The Unsolashness of the Soldier.

tGsn. j. ~. Sprague's Memorial address.
If | were asked where, among men, could be
found an entire absence of selfshness, | should
answer it would be found the nearest to per-
lection among soldiers, well differed, well
drilled and well disciplined, who felt that they
were fighting in a good cause. Here selfish
ness seems to disappear. will be pardoned, |
trust, if j recall an incident in my own expert
ence. 1t was the night after the battle of
Corinth 1.-THE 18th of October, 1862 when every
one was well nigh utterly exhausted. About 3
o'clock in the morning OF the 9Th, while in pur-
suit of the enemy, one of those temporary hats,
moro trying than the swinging march, oc-
Cured. Without overcoat or blanket / dropped
on tho ground. / was conscious that it was
damp and cold, but was soon half asleep, and
shivering with the cold. Suddenly felt that
a warm blanket was being wrapped about me.
| was sufficiently awake to enjoy the comfort
it brought. After o half hour, perhaps, had
passed. the way was clear for US to proceed.
was then fully awake and realized that some
one had kindly deprived himself of his only
blanket to add to my comfort Diligent inquiry
failed to discover the soldier that had made the
sacrifice, and to this day am ignorant as to
who the man was who did me such kindness.

scriber and the renewal of my own subscfip-
ton. would like to hear from some one on the
taking OF Morris Island, S. c. The only incl

drowning. This happened one day while
we were bathing. On looking outside the
breakers / saw man making very poor
effort to swim. Iswam out to him, took him
by the arm, and struck out for the shore. The
men on the shore formed line by taking hold
of each others hands and waded out rs far as
they could. / finally reached the one farthest
out with my toe, and was pulled TO the Shore

A Precious Relic of cahawSa Prison.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUSEs
At a regular muster of cur Post. on June IS.
our late commander, G. D. Nichols surprised
tue comrades by presenting them with picture
of the rebel prison ut Cahawba Ala. The point
of interest IN connection with it is that the
picture was enlarged from photograph of q
charcoal sketch which COmTade Rodney jay,
sergeant Of company I, Thirteenth Illinois
volunteers, who confined at Cahawba
during 1864 and 1866, and who is now dead,
stealthily made on his rubber blanket while
prisoner. The commander Of the prison, ind
ing tout, ordered him sharply to report forpun-
ishment, but, upon seeing the sketch, forgave
him, and gave him some pencils with which to
touch it up and improve il, and allowed him to
retain it aud carry it with him to freedom and
his home, where he died, broken down BY dis
ease. 1t represents large Building InclOsing
a court, and surrounded By a stOcSade. with
the usual elevated beat" and scntries and
sentry boxes. Cannon are mounted outside
with all the muzzies pointed inward. We prize
it very highly, and cur Post instructed me to
communicate the facts TO your valued paper.
and invite correspondence and incidents OF
interest from other comrades who may have
been confined there, knowing there IS no sarer
way to reach them than through your paper.
THE TRIBUNE IS highly priced here. Il takes
precedence OF all papers-even our home paper.
The Order Is Furnishing. This ountv-Chero-
kee, not seventeen years old-has nine Posts.
We are going to have another, and form regi-
ment. This is largely due TO the uBtiring
efforts and zeal of our late commander, @. ID.

The Secular Press on the Grand Army.
Mountain Beacon, HasIeton, Pal

The patriotic impulses of our people is per-
haps nowhere better illustrated than in the
rapid growth of the Grand Army of the Re-
public. The American people are not fast in
Selling upon every new idea that springs up,
but when there has been sufficient time given
to thoroughly investigate subject, and when
it proves to be such as to recommend itself to
the American spirit, it is adopted and its prin-
clples are carried out. So it has been with the
Grand Army of the Republic. 1t was not
known in its early years that it was not some
political move for the purpose of partisan gain.
But as years have elapsed and it has become
known that nothing partisan or sectarian is
permitted to mar its harmonious workings, it
becomes more and more popular.

MAssrNG FOWLS.

Poultry cannot be successfully raised by
massing large iioeks together. 1t is certainly
in opposition 10 sanitary laws, and consequently
is in violation of nature. Colonization is the
only sure and safe course TO pursue where large
liocks are allowed to roam or mix together.
Although this mode of procedure will involve
greater outlay in the beginning, yet in the end
it is the only safe and udicious course to pursue.
The families Of twenty, thirty, or perhaps
forty fowls viii Go well together if each has
roosting room and runs sufficiently ample for
each flock. Bnt to augment the number to
sixty, eighty, or 100 TO each flock without adj
ditional space, your profits, ike dissolving
views, viii grow beautifully less. = Poultry
