Magr der's Memory

He walked into the office of
Prothonotary Swe;tzer the other day,
and when his eyes lit on the Prothon-
atary his face frightened up.
Glow are you General Sweitzer?"
Gener Al Sweitzer took the offered
hand, but did not know who was at
the other end of it.
"You don't know me? I'm John
Sanders, of the Fourth Mlchig an In
fantry- your old brigader."
They shook hands again. John
Sanders sat down, and soon explain
ed that he had been to Washington
to look after a pension. 1t had taken
more time than he had expected and
he was pretty well down to the bot
tom of his pocket. His old COM
mander provided him with transport
tation as far as Cleveland, and then
they fell into the inevitable talk over
war times.
"And you say you
didn't 90 to prison when we were
both captured at Gains Mill?" ex-
claimed Gen. Sweitzer. How did
you escape?"
1T was this way, General. 1t was
Magruder'S men caught me-. They
took us up to division headquarters
before turning us over to the guard.
Magruder and his staff were looking
us over, and 1 thought / would make
a try to get out in the officers squad,
so | calls out:
"Hello! General Magruder. How
have you been these twenty years."
"Who the devil are you ?" says he.
"I'm John Saunders. I was in
Company B, Fourth Ohio Infantry,
in the Mexican war;"
"Who was your Colonel?" says
he, very stern;
"'You were.'
"'Your captain?'
"'Anderson.'
"'Your first lieutenant"
"'Roberts.'
"By gentlemen, he was thar
scried General Margruber, turning to
his staff: This fellow was in my
regiment in the Mexican war. Well,
well. Gentlemen, what can we do
for one of my old Ohio boys, who
has happened to get on the wrong

"They laughed. talked together a
few minutes. and then ordered out
an escort, who hoisted q white flag,

turned me loose. "-Pittsburg Times.

THE LAST OF EARTH.
An Immense COncourse Of People Fol.
lows an Old Pioneer to His Grave.
The Untold Primary cause Of his death.

The largest funeral procession ever
witnessed in Butte followed all that
remained of the late John Hauswirth
to his last resting place, last Sunday.
Both of the city fire brigades in their
uniforms; the Liederkranz society
and about Is carriages containing
our most prominent citizens, pre-
ceded by one of our large city bands
Of music, were in the funeral train.
The six pail bearers were selected
from the two fire brigades of one of
which he had been an hOnOred and
efficient member. Funeral services
we're performed at Caplice Hall by
Rev. Mr.. Blackiston, after which
the procession continued on to the
cemetery. Arriving at the grave the
sad rites were concluded with an ad-
dress in German by DR.. De Freye,
to the family and friends of the de-
ceased, and to the Liederkranz So
ciety, of which he was the founder
in this city, and of which for two
successive terms he had been the
President.
In our brief obituary of Mr.. Haus-
worth, Sunday morning, We merely
mentioned that his death was
caused by a recent exposure
on the Big Hole river. We
have since learned his death was
caused by an act so noble and disin-
terested upon his part, that it places
him in the list of those who have
sacrificed their lives for the good of
others. It appears he was IN a party
which was conveying a lady and her
little children to the Berlin mine.
near Melrose. This was last Tuesday,
the 23rd inst, q day which all here
will remember as one of the coolest
of the season thus far. In
their journey it became neces-
sarv to cross the Big Horn river.
Ice had not formed all the way
across the stream, and it not being
considered safe to take the children
in the wagon, MI. Hauswilth took
t go of them in his arms, while a COM
nanion took the third, and wadlng
in ice-cold water to his hips,
landed the little ones safe
upon the opposite shore. He
then went some distance oe-
fore the mine was reached IN ms
saturated and frozen clothing: he
took a severe cold which eliminated
in congestion of the brain and Ter
minated in his death. Thus died John
Hauswirth, the victim OF a nooie
and praiseworthy act. Peace TO MS
