected, but did not seem willing to offer assistance. Sometimes witness thought they did not understand. All day the seamen tried to make them understand, but in vain. Next morning Ninderman was sitting on his bunk, thinking, when he "broke down" A woman noticed it and spoke to one of the men, who commenced talking about the Commandant, who would be there shortly, and told him he would be taken to Belun next day.
 That evening the woman gave Kinder man little tobacco. While smoking, a tall Russian the Commandant stepped into the hut. The man mentioned the words "Jeannette" and "Americanestro' and Ninderman answered "Yes." Min derman tried German, but he shook his head. He took a chart and pointed out where the Captain was left, but the man only said something about telegram and ''St. Petersburg" and Ninderman thought telegram must be sent to St.. Petersburg before assistance could be given, and if they had to wait for tele- gram his comrades would be dead.

AN INTERESTING CAMPFIRE.

From Post and Camp.
The writer had the pleasure for the first
time last Friday evening of paying fraternal
visit to Camp ), S. of ", at 1880 South street.
We were somewhat surprised to find num-
Der of ladies' and non-members of the S. of V.
or G. A. r, occupying seats in the hall, but
q better conducted entertainment we have
learned that this was to be an open campfire, and
seldom witnessed. In a few years the ranks
of the Grand Army will be growing very thin,
and who are so fitting 10 take our places, and
fill up the vacant file as the sons Of those who
fought that tho country might live! who are
so well fitted to preserve the memories of the
mast and assist the few survivors of the wal
| of the rebellion who will be left in less than
| quarter Of a century? The g. A. r. should as
sist this organization by all the means in its
power. These boys want encouragement and
guidance, and ere long the S. of V. will be one
of the grandcst organizations in the country
and ready if needed to fall in at the call a.
their fathers did in 1861.
