n9,e aroing his State. When seen by
c'u a.,a- Yesterday he was looking fresh
Hf ,l.,arous and seems to have recovered
- from the severe illness that at one
GU. ,5reatened to keep him from his in
.,'.1rarion last January. His admins

'D ,.LCs are getting along very quietly in
,,i.so,,ri continued the Governor, "pOllt1-
Ai199srd every other way. do not think
49, clements of the Democratic party
si1 +6s state were ever more thoroughly
,,nftsd some of the Office hunting men,
ms of the party are trying TO make some
Sistnrbance. but have long since ceased
- nav any attention TO that class. L was
lifted IN spite of q very industrious and
80 CLIQUE in my own party, and l am
Lad To saw they have nearly all disap-
sasrad Most of them were in st. Louis.
Ths ST Louis ring, as it was once called,
va yvall-nigh died OF starvation"
mDo not some of the papers out there
rakevou rather severely sometimes, Gen.
eral"
What think is right and the papers can
cav what they please. They can 90 their
Tay and I'll 70 mine, and We'll see VINO
gefs there first. The people are with me
and think the papers will be with me,
too before / am done with 1t. You know
he Dapers said was a military martinez,
and that people would have to get up to
me with step-ladder. | wonder what
answer those who have had business with
me would make to that charge? ! believe
in the common people; l like the common
naonle and l am always ready to meet
The common people. They are the salt OF
the EARTH"
@General, do you belong to what is
called the kid Democracy in Missouri"
NO sir The kid Democracy is a small
thing. | belong to the young Democracy
that rules affairs out there just now"
An interesting incident happened in
IultdEO luG OblCl ucAJ III WhiOu OCns NAL
maduke was concerned. He went over
to see the panoramic view of the battle
Of Shiloh which is being exhibited there,
and was greatly entertained by the
strikingly realistic view that was spread
out before him. AS the Colonel of regi-
ment Of Confederate troops, he had taken
an active and memorable part in the great
battle, and he could easily discover on the
bread canvass the many familiar locali4
ties. He WAS particularly interested in
one where his command had met a CALLING
and overwhelming fire from the division
Of the Federal Gen. Prentiss, who WAS
afterward captured with 1000 men by The
COnfederates. Marmaduke was closely
scanning the ground where he and his
men were twice repulsed by Prentiss,
when some one at his elbow said:
"Are you not Gen. MarmadukeT' 500
81 am" was the reply.
you were in the battle OF ShilohW Y
II was, and had devilish hot timeof
fright along there" pointing to the spot
referred to.
Gen. Marmaduke," continued the
stranger, "allow me to introduce to you
Gen. Prentss, who was also at the battle
Of Shiloh" They had never seen each
other before, but were pretty well ac-
quanted and shook hands cordially.
This is what might be called a singular
coincidence,
