"A Veteran Expressman To Be Retired with
HOnors.
A few days since F. c. Fargo, formerly agent
of the American Express at Springfield, Mass,
and more recently of the general office at Buffalo
N. Y, was appointed assistants superintendent Of
the American Express in territory now under the
supervision of e. w. Sloane. The Journal learns
that E. w. Sloane, who is the veteran official of
the company, is soon to be placed on the retired
list with full pay, and that F. C. Fargo is to sue
coed him superintendent Mr. Sloane has
been one of the hardest working men on the
pay-rolls of the company. and Is credited
with operating his division with more
economy than that of any division of the com
pany. Still, the express business of this division
has not suffered through such economy. Mr..
Sloane, although a strict disciplnarian, is very
popular with agents, messengers and all EN-
ployes. The higher officials of the company, IN
placing him on the retired list, do it to make his
labors lighter, Mr.. Sloane, for some months
past, having been out of health. So successful
an express official has he been that he will be
continued on the advisory board. Mr.. Fargo,
who will assume his most arduous duties is q
bright, gentlemanly fellow, full of business, and
impresses one favorably at first introduction,
and improves with acquaintance.

Among the leaders of the Woman's Relief
Corps of New York, is Mrs. Davis, Past Pres.
of Mansfield Corps, No. 5, and wife Of Major
Davis, of Mansfield Post, No. IS, G.. A. z.
1t was she who accompanied the famous 69th
n. Y, called the " Irish Legion" during its first
battle, riding beside her husband, the Major,
In uniform made for her, with the Fegimental
badge on her hat. At the beginning of the
war she made herself dear to the regiment by
a deed of bravery. 1t seems that before the
first battle of Bull Run the 18th had been paid
off and many of the men had two or three
months pay in their pockets on the day before
the battle.
The Chaplain of the regiment was Father
Riley, an Irish Catholic priest, who had the
personal friendship and confidence OF the whole
regiment. Many of the men gave their pay to
the Chaplain to be sent home to their families,
reserving only a little tobacco money. OF
course the Chaplain had to be with the regi-
ment when it went into battle, and, fearing he
might lose his own life, he looked about for
some one to entrust the money TO, which sum
was about 1900. Mrs Davis was to remain
behind to do hospital service if needed, so
Father Riley gave the money to her. 1t was in
bills of large denomination principally, and did
until after the battle that roIl-eal showed the
full strength of the regiment. Many had been
killed, captured, or were missing. The men
had been scattered in the retreat, and when
Mrs Davis and Father Riley met again she hau
had the $1,000 with her two days during the
excitement and uncertainty Of that eventful
battle and retreat

Unnatural Natural History.
TFron. An he Year Round.l

The pelican feeds its young with the life
blood from its own bleeding bosom. This is 3
bea utiful mistake that will live forever in SYM
boil and legend. The "real live !" pelican has q
large bag under her unwieldly besk, and Dig
ging with the beak toward the breast, she feeds
her brood and soils her feathers with red
stained tidbits of fish from the bag. The night
ingale leans her breast against thorn and sings
in pain. In the old poets not only has she
thorn in her breast but she puts it there. In
stead of being the voice of lonely love she
ought to be the emblem of those discontinued
people who, in q position enviable to others,
first make their own troubles and then spend
their lives in self-commiseration. Of course
the nightingale is not such fool as she looks
in poetry Swans are said to sing death song;
this Is poetry too. But they are Matched dur
ing thunder; and this is prose-the belief Of
otherwise sensible folk. Crows and curlews
hate each other so that their eggs put in the
same nest will all burst Talking of eggs the cock
of the south of England lays an egg when the
hen has ceased laying; 1t is small, insignif-
can't affair with no yolk in it, clearly an anna
teur attempt. These cocks eggs are to be
found In Sussex, if nowhere else. As we have

The Site of Camn Ford.

To THE EDITOR: I have recently visited
the site Of Camp Ford, Tyler, Tex, and pos
sibly mention of its present appearance may
be of some interest to the boys who were i'm
prisoned there The stockade has been torn
down, and there is large, deep ditch by the
south gate. OF course all the headquarters are
gone, and missed those three oaks under which
church services were held. However, recog-
nized many familiar places. Col. A. J. H. Du-
games old chimney remains to mark the spot
he claimed as his real estate, and Capts Croker
and Johnsons headquarters were easily found
as also the place where Serg't Kemper and
used to sleep our pole bed. A railroad now runs
scross the northeast corner of the grounds. The
bodies of those who died at Camp Ford have
been removed to Jefferson Tex, and l counted
