Kflpatrick,s Fam.

On our way to Fredericksburg, in
1862, writes a soldier in the Missouri
Republican, wehadencampedfor a day
andlatein the afternoon our attention
was attracted by the music of bandin
agrove only a half a mile away, which
kept playing one lively air for SO long
a time that some few OF us proposed
to go over and see what the fun was
about. At this time Fitzpatrick was
lieutenant-colonel of the Harris fight
cavalry" afterward called by preju-
diced infantry "Kilpatrlck's thieves"
When we reached the grove a very
funny sight greeted us. The band was
still playing, but nearly exhausted.
Fitzpatrick, elevated by standing on a
barrel head, was shouting directions
to at least so darkey men, women
and children, old and young who
were dancing a breakdown in true Vir-
ginia style, the sweat pouring off from
them. The band leader appealed to
Fitzpatrick in behalf OF his wndbroken
band, but in vain. "Kil' shouted
back, "Play till you wear the darkies
out" then yelled to the darkies. keep
it up, boys and girls; you will beat
that band sure"
Aye, there stood the man who was
afterward celebratedinhistory as Gen.
Fitzpatrick, the raider, prompting the
most amusing dance ever witnessed.
No modern minstrel troupe has ever
! equaled it. His officers were just as
he was, and one Of them passed
around the hat, to which the specta-
tors responded literally; then, just as
the band blew a last and dismal blast,
Fitzpatrick threw the contents OF the
hat among the contrabands. Such a
scene! down on all tours, scrabbling,
pushing, shouting and screaming, until
the last silver piece had been secured.
Fitzpatrick came down from the bar
rel, and in his ever genial manner
shook hands with us, saying. seen
tlemen of the 9th, ! am glad to BEE
you. You will excuse this little party
for it is not often that we have such
fun, and at the same time give active
employment to the contrabands."

The town records OF Salem contain
some quaint and curious entries, as

The Cast Iron Man.

An appointment has just beenmade
in Washington which, for lack of any
thing more important, causes consider
able comment, says a Pittsburg Dis
patch correspondent. John G. Collins,
known us the Cast Iron Man." was
sworn iii as laborer at the Geological
survey, and assigned to run the eleva-
tor. Collins was formerly an English
prize fighter, andfor several years past
has kept a sort ofprivategymnasium,
the principal feature of which was a
scientific boxing school. He hasgiven
a great many lessons in the manly art
to prominent public men of the day.
Senator John A. Logan is one ofthose
who formed Collins aristocratic
classes. When Logan was in bad
health he began taking a series Of
lessons in boxing OF Collins, and inthe
course OF time became very proficlenS
with the gloves.
Collins is a brawny Englishman,
weighing about $50 pounds, allmuscle
and activity, and is termed the cast
iron man, from his ability to take
punishment. 1t is related howLogan
gradually improved under his tutors
instructions, until the Illinois states
mar one afternoon knocked out" the
cast iron man in three rounds, much
to the latter's astonishment.
Oneday, while Grant was President,
a party ofyoung bloods went to see
Collins, under the escort Of Col. Fred
Grant. After taking q turn at the
rings, dumbbells aud horizontal bars,
one OF the party, a well made young
Englishmen, struck the fancy OF the
cast iron man, who induced him to
put on the gloves.
II won't hurt ,you,' said Collins,
"don't be afraid"
The young Englishman smiled and
took his guard. In a few passes he
showed that he was not wholly ignor-
ant of the rules OF the ring, and had
some knowledge of the art. This fired
Collins, who saw an opportunity to
show off his skill before Col. Grant.
Now, Collins is verv clevera at the dodge
game, audit takes Il good man to hit
him, even without putting up his
hands.
"Don't be afraid" said he to the
young Englishman; Shit me, knock
me down." and he lodged several live.
ly passes in the most scientific style.
Suddenly the young man reached out
his left duke and lifted the cast iron
man clear off his feet.
That's very, very clever" STAN
mered Collins picking himself up out
of the sawdust, and feeling OF his jaw
doubtfully. ''You are real English
you know. Didn't you think you
could do it. Try it again"
The party then formed a ring and
declared that the game should pro,
coed according to the regular prize
ring rules. Don't you be afraid to
hit me-" said the young Englishman,
as he took his guard. "Let us have
it UP and up now, in two rounds" AT
it they went, and the result was that
the young man knocked the cast iron
man out in three well rounds.
"Who IRE you, anyhow" demanded
the breathless prize fighter. 81 have
fought some fights, and had a good
many matches, but you are the most
scientific sparrer I've met yet. You
are a professional"
'My name is Sartoris," said the
young Englishman. laughing. "I'm
Grants son-in-isw."

in the rear told that Richmond had
fallen. After an hours rest the bat
terry toiled on again. That night some
of the company was missing, and the
Captain made q speech urging his men
to be true to the last. The Union
cavalry swooped in like Cossacks here
and there in the r%etreating lines, tax
ing each time a few men and wagons,
and perhaps q gun. In one OF these
dashes the author was captured be-
fore he or his comrades had chance
to pull a lanyard.
This faithful little history abounds
in sentiment, descriptive passages and
anecdotes, as well as purely military
facts. The author, though not a
preacher, had q pious training, and
sometimes acted as chaplain. Beforea
battle soldiers often came to
him to talk religion, n to
tell him they had just been
converted. AT Gettysburg, during a
lull IN the firing one of his battery COM
rades informed him that he had felt a
spiritual change. There was marked
reform in this convert ''until we were
pleasantly encamped somewhat re-
mote from the enemy, but not longer.
Laugh us we may after the war about
the noisy artillery, and how little it
was feared compared with the cold
gleam OF the infantry bayonet and the
deadly wbiz OF theminie, Iconfess that

solid shot or bursting shells find their
victim, it generally leaves him a disor-

The author at the end is ableto avow
his beliefin the indestructability OF the
right, and to say, "Perish the wrong,
whether hid beneath Southern gray Or
Northern blue" The book has nine
heliotype portraits OF officers.

Diet in Later Life.

1t is during the latter third of his
career that the softer andlighter foods,
such as well-cooked cereals. some light
mixed animal and vegetable soups,
and also fish, for which teeth are bare
ly necessary, are particularly valuable
and appropriate. And the man with
imperfect teeth who conforms to
natures demand of mild, non-stimu-
.ating dietary in advanced years will
mostly be blessed with q better di-
gestion and sounder health than the
man who, thanks to his artificial
machinery, "a eat and does eat as
much flesh in quantity and variety as
he did in the days of his youth. Far
be it from me to under-value the truly
artistic achievements of u clever and
experienced dental surgeon, or the
comfort he affords. By oil means let
us have to his aid when our
natural teeth fail, for the purpose OF
vocal articulation, to say nothing Of

explosion took place became filled
at once with a black smoke. The

literally through fire. In this
