A RIDICULOUS STORY REFUTED.
A Baseless and Malicious Report Concernin,
Gen. John A. Logan.

Gen. John A. Logan.
Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
The extraordinary story is in circulation in the
West that General Logan, at the battle of Harris
vile, Tenn, was captured, and pretended to be
dead, so that he might be left on the field. and
that his sword WAS taken from him. The follow
ing interview, had by the Tribune correspond
ent with General Logan shows how baseless
and malicious the report is:
Have you seen the statement that is being
published in many OF the papers of the country, y
General Logan was asked, stating that, at the
battle of Hartsville Tenn, you were captured,
but pretended death SO that you were left on the
ground. but that your sword and papers were
taken from you2 Is this true2

er was at Hartsvllle before the war, during the
war nor since the war"
1.-THE whole thing then, is a fabrication"
ut certainly is; since you have called my at
tention to it, however, l will say that I have
noticed recently that the Messrs Payne, who
make this statement, have changed the locality
and say now that it was at the battle of Fort
Donelson. If they make this statement applica-
BILE to me at Fort Doneson, it is just as false as
the one they make in reference to Huntsville. At
Fort Donelson l was severely wounded. but
was not left on the battle field. l was taken to
hospital, had my wound dressed, and thence was
taken to General Grants headquarters boat
Uncle Sam, and remained there till | was able
to be removed. The statement that I ever
played 'possum to prevent capture. or that
was ever near being captured by these or any
other persons. that l was ever defeated or
driven in battle, was ever in any position
WI atever where my sword or papers could be
taken from me by any rebel or set of rebels dur
ing the war, is utterly and wholly false 1 have

the service, and l expect to retain it. pronounce
the Messrs Payne. of Fayette county, Ken
tucky-to-wit. II. c. Payne and his brother, L.
D. Payne-as infamous fasifers, unworthy of
credit on any question whatever. have been
very much surprised to this statement pub
lished in some of the Chicago papers without
any comments whatever, when there are hun
dreds of men in Chicago who served with me
during the whole war, even Colonel Pearson, the
last colonel of my old regiment, who was with
me from the battle of Belmont to the end of the
Rebellion. and knows this statement to oe utterly
false. Why these papers should publish this
statement without some inquiry as to its truth
fulness cannot understand"

Bishop Knickerbacker's Address to the
Children the Importance of Obedience.
At St. Pauls Church, yesterday there was
union service of the several Episcopal Sunday
schools, inaugurating the semi annual session of
the Church Sunday school Institute A pro-
gramme of eighteen numbers was followed, in
The rain delayed somewhat the arrival Of
Sundays schools from one or two of the distant
city missions, but at o'clock the church was
filled by children from seven schools, number
ing between five hundred and six hundred. The
seats reserved for other participants were
crowded, thus giving an audience of nearly a
thousand. Following the ninth number,
"Hark bark my soul! Angelic songs swellin g, !"
the Right Reverend Bishop Knickerbacker ad-
dressed the children, applying to his remarks the
first and second verses of the sixth chapter of
Ephesians, Children, obey your parents in the
Lord; for this is right. Honor thy father and
mother. which is the first commandment with
the promise" The Bishop said that the de-
pendence of child upon the parents makes 1t
right for it to obey. The watchfulness and care
of parents over children are the outward signs of
love, but these are nothing compared with in
ward hopes and fears relating to children. For
all this the only payment asked for is love, love
in dntifulness, acts of gentleness and obedience
Parents stand to children in the place of God
and it is that while disobedience to God is
fraught with misery, obedience to Him brings
blessings It is benefit to a child to be taught
obedience, for al! life is of discipline. When
the child becomes man he only steps from one
kind Of obedience to another, from that of tilial
duty to obey the laws of society and govern
ment. Another reason why child should obey
its parents is that of Gods command
ment He regarded it as being
one of the most important Of the
ten so important. in fact, that to it He gave the
promise of long life A chlds obedience is also
taught by the Saviors example, who was in sub
lection to his parents.
An address by Reginald r. Parker called to
the minds of the children the eight church sea-
sons He enforced their teaching by happy
illustrations and referred to the Christian truth
and event each season brought with it. when
the church always observed the time by song
praise and teaching appropriate to it. Follow
ing was additional musical service, the exer-
cises continuing through the better part of two
hours. The services yesterday were prepare
tory to the exercises of the Sunday school Insti
tute, which takes place this and tomorrow evening
