PRENTISS AND MARMADUKE.
How Two Generals on Different Sides
at Shiloh Met.

AT the panorama of the battle OF
Shiloh in this city a few days ago a
small, shriveled-up man made him.
self conspicuous by going around the
place sniveling d~olorously. He did
not appear to be more than five feet
high. He was dressed all in black
and his attenuated form and gray
whiskers gave him a peculiarly
grotesque appearance. He seemed
to be greatly interested n the pan
Drama, and as he moved from one
point of view to another he groaned
and wept copiously. Atall. raw-honed
man approached him he wore gray
clothes and a military slouched hat,
aud he had the general appearance OF
a Missourian away from home on a
holiday.
s.Reckon YOU were at Shiloh, eh,
stranger" asked the tall, raw-bone0
man.

ed-up man., land I shall never for

A Hurried Trip to Mexico.

We made a hurried business "trip
to Mexico last Saturday. Saw the
ravages of the recent fire. Our
friend, Sam Cook, of the Lntelligen-
Ger, had just returned from ST. Louis,
where he purchased a complete out
fit for his paper. The ~irrepressible
Bob White a found busy in his
sanctum with a basket of empty GIN
ger ale bottles close at his feet. It
was Saturday evening and Bob was
~consoling himself hal his breeches
pockets contained money enough to
pay off the boys in the Office. He
declared the LEDGER booming, and
when we called his attention to the
empty ale bottles he said that ale was
rather a mild drink for the proprietor
of a great weekly, but that he had
departed from his evil ways and moth
ing stronger than ale was permitted
within the precincts of the LEDGER
office.
At the Windsor Hotel, presided
over by our own Charlie Burkhart,
we had a good supper and lodging,
until a tap at our chamber door an.
nounced that it vas nearly l O'Clock,
the time for our departure.
Mexico is a substantial country
town with a good retail trade and
wide-awake business men. 1t lacks
the manufacturing interests possessed
by Louisiana, and also the city all
of IL metropolitan ''burg." The
fact is, when one leaves Louisiana
and returns he realizes more fully the
beauty and thrift of Pixies metropo

THE BOTTOM DRAWER.
The Treasures the Mother Finds When
She Opens 1t.

I saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of the old family bureau this
evening and I went softly out and
wandered up and down until I knew
she had shut 1t up and had gone to
her sewing. We have some things
laid away in that drawer which the
gold of kings could not buy, and
yet they are relics which grieye US
both until both our hearts are sore.
l haven't looked at them for a year,
| but l remember each article. There
are two worn shoes, a little chip hat
with part of the rim gone, some
stockings, trousers and a coat, two
or three spools, bit of broken crock
cry, a whip and several toys. Wife
poor thing-goes to the drawer
every day of her life, and prays over
it, and lets her tears fall upon the
precious articles; but dare not 60.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack,
but not often. 1t has been a long
time, but somehow we can't get over
grieving. He was a burst Of sun
shine into u lives, and his going
away has been like covering ON
everyday existence with a pail
Sometimes when we sit alone of even
ings, 1 writing and she sewing,
child on the street will call out a

police our citizens depend for the safety
of their lives and property, In this respect
they are fortunate in having department
which is efficiently equipped and is faithful
in the discharge of its duties. The city and
the police as well are fortunate in having at
the head of the department man in whom
the most implicit confidence is placed. The
mayor closed by saying he felt certain that
the token of affection and esteem would al
WAYS be cherished as such.
Chief West replied briefly, expressing his
thanks and surprise. He said he was very
poor talker at the best, and in the present
instance felt incapable of expressing
himself. He said that the past year had been
hard one for the police. They had been
subjected to considerable criticism and had
been PLACED in trying situations. He hoped
now that the storm was for the most part
over and that hereafter there would be
smoother sailing. He felt under obligations
TO each member of the police force for the
faithful manner in which they discharged
their duty and realized that if they hal not
so fulfilled the trust imposed upon them that
he would be only a figure head in
his Office. He asked each one to so continue
as to reflect credit upon themselves and the
city.
Mayor Pillsbury was again called upon ana
responded with an informal talk TO the Off
GERS concerning their duties and responsible
tiles, in which he called attention to the fact
that more careful enforcement OF crdi-
nances concerning the condition Of the
streets and sidewalks might lesseu the num-
| Der of suits brought against the city for dam
! ages for injuries to persons who fail down
and break their limbs
| At the close of the mayors remarks those
present, embracing nearly the entire police
| force of the city, helped themselves to cigars
and after cOngratuating the chief once more
| dishursed.
The star is a very handsome one of solid
! gold, and in design is very pretty.
