A True Story of the War That Surpasses

Many Old FictionS.
"Too Strange Not To Be True"
wrote Lady Fullerton, when she desired
a title for her novel which should dis
tinctly express her ideas on the subject
of improbability. TOO Absurd Not to
Have Happened" might be the watch
word of the humorist, who knows very
well that the incongruities of daily life
are far more remarkable than anything
he is likely to invent. L used to think
that Cornelius O'Dowd's story of the
enthusiastic old lady who sent an enor-
nous pin-cushion to Garibaldi in
prison was a delightful piece of non
sense that must have emanated from
the writer's brain. / dare say now
that she really did send it, and pair
of silk covered toilet bottles to match.
Some time ago l CHANGED in CONVEX
sation to allude to one OF the charities
practiced during the civil war by few
ladies in Philadelphia. who were in the
habit of sending food and clothing to
the Southern prisoners at Fort Della
ware. Those were DAYS when the most
simple necessaries of life had risen to
an enormous value, and the shoes,
stockings and flannels, to say nothing
of tobacco, pickles and jellies, all cost
more than it was pleasant to contem-
plate. Thanks to the unfailing courtesy
and kindness of the Federal officers,
these offerings, though sent by South
ern sympathizers, were always safely
delivered to the sick and wounded
prisoners, who watched for them
with a grateful eagerness that well re-
paid the trouble and cost. Speaking
of these things, lady who had list
ened with great attention now claimed
for herself a similar work of mercy.
but we used to send our boxes to
our own soldiers at Libby prison." she
said, with gentle assumption of SUI
perior patriotism that could not suf-
ficiently admire, though doubling
greatly that it had ever been worth
their while to risk their goods on such
a perilous and uncertain journey.
why, l remember" she went on,
chow we used to spend hours and hours
making pocket pin cushions"
Pocket pin cushions!" l repeated
Yes" she said, with tender and true
feminine sympathy for distress. The
poor fellows had not even place to
put their pins"
answered nothing. Garibaldi and
his tribute melted into insignifcance
before this thoughtful charity. Those
who recOllect the condition of our cap
tured soldiers, the starved and ragged
prisoners of a starved and ragged enc
my--those who remember them when
released, who heard their statements,
or who even saw the highly sensational
photographs of gaunt and haggard
skeletons that circulated freely through
the country-can perhaps appreciate
the grimness of the joke-fit for the
