good old story, probable enough to have
actually occurred more than once, is afoat
again with two Toledo minister's names at
taehed: A eircus was in the city, and minister
No was on fire to see it, but had eOmpunctions
OF conscience. However, his liberality Of be-
lief would permit Of the children seeing all
there was TO be seen, providing they had some
gOod-sized masculine protector with them. But
unfortunately for him he had 40 children, and
was therefOre-to use an unOTtbodox expression
in hole" Finally he hit upon plan. He
went to another preacher and tried TO borrow
his iye-year-Old boy as a companion 70 the
circus. But it wouldn't work, No. 2 remark

The 18th Ohio.

To THE EDITOR: have been reading THE
TRIBUNE and watching to see if any of the
Second Brigade, Third Division Seventeenth
Corps, would write to THE TRIBUNE, and at
last ID. w. Wood, of the Goth Ohio, has led off.
Well do | remember the 22d of July, 1864. l
saw Gen. Mcpherson ride along our line for
the last time. My comrade of the Goth is mis-
taken about our brigade commander on the
22d, for Gen. Leggett was commander of the
Third Division, and Gen. r. K. Scott was our
brigade Commander until he was captured and
then Col. G. Z. Wiles took command of the
Second Brigade.
Boys of the Second Brigade, do you remem-
Der how we jumped over our works and
fought on one side and then on the other?
think it was one of the hottest fights of the
war. Gen. Force commanded the First Bri-
gade, Third Division, until he was wounded
was on the skirmsh line at one time that
day over towards Atlanta, and Ira Rhinehart
commanded our company, and l assure you it
was hot place and we came near being taken
in by the rebels. Boys of the Second Brigade,
let us hear from you; keep the ball rolling.
You need not be ashamed OF the Third Divis-
ion, Seventeenth Corps, (Logan's old diyision.)

That Lonely Grave.

To THE EDITOR: In communication to
The TRIBUNE, from T. Cotton, late Chaplain
OF the 129th ILL.,, Pnrdy, Tenn, in reference
to that lonely grave, four and a half miles
north of Corinth, Miss, he claims to have the
right clue, in a private letter from c. B.
Thatcher, Bonanza, Colo, and further, from
Thatcher's letter written at the request of
Comrade VIM. Miller, who states that he saw
this soldier killed by a tree. Now, that lonely
grave is certainly that of my brother, who
belonged to Co. c. nth Ohio. If any COM
rade can give any further information through
the columns of THE TRIBUNE, or address
ing me, / will feel grateful, for it is my
intention, if the grave can be located, to bring
the remains home. / received a letter from
Capt. Smith, Co. c. 77th Ohio, in June, 1862,
stating that my brother was killed May 80
1862, and when shot was sitting by tree, and
was buried there; said tree being about four
and half miles from Corinth, not far from the
Purdy road. M. HAYS Co. +, 18th Ohio,

REUNIONS.
Reunion of the 2sa Pa. Cav.


G. w. Daugherty, Carmichaels, Pa sends us
the following account of the Reunion of the
22d Pa. Cav:
The Reunion held here on the 22d
inst. was a complete success. The proceed
ings were opened by the assembly of Cumber-
land Post No. 265, the delegation marching to
the Grove of Mr. J. w. Hathaway, half
mile south Of town, where ample preparations
had been made to receive large crowd. The
invitation had been extended to eight or 10
GAR Posts and to all soldiers within reach.
About 500 or 600 of the old veterans assembled,
and at 10 a. m. the Commander of Post No. 265
g. w. Daugherty-called the assembly to
order in front of the main stand, and intro
duced DIR. J. B. Laidley, late Surgeon of the
S5th Pa, who made the address of welcome on
the part of the citizens. Maj III. A. Myers,
President of the association, responded on the
part of the Ringgolds and all other soldiers
present in a very neat and well-timed reply.
The Major then took charge of the meeting,
and the Historian of the regiment-Prof. T. III.
Crago, of Co. ID, Wheeling, w. Va-gave the
results of his labors in collecting chronolog-
ical history of the regiment.
A free dinner was contributed by the citizens
not only for the soldiers, bat for all who came
At l:30 o'clock p. m. the assembly was again
sounded in front of the main stand for the re-
organization of the association. The Commit
tee on Constitution and Bylaws read their
report, and a constitution was adopted. The
election of officers resulted in the choice of
Capt. Geo. w. Jenkins, of East Bethlehem,
Washington Co., Pa, as President; j. N. Horn,
ZolIarsville, Pa; f. II. Grago Wheeling, w. Va,
and Adam Wickerham, Mohn's City, Pa, Vice
Presidents; Hopkins Motfitt, East Bethlehem,
Pa, Treas; Thos. j. Crago, Carmichaels, Pa,
Rec. Sec; G. w. Richie, Middletown, Pa, Cor.
Sec. The place selected for the next Reunion
is West Union, Pa, and Aug. 81, 1885, as the
time
The time having now arrived g o'clock p.
m.) for the sham battle, everything else was
suspended to witness the parade. battery
was placed upon sioping eminence about one
mile east of town, and was charged in front by a
column of infantry, and on their left flank and
rear by squadron of cavalry. After the assault
and capture of the battery, which was done in
good order both columns united and charged
toward the citizens who had followed to see the
fun. The column was again formed and
marched toward town, firing volleys as they
went, and closing with a final salute in the
public square. AT dark the assembly was again
sounded for grand Campfire. A great many
of the soldiers responded to the calls for a
speech, a big yarn, or a song, and thus the time
passed until a late hour.

WESTERN SOLDIERS HOME
Reservation Proposed for SoIdiers-Homestead.
limited with SoIdiers, Hnme

At the last session Congress passed a bill au-
thorizing the managers of the Soldiers Homes
to erect Home in one of the States OF Terri
tories west of the Mississippi on a tract of land
containing not less than 325 acres
There is large number of ex-EniOn voIun-
teer soldiers who are desirous to, but have not
the means OF opportunities to avail themselves
of the benefits of the homestead laws. Under
this act they might be enabled to 10 so.
If the managers viii select tact Of Gov
ernment land, as they can do, and by the aid
of the President and the Secretary of the IN
terror have it declared q reservation for that
special purpose, containing from 100000 to
100000 acres of land, upon which 20 erect the
Home, they can thus enable large number Of
deserving patriots, who fought 20 preserve the
Government and the Republic in its entirety
from destruction, to take up hOmesteads and
thus become racy of the soil and leave de-
scendants worthy of them to inherit said homo
steads, who VIII endeavor in peace TO be as pa
triotie as their fathers were in war These
men are yet sufficiently able to work so as to
improve said hOmeSteads, as witness the work
performed By the veterans at the Soldiers
Home near this city, and il is far better for
them to work for themselves on their owl, land
than to rust ont in an eleemOsynary institu-
ton, which at best is only adapted for the help
less or invalids.
BY obtaining homcsteads they viii become
self-sustaining and independent, and by work.
ing together in clearing and fencing and put
ting up dwellings they can DO great deal Of
service for mutual benefit in the early stages Of
settlement.
As the Government has enabled the Indians
to take up homesteads in severalty on some OF
their reservations there cannot be any reason
able objection made TO aiding in this way the
patriot soldier.-J. A. LYNCH, Washington,

Mrs. Adaline P. Kent, Senior Vice President
of the Department of New Hampshire and Ma
tional Corresponding Secretary, writing to the
New Hampshire Veterans Adrocate, comph-
ments the retiring National President and COM
pliments her successor in the following:
The retirement of our beloved and popular Presi-
dent, Mrs. Il. Florence Barker, whose amiable and
digniied presence lent to each session a spirit of
harmony and peace was deeply regretted espec-
tally by the Eastern delegation, she has labored
long and untiringiy in the cause we so much love,
and also to establish National organization; but
she positively refused a reelection, after receiving
the fattering compliment of unanimous re-nom-
ination. But we need have no fear while under
the leadership and guidance of that earnest and
able woman, Mrs. Kate B. Sherwood, of Ohio,
whose signal services during the past year have
led to such large achievements and gratifying re-
suits.

The annual Reunion of the New Hampshire
Veteran Association will take place at Weirs,
Aug. 26 to 20, and the Woman's Relief Corps
of New Hampshire have received from them
and accepted an invitation to meet with
them at that time. This is the first invita-
tion ever extended the Relief Corps officially
in New Hampshire, and almost their first pub
lie recognition. So writes the Department
President, who appreciates the compliment ex-
tended. There are to be three Camp-fres. One
is to be under the direction of Department
Commander Linehan, one under direction of
Col. Dana King, of Nashua, N. H., and the
third has been placed in charge of the Wom-
ans Relief Corps. This is an entirely new de-
parture, and, under the circumstances, the
ladies earnestly hope to make success of it,
as there is no doubt but they will do,-as the
President, Mrs. Matte B. Mouton, the Senior
Yice-President, Mrs. Adaline p Kent, and Mrs

workers, and they have the matter specially in

Dakeyne wrote "The University of the
South was first suggested and q plan of
it outlined by the late Bishop of Louis
lana in a pamphlet addressed to the
Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the
South. This pamphlet was warmly
received. The Bishop issued an ad-
dress on the subject, and a Board was
formed, which met for the first time
on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, on
July 4th, 1857, their object being to
take steps to found university of the
highest order So well was the scheme
received that ia short time the pro-
iected university was in possession of
an estate of ten thousand acres and an
endowment fund of 100000. On
Oct. 10th, 1860, the foundation stone
was laid in the presence of nearly g.
900 people, and there seemed every
promise of brilliant and useful future.
Here the curtain falls for while. The
war came and passed over Scwanee,
and when peace was made the univer-
sity found itself spoiled of everything
save the land. In 1868, those of the
founders who had survived the wal
hestirred themselves, and, aidel 10y
Bishop Quintard, raised enough money
to warrant them in engaging staff o
professors and beginning instructions
The good work has since gone on surely

have been educated, the yearly average

named Luper, bringing up some meal
was first arrested, and at GAM. Pile,
appearing, Mcdonald covered hin
with his pistol, and he threw up hi.
hands. The next moment, L,peI
making a movement as though to es

speak to him, Piles rapidly STOPPED
and seized gun, discharging its con
tents into the breast of the Marshall
who instantly died. Piles ran and wa
fired at many times but was not cap
