The Difficulties In Getting Pension.

To THE EDITOR: If you will permit me l
will second the motion of the comrade from
Hartford, KY, in regard to that pruning
of the thorns and dead limbs that have grown
out so thickly from the tree known as the Pen
sion Bureau, and which make it so difficult, and
often impossi bic, for the soldier to climb up to
the limb wherein hangs the pension which he
and his comrades and his neighbors all know he
ought to have.
Like Brother Hubbard, speak as lawyer
ard not as an applicant as have never applied
for a pension for myself, although l served as a
private soldier for upwards of four years in Co.
/, Both Ohio, and in consequence of said service
am seemingly on older man at Al than should
be at 60 However, have had occasion to help
a number Of soldiers in their work Of climbing
the prickly Pension tree as well as some of the
widows and orphans of those who have bivou-
acked on the other shore.-J. Z. WALTON

SWINGS FLESB,
And How it Became Necessity to
81 Klegg.

1t was told last week how the patriotic I'M
pulses of 81 klegg, Of the 20Oth Ind, reached
his stomach and digestive apparatus, and
brought them under Obedient subsection to
bareback. He didn't have quite so rough an
experience with that other staple of army diet,
which was in fact the very counterpart of the
bareback, and which took its most popular name
from that part of the body of the female swine
which is usually nearest the ground Much OF
Sis muscle and Drawn was due to the tact that
meat was always plenty on his fathers farm.
When ii enlisted he was not entirely free from
anxiety on the question of meat, tor to his APP
IetitC it was not even second IN Importance to
bread. If bread was the staff OF life, meat
was life itself to 81. 1t didn't make much diff
ference to him what kind it was, only SO it was
meat. He didn't suppose Uncle Sam would
keep him supplied with quail on toast and
pOrterhousesteakS all the time, but he did hope
he would give him as much as he wanted OF
something in that line.
you wont get much but pork, unless you're
n good torager," said one of Sis friends he met
at Louisville, and who had been year inA the
service.
81 thought he might, with practice and lit
tie encouragement be fairly successful Ill for
aging on his own hook, but at the same time
he said he wouldn't grumble if he could only
get plenty of pork. Fortunately for him he
had not been imbued with the teachings OF
the lIebraic dispensation, which declared "un-
clean" the beast that furnished so much food
for the American soldiers.
Co. @, of the 200th Ind, received, with the
first Issue of army ratiOns at Louisville, boun-
tiful supply of bacon, of prime quality, and 81
was happy Mt the prospect. tie thought 1t
would always be that way.
Il don't see anything the matter with such
grub As that" said 81. Looks to me rs

iron-pl4ted stomach, but putrid and maggOty
meat was too much for it. Whenever he got
any of this he would trade it of to the darkies
for chickens. There is nothing like pork for q
Southern negro. He wants something that will
" stick TO his ribs
By a gradual process of development his ap-
petite reached the point when he could eat his
fat pork perfectly raw. During a brief halt
when on the march he would squat in fence
corner, go down into his havcrsack for supplies,
cut a slice of bacon lay ii on a hardtaCll, and
MUNICH them with keen relish.
At one of the meetings Of the Army Of the
Cumberland Gen. Garfield told story which
may appropriately close this chapter.
One day, while the Army of the Cumberland
was belcagured in Chattanooga, and the men
we're almost starving on quarter rations, Gen.
ROsecrans and his staff rode out to inspect the
lines. As the brilliant cavalcadc dashed by

How the yohnnies Lost Their Hay.

To THE EDITOR: If there are any members
Of the Second Division living. / would like to
ask them if they remember that Sunday morn
ing when Gen. John w. Gcary came along and
asked the boys if they would like 10 have some
fun" We were laying in camp on the Rap
pahannock River; the enemy's picket on one
side and ours on the other. The fun was to
cross over the river and take away several
acres Of hay which the Confederates had been
10 the trouble of curing and had it in condi-
ton to haul away. OF course, the boys did not
mind having little Sunday picnic. The Gen
eral ordered out two brass pieces and planted
them on an elevated piece Of ground ordered
a detail of infantry, good sized company, and
crossed them over The river in an old fatDoat.
They deploycd as skirmishers as soon as they
reached the opposite side. In close order came
all the available horses and mules that could
be found, with rider supplied with ropo to
make bundles of hay and throw it across the
animals back and ford the river, take it to the
Quartermaster and return for more. l guess
the .Johnnies did not know what the move
ment was for until it was too late, as there was
not much of force came 10 oppose us. A few
shots were exchanged, but nobody was hurt
and our side scored another victory. f.
